"So, what's going on with you and that Jericho guy?" Ted asked, taking a sip of his mint coffee.
"That Jericho guy? I think he deserves a little more than that," Sunny said, rolling her eyes and sucking on the straw of her own drink.
"So there IS something going on, then!" Ted screeched. "Score one for the Tedster!"
"I'm going to carry on this conversation as if you did not just refer to yourself as 'The Tedster,'" Sunny said. "And for the record, there is nothing going on between Chris and I. He's like…He's like that gay guy from Mean Girls who just goes into the girl's bathroom all the time. Yeah, that's the best way to describe him."
"He's gay?" Ted asked, astounded.
"No, but he might as well be," Sunny shrugged. "I don't mean to bring this up, but you seem to be in a much better mood than earlier."
"Yeah, I guess I am. I don't know…You just seem to take my mind off of things."
"It's what I'm here for. Doesn't Cody help you out?"
"Nah," Ted said. "All he thinks about are video games."
"That's it?"
"That's it," Ted nodded. "Come on, let's blow this popsicle stand."
Sunny almost choked on the last bit of her coffee. She wanted so badly to twist his words into something dirty sounding, but she didn't think that was appropriate for a man who's wife had just been killed, and she was the one who did the killing.
"You're going to love me," Chris said as he and Sunny were reunited at the arena the next day for the ECW and SmackDown tapings that everyone was required to go to.
"I highly doubt that," Sunny said, her mind still on the previous night's rendezvous with Theodore Marvin DiBiase, Jr.
"The whore who is trying to creep on your man is sick!" Jericho exclaimed, getting way too excited about that.
"Maria has fallen ill? Why would I love you for that?"
"Because she's on her deathbed!"
"CHRISTOPHER IRVINE WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?"
"You'll make it, Maria," Melina sobbed, taking the hand of her friend.
"No…" Maria sighed.
She was surrounded by all the Divas as she could barely move. Every so often, her entire body would convulse and shake, at which point the Bella Twins would try to restrain her.
"Quit faking it," Beth grumbled.
"I'm dying…" Maria said weakly, her breaths getting more and more shallow as they went on.
Sunny left the room after seeing the tragic scene. So, maybe tragic wasn't exactly the word that she would have picked, but still. She found Chris leaning against a vending machine in the hallway.
"Why did you do it?" she asked.
"It only makes sense. She needs to go. And this time, you can pretend to be all sad and heartbroken and Ted can comfort you."
Sunny smiled. "Chris, has anyone ever told you that you are an evil genius?"
