The group of seven friends headed out to Atlantic City around eleven. They wanted to leave a bit earlier but since Trish and Mickie were now joining them, it took a little longer than Randy and Dawn had planned. Right now they were two hours in the drive and currently stuck in traffic for a while. They would have been much closer to the destination if it hadn't been for the traffic. They made it less than halfway in the two hours they were driving. The couples, Edge, Mickie, Trish, and John were in one of theirs rental car while the other three, Dawn, Lita, and Randy, were in Dawns car.

"Ugh. This is taking forever." Dawn complained. She hated driving in traffic. She wanted to switch with either of the two passengers but she knew she couldn't just stop in the middle of traffic and change drivers in case the traffic actually started moving along.

"This is what you get." Lita replied still a little annoyed at Dawn for this plan of hers. She knew her friend was up to something even though Dawn was playing innocent.

Dawn smirked at her friend. "You know, we could talk about something fun." She looked through the mirror to wink at Randy who immediately knew what she wanted to talk about. Fortunately for her, Lita was looking out the window.

"And what would this fun thing be?" Lita turned to look around at Dawn.

"John." Randy spoke up from the back.

"Excuse me?" Lita was a little shocked. Did Randy know about everything that was going on?

"Oh Li, how slow are you? Randy knows." Dawn piped up

"About what?" Lita asked even though she knew the answer. Hoping that she thought wrong.

"You and John. Duh." Dawn said as if Lita should have known that already.

Lita glared at her. "You told him?"

"No," Randy started to say, "John told me. I saw him leave your room that morning."

"Lovely."

"So Li, let's talk about John." Dawn once again smirked at the red-head. She was having fun seeing Lita look a bit uncomfortable.

"Let's not. And I might not kill you." Lita turned the volume of the radio a bit higher in order to avoid this but Dawn knew exactly what she was doing and turned the radio off altogether.

"That's not going to work. Randy here thinks that John likes you more than a friend."

"We're in high school all over again. Funny, I didn't see either of you there." Lita rolled her eyes as she continued. "And Randy, please enlighten me and tell me why you think this?"

"Well I mean, John bas..." Dawn stopped when she felt Randy kick the back of the seat. She didn't realize what she was about to do. "I mean, go ahead Randy tell her."

Randy rolled his eyes. Dawn almost told Lita the truth about John's conflicted feelings. It wasn't there place to tell Lita anything he told them. Dawn probably got caught up and accidentally spilled the beans. "He's my best-friend. I know him better than he knows himself."

"And?"

"And I think he likes you."

"Why do you think that?" She really wanted to know why Dawn and Edge, and now Randy were bugging her about this.

Randy kicked the back of Lita's seat who wanted to hit him but she couldn't since he moved back to the other side. "Do that again and I'll castrate you."

He rolled his eyes at the red-head. "Can you let me finish before you interrupt me again? Anyways, he's been spending a lot of time with you lately and don't give me that 'it's a part of the story line' bullshit because I've been in story lines with other people but I've never spent as much time with them like the two of you have been doing. He's been ditching me for you. I mean, I would probably be able to understand if he ditched me for, oh, I don't know, his actual girlfriend."

Before Lita could protest, the brunette spoke up. "Same here Li. Randy told me ho..."

"You guys talk? About me and John? When nothing is going on?" Lita was getting really annoyed by all of this. She wished she just went home like she originally planned.

"Yes, he tells me things. Anyways. He told me how you two are almost always together. You don't even answer most of my calls anymore. When you actually do pick up, you're with John. I never had to spend this much time with Torrie for that awful story line. Plus, you never spent this much time with Kane when you were in that story line with him." Dawn could tell she hit a nerve when the red-head wasn't replying to them. It looked like she was ignoring them until she said something.

Lita let out a breath until she was ready to reply. She wasn't looking at either of them, instead looking straight ahead through the windshield. "We're friends. That's it. And now I would love it if we could just stop talking about this. First Trish, thankfully she stopped. Then Edge, and now the two of you. Please stop."

"Come on Li, you can't hide from this forever." Dawn finally kept quiet when Lita wasn't paying her anymore attention. Dawn and Randy started to talk about different things while Lita was thinking about what Dawn, Randy, Edge, and Trish all said to her. She thought they were all crazy.

"Poor Li," Edge started to say when occupants of both cars met one another in the lobby of the hotel they were going to stay in. "How was Dawn?'

"Unbearable. Don't leave me with her again." Lita pleaded him.

"I resent that." Dawn spoke up from beside her.

"Truth hurts."

"Anyways," Trish interrupted a possible argument. "How are we rooming?"

"I don't want to share with Dawn."

"Too bad. I'm assuming Edge and Mickie, and John and Trish would like to share. You can just share with Randy if you don't want to share with me." Dawn smirked and started to look at John to see how he would react to that.

Randy decided to have some fun with that and went beside the red-head and put his arm around her shoulders and winked at her. "We could have a lot of fun."

She shrugged his arm off of herself. "No thanks. I guess I'm stuck with Dawn."

"No one wants me?" Randy feigned hurt.

"I'm sure your hand does." John spoke up.

"Very funny."

"You know we could get a suite and you could share with me and Li." Dawn suggested.

Randy nodded in agreement. "Well that's settled. Let's go."

Lita, Dawn, and Randy were left by themselves yet again since John and Trish, and Edge and Mickie wanted to have a quiet dinner together. Lita and Dawn were currently in their room getting ready for their night out. The group had decided to go gambling for their first night out. They decided that since they had the whole day Wednesday and Thursday for other things, they would just spend tonight at the casino. They were all going to meet at the casino later.

There was a knock on the door separating their room from Randy's room. "Come in." Lita called.

"Poor Randal. His boys left him alone with the girls. You can tell us how pretty we look while we get ready."

"Lucky me." Randy quipped. "How much longer are you two going to take. I'm hungry."

"Well," Lita said stepping out from the bathroom, "I'm done."

Dawn smiled as she looked at the red-head. "See Li, I told you you would look so hot."

"Says you."

"Tell her she looks hot Randy."

"You look hot." Randy said as he was told even though he did agree so he wasn't really forced to say that.

Lita rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

"I'm going to have to teach you how to take a compliment." Dawn replied going to the bathroom. "I just have to finish my hair and I'll be out."

"It's a circus in there. Just the two of us. You would think we were also sharing with Mickie and Trish."

"Good thing I don't have to share the same bathroom with you two." Randy was in fact thankful that they didn't have to share with one another. His sister always made a mess of the bathroom when he was at home.

"It's not that bad." Dawn called from the bathroom. "It would be a lot worse if the two of them were with us."

The group of seven found one another at the casino. They were currently split up into groups of two again. This time, Lita was with Trish, Mickie, and Edge playing craps while Dawn opted to play blackjack with the other two guys. She had her motives to be with both John and Randy. Instead Lita, John was on the other end of an ambush from the other two he was currently with. He too, like Lita, was getting annoyed by the two especially since he had two separate conversations with the two of them recently.

"Look, I told you two nosy people how I feel so let's just drop it now before someone walks past us and hears." John really thought the two of them needed to leave him alone.

"You never told us everything." Dawn was definitely more nosy than Randy

"That was everythin'."

"What are you going to do about Trish?"

"Nothin'."

"I think you should break up with her now. Stop leading her on. I saw the way you looked at her and Randy when I suggested they share a room. You looked totally jealous."

"I was not."

"I agree with her." Randy finally spoke up. He started to explain when John glared at him. "Look, if you're confused about how you feel about your girlfriends best-friend, you need to break up with her. You're going to make this awkward for the both of them and yourself. It's not going to be a happy ending for either of you."

"I don't know. As crazy as I think the two of ya sound, I do agree but I don't want to hurt her feelings and it's already goin' to be awkward no matter what." John started to pay attention back to the game. "Plus, I don't think Red would hurt her relationship with Trish for me."

"Aw. You call her Red. So cute already have a nickname for her."

Randy snorted. "Her nickname for him is 'Jackass'."

Dawn rolled her eyes, she looked up to see the other four coming towards them. "We should stop this conversation now. They're coming." She nodded towards the other four.

"We shouldn't even had started it." John replied.

"It's one in the morning. These girls are ready to go." Edge said as he came up to the other three.

"Yea," Mickie replied, "I'm tired and we have a lot of other things to do tomorrow. So we should probably go now."

"Alright." Dawn agreed. "Let's go."

They made their way to their respective hotel rooms. Lita was happy that, for once, Dawn didn't want to talk about anything and let her sleep in peace. Little did she know, Dawn was actually brainstorming how she was going to get Lita to confront her feelings. She only had until Friday with Lita when she could actually talk about this without the red-head making an excuse for getting off the phone. It was easy for her to avoid Dawn on the phone, but it wouldn't be that easy now since they were face to face.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for the reviews.
