_Present Day_
Dean: "Look, we are on a rare weekend off in Las Vegas, Nevada. You're girl just beat Finn Balor and won the Universal Championship. The past is in the past. She's forgiven us and forgot all about all that drama. She wants to move on and move forward with her career. That's why she called this her big Come Back."
Seth: "Yeah. You're right. She has forgiven and forgot all about all the drama. I think she's even forgiven her sisters for what they've done to her."
Finn: "That's not what that determined walk of hers earlier was saying at all, mate. She's a little pissed still. She basically said Roxy wasn't really supporting her when she was out there fighting me in the ring of fire."
Dean: "Why would she say that?"
Finn: "Well, from what I gather, Roxy and her have a rather checkered relationship. She feels like Roxy is fueling the rumors that are going around about me trying to steal Jess away from Seth and make her mine."
Seth: "Seriously? Why would Roxy be fueling those rumors? She's the last person on earth who needs to be talking about someone's relationship with someone on the roster."
Finn: "I don't know. It sounds like a bunch of shit that's just being thrown around to start a rival between the two of them. If Roxy and Maddie are like a family to her why throw around accusations?"
Dean: "To make sure her sisters aren't actually stabbing her in the back while lying to her face. It's a test to see if anyone cracks and when they do crack and the truth comes out, she'll write them off."
Finn: "I'll never understand why women feel like they need to test each other's loyalty like that. If she wants to know if they are starting rumors why not just say so?"
Seth: "Look how long it took Roxy to come clean about being Rubber Girl to both of them. Do you honestly think she'd come out and say "Yeah, I started the ball rolling so we could have some good publicity between us after that drama we had?" Nobody would say that out loud."
Meanwhile, Jessica and Maddie are leaving Maddie's office and run into Baily and Roxy.
Baily: "And where are you off to, Miss Universal Champion?"
Jessica adjusts the belt on her arm again making sure to show off the newly changed name plate with her name on it and her phoenix symbol on the side plates.
Jessica: "Oh, I don't know. I'm off to have a good night out on the town with my sisters of course and friends."
Baily: "Well, we could all use some fun and hugs of course."
Jessica: "Of course. I always want hugs."
Baily gives Jessica and Maddie both hugs and Jessica hugs Roxy.
Roxy: "Does this mean you're not pissed off at me?"
Jessica: "Yes. I'm over being pissed off at everyone and everything. Life is too short to be that petty. Besides, I feel I made my point. We need to go enjoy this rare weekend to ourselves."
Roxy: "Damn right we do. I am sorry I doubted you and Finn had a platonic relationship."
Jessica: "And I'm sorry I dismissed your feelings when you were trying to show genuine concern for my well- being after the ring of fire match."
Roxy: "Peace?"
Jessica: "Peace."
They shake hands and Jessica kisses the top of Roxy's head.
Roxy: "Now if I could just crack the mysterious case of "What's on Corbin's agenda" we may be making some actual progress here."
They head outside to meet up with Seth, Dean, Roman and Finn like old times.
Roman: "Hey, long time no see stranger."
Jessica: "Long time no see, old man."
She hugs him and he kisses her cheek.
Roman: "You look amazing."
Jessica: "Thank you. This is all thanks to Seth and Quad City Crossfit. He kicked my ass real good."
Seth: "I can't take all the credit, babe. It was all on you to get out of the bed and complete the work outs."
Dean felt awkward for the first time in his life. The six of them usually felt like natural friends when they were all together. But it was weird only having 5 of the six feel like home. At this point, he felt Finn was closer to him then Roxy.
Dean: "So, are we waiting on someone or are we going out as a happy little seven pack?"
Roxy: "It's eight. Baily is going out with us."
Baily: "Oh I wouldn't want to impose."
Roxy: "Nonsense. You're not imposing and besides Balor needs someone to keep him busy."
Finn starts laughing.
