The cameras leave and the show comes to an end. Show pats me on the back as Brock and Paul come in. Aunt Stephanie pops a bottle of champagne and pours a glass for all of us. Everyone raises their glass.

Aunt Stephanie:
To my beautiful, talented God- daughter...and her long, successful career at WWE in The Authority.

We all toast and talk amongst one another. Brock comes up to me and kisses me.

Brock:
Why don't we take this celebration to the hotel? (winks)

Colby walks behind me and puts one hand on each one of my shoulders.

Me:
Actually, baby, Colby and I are planning on spending the rest of the night planning our dialogue for next week.

Brock:
Oh, well, that's fine. (to Colby) Good show tonight, man.

Brock and Colby 'bro hug'.

Colby:
Thanks, man. If it's too late you care if she crashes with me? It's gonna be Steph, Hunter, Paul, Glenn, Michelle and I all discussing what we want to do next with The Authority. It might be late when we get done.

Brock:
Yeah, that's fine. (kisses me) I love you.

Me:
I love you too baby.

Brock leaves. Uncle Hunter, Aunt Stephanie, Colby, Glenn, Paul and I go back to Uncle Hunter's hotel suite. When we get there, Uncle Hunter hands me a beer. "Should I really be drinking?" I think to myself, Colby walks up to me and pulls me into him.

Colby:
Drink up. This celebration is for you.

Me:
I dunno, to be honest, I'm not much of a drinker.

Colby:
You can make an exception for one night. (egging me on) C'moooon. It's a party, loosen up a bit.

Me:
Brock'll get mad if I come back to the room drunk.

Colby:
So, you'll stay with me. Don't worry about Brock, if he gets mad, blame it on me.

Me:
That's a bad idea, Col. You don't know how angry Brock can really get.

Colby:
Don't you wanna have a good time for once?

Me:
Well.....yeah.

Colby:
Drink up, then.

I sigh and start drinking. Colby ruffles my hair.

Colby:
That's my girl.

Room service comes and brings up a table, and I know exactly what's going on---beer pong.

Uncle Hunter:
Alright, I know it's juvenile, but, I want to play a game of beer pong. Three on Three. I'll have a team and.....Colby can have a team. Colby, who do you want on your team?

Colby:
Paul and Mickey.

Uncle Hunter:
Alright, so, my team'll be Steph and Glenn.

Aunt Stephanie:
I've never played this, baby.

Uncle Hunter:
Just try to get the ping-pong ball into the cup. If you do that, someone on the other team has to drink.

Aunt Stephanie:
And how do you win?

Me:
If you clear all the cups on the other team's side.

Colby:
(to me)
Are you any good at this?

I shrug my shoulders. We set up the table and pour the beer in the cups. Aunt Stephanie and I go first. Aunt Stephanie (having never played before) doesn't really do very well. Now, my turn. I breathe in and out deeply and toss the ball. It lands in the middle and sinks into the middle solo cup just like I planned it. I smirk and crack my knuckles. Colby pats me on the back.

Colby:
You've played this before, haven't you?

Me:
(laughing and nodding)
Oh yeah, lots of times.

I sink ball after ball after ball until we win. We then sit down and discuss plans for The Authority.

Me:
I had an idea (everyone looks at me) Why don't Seth Rollins and Mickey Michaels have a no DQ, intergender match next week against....let's say, Dolph Ziggler and Brie Bella?

Uncle Hunter:
You know an intergender match means that Dolph can hit you, right?

Me:
And I can hit him too, what's your point?

Uncle Hunter:
(to Colby)
How do you feel about that?

Colby:
Let's do it!

Glenn:
What about Joey and Jamie?

Me:
I'll tell them to stay backstage.

Paul:
What about the direction we want to go with The Authority now that little Michelle here is one of us?

Uncle Hunter:
I figure we 'brainwash' her into being the pawn for The Authority. Do the dirty work when it comes to the Diva's. (to me) whatcha think? Wanna be The Authority's personal assassin for the Diva's?

Me:
I'll do it. But what about my relationship with Brock?

Aunt Stephanie:
Your Uncle and I have been talking about that...we want you and Seth to be in an on-screen relationship now that you are in The Authority....so, you're gonna turn on Brock.

Me:
WHY?!

Uncle Hunter:
Because a romance within The Authority would up ratings. Think about it...

Me:
If you think that it would help ratings, I'll do it.

Colby:
Just like that? No arguments? (I shake my head) Good girl. (kisses my cheek)

Uncle Hunter:
Your Aunt is having creative write the script, it should be ready within the next few days. In the meantime, you two (pointing to me and Colby) have an interview with GMA tomorrow morning.

Me:
Why me?

Colby:
Because, you're my new little pet project—and Seth Rollins keeps his women by his side.

Me:
What women, you don't have any women...

Colby:
I do now.

We continue discussing things for about an hour; play another round of beer pong, and then Seth helps me to my suite. I give him a hug.

Me:
Come get me like 3 hours before the interview.

Colby:
You got it. Night.

Me:Night, Col.e
