Shelby Robertson walked into her Chicago apartment and dropped off her stack of mail on the nearby end table. She had just returned from a long day at work, and to top things off, the company had given its employees notice that in 2 weeks, they would all be out of a job. The company had discovered that it would be a lot cheaper and more profitable to move the business to Mexico. As soon as Shelby sat down on her comfortable sofa, her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Fancy!"

"Princess, is that you?"

"Of course silly, who else would it be?"

Stephanie McMahon and Shelby had been friends for what seemed like forever. Shortly before her 11th birthday, Shelby's family moved to Connecticut because of her father's job relocating. At first, Shelby was none the pleased with the family's decision to take her away from everything she had ever known in North Carolina. However, once Shelby entered Jr. High school and met Stephanie, she was glad she made the move. Otherwise she would have never met her best friend.

"What's up Stephanie?"

"Not much, I was going to call and see what was up with my best girlfriend in the entire world."

"Besides getting served notice that I am out of a job in 2 weeks, everything is just peachy keen. Thanks!"

"Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry. I know you loved that job. What happened?"

"I guess the company president wanted to learn how to say more than kiss my ass in Spanish."

"They're moving the entire company to Mexico? Gee!"

"Yea, tell me about it. So how are you?"

"I am doing better than you obviously, but checking up on you wasn't the entire reason I called. I was wondering when you would be able to come up and see your best friend whom has a birthday coming up in a few weeks."

"I remember Princess. You make sure I never forget."

"Since you don't have any commitments why don't you come up? Mom and Dad will be pleased to see you. Mom always said you were her second daughter anyways."

"I don't know Princess. I need to stay here and look for a job. Either that or at least another place to live cause if I don't find a job paying what I was making, I will not be able to keep my place."

"Come on Fancy. Take some time to enjoy life for a change. You never took a vacation from that place anyways unless they forced you to, and besides it may do you good and prove productive to come and see me."

"What are you talking about Princess?"

"Uh-uh, the only way you're gonna find out is if you get your butt up here."

"One condition and you've got it."

"You name it."

"Keep the Q.B.O.T.U. away from me. I don't feel like kicking her ass and arguing with your brother while I am on vacation."

"Oh I don't think you'll have to worry about her bothering you. She learned her lesson last time she messed with you."

"That she did princess that she did."

"So I will call you back in 2 weeks and let you know all the travel arrangements. You better not back out on me Fancy."

"Yes ma'am."
