Signal To Noise by Peter Gabriel played through Amanda's earbuds after she got dressed warmly and saw a text from her mom, Carol.
'Are you okay, kiddo?! Your dad and I were watching, that was brutal!'
'I'm okay, Mom… for the most part. I'm worried I hurt Yukie more than she's letting on but the doctor said that her injuries weren't as serious as we thought. Does Sumire know what happened?' Amanda responded.
'She does, she's talking to her.' Carol replied.
'Okay. Finn and I are catching the last flight of the night to Miami.' Amanda responded.
'Probably best to, I can tell you two care a lot about each other.' Carol replied.
Amanda blushed slightly… and closed out her Spotify app, putting her IPhone 6 and earbuds in her silver purse before Finn returned and the headed out to the parking lot, heading to the Nissan Altima.
As they were about to get into the vehicle, they heard Baron call out to them as he walked over.
"We agreed, no tricks. Now we're leaving." Finn responded after helping Amanda into the passenger side and buckling her in as her right arm was still hurting.
"If you drag her straight to hell, you're gonna pay." Baron warned.
"It's 2016, stop thinking like it's 1999 and The Ministry Of Darkness and The Brood are around!" Amanda replied, Baron turning to her.
"With you two being the Demon King and Mistress, I bet those two groups live in hell, instead of some kind of castle- Baron responded.
"Yeah, we get the point." Amanda replied. "Taker and Gangrel can still whip your ass, Phony Wolf!" She muttered.
"What'd you say to me? Don't let me get Yukie out here!" Baron questioned once more as he was turning furious.
"The Deadman and Gangrel can still whip your ass, Thomas! Don't make me call them!" Amanda responded, Baron backing away and walking away as Finn closed the passenger door and got in the driver's side, closing the door and buckling up before driving away from the arena.
"What the hell does Yukie see in him?" Finn questioned.
"I don't know and I don't want to know." Amanda responded as Finn lightly rubbed her left wrist.
Once the two were on the flight, Amanda closed her eyes… and Finn covered her with a blanket and kissed her on her forehead.
At the hotel, Yukie looked around for Finn and Amanda… and couldn't find them, finding Becky instead.
"Becky, you've seen your two friends?" Yukie asked.
"No, Finn said that they were catching the last flight out tonight to try to beat the traffic and media." Becky explained, which angered Yukie. "Oh don't give me that look, you started that brawling tonight and almost broke her arm and her back! I read that script and there was nothing about intentionally injuring her, you went off after that punch from her!" She responded, Yukie turning to her.
"I'm not the first person to lose my temper in that ring and I won't be the last, Mandy went off at me as well!" Yukie retorted.
"Because you were going crazy at her! If she did anything that hurt you before this, just admit it instead of torturing her, Shirabuki!" Becky yelled.
"She takes everything from me! And that includes Finn! Innocent friendship, my ass!" Yukie shouted.
"Whatever they're feeling for each other is real and strong! You just refuse to see that!" Becky responded before she headed up to her room, Yukie fighting the tears brimming in her eyes.
She headed up to hers and Baron's room… and tried to stay calm.
January 25th 2016, Marriott Miami Biscayne Bay Hotel…
Amanda opened her hazel eyes, sleepily reaching for her phone and seeing a text from Seth.
'What the hell went wrong last night?!'
'Miscommunication with the script, I think.' Amanda replied.
'Maybe they gave her a different script. Did you ask her, or whatever?' Seth responded.
'Before the match, I asked her if the scripts matched up and she said they did… right now, I don't think they did because I think someone on the creative team is playing backstage politics.' Amanda replied, confused as to why she was in one of Finn's shirts instead of her pajamas.
And then it flashed back to her.
"Here, these are easier. How's your arm feeling, Darlin'? And answer truthfully." Finn responded after buttoning up the shirt on Amanda.
"Feels like it was ripped off, then forced back on. I'm thinking that someone is playing backstage politics on me and Yukie and when I get my hands on Kevin Dunn, I'm gonna hurt him." Amanda replied as they stretched out under the covers.
"He doesn't like me being around you, does he?" Finn questioned.
"And I feel like he's punishing me by having Yukie be a Heel. Or he think it's still 2005 and okay to have me beaten up bad without my knowledge." Amanda responded as Finn lightly stroked her shoulder length hair.
"If it is him, we handle it together, Mandy." Finn replied before they fell asleep…
Amanda looked at a still sleeping Finn and then back at her phone to see another text from Seth.'
'Or maybe you've wronged her? Wasn't there something that you've did in the past and Yukie needed you for something?' Seth responded.
'She hasn't told me. I'll ask both of them separately.' Amanda replied as Finn opened his eyes and lightly massaged Amanda's shoulder… before getting a video call and answering it.
"Dean, it's 6;30 in the morning." Finn responded as he and Amanda saw Dean on the other end of the video call.
"And what are you two doing up this early? Trying to have some fun?" Dean questioned.
"Seth was texting me." Amanda explained.
"Damn. Alright, what room are you two in? I'll-" Dean responded.
"Actually, we left late last night and headed straight to Miami." Finn explained, startling Dean.
"You left without tell anyone, Mandy?" Dean questioned.
"We told Becky. The less people that knew, the better." Amanda responded.
"Less fighting that way…" Dean replied as Amanda and Finn heard a familiar song in the background.
"Who in the world is playing In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly this early over there?" Amanda questioned as Dean hit his fist against the wall.
"Aw, go fuck yourself in the ass! I'm already depressed enough!" Yukie retorted.
"Turn the music down, Yukie!" Dean responded.
"Fuck off!" Yukie retorted.
"I always think of The Simpsons episode Bart Sells His Soul when I hear that song." Finn replied.
"They had it right the way they sang it… Mandy, you alright?" Dean responded.
"Yeah, just wondering if Yukie blew up at anyone else last night." Amanda replied.
"Not to my knowledge, kiddo. She probably just headed back to the hotel room. But this room behind me isn't hers and Baron's." Dean explained.
"She might've crashed with someone else." Amanda responded.
At the American Airlines Arena, Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones played through Amanda's earbuds and she read the script… and Dean walked in, hearing Amanda singing softly.
"If I don't get some shelter… oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away…" Amanda sang as she reached for her red pen… and saw Dean. "Hey, you." She responded after closing out Spotify and putting her phone and earbuds away, Dean noticing that she was relaxed.
"Anything new happening with you? You've seem relaxed." Dean questioned.
"That song always calms me." Amanda responded, Dean chuckling.
"Yeah, sure… Finn had you smiling and laughing earlier." Dean replied.
"You can tell that just by looking at me?" Amanda asked.
"I always pay attention to you, kiddo. Whenever if you're happy or angry, I always do." Dean responded. "Hey, uh, have you seen Yukie lately? She looks different." He questioned.
"Not since last night. I better go see what's going on." Amanda replied before putting her phone in her shorts pocket… and Dean could tell that she was guarding her right arm.
"Second hallway in the Southern area of the building, Yukie was hiding away from the others as she had loud music playing through her red Beats Headphones, while eating chocolate and a bag of chips in the green screen room. " Dean explained before he and Amanda hugged and she left.
