I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but I just want to say that none of these one-shots are related. They are all separate and take place in their own world.

Okay, that's all.

Enjoy! :)

Everybody Talks - Neon Trees

Dolph sat in Catering, observing all the people who were in there. It looked like a high school cafeteria, filled with the different cliques. He sat by himself and, normally, Zack Ryder, but he was on the European Tour. They didn't really fit into one of the cliques.

First, there were the guys who knew they were popular and big: John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Batista, and Triple H. While Dolph was cocky on-screen, these guys were the cockiest bunch off-screen.

Then there were the Total Divas: the Bella Twins, Natalya, Naomi, Cameron, Eva Marie, and Summer Rae. They were all at their own table, gossiping. They were all friends behind the camera, but on the reality show, they were all bitter enemies.

The other Divas sat at a table of their own, and the NXT Divas, Paige, Lana, and Emma, sat by themselves. Summer Rae used to sit with them, but when she joined the Total Divas cast, she switched cliques.

There were also the guys that the WWE Universe loved, but they didn't let it get to their heads: Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, and the Shield. They weren't cocky at all (well, except for Punk, the self-proclaimed Best in the World) and were always discussing how to improve.

Family normally sat together. The Usos, Rhodes Brothers, and Bray Wyatt (along with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan) and Bo Dallas all sat at a table. Dolph assumed they told stories about their brothers, because there was always laughing coming from that table.

Dolph looked around the room, and his eyes stopped on a brown-haired Diva sitting by herself. She was looking around the room silently, a thoughtful look on her face. The table was empty except for the Divas Championship sitting next to her.

Dolph glanced at the other tables, but everyone was involved in their own conversations. He got up and took a seat at her table. When he sat down, she looked at him.

"Hey, Dolph," She says, surprised.

"Hey, AJ," He says. "Why are you by yourself?"

"I could be asking you the same question."

"I asked first," He says, smirking.

"I used to sit with Kaitlyn, but she left," AJ explains. "The Total Divas hate me and I hate them. The other Divas don't like me because they're jealous, and the NXT girls are mad because I beat Paige to win my title back." She shrugs. "What about you?"

"Zack is on the European Tour," Dolph says. "He'll be back soon."

"Well, we're both alone," She says. "Why don't you sit with me until Zack comes back?"

"Sounds like a plan."

Dolph stood in Gorilla with Fandango, waiting for the segment currently happening to end. Their match was next.

"What's going on with you and AJ?" Fandango asks.

"What are you talking about?"

"Rose said he saw you guys talking," He says, shrugging. "Don't you normally hang out with Ryder?"

"He's on the European Tour, and AJ was by herself, so I fixed both problems," Dolph explains, shrugging.

The Superstars in the ring came backstage and Fandango's music began playing.

***

After their match, which included Summer Rae and Layla coming out to distract Fandango, Dolph made his way to his locker room.

John Cena and Randy Orton walked down the hallway, laughing about something. Dolph walked by and they started whispering.

"Hey Dolph!"

The blonde Superstar sighs and turns around. "What do you want, Randy?"

"I heard you were talking to AJ," The Viper says.

"Yeah, I was," Dolph says, confused. "So?"

"She's bad news," Randy says. "You should stay away from her."

"I'm going to need more information than that," Dolph says.

"She broke my friend's heart," Randy says, pointing at John.

Dolph raises an eyebrow. "You guys didn't even date."

"They did on-screen," Randy shoots back. "That's close enough."

"Okay..." Dolph says. "Listen, as much as I love talking to you guys, I could care less about what you two have to say. So I'm going to go..."

Before they can respond, Dolph turns around and quickly walks into his locker room.

The next day, the WWE was in a new city to film SmackDown. Dolph showed up early and had an hour to kill before the show started, so he went to Catering. There were other Superstars and Divas in there, including AJ. When Dolph walked in there, it got silent. People were trying to hide the fact that they were staring at him.

Dolph walked over to AJ's table and sat down.

"You do know they're staring at you, right?" AJ asks.

He rolls his eyes. "Let them. I don't care."

"Really?"

"Yeah," He replies. "This may come as a shock to you, but I don't care about the shit people think about me."

"Oh, wow..." She says, softly. "That's awesome. I feel the same way, actually."

"Really?" He asks and she laughs.

"If I cared about what the Divas thought, I'd be begging one of their little cliques to let me join," She says. "But I like sitting with you a lot more."

"I'm glad we're on the same page," He says. "You're a great girl. You shouldn't have to beg for anything, let alone friends. They should be crawling over here begging for your friendship."

AJ blushes. "Yeah, right..."

"You can choose not to believe me if you want," Dolph says, shrugging. "But I believe it, and hopefully you will too, eventually."

"Yeah, maybe eventually."
