Champ in Training (Anyone!)

John walked into the gym, eager to enter the atmosphere of weights and equipment. He was determined to be in tip top shape for his next time in the ring. He set his stuff down next to a rack of weights, starting out with the easy stuff. Without realizing that he'd done it, he removed his shirt, not that he actually cared, and then returned to his reps, not knowing there was someone else there.

(Anybody!)

Ellie happened to be in the gym that morning and she spotted John. She was wearing grey sweats and a black tank top with her hair up in a ponytail. She had never spoken to John, so she figured she'd introduce herself and get to know him a bit, especially since they were on the same brand.

Walking over she smiled a little.

"Hi John."

He looked over to the girl who had called his name.

"Hey," He knew her name, it just seemed to pass his mind, embarrassingly. "Ellie, right?" He gave a smile.

"Yeah, Ellie." she chuckled.

"Haven't seen you around in a while."

"Yeah, I guess so. Life's been pretty hectic. So what's up with you?" He asked, making conversation.

"It has been. Oh, nothing much, just deciding to get a work out in."

"Got my mindset."

"Guess so." she chuckled.

"Got anything in the ring you preppin' for?" John asked, lifting a weight with his right arm.

"Not really. I just wanted to sort of work on getting myself together again. Too many nights eating oreos." she joked.

"Ah. I know those nights." John laughed. "It's fast food that gets me."

"I love fast food as well, but I'm a sucker for junk food."

"If only vegetables were just as addictive." He jokes.

"I still don't think I would eat them." she chuckled.

"Yeah, me neither." He laughed.

"So anything going on with you?" she asked as she went to a treadmill.

"I wish." He sighs.

"What? The champ has nothing going on at all?" she chuckled.

He chuckled. "Well, I don't know how to explain it, I just feel like there's something I'm missing in my life."

"Hm, well is it something to do with work or your personal life?"

"It has nothing to do with work, I absolutely love my stay on Smackdown." he says. "It's a personal thing."

"Aw, sorry. Anything I can do to help?"

"Probably not, no offense." He says. "I guess I just feel like there's nothing to look forward to, or anyone to look forward to."

"None taken." she chuckled.

"Oh so you mean you sort of want a girl."

"It'd be nice."
