As Shelby and Shane exited the bedroom door, Shane grabbed Shelby's hand. This move totally surprised her, as she didn't expect him to do that yet. Shane led his Fancy down the stairs as he knew she was still somewhat in shock at all that has happened in the last few hours. When she reached the bottom step, she hesitated a bit, not sure if she wanted to do this just now. Shane felt her resistance, and walked back to her. He lifted up her chin and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Baby, it'll be ok. You and I both know she doesn't bite."

"Unless I am asked."

"(quietly) Hey Princess."

"You two get everything straightened out?"

"Yea, as long as she doesn't ever make me sleep in the chair again."

"Hey, that was your choice, not mine wonder boy."

"There's my fancy. Oh it wasn't really a choice, but I wasn't leaving until things were settled between us."

"Well, do you two want to stay for dinner since I made all this food and Paul cancelled on me?"

"Sure, why not? Fancy made us get our exercise today, and I am famished."

"Hey buddy. I didn't tell you to run after me."

"Did you think I wouldn't?"

"I didn't know. All I was worried about at the time was getting away."

"OK, let's change the subject. Shelby, before all the drama took place today, how did your day go?"

"It went surprisingly well. I wasn't as rusty as I thought I would be all things considered."

"No problems with the knee or anything? Wow, that's great!"

"What's she talking about Fancy?"

"I have no cartilage in my knees. My right acts up more than my left usually when I am dancing. That's why every once in a blue moon, you'll see me lose my step. My knee buckles, and its down I go."

"How come I never knew about this?"

"Don't ask dear. You don't want to know. If it kills you that bad, I will tell you later."

After dinner...

"Thanks for the dinner sis. It was great."

"Thank you Princess for saving me from having to cook on my dinner night."

"Who says that you won't have to tomorrow?"

"You're so not fair McMahon. Remember, follow the schedule."

"You two are a trip. Shane, do you mind if I hang on to her for a minute? I won't keep her long I promise."

"You better not. (laughs) Love you sis."

Stephanie whispers in his ear "You better not hurt her. If you do, I will be having a lynch mob come after you. Understand?"

"Perfectly. I will see you in a bit Fancy."

Shane reaches in and kisses Shelby.

"Aww. You two are so cute together!"

"Shut up Stephanie Marie!"

"Yes ma'am."

With that, Shane leaves the two girls alone.

"Princess, what did you say to him?"

"Oh just being the overprotective best friend is all."

"Girl I could smack you right now. I appreciate it, but if anyone is gonna kick his ass for screwing up, it would be me."

"Oh I know you could do it to. That's one thing my brother doesn't know about you."

"What? That I am actually trained to be in the ring?"

"Yea that."

"I may surprise him with that one day. Who knows?"

"OK. I am gonna let you go home before he sends the search party after you. I know you're scared, but just trust him."

"It's going to be harder to trust myself."

"Honey, believe me. I know you love him more than the waking world now. Just let things happen. Don't push him away now that you have him."

"You know you're the best, don't you Steph?"

"I try. Call me later."
