Prologue
Rachel Bilson is a 29 year old actress, best known for her role as 'Summer' in the hit show 'The O.C.'. The adorable brunette is not a well-known name around Hollywood, only landing notable roles in 'The Last Kiss' and 'Jumper'. While filming 'Jumper', she met and fell in love with her co-star Hayden Christensen and has spent over three years with him.
In February 2011, she was contacted by World Wrestling Entertainment to be the guest host of their Monday Night Raw program. The role called for her to be the on-screen authority figure for a night. Early Monday morning, around 3 a.m., she boarded her flight from Los Angeles, CA to Boston, MA.

"Rachel. Rachel. You need to wake up, we're landing."
Rachel was awoken by her manager Mike. After a smooth landing, they grabbed their luggage and quickly exited the plane.
"Okay, it's 1:30. The WWE officials want you at the arena by 3:00. I set up a limo to get you there, so no worries about being late."
"That sounds perfect! But aren't you coming with me?" Rachel asked with a puzzled look.
"I set up a meeting with another client while I'm in town. Don't worry, you're a big girl you don't need me by your side." They shook hands and went their separate ways.
It was much colder in Boston then it was in L.A., and Rachel had dressed for the weather back home. Her tight denim shorts and red tank top with no bra were definitely not the right attire for Massachusetts in February. She spotted out a restroom in the airport and worked her way through the crowd to get to it. Locking herself in the stall, she opened her suitcase and began to undress. She pulled her tank top over her head and hung it over the door. Reaching in the suitcase, she pulled out a white bra and tight gray sweater. After quickly putting them on, she pulled her shorts down and searched for her jeans in her bag. She found them and quickly pulled them up, having to wiggle her way into them. She then put her boots back on and left the restroom, again weaving her way through the crowd of people and, eventually, finding her limo. After being greeted by the driver and a rep from WWE, she was on her way to the TD Bank North Garden.
"We should be at the arena within 30 minutes, Ms. Bilson." The rep told her.
"Cool. I'm really excited to get this chance. Some of my friends have guest hosted and they told me that it was amazing."
"And everyone is looking forward to having you."
Twenty minutes later, the limo arrived at the arena and dropped Rachel and the rep at the entrance way before driving off.
"Before you meet the performers, Mr. McMahon wants to talk to you. He's going to tell you what to expect and what exactly you will be doing on the show tonight. Follow me."
Rachel followed the woman around the arena. Several stage hands and arena employees introduced themselves to her and complemented her on how good she looked. She shook every one of their hands and thanked them for their kind words.
"Here's Mr. McMahon's office. I'm gonna give you my number, if you have any questions later just call me." She knocked on the door. "Mr. McMahon! Rachel Bilson is here."
"Send her on in."
Rachel walked into the office and was greeted by the 65 year old owner of WWE.
"Welcome Ms. Bilson, have a seat."
She shook his hand and sat down.
"Thanks for having me. I'm really excited for the show tonight."
"Good, we're all really happy that you agreed to guest host tonight. Many performers pushed hard as they were huge fans of yours." A smile came across her face. "We all hope you enjoy yourself and maybe in the future, we can work with you again."
"I hope so, I've been a big fan of WWE for the last few years."
"That's great! Now, let's talk about what is going to happen tonight. You're going to come out after the first match and announce the main event for tonight, Randy Orton vs. The Miz. After the announcement, Layla and Michelle are going to come out and mock you. You're going to set a 5-on-2 handicap match, putting them in a disadvantage, but you are not going to announce who the five are. Once the handicap match is over, you will come out. The five Divas will pick Michelle and Layla up and you will slap them and celebrate with the winners."
"Wow, that's sounds awesome. I can't wait."
"Okay then, here is your script. We set a room up for you to practice your lines and get ready for the show. You will need to be ready to go at 9:35."
"Thank you so much Mr. McMahon. I won't let you down."
"Thank YOU. The room is four doors down to the right of here. Feel free to talk to the performers and get to know them if you'd like. Enjoy yourself."
Rachel had no problem finding her dressing room. She sat down and studied her lines, which didn't take long as there were only about eight sentences she had to say. After about a half hour of studying, she looked at the clock.
"4:30. I got five hours until I'm on. I guess I'll go meet the wrestlers."
She opened her door and turned to the right, where she saw a group of male wrestlers talking to each other. She approached them.
"Excuse me. Hi I'm Rachel, I'm guest hosting tonight."
"Hi Rachel, I'm Daniel Bryan. This is Evan Bourne and this is Justin Gabriel."
She shook each of their hands.
"So, are you a fan of WWE?" Gabriel asked I his South African accent.
