"Thank you for getting here on such short notice Trish. I know what a pain this must have been for you today." Jim said as he took her hand in his and shook it gently.

Trish walked into the office and couldn't help thinking that Jim had no idea what a huge pain this was for her. She only hoped she wasn't getting canned for lack of story line or something. She liked being home in Toronto and was looking forward to the couple of day's rest she had asked for and so richly deserved. Glancing up at the door, Vince made his way in and took a seat behind the desk, while Jim sat down in the chair beside hers. It was now do or die time.

"What we wanted to talk to you about is talent related Trish. We need your help in a little talent problem we are experiencing." Vince said in his loud booming voice.

She was trying to keep an open mind here but with Vince and Jim all business she really didn't have any idea what she was in store for right now. She was also working on no sleep, so she didn't want to seem like she wasn't taking it seriously. She sat up straighter in the chair and looked Vince in the eye.

"What can I do to help you Vince? You know I am willing to do just about anything to help things get better on the shows."

"Well what we need from you, is to leave your position on Raw, and come over to Smack down. We have no women's talent line there to speak of, and it needs to be seriously looked at and molded, and we think there is no one better then you for the job. So what do you think?"

She was absolutely floored. She didn't really think they were going to ask her to move shows. She was content being on Raw and making a good run of the women's title division and she had assumed that they were happy with her there as well. Now what she was hearing was that as happy as they were with her performance, they wanted to move her from everything she knew.

"Wow, I didn't think you were going to say that. You want me to go over to Smack down and establish a women's division? Then I can come back to Raw?" she asked questioningly. She didn't really understand what they wanted from her.

"No, you will be staying there and working other story lines with the superstars. This means you will be seen by Stephanie and any concerns you have are to be dealt with by her. Can you handle that?"

"Well do I really have a choice here Vince? If I don't go to Smack down what happens to what I've built on Raw?"

"At this point we didn't think that far ahead. We thought you would see this as a good opportunity to try something new and give yourself a break from the mundane things you have been dealing with on Raw as of late."

"You mean the backlash of Jeff leaving don't you? I mean that is why I haven't been getting a push lately. Something happened there that you aren't telling me about and I am getting beat on for it. Isn't that right guys?"

"We didn't say that did we? We know there is a lot of talk about why Jeff left and it's mainly centering itself on you, and we hope that by your move to Smack down it will cease the talk and go back to being about the action. No doubt losing Jeff was something we didn't want to do, but it had to come to this. It had nothing to do with you, and we do not want to be treated like we placed the heat on you for it."

"So this move to Smack down is supposed to be a good thing for my career?"

"Yes, we have some ideas for things in the future with you and a few of the superstars there, and I think it would be if anything a learning experience for you."

"Well Vince, I am not going to argue with you on this, so put me where you need me to be, and I'm there. You know that. I will make this new women's division as strong as I can seeing as it is just me over there. When do we make the official move?"

"You are going to go to Raw and defect over from Eric's side to Stephanie's. We will get you the story script and you can have a look at it on your flight back home. I'm sure you will find it to your liking anyways. You get to tell Eric off for being such a sicko."

"Is there anything else you guys want to tell me about? So I don't get more of a surprise when I move shows?"

"No, at this time it was just that bit of news we wanted to pass on to you. So you will do this thing on Raw and the next night, wherever we will be, you will be on Smack down and you will be on camera with Stephanie. Does that sound like the plan as we made it Jim?"

Trish shot a look over at Jim who seemed a little uncomfortable being seated next to her. She figured that he was worried she was going to nix the whole plan and they would have to come up with someone else for the job. He still hadn't gotten over the fact that at first she challenged it. She felt kind of bad for the guy. It was obvious he didn't really want her to switch shows. He liked having her on Raw for creative reasons.

"That's the plan Vince. So we will see you on Raw for your last showing Trish. Thanks for agreeing to this without a fight, and I can't wait to see what you can do for Smack down. We want the best division ever over there, and we have faith you can bring us that over time."

"Well guys, if that's all you wanted to tell me, I think I better go check myself into a hotel and get some much needed rest. I've got a long couple of days ahead of me, not to mention the house shows coming up all over the States. Thank you for your time, and your faith in my ability to make things right."

"We have nothing but faith in you Trish, and if Stephanie doesn't get a chance to tell you, welcome to Smack down."

***********

Walking out the office Trish just sighed. She leaned against the wall and though about what was now happening to her. Her best friend Lita had just come back to action and won the women's title in a ladder match with her, and now she was going to have to leave her and build the whole women's division from scratch. She didn't know how much faith she had in herself to do it. She sighed again and then heard someone cough behind her.

"Sorry, I didn't realize anyone else was out here."

"Don't worry about it girl, I just have to go see those two about the same thing as you it seems."

"You're John Cena right?"

"The one and only."

"Well John I doubt your going in there for the same reason as me. Unless you're secretly a woman and you want to have a go at me."

John laughed and rubbed his hands together in what seemed like a nervous movement. He didn't think this woman would be this quick with the comments.

"Well I'm no woman, but when you're ready to have a go at me, let me know. Aren't you on the other show anyhow?"

"Not anymore it seems. So maybe you should welcome me here. I'm now a part of your Smack down team."

"Don't sound so happy about it princess. You might break your perfectly carved face. I'll have you know there is nothing wrong with being on this show. I'm here and just look at me."

Trish looked him over and laughed louder then she had intended. She didn't want to be the one to tell him this, but she really didn't know what he was talking about. It seemed he had a good sized ego though, so she would have to break it to him gently.

"What am I supposed to see? All I see is someone who looks like he could be a brother for Eminem. You know the brother that rides his coattails?"

With one sharp movement she walked off down the hallway. She didn't even want to wait to see what kind of response he would think about giving her. She just wanted to get out of here and enjoy a day's peace away from the wrestling business.

**************

"We called you in here to do us a big favor John. You think you are up to it?"

"I'm up for anything Jim, Vince, but you guys already know that."

"We need you to watch over someone for us. She is a new talent to the Smack down roster and we want to make sure she enjoys her time over here. She is really used to Raw and we want to make sure the transition is smooth."

"Sure I can help a pretty dame in a pinch. You guys can count on me."

"See that's what I told Vince. So she will debut on Smack down next week and I want you to be there with her, on camera." Vince said with a huge grin.

"Sure man, what's the angle?"

"We want you to be there for her, on her side, and we want that to show on camera as more. I see you and her being a huge force and a huge story for us. So you're in?"

"I get to work with a pretty dame and keep doing my freestyle raps, why wouldn't I be in?" John asked with a small laugh.

"Good, you'll meet us in the arena next week and meet her, and you guys can go from there. That sound alright?" Jim asked.

"Sure, sounds great, but who is the dame I'm handling?"

"Her name is Trish Stratus, and she is a three time women's champ."

When John heard her name, he thought about the girl in the hall that he had shared words with, none of them being any good. His heart just stopped in his chest. He had just agreed to work with someone that really got his blood boiling. From the looks of it, she had no clue what was going on at this point, only that she was being moved. This could only result in all things bad for him. He put himself ass first into it this time.
