Johanna took a deep breath and headed down the corridor of the arena. Tonight was to be her first night as an assistant to the WWE divas. She had gotten the job by a chance meeting with Mr. Vince Mcmahon the previous night, when the WWE hosted an event in her hometown of New Hope, Minnesota. Her on again, off again boyfriend of 2 years, Chris Masters introduced her to Vince after the show, and he was immediately taken aback by the tall, flame-haired beauty. She was a striking presence, her long hair pulled back into a loose braid, and her sky blue eyes seemed to pierce through Vince with a look of both strong self confidence, and undeniable admiration for the chariman himself. Vince and Johanna spoke for a little over 20 minutes, and in that time, he realized that her passion for wrestling went far beyond that of an average fan. He offered her the job on the spot, telling her that she was free to start the next evening in Minneapolis, for the company's Monday night event, Raw.
Johanna rounded the corner and stopped in front of the door marked "Womens Locker Room". She pushed the door open slowly and peeked around it before taking a step inside. She was greeted immediately by the smiling faces of Lita, Trish Stratus, and Victoria.
"Hi! You must be Johanna McCarthy. I can tell by the overwhelmed look on your face." Trish smiled warmly, taking Johanna's hand and shaking it.
"Well I..yes, I am Jo McCarthy, and if I look overwhelmed it's because I'm such a big fan of all of you."
Trish laughed "Well of course you are sweetie!" She teased, leading Johanna further into the room. She gestured towards the other divas. "This is Lita, and the one over there in the towel is Victoria."
Johanna smiled and waved over to the other women. She was surprised at how 'at ease' she felt with these girls. She figured it was because they reminded her so much of her sorority sisters back at college.
"So anyway dear, I am having my outfit for tonight pressed down the hall, which should be ready shortly. I need some shampoo and hairspray for after the show because I am all out, so if you could run down to the store and pick me up some that would be great. Oh! And I need to get my name in for an appointment with the makeup girl as soon as possible so that I don't have to wait all night." Trish smirked and crossed her arms over her chest. "You got that? Or so you need me to write it down for ya?"
Lita shook her head. "Jesus Trish! Back off will ya? It's the poor girls first day. You want to ease up a little?"
Trish huffed and threw her hands up. "Well excuse me, Lita! I had just assumed that errands were a part of her job!"
Johanna's eyes grew wide with nerves as she looked from one diva to the other. "Well, actually, I'll just..." She gestured to the door as if to leave.
"Yes, it is her job to run errands for us, but not to be at your every beck and call!" Lita yelled, continuing to argue with Trish.
Johanna walked to the door and opened it. "I'll get right on that Trish!" She called out as she slipped out into the hallway.
Once outside of the locker room, Johanna drew in a deep breath and sighed. 'This isn't going to be a walk in the park' She thought.
