The camera's rolled while showing a video montage of Trish and Lita's match that was aired on Smackdown as Lita was declared victorious. It skipped to Trish spearing Lita to the mat and the two fighting before Jeff and Matt splitting them up. It showed the Hardys get the victory over The Radicalz then showed the girls carry on the fight in the dressing room.

"Welcome to Raw folks… I'm Jim Ross being accompanied by Paul Hayman and what an episode of Smackdown we witnessed last week Paul"

"J.R it was like a dream come true… Lita and Trish couldn't take their hands off each other they were like wild animals. I mean personally I could've watch those girls fight all night and I know it would've made a lot of men around the world very happy."

"Well obviously that didn't happen Paul as Lita's boyfriend Matt and Matt's brother Jeff who in recent weeks has been growing quite friendly with Trish confirming at WWE New York last Monday night on Raw that the two did in fact have a friendship intervened with the girls fighting not just once but twice. Trish has been involved in some controversy in recent weeks and it seems that maybe Lita and Trish who have always publicly been in-ring rivals have more than just an in-ring feud." Jim Ross explained. "Do you think it has anything to do with Trish's new-found friendship with Jeff?"

"You can call it friendship if you like JR… But we all know it's more than that, you know it, I know it and the whole world knows it… I wonder if Vince McMahon knows it!" Paul chuckled as he continued to commentate and express his views on the The Hardys, Lita and Trish situation. "Now honestly in my opinion I think Jeff and Trish are a thing and Lita doesn't like it with the whole TrishGate situation in recent weeks…"

"Well whatever the reason Paul tonight we will see Jeff Hardy and Trish Stratus team up against his teammates Matt Hardy and Lita. Will Team Xtreme be able to survive the night? Stay tuned to find out and also coming up tonight-"

Matt, Jeff and Lita sit in their locking room watching the beginning of the show. Lita shakes her head. "Did you ask for the match or was that your little girlfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend." Jeff rolls his eyes at his brother's girlfriend attitude. "And either of us - Mr McMahon made the match actually."

"Well don't you find that a bit strange Jeff?" Lita irritated raises her voice slightly to Jeff.

"Lita-" Matt whispers to her.

The redhead interrupts Matt before he can say anything else. Lita being very dramatic stamps her foot on the ground while pointing her finger in Matt's face. "No… don't you start… I've had it up to here with that blonde slut. There's a reason she was having an affair with Mr McMahon and it says a lot about her character I never liked her and I never will and I don't trust her intentions with us as a team or the intentions with you Jeff… so you can hate me all you want but I'm trying to look out for you!" Lita began to rant before abandoning their dressing room.

Matt looks at Jeff who wouldn't make eye contact with neither of his teammates. His views on his new found friend evidently unshakable as Matt shakes his head and runs after his girlfriend.

As Jeff sits there his body tense and his face portraying nothing except a hassled mind. It was clear that his friendship with Trish was becoming more trouble for him but he couldn't help but feel protective over her. He worried about her - not sure himself why he bothered him so much. Everybody had an opinion on Trish and even if she had gotten herself in this mess he couldn't help but see her for who she really was under the fake smile and false confidence; he saw how lost she was. He wanted to save her from her pain and suffering and embarrassment, he wanted to prove to her somebody genuinely cared about her wellbeing and about her emotions. He wanted to restore her faith in people; her faith in herself.

A knock on the door interrupted his thought process and the blonde beauty with a heart full of sorrow sheepishly made her way into the locker room. He looks at his friend who seemed to be in a better frame of mind than Monday. "I just wanted to catch up with you before our match and to apologize for the other night."

"You don't have to apologize…" Jeff smiled softly at the blonde. His southern soothing her nerves about the conversation. She smiled shyly as she sat down opposite her tag team partner for the night.

"Yeah I do… And I want to let you know that you've been so good to me in recent weeks. You really don't understand how much it means to me even though I have quite a funny way of showing it." Trish admitted nervously playing with a strand of her golden mid-length hair. "I wanted to apologize to Lita as well… I know we've never been the best of friends but the way I was acting last week…"

"I don't think now is the right time Trish but I'll tell her when I see her." Jeff reassured Trish with a warm smile.

While their eyes locked into place, Trish could feel the butterflies in her stomach. There was silence for quite a few seconds as Trish began to get lost in his beautiful, gracious eyes. Noticing for the first time how well structured Jeff's face was. Looking past the purple and blue hair that was rolled into a bun at the back of his head with his purple bandanna at the top of his forehead, she examined his well shaped stubble that showed the his sharp jawline. She realized not only is the man beautiful on the inside but he was just as beautiful on the outside. How could she only just realize how attractive he was? She knew he was popular with female fans and for the first time she actually understood why.

"Are you okay Trish?" Jeff spoke interrupting the silence between the two 'friends' and snapping her back into reality.

"Yeah… sorry I zoned out a bit… I'm sorry. I should probably go." Trish nervously replied. She was shocked how she had never noticed him before.

"Stay… we have a match to prepare for after all…" Jeff smirked. "I wanted to talk to you about what happened last week with Vince."

The smile on Trish's face soon fade when the flashbacks began to set in. What was she thinking? How could she say she loved that man when he made go down on her knees like she was a dog - why would she want to be with him? Why would she convince herself that he wasn't a bad person when it was clear that he was? Why would she try so hard to make excuses for him? A sigh escaped her glossy, plump lips and Jeff noticed the change in the blonde's mannerisms.

"What happened Trish?" Jeff's stern southern voice appeared once again as he could feel himself getting angry at the thought of what that heartless vulture did to her.

Trish was taken back by the tone of Jeff's voice - he seemed quite angry. "I don't want to go in to too much detail Hardy… He was just mad that I've been spending time with you and made me apologize."

Jeff could feel the anger increasing in him while Trish looked down obviously holding back certain details as an attempt to block out what really happened to her. "What did that son of a bitch do to you?"

"Don't say that you never know who's around…" Trish jumped up cautiously afraid somebody might hear him but also slightly flattered that Jeff was so concerned about her.

"I don't care Trish I know that you're holding back something… Did he fucking hit you?" Jeff was obviously getting more annoyed at the thought of what could've happened while Trish was in the grips of that vile excuse of a man. "Tell me he didn't lay his fucking hands on you!"

"No… no… no!" Trish insisted putting her hand on Jeff's well-toned and tattooed arm. Her touch immediately calming down the charismatic enigma who she had never seen so riled up. "He didn't touch me, he's never hit me I swear."

Jeff let out a sigh of relief as subconsciously the two moved barely apart from each other. He held her face in his hand as she attempted not to make eye contact, her moved her face to look him in the eyes. "So just tell me happened Trish…" His voice whispered softly to her.

They continued to make eye contact. As Trish was about to speak - the two were interrupted by Matt who raised an eyebrow at how close they looked. If you walked in on the scene you would think something had definitely escalated between them, their bodies were practically touching as Jeff still had Trish's face cupped between his hands, their lips millimeters apart. The two 'friends' quickly moved away from each other.

"What the fuck is going on here?… Am I interrupting something?" Matt glared at Jeff with a disapproving look in his eyes.

"No I was just going to get my make-up touched up… I'll come find you before the match." Trish flashes the brothers a sheepish smile, Matt scowls as the blonde walks away.

"Just friends huh? What the fuck was that Jeff?" Matt freaked at the sight of them that close. It was becoming more and more blatant that Jeff was developing interest in the blonde. Whether his brother would admit it or not - he had an infatuation with the blonde.

"What're you talking about?" Jeff rolling his eyes once again at Matt - if he rolled his eyes anymore they may actually.

"I never took you as a sloppy seconds kind of guy..." Matt jeered, knowing exactly what to say to push Jeff's buttons.

"Fuck you Matt…" Jeff spat at his brother. "If you wanna listen to rumors there's quite a few rumors about your girlfriend knocking about from when she was training in Mexico and wasn't she the object of another man's desires when you got with her… let's talk about your girl if you want to talk about reputations"

"What did you say?" Matt defensively stepped towards Jeff. "Don't speak about my girlfriend like that you piece of shit!"

"Or what?" Jeff smirked, knowing he struck a nerve. Jeff loved Lita like a sister and he didn't think bad about her for one second but if Matt wanted to play this game, Jeff would happily oblige. Matt goes to punch Jeff who manages to duck in time and Matt ends up punching a locker instead. Jeff laughs at his brother seeming like he was calm and ready. As Matt looked at his knuckled being too preoccupied to carry on the discussion, Jeff made a swift exit. "I'll see you in the ring big brother."

Lita appears in the dressing room shortly after Jeff escapes the situation between himself and his older brother. Lita concerned as her boyfriend puts ice on his knuckle. "What happened?"

Matt spitefully whispered back to his girlfriend. "They're going down tonight!"

Lita immediately caught up on the situation from the one sentence her boyfriend shared with her. The redhead hated how the boys were acting towards each other recently and it was completely out of character for both of them - they were normally one unit. Even though the two were brothers they always had each others backs and were more like best friends, they were inseparable; Trish Stratus was the reason they were arguing. The reason why Team Xtreme were dangling by a thread. The reason why Jeff and Matt were both acting completely out a character. How could she be supportive of Jeff when she could see the damage that Trish was inflicting on his life maybe it was intentionally maybe she didn't realise but either way the fact was Trish Stratus was reconfirming what Lita already knew - she was trouble.

A sigh released from Lita as she sat down on her boyfriends lap, taking the ice pack of Matt's hand while noticing he got ice on his knuckles before any serious swelling could occur. "Did you punch him?"

Matt sulkingly replied. "No I missed."

Lita couldn't help but giggle which didn't help Matt's pride. Jeff was quick with fast reflexes that was his advantage over the bigger wrestlers in the WWE. He was fast as lighting and light on his feet which also helped with his high flying techniques. "This is all Trish's fault…"

"No Amy…" Matt was obviously serious in his words as he used his girlfriends real name. It was always a sign that Matt was saying his words with a genuine significance. "I don't even think it's Trish. It's Jeff.. He's the issues, he's got puppy dog eyes all over for that skank. He's let her get in to his head so you know what fuck him and fuck her and we're going to fuck them up.

Jeff and Trish stood behind stage ready to walk down the ramp together. Jeff looked at Trish who seemed quite nervous as they waited for their cue to go erupt into the crowd. "You okay?"

Trish looked up to Jeff as she placed an uneasy smile on her lips. "This is wrong… you shouldn't be fighting your teammates over me…"

Jeff chuckled. "It's not over you…" Trish raised an eyebrow at Jeff as in to say 'really?' Jeff chuckled once more. "Well maybe it is but they should be more supportive of our friendship, you're my friend Trish and friends look out for each other..."

Trish couldn't help but smile at Jeff - he seemed to constantly make her smile at the moment. He was so sweet and caring and she had never really met a man like him, hell she never had a friend like him. Trish had always been surrounded by pretentious people and maybe it had rubbed off on her, she couldn't remember the last time she had a genuine friendship.

".. Plus we're in Canada… so if you don't win this match you're a fucking failure to your fellow canadians." Jeff joked while nudging her on the hip.

"Fuck you." She laughed. "Talk about putting on the pressure."

Suddenly Jeff's music began to blast through the arena. "Making their way to the ring. The team off Jeff Hardy and Trish Stratus." Lillian Garcia announces to the arena in Calgary, Alberta. Trish eyes up Jeff while he does his little entrance dance overwhelmed by the cheers that come from the fans. While she's distracted Lita comes crashing behind her down the ramp evidently getting revenge for Trish's ambush last week.

Jeff notices and tries to get Lita off of Trish when Matt intercepts and the two brothers begin to fight down the ramp. Matt getting the better of Jeff throws his little brother in the ring while Lita has Trish dropped on the floor. The bell rings signalling the start of the match and Jeff and Matt continue to wrestle in the ring. The fight between two brothers and their two women is chaotic. While Trish is recovering on the side, Matt and Lita double team Jeff. Trish finally picks herself up noticing that Lita was setting Jeff up for the Hurricanrana. Trish pushes Lita of the top rope and she lands on top of the railing in front of the crowd before dropping on to the floor as she lies there holding her hip in pain. The referee worried about the way Lita landed goes to check up on her.

As Matt and Jeff are left in the ring on their own, an intruder runs from the crowd. Trish is shocked as the intruder super kicks not just Jeff but Matt as well - the crowd go crazy. Was this part of Vince's plan? To humiliate the Hardys and Trish.

With both Hardys on the ground and Lita still on the outside of the ring. Trish pulls the referee in the ring and covers the oldest Hardy. "1… 2… 3…"

They won.

Trish goes to Jeff who's still lay down as she assists him up in the ring. Jeff still disoriented and unsure what happened. Lita rushes to the ring still sore from the fall she had from the top rope. Jeff leaving Trish's side to offer a hand out to Matt to help him up. Matt looks at his brother who obviously wants to end this mini feud and reluctantly Matt took his hand as his younger brother helps him up. Trish approaches Team Xtreme placing herself next to the charismatic enigma witnessing the two brother make amends together. Trish following Jeff's example offers a hand out to Lita as a peace treaty between the two enemies.

Lita looks at Trish's hand then at Jeff who gives her a nod as if to say 'please shake her hand' and as reluctantly as her boyfriend was to take his brothers hand, Lita to her better judgement shakes the blonde's hand. "For Jeff… and only Jeff." Lita whispers in Trish's ear as the two release each others hands and the four of them walk down the ramp together.

As they make their way backstage Vince is waiting and the tension between himself and Jeff Hardy is evident. "Trish I'd like to talk to you if you could come to my office."

Trish looks at Jeff who is clearly riled at the cheek of the WWE owner. Flashing him an apologetic look she nods her head in agreement to Vince leaving Team Xtreme on their own.

"You still think you can trust her?" Lita scoffs watching Trish following Mr McMahon to his office.

"Yeah…" Jeff replies not even hesitating to defend the blonde beauty but still never taking his eyes of the two of them as they disappear out of sight.

"Who the fuck just superkicked us?" Matt asks while he touches his tender jaw. First he punches a locker instead of a brother then he gets kicked into next week by an unknown wrestler in white and red tights. His ego was definitely damaged by the end of the match especially being pinned by the blonde bimbo herself.

"I think we can answer that question for you Hardys!" A smug canadian voice that could belong to none other than the wind up merchant himself Edge. "Lance Storm, WCW enthusiast."

"Dude the way he took you Hardys out was totally not awesome." His tag team partner Christan who was just as annoying and arrogant as Edge appeared beside him. The Hardys and Edge and Christian were once friends now turned bitter rivals - they had a long history of life-threatening and career-ending matches that always kept fans on the edge of their seat (pardon the pun.)

"Obviously it's not hard taking out two chump stains like you…" Edge laughed a cockiness in his face. "...we should know."

"What's your point?" Lita snarled, she was extremely protective over The Hardy Boyz.

"Wow you should put her on a leash." Christian laughed with Edge as the two high-five each other proud of the way they managed to irritate the Hardy Boyz and Lita who stood frowning at the two comedians in front of them.

Matt steps forward pushing Lita to the back of him. As he prepares to square up with Edge and Christian.

"Look Hardys we're not here to fight…" Christian laughs.

"We're here to warn you…" Edge confirms acting like he's telling a scary story making weird hand movements and ghost noises.

"Warn us about what?" Matt frowned, pushing Edges hand down to his side.

"Alright snappy Gonzales." Edge chuckled.

"The invasion is coming!" Christian whispers as if it is top secret and on a need-to-know basis. Overly dramatic and goofy as always. Sometimes you just wanted to hit their heads together to knock some sense into the two brain cells they had between them.

"Are you guys high?" Jeff raises his eyebrow which had 3 slices in at the blonde haired supposed brothers in front of him although they didn't look remotely similar. They were good family friends who grew up in the same area but claiming they were brothers was simply a publicity stunt to improve their image.

"We've had no wacky backy today brother blue…" Edge laughs once again.

"WCW have just declared war on WWE." Christian loudly whispers once again.

Vince sits in his office while analyzing Trish who seems much more relaxed than the other day when she came into the office.

"So was that the plan to embarrass The Hardys by sending someone to interrupt the match?" Trish looked disappointed in her former lover. "Why are you doing this to Jeff I told you nothing is going on and we're just friends."

"That wasn't me Trish and I'm not her to talk about you and that rainbow haired rocker." Vince sighs while rubbing his temples obviously stressed. "WWE is under attack."

Trish raises her eyebrow confused. Vince was definitely not as angry as the last time they spoke but rather more exhausted and conceded. Trish more confused as to why Vince has bought her into the office.

"We're going to get invaded… it's already started… I need to know you're loyal to this company." Vince pleads with the blonde in front of him. "I need to know you're loyal to me."
