4 Extreme

"I'm sorry, what?" Akasha almost stammered. Ric smiled and repeated his previous sentence, "You want me to do this why?" Akasha asked, stunned with the request. Ric explained his plan and slowly Akasha realized how right it sounded. Ric gave her a little time to think about her decision and then let him know. Over the last eight months that Akasha had been in the Federation she had come a long way. She had already been on a Main Event Pay Per View at Summer Slam. The first Mixed TLC Match in the history of the WWF. The success of that match had been huge, Bubba Ray Dudley and Trish Stratus vs. Jeff Hardy and Akasha. The match had gone on for over twenty minutes and so many tables had been broken, chairs were dented and ladders had been set up over and over again. In the end Akasha landed a Swanton Bomb off a fifteen foot ladder onto Trish who was over a table and then won the match, needless to say she had knocked herself stupid but she managed to celebrate all night with her gang of friends. Her merchandise had taken off too. 'Living Dead Girl' shirts and even ones with her Demon tattoo on the back. She had also made the cover of RAW magazine with Lita and the Hardy Boyz. 'Xtreme Dead Girl' was a huge seller. What Ric was proposing would leave her 'Dead Girl' status in the past and take on a totally new look.

"Hey dude!" Matt called as she came out of Ric's office towards the end of RAW that night. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her down the hall, "Are you drunk Matt?" She asked, laughing as he almost skipped down the hall. He shrugged, "Three beers a while ago." "Then why are you so happy?" "Do I need a reason?" He asked, still cheerfully, "Of course not Matt, you're just always so focused on something in particular." Akasha stated as they rounded a corner towards the Hardy Boyz' locker room, "Well maybe I know why Ric asked you into his office. What would you say to that?" Akasha laughed, "I would say you were pressing your ear against the door." Matt laughed with a shrug, "Well I don't know. But we're all going out tonight and you, of course are coming too." By that time they had reached the Hardy Boyz' locker room and the two walked in. "Hey Akasha." Lita said as she came out of the showers, ready for a night out. Matt let go of Akasha and she flopped down into one of their bean bags, "Hey, I was sitting there." Jeff said as he came in the door, "Well I can't get up even if I wanted too, my ass is lost in this thing!" Akasha said desperately. They all laughed at her and Jeff hauled her out of the bean bag.

"So what did Ric want to see you about?" Jeff asked as he and Akasha sat at the bar together at about 11:00pm. Everyone else was dancing and hanging all around the place but Akasha and Jeff hadn't moved, "Well, he wants me to join Team Xtreme." Jeff's eyes widened, "Really?" He asked curiously. "Yeah. But I don't know why really. I mean they say three's a crowd so what's four?" "An even number of women is to men and a hell of a lot of fun!" Jeff's replied with a big grin, "You asked him didn't you?" Akasha asked slowly. Jeff's smile didn't fade and Akasha shook her head, "Why?" She asked, "Cause we all go so well together! We're a team any way you look at it so why not just join Team Xtreme and give the fans what they want?" Akasha sipped her drink and thought about it, "What makes you think the fans want it?" She asked, putting her drink back down and turning to face him completely, "Didn't you see the poll on WWF.com?" Akasha shook her head, "I haven't been online in a while." She replied, "Well, they asked if they wanted Akasha to join Team Xtreme, 'yes' or 'no'. ninety-seven percent said 'yes' Akasha." Akasha's eyes were rather wide, "But we're talking a full make over here. Clothes and style are a hard thing to change and have people like Jeff." He frowned at her, "Since when do you think of outcomes? What ever happened to your 'Live For The Moment' attitude I love?" Akasha smiled again, he always made her feel better about a situation, "I'll think about it." She replied.

"Matt! Matt please, can I ask you about this new member that we've heard about?" Terri asked as Matt exited his locker room. He stopped and with a smile nodded, "Sure, shoot." "Well, we've all heard that there's going to be a new member to Team Xtreme. There's been promos for the past week about it. Is this person going to replace Lita?" Matt's face screwed up, "No, of course not! They're just going to add onto Team Xtreme." "Going to clue us in as to who it may be or when they're going to come out with you?" Matt shook his head with a big smile, "It's a surprise." Terri nodded, "Well we look forward to seeing who is going to add into your amazing team." Matt nodded and left the area. The Hardy Boyz music came on soon after and Matt, Jeff and Lita came out, "See any new members J.R?" King asked his partner as they welcomed Akasha out, "Nope, just Akasha, as usual King." "Ah damn, I wanna know who the new member is." Akasha's coat buttoned down to her hips and she began to undo the buttons but held the coat shut, "Oh my god, she's stripping J.R!" King shouted excitedly, "I'm real happy for you." J.R replied sarcastically, "Hang on. No she's." Akasha ripped the coat off her and to everyone's loud cheering, she revealed she was the new member of Team Xtreme. She had a green baby t- shirt on with the group's new logo, '4 Extreme' on it. On the back it had cartoon characters of all four of them. She had black nets down one arm and bright purple cargo pants. All of them, now a team walked down to the ring.
