"Yeah?" Shane answered his ringing cell phone the next morning. It was seven in the morning, Shane just wanted to sleep. He had porpously booked a later flight so he could get some rest. Now some asshole ruined it by calling him.

"She said yeah." Matt said.

"What?" Shane asked and sat up. He swung his feet over the side of the hard hotel bed and rubbed his eyes.

"I asked Modesty last night and she said she'd love to meet up with you and Shannon again."

"She did?" Shane asked, a little more excited then he meant to.

"Yeah." Matt sighed.

"Hey don't sound so sad man. I mean we'll finally get to see each other again. It's been what? Months?"

"Three weeks dude."

"Oh." Shane laughed. "Anyways thank you for asking man."

"Yeah whatever. But it's up to you to arrange everything. I asked, I'm done with it. The only other thing I'm going to do is show up."

"Matt, dude, don't sound so pissed. We're all friends, right bro?"

"Yeah, we're all friends. Which is why I'll say this 'bro', mess with Modesty and you'll have me to deal with."

"Matt." Shane laughed and was going to say more but Matt hung up. Shane shrugged. That didn't matter. Soon he'd see his Modesty again.

"Damian can you help me zipper this?" Modesty asked and turned her back to Damian. Damian smiled and zippered up her short, tight, black leather dress.

"There ya go." He said. "You smell really good." He commented. Modesty turned around and smiled.

"Thank you. It's vanilla." She answered.

"I love vanilla." He smiled. She tilted her head and smiled.

"You know that Goth look is really hott."

"Yes I know it is. I can tell by looking at you." He said. She giggled.

"I was talking about you."

"Time for you two to go out there!" Jeff yelled as he burst into their dressing room. Damian and Modesty jumped.

"Oh, um, thanks Jeff." Modesty said. Jeff nodded and smiled.

"That was a great match!" Shannon exclaimed.

"THAT FUCKING SUCKED!" Shane screamed at the same time.

"How did that suck? Modesty's a great wrestler! Of course Damian is too but that was Modesty's first match and man she ruled it! That was awesome!" Shannon exclaimed again.

"Yeah she is a great wrestler and that was an awesome match but she kissed him! Modesty kissed Damian after the match! Did you not see that?"

"Um, Shane, it's an act. Just like we're not really a boy band. And if they are really involved with each other shouldn't you be happy she's out playing the field again? I mean I wasn't with you guys back then but from what I've heard and gathered you treated her pretty badly-"Evan was cut off by Shane.

"THAT'S RIGHT EVAN! YOU WEREN'T THERE! Therefore you shouldn't go off running your damn mouth!"

"Whoa Shane chill man. I was only saying that if you two are friends, or WERE friends; shouldn't you be happy IF she's in a relationship? I mean we don't even know if she really IS. It could be an act."

"Shut up Evan! Seriously!"

"He's right Shane."

"Shannon? Where the hell did you come from?"

"I don't know. I was just voicing my opinion." Shannon answered.

"Well maybe you shouldn't."

"This is America Shane. He's entitled to his own opinion, just like you are. Maybe you should tone down the attitude a bit." Billy Kidman said from the other side of the room. Shane glared at him.

"I don't have an attitude!" He snapped and stormed out.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Modesty you know you didn't have to agree to that little get together right?" Matt asked when Modesty was backstage. Modesty smiled and got a bottle of water.

"I know that Matty. I want to. I miss Shannon and Shane."

"Ok but you can back out at any time. We won't get mad."

"Matt are you ok? I can take care of myself. I'm a big girl."

"A big girl who has gotten hurt! Modesty, I care for you, really. I was so sad when you moved away and didn't keep contact. Now that you're back I don't want you to leave again. Shane hurt you. You know that. I know that. We all know that. If you see him he could hurt you again. I don't want that to happen. And since I asked you to go, and if you do get hurt again, I'm going to feel responsible."

"Matt its ok. I won't get hurt. I promise. Don't worry so much. You might get wrinkles and ruin the Hardy Boyz sex appeal." Modesty said and lightly whacked Matt off the head with her water bottle. Matt gave her a weak smile. Modesty smiled and walked away.

"Shane what the hell is your problem?" Evan asked and ran to catch up with the walking Shane.

"I don't have any problems."

"Shane! You almost killed Rey out there! Do you know how many spots you blotched? How many mistakes you made? You could have seriously injured Rey out there!" Shannon exclaimed and tapped Shane on the shoulder. Shane stopped walking.

"Of course Shannon you're perfect. Aren't you?" He asked. Shannon shook his head.

"No. No I'm not. And that's not what I meant."

"You think I don't know I made mistakes? Shannon I've made a lot of mistakes. I don't need you to remind me every two fucking seconds!"

"Shane chill man! He was talking about what you did out there!"

"EVAN! WHO THE HELL WAS TALKING TO YOU?"

"Fuck you Shane! Seriously! I've been sick and tired of your attitude! But I haven't said anything. Forget it. I'm tired of this. What's up? What's got you so pissed off all of a sudden?" Evan asked. Shane leaned against the wall.

"Like you really care."

"I do Shane. You know what? You're scared of emotions. People actually care about you and that scares you. Doesn't it?" Evan asked, sounding like a younger Amy. Shane screamed and pushed Evan against the wall.

"DON'T YOU EVER FUCKING SAY THAT AGAIN!" He screamed and was about to punch Evan but Shannon caught his arm. Finally security and the other wrestlers separated Shane and Evan.

"Shane, why don't you take a few weeks off to cool down?" Eric Bischoff asked.

"Fine." Shane answered, grabbed his bag and walked out of the arena.
