Chapter 1: "It's Over"

A beautiful sunset in Sacramento, California. The sky is full of energy and heat from the shocking close of Raw. General Manager, Stone Cold, has rehired Lita and she has threatened the women's division. It is now about 11:30 P.M. It's after the show and Lita is packing her materials at her Locker Room.

"What a night.." Lita comments to herself under her breath. She stuffs her belongings inside her dark green duffle bag, zips it up and tosses it over her shoulder.

The beautiful redhead is wearing a black, sleeveless shirt with a skull on the front, dark blue flared jeans and her 'signature' black and red shoes. (She used to wear them all the time while wrestling in her old ring attire.) She steps out of the Women's Locker Room area and softly shuts the door. She continues walking down the narrow hallways.

"Lita! Lita! Can I have your autograph?"

Lita glances towards the floor and sees a blonde little girl that looks about nine years old. She smiles.

"Of course. Do you have a pen and paper?" Lita asks.

The little blonde hands Lita a pink notepad and a black pen. She's standing on her toes stretching her arms out as long as possible.

"So what's your name, kid?" Lita smirks at the cute girl.

"Amy." She jumps up and down excitedly.

"Really?" Lita kneels down to the little girls' height. "Guess what? My name is Amy too."

"Wow!" The little girl grins and giggles.

Lita hands the notepad and pen back to the little girl. She stands back up; while little Amy is staring at the notepad, and hugs Lita.

"Thank you, miss Amy!" Little Amy scurries off to her mother. "Mommy, mommy! I got Lita's autograph!"

Lita smiles and shakes her head. She continues walking down the narrow paths, and the Hardy Boyz catch her eyes. She runs to them. "Hey, guys!" Her smile turns into a frown once she sees the look on Matt's face. "What's the matter, hun..?"

Matt slams the trunk of his car. His hair drops over his baby-like face and he stares down at the car. His fingers start to curl, scratching the perfect black paint of the car. He looks back up at Lita, aggravated, throwing his hair back.

"Matt-"Lita asks, concerned.

Matt suddenly throws his hand in Lita's face, interrupting her. "Don't.. don't even say anything. It'll just piss me off even more."

Lita shows a face full of bewilderment.

"Matt, why are you so upset? I-I must have missed something here."

Matt walks over to the driver's side of his car. He opens the door and puts the keys into the ignition. Lita holds the door open.

"What about my ride?" Lita cries out.

"I don't want you to be in the same car as me. It's over between us!" Matt slams the door. "Jeff!"

Lita tries to speak, but no words will come out. Jeff walks up to her and pats her shoulder.

"It's alright. I'll call you later and tell you why he's so troubled. Just let him let out some steam." Jeff walks to his side of the car and opens the door. He takes one last look at Lita and nods. He gets into the car and shuts the door. The car speeds off leaving Lita a mouthful of dust.
