WWE SmackDown taping, 3/5/14, scheduled to air 3/7/14…

"Throw it in the middle or throw it at me but throw it." Amanda said like she was scripted to, her and Seth's fists touching… Roman put his next to Seth's, Dean's to Roman's and all four looked at the camera.

But in the backstage area, Amanda let the facade drop and leaned against a crate, Seth rubbing his hands up and down her back and shoulders to try to take the aches away before sitting down and pulling her into his lap as Stephanie and Hunter stopped nearby.

Exchanging concerned glances, they walked over and Stephanie rested her hand on Amanda's forehead.

"Hunter, go find the Motrin we keep with us." Stephanie said quietly, Hunter kissing Amanda on her forehead before leaving.

"She's been feeling sluggish all day, Steph… we're worried." Seth said, Amanda resting her head on Seth's shoulder.

"Okay, we're gonna improvise things then. When Randy leaves the ring, Mandy, you smack him and cause a DQ, okay?" Stephanie responded before Hunter returned to them, Amanda nodding.

Hunter checked Amanda's temperature, a reading of 100.1° appearing before she took the Motrin.

The match was up and Amanda did as Stephanie instructed, the ref calling for the bell… but Amanda fell to a knee and Seth picked her up into his arms.

"Michael, something ain't right. Mandy ain't like her usual self." Bradshaw said, concerned.

"You're right, I hope whatever it is that she'll be okay." Michael said.

Marriott Hotel, Seth's perspective…

"Fever's gone, that's a good thing." I say as I help Mandy into the bed and pull the covers over her once she had gotten ready for sleep, the faint scent of Ivory soap on her skin… but she's still so damn tired.

"Yeah…" Mandy said quietly, nuzzling her head into my right shoulder as I pulled her into my arms.

It isn't long before she falls into peaceful sleep… and after a while, so do I.

But it's around four in the morning that I notice that Mandy's not next to me and see the bathroom light on.

"Mandy, are you alright?" I ask after standing up and reaching the area… and immediately drop to her, turning her onto her side to try to stop the violent seizing.

Amanda's perspective, a few seconds earlier…

I feel… I don't feel right.

I manage to untangle myself from Seth and sit up, swinging my legs over the side and pull myself up before standing… it's a bit of a stumble, I almost feel like I'm sleepwalking.

I open the restroom door and flip the light on, shaking, my body feeling horribly warm… the last thing I hear is Seth asking if I'm okay before everything leaves me.

Roman's perspective…

"Roman, Dean, call 911!" We hear, waking up immediately and see it… oh sweet mercy, no!

I grab the phone and dial 911 and Dean runs over to them, Seth keeping Mandy's mouth open and Dean helping keep her on her side as I explain what's unfolding.

Time moves by so slowly… in the hospital, everyone's waiting and pacing.

"How could you not notice the signs of a fucking seizure?!" Batista demanded, me about to yell at him when a nurse walked over to us.

She explained everything… the two more seizures that happened in the ER, Mandy's heart stopping… febrile seizures are more common in children, not adults. That's what worries me, she could have some kind of infection.

Dean's perspective…

Damn it… damn it, damn it, damn it!

Our Shield sister nearly died and we didn't even think it was that severe!

One at a time, we all walk in to see her, John sitting by her left side and me by her right as she was still out from the meds.

But her fever had retreated last night… we had thought so, at least.

"She's been through so much in life…" John said quietly, him having been crying... all of us have.

Mandy really has… and we almost lost her.

Amanda's perspective, 3 hours later…

What... the hell? What... happened to me?

Slowly, I open my eyes… it's all blurry but I can see John on the phone, most likely with Mom and Dad.

"You scared us half to death…"

I slowly turn my head to the side, rubbing my face and seeing familiar black and blonde hair.

"So much for okay, huh?" I say quietly as Seth and I hug and him lightly kissing both sides of my face.

I nearly died… and I don't want it happening again…

Present time…

She had to be out there and she knew it… Miz, Bo and Curtis saw the small bluish black haired diva run to ringside and into the ring.

Without any warning, Amanda hit Bo and Curtis with the kendo stick before she crouched down to Roman and helped him sit up.

Something in Mike's mind snapped… he got into the ring and kicked Amanda in the back and then in her chest before snatching her up by her hair.

He was still on his high and adrenaline he was smiling from ear to ear, he grabbed Amanda by her bruised throat and said, "The Shield is gone, you are nothing! Don't go crying to anyone when Balor kicks you to the curb too!" He shouted in her face.

But then he was ambushed by Finn and got trapped in the 1916 DDT before Finn turned to Amanda and cradled her close to him as he picked her up in his arms.

When they were out of the ring, they reached the backstage area… and found that the members of the Bullet Club had gotten into the building.

"What we did was just for show, he crossed a fucking line out there!" Cody said.

They knew he was right… but what Amanda couldn't wrap her mind around was that Mike had shown no problems with her and Finn.

She was really starting to wonder if she knew Mike Mizanin at all.
