A/N: Yeah, I can't stop. It's an addiction. Well, what can I say? Expect the drama, schmuff, twisted turns and torrid love affairs I've come to love to write and you've come to love to read. XD! Once more, I write for myself and the love of it. If you like it, that's an added bonus. If you don't…there's a big, green arrow in the upper left-hand corner of your screen that will take you away from this page. :P Story inspired by CenasNakedInMyBedWithMe. FP!

01. "Return"

--

Chris Jericho paced back and forth in the backstage catering area, glancing at his watch every couple of seconds. His heart was racing. His mind was out of control. Sweat beaded on his forehead and trickled down the side of the face because of his nervousness. He glanced at his watch again. Where the hell is Kennedy?

"Have I told you lately how much I love you?"

Jericho let out a huge sigh of relief as he shoved Ken Kennedy and took the dozen red roses from him, "Thanks man, I owe you one. But what the hell took you so long?"

Ken Kennedy shrugged, "Bunch of the divas saw me buying the roses and wanted to know who they were for. When I said you, they all flipped their lids so...expect some ugly rumors tomorrow."

Jericho rolled his eyes and took a seat at the table, followed by Kennedy. "I can't believe it's been a year." He shook his head, grinning as he gazed down at the flowers, and it was Kennedy's turn to roll his eyes, "It was so hard being away from her all the time. I spent as much time as I could with her, but not enough, you know? I wish I could've been with her every second during her recovery--I wanted to, but she pushed me to my career. Said she didn't want to hold me down, that she wouldn't recover quick enough unless she could see me on Raw every week."

Ken resisted the urge to gag, "Look man, you're my best friend, alright? And I...love you as much as a straight guy can love another straight guy without coming off as homosexual. But I don't know this girl. I've never met this girl. And yet, I am so sick of hearing about this girl! I mean, come on! How long can you gush about one person?"

Jericho shook his head, "Whatever. I don't expect you to understand..."

"Yeah, just to listen and nod my head, right?"

"Exactly! Maybe you'll understand when you meet her. She doesn't debut again until next week, but she'll be here tonight. Mel and Carlito are driving her from the airport."

Ken nodded, "Right. I forgot she's Mel's sister." He shivered, "I can't imagine a mini-Melony running around."

Jericho laughed, "You're just jealous cause she kicked your ass in the ring last week."

"Hey! That was a fluke! Alright? I wasn't expecting that match and the mic hit me in the head beforehand and I was disoriented."

"Riiight."

"Do you know how great it is watching my big sister win the Women's Championship on a big screen tv in my bedroom?" Autumn laughed from the backseat of the rental car, leaning forward to playfully punch Melony in the arm, "You don't know how bad I wish I could've been there."

"And you don't know how amazing it felt." Melony smiled back at her, "We've both worked so hard, and finally got everything we deserved."

"So you're saying I deserved a fractured vertebrae?"

Melony made a face, "No! I mean...you're back, you know? And now we can take what's ours, so to speak. I've got the belt. You've got Chris. Hell, maybe you'll take the belt from me pretty soon--but it's not likely."

"Alright, Orton." Autumn waved a hand in the air, "And that is so your new nickname."

From the drivers' seat, Carlito let out a loud groan, "Ugh! Can we please stop with the chick flick moments? You two are literally making me nauseous!" He shook his head, and Melony reached over to pinch his bicep, "Shut up, Cabana boy!"

Carlito stared at her with a look of warning, "Melony..."

Melony burst out laughing, and Autumn made a gagging noise from the backseat, "I don't want to know--please do not inform me!"

Mel and Carlito began one of their infamous "arguments", while Autumn leaned back in her seat to reflect. She was back. Coming back to the business her sister had introduced her to, the career she owed to her sister--the career she loved. The people she loved. The man she loved. After she'd injured her spine at WrestleMania she thought she'd never get to see the rest of her dreams come true, but thankfully, while the injury was bad, and required numerous surgeries, it was able to heal. It took a year, but it healed, and she was back. She'd missed out on so much, on so many opportunities. She'd missed her friends, her sister, her boyfriend--they'd all visited her and called her as much as possible, but she didn't get to see them as much as she liked. The past year had been a dark time for her, but she tried to make the best of it. She watched Raw and SmackDown every week and she reminded herself that she would be back. She reminded herself of all her accomplishments, and all the things she vowed to accomplish on her return. And here she was. While her "debut" wasn't technically until next week, just the thought of hanging out backstage excited her to no end.

Melony glanced back at her sister and shook her head at the dazed look on her face, before sneaking a glimpse at Carlito and then refocusing on the belt in her lap. She was glad to have her sister back in her and their friends' everyday life now. Things could finally get back to normal. Everything seemed to be going her way recently. She won the Women's Championship. Her relationship with Carlito was stronger than ever, they were in love more than ever. She'd climbed her way to the top with her bare hands, and she was loving every minute of it. She looked at Carlito again, who caught her glance this time and smiled at her, "What's going on in that devious little head of yours?"

She smiled back, shrugging, "Just thinking about how lucky I am."

He frowned playfully, "Cause you're the Women's Champ!"

She laughed softly, reaching over to place her hand on top of hers, "No. Because I have you."

They arrived at the arena, and Melony had to remind Autumn to take it easy and not go tackling people she hadn't seen in forever as soon as she walked through the door. Autumn rolled her eyes at the notion, but toned it down a bit--saying hi to a few of the Divas(the only few left that she actually knew, really) and promising to catch up with them later, and any of the wrestlers she ran into in the hallway she immediately hugged and again, promised to catch up. There were so many people to catch up with, she realized, but really all she cared about at the moment was seeing Chris again for the first time in a while. He'd called her at the airport and told her that he'd be in catering when she got there, and that he couldn't wait to see her. She smiled as she remembered the phone call, and Melony elbowed her in the ribs. "Ow! Damn, way to ruin my nostalgia."

"Pssh, that smile wasn't nostalgia, that was dirty thoughts of a certain blonde Canadian ass-clown." Mel grinned, "Am I right, or am I right?"

Autumn shook her head, hoping the blush that rose to her cheeks wasn't visible, "Oh, shut up. I know all about you and Carlito's little 'Cabana Boy' game--I can put two and two together."

"Yeah, only you end up with seven when you do."

Autumn laughed, and Melony lead her down the hallways of the arena and to the catering area, which was busy as it always was before and during a live show. Autumn rushed in, pushing past and shoving people out of the way in search of Jericho, but she couldn't see him anywhere. Melony walked up beside her, "He probably got called out for his match. Traffic did slow us down a little."

Autumn nodded, but still felt a little disappointed. All she wanted was to see Jericho first thing. Why couldn't they have gotten there earlier?

"Yo, Mel!"

Melony spun around, and Autumn was still in a daze when she poked her, "Autumn, there's a blonde dude holding roses asking for you."

"What?" Autumn whirled around, expecting Chris, and finding Ken Kennedy, holding a dozen red roses and an apologetic look, "Whoa, wait a minute..."

Ken held up a hand, "I take it you're the infamously beautiful and perfect Autumn?"

Her eyes widened, "Um...yes?"

He thrust the roses towards her, "Chris said sorry, he had to get out to his match but he'll see you after and for me to give you these."

"How heartfelt, the two of you." She remarked sarcastically, taking the roses from him and smiling, "Well, it's the thought that counts. I take it you're the sarcastic, arrogant blonde that's kept Jericho sane while I've been gone?"

"The one and only." Ken smiled, "And nice to know I'm so revered by my supposed best friend when I'm not around."

"Well, that's Chris for you." She shook her head, "It's nice to finally meet you, Ken. Chris has told me so much about you, but other than that, all I know is Mr. Kennedy...Kennedy. Which cracks me up every time, by the way."

He nodded, opening his mouth to speak when a stagehand ran up to remind him that his match was next. He shrugged, said his goodbyes to Melony and Autumn, and went to get ready.

"Now, I know that ain't the finest woman to ever grace the WWE roster that just walked into my path, is it?"

The voice echoed in her ear, and Melony whirled around, eyes wide and mouth open, "Tavious! Oh my God!"

Laughing, Montel Vontavious Porter walked over to her and pulled her into a tight embrace, "Aw girl, it's good to see you!"

"You too!" She pulled away, looking up at him, "What are you doing here, though? Aren't you still on SmackDown?"

He shrugged, "Yeah, but I'm 'invading' Raw so to speak, and if all goes well this week I might be back next week, too."

"Great!" She smiled up at him, "So you're finally getting the push you deserve, huh?"

"Hey, well, I am MVP, aren't I?" He grinned, "What are you doing after the show? I feel like it's been forever since we've talked."

"Probably going out with Carlito and a few others. Nothing big, but I'll find you if you want. I've missed you like crazy."

"Who wouldn't?" He joked, "No, find me, ok? I really wanna talk to you, Mel."

She nodded, "Ok, I will. But I gotta go now, ok? My match is next."

They said their goodbyes, and Melony gripped her belt tightly as it hung over her shoulder and made her way down the hall. She'd known MVP since before he'd come to the WWE, and she considered him a close friend. But something in his eyes sparked her curiosity when he said he really needed to talk to her. She spent a brief stint over on SmackDown for a while, and their friendship grew stronger, but some things happened that had been best left in the dark. She was away from Carlito, it was right after Autumn's first surgery, and MVP was the only one there for her. But that was the past, and things had smoothed over since. She had the love of her life back, she had her belt, she had everything in the world she could ever want. She shook her head, shrugging off any notions she'd had. Maybe she should just be grateful that she also had her closest friend back in her life, as well.
