.Two Weeks Later in Richmond, VA.

"Hey Aimes!" I said walking into our dressing room.

"Hey Marie, what's up?" she asked.

"Oh nothing much. Just got back from visiting Joe's girlfriend Kayla. She's out here visiting her parents. She wanted to come see the show so I dropped off a backstage pass and front row seats for her. She's pretty cool. I never really socialize with her, but she's fun," I explained.

"Oh well, that's cool. Vince was looking for you earlier. I think he wants to talk to you. So before you get ready to do anything you should go talk to him," Amy said.

"Okay, I'll be back later. See ya!" I said walking out into the hall way running into someone.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking…." I apologized realizing it was Jeff. "Hey Jeff."

"Hey, Amy in there?" he asked not looking at me.

"Yeah. So how's it going?" I asked. "I barely see you anymore."

"I know. That's for a reason. Anyways, see ya." he said walking into the dressing room.

"See ya," I said sadly. "I need to get over him."

Shaking Jeff from my head I went down the hall to Vince's makeshift office. Since I've been back I haven't really gotten any ring time in. Just story line. It's bothering me. I requested a meeting with him about it. I'm dying to get out in the ring again. I need to get back into the rush of the audience. So, hopefully that's what he wants to talk to me about. I headed down the hallways nodding when ever I seen a crew member. During the tapings of events I would sit backstage and watch. Jeff has been doing poorly in the ring. He denies it though. Everyone has been noticing the difference. Some people have even said that we're both really crabby without each other and difficult to work with. I wished it wasn't so, but there was nothing to do about it. Moving on is the best thing I can do to be a better person to work with.

.knock knock.

"Come in," Vince answered. "Yes, Marie. I need to speak with you."

"What about Vince?" I asked.

"About your request. I don't feel your mentally ready to do this," he explained.
"Excuse me, Mr. McMahon. If I am not mentally ready for this then why would I be back out here on the road. I am coping with my brothers death and I am doing great. Please, let me get back out there in the ring. I need some action. I'm like a ticking bomb, ready to explode!" I said.

"Marie, I understand. I am willing to put you back out there, but I'm not sure if you want to do what we have planned." he said.

"Mr. McMahon, I'm ready to do anything," I replied.

"Fine, let me run this by you to see if you want to do this," he paused. "Okay, Jeff has a match against Andrew (Test). Jeff is getting beat up pretty bad and you run out to help him. And whatever happens from there. Are you willing to do this?"

"I can do this. But this is a one time thing for Jeff and I right?" I asked.

"Sure. If you want it to be," Vince answered.

"Okay. Looks like I'm your girl for this then. When's Jeff match?" I inquired.

"During the first 45 minutes of the show," Vince replied.

"Okay, so what's my cue to go out?" I asked getting up from the chair.

"Andrew will set him up for the big boot and Jeff will duck in time and you'll run out. Okay?" Vince asked.

"Got it. Thanks Mr. McMahon," I confirmed.

After I left Vince's office I was so excited that I would have time to go out into the ring. While walking back to my dressing room I ran into Dwayne.

"Hey girlie. Slow it down," Dwayne laughed.

"Oh sorry Dwayne. I'm actually going out into the ring tonight, so I'm just a little excited," I smiled.

"Whoa, that's good. So who you up against?" he asked.

"Well, I'm not up against anyone. I'm going out to help Jeff when he's against Andrew," I said my smile disappearing from my face.

"I hope your not doing this because of Jeff." he replied.

"No Dwayne. Of course not. I'm doing this to prove to Vince that I am ready to get back out there. Okay?" I said.

"Okay Marie. Well, good luck." Dwayne said as he headed back down the hallway.

Once into mine and Amy's locker room I heated up my curling iron and got my clothes out. While the curling iron heated up I jumped in the shower. After my shower I got out and dried myself up and lotioned my body with Victoria's Secret's Lovespell. I put my patnent leather black pants and my black v-neck tank top that tied on the sides. The tank showed cleavage and I added a long silver cross necklace. I put my black heel shoes on and got up to dry my hair. Once I dried my hair I pulled it back slightly as for my hair not to be in my face while I did my make up. As I finished up with the finishing touches I put my pink tinted lip gloss. After I finished up my hair I curled and brushed it out and put hair spray on so it stays. Once I finished I looked in the mirror to double check. My golden brown hair (my friend Jason from high school called in Blondette. It was a mix of brown hair with blond in there. Sort of like a box of chocolates. Hehe) was nicely surrounding my face and in place. My outfit was well put together and I smelt great. Just as I was finishing up Jeff's match was underway. I left my dressing room and headed for the curtain. There was a chair waiting for me. Punches were exchanged and Jeff got in Whisper in the Wind. They went out of the ring a few times. Michael Cole was going on about how they were both great in the ring but anyone could clearly see that Jeff was doing horrible. They got back into the ring. Test clotheslined Jeff and as Jeff was getting up Test went for the big boot. Jeff ducked out. There was my cue. I ran down the ramp with the chair in hand. The crowed roared as I ran down to the ring. Andrew was turned around when I came in the ring and didn't notice. I hit him on the back of his head with the chair causing him to fall to canvas. The ref yelled at me telling me to get out. Just as Jeff went up for the Swanton and jumped Andrew grabbed my leg and laid me on top of him causing Jeff to land on me. I rolled out of the ring in pain as Test rolled Jeff up for the pin. I grabbed the side of my stomach as I walked up the ramp. When I walked behind the curtains people asked if I was alright. I said yea and that I'd be fine. Next thing I knew Jeff was backstage yelling at me.

"What the hell were you doing out there? I can take care of myself." He yelled.

"Damn it Jeff. Your sucking it up. I was only out there because Vince requested my being out there to help your ass!" I yelled back.

"Sure. That's what you want me to think." he yelled back.

"Damn it Jeff," I yelled slapping him across the cheek. "Stop acting like your holier than god and you don't need anyone. Wake up and smell the roses Jeff. You suck in the ring. You let me go and now you suck. Your ability got worse and from what I hear you yell at anyone who tries to talk to you about me. When will you learn you cant deal with things all by yourself. Because sooner or later your going to explode! And when you do your going to hurt everyone who has ever loved you. Like myself!"

"Whatever Marie. I'm sick of hearing you. I'm leaving here," he yelled.

"Fine! Go be a hermit crab for the rest of your life!" I yelled back.

I took a deep sigh. I looked around noticing that Andrew had came back when Jeff and I were arguing. The crew members had cleared out and left.

"Oh hey Andrew. Sorry you had to see that," I said.

"I'm sorry you even have to put up with his shit. It's not fair of him to treat you like that. You were only doing your job. I for one know you were telling the truth. He should probably listen to you more often." Andrew laughed.

"Well, thanks. But I mean, I guess I'm still not over him. I don't think I ever will be," I sighed.

"I understand. Come on, let me take you out to dinner and we can talk about it then. Sound good?" he suggested.

"Sounds great. Let me get changed and freshen up," I said.
"Okay. I'll be at your dressing room in a half hour. Okay?" he asked.

"Yeah. That's great. See ya then." I said as I left to go to my dressing room.

On my adventures back to the room I seen Kayla wandering around. She was probably looking for me.

"Hey Kayla, why aren't you out there watching the show?" I asked walking up to her.

"Well, I came to check up on you. Looked like it hurt. You okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Just had an argument with Jeff when he got backstage. Andrew, the guy he was wrestling, heard it all. Pretty embarrassing. But Andy's taking me out to dinner. Did you want to tag along?" I asked.

"Oh no. I was going to leave anyways. I only came to see you in action. Well, I hope you have fun with Andy. Don't get too involved. He seems pretty um, well, rough." she giggled.

"No no. That's just the whole Test image. But really he's a big sweetheart. Once you get to know him and all," I laughed.

"Well, that's good to hear. I'll talk to you later and I'll be sure to tell Joe you say Hi. I'm outs babe. It was nice seeing you," she said as she hugged me.

"Nice seeing you too. I'll see you around," I said.

When I got to the dressing room Amy wasn't there. She was probably roaming the halls with Matt causing trouble. As I was packing my things up I decided to leave what I had on, figuring Andy would probably take me out to a club or a bar. I didn't mind considering I need to get out and have some fun. Andy showed up exactly a half hour later. As we were walking down the hallway we seen Jeff walking with Tori. A twinge of jealousy went over his face. As for me, I felt it but I sure as hell did not show it. We got in Andy's car and I was right, he was taking me to a bar. When we got into the bar we grabbed a booth and sat down. I ordered a cheeseburger and Andy ordered the same. We sat there talking about nothing really. Just having fun. Of course I was acting really stupid. It was getting pretty close to Christmas time so I've been watching some Christmas movies. I was telling Andy that just because Frosty can talk doesn't mean that we have to turn him into some scientific medical experiment. He just started laugh. I was laughing myself. Soon other WWF superstars had joined us. It also just so happened to be Karaoke night. They all encouraged me to go up. So I said okay but someone had to pick out a song for me to sing. Andy and a few others looked at the selection of songs and laughed as they picked out a song for me and wrote it down on the napkin and handed it the guy.

"All right little missy. Get your booty up there and sing!" Adam said.

"What song did you guys pick out???" I asked.

"You'll see now, go up there!" Andy pushed me.

"Fine fine." I sighed.

As I got up on stage all the people I knew and the other people clapped and cheered. The next thing I knew Britney Spears' "Slave 4 U" was playing. I couldn't believe it. I knew all the words, but it was just embarrassing!

"Haha, funny guys! This is for you Andrew" I said into the microphone.

Well I was singing the song and walking around stage and doing my belly dancing the door opened and in walked Jeff with Tori in hand. I took a big gulp and continued to sing. I got down off stage with the mic in hand walked up to Andrew and gave him a lap dance while still singing. Jeff seen me and I didn't give a damn, he hurt me and now it was my turn to hurt him. As the song ended I wrapped my arms around Andrew's neck and kissed him on the lips. Our group of friends oohed and awed at us. Adam took the mic from my hand and handed it to the guy on stage. Andrew and I continued our kiss. Soon we stopped and I just smiled at him, he smiled back.
