Author's Note: Obviously, I don't own these people. If I did, I wouldn't be sharing them with you. So don't sue me. The only things I even really own of any worth are this computer and an old Volvo. So...yeah. Please respond, just don't send reviews that say things like, "THIS STOREY SUX!" and not give any reasons. I'll ignore you. Otherwise, if you talk to me nicely, you'll be my friend forever. Cool? Okay, then let's shut up and get on with it.

Raven picked up his gym bag and sighed, opening the door to leave the locker room. It was his last night working with the WWE, and he had made his first appearance back on RAW after almost two years. He'd asked to have his contract bought out and was leaving for another company, with no fanfare, no parting moment. He was going to simply disappear from World Wrestling Entertainment television. He'd even had to lose his last match.
Things were so much different in ECW. He was so important there. He was the main-eventer, the man. And now? Just that weird guy that got banished to Sunday Night Heat.
Opening the door, he ran straight into someone who had been trying to walk up to the locker room. It only took him a second to realize it was his old ECW friend Miss Congeniality, now known in the WWE as Lita, known to her friends as Amy.
"I'm sorry Scott," she quickly apologized. "I just wanted to talk to you...you know...before you left."
He nodded, avoiding her eyes. He didn't want to see the hurt he was causing the friends he was leaving behind. It had been bad enough saying goodbye to Tommy Dreamer earlier...It would be nearly impossible to say the same to Amy.
Amy leaned down so she could look up into his face. "Don't avoid me. I wasn't going to let you leave without saying goodbye."
"I know," he murmured, saying as little as possible to keep himself from breaking down into tears. "I'm sorry."
Lita sighed and reached up to wrap her arms around her old friend in a tight hug. After a second, Raven dropped his bags and reached out as well to pull her towards him. They stood that way for a long moment, neither saying anything, and Amy felt two hot tears land on her bare shoulder. She leaned up, and kissed his cheek. They finally pulled away from one another.
"Let's go out somewhere tonight, okay?" Her brown eyes searched his gently. "Hang out one more time for old time's sake."
Scott nodded, and smiled a little sadly. "Yeah, I think we can do that."
"Great," she smiled beautifully at him, and they walked together out to the parking lot.
