A/N: After a long battle with writer's block, I have returned! New story in tact.
Kelly took a deep breath and a sip of her water as she slowly paced around the catering area.
Tonight, she would be taking on Melina, in what was a sort of unofficial qualifying match, that would put Kelly in a spot to fight for the number one contendership to the Diva's Championship.
Kelly's anxiousness spiked higher when she remember that.
This match could bring her at least a little closer to her dream of becoming champion.
A shiver shook her entire body, and her stomach growled relatively viciously.
Kelly groaned quietly. She hadn't eaten today. The butterflies in her stomach made her repulsed by every edible thing put in front of her.
Glancing over at the catering table, she immediately noticed a tray of crackers and cheese.
It still wasn't quite appetizing, but it would do.
Just as Kelly reached down to grab a cracker, her attention was grasped by the approaching laughter of two of WWE's most heinous Divas, The Bella Twins. The Diva's Championship flawlessly draped on Brie's shoulder.
"Ha! Look Brie, she's eating!" Nikki exclaimed.
"What is this, like the first time in 6 months that she's had food? Wow!" Brie joked along with her sister.
"I'm shocked, Kellz. I honestly didn't know you ate!" Nikki said.
"Very funny." Kelly replied, trying to shake off the need to burst into tears.
"It is, but do you want to hear something even more funny? You actually think you can beat me for this title!" Brie told her, motioning to the pink title that sat on her shoulder. Over exaggerated laughter rung loudly in Kelly's ears.
A mix of emotions swirled through Kelly. Anger, sadness, insecurity, annoyance, and a decent amount of courage fueled her just enough to push her over the edge.
"I can and I will!" She shouted angrily.
The twins' laughter eased, and Brie let out one final chuckle. "Okay, Kelly. Keep thinking that."
Kelly opened her mouth to reply, but she noticed Nikki's eyes flicker away for the slightest moment.
"Oh, Brie, we're on in five minutes." Nikki whispered to her sister.
Brie's eyes also went to the clock, then to Nikki, before finally resting on Kelly.
"We'll see you out there, Kelly." Brie's voice seemed to lace Kelly's name with venom.
Instead of saying anything more, Kelly just watched as her rivals walked away towards the curtian, with possession of what she prayed would soon be hers.
...
Kelly was getting in some last minute stretching as Melina's music blared throughout the arena.
Letting out one final deep breath, Kelly bounced slightly and pushed through the curtain as her music began playing.
She got yet another huge pop, and she smiled widely with appreciation. It truly warmed her heart to have people who looked up to her, and admired her. It was unreal.
High-fiving the fans at the corner of the barricade, Kelly looked over at the announcer's table, catching a glimpse of the wicked twins that sat next to Jerry and Cole.
She ignored them, and ducked under the ring ropes with grace.
Melina was also giving her dirty looks. Her eyes implied that she found Kelly easy pickings.
Giving Melina a small smirk, Kelly jumped up onto the turnbuckle, and scanned the crowd, pointing towards the sky and at the first fan sign she found. A smile still plastered across her face.
Hopping down, she turned to Melina, sporting a new found look of seriousness.
Melina scoffed as the bell ring. "Are you serious?"
She laughed, finding it hilarious that anyone would believe that Kelly was even the slightest bit of competition.
As the two finally locked up, The Bellas' insults started up as well.
"I mean, look at her, Jerry. Would you want to date someone that looked that gross?" Nikki questioned.
"I would love it if my girlfriend looked like Kelly Kelly! That girl's a keeper!" Jerry beamed.
Both Bellas made disgusted looks, but were interrupted by Michael Cole before they could speak.
"Well of course you would, being the kiss up that you are-"
"Are you saying you wouldn't want to date someone as beautiful as Kelly Kelly?"
"That is what I'm saying, Lawler. I'd much rather date someone that resembled the gorgeous Bella Twins right there."
"Thank you, Michael!" Brie cut in.
The four of them's bickering ceased, as each looked up into the ring.
The Bellas watched with eager eyes as Melina slammed Kelly down into the mat.
"Come on, Mel!" Brie yelled.
"Is someone a little scared of facing Kelly with that title on the line?" Jerry asked.
"Never." Brie stated simply.
Melina was getting cocky, and gripped a grounded Kelly by her hair.
She pulled Kelly up about halfway, stopping at her waist, before she looked around the arena with a tauntingly evil smile at the thousands of booing Kelly Kelly fans.
When Melina finally turned her attention back to Kelly, the blonde beauty had regained composure, and used all of her strength to push the Latina off of her.
Melina landed hard on her bottom, but immediately stood up, only to be met with a clothesline from Kelly.
They repeated this twice before Kelly irishwhipped Melina into the turnbuckle.
Kelly ran at her, her elbow connecting with Melina's face.
Melina sunk down, until she was leaned up against the corner.
Kelly stood across the ring, raising her finger into the air and screaming before she charged at Melina.
Kelly turned once she reached the corner, and shook her butt against Melina's face.
Melina fell to the mat momentarily before she stood up, and stalked towards Kelly, only to be caught in the set-up to Kelly's 'K2' finisher.
Kelly quickly rolled Melina over, and got the three count.
Her music filled the arena, as well as loud cheers from everyone in attendence.
The twins were furious, and remained both seated and silent.
"I have an idea," Brie whispered softly to Nikki. It was too quiet for the mics to pick up, or for Jerry and Cole to hear.
Nikki nodded in response, and both took their headsets off before exiting the announcer's desk.
They stood in front of the table, and Kelly stood facing them in the middle of the ring.
Brie raised the butterfly-clad belt up; a smirk on her face that would've frightened the Devil himself.
A sense of uneasiness washed over Kelly.
Something was being planned. Something terrible.
She sent the twins a confused look, but the girls simply smiled before walking around the ring and up the ramp.
Light shined off the belt, grasping Kelly's attention.
Whatever they were planning, she could handle.
Right now, her main focus, was earning her wings.
