Your living in the past

"Okay, so if I come out from that door and go through the crowd there, the camera wouldn't see me until I actually jump in the ring, right?" Casey asked the stage hand satnding beside her.

"Yeah, thats right, it would give a good effect especially to the t.v. Audience." Jim told her, tracing the outline of her appearance route on the arena floor plan.

"All right, well thats where i'll come out then. Thanks for your help."

"No problem, and good luck with the debut!" He told her, shaking Casey's hand.

"Thanks, I gotta run, see ya later!"

Casey jogged off down the hall, trying to find a specific locker room. It had been two weeks since she first arrived in the wwf, and tonight was her bog debut. She and Jazz had already settled things between them and were becoming really good friends. They had a killer feud going on when Case left ECW, and it would be great to finally finish it.

Knocking on the door, she stepped inside after being called in.

"I am here to see his royal highness, King Edgeworth!" Casey told Jay, who had opened the door. She bowed down, trying not to crack up as she did.

"Your Highness, you have a visitor." Jay told Adam, playing along.

"Well, who is it servant Jay?" Adam asked, laughing at everyone.

"It's maid Casey, your highness!"

"Well, send the lowly servant in.!" He told them, trying not to laugh too much.

"Tell me you didn't just say that Sucka!!" Casey told Adam, doing her best Booker T impersonation.

"Oh no, not you too, one Booker T is enough, Case." Jeff told her, laughing at her impersonation. If there was ever a girl that could impersonate any wrestler, it was Casey. She spent way too much time watching and studying catchphrases.

"Ha ha Hardly Boy, your just jealous that you can't do it as good as me." She said, looking at Jeff, poking her tongue out at him.

"Really, well, i'm not even going to compete with you, oh dorky one!" Jeff shot back at her, laughing like a little kid.

" Ohhh, now theres trouble, you nerd!" Casey laughed at her lame comeback as her and Jeff started tickling each other.

"Mercy, mercy, I give up, I cant breathe, god I cant breathe!" She surrendered, holding up her hands.

"Haha, of course, nobody survives Jeff Hardy!" Jeff proclaimed, lifting his hands, which were shaking with his laughter.

He stopped his celebration when his buckled to the ground, only after Casey had punched his thigh, giving him a dead leg.

"I cant feel my leg!" Jeff told her, holding it tenderly.

"Oh well, you'll get over it!" Casey told him, knowing it wasn't as bad as he was letting on.

The whole room erupted with laughter as they watched Jeff crawl to the lougne, dragging his leg behind him.

"So, what brings you by Case?" Adam asked her, wiping his eyes from laughing at Jeff.

"Nothin' much, just thought I would say hello to my buddies."

"Aaaw, sweet.So, excited about tonight?" Amy asked her, cuddling up to Matt.

"Yeah, im stoked, I cant wait!! You think it will look good?" She asked them, worry evident in her voice.

"Totally, it's so gonna reek of awesomeness!" Jay told her, laughing at himself.

"Thanks, I suppose, I mean, it's going to be pose-itively awesome!" Casey told him, laughing.

"Hey, dont steal our lines woman! Haha!" Adam told her, laughing at his friend.

They sat their for a while until Rob came in and stole Casey away, wanting to take her out for lunch before the show was set up.

After being nagged that he never took the rest of the group out, the two finally left the arena, driving to a diner in Rob's rental car. They sat in the car in comfortable silence, listening to the radio and looking at the scenery. Or, at least Casey was, Rob was concentrating on the road, trying to keep his eyes off the beautiful young vixen beside him.

They reached the diner quickly, ordering food that would probably send them to the gym for the next month, but they didn't really care. They chatted about this and that, all the non important stuff. It felt like old times, times when Casey didn't have to worry about the feelings she had for Rob, or the fact that Scott said he returned those feelings for her. Everything was so confusing right now, she wished she could be 18 again, not really caring about much except who she was afcing that night.

After they had finished their meal and were waiting for the bill, they just sat their chatting about any girlfriends or boyfriends they hadn't known about since they last spoke, and at that moment, Casey said the one thing she had been wanting to tell Rob for the past 4 years.

"Nah, no new boys, im still waiting for you." As she said it, her mouth was covered by her hand, horror flashing across her face. Rob just sat their, looking dumb founded, a look of disbelief and joy mixing in his eyes. He was about to tell her how he felt, when Casey started before him.

"I'm sorry, I, I dont know why I just said that! I'm sorry, god, how stupid can I get?" Casey said, not looking him in the eyes, afraid to show him the tears in hers.

How could she be so stupid? She just told her best friend that she loved him, and pretty much always had, and he was looking at her like she was E.T the alien.

"Case, dont apologise, I just wasn't expecting that, look, please look at me, we have to talk." Rob tried to plead with Casey, who refused to look at him.

"Just take me tot he arena, please."

That was the last thing she said to Rob, other than the thank you she mumbled when they reached the arena, right before she ran off inside. Rob just stood there watching as she ran away from him, the rain starting to hurt when it hit his head. Heading inside, trying to figure out what just happened, he only had one thought.

"How the hell am I going to fix this one?"
