Disclaimer: I do not own any of the WWE superstars and along with the mortal fear of being sued, I only lay claim to the story idea and any real life similarities are completely coincidental.

A/N: This is just a note here to tell you all that are reading the other story I am in the midst of writing with Randy Orton and Trish, that there will not be an update on that one today, only this one and that it will resume itself tomorrow. The last three chapters of this story will be coming tonight, tomorrow and Sunday and then the thank you chapter the same day. For those of you that wondered how hard it was to write Randy at the same time in two different love stories, well it blows, which is why I am taking one day off from the other story to end this one where it needs to end. LOL thank you for the reviews and see you with the next few updates tomorrow. By the way, I am jumping ahead a little but in the next chapter I will go back and show you what I went ahead of so never fear if this one looks like a jumping chapter.
Randy opened the door and ushered his two friends into the house. Jackie had been long gone for hours and he knew if he wanted to have all of this fall into place then he had better get working on it, which was the reason for calling the only two men he trusted with the ending.
"Jesus, what did you make us get out of bed for?" Paul asked grumpily as he stalked in and without removing his shoes jumped right onto the pure white couch. Randy rolled his eyes and tried to rely on the kindness of the other friend that stood side by side with him.
"I need your help planning something but we have about two hours to get it all in place. So do you think you guys can help me?"
Shawn shrugged, motioning with his hands for Randy to continue telling him what the whole plan was about and what they needed to do.
"I want to recreate a Valentine's Day for Jackie. I wanted to do it before the accident, but since I couldn't, I want to do it now, and this is the only day in the near future where I can get it all done without her knowing."
Paul turned on the TV, setting himself up to watch a football game while the other two men talked of love and all things pretty. Almost as instantly as he turned the game on though, he stretched out, and fell asleep while Randy and Shawn continued talking about what to do.
"Well what do you want me to do man?"
"I need you to go to the flower store and get as many damn rose petals as you can, and then bag them and bring them back here for me use in the whole idea."
Shawn raised his eyebrows slightly, questioning not for the first time the younger man's sanity. Did he realize just how much all of those petals were going to run him in the long run and only for one night?
"Yes I realize that Shawn, you don't even have to ask. Listen, just get them for me, and then bring them back, it would be a great help."
Shawn who was still not convinced tried to push him a little further. "And what exactly do you plan to do while I am running all over town for you? Please tell me you aren't going to nap like Paul over there."
"No silly, I have to hit a few stores of my own. I will pay you if that is what you are worried about man."
Shawn laughed then, slapping his friend on the shoulder and immediately heading for the door. "Dude I don't need any more money then what I already have, but do you mind telling me what you are going to do with all of these flowers?"
Randy smiled at him slyly and walked towards the door with him, ready to go on his journey and finish what he had wanted to do since he had set eyes on her.
"Sorry dude, you are going to have to ask you wife when it is all over. For now, just do what I ask and then we can make this a night to remember?"
Walking out and towards his car, Shawn then got a thought in his head and spoke it, forgetting almost instantly that Randy was directly behind him and could hear every word. 'Don't you mean an Affair to Remember?'
"Don't tell me that this is going to get all mushy now?" Matt asked as he watched what Randy and Shawn were planning, while Stacy's knight in armor slept on the couch, with his shoes still tied to his feet.
"Oh I think it's sweet. I mean he is going all out for her to make sure she has the best day, even though it is a little late."
"You would, all women would."
Stacy looked at Matt, her expression which was now soft beginning to turn hard. "Didn't you tell me that you were going to be a better person about all of this? I mean come on Matt, you haven't been around for a long time, and it's time to get back into the groove."
Matt snorted and then turned towards his younger brother, waiting for some sort of backup but finding out very quickly that he wasn't going to get it, at least not from him and not at that time. It looked like he was on his own.
"I'm with Stacy bro, I mean come on, you said that if you saw Mom again, you would totally become a better person, and this whole time you have, but you haven't changed a bit. This isn't about what you and Amy had anymore man, it is about Randy and Jackie, do you think you could smile just a little bit?"
Stacy gave Jeff a high five and immediately the two of them broke out in a fit of giggles. It had been a long time since they had all been together like this without worries on the table and despite Matt and his negative nancy attitude, both of the other two angels were determined to make this a night to remember.
"Yeah fine whatever, but if this comes back to bite me in the ass then the two of you are going to pay. I don't get mushy for just any old person."
Wrapping her arms around his neck, Stacy, excited now that everyone was on board with her, hugged him to her tightly. She knew that if she could just make Matt see the light in their eyes and the idea of true happiness that he would lighten up and although it wasn't all over yet, she was well on her way, along with Jeff's help.
"What was that for?" he asked as she pulled away from him, feeling like his insides had just turned to mush in front of him.
"It was a thank you for finally seeing the light, at least just a little bit of it anyway."
Jeff looked at the two of them then, as if confused by something and then asked the question that had him reeling. "I thought we were supposed to make other people see the light? Since when does it cross over to the Angel's?"
