Author's Note: Here is the next chapter where battle lines are drawn and Phoenix's entire wrestling personality gets an overhaul. Thanks to my betareader NellyLove for all the help.

Disclaimer: Yeah I only own Phoenix, her sisters, and her adorable if pain in the butt nicknames.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~September 27th, 2010 Indianapolis, IN (Randy's POV)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was standing by the entrance. I was curious to see who Phoenix had been living with for the past couple of days. I watched as Dragon and Evan walked by holding hands and laughing like a happy couple. I caught Dragon glaring at me as she passed. After her came Chimera and still there was no Phoenix. I leaned up against the wall as I waited. John walked by me and he offered me a wave I didn't return because she hadn't stayed with him either. After the Hart Dynasty walked by I got nervous and finally I saw her red hair walk past me. She was once again dressed in slacks and a corset top but what killed me was that she was walking with Daniel. I clenched my jaw because that proved my point. I saw her look at me before she turned away from me and continued her conversation with Daniel. I stalked past them into my locker room. I paced the floor like a caged animal because I hadn't slept for the past few days and I'd bet a month's worth of pay that neither Michelle or Chris have slept either because I dumped all the kids on them. I stalked out of the locker room and straight into Phoenix's. I watched as she sat there on the phone with someone.

"Really? That's great Star, tell your sister I'm happy for her." Phoenix said. She looked up at me and the smile faded just a bit.

"Hey Star, I'll talk to you later but tell the boys I'll come see them because I want a word and before I forget call Jeff and tell him you're coming first." Phoenix said.

"Okay, love you, bye." She replied as she hung up.

"What can I do for you Mr. Orton?" She asked. It hurt a bit to hear her refer to me that way but I'd take it in stride.

"I was wondering if you had chosen a date for your title shot?" I asked.

"I'm sorry but I haven't chosen a date yet because I want to wait until after Hell in a Cell." She replied.

"Why?" I asked.

"I'm sure Mr. Farrelly will not give me a title shot if he wins." She answered. I nodded my head and noticed the small purple circles under her eyes which showed she hadn't slept much either.

"Is there anything else you need Mr. Orton?" She asked.

"No ma'am." I replied. I turned and had just put my hand on the doorknob when her voice called out.

"Good luck in your match tonight." She said. I nodded and walked out of the locker room. Those last words had hurt because she would normally be in my corner but she wouldn't be there tonight but she'd be close, I could tell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Phoenix's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat in my locker room for a solid two minutes, my eyes focused on the Daniel Bryan and John Morrison versus the Miz and Alex Riley match. I was shocked out of my reprieve when my phone went playing "No Chance." I quickly answered it.

"Hey Vince, what can I do for you?" I asked.

"Yes I do need that time off, I'm sorry for that." I said. I nodded my head.

"I like the idea of changing up my character a little because it's been too long." I said.

"I've already got an idea for my new entrance music." I said.

"His name is Robin Thicke and I was thinking of Mrs. Sexy." I replied.

"Yeah I'm weird that way how about Dante for a name?" I asked.

"Dante means enduring or obstinate." I answered.

"Great ring gear wise I was thinking about just going with dresses." I replied.

"Yeah okay good luck with that I need to go check on something." I said. I hung up and stood. I needed to go check on a couple of things. I actually needed to go make a check on all the guys. I also needed to make sure that anyone I faced in the next couple of weeks knew to keep their mouths shut about not hitting me in the stomach from Randy. I hated hiding things but since we weren't talking I didn't have a chance to tell him. I stopped to make sure Evan was okay and then I walked to David's locker room to talk to him and show him what actually happened between him and Tyson. After I had taken care of that I hurried to ringside to sit down and watch the Orton Jericho match.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Randy's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I came out and saw Phoenix sitting there with her headset. I paid no mind to her as I got into the ring across from Jericho. We started the match and it's a lot of back and forth action. When I got locked into the Walls of Jericho I heard Phoenix leave ringside and Phoenix cheering me on. When I got out and kicked Jericho out of the ring he managed to land on Phoenix. I looked over a second before I focused and pulled Jericho in and hit a hangman's DDT on him.

I barely managed to duck Sheamus and then I gave him the same thing I did to Chris. I was about to punt Sheamus but Chris hit me with the codebreaker. I went down and I barely ducked the steel chair Chris attempted to hit me with. I hit him with an RKO instead and when he's in the corner I could hear the crowd chanting 'punt' so I punted him. I smirked and turned my head to the left and took pleasure in Sheamus's face. He was scared of me even though he wouldn't admit it. I turned completely around and I took a look at Phoenix's face.

I'd like to say it hurt but honestly right now she wasn't in my good graces. She looked up at me and a smile alighted on her lips before she turned away from me completely and walked out of the arena. I was confused because that wasn't like her, she would normally be right there making sure Jericho was okay. I shrugged it off and got out of the ring myself. I walked to my locker room and when I get there I saw a note taped to my door. I recognized the handwriting and peeled it off the door. I opened it and saw three words that actually hurt, believe it or not.

"I Love you."

I walked into the room and sighed. I knew immediately that it was from Phoenix and as I opened my duffel bag and put my things in it I picked up the packet of papers. I'm taking the easy way out but I don't care, I won't stand for it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Daniel's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Phoenix and I were sitting in the car completely quiet.

"Hey Daniel, thank you for letting me stay but I need to leave. I'm going to see if my cousin will let me stay with him." Phoenix said.

"That's fine. I was curious on how long you'd stay, considering I'm the cause of all this." I replied.

"You're not the cause you're just part of the problem is all." Phoenix said. I was going to say something but the way she looked out the window told me that the case was closed.

"If you don't mind me asking, which cousin?" I asked.

"I'm hoping David." Phoenix said.

"If he says no?" I asked.

"I'll ask Natalya if she and Tyson mind." Phoenix replied. I nodded my head and concentrated on driving to the airport. We had to get back to my house so Phoenix could at least get everything sorted out at my house.
