Randy, Ric and Dave sat in a large room waiting on the arrival of Trish and Mr. McMahon. All of them were into a state of confusion, wondering why they had been called there and why Paul wasn't with them. Trish didn't exactly get a chance to tell the guys that she had gone to him to seek revenge on Molly and Gail. After what Randy had done for her over the past week, Gail and Molly were the last things on her mind.

Each of the men turned their attention towards the door when they saw it opening. Mr. McMahon along with Trish entered the room. Trish took a seat next to Randy, placing her hand in his under the table, squeezing it reassuringly.

Vince didn't waste anytime getting things started. "I am sure you are all wondering what you are doing here and I am going to get to that in a minute. First I want to point out to you what a wonderful job the four of you have been doing. Your constant dedication to the business does not go unnoticed."

Vince took a sip of his water before continuing on. "Now, Miss Stratus has already told me that she did not fill you all in on what is about to take place so let me get that out of the way. Trish has asked for my assistance in bringing down two of her biggest enemies. Now normally I wouldn't even listen to such a plea but this is definitely the exception to my rule. Trish has done some favors for me in the past and those girls certainly need to be taught a lesson. They have apparently been causing all kinds of trouble backstage and I just think it is time for them to get their just desserts."

Randy was the first to speak up. "Vince, I am glad that you are able to help Trish out but what does it have to do with us? Also, where is Paul? He is still a member of Evolution right?"

For the first time since she entered the room, she had realized that Paul wasn't there. She had been walking on cloud nine for the past week and was completely oblivious to the world around her. The absence of Paul definitely confused her as well. "Randy is right Vince, where is Paul?"

"Well, I have been doing a lot of thinking and have been wanting to make a change for a while now. I think it is time for Evolution to move on without him."

There was a collective gasp that passed over the room, each and every member of Evolution in a state of shock over the news. Trish felt absolutely dreadful. This was all her fault. If she hadn't been so hell bent on getting even with Molly and Gail, Vince probably wouldn't be pursuing this right now.

A pool of unshed tears began to form in the Canadian's eyes as the guilt began to take over her senses. She never wanted this to happen. "Vince, please don't do that," she pleaded. "I am sorry that I even asked for your help. Can we just forget that I ever came to you?"

"I am sorry Miss Stratus but like I have already stated, I have been thinking about doing this for some time now and after what you told me yesterday, this is long overdue."

Ric was a little confused about what he meant by that. He glanced over at Trish, a look of confusion on his face. "What exactly did you say to him Trish?"

Trish swallowed the lump in her throat as 3 sets of eyes bore into her, each of the owner's of those eyes wanting an explanation. Randy pulled his hand out of hers, a sense of anger washing over him. Trish immediately felt the loss. The bile in her stomach began to rise, a sense of despair beginning to take over. This had gone completely wrong. Even Randy was turning his back on her. She shook her head in disbelief. She should have known better than to trust Vince. He was a slimy snake in the grass and she wanted nothing more than to slap that smug look off of his face.

"Guys, please try and understand," she begged. "I was in a very bad place. I had nowhere else to go and I was sick of being double-teamed by the two of them so I had gone to Vince for some help."

Ric was growing impatient with her. "Oh cut the B.S. Trish, we know all of this already, what did you say to Vince about Paul?"

As if her unshed tears had a mind of their own, they began to slowly roll down her cheeks. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't control them. She knew that what she had done was wrong, the guilt evident on her face. She sucked on her bottom lip to keep it from trembling, the tears racking her body.

Randy couldn't help himself. He wasn't sure what she had done and as mad as he was at her right now, he couldn't stand to see her crying. He enveloped her in his arms, making every attempt to sooth her. "Shhh, it's okay baby, you don't have to answer right now. We can talk about this later on." Randy stroked her hair as he rocked her back and forth. Until this moment he never realized how truly fragile she was. She was as tough as they came on the exterior but deep down she was just a delicate flower.

Vince was growing impatient with her. "Trish, if you aren't going to act like a professional, I would like you to kindly remove yourself from the room so we can get on with this. Nobody needs to listen to you blubber. If you can't take it then I suggest you go back to modeling because this isn't the business for you."

Trish wiped the tears from her eyes, feeling a bit better knowing that Randy wasn't completely abandoning her. No matter how much she felt like she was betraying Paul, she had to do what he asked. She wasn't about to go back to modeling. Wrestling was her life. "I am sorry Mr. McMahon, I am okay now. Please continue."

Vince didn't even acknowledge Trish's apology, he just continued on, filling the guys in on what was going to transpire. "Randy? Dave? I want you boys to take Gail and Molly under your wings so to speak. Let them think that you are interested in them and they will be joining forces with Evolution in the future.

" Trish? I want you to become suspicious of the four of them, letting everyone think that there is something gone terribly wrong with Evolution. Trish and Triple H will remain a couple as well. You will fill Triple H in on your concerns and he will begin to become suspicious as well."

Vince continued as he paced up and down the room, the ideas flying out of his mouth. "Also, Randy and Batista must convince the girls that they are out to get Triple H and Trish. We can go on like this for a couple of weeks, maybe even a month or so, building the storyline and the heat. There will be bickering and fights between Gail, Trish and Molly. Ric you will be the mediator. None will be the wiser."

Vince was taking great pleasure in watching Trish squirm. He thought that she was a huge asset to the company, yet he loved toying with her. He knew that she hated him and she had every right to do so after what he had done to her. But that didn't stop him from tormenting her now and then. After all, he did give her what she wanted, with an added twist. Besides, he was Vince McMahon and they were all his puppets anyway. "Once everything is set in place, the four of you will turn on Triple H and Gail and Molly will be in for a rude awakening."

Now normally Dave was the silent one. He just took his instructions, did what he had to do and moved on. So everyone was very surprised when they heard him speaking up. "Vince, I usually don't question what you do when it comes to the storylines or the business in general but I need to know why we just can't tell them about this just like any other time. Why the secrecy? Why can't Paul be here with us either?" "I mean I just don't get it," Dave stated, scratching his head.

"Those are some very good questions Dave but I am going to have to refuse to answer them. I guess the only thing I can tell you is that I have my reasons. I want them to be just as surprised as all of the fans watching at home. So you will do what you are asked and you will smile while doing it. If I find out that any of you have told him or anyone else for that matter, you will be fired on the spot."

All four members of Evolution nodded their heads in agreement, none of them wanting to lose their jobs. Before any of them could question McMahon further, there was a knock on the door. Vince opened the door allowing Paul, Molly and Gail to enter.

Once Vince explained everything all over again, of course leaving out certain details, everyone headed back to the Evolution locker room. The mood in there was very sullen. Ric and Dave were extremely pissed off at Trish and they couldn't question her right now because of Paul being in the room. Randy was still angry with her as well but his love for her allowed him to be a bit more understanding about the whole situation.

Paul sensed the uneasiness of everyone and decided that he was going to find out exactly what the hell was going on. "Alright guys, what's up? None of you have been acting yourselves today. What gives?"

Ric covered quickly for them all, not wanting to give anything away. "Ah boss, we are just a bit unnerved over the addition of two more members to Evolution. I don't have a clue what McMahon is thinking but we have more than enough with one diva in our faction." Ric eyed Trish over in the corner with Randy, giving her a perturbed look. Why do we need them?"

Paul understood where Ric was coming from completely. "Yeah, I see what you mean buddy. Vince always has a way of throwing a monkey wrench into a storyline, confusing even me. I have pretty much seen it all here in the WWE but he never ceases to amaze me with his cockamamie schemes."

Trish scowled from the look that Ric passed her. She knew that as soon as Paul left the room they were all going to blast her. They had every right in the world to do so and she knew it.

Just as luck would have it, Paul excused himself to head down to see the trainers. His knee was really starting to bug him a lot lately and he needed to have it checked out. As soon as Paul exited the room, all eyes were on her again. She felt uneasy and tried to lean in closer to Randy, wishing he could hide her completely.

Ric and Dave walked over to where Randy and Trish were sitting, a disgusted look on both of their faces. "Okay Trish, spill it," Ric demanded. "What on Earth were you thinking?"

Trish couldn't do this right now. How was she going to explain the fact that she wanted revenge on them because one of them happened to be screwing around with Paul? What would Randy say to that? She would surely lose him. He would know that jealously made her do it. Sure it was more like hatred but he wouldn't know that. How could he forgive something like that? Nobody in Evolution knew about her and Paul and she wanted to keep it that way. She loved the both of them but Randy was who she chose and losing him would destroy her. What was she supposed to say though?

Randy looked deeply into her eyes, seeing the devastated look in them. He could tell that she was remorseful. He knew deep down that whatever she did, she did it in the heat of the moment and that it was purely unintentional. "Guys, would you look at her for a minute, I mean really look at her. Does she look like someone that would do something to intentionally hurt any one of us?"

Ric and Dave shook their heads. Randy was right and they both knew it.

"Well do we really need to know what it was that she said to Vince? I mean clearly she wasn't thinking and I know that you guys blame her for this but Vince did say he was going to do it sooner or later and honestly, how long was he really going to keep us all together. We can't let something as miniscule as this ruin our friendships. Trish is a good person, you know it and I know it. Why don't we just give her the benefit of the doubt and move on."

Trish's heart leapt in her chest. Randy never ceased to amaze her. He just continued to show his love for her over and over again. He was her knight in shining armor. There wasn't anything that he wouldn't do for her and she was extremely grateful to have him. She knew that he was too good for her. He was completely loyal to her in every way and she continued to go behind his back with Paul. She really didn't deserve him.

Ric and Dave both gave in. Randy was right. Trish was a good person and they really did love her like a sister. They had both made their share of mistakes in the past so what right did they really have to question Trish. "You're right Randy," Dave agreed. "She does deserve a break. God knows that I have not always been 100 on the level."

"Trish sweetie, we didn't mean to make you cry," Dave explained. "I hope you can forgive us."

Trish smiled for the first time since leaving Vince's office. "You know I really don't deserve to have you guys but I really appreciate everything that you have done for me. I really am truly sorry for everything that I have caused. I never meant to hurt Paul in anyway. You guys have no idea what his friendship means to me. I have already lost him once before and I just don't want him to hate me for this. Losing him again would be too much for me to take."

Ric pulled Trish up from her spot on the couch with Randy and pulled her into his arms. "Trish honey, Dave and I love you like a little sister. Trust me when I say that whatever happens from here on out, we will always have your back. Paul has a short wick and easily flies off the handle but I know that he has a soft spot in his heart for you too dear. Besides, he isn't going to find out because nobody in this room is going to say anything. Right guys?"

Randy and Dave agreed bringing an even bigger smile on her face. "I love all of you guys you know that? Randy of course a bit differently than the two of you but seriously, I don't deserve friends like you. I don't deserve Chris, Jay or Stacy for that matter. Whatever the reason that makes you guys want to be my friend, I am thankful for." Ric and Dave both took turns hugging Trish, making her feel 100 times better than she had previously.

Trish sat back down on the couch, snuggling against Randy's bare chest while he wrapped his arm around her. "Well Baby, now that we have that settled, what do you say we go out dancing tonight after the show?"

Trish trailed feather kisses along Randy's jaw making her way up to his lips before gently pressing her lips into his. "You know there is something else that I would much rather do tonight Randy," she purred. A bubble bath for two perhaps?"

Randy eyed her seductively. "Oh I like your idea much better than mine. Sounds like a plan babe."
