Chapter 9



During the match, neither of the Hardy Boyz seemed distracted in any way, but as soon as they stepped through the curtain, they both seemed to disappear into their own little worlds. Amy sighed, and said "Hey, I'm going to get showered and stuff. I'll meet you after the show is over for the ride to the hotel, ok?" The only answer she got was a grunt from Matt. She took that as a sign that they'd heard her and headed towards the women's locker room.

Once inside, she found Kiara watching some tapes of old matches between Edge and Christian and the Hardy Boyz. Amy paused, as if unsure whether to say anything to Kiara. After all, she didn't know what the argument between Kiara and the boys was about, for all she knew, Kiara could be a nice person. Amy stood and debated for so long that Kiara noticed she was in the room and saved her from having to decide if she should say something.

"Hi. We didn't get a chance to be properly introduced earlier. I'm Kiara." she said, holding out her hand to Amy, who took it, surprised.

"Amy, a.k.a Lita, although I'm sure you knew that already!" she laughed in reply, "listen, I just want to apologise for Matt and Jeff's behavior earlier on. I know you three go back a long way, but there was no excuse for them to behave that way when you've just joined the company. Whatever may have happened between you three is in the past now, and I don't particularly need to know what it was. As far as I'm concerned, you should be made welcome."

"Thanks, but there's no need to apologise. I know why they acted the way they did, and as far as I'm concerned it's in the past. I'm willing to forget it and move on. I just want to enjoy my job. Actually, I'm glad you came in here. I wanted to ask you if you'd help me train? I really admire your ringwork." Kiara responded, putting the beginning of her plan into action. She knew she had to make friends with Amy, and what better way to do it than when they were alone?

"Well, thanks. I'm very flattered. Of course I'll help you train, but you know you have to train with Adam and Jay too right? As well as Matt and Jeff." Amy replied, blushing slightly at the compliment.

"Oh, yeah, I know I have to train with Adam and Jay too, but I was wondering if maybe, me and you could work together in private? I'd really like to surprise them with some impressive moves, like your hurricanrana or your moonsault. What do you say?" Kiara asked, her eyes begging Amy to say yes.

"Well…sure. I don't how we'll work it into our schedules, but we can manage I'm sure. When do you want to start?" Amy replied, after thinking about it for a moment. She knew Matt and Jeff wouldn't like it, but she also knew that it was part of her job.

"Well, um…how about now? I mean, if you don't mind? The practice ring's set up, and the show doesn't finish for another hour or so. We have plenty of time to work out and then get showered and stuff." Kiara said, quickly, hoping that Amy would agree.

"I guess so…" Amy said, slowly, "I haven't really done too much tonight so I'm not tired. Yeah, lets do it! You get ready and we'll go down to the practice ring. We won't get disturbed because almost everyone's involved with the show."

"Okay. I'll just get changed then I'll meet you in the ring in about ten minutes, ok?" Kiara replied.

"Sure. I need to grab a bottle of water anyway. I'll bring you one too - you'll need it." Amy said, as she made her way out of the locker room.

"Great, thanks. I'll see you in a few…" Kiara's reply was muffled as she took off her shirt to get changed. As soon as Amy shut the door, Kiara took out her cell phone. She quickly dialed a number and waited for an answer. "Yeah, hi, it's me. The plan is going great. I'm going to have no trouble getting Amy to believe anything I say. I'll let you know about the rest later. Yeah…ok…yeah, bye." Kiara hung up and grinned maliciously. She then finished getting ready and headed toward the ring, humming to herself.
