Author's Note: There is a part here for my boss, crazyboi23, just so you know.

Here is chapter 35. Ten more for the story to be "over" (not counting the epilogues). You guys will find out why I chose this title at the end of the chapter, if you have not guessed yet. (I'm listening to Eminem as I write the A/Ns [Real Slim Shady, not that has nothing to do with the chapter, just really like the song].)

Enjoy you guys.

"RESTRAINING order, can I get one?" Paige asked, as she stared at the television.

AJ wrapped her arms around her girlfriend, as she placed her head on her shoulder.

"I think she's trying to get ride of us. I mean, your eye is getting better, but you still have to get cleared."

Paige sighed, as she nodded her head. She looked at AJ, who had a grin on her face.

"Fastlane is going to be in two weeks. Are you excited for it?"

"Sami is going to be at Fastlane. He's coming back."

Paige looked away. "Yeah, really excited."

"Seth and Emma are getting married after Summerslam. Where all of this began."

Paige let out a small laugh, as she remembered it.

"Yeah, you sent me an angry message. And your pursuit started from there."

"Do you ever think about how things would have been if I actually did what you said and stayed away?"

"All the time," the Divas Champion whispered, nodding her head slowly. "Sometimes I wished you did, but I'm so happy you didn't. You make me happy. You make me feel like I'm on top of the world."

"Cause you deserve it. I know it'll be hard at times. And that there are moments that you'll shut down, but at least you know I'll never give up on you."

Paige smiled as she turned to kiss AJ on the lips. "Can we just lay here? I just want to feel you in my arms."

AJ nodded and went to lay down on the bed, feeling Paige's arms around her waist. AJ closed her eyes, letting the feeling of someone there help her fall asleep.

Paige wasn't far from sleep. She turned off the lamp and fell asleep, helping AJ close.

"CATCH me!" Emma exclaimed, as she ran around the ring. Paige, Seth, Emma, Corey, and Dean had snuck inside the performance center, just like they did in their NXT days. It was the one tradition they weren't going to share with anyone, not Nikki, Brie, John, Daniel. Not Roman, Summer or Sasha, even though they were NXT alumni themselves. Not even AJ.

Seth and Corey laughed as they chased Emma around. They knew that they had to be careful not to get caught.

"Hey, how are things?" Dean asked, as she sat down next to Paige.

The Brit smiled. She nodded her head. "Yeah, I'm great."

"That's good. I wish I had known about Sami before. Do you remember how this tradition started?"

Paige laughed. She nodded.

"It'll be fun," Paige said, slightly drunk from the night of drinking they had. Dean was holding her up, as Emma, Seth, and Corey looked at the building. They didn't know what to do.

"It's not a good idea," Seth said, staring at it. He had been the only one sober. Paige was the most drunk, followed by Dean, Corey, and lastly Emma.

Seth wanted to keep an eye on Paige. It had been weeks since he had gotten the phone call, and he had been worried. With the exception of work, she was almost always drunk and it had him worried.

"C'mon, lets say we did something crazy," Dean said.

Emma, and Corey nodded, their drunken minds wanting to have an adventure.

Seth sighed and nodded. They all walked into the building, after Dean picked the lock.

"Yeah, even though we were drunk, it was a good idea. I mean, look at what it got use. We can use the ring for our own purpose."

"To release our anger," Dean muttered, as he watched Seth wrap his arms around a giggling Emma.

Paige looked over at him.

"I know you always wanted to come here. You were always trying to find a way to fight. You had so much anger, from Sami, and you wanted something to hit."

"Is that why you did it?"

Dean shrugged. "We all wanted to help, even though you never told us. You, were so destroyed, and none of us knew how to help you. But then I found out you wanted something to hit. Something to beat on, like Sami and beaten on you. So I decided to become your dummy. No one else knows that."

"Dean—"

"It's okay. It was my way of helping you. You were like a younger sister. Especially since I couldn't get rid of you."

Paige laughed, as she shook her head. "You're an idiot."

Dean grinned as he stood up. "Tag team? You and Emma, versus me, Seth, and Corey."

The twenty-two year smirked, as she nodded. "It's on."

PAIGE and Summer were walking to catering. Paige had a cup of hot coffee in her hand.

"Are you ready for your match?" Paige asked, as she looked at Summer.

The blond nodded. "Yeah. And you better win yours. I want Emma and I to beat you at Fastlane."

"Bitch please, I'm going be the first to have ever held all three titles."

"Maybe, not you won't be the first one to have the Tag Titles."

Paige just laughed. "You are going against Bayley and Char?"

"Like NXT, but teams have changed. You and Sasha are in different teams too."

"Brings back a lot of memories."

Summer didn't say much.

Paige clenched her teeth. She hated it. Whenever Sami was brought up, they always stayed quiet. Like they were worried that anything they said would break her. But their silence was bad enough.

Paige just ignored her anger. They turned the corner, and someone crashed into her.

The coffee fell on her.

"Fuck!" Paige exclaimed, feeling the heat of the coffee on her. She looked to glare at Nikki.

But it wasn't Nikki. It was John. "Seriously?"

"I'm so sorry Paige. Nikki send me to get her water, and I didn't see you. Do you need anything?"

"It's contagious," Paige muttered, her eyes wide. She shook her head. "Stay away, fuck that hurts, from me, ow, until after Fastlane. I can't end up in the emergency room. I need to go clean myself."

Paige headed to the restroom, as she placed the napkins on her skin, flinching.

She opened the door, and smirked. "Well, what do we have here?"

Baylay pushed herself from Charlotte, a blush on her cheeks.

"What happened?" Charlotte asked, when she saw Paige's red stomach.

She let out a laugh. "John, and Nikki. Trying to kill me." She wet some paper towels and placed them on her burn. Sighing when it touched. "And what I saw, you're not getting away with it. I want to know about it. But after your match, that is next."

Bayley and Charlotte's eyes widened, as they ran out the restroom.

Paige laughed, as she looked at the burn. It wasn't too bad. She rolled her eyes, threw the paper towels away and left the restroom. Someone was watching her as she exited the room, a smirk on their face.

"THIS match will determine the second team that will go to Fastlane to be in the triple threat match for the Divas Tag Team Titles."

There was a Emma's song, with Summer's mixed into it.

"Introducing first, the team of Emma and Summer Rae, The Summer of the Emmalution."

Summer and Emma did their own thing as they entered, keeping their characters up.

Charlotte's theme came out, and she walked out with Bayley.

"Their opponents, the team of the NXT Women's Champion Charlotte and Bayley!"

Summer and Bayley went first.

They went for a grapple. Bayley grabbed Summer by the hair and pulled her down. The blond held her head. Bayley then went for a pin. It barely went to one.

She grabbed Summer by the hair and whipped her to the corner. She ran behind her and elbowed her.

Summer groaned, as she felt the elbow. Bayley pulled her away and whipped her to the ropes, but Summer was able to reverse it. She grabbed Bayley by her hair and slammed it down. She tagged Emma in, and the Australian blond used the roped to run towards Bayley, who saw her coming. Bayley dropped to the ground, and Emma dropped down next to her.

Bayley looked around saw Emma next to her. She tried to grab her, but Emma just moved away. Bayley looked back, only to have her head slammed onto the ground.

Emma picked Bayley up and suplexed her. She went for the cover. She got to two.

She went to tag Summer in. Bayley tried to drag herself to the corner, but Summer kicked her.

Summer picked her up by her hair and got ready for the Summer Crush, but Bayley reversed it into the Belly to Bayley. The brunette went to tag in her partner, while Summer tried to crawl to Emma. Charlotte was able to catch up and pulled her away.

She turned Summer around and clothes lined her.

She went for the cover.

One!

Two!

Summer was able to kick out. Charlotte got onto Summer and started to elbow her.

Summer was able to pushed her off. She started to get up, but Charlotte just kneed her face.

Charlotte grabbed a handful of hair and picked her up. Summer kicked Charlotte when she was standing up. She ran to clothesline Charlotte, but Charlotte ended up doing the same thing.

Both women were down. Emma and Bayley were shouting for their partners.

Summer started to crawl towards Emma, but Charlotte grabbed her leg. Summer turned and kicked the second generation Flair away. She stood up and picked Charlotte up. She grabbed her hair and pulled her away.

Summer got the chance to perform the Summer Crush. SHE then went for the cover.

One!

Two!

Charlotte kicked out. Summer started to crawl to Emma, hoping to make the hot tag.

Emma was jumping, her hand sticking out. Charlotte tagged in Bayley, who rushed to stop Summer, but was too late. Summer tagged in her Australian partner.

Emma rushed in and clotheslined Bayley. She did it again. Then she ran to the roped and back to Bayley, drop kicking her. Emma turned and elbowed Charlotte. The NXT Champion got into the ring to attack Emma, but was stopped by Summer, do performed the Summer Crush again.

Bayley was sitting in the corner. Emma got to the middle of the ring, before running to Bayley, performing the Emma-Mite Sandwich. She walked over and pulled Baylay away, to pin. She only got to two.

Emma stood up, and turned Bayley onto her back. Emma performed the Emma-Lock, and held on until Bayley tapped out.

"Here are yoru winners, and moving on to Fastlane to face The Bella Twins at Fastlane, Emma and Summer, The Summer of the Emmalution!"

"WHAT did Nikki do this time?" AJ asked, glaring at her friend.

Paige shook her head. "It wasn't Nikki. It was John, doing something for Nikki."

AJ and Brie looked at the pale girl, surprised. "What?"

"I think it's contagious. I mean, it was always Nikki, and now it's her fiancé. That's not a coincidence."

"I believe you. How do we stop this?"

Paige shrugged. "You tell me. I don't know anymore. I think it'll stop when I'm in my grave."

"You're a walking danger magnet," Brie told her friend, smirking. There was a knock on the door. She could hear Daniel.

"Hey, Brie, there's this vegan restaurant that we should try. It has gotten good reviews, and I want to try it with you," he said. Brie said her goodbyes to her friends and left.

Paige looked at AJ, and grinned. "You're going to kiss my burn better?"

AJ laughed and nodded. "When we get to the hotel. And I'll make sure you're one hundred percent. But let me find John first. He needs to pay for what he did."

Paige nodded. "Okay, but don't be too mean. He may want more kids in the future."

"We'll see."

AJ walked out the room. Paige, not wanting to be alone, decided to go walk around. She bumped into someone, and fell on the ground but was quite surprise she hadn't gotten hurt.

She looked up at the person she crashed into, and for the first time she wished Nikki was there, causing her to get hurt. Paige felt so small, as she sat on the ground in front of Sami Zayn. She could feel her blood turn cold, her breath got caught in her throat.

"Hello Paige," he said, a smirk on his face.

Paige stared at him, wide eyes. She looked around, not seeing anyone.

"Guess who's back?" Sami winked at her. "Miss me baby."

Paige couldn't answer. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest. What the hell was she going to do?

So, do you get it?

Eminem's Without Me

Guess Who's back, Back again
Shady's (Sami's) Back
Tell a Friend

Get it now? You were all over thinking it.

Anyways, you guys want Sami to be triple bombed, he will. He'll also be AA'd, Curbstombed, Dirty Deeded, Superman Punched, Lucky 13'd, and set in the Yes Lock. So yeah, don't you guys worry.

I think that's all I have to say. I screwed up, it was suppose to be Nikki and Brie vs Tamina and Naomi, but oh well. Paige and AJ have their match next.

Things will start to go down hill with this. And there is a key scene that will help in the future here.

And the Charlotte and Bayley scene is for crazyboi23. That'll probably be the only part, because I wont have time to go to them. And I'm not well knowledge with them as individual, worse as a pair.
