Trish was heading towards Jeff's locker room so they could discuss their story line. The writers decided that a Jeff and Trish angle would boost ratings. She really didn't have a problem with; in fact she was looking forward to working with the daredevil. They were more like acquaintances than friends though. An occasional hi or good luck was shared between the two, nothing more.

She knocked on the door before making her entrance.

"Come in." He said.

"Hey Jeff." She said with a smile

"Oh hey Trish. How are you?" He asked.

"I'm doing alright, how are you?" She replied.

"I'm good, so are you ready for tonight?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm really excited. I'm glad that they decided to team us up. So for tonight we're just doing a backstage segment hinting the start of our relationship?" I asked sitting down next to him.

"Yea, I come over to see if your alright cause Jazz just gave you a brutal beating and then Show comes on interrupts us right before we kiss, then issues a challenge. I accept his challenge and that sets up the stage for next Monday." He replied while taking Trish's hand into his, giving it a soft kiss. "Has anyone ever told you how pretty your eyes are." He added looking into her eyes.

Trish blushed at his comment. She noticed that he hadn't let go of her hand yet but she didn't mind. He moved closer to her, stroking her cheek. She moved closer to him leaning in for a kiss but someone interrupted them.

Knock Knock

"You guys are up in 5 minutes. Paul is out here already so we're set.

"Thanks Carry." They both said.

"Um Trish after the show would you like to go out for a couple of drinks maybe even a little bit of dancing." He asked unsure of how she would respond.

"Sure, I'd love to." She replied. With that they left to meet p with Paul to go over a few things. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
