It has been a little over a month later, past Money In The Bank. I was currently in Steph's office with the boss herself and a few other weird people I've never seen before.

"So, Kathryn. You're wondering why I called you in here, yes?" Stephanie asks me. I nod.

"Oh, but before you start, I didn't do it." I tell her, raising my hands up in the air. Let's just say that this small meeting was unexpected.

Stephanie laughs. " Honey, you're not in trouble. This is a wonderful offer." She says. She folds her hands on the table and clears her throat.

"These three people," She starts, motioning to the three people that I've never seen before. Two females and one male. "have a great offer for you that I think you're gonna like."

I look at the people, and they all smile at me. I return the favor with a small smile.

"So, Kathryn," Stephanie begins, causing me to bring my attention back to her. "You're wonderful at acting. Just absolutely wonderful. Your wrestling moves are just out of this world. You're wonderful in the ring. You put on great shows for our audience." She says. "But it's time to take it to the next level, am I right?"

"I guess . . . whatever this next level is." I shrug.

"Movies." Stephanie says with a huge smile on her face. My eyes widen and my mouth forms into an "O" shape.

"You don't mean . . ." I start, but I couldn't go on.

"Oh, I do, Kathryn."

"I'm going to watch movies as a job?!"

Stephanie gives me that what-the-heck-are-you-talking-about look. She stays like that for a few seconds before going back to "normal."

"Um, no. But that would be a nice job." Stephanie says with a smile.

"Yeah, it would."

"Anyways, these people have come here to give you an opportunity." Stephanie says. She allows the three strangers to talk.

A tall girl with short brown hair and light tan skin introduces herself as Tess. "So, we'd like you to be in a movie." She says, handing me a booklet that says the words "Killing Daddy" on it. "Yes, that's the name of the movie. We'd like you to play as Callie, the daughter of a rich father who sent her away in a mental institution. She left her family and three years later, she goes back to get revenge on her father, the man who Callie thinks killed her mother when she was just a little girl." Tess says.

"The plot sounds really cool. I've always wanted to be in a movie like this." I tell her.

I'm really thinking about doing this movie. It could bring my career up for sure, and I'd be playing as the main character.

"What would happen in the WWE? Like with my title?" I ask, turning my attention back to Stephanie.

"Well, we already have it planned. You lose it the night of Payback. Your match is with April. Then, on Monday night,with the whole Shield break-up thing, we will have April come out and attack you. That doesn't mean she's joining the Authority. We'll have her do a speech about that on Friday Night Smackdown."

Oh yeah, the break-up of The Shield. Jon, Colby, Joe, and I were called in last Friday for a meeting with our bosses, and they told us the whole storyline. Of course, we left the meeting feeling upset. I mean, The Shield is the most dominant team right now. But, that team has to go, right?

I sigh.

The person who turns his back on us is Colby, which sucks. Why couldn't it be Joe?

I shake my head out of thoughts and continue on with the meeting. "And, how will the whole thing go? I just get attacked and I pretend to be out for a couple of months?" I ask.

"Yes, so you can work with the movie." She says.

"Would I get another title shot?" I ask her.

She nods. "You would."

I sit there for a moment and think. So being out for a few months to do a movie and get another title shot sometime later in the year? Sounds good to me.

"I'm in. I'll do the movie." I say, smiling. Tess and the other female high-five each other, while the man just smirks up at the ceiling.

"Keep the booklet." Tess says. "It's your script."

I stand up and shake their hands and I give Stephanie a hug. "Thank you guys so much." I say, leaving the room and shutting the door behind me.

I walk quickly to catering to tell April the news.

"I'm going to be in a movie!" I exclaim, handing her the script.

She's smiling from ear to ear, obviously proud of me. "Killing Daddy. Sounds like a good movie!" She says, giving me a high-five.

"It's crazy. I'm so excited." I say, jumping up and down.

"I'm so happy!" April yells. She gives me the biggest hug of my life, and doesn't let go.

"Um, April. Can you let go now?"

She lets go. "Oops, sorry. I'm just so proud of you!" She says.

"Well let me get you some food and tell you who I'm loosing the title to . . ."

We both walk to the table where food is laid out and begin filling out plates together.

I smile the whole time, realizing that my career is going up.

I'm going to be in a movie.
