Disclaimer: I don't own WWE or the plot, just how the story goes.
Author's Note: Who is older, Nikki or Brie? I never knew. And I tried to look but I didn't find anything. And Daniel's career could be over if his neck doesn't heal. I feel like he just started his career. I hope he gets better and comes back at full strength and 100% healed.

Anyways about the story. 90 reviews. C'mon guys, lets get to 100 with this chapter. I love all of you for reviews, favoriting, following, or simply reading. You all make me want to write more.

So majority of the story, I just paid Paige and AJ attention. Now I'm giving the others (Nikki, Brie, Seth, Emma, Dean, and Summer) more screen time. Well Seth and twin have had big roles in the story, and Emma. Dean and Summer will be getting storylines too. In extent, Roman, John, and Daniel will be in the story.

Warning: Cliffhanger. Don't murder me!

Update: May 12, 2015

PAIGE sat down, the armful of junk on the bed. She smiled when she saw Emma walk in with more. Emma had asked if she wanted to hang out, and she did. Paige and Emma hadn't had time alone in some time, and both women missed it. They were both hoping to have a day. And when the day came, they were happy.

"Ready for the sleepover?" Paige asked, grinning.

"Are you going to leave to hang out with AJ?" Emma asked, drily. She dumped all the junk food with what Paige had brought.

"What?" Paige questioned, confused.

"I'm sorry," Emma whispered, sitting down on her bed. She looked way, not wanting to sound like a total bitch. She sighed deeply. She was hoping she could get through the day without getting mad or letting her anger known, but she couldn't stop herself.

"Emma? What's going on? You would always tell me what was bothering you," Paige told her, moving to sit next to her.

"And when did you ever tell me anything?" Emma shot back, giving Paige a look.

Paige frowned, knowing that Emma was right. She never told her anything, and it must have sucked. Especially now that she knew how it felt.

"And it sucks when I have to hear from other people. I had to find out the hard way that you're ex was back. That he was hurting you. And that AJ knew? I know you have feeling for her, and I know you hoped you two would have some sort of future, but I'm your best friend."

"Emma—"

"No, I feel like I'm losing you. Like our friendship doesn't mean much anymore," she continued, looking away.

"Emma, you'll never lose me," Paige told her.

"Then why does it feel like I already did?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were feeling that way. I didn't know I made you feel that way."

Emma didn't respond. She just kept quiet.

"I didn't want to bother you, with my problems. I know that I have a lot of baggage, but I didn't want you to feel like you had to take care of me."

"I'm your best friend Paige. Of course I want to help you though it all. I want to help you, it's my duty," Emma told her, turned to her. Emma looked at Paige in the eye.

"I'm sorry," Paige whispered, giving her a small smile.

Emma sighed and nodded. "It's my fault too. I should have said something earlier. But I thought I would give you your space."

"But you said something now. Talk to me. What do you want to know," Paige told her.

"Was it really Sami?"

Paige nodded. "Yeah. It was him all along."

"And that time we were hanging out with Rome, Dean, and Seth. You left rather quickly, why?"

"Roman was talking about NXT and it brought back memories. Emotions I want to keep guarded. It had set me off. Especially with all that was going on. Everything came full wave and I just couldn't handle it."

"Seth, he told me something, and I want you to be completely honest with me," Emma told her and continued when she saw her British friend nod, "he told me that Sami threatened me. He used me to keep you around. Was that true?"

"Yes."

"What did he say?"

"He told me that if I left him, there were many times I tried to leave. He said that if I left, he would go after you. He said he would get you, and make you into a shell of who you are. I couldn't have him do that. Not to you."

"Why Paige? You couldn't have been safe. Seth wouldn't have let him anywhere near me."

"I know that now. But at the time, I wasn't thinking right. He got to me; he destroyed me. I couldn't let him get to you. I just couldn't."

"I'm sorry, Paige."

"Emma, no. It wasn't your fault. He just knew how to use my weakness."

Emma smiled softly. "I'm your weakness? I'm your kryptonite?"

Paige laughed. "No, you'd be Supergirl. I'd be someone badass, like Scarlett Witch."

Emma nodded. "Different companies."

"We're so badass we work together. But you mean too much to me for someone to hurt you."

"How are things between you and AJ?" Emma asked, changing the subject. She wanted to get on a lighter note.

Paige shrugged. She smiled softly. "We're friends. Not as close as you are to me. But we'll have a great friendship I think."

"Nothing more."

Emma wondered if she should tell Paige about AJ's feeling for her. She wondered how Paige would react.

"There is something I have to tell you," Emma said, looking at Paige with a serious look.

"Uh-oh, what is it?" Paige said, a playful tone in her voice.

Emma smiled. "It's about Seth, and me."

"No way!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide and excited.

The blond nodded. She then told Paige about what happened, about the time they kissed.

Paige smiled as she listened. Once Emma finished, Paige commented on it. "You two have had feeling for a long time. Do you know how awkward it got for me sometimes? I was always the third wheel!"

Emma laughed as she listened Paige complain.

"I'm really happy for you two. You're perfect for each other," the Brit said, smiling softly.

Emma smiled. "You'll find someone who'll love you the right way soon."

"I hope so."

"Now we should start eating this junk food. We bought too much for just the two of us," Emma commented, grinning.

Paige laughed and nodded. Paige went to pick out a movie while Emma set up the candy and chips, and drinks.

"MISTER Ambrose, what are you doing here all alone?" Summer asked, as she walked to sit next to Dean at the bar.

Dean chuckled as he turned to look at her. "I'm trying to see if anyone wants to come home with me."

"And who would be stupid enough to go home with you?"

Dean gave her a smug look. "If I remember correctly, you did."

"I was wasted. I wasn't thinking correctly," Summer snapped, glaring at him.

"Yeah. But all I remember is you screaming my name all night long."

"Pig. I don't know what I ever saw in you."

"So you saw something?"

Summer rolled her eyes and asked for a drink. She watched as the bartender mixed her drink.

"So what are you going out here?" Dean asked, as he tossed back his drink.

"I just wanted to get drunk. What does it look like I'm doing?" Summer asked, glaring at him.

"What has the Princess all pissed?"

"God, you're so annoying. What do the others see?"

Dean grinned. "They see through the façade." He started to laugh at his joke.

"Are you drunk?" Summer asked, a little concerned.

"Nope. Not even close. So Summer, why are you trying to get drunk."

"Just because."

"Got ditched too, huh?" Dean asked, giving her a small smile.

Summer shrugged. "I guess."

Dean picked up his drink. "Here's to lonely souls."

Summer gave him a smile and tapped her cup with his.

Maybe they weren't as lonely as they thought.

PAIGE watched as Emma and Layla fight in the ring. She grinned as she watched Emma do the Emma-mite Sandwich. She cheered when she saw Layla tap out in the Emma-Lock.

"You look happy," AJ said, grinning from behind her.

Paige turned and nodded. "Emma just won, who could I not be happy?"

"She still doesn't like me does she?"

Paige shrugged. "She's protective. But she knows you'll be in my life for a long time, and she's willing to put her problems behind her."

"She's a great friend," AJ said, sitting down Paige.

"She is. We just clicked instantly. She, uh she came into NXT after I did. And we just became fast friends. She was on the only people who understood me, you know?"

"Yeah."

"Want to get out of here?" Paige asked, a smile on her face. She watched as AJ nodded.

Paige grabbed AJ's wrist and rushed out of the room.

"SO she still doesn't know?" Nikki asked, surprised. She looked at Brie, Seth, and Emma. All of them shook their heads.

"If she doesn't tell her soon, she's going to lose her window," Brie told them.

"That's if Paige still has feelings. She's moving on. She's getting over her feelings for AJ. Soon, all she's see is a friend," Seth told them.

"What are you guys talking about?" Dean asked, as he walked to the group. Behind him was Summer, who was also curious. She greeted the girls with a hug and gave Seth a kiss on the cheek.

"Paige and AJ," Nikki responded, nodding her head.

"What about them?"

"Well we all know about Paige's feeling for AJ, right?" The two newcomers nodded. "It turns out, AJ has feeling for Paige now. And she hasn't said anything yet."

"Wait, I thought she was dating Sami," Summer said, frowning. She looked at the group, confused.

"What?" Seth asked, shocked.

"Yeah. I saw them kiss a few times."

"Why didn't you tell us anything?" Seth asked, anger in his voice.

Nikki and Brie were confused. Emma was frowning, not having known that. But she was reconnecting with Paige, she was going to tell her when she was ready and Emma wasn't going to push her. Dean got between Summer, who looked a little scared, and Seth, who was fuming.

"Hey, back off man," Dean told him, glaring at his brother.

Seth sighed, and he felt Emma pull his hand back. "I'm sorry Summer. I didn't mean to snap. It was just important."

"Wait, if Paige was dating Sami, why did we see her kiss Corey?" Brie asked, confusion in her voice.

Seth sighed. "It's not our story to tell. But Paige is currently single. That I can tell you."

Emma nodded, vouching for her boyfriend.

"Whoa, hold on. What is going on here?" Dean asked, staring at Seth and Emma.

Emma blushed and looked away. She knew their relationship was out in the open. Seth on the other hand grinned. "Guess what?" He asked, his eyes wide with excitement.

Dean shook his head as he watched the younger man beam for his girlfriend, or he assumed they were dating.

"Finally," Nikki muttered. "Do you know how exhausting it was seeing you to give each other those lovey-dovey looks?"

Emma laughed. "I'm sorry."

"When did this happened?" Brie asked, smiling at them.

"Sunday night. We hung out. We talked. We kissed," Emma told them, smiling up at Seth.

The dual-haired man grinned and leaned down to capture her lips.

"Gross," Dean muttered, rolling his eyes.

"Back to the topic at hand. Paige and AJ. So they are both single. They both have feeling for the other. What next?"

"Get AJ to declare her love for Paigey," Dean said, as if it were obvious, because, well it was.

"Vegas. When we go to Vegas next week. We'll get them drunk, and put them in a room together. They may sleep with each other, and then they would have to deal with their feelings," Summer told them, not making eye contact with the man next to her.

Dean grinned as he nodded. "Brilliant."

Seth and Emma rolled their eyes. "Guttered brain."

"Awe, Semma is already talking as one," Dean gushed.

"Shut up," they both said, glaring at the Lunatic Fringe.

Dena just laughed. He walked away. Summer reached over and pulled Emma away, telling her that she would need to tell her about her and Seth.

It just left Seth with the twins. They all looked at each other.

"Want to go get some dinner?" Seth asked, grinning.

Brie and Nikki shrugged. "Okay. But I have to get John."

"That's fine."

"I had fun," AJ said, grinning at Paige.

The Brit had taken her to mini-golfing. Paige had always wanted to go. She'd go with Seth and Emma, but as stated before, it would had made things awkward, being third-wheel and all.

But Paige and AJ had a lot of fun. They were laughing the whole time, trying to make impossible shots. They spend a lot of time in each hole, making other people mad when they had to wait.

"I'm glad," Paige responded, nodding. She took off her jacket and looked for something to change into for the night.

"Hey, Paige," AJ called out, as she sat down on the bed she was going to sleep in.

Paige looked up at her, a smile still on her face.

"There is something I really need to tell you. And I was going to tell you before, but then Corey, Adrian, and Zayne," Paige flinched, "sorry, but then they interrupted. And then the Sami thing happened and I couldn't find the right moment to tell you. And then I was going to tell you after your match with Nikki, but you lost. And I just, I don't know. If I don't tell you now, I may never tell you. And I should really tell you."

"AJ! Breathe and relax," Paige told her, an amused look on her face.

"Look, Paige, this is hard to say, okay."

"Okay."

AJ took a deep breath before looking at Paige in the eyes. "Paige, I think I'm in love with you."

Paige's smile was wiped off her face. "Wh-what?"

"I'm in love with you."

How will Paige react, good, bad? (I know already. I have a part of it done already.) Did you guys like the Paige/Emma and Dean/Summer parts? And the group is going to Vegas. What happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas.

There wasn't a lot of AJ-Paige moments, but just imagine them going mini-golfing. Paige teaching AJ the cliché version? Have that in your head? There is your Pai-J moment. I may put it in a flashback in the next chapter, maybe not.

Hope you guys liked this. Review. And until next time.
