7/9/05…

"Well… that's the last of them. You all ready to go?" Yukie replied after helping Amanda put her packed up belongings in the car.

"Just about… fighting the nerves though, it's a big decision." Amanda responded, her light brown hair tied back in a ponytail and Yukie knowing that in a few years, it would change color… and she honestly hoped that the company would never make Amanda bleach it as both girls felt that there were too many fake blondes in the WWE.

"I'm really going to miss you, Mandy…" Yukie said, holding back the tears knowing that Amanda was her only friend she had beside her brother, Hiroki.

"I'm gonna miss you too, Yukie. Try not to drive Hiroki crazy, okay?" Amanda responded, both laughing as they hugged.

"I won't, but will I see you again, beside TV?" Yukie questioned after they let go.

"Around Thanksgiving… and hopefully in time for Christmas, depending on when WWE does the Tribute To The Troops special. Remember the first one where Eddie put on a soldier's vest to protect himself during a match?" Amanda responded, brushing tears away.

"Eddie's never gonna change. Hey, did Ashley say what tattoo she's getting?" Yukie replied.

"Not yet but I know Gil is gonna flip out because she's his youngest and he's very protective. I'll try to bring her along with me, okay?" Amanda responded.

"Alright. By the time, you've get back, there will be a change in me, Mandy." Yukie explained.

"We embrace the changes." Amanda responded before they saw John. "I better go. Take care of you, okay Yukie?" She responded before they hugged again for a few seconds.

After Amanda and John were gone, Yukie looked out at the midday sky.

"You hang onto your dreams, Amanda… and never let go." Yukie whispered with a smile…

Present time, 8/25/15

'I guess I look for her… whoever she is.' Yukie thought, looking at a more recent picture of Amanda as she walked around the arena and knocked on a door… which Seth opened.

"Can I help you, Miss?" Seth asked.

"Yes. Does this woman work here?" Yukie replied, Seth seeing the picture of Amanda.

"Yeah, but what are you doing with a picture of Mandy? Are you a fan?" Seth questioned, taking the picture into his fingers.

"An old friend. I lost most of my memories of her and am trying to recover them." Yukie replied before Seth handed her the photo. "She hardly looks like she's aged since I last saw her." She replied.

"North hallway, second locker room on the right… she might be catching up on sleep though." Seth explained.

"Was last night rough?" Yukie asked.

"Yeah, somehow she got caught up into a fight backstage with Alexa. But I bet Balor is probably in there with her, protecting her from the outside." Seth explained, before Yukie left.

"We as humans do need protection." Yukie replied quietly before she knocked on the door… and Finn opened it, Yukie seeing Amanda with a bandaged hand. "How bad?" She asked.

"Just scraped up a knuckle. Mandy's told me about you… Yukie, right?" Finn responded after letting Yukie in and closing the door.

"Yeah, that's me…" Yukie replied, before looking back at the picture and back to Amanda. "Are you Amanda?" She questioned.

"That's me…" Amanda responded as she stood up. "I missed you, Yukie." She replied as Yukie lightly examined Amanda's bandaged right hand.

"Were you punching a tree or a person?" Yukie questioned.

"A person, then a wall after they dragged Bitchy Bliss off." Amanda answered, Yukie snickering slightly.

Alexa was in her own locker room, her nose bandaged as Seth walked in.

"Ouch…" Seth responded after a cringe at seeing the bruised and bandaged nose and black eye that Alexa had.

"Yeah, she really aimed that one. I guess calling Finn a thirst trap lusting after an equally thirsty whore was a step too far in her opinion." Alexa replied, Seth's brown eyes widening slightly.

"You called him that, insulted her as well and she broke your nose? Damn, she has more spunk than I remember." Seth responded.

"Yeah, a little too much of it." Alexa replied.

"Hey, the days leading up to and after SummerSlam get crazy. Maybe it's the change in weather that brings it out in us." Seth explained.

"So you're saying that I shouldn't be surprised if one or two people feel fighty?" Alexa responded.

"Some get fighty, others get frisky." Seth replied before he left.

When Seth found Amanda, he saw her talking to Finn as Yukie talked to Samoa Joe… and saw that Amanda was only hiding a bruise on her face and a bandaged hand while Alexa had some bruises that were hard to hide.

But he also saw that Finn had Amanda sitting on his lap and his arms around her… and Amanda laughed softly as Finn whispered in her left ear.

"We'll get thrown off the air for that, Mister. The USA Network is very strict." Amanda responded quietly, her right hand resting on his left shoulder.

"It's not gonna be as suggestive as Edge and Lita's live sex show from 2006, Darlin'.'' Finn replied.

Seth's eyes widened and he felt like his body was burning with rage… until he was slapped on the back and saw Sting.

"Hey, kid. You look steamed." Sting responded.

"I'm just worried about Mandy with this guy, that's all." Seth explained.

"Well she seems happy… and he's tickling her." Sting responded, Seth turning after hearing Amanda laugh as Finn tickled her sides and hips and Amanda laughed… and Amanda jumping onto Finn's back before he held onto her legs and spun her around, which Yukie saw and smiled.

"I promise you, she'll get tired of him. And that so called confused friend will be thrown away once Mandy and Finn get rid of her." Seth replied.

"Surly bastard." Yukie muttered.

"He's just pissed because his girl got fired." Joe replied, Yukie looking at him.

"His girl? Who is she?" Yukie questioned.

"Zahra Schreiber. But…" Joe replied before lowering his voice. "She posed for racist pics and they surfaced so WWE got upset." He whispered, Yukie's eyes widening in shock.

"Damn… Sour Face over there better not do anything to mess his own career and not even others." Yukie responded.

"He won't." Joe replied as Seth left. 'I hope he won't.' He thought.
