A/N: Any anime fans out there? For the longest time I was trying to find out why the hell I hated Naruto. I just figured it out now. It's so dang emoooooo! LOL

And I'm stuck on WWE Commercials. If you have any ideas you would like to see in it, please PM me.

Scenes are in bold.

Review.

Shannon's day came around. So he, including Matt came down to Tallahassee, Florida to see Bree and I. Matt told us that he figured he was strong enough to come see his own wife and his best girl. Jeff was still doing some resting. Xanadu went to Cameron from time to time to make sure he was doing good. She liked to check in on him.

We were doing a taping of RAW. Though, this wasn't any ordinary RAW. This was the final one that I was going to be starring on and then I would be drafted to Smackdown! We had a big plan coming for a scene we were doing tonight. It was going to be Shawn and my character getting married. But there was a twist... someone would ruin it.

Shannon and I were in my locker room while I put the final touches on my dress and hair. I noticed that there was something strange going on with him. He was oddly quiet. And it was worrying me too. He's usually up-to-beat, getting me pumped for a match or just for a show. But not now. I knew it wasn't the fact that I was doing a romantic-like scene with Shawn. He was cool with that, not worried at all. But it was different.

"Shan?" I called to him.

"What?" he replied, stiffly. I felt the tension hit me. Great.

"I-is something wrong?" I asked. I wish I hadn't.

"No." he said simply. I rolled my eyes. Yes there was.

I wouldn't give up on him. "Yes there is. What's the matter?"

He was quiet for a moment. Then... "Is this the right thing to do? I mean... us?"

I made a strange, confused face. "Yeah, of course. Why?"

"Well... I over heard something about you." he confessed. What the fuck?

I sat down next to him. "What? By who?"

"The person doesn't matter." he said. "I just heard that... you still have feelings for Jeff."

I just shook my head. My expression still the same. "Shannon... whoever said that is wrong. I really don't. What Jeff and I had is in the past. I love you, and you only. You can trust me."

"But you still care about him." he added.

I nodded, honestly. "Yes I do still care about him. He's still someone very close to me. But your my boyfriend, I would never think of another guy like that when I'm with you. I don't do that."

He looked like he was about to cry. "Okay."

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me deeply. I don't know what he heard, but obviously he misunderstood.

"I love you." I told him.

"I love you too." he replied.

'Here Comes The Bride' played as I walked down the runway with my actor father. My real dad was back in Arizona. He wouldn't make it in time to be in the scene.

It was at the closing, last minutes of RAW. Time for the show.

I couldn't help but think about what Shannon said. I was so worried. He wasn't going to be happy about what was going to about what was going to happen next.

My stage father lead me into the ring. I stepped up and into the center, while he stood by some of the girls. I stepped over to Shawn and wrapped my arms around him. We tried to make it look apart of the scene.

"You okay?" Shawn whispered into my ear.

My breathing was slightly heavy and unsteady. "Yeah."

"Y'sure?" he said.

"I hope so." I replied.

We let go of each other and started. Shawn and I held onto each other's hands like a real couple getting married.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate this special occasion. The bond between two special people brought to you by God up above." spoke the pastor. "Now before we begin, if there are any objections, please speak forth or forever hold your peace."

We waited for a minute for any body to stand up, but no one did.

"All right..." the pastor said.

He continued on with the marriage, and then finally, when we got to the kissing part; that's when everything fell apart.

"...You may now kiss the bride."

The crowd started to cheer as Jeff ran down the run way into the ring. He slipped through the ropes and began trashing the whole ring. Everyone knew about Jeff and my past being together, and once the news about us breaking up, the writers thought it would be interesting to see him being the reason of Shawn and I's marriage to become a disaster. Although, us superstars knew it was fake.

I acted as if I was in shock and horror. Shawn escaped the ring along with the Bride Maids and Grooms Men. Shawn called me out of the ring, but I motioned for him to wait.

As soon as Jeff had turned around, I super-kicked him to the face, causing him to fall flat on his back. I looked at him and did the 'Suck It!' chop. After that, I climbed to the top ropes and was about to preform a frog splash on him, but he quickly moved out of the way. Unfortunately, it caused me some pain. I lied there, as Jeff ranted on. That's when Shawn entered in the ring. I had my eyes closed, but I knew what was going on. The two were probably now at each other's throats doing a stare down. They say a few words, and that's when Jeff left. Shawn helped me get back on my feet, and that was it.

Later backstage...

"Sorry if I kinda hurt ya ... my bad." I apologized.

"No problem. It's nothing to every day stuff. You know that." Jeff said, waving it off.

"Yeah..." I replied. "So... are we cool?"

He paused for a minute. "Yeah, we're cool."

"Can we start over as friends?" I asked, extending my hand.

"'Course." he smiled. But instead of shaking my hand, he gave me a big hug.

"I don't wanna fight with you anymore." I told him, softly. "I don't wanna be your enemy anymore."

"I know." he replied. "I don't either."

"Hey Car." said a third voice.

I let go of Jeff and rotated around. There was Shannon standing right in front of us.

"Hey baby." I smiled, greeting him friendly.

His expression was harden. "Can I talk to you?"

"Of course." I said. I looked at Jeff. "Thanks for everything."

He nodded, walking off. I joined Shannon as we headed to my locker room. I touched his hand, about to hold it, but he yanked his back. Oh no...

"What was that all about?" he asked.

"What was what?" I responded.

"Don't play stupid. The Jeff thing." he told me. "I thought you said you's two were over."

I sighed annoyed, shaking my head. "Shan, that was only a storyline. It meant nothing. And when I was talking to him, I was just healing old wounds. Nothing more than that."

"Really." he said, still not believing me.

I rolled my eyes. "What is with you? It was nothing okay? I wasn't flirtin' or anything. And having Jeff be in that scene out in the ring, was not my choice. Stephanie suggested it because it would give RAW more ratings. So will you quit with the drama?"

He sighed, pissed off. "You know what, whatever. I'm out of here."

I glared at him as he left me just standing there. I felt hurt and humiliated. I looked down at my promise bracelet he had given me.

I can't believe he would do this.
