Jacy's view
"Hey Matt?" I asked as we sat in the arena meeting room, waiting for Jeff and Vince McMahon.
"Yeah, Jace?"
"What's with Jeff?"
"What do you mean?" He said, turning to face me. "Is he sick?"
"No…I mean, he's acting different. More different than he's ever been."
"How so?"
"Yesterday, at the bar…he asked me if I wanted to run away and get married. He said because we were in Las Vegas. I thought he was kidding but I think he was really serious."
"What did you tell him?"
"I told him he was crazy. The only way I would get married would be at Cherry Hill Temple with a Shinto Priest. Preferably Rei-chan."
"Maybe he was serious or maybe he wanted to know where you stand in your relationship."
"But most of the time, we don't think past dinner. Why would he start caring about the future now?"
"Maybe Jeff just wants to."
"I want to what?" Jeff interrupted, kissing me before sitting down.
"Nothing, my Jeff." I said, looking at Matt. Jeff looked from me to Matt, who just shrugged. Jeff opened his mouth to say something, but just then, Mr. McMahon walked in and his presence demanded our attention.
"So! How is everyone doing?" Vince boomed across the room. "Good! Because right now, I don't care! First off, I want to congratulate Hunter and my daughter, Stephanie on their engagement. HHH, she still is my daughter! Hurt her and you get hurt! Secondly, I want to say 'good job' to the Hardyz on their performance on RAW on Monday, December 17, 2001. You did well. Made the scene very believable. Third, I want to say that the Hardyz will reunite and Jacy will be added to Team Xtreme as Jeff's girlfriend and/or singles manager. I haven't decided on that. Jacy is still a face and with her help, the Hardyz will obtain tag-team gold! Fourth, Undertaker will lose the Hardcore championship title to Hurricane Helms, when Rikishi interferes to get Taker back for his injuries. Fifth, this is all I have planned for January, so far. So if you have any questions, come ask me or Stephanie or Ric or Jacy. Questions?"
"Sir?" I said, raising my hand.
"Jacy!"
"Why should they ask me questions? I have no clue."
"If you are in America, you are a McMahon! You have no other parents and you need them. You maybe twenty-four but all people should have parents. Now if you don't mind, come up here and sign your adoption papers."
"Sir? I have parents. The Tsukinos, remember?"
"I know that! I was joking! You know, ha ha? You are still a McMahon on screen so you need to know all of this."
"Oh. Ok." I said, sitting back down still in my state of confusion.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Jeff? Come here!" I yelled, across the hall from the Diva's dressing room. I was getting ready for the night's taping of Smackdown!
"Coming!" he yelled, stepping out of Team Xtreme's room, pulling on his 'battle gear' at the same time. "Yeah?" he asked, sticking is head into the room.
"Will you zip me up?" I asked, giving him a puppy dog face.
"Is this what you wanted me for?" He asked with a chuckle. He zipped up my dress and wrapped his arms around me. "I love you, Jacy. I love you with all my heart and soul."
"I love you too, Jeff." I said, turning to face him. We stayed there for a while; just him and me in each other's arms…in pure happiness.
"Jeff?" Matt asked, looking into the room. "Am I interrupting something?"
"No." Jeff said, giving me a quick kiss. "I'll see you in the ring in a bit." He said to me and followed Matt out of the room.

TV viewer's view, listening to JR and King
"Oh my god, King! Did you just see that? Undertaker just about took Matt Hardy's head off with that chair!" JR screamed into his microphone.
"Look! Here comes Jeff Hardy out to the ring! What is he doing? He has a chair!" King yelled in reply as Jeff made his way to the ring, a steel chair in hand. Jeff took the chair and pounded the Undertaker over the head. "He's helping his brother! Look! Team Xtreme is working together!"
"Or maybe this is Jeff's way of getting revenge for what Taker did to him and Lita last Monday night!" The American Badass laid out cold after a few minutes of Jeff and Matt beat on him. Jeff and Matt just stared at each other with hatred in their eyes for several cold hard seconds. As they were doing so…Christian, who dislikes both Matt and Jeff came out through the crowd and crept up to the ring. Suddenly the lights went out and then there was a flash of red radiance and the lights came back on. Christian was in the ring, doubled over, Jacy standing behind him on her knee. "Oh my god! King! Jacy McMahon just low-blow Christian!"
"She did! She just low-blow him!" Both Hardyz continued to stare at one another and all of a sudden, Matt pulled Jeff close for a hug! "The Hardy Boyz are hugging! The Boyz are back together!" Lita made her way down to the ring and reunited with Matt and celebrated with the boyz. Jacy looked at them all and smile. She climbed out of the ring and headed back up the ramp. Jeff looked at her and called her back. She just waved and continued to the back. Jeff went after her and grabbed her. She spun around and was caught in Jeff's embrace. The show went to commercial with Jeff and Jacy kissing.
