A/N: It's been awhile, but I do come back, even when I keep getting things deleted for stupid reasons on here. This story has been on the back burner for sometime now but it's time I reactivated it and made it the way it needs to be, fore front and center. Let's just hope that people still give a damn, or hell that people actually keep reading at this darn site.

"Now what the hell could you possibly want?" John asked, raising his eyebrows in confusion. Knowing that the younger Hardy was back on the roster was alright, but knowing that he wanted Trish back was what made him wonder what his movements would be. He promised Trish that he wouldn't do anything, and he was damn sure he was going to stick to it, but with Jeff here alone in front of him now it was taking everything not to knock him out.

"I wanted to talk to you about an ongoing issue."

"You mean Trish don't you?"

"It's that obvious between us already isn't it?"

"Well you aren't exactly trying to hide the damn thing are you Jeff? What exactly are you playing at here Hardy. You want Trish back is that it?"

"As a matter of fact I do, but I'm here based on my comeback as well. I know they had a plan with the two of you, and now that they want to focus Trish on the new title scene that they are putting the two of you on the back burner, but there is no denying that her and I have something on camera that can never be replayed."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"I want you to talk to Stephanie and take yourself away from her. I think that if the fans saw the two of us together again they might get back into it and it could go a long way. So what do you say?"

John dug his nails into his hands in absolute anger. There was no way in hell that Jeff could be in here actually doing what he was doing right now. It took all the restraint in the world for John not to slam him into the door at that moment.

"I say no, now why don't you just get the hell out of here alright? I'm sure there is something they need you to do and I really don't want you in my face right now if you don't mind."

"Just think about it John. You weren't on Raw, you didn't see the chemistry between the two of us. It could most likely happen again and being a nice guy I wouldn't want you in the middle of it."

"I wasn't on RAW but I did see her when she came over here, and the pain you inflicted in her, so if it's all the same to you, I love her, and if they want us to work together then I'm not going to listen to you. I'm going to do what I'm told and enjoy it with a smile on my face. Now get the hell out of here Jeff and don't bother coming back in here again."

As soon as Trish entered the women's locker room all eyes came to rest on her, and she suddenly got the feeling like she was being talked about. Everyone knew she was going to be the next women's champ on Smack down, but at the same time she didn't want to deal with any backstage politics based on the decision.

"What? Is there like something on my face or something?"

Torii immediately changed the look on her face and turned it into a smile. There was no reason for Trish to worry and she was going to do whatever it took to make sure she didn't. She didn't know the Toronto native all that well but word around RAW was that she would do just about anything for anyone and Torii had an agenda. She wanted to wrestle and do it right, and Trish might be the stone to get her there.

"No, not a damn thing wrong with ya girl. We were just talking about the news."

"What news would that be?"

"Trish, you have to know, Jeff Hardy coming back and then coming over to this show. It's kind of sweet actually."

"What is so sweet about it? He's coming over to start his career over again. I have to admit it's a smart move but sweet, I don't think that's the word I would use."

"You do know he's here for you don't you? He was looking for you earlier too. Did he ever find you?"

"Looking for me when?"

"Like about fifteen minutes ago. I saw you talking to Kurt and John so I think I just sent him in that direction. I thought for sure he had found you though."

"You mean to tell me that he went to see John?"

"Yeah." Seeing the look developing on her face, Torie started to understand what Trish was getting at. Trish was afraid that Jeff would find John and since her and John had become so close over the last little while that there would be some heated words. Which was definitely something that no one in the business needed right now. Not with all that bad media attention lately.

"I'm sure John wouldn't do anything to him Trish."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Well it's not like you and John are dating. I'm sure he'd be happy to see you with Jeff again and being happy."

"I'm not so sure of that Torie, but thanks. I think I need to go make sure nothing went down."

As she left the room Torii turned to Dawn who had made her way out of the shower and was toweling her hair watching the door.

"What was that about?"

"Something funny is going on here Dawn, and I'll be damned if I don't want to find out."

A/N: short chapter I know, but I wanted to add a new element. I'm throwing Torie into the mixture and she's going to be a main player in all of this I believe. Stay tuned there will be more later.
