SmackDown 1000…
Amanda hung up after a phone call and heard laughter… before seeing a familiar masked wrestler and teal and purple haired woman.
"It is so nice to see you again after so long." Yukie responded.
"I've missed you." Rey replied before they hugged and Amanda and Yukie hugged.
"Your ex is an ass!" Amanda responded quietly.
"Bald grouch is your ex, Yukie?" Rey asked as he and Amanda hugged.
"Yeah, you can say that." Yukie answered.
"Corbin also used to be my friend." Amanda replied.
"Yeah… before you've turned him into a pain in the ass." Yukie muttered the last part, while walking away.
"It's alright, Mandy. She'll calm down." Rey replied before he and Amanda hugged.
It was after a while that Amanda was walking around and heard Yukie and Edge.
"Yeah, after what happened to one of the US journalists. I'm not even going, but I'm not so sure about Evolution." Yukie explained.
"You really wanted that match against Mandy…" Edge replied.
"Yeah, just for once so I can show her that I'm not the same girl that she grew up with. But not I'm sure I can do that." Yukie responded.
"Look, it'll just have to wait til she's back in ring shape after the baby. You know motherhood means everything to Mandy." Edge replied.
"Yeah, everything to throw away." Yukie responded.
"Sit down, kid." Edge replied before they sat down. "What's going on? You seemed happy when Mandy announced her pregnancy." He responded.
"Yeah, but it ain't me anymore." Yukie replied.
"Yukie-" Edge replied before Yukie yelled out in anger.
"I hate this! I feel like I'm losing her because she couldn't keep her legs crossed!" Yukie shouted.
Amanda turned and walked away, not wanting to give Yukie the satisfaction of seeing her cry… she stopped and rested her hand on her growing baby bump as the baby kicked.
At 5 months along, she and Finn had recently announced it by Amanda posting an ultrasound picture on Twitter.
"Hey kid… yeah, I'm not exactly pleased either, I thought Yukie wanted to be an aunt. I guess not…" Amanda responded quietly before she sat down. "I honestly thought after she got a second chance at life that she'd grip onto everything in it… maybe Mommy's just overthinking and misconstruing things." She replied before she felt a hand on her right shoulder and saw Finn, who sat down and brushed her tears away. "How much of that did you hear?" She asked as he held her.
"Enough to know that both of you are hurt but she has no right lashing out at our baby." Finn replied.
"She survived surgery, a massive infection and she's not cleared to compete yet but she's back… why do I feel like I'm still being shoved away?" Amanda responded.
"Maybe she was never once happy… maybe something stop her from being more open out. Beside the illness she battled. There's probably something else she's hiding." Finn suggested.
"Probably… still doesn't make it right." Amanda responded as Finn stood up and picked her up into his arms before taking her to the locker room and putting her on the couch before covering her with a blanket.
"Try and get some rest, Darlin'. I'll take care of this." Finn repiled, before they kissed.
Amanda nodded and closed her eyes as Finn left, going to talk to Yukie…
Present time…
Finn found Yukie and she saw the serious look on his face.
"What did I do now?" Yukie asked.
"Made my wife cry, Yukie. If you've got something to say about Mandy, don't say it behind her back." Finn explained.
"Aw, fuck." Yukie muttered, realising Amanda had overheard her. "Look, I didn't mean to go that far. A lot is happening in my mind. First, I got Charlotte on my ass about ripping up her ring gear when I haven't. And Paige barking at me about spraying Shane's car when it clearly wasn't me, Finn." She explained.
"So you take that stress out on Mandy? She's pregnant, Yukie!" Finn responded.
"Yeah, like anyone can forget that." Yukie replied.
"You need to open up and be honest with her once you've both calmed down. I make myself clear?" Finn responded.
"You think I'm gonna stay calm for something I didn't mean to say? I'm dealing with charges that I didn't make. Someone is trying to frame me and I could be sent to fucking jail… look, from what I see now. I wish I would've died on that hospital bed. Ever since I was born, I've always had bad luck. And for what I see now. You and Mandy and others are a family. But not me. I love Mandy like a sister, but I don't count as family… now, if you excuse me, I have to deal with Washington Police about these bogus charges." Yukie explained, before leaving.
Finn walked back to the locker room and into it, seeing Amanda awake again and eating bread and butter pickles.
"I could hear the echo, why is Charlotte being a brat to Yukie and others?" Amanda asked.
"Somehow… Yukie is making up lies again. Charlotte claims that she saw Yukie walking into her locker room, and destroyed her ring clothes. And now, she told me that Shane's rental was spray painted as it had her name on it." Finn explained.
"That might've been Chihiro doing that, she's gets into these little fits at times. If the police are actually handling a case, I hope they take that into consideration." Amanda responded, Finn sitting down and pulling her into his arms.
"Are you sure about that? I mean, Yukie has done several bad things while in this business, but Chihiro? She's a sweet little girl." Finn repiled.
"Most of the time, yes. Chihiro was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder." Amanda responded.
"That would explain the hyper energy and her not staying still… and before you say it, I think Charlotte ripped up her own ring gear just to start trouble and not fight Becky." Finn explained.
"Charlotte's realising that despite being the 'good one' in the feud, fans aren't cheering her. Ric needs to get his daughter under control." Amanda replied.
Outside, Charlotte was livid as she knew they had figured that out and she left.
'That's it, I'm getting this company to turn me bad again! Mandy's right, the fans like Becky a lot better!' Charlotte thought.
She knew that she needed to control herself.
