Disclaimer: Ownership of the WWE superstars in this story is purely
fictional. I am using them to make the story that much better. I own Summer
Ryan Hardy and Amanda from my other story and that is it. Everyone else as
I said is perfectly fictional and they own themselves. It is for the
greater good. But hell, if any of the superstars would like me to own them,
well come on down!
A/N: Since I updated one story that I haven't done for awhile tonight, I figured why not try another one as well, so that it gets good? If I get in the mood I might even actually update the WWE Auction one I was doing months ago. Right now we will see how this one goes. Thanks for sticking with me through all of the chapter's guy's even when I take huge breaks off from writing them.

"Thank you for coming and seeing me Jeff. I know things aren't going as well as you'd hoped right now." Jim said, offering Jeff a seat in his office before sitting back down in his own chair.
"Well Jim, things aren't going well right now, but what can you do? So what did you want to see me about?"
"I'm offering you a chance to come back to the squared circle and compete. That is, if it's something you want to consider at this point in time."
"What did you have in mind?"
"We had something in mind for you to go against some of your old friends."
"Old friends? People I am no longer friends with you mean?"
"No, as you know Shane Helms just came back to work after the death of Hayley, and along with him we've gotten Shannon Moore on RAW, not to mention someone you know very well."
"Who? Did you bring Matt back over to RAW while I wasn't looking?" Jeff said forcing a smile.
"No, your wife is back in the business. I thought you might know about it, but with all this crazy talk of divorce flying around, I guess she didn't bring it up."
"No she didn't but it doesn't shock me too much. Her life is in that ring."
"Her life was with you son, and it will be again I am sure. So what we had in mind was that they were going to form a new team extreme kind of angle, and we want you to be the bad guy this time around. Go up against them with your own group of three. I think it had the ability to make some good television."
Jeff sat back in the chair and thought about what Jim was telling him. He could come back to the business, that he loved just as much as Summer, and he could go against her and even Shannon and Shane. He liked the sound of coming back and wrestling his friends, but he didn't know how he was going to feel about working intently with Summer, when all of this divorce talk was still very much real.
"Can I think about it Jim?"
"Take as long as you need son. We have them coming back on tonight's RAW if you wanted to stay behind and watch it, but we won't need you for about another month or so. So take as much time as you need and let me know when you make the final decision either way. Does that sound good?"
"More then good. You'll know within a couple of weeks. Thanks for the chance Jim. I appreciate it."
"Jeff, do me a favor alright?"
'What's that Jim?"
"Make her come around and remember why she loves you so damned much in the first place. You two belong together."
******************************************
"Well as I live and breathe. Summer Hardy, Jay told me you were back." Shane said walking into the women's locker room after getting the go ahead from a leaving Trish.
"Shane Helms!! God you have no idea how glad I am to see you. So I guess you heard we are going to be working together?"
"That's what Jay said. He also told me all about Shannon coming back to be with us. Seems like we get all the North Carolina family back in one piece huh?" he said, enveloping Summer with his arms and hugging her. She had been his best friend since before Jeff and her had gotten married and he was shocked that he had waited so long to talk to her again.
"Well not all of us, but a good amount. We need Matt now!" Summer said, pulling out of the hug and making a face. Everyone knew that on Smack down Matt Hardy was the resident asshole, so bringing him over would only complicate things for the new force.
"So how is Jeff? It's been forever since I've talked to both of you."
Summer stalled for time and looked down at the ground. Summer had always been close with Shane and always been able to tell him anything, but this didn't seem like something that he was going to like hearing. He had been so supportive of her and Jeff from the beginning and now that there might be a divorce, it would tear at the fabric of their friendships.
"Summer what aren't you telling me here? How is your husband?"
"Shane, I filed for a divorce."
"You did what?" Shane said completely taken aback. He knew that they had their issues over the past couple of years but they were so in love and seemed like they could work through anything, just like Hayley and him had. This had to be a mistake.
"It just got to be too much and I couldn't deal with it. He said he needed time and then didn't call me or talk to me about anything. We grew apart and as much as I hate that it happened, I mean it has to be done for a reason right? Maybe Jeff and me weren't meant to be like we thought. So I filed for divorce, he was served and now I'm back here."
"I just cant fucking believe this. When the perfect couple isn't so perfect anymore it upsets the foundation of the world of relationships. Is they're anything I can do for you?" he asked, placing his hands on her shoulders like second nature.
"No but thank you for not giving me shit. I have already had a call from Matt telling me what a stupid fool that I am. I just didn't think I could stand hearing it from you as well you know?"
"I wouldn't even think of doing that. You stood by me through some horrid shit lately, so there is no way I would turn my back on you. You know that don't you Summer?"
"I do Shane, and thank you." Pulling her gaze away from his eyes and how caring and sincere he was, she went back to preparing her look for later in the evening. After a few minutes of weird silence she decided to ask how he was doing.
"How are you coping?"
"I know it's been awhile, and that it shouldn't hurt this much anymore, but I can't help feeling like a part of me is dead. Coming back here was so hard for me, but now that I am here, I think it's something I needed to do. I miss her so much Summer and I can't make anyone understand that."
"I understand completely. When someone close to you dies, it upsets the entire foundation of the world. Isn't that what you just told me about Jeff and me? I get it Shane. It will get easier, but it's going to be just as hard for the time being. I'm here for you though, you know that. She was my best friend too."
"I know she was, and thank you. How about we drop all this talk of depressing shit in our lives and focus on what we are going to do tonight out there in the ring for our return?"
"Good idea. But I only have one question."
'What's that?"
"We're here, but where's Shan the man?"
************************************************************
As Shane and Summer left the locker room, and made their way down the hall to Jim's office, Shane took her hand in his. He always felt comfortable with Summer and doing things like this never freaked her out. He was glad that he had her as his best friend right now. She was the only one that truly understood every feeling he was going through.
As they turned towards Jim's office, Summer reached for the door, and just as she did, it flew open and she came face to face with Jeff.
"Summer."
"Jeff."
"Well, how's this for a nice awkward stance? How's it going buddy?" Shane asked trying to lighten the mood a little bit as it was obvious by the death grip that Summer now had on his hand, that it needed to be lightened up.
"It's going. So listen Jim, thanks again and we will talk soon. Later Shane. Summer."
Not looking up as he walked away, Summer suddenly felt sick to her stomach. Would the pain ever totally go away? Would she feel this awkwardness every time they came in contact. They shared the entire same group of friends and the last thing she wanted was for people to have to pick sides. She loved him, it didn't just go away, but she just knew that they weren't at the same place right now.
"You alright Summer?" Jim asked, shooting a concerned look at Shane, moving out of the way to let them both into the room.
"Yeah I am fine. So aside from Shannon not being here, what do you have planned for us tonight?"
************************************
"Welcome to another live broadcast of Monday Night Raw. I'm here along with my broadcasting colleague Jerry the King Lawler and it looks like it's shaping up to be a very good night on RAW indeed. Wouldn't you say King?" Jim said, yelling above the crowd, and the tremendous noise that was coming out the arena. It seemed that as much as they wanted to hide it, everyone knew Shane and Summer were coming back tonight and they were louder then usual.
"All I want to see right now JR is some good old fashioned southern puppies."
Just as the King said the comment about the puppies, the fireworks went off, and Team Extreme's music hit, but it wasn't the same old music from the days of the Hardy'z, it had been revamped.
"What the hell is going on now King? Who is coming out?" Jim said, looking up at the ramp as the music hit. Jim had asked them earlier in the night to make their own song, and when given the prospect of using music, Summer had gotten back into it more then ever. Now the song blaring out of the speakers was hard and heavy and suited what they were out there to do.
'Now I can't take this, everything I know
I realized that I am nothing that I wanted to be
I can never change anything I've done
Because it's the only thing that I have left
Blame myself again, for what I didn't do
Never really knew it was coming from me
Change the way I felt
Because I have gone to far now
Nobody can change my mind
And it leads me to a new disease'
"It's Summer Ryan Hardy and Shane Helms along with Shannon Moore from Smack down King! This is a shocker if I ever saw one. What are they doing out here tonight?"
Grabbing the microphone that Lillian gave her Summer turned it on. Now was the time to put herself back out there.
"Well it's great to be back in the ring and I think I speak for Shane as well. We missed you all so much. Now you are probably wondering what we are doing out here, and what Shannon is doing here with us instead of with that asshole Matt Hardy on Smack Down. Well I'll tell you. We all got together, and we decided, it was time for a new Team. One that was harder, hotter and heavier. One that will revolutionize the business. So that's what we are doing here tonight. We are the new TEAM EXTREME!!" The roar of the crowd overtook her and she was shocked at the good response they were getting. Summer didn't know how the fans were going to take to Shannon being with them since he hadn't been before, but they seemed warmed up to the idea of it. It made her happy. But before she knew it, her happiness was short lived.
The familiar music hit, and taking a step backwards at the sound, Summer was in genuine shock. What the hell was he doing there, and why didn't anyone tell them before hand what was going to go down. All she knew was that her return to the ring was about to be short lived.
