4/22/15, NXT Taping, ten minutes earlier…

"Bravo, Finn. Everybody loves Finn Balor, everybody's so impressed with Finn Balor! Well you know who isn't? Me, Tyler Breeze!" Tyler said after appearing on the titantron. "You walk in here and let me assure you, you're nothing more than a flavor of the month… well, in more ways than one, just ask your Demon Mistress. It's time you meet someone who's been dominating NXT since day one. Prince Pretty… see you around, Finn."

The titantron returned to the NXT logo and Finn turned to his right, seeing that Amanda wasn't having much luck keeping her anger controlled, judging from her clenched right fist.

"Prince Pretty, crashing the party. Tyler Breeze obviously not as impressed with Finn Balor as we are." Tom Phillips said.

The backstage area was tense when they reached it and Finn got Amanda to sit down, rubbing his hands along her shoulders and upper arms.

"Read that part of the script multiple times over… what the fuck is with him, taking cheap insults like that?!" Amanda growled, attempting to stand up but Finn stopped her. "He's either really into his character or he is a narcissistic son of a bitch!" She said as his thumb rubbed back and forth on her right wrist.

"And you need to calm down before going and finding him… that wasn't right what he did but beating someone senseless backstage won't help." Finn responded, Amanda closing her eyes and taking a deep breath before opening them.

"Just when I thought this wasn't starting to feel like high school again…" Amanda said quietly before both stood up…

Present time…

The door to the male wrestlers locker room opened and Kevin Owens walked into the hallway… before seeing Amanda.

"Is that John Morrison ripoff in there?" Amanda asked, Kevin stopping her as she attempted to walk in. "Hands off me, Kevin." She said but he wouldn't let go of the tiny brunette.

"You need to think straight, kid." Kevin responded.

"There are days I don't know how Sami puts up with you, he doesn't go stopping you when you want answers from someone." Amanda said.

"Mandy…" Kevin started to say.

"I'm not gonna slap him unless he provokes me. That clear enough?" Amanda explained, Kevin letting go and Amanda walking in.

It wasn't long before she found the 6ft tall blonde haired man… and he saw her and stood up.

"What the hell was that out there? There's not been one problem between us in the five years we've known each other… we're not friends but as co-workers, we need to remain professional on screen." Amanda said, Tyler letting out a humorless chuckle… until she grabbed him by the collar of his fuzzy vest.

"This ain't funny, Tiny!" Tyler responded.

"Don't call me Tiny! Now start talking! You got some kind of problem with me, Finn or the storyline, man up and tell me what the hell it is! Or are you too spineless to do so?" Amanda replied, Tyler prying her hands off the vest and turning angry at her.

"Ever since you met him, you just… you're not the same person. Either you're too open or he's too luring, either way I can't stand it!" Tyler responded.

"Well people connect like that, you and Audrey did and I never had a problem with it. I calmed down, how is that a problem?" Amanda said.

"Calming down isn't this, you're completely different! It's like the Mandy I met was cast aside and you stomped into her place!" Tyler replied.

"Oh, that Mandy wasn't healed! I was a mess back then, remember that?!" Amanda responded, Sami opening the locker room door and seeing Finn.

"Oh damn, how angry is she getting?" Finn asked.

"You haven't even try to patch things with Rollins!" Tyler yelled.

"How the hell was I supposed to know he was gonna try to end my career?! Or that he didn't want me rebuilding it after he tossed me aside?!" Amanda shouted, Finn and Sami running in and Finn pulling Amanda away from Tyler.

"You have no right throwing that back in her face. What was she supposed to do, stay locked in who she was after he slammed the chair into her leg?!" Finn said angrily, Tyler turning his anger to Finn.

"Take it as business and move the hell on! Her and Seth!" Tyler responded.

"Lance was right, you are a self entitled son of a-" Amanda said, Finn catching Tyler's fist and pinning him against the lockers with his forearm against Tyler's throat.

"Don't ever put your hands on her! Got that?!" Finn growled before backing away and guiding Amanda out of there. "Lance Storm had trained him?"

"Back in 2006… I caught up with Lance in 2010 and that's how I first met Tyler." Amanda responded.

"Two people near the same age, completely different mindsets." Finn said.

"I grew up pretty fast, I was just 14 when I started learning how to wrestle… finished school online so I could pick up on things, get used to the life on the road." Amanda replied as Finn rested a hand on her back.

"You just knew that this was where you were meant to be." Finn said.

"Yeah… not everyone knows that in their younger years." Amanda responded as they headed to their locker room and grabbed their things.

A torrential storm had blown in by the time they had reached the car, making the late April weather feel like mid January chill.

"Damn, this is insane!" Amanda said once both were in the car and Finn turned the heater on… and both, for a few seconds, saw lights flash across the darkened sky. "That was too big to be a police helicopter…"

"And this storm's too violent to follow it, whatever it is." Finn responded as he drove carefully.

"Think whoever's in that thing will be okay?" Amanda asked.

"Something that big… I'd say it'd have to be a sea rescue one, the ones with twin rotors and winches at the doors for stretchers. Might be a ship stranded out there on the water." Finn replied.

"Wouldn't doubt it, lot of boats out on the water in Florida all year around." Amanda said as the drive back home continued.

But her sixth sense was going off…
