Natalie lay on their hotel bed as Adam paced back and forth panicking while Shane tried to calm him.
'I should have realised!' he said, bashing his fists against his head, 'I should have stopped her a
long time ago!'. 'Man, she's mental! What were you gonna do, deck her?' Shane said. 'Maybe. I hate
her enough right now.' Adam said, looking over at the alarm clock, 'But man, it's 9pm. You got a
meeting... now.'. Shane left in a hurry and Natalie hung her head in shame. 'I'm sorry, Adam, I
really am. It's OK, they said my back was OK. But I shouldn't have gone after her. I was just real
angry, and I've never felt that way before. I should have controlled it, I know, but...'.
He silenced her with a finger to her lips. 'If I was you, I would have hit her with my handbag.' - she
giggled - 'And I know you were upset. Anyone in your position would be. But you've gotta be careful.
Not for her, but for me. Because I hate it when you're hurt, and your back is almost healed. Hit it
again and you're screwed for another few weeks.'. She giggles and hugs him, 'Not exactly screwed. It
hurts too much with my bad back.'. He laughed and they kissed.
The next day, Shane rang Adam to check Natalie was OK. Nidia had tried to get into his room the night
before, but he'd shooed her away before she did anything stupid. Natalie got up and had breakfast at
a cafe with Adam then headed back to the arena. Vince approached her in the corridor. 'Natalie!' he called
out, walking down to speak to her. 'Mr McMahon, hi.' she said, praying he had no idea. 'Now Natalie, I
know your back is sore', he said, 'But I was wondering if you could walk down to ringside without help.'
Natalie looked confused, 'You want me to valet? I guess I could get down there, but I'd have to sit down
or something...'. 'Oh no!' Mr McMahon said, reassuring her, 'It's just Jerry's off sick, and I wondered
if you could color commentate tonight. But we get you down there before the show, y'know, with Adam to
help you.'. 'Cool!' she gushed, beaming, 'I'll go tell Adam.'.
Adam and Shane helped her down to the commentator's table, and she met JR. Some of the fans behind her wanted
autographs, and she obligingly signed for them all. The first match was Al Snow vs. Hugh Morrus, a dark match.
Pretty boring. But then onto the real matches. It was the Hardy Boyz w/ Lita vs. Chuck & Billy, which was cool
to commentate on. She had to remember to be non-biast, though her and Amy were friends. Then it was Dean Malenko
vs. Chris Benoit, which, despite it's competitors, was nothing fabulous. But then Natalie got the biggest
shock of all. Nidia vs. Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie. The second Nidia's shape came into the light from the
titantron, Natalie clenched her fists and went quiet. 'And here we have our first competitor, Nidia, coming
down the ramp. Do you think she can pull this off Natalie?' JR said. 'Natalie?'. 'Oh, uh...yeah, JR, I'm not
sure. I think Torrie and Dawn have been training hard.'. She went back to glaring at Nidia, who waved slightly at
her. The match went on, Dawn threw Nidia out of the ring. Natalie laughed, still backing Torrie and Dawn, and Nidia
didn't take it kindly. She slammed her fists on the commentator's desk, and screamed at her. Nidia turned back round,
and Natalie pulled off her headset. Nidia's eyes widened as she turned and saw her. They stared each other down
for a few moments, then were distracted by the sound of the bell - Torrie had got the win. Nidia turned back to
her. 'Happy now, you bitch?' she said. Natalie laughed. 'If I'm the bitch, how come you're the one sending notes and
trying to crawl into Shane's bed at 1 in the morning?'. Nidia slapped her right across the face, and Natalie slapped
her back. Nidia speared her to the floor and Natalie cried out in pain because of her back. Adam ran down the ramp, and
Nidia grabbed a steel chair, taking him out with. And this was a proper chairshot, she didn't even angle the shot so as
not to hurt him. Nidia pulled up Natalie so she was leaning on the crowd barrier. She climbed to the ring apron and went
for the Missile Dropkick, but Torrie grabbed her, choking her against the ropes. Nidia slammed her down, and grabbed
Natalie. She kneed her hard in the stomach, then speared her again. Security ran down and split them all up before it
could go any further. EMTs carried Natalie away...
