**********************************************

"Hey, Matt. How's it going?" Amy called out as she walked into the dressing room with Trish right behind her.

"It's going good, and how are you lovely ladies this afternoon?" asked Matt.

"Where good, by the way where is Jeff hiding now? I haven't seen him since he left our hotel room this morning," inquired Trish.

"He mentioned something about having to do some shopping before coming to the arena this afternoon. He should be here anytime now."

"Ok, thanks Matt. I'm gonna go grab a quick bite to eat from the cafeteria do you guys want me to bring you back anything?" asked Trish.

"No ,I'm good how bout you Matt."

"No I already ate but thanks any way."

As Trish left the dressing room for the cafeteria Matt went back to reading his book and Amy started getting ready for the show that night. After about 15 minutes of comfortable silence Jeff suddenly burst into the room calling Matt's name.

"Gawd, Jeff you don't have to be so loud. I'm sitting right here in front of you and incase you haven't noticed Amy is also in the room as well."

"Oh, sorry Ames, I didn't mean to be rude but I'm just so damn excited I not thinking strait," Jeff exclaimed.

"That's alright Jeff, you never think straight," giggled Amy.

"Ha Ha, very funny. But, no this is different. This is for real. I'm finally gonna do it."

"Jeff, what the hell are babbling about anyway. What is so different and what are you finally going do to?" Matt asked.

"I'm finally going to ask Trish to marry me. I've found the perfect ring and this is the perfect place to pop the question since this is the place where we stopped lying to ourselves and admitted that we were more than just friends and had been fallen for each other ever since she joined Team X-treme."

"Oh my god, Jeff, that's so great. I can't believe two of my very best friends are going to get married. You guys are perfect for each other," Amy said with tears in her eyes has she gave Jeff a hug.

"Congratulations, Jeff. I'm so very happy for you. When are you going to pop the big question?"

"I was thinking of doing it in the ring after our tag match, but I haven't asked Vince yet if I could. Do you think he will go for it?"

"I don't know there's only one way to find out. Go ask him," Amy urged.

As Jeff left to go talk to Vince, Matt glanced at Amy and noticed that she still had tears in her eyes so he went over and gave her a hug. As Matt held Amy in his arms he couldn't help thinking about how lucky Jeff was to have found Trish. Someone whom he could share both his professional and personal life with. If Matt had the choice he would rather date someone in the business because then they know what life on the road is like and how very little personal time wrestlers actually get off to spend at home or with love ones. But, this probably wouldn't be happening anytime in the near future because most of all the current WWE Divas either had boyfriends or were married. And, those that didn't he considered to be just like sisters. Namely Stephanie and Amy. Though there were rumors starting to go around that maybe Stephanie and Paul, a.k.a HHH, were more than just friends. As for Amy, even though he had been strongly attracted to her when they first met she had had a boyfriend and things never seemed quite right for them. And ever since then he had come to care for like a sister, even if occasionally he still felt a twinge of attraction to her, he didn't want to take the chance of losing one of his very best friends.


As Matt held Amy in his arms she couldn't help thinking about how right that this felt. Amy had loved Matt for most of her life it seemed. From the first time they met Amy had been attracted to Matt but she had been involved with someone else and since then Matt just treated her like a kid sister and she wasn't like any of the other women Matt preferred to date. His taste tended to run to more of the blond bombshell type; kind of like Trish.. So no matter how much she loved him it seemed they were destined to be nothing more then friends and Amy had to accept this and move on with her life. Which was easier said than done because it seemed no matter who she dated she inevitably started comparing them to Matt and they always came up missing something and she would have to break up with them.

As Amy went to pull away from Matt he was reluctant to let her go but knew that he had to.

"You feeling okay now Amy?"

"Yeah, thanks, I'm just so happy for Jeff and Trish is all."

Later that night everything was set for Jeff to propose to Trish in the ring because Vince had absolutely loved the idea. As the match ended with Jeff picking up the win over Steven Richards suddenly the lights went out in the arena and when they came back up Jeff was alone in the ring surrounded by rose petals and Trish was left standing alone at ringside.

"Trish could you come into the ring for a second please?" Jeff asked.

Trish looking very confused and uncertain walked up the steps and got into the ring.

"Jeff, what are you doing? This isn't part of the show," Trish whispered.

"I know it's not part of the show, but I couldn't think of a better place to do this. This is were it all started for us if you remember," Jeff was saying was he proceeded to drop down to one knee and pulled out the diamond ring that he bought that afternoon. "Trish you know I love, right and that you make me whole. It would be the greatest of honors if you would do me the privilege of becoming my wife. So will you please marry me and make an honest man of me."

"Oh, Jeff, of course I will. You know I love you so very much and it would be my honor to become your wife," Trish cried as she fell to her knees and started kissing Jeff who was attempting to place the ring on her finger. The audience who had initially been stunned into silence all of a sudden broke into thunderous applause as Jeff and Trish made their way to the back. As they made their way through the curtain they were bombarded by everyone wishing them good luck and congratulations. As they finally made it to the dressing room Trish was in a daze and Jeff was grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh, Trish, I'm so happy for you and Jeff. You guys are going to have a wonderful life together. Now let me get a good look at the rock on you finger," said Amy.

"Let me be the first person to officially welcome you to the family Trish." Matt said going over to give a Trish a hug and to look at her ring.

"How come you guys don't seem as shocked about this as I do? Did you know Jeff was going to do this tonite."

"Yeah, we both knew. Jeff told us what he wanted to do when he got here this afternoon. You don't know how hard it was to act like everything was normal when we knew what was going to happen," Amy explained.

"Amy, you are going to be my maid of honor aren't you." "Trish I would love to be your maid of honor." "You know what this means don't you Ames? It means that know we get to shop."

As the women went off to start planning the wedding Jeff noticed that Matt had gone quiet and got the reflective far off look in his eyes when he was thinking about something deep.

"What's up Matt? You got real quiet all of a sudden. You are happy for Trish and I aren't you?"

"Of course, I am man. I was just thinking about how lucky you were to have found Trish and wondering if I'll ever find that special someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"I know you will. You're a very giving person and any women would be lucky to have you. You do know that has my best man you and Ames will be spending even more time together than usual. Who knows maybe you and her will discover that best friends do indeed make the best lovers just like Trish and I did. You always did have a secret attraction to her didn't you?"

"I don't think so Jeff. You and Trish are a rare breed now a days, and I don't want to take the chance of losing Amy's friendship. Besides she never thinks of me in that way . To her I'm just like a big brother."

"I finally think this is your big chance to get Matt to fall in love with you Ames. You guys will be spending a lot more time together with you being my maid of honor and Matt being Jeff's best man. Now you can show him just how perfect for each other you really are."

"Trish I know you're still on cloud nine about your engagement to Jeff but there is no way in hell that Matt is ever going to fall in love with me. First off I'm so not his type its laughable and he only thinks of me as a kid sister. Just because you and Jeff managed to change your friendship into something more doesn't mean that it's gonna work for everyone else. Besides I've come to the conclusion that were just not meant to be and that it's time for me to move on and find someone who can love me for me. Besides I would rather have Matt in my life as a friend than not at all."

"If you really feel that way Ames then I think while were shopping for things for my wedding we will also start shopping for a new man for you. What do you say; are you game?"

"Shut-up Trish. Quit being such a dump blonde. If I want to find myself a new man I can do it just fine on my own. But, I would love to help you plan your wedding. Were should we start?"
