This is a bit of a filler chapter, character building and all that. :3

Maggie Hager was a simple girl. All she needed was her friends, her family, the ability to wrestle and her favourite stuffed sea turtle (Reginald) in order to be happy. Dr. Phil didn't hurt too badly either... and she wouldn't mind having an unlimited collection of Brad Pitt movies. Okay, so maybe there was a few of the smaller pleasures in life that she loved, but wasn't that the case with everyone? She could easily substitute those things with the ones she just couldn't live without. It didn't really hurt that her friends were just as good looking as her beloved Brad and just as great therapists as Philly. She could get over the loss with their help, eventually. They were just so great like that.

It was no secret that her friends meant the world to her and more. That much was evident by the way that she made spontaneous purchases when reminded of them, the way that she often wrote them random letters about how she wanted to open a marine park one day or how much she loved making figures out of Blu-Tac in colourful gel pens when she was supposed to be in essential meetings or some crucial family gathering, the way that she would bake a cake (or two... just in case) at even the mention of a special occasion. It was no wonder she had made so many friends in her short tenure so far in the WWE.

It was also evident by the amount of time she spent visiting her friends that she missed from the other brands of the company. Being traded from ECW to Raw meant leaving many of her friends. Even her Smackdown buddies that she only really knew from backstage.

As usual when the brands all filmed in the same town Maggie decided to stay a few extra days for the Tuesday's TV taping in order to spend some much needed quality time with her people, accompanied by her brother and travel partner Jake, of course... While many of the other wrestlers were taking a day to recover from the previous night's show, Maggie had so many important things to attend to on her agenda.

Being greeted happily by the backstage crew each time she made a visit only helped to make the place instantly feel like she had come back home once more. The familiar faces of Raw were replaced with the even more recognisable faces of her other good friends. Whether it was an upgrade or not, Maggie certainly wasn't anywhere close to complaining. On the contrary, she loved to mix it up. Even if it was only for one night at a time.

A bag of sour jelly snakes in hand, she navigated her way through the many corridors of the arena, humming happily to herself. She was quite content just to explore the place alone, because in her mind that was all she was doing. She wasn't lost... no, not at all. She was just exploring. She had been for half an hour. Honestly, she didn't remember the place being so complicated the night before. That was possibly because she didn't wander into any direction that she saw fit to in search of a bathroom. Maggie wasn't so good with directions.

As if on cue she saw two familiar silhouettes up ahead and an instant feeling of relief washed over her. So maybe it wasn't as much like one of those predictable thriller movies as she had been thinking. She could recognise that cape anywhere.

"Y2Juicy! Heeelms!" She called, bouncing down the corridor with incredible zest.

The two turned from their conversation, and the grin that automatically jumped to each of their faces only further ignited that warm feeling of being at home with family. She felt like glowing.

Standing on her tip-toes once she had approached, Maggie threw an arm around each of their shoulders.

"How are my two favourite boysies?"

Chris's face was lit up, as always. His features were animated as he, too, wrapped an arm around her shoulder and kissed her cheek in greeting.

"Well I'm not sure about Shane, but I feel better now that you're here."

"Aw, I missed you too, Chris! And you, Shaney! I love you both. I don't know how I'm able to survive without you."

"Girlie, I think we're the ones having trouble without you." Shane told, his arm around her waist. "You and your baking and your pretty face."

Just as Chris has kissed her cheek Maggie leant to kiss the Hurricane's. "You're such a sweetie, Helmsey."

"So they're treating you good up on the A-show?" Maggie leant her head on Chris's shoulder and shrugged. It wasn't really something she'd taken notice of during her time at Raw. People were... well they were people.

"Yeah, it's great. I made a whole lot of new friends, but between you and me I haven't made any of them cupcakes yet, except Cody and Jake and Mike. I wouldn't have made Cody any but have you met him? He's the greatest person ever, and well, I couldn't help but make Mike some because he was going to spill my secret otherwise and I'd be baking cakes like crazy. You guys are the only people I ever want to make special turtle cakes for."

"Well we feel privileged, love."

"Oh shush, I'm not that special. So... where's my buddy K.K.?"

"...K.K.? Mags, I don't think I know a K.K."

"You know, Mr. Captain Charisma."

The two men looked at one another, their eyebrows raised and heads tilted in both confusion and wonder. Shane decided to be the one to break the silence.

"Uh, sweetheart, neither of those words starts with a 'k,'"

Maggie looked at him with the same blank expression they had given her.

"But... He... But."

"It's okay, love. We all have those moments." Chris patted her back reassuringly, as though she were coming to terms with some great loss. "Come on, we'll help you find him."

"You don't need to do that! I'm sure you two are extra busy tonight. I'll just use my exceptionally awesome tracking abilities to find him."

"Tracking abilities?"

"I'm like a sniffer dog. You guys know that I have an excellent sense of direction."

"Aside from the fact that you got me lost in a costume store last year, and when we went on that massive road trip, Maggie why would that be necessary when I already know that he's in catering?"

Maggie scrunched up her nose. He could have told her that in the first place. It wasn't that she was itching to see the ECW champion once again, but, well, she was. Jay Reso was the man who had trained with her and taught her everything that he could until she got to the point that she was at in the business. He was also the person that she'd always felt closest to. She didn't know whether he was some kind of a substitute for Jake when he wasn't around or just a really good friend to her from the get-go, but she missed Jay even more than she had missed Chris and Shane. She couldn't hide the fact that she was itching to see him for very long at all.

"Well come on then! Come on! I won't hesitate to drag you."

"Enthusiastic, much?" Was Shane's reply, but Maggie was already half way down the corridor and showed no sign of slowing down at all.

"Don't make me ask again!"

It was barely minutes later and they had arrived at the catering room. Maggie spent no time in trying to pull the doors open, before realising that it was a push door, and bursting into the room, her two friends at her heels. Immediately she began searching around the room for Jay. She was interrupted from her goal by squealing Divas and many people greeting her back to the show, if only for one night. Maggie had never been someone who could turn another person away, so she stayed to chat idly to her friends and co-workers until they had to leave, but there was something on her mind the whole time. When it got to the point where she was afraid that he'd have left already Maggie decided to be a little more proactive in her search.

"Hey Matt, I'm sorry but I need to find my buddy Jay. Do you know where he is?" She interrupted the elder and less troubled Hardy from telling some story about the previous episode of The Hardy Show that he had uploaded online. Truthfully she'd never watched the thing and had no idea what he was talking about.

"No problem, Maggie. I think he's... Oh, he's over there."

Following the direction that Matts finger indicated, Maggie was overjoyed to see her friend sitting at a table by himself (okay, that part wasn't so joyous, in fact it broke her heart a little) texting someone furiously.

Instead of her usual exclaimed greeting Maggie approached the plastic picnic table without a word. A large smile atop her face, she sat across from him and observed as he continued texting, concentrating too hard to notice her presence.

It was only when she broke out singing 'Mmmbop' that his head snapped up and his face immediately broke out in a grin.

"Mags! You- What are you doing here?!"

"Surprise!" She sang, opening her arms. "I wanted to make a visit to see all you guys and it doesn't hurt that it's your birthday soon and I'm not sure about either of our schedules then so I wanted to see you now just in case I don't get to see you then and I'm sorry if you're busy and I won't bother you if you are, I'll go hang out with Chris, but I bought you a cupcake. I had to save it from Jake for you 'cause he was all 'I'm your brother, you should give me stuff,' and I was all 'But you're no Jay!' and I had to sneak it away from him but I wanted to and-"

"Hey, calm down. I'm not busy at all. I was just texting Randy actually... about you. But a cupcake? That sounds so perfect right now. I'm glad you're here, Mags."

Maggie quickly pulled a Tupperware container out of her bag and passed it to him, the grin still not having been wiped from her features.

"I'm glad I'm here, too. Raw's nice, but I miss you guys here. When's the draft happening, again?"

Jay laughed lightly and opened up the container. Inside were two cupcakes, one her signature 'turtle-cake' with green icing and edible decorations, while the other had the icing face of a lion that held surprising resemblance to Jay and his yellow-blonde hair and matching fake tan.

"Oh wow, Mags, they're amazing-like always."

"Thanks," She smiled even more brightly. "Jake was watching a TV special on that Christian the lion story and it just seemed so perfect that I couldn't help myself. And what's this about texting Randy about me?"

"Well I can't lie, the guy is seriously crazy about you. He was telling me to feel fortunate that you're here with me for the night because he wishes you were there with him."

"Really?"

"No. He actually said that it's suspiciously quiet without you there, but that's what he wanted to say and I know that's what he's been thinking."

Maggie sighed, looking to her lap.

"Everyone seems to think that Randy and I are in love and are going to end up with a million pretty babies, but why would he want someone like me? Especially when there are people like Maryse around to-"

"Hey!' Jay stopped her, and moved to sit beside her on the bench. "As lovely as Maryse is, you're ten times as amazing and gorgeous as she is; don't doubt that for a second. Maggie you're special. Everyone can see that."

"You think so?"

"Of course I do! Remember what you said when we first met?"

"'Hi, my name's Maggie Hager'?"

"...After that."

"'I'm your number one Peep'?"

"Mhmm. Well, I'm your number one fan, Mags."

She couldn't help but throw her arms around him at his words. Really, she couldn't.

"What did I do to deserve an amazingly amazing friend like you, Jay? It must have been good."

"Tell me about it."

"Well now that we've had our little sentimental moment you can tell me why you're sitting here all alone and whether or not I need to bust somebody's ass for you."

Reviews are lovely (:
