OK that seemed a bit out of the ordinary. Hunter calling me that early I mean. Something just didn't clique I guess. Hmmm, oh well. Going to the gym with Hunter. God most girls dream about this, and here I am going. It's going to be a beautiful day indeed. I grabbed my gym bag and headed out the door when I seen Chris walking down the hall towards the elevators.

"Goodmorning Chris." I smiled.

"Hey Trish how are you? Hitting the gym already eh? So determined."

"Yeah, this helps me with the day." Gosh I'm making it seem I struggle in life. I couldn't help but laugh. "Hunter and I are going together."

He looked at me like I said something wrong. "Your going to the gym with Hunter? You mean Stephanie allows that?" he laughed.

"Why wouldn't she? We're just friends. We might go over the storyline a little. You know how Hunter is. He tends to make everything perfect and puts his heart and soul into everything. Where are you off to so early anyway?"

"Having a bite to eat with the Princess" he looked down at his watch. "And if I don't get down there, the princess will be bitching since this was my idea to meet up, you know for storyline purposes?"

I bit down on my tongue. "Yeah storyline purposes. Have a good day Chris."

"You too Trish, take it easy at the gym."

I should've gotten on the elevator with him, but I forgot something I needed in my bag. I went back to the room and grabbed it before heading down.

When I got off the elevator I seen Hunter standing over near the front desk. He must have been checking his messages. I walked over to him.

"Hey"

"Hey you all ready? I was just getting some directions to the nearest gym. We're in luck. It doesn't open to the public until 10:00. So we should get a good 45 minutes in before we get noticed. Wanna take my car or you wanna drive?"

"No, I'll tag with you. Ready?"

We walked out the back entrance of the hotel and got in his rental. As soon as he started up the car he pulled out a CD case from his bag in the back. "Gotta have some good wake up music before you hit the gym. It sorda pumps you up - gets you in the mood."

"Since when do you need to 'be in the mood' to go to the gym? Your like the king of workouts." I laughed. I peaked over to his CD case. "Got anything good in here?"

"You be the judge. Take a look, you can pick."

I browsed through his CD collection. He had some good taste. I thought for sure he would have some boring music. "How about Kid Rock? I love the new cd, I bought in while we were in LA a few weeks ago."

"Yeah slide it in. I didn't get the chance to hear the whole thing yet."

I put the disc in and played track number 4 -- Cocky. If that wasn't pump up music, I don't know what was. Silence found it's way to the car as he drove. I looked over at him a few times, he was singing low to the lyrics. The sun was glistening on his face and his hair. He looked at me and smiled.

"So Stratus, think you can hang with the Game?"

"You do remember before I became a WWF employee, fitness was my number one thing?"

"Oh the hundreds of magazine covers you were on. I know, so did most of the boys. I mean half of them couldn't stop talking about you coming into the company. Who doesn't know the name Trish Stratus?" he grinned. "I'm only joking."

"It's cool, I'm flattered."

Lonely Road of Faith started playing. I loved this song, it was deep and sung from the heart.

i'Up and down that lonely road of faith, I have been there Unprepared for the storms and the tides that rise, I've realized one thing, how much I love you And it hurts to see, see you cryin' I believe we can make it through the winds of change' /i

"You got a great voice there Trish."

I realized I was singing outloud. How embarrassing can this get? "Thanks, when I was little I wanted to be a singer. My Mom always told me to follow through with it, and then I got into medicine and we all know where that led now."

"I think that's the gym over there, yep it is."

He turned the car into the parking lot and parked. We both got out grabbing our bags and headed in. The man at the front desk welcomed us and let us know the facility was ours for about 45 minutes.

"I'll be out in a bit Hunter. I usually start my workout by hitting the sauna."

"Ok, I'll be over there working the upper body, come get me when your done. I can spot you."

"What makes you think I need you to spot me?"

"Trish you may think your superwomen but your like what 5'4, 120 pounds? These things can kill you!"

"I know, I know. My personal trainer says the same thing all the time. Jackie usually spots me, so I guess you have to take her place today Hunter." I grinned and walked over to the sauna.

"I guess so........"
