"Oh come on! It'll be fun!"

"No! Remember the last time I went? I ended up in bed with sir fucks-a-lot." Megan had been trying to convince Kim all morning to go to the local bar with her and Candy, but to no avail.

"You just said you needed to find something fun to do! Bars are fun, Kim."

"She's right, it'll be fun. Besides we wont let you go home with any strange men again" Candice laughed. She knew her friend needed to get out, they all did. Kim just stood by the door and was about to tell them no again when a shrill knock made her jump. She opened the door quickly and was greeted by Stephanie, who gave her a hug as soon as she saw her.

"Shane told me what room you were on so I had to stop by" she said as they continued hugging.

"I'm glad you did! I missed you so much!" when they pulled away Kim motioned her inside. "I want you to meet some friends of mine. You remember Candy," Candice waved and smiled at Steph who returned the gesture, "And this is Megan" Megan waved as well.

"How would you guys like to join me and my dad for breakfast?"

"That'd be great. You two up for breakfast?" Kim asked her two friends.

"Yeah, I'm starving" Megan said as she got up.

"Me too." Candice followed Megan and Stephanie outside when Kim yelled after them.

"You go ahead. I'm just going to change real quick and I'll be right down." When they left Kim grabbed one of her bags and went into the bathroom. She got a quick shower, put on a pair of ripped jeans and a T-shirt, and headed out of the room. She closed the door behind her and turned around, only to run into what felt like a brick wall. "You wanna watch where the hell you're..." she trailed off when she saw who she had run into. Mark looked down at her and raised his eyebrows.

"Watch where the hell I'm what?" he said in a deep voice. She saw him glance at her arm briefly before returning his gaze to her face.

"Nothing. I'm sorry." she replied as she put her head down and started to walk away.

"Kim.." she spun around when she heard him say her name. There was a slight pause before he spoke.

"Watch where you're going." There was no smile, nothing to say he was joking. Just a serious look on his face that gave her chills. He turned around and left her standing in the hallway looking after him. After a few moments had passed she found herself getting angry. How dare he talk to her like that after all these years.

"Asshole" she said out loud before storming off toward the elevators.

"There you are, I was starting to get worried." Vince said as he watched his niece enter the little diner in the hotel and sit down.

"I'm fine" she said, trying to give her uncle a smile, "I just had to grab a quick shower and get changed." Candice looked over at Kim and gave her a questioning look. Kim just shook her head, she'd tell her about what happened later. When they finished Vince paid and the girls thanked him. Megan and Candice walked with Stephanie while Kim stayed behind and walked with Vince.

"So I was thinking," he began "We have a show Monday at the arena near here and I was wondering if you wanted to go. It would be like old times, what do you say?"

"I don't know uncle, I mean it's nice and everything but.."

"You're friends can come too." he stopped and took both her hand in his. "It would really mean a lot to me." she looked into his eyes and sighed.

"Alright" she said smiling. "I'll be there."

"Great! I'll have one of my driver's pick you girls up around 5."

"Oh no. You don't have to go through the trouble of having us picked up. We can just take Candy's car."

"Nonsense. You're my niece and I'll have you picked up." he saw she was about to interrupt again when he put a hand up. "No arguing." he smiled and gave her a hug. "I've got some business to attend to but I'll see you later today."

"Okay, see you then." she smiled at her uncle as he walked away. He was always so stubborn. Just then Megan ran up to her.

"Hey! The snow eased up some so you wanna see if we can hit some stores?" Kim laughed at her friends eagerness.

"Sure, let's go" The girls piled in Candy's car and headed into town. They had already been in 3 stores when Megan finally found something she liked.

"It's perfect!" she exclaimed, holding up a tight knit sweater to Kim.

"For me? What the hell am I going to wear that for?"

"For when we go out to the bar tonight. Please! It'll be fun and you'll look great." She gave Kim the biggest smile she could muster.

"Oh okay, fine. I'll go." Megan screamed in excitement and began jumping up and down. Candice was looking through some clothes and just rolled her eyes.

"Now go try it on! I wanna see how it fits." Megan eagerly pushed Kim toward the dressing room. When she walked out Megan gave her applause in approval. Kim smiled and went over to check out the outfit in the mirror. It was a bit tight, but not too bad. The sweater itself was a soft cotton material and the shade of green accented her eyes. She had to admit, it didn't look all that bad. After stopping at a few more stores they were about to call it quits when Kim remembered the show Vince had invited them to.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you two. After breakfast, Vince stopped me and invited us to the show on Monday. He said someone would be there to pick us up around 5." Megan gasped.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner! Now I have to find an outfit for it!"

"You bought 10 outfits today!" Candice yelled "Wear one of those!"

"I can't wear one of those! I have to have something special with all those hot guys around."

"Fine but hurry up." Candice actually didn't mind Megan shopping around some more because she found it to be the perfect opportunity to ask Kim about earlier.

"So what was wrong when you came down for breakfast?" Kim looked over at her friend and roller her eyes.

"I ran into you know who when I was heading downstairs. And when I say I ran into him, I mean literally ran into him." Candy looked at her wide eyed as she continued. "I was about to tell him off when I realized who it was, and decided against it. So as I'm walking away he calls after me and tells me to watch where I'm going, then just tramples off. What an ass." she said throwing a shirt she had picked up back on the shelf.

"Sounds like you need to blow off some steam."

"Yeah. I'm just glad we're going out tonight so I don't have to be stuck in the same building as him."
