"So what makes you think you can be a writer with the WWE, Ms. Carmichael?" Jim asked as he sat down at his desk.

"Ive been working on soaps for so many years now, that it only seems natural to me to write. When I heard about the position being open here for head writer, I knew I had to take a chance with it. It might be a different style of writing, but as Ive said, Ive been doing it for years now, and it just seems like something I could do, and do well."

"Ive actually talked to your former bosses, and they all have the same thing to say about you. They were sad to see you go, because you brought an element to the table that most people just dont possess when it comes to writing."

"That seems right in my perspective. That is how I look at everything. You have to have the desire and the drive to write, and write well too. I think in all honesty that I have that drive and heart, and I can do some really good things with it, if given the chance too."

"To be honest here Ms. Carmichael, everyone that I have interviewed thus far, doesnt have the background that you do. Most of them are fresh college students that think they can take on the world. I notice you didnt go to college, and that you got to where you are in the writing business by using your head and knowing what people want. I have to say that Im impressed greatly with it. So if you want it, the job is yours."

"Are you serious?"

"Ive never been more serious in my life. Did you assume you werent going to get it? You are talented and I know that you know you are."

"I shoot low when I look for jobs Mr. Ross. If I get my hopes up too much, I usually get the we already have everyone we need speech, and at this point in my life, I didnt want to hear that."

"Well you wont be hearing it from me anytime soon, believe me. Do you mind if I ask you how old you are?"

"Im 28, actually in July I will be 29. Ive been writing for so many years now, since high school. Ive gotten really proud of myself."

"Well after all those years and the jobs youve had, I can see why. You really are very talented and I cannot wait to see what you bring to the table. Right now though, we only need you on one show. This is the Raw brand. Are you familiar with it?"

"A little bit. My roommate and I watch wrestling every once in awhile. Well she watched religiously, and I sort of join her when Im not working. So that is the Monday night Live show right?"

"The one and only. Youll be dealing with me primarily because I am based on that show, even though I run the talent end of things as well for both shows. So if there is anything you need to discuss, most nights you can bring it right to me. Are there any questions relating to the job right now?"

"Actually there is just one."

"Whats that Hayley?"

"Well Mr. Ross, when do I start?"

"Shane, you need to focus on the damn moves Im doing here man!" Jay screamed at him as he landed flat on the mat, with Shane staring out in space.

"Sorry man! I was just thinking is all. Lets go over it again. I promise I will let you get that move off on me this time."

"No buddy, the moment is gone now. Whats on your mind?" Jay asked taking a seat on the ring apron and grabbing his water bottle.

"Just this girl.."

"Okay I dont think I want to know. I remember what Jeff was like with Summer when they first met. Im going to regret asking arent I?" Jay rolled his eyes and drank some water.

"No you wont because unlike Jeff, there is no story to tell here, and Jeff is married to the girl now."

"So why are you thinking about her then?"

"She was nice, that was all. Plus when we were sparring, I had this feeling that I cant explain."

"What do you mean?"

"Well if I knew then it wouldnt be unexplained now would it?" Shane laughed and smacked Jay on the arm.

"Well I mean explain the sensation to me, make me understand it. Do you even know her name?"

"Her name is Hayley, and she lives in Raleigh, which as you know, is like five minutes from me. We all went out this club on the weekend and she was there. I noticed her sitting alone since her friend took off with her boyfriend, and I asked her to dance. We ended up talking the whole night, that is until Matt and Shannon wanted to get back to their spouses."

"Did you get her number then?"

"No, because like I told Matt this morning, I dont need that right now."

"Dont need what right now? Some nice conversation or a pretty girl?"

"You make it sound so easy man. Its not like that. I liked her, but Im on the road so much and she has her own career. I cant just call her up and say wait for me now can I?"

"No, but you could always be her friend. That is something Ive heard of happening. She doesnt have to sit on her ass and wait by the phone for you man. Shes got her own career, so she probably doesnt have a whole lot of time anyways, but some nice conversation while youre on the road, I dont see the harm in that. Do you?"

"Jay, have you ever had a female you dated before you got married, that just was content to have some conversation while you are a million miles away?"

Jay thought about it for a minute and looked up at Shane. It was obvious that with everyone getting married around him, he was lost in what his place was, since he seemed to be the only single one of the group.

"Yeah I have, I ended up marrying her. I dont know what to tell you man, because you might have her name, but without her number there really is no way to get this girl back."

"Yeah I know. Lets just forget about it and get back to work. I want this match to go down as one of my best."

"You and me both." Putting his bottle of water on the ground and jumping back in the ring, Jay decided to beat this girl out of Shanes brain, because there wasnt any other way to get him back into the training.
