Missed Chances

Chapter 4

*May 2002*

"Hey… yeah, I'll be there in a little while. Love you too."

"Rob, wait up."

Turning around, Rob smiled at Jeff Hardy, waiting til Jeff had caught up with him before he resumed walking. "Hey, what's up?"

Shaking his rainbow colored head, Jeff shrugged. "Bored, you?"

"Getting ready to go visit Stacy."

"Ah." Jeff said with a nod, now understanding why Rob had a grin plastered on his face. "Are you gonna go visit her while she's doing the Smackdown taping, or waiting til after?"

"I'm going now, so I'll be there while they're taping."

"Awesome. Hey, did you hear about the new Diva that just got signed?"

"No." Stopping, Rob looked over at Jeff, suddenly curious. "Who is she?"

"I dunno. I just heard that a new Diva got signed. I heard her name, but I forgot."

"Oh. Well, I'm gonna go. I'll catch you later."

"Later man."

*~*~*~*~*

"No, I haven't seen her yet, I'm looking forward to it."

"Yeah Stace, I think she's from ECW, but for some reason I can't remember her name."

Nodding at Torrie, Stacy shrugged. "We'll find out soon enough, she's supposed to be here tonight, right?"

"Yeah."

"Stace!"

Recognizing the voice, Stacy turned around and smiled. "Hey." She greeted, walking into the embrace Rob had waiting for her.

"What's up?"

Shaking her head, Stacy placed a small kiss on Rob's cheek. "Nothing. What about you?"

"Not much. I heard there was gonna be a new Diva around here. Is she Raw or Smackdown?"

"I think Smackdown, but I don't remember who she is. I heard her name, but I forgot."

"Oh." Shaking the thoughts from his head, Rob turned back to Stacy. "Do you wanna go get something to eat before you start taping?"

"Yeah." Stacy agreed.

Grabbing her hand, Rob started walking, feeling the need to leave the building. Right as they walked out the door, a brunette woman walked casually out of Vince McMahon's office, happy to finally have a job in the WWE.

*~*~*~*~*

"Stace, come on, you're segment is next."

Kissing Rob on the cheek, Stacy stood up and walked out of the locker room, leaving Rob and Adam Copeland alone in the room. "Hey…" Adam started.

"Huh?"

"You guys look really happy together."

"Yeah." Rob agreed. "I'm happy to have her, she means a lot to me."

"You mean a lot to her too. You're all she ever talks about."

Grinning, Rob leaned back on the couch. "Of course she always talks about me. I'm RVD."

"HAHA!"

Turning towards the door, Rob and Adam shook their heads as Chris Irvine and Jay Reso walked in the room, followed by Andrew Martin, who just stood quietly by the door.

"Hey Rob." Drew greeted, hoping that he and Rob could put the past behind them. Something told him Rob wouldn't forgive and forget that easily.

"Hey." Rob replied solemnly. He didn't feel like starting a fight with Drew. After what happened with Stacy, the two would never be good friends, but they didn't have to hate each other either.

Noting the awkward silence, Jay tried to lighten the mood. "So… what are you guys doing later?"

"Going home." Adam and Chris said at the same time, causing them both to laugh.

"Me too." Jay agreed. "What about you Drew?"

"Probably the same."

"Rob?"

"It's up to Stacy, I do what she wants."

"Cause you're her bitch." Chris remarked, dodging from the smack that came his way from Rob. "Damn, why does everyone try to hit me?"

"Cause you're an ass?" Adam suggested.

"Haha." Chris replied sarcastically.

"I am not her bitch, I just care about what she thinks and I like to make her happy. This would be one of the reasons your wife stays at home as much as possible."

Looking at Rob with a confused looked on his face, Chris scratched his chin. "What do you mean?"

"He means you're an ass." Jay explained casually.

"Why is everyone being so mean to me. I give up." Pouting like a kid, Chris stood up and quickly walked out the door, almost knocking Stacy over.

Walking in the room, Stacy sat down on Rob's lap and looked over at Drew with an uneasy look in her eyes. "What was that all about?" She questioned, pointing out the door.

"Chris being Chris." Rob explained, placing a small kiss on Stacy's collarbone, to which she giggled softly. "So… are you done here?"

Nodding, Stacy raked her fingers through her hair. "Yup, we can go if you want."

"Alright, you go grab your stuff and I'll meet you in a few minutes."

Smiling and nodding, Stacy stood up. "I'll see you in a little while." Glancing at Drew once more, she turned and walked out of the room.

*~*~*~*~*

"Stace, you leaving with Rob?"

Nodding at Torrie, Stacy slung her bag over her left shoulder. "Yeah, since I'm done for the night, we're gonna go hang out. He's only gonna be here for tonight. He's leaving tomorrow afternoon."

"Aw, that must suck." Torrie said sympathetically. "That's why I'm glad Pete's here with me."

Nodding, Stacy couldn't help but roll her brown eyes a little. Sure, her and Torrie were friends, but she could get a little annoying and catty at times.

"Well, speaking of Pete, I have to go see him, I miss him."

"You miss him? You saw him five minutes ago."

"Yeah, but I still miss him. I'll just see you later. Have fun with Rob."

"Yeah." Stacy replied, shaking her head as Torrie left the room. Grabbing her light jacket, Stacy hoisted her bag further up on her shoulder as she exited the room. Spotting Rob from behind, she quickened her step and walked up to him.

"Hey." He said, turning around when he spotted her out of the corner of his eye. "Ready to go?"

"Yup." Stacy said with a smile. "Let's get out of here. I'm hungry, wanna go to dinner?"

Nodding, Rob grabbed Stacy's bag and slung it over his free shoulder, the other one already holding his bag.

"Hey guys, wait!"

Recognizing the voice, Stacy turned around, smiling at Stephanie McMahon. "Hey Steph."

"Hey Stace, hey Rob. Before you guys leave, I wanted to introduce you to the new Diva."

Looking up curiously, Rob's eyes widened as he saw the petite brunette woman emerge from behind Stephanie.

Noticing the look on Rob's face, Stacy too looked over at the Diva curiously. Gasping silently, she realized what was going on.

Not paying attention to anyone else, Rob continued staring at the brunette woman.

Confused at the whole situation, Stephanie waved her hand in front of Rob's face, causing him to jump back a step. "Guys… this is…"

Snapping back to reality, Rob finished Stephanie's sentence for her. "Dawn Marie."
