Remember every disclaimer you've ever read, turn around, do a little dance, and then apply them to this story as well. Now doesn't it feel nice to just dance? LOL
Author's Top Ramblings: Again, sorry it took so long to get this out but I told you it'd be out sooner or later! Hope y'all enjoy this chapter as much as the other two!
"Damnit, what's taking everyone so long today?" Dave Batista muttered out loud as he stared at the monitor backstage. Triple H and HBK were once again out in the ring and trading insults back and forth, and like usual, there didn't seem to be an end in sight. Something new and different, he thought sarcastically.
"You do realize this is a live, two hour show don't you?" Fellow Evolution member Ric Flair said as he walked up next to him. "Besides, you're not getting out of here until that meeting Vince wants to have with everyone is over."
"You're kidding?" Ric shook his head slowly and Batista groaned. "So what you're saying is that we won't get outta here until around 10, right?" Flair nodded and then they were both approached by one of the stagehands.
"You two are scheduled out there in a few minutes." She announced, trying her best to sidle up to Batista without trying to look too obvious. He shook his head and gave her an annoyed look before brushing past her with Ric Flair right behind him.
Rene Dupree looked up as the two Evolution members strode by him and snickered. "Ces deux bâtards d'Evolution juste marché en pensant ils sont les meilleures choses dans le monde (Those two Evolution bastards just walked by thinking they are the best things in the world)." He spoke rapidly into his cell phone to his injury prone partner Sylvan Grenier who was back at home nursing a slight back injury. "But personally, I don't think this Las Vegas place is as good as these Americans make it out to be." He assured his friend. He caught eyes with Stacy Keibler and Trish Stratus, who were giggling and motioning him over. "Sylvan? I have to be going. Bye." He hung up and the phone and stood up, walking over to the two. "Ladies, how can I help you?"
Trish pressed her lips together as she smiled and nudged Stacy in the ribs with her elbow, trying to get her to explain instead.
"Well, a bunch of us girls wanted to go check out some of the sites tonight." Stacy started off, placing one of her hands on his shoulder. "But we don't want anybody to be mean to us or anything. So we were thinking that if we had someone like you who was so handsome and strong, guys and girls would be afraid to start something with us."
Rene smiled broadly. "Of course I could help you ladies out with that. After the show I will find you and we can go. But I have a match now, so au revoir."
Stacy started giggling again as they watched him walk off and Trish couldn't help but start laughing too.
"We are so drunk already." Stacy commented and the two walked off, arm in arm, still giggling.

"I could so not believe you checked that girl out."
Billy Kidman watched helplessly as Torrie stalked ahead of him as quickly as she could in heels. Before he knew what was coming, she spun back around towards him.
"Billy it was a hooker for God's sake!" She admonished.
"It's not like I could tell." He answered back.
Torrie put her hands on her hips. "Sure, like that short ass skirt and halter top she was wearing didn't just scream 'hooker'. This is our first day here! If I can't even trust you when I'm with you, how the heck am I supposed to feel when you're out with the guys?"
"I should hope you have enough faith in me to know that I would never cheat on you." He responded quickly.
The look on her face softened and she threw her arms around his neck. "I'm sorry I ever doubted you Baby. It's just that I've never been here before and I think this place is making me a little bit nervous."
He nodded and smoothed down her hair reassuringly, being used to his wife's mood swings by now. "I know. I didn't take anything you said seriously anyway."
*~*~*~*
"What do you think you're doing?" Test asked his roommate Chris Jericho, once the meeting was over and they were back in their hotel room.
Jericho looked up at him, confused. "What are you talking about? Last time I checked, I was just sitting here, reading a book and minding my own business."
"You can't just sit there and do that all night." Test answered. "What happened to the King of the World? Mr. Highlight of the Night? The Ayatollah of Rock n' Rolla? He would not sit around reading a book when he came back to Vegas after not being here for over a year. I think you should come out with me and we can go find some fun."
"I don't think so man." Jericho replied. "Since Jessica can't be here, I promised her I wouldn't do anything crazy."
Test rolled his eyes. "You have got to be kidding me."
Jericho shook his head. "Sorry to say but no. She trusts me being here by myself and I don't want to do anything to break that trust."
"Okay, enough with this trusting shit already." Test said finally. "Stacy's already been on my back about it and Billy and Torrie are practically at each others throats about it. There is no way I'm letting you, one of my good good friends, fall victim to that. So, even if I have to drag you out here myself, you're coming out with me."
Jericho sighed and set his book to the side and then looked up at his friend, who was looking at him expectantly. "Fine. Let me just get ready and then we can go out. You know what?" He started as he stopped in the doorway to the bathroom. Test looked over at him. "I'm just going with you to make sure you don't do anything stupid."
Test started laughing. "Sure thing buddy. Just keep on telling yourself that."
*~*~*~*
Molly Holly pulled her jacket tighter around her shoulders as she looked around the crowded casino self-consciously. She didn't know why she had decided to come here—and by herself no less. Everyone else had left their rooms by the time she went around searching for someone to come with her, so she had decided to just go downstairs and check things out—see what everyone loved about this city.
So now she was in the middle of the bustling casino, being jostled by people eager to get to the slot machines and scantily clad women holding trays of shot glasses filled with alcohol. The constant ringing of the machines was starting to give her a headache and she brushed some hair out of her face, wanting nothing more then to just go back up to her hotel room and fall asleep. Tomorrow she'd head over to the arena. Vince had asked her and Victoria to train a little bit with the Smackdown divas so they could get up to par with the girls on Raw and she had been more then happy to agree. They were in desperate—
"Excuse me." Somebody bumped into her.
Molly looked up to see John Cena smiling down at her, a drink in one hand and some blonde girl clinging to his other arm. "What do you want?"
"Just wanted to see what you were up too and why you were here all by yourself." He leaned in closer to her. "You know, there are a lot of crazy weird people here, especially at this time. I wanted to see if you were alright."
"I was fine before you decided to show up." She replied airily. "Now if you'll excuse me…" She trailed off pointedly.
John shook his head. "No don't leave yet."
"I believe Miss Holly asked you to leave her alone." A voice from behind John said.
"Hurricane what are you doing here?" Both John and Molly asked at the same time.
"Mild mannered reporter Gregory Helms." He corrected. "And once again, I think you should leave Miss Holly here alone before I make you."
John held up his hands un surrender and then shrugged. "Sure, whatever. I'll see you two around."
"Thanks for sorta saving me I guess." Molly said once John and his girl of the night had disappeared into the crowd. "You didn't really need to though; I could have taken care of things by myself."
The Hurricane, err, Gregory Helms, nodded his head knowingly. "True, but you looked like you could use some non-drunk company. So what do you say?" He asked, holding out his arm to her.
Molly grinned and linked her arm through his. "Sounds like a plan."
