Two weeks later Chaya stood leaning on the ring apron, waiting until she could interfere with the match going on in the ring. Test was taking on Saturn in a singles match. Terri was in the opposite corner, taunting the crowd with her little devil horns as they chanted for 'puppies'. Finally the spot came. Test pinned Saturn but Terri jumped up on the ropes to distract the ref from the count. The crowd went wild as Athena sprinted around the outside of the ring and ripped Terri down from the apron. Terri flailed helplessly as Athena rolled her up into an armbar submission. Saturn tried to get out of the ring to save Terri, but Test grabbed him from behind and rolled him up into the same submission. Both Terri and Saturn were tapping furiously. The bell was rung and Athena let Terri go and jumped into the ring. Test picked her up and swung her around once before placing her on her feet and raising her arm in victory. After Saturn began helping Terri up the ramp, Test and Athena jumped down and exited the arena hand in hand. The roar of the crowd was deafening.

"Well done." Vince met them as they came through the curtain. "Your synchronization was perfect. How long did you have to practice that?"

Chaya caught Andrew's eye then and both of them smiled tentatively. "We didn't really plan that." Chaya confessed shyly.

"Yeah, we ah, we used to use that move way back when we were training in the dungeon." Andrew added.

"I'm truly amazed at how well the two of you are in tune with each other." Vince told them, a pensive look on his chiselled features. "I think we're going to have to expand your story line. What would you think about becoming a semi-permanent team?"

Their eyes met again and held. Questions danced between hazel blue and hazel brown eyes, but neither answered. Finally Andrew broke their gaze and turned back to Vince. "We'll hafta think on it Vince. We'll see how we do when we actually have our first tag match."

"Good, good. Well, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and talk to our lighting director." Both of them nodded as he took off. Silence stretched between the two of them before Chaya announced that she was gonna hit the showers. "Care for some company?" Andrew asked hesitantly. Chaya turned startled amber eyes his way and was about to open her mouth when Andrew covered it with his hand. "For the walk pixie, not in the shower. I'm not that stupid."

"That's a matter of opinion." Chaya replied slapping his hand away, but her comment lacked any malice. She started walking away, but stopped before turning the corner. "You coming or not?" She called over her shoulder with a smirk. Smiling, Andrew jogged to catch up with her.

"How did you know I was going to use that move?" Chaya asked after they had walked a few minutes in silence.

Andrew shrugged. "I didn't. I just had a hunch."

"Care to explain?"

"Vince told you to keep using the submissive style. The sharp-shooter is basically your signature move, but you couldn't pull it off with your ankle still healing. The armbar was an obvious second choice."

"Obvious huh, what makes you think so?" Chaya teased.

Andrew looked thoughtful for a moment before he spoke. "Like it or not pixie, I still know you like the back of my hand. I know what goes on inside that wicked mind of yours."

"Oh really? Then what am I thinking right now hotshot?"

"You're thinking I'm right and you hate it."

"As a matter of fact I'm not, smarty. I'm thinking you don't know me at all. In fact, I don't think you ever really did know me, or you'd..." She trailed off, angry with herself for revealing so much.

"Or I'd what Chay?" Andrew stopped her from walking ahead of him. He held her arm gently, but firmly, wondering at the glassiness of her eyes. Were those tears?

"I'm a different person now Drew. I'm not the girl you left back in the dungeon, okay?" She turned on her heel and continued walking.

Andrew watched her go without trying to stop her. Then he leaned against the wall and took several deep breaths. How had things gotten so far? He wondered. It seemed like just yesterday he was holding her off the floor in his arms as she laughed with him and told him how much she loved him. But it had been seven years. Seven years! He thought that would have been enough time for her to forgive him. Apparently not. Not if he could still see the tears she was trying to hide. Those tear-filled eyes had haunted him for the past seven years. He couldn't go to sleep without seeing the fire of her eyes being dampened by the torrent of tears that spilled down her cheeks. He couldn't even look at a wrestling ring without remembering her. Groaning and cursing he pushed away from the wall and stalked towards his dressing room. Jeff Hardy never even saw what hit him.

"Chaya wait up girl!" Amy called down the empty hallway. The show was just ending, and Chaya was on her way out to catch a cab back to the hotel. "Where are you going?" The red-head laughed as she caught up.

"Back to the hotel. I'm beat."

"Aw c'mon Chay. You can't be tired. Not tonight!"

"Ok, I'll bite. Why can't I be tired tonight?"

"Cause it's movie night! You have to come, it's a tradition!"

"What tradition?"

"The third Tuesday of every month we have a movie night. Most of us can't go to movies anymore without being mobbed or worse, so Vince rents us a conference room in the hotel and we get to watch all the new releases all night long!"

"That sounds really cool."

"Trust me, it's a BLAST! And you gotta come."

"I don't know Ames, I'm tired and"

"I'm not taking no for an answer." Amy said folding her arms and giving her a challenging look.

"Oh girl, any other day and I would wipe the floor with that pretty face of yours!" Chaya laughed.

"But not today." Amy returned.

"No, not today. But someday we'll have to have ourselves a lil shoot match."

"Yeah right, as if I'd actually try to stand toe to toe with Athena, the legendary Ms. Neidhart who dismantled Chyna and the Big Show all in one day. I may be extreme, but not that extreme!" Chaya blushed modestly as Amy laughed. "So you gonna come tonight?"

"I still don't know."

"Please, please, pretty please? With whip cream and a cherry?"

"Hmm, I'll skip the cherry, but whip cream sounds like fun!" Chaya smirked and Amy batted her arm.

"You're terrible. And you're coming tonight."

"Yeah, alright. I'll come."

"Cool. I'll meet you in the lobby around 10:30, okay?"

"I'll be there." Chaya told her and resumed walking.

"Chay you want to wait for a ride? Jeff and Matt should be ready soon." Amy called out. "You guys made up huh?"

"Yeah." Amy blushed and Chaya shook her head smiling.

"Nah, I think I'll just catch a cab."

"Okay. Oh Chay, the dress for the movies is real casual. Wear something comfy!" Amy added with a wink. As she was walking out the door Chaya wondered what Amy would think if she just showed up in the lobby in her flannel pyjamas.

"Oh my word!" Chaya exclaimed as she stepped off the elevator, one minute before she was supposed to meet Amy. She was casually dressed in tear-aways and a black Zeplin t-shirt under an open zippered hooded sweatshirt with the Dungeon logo on it. Matt, Jeff and Amy stood in the hallway outside wearing about 6 different colours of plaid. "What on earth are you guys wearing?"

"Pyjamas, what does it look like?" Amy giggled.

"You can't be serious." Chaya said, her eyes still wide and laughing as the people in the hotel around them stared curiously.

"Didn't Amy tell you? We always dress in pyjamas for movie night." Jeff said bouncing around them.

"She just told me to dress comfy, not ridiculous. Besides, I'm not part of team extreme-ly goofy looking."

"Maybe I shoulda explained a little more." Amy said seriously, taking her arm and steering her towards the conference room. "See, everyone wears jammies to movie night. It's like one huge slumber party. But with beer and hoagies instead of cocoa and popcorn."

"Whadya mean, we still have popcorn." Matt called over his shoulder.

"It was just an analogyyou know what? Never mind."

Chaya laughed. "Uncle Bret never told me about"

"It's a pretty new tradition. Hunter and DX started it just a couple of years ago. It caught on and we've been doing it ever since. It's mostly just the younger guys and rookies that participate, but Glenn and Mick and a few of the older guys join us every once in a while."

They finally ushered her into the room and she had to laugh at what she saw. Almost twenty WWF superstars were sprawled out on the floor or in chairs and all of them looked like they were in pyjamas.

"Bout time you guys showed!" Adam called out.

"Yeah, we were beginning to hope, I mean think you guys weren't coming." Jason teased. Jeff went over and started tussling with him before flopping down and grabbing a handful of popcorn from one of the circulating bowls.

"Glad you could make it Chay!" Trish whispered as the lights went down and she, Amy and Matt grabbed a spot on the floor.

"Thanks. So what are we watching?" Chay asked in a whisper.

"I dunno," Amy shrugged. "Trish what are we watching?"

"Umm, I think Jase said we got A Knight's Tale, Pearl Harbour, and Moulin Rouge." Trish whispered back. Chaya smiled, the first two were ones she'd been dying to see. Just before the movie started a few more guys came in. Sillouted against the dim light were the two smaller frames of Peter Poloco and Sean Waltman and the two larger frames of Matt Bloom and Andrew. "So what'd I miss?" Peter announced loudly and the group of them busted up laughing as everyone turned to shush them.

"You really are a jerk!" Trish swatted Peter as he sat down next to her, mussing her pigtail braids. Chaya held her breath as Matt, Andrew and Sean followed, completely surrounding Trish and herself. She felt Andrew settle in behind her and she inwardly groaned.

"Nice Pjs Tish, wonder what the fans would think if they saw you in that get-up." Peter whispered, indicating the baggy violet set she was wearing that completely hid her million dollar figure.

"I'd be more interested in what they have to say about your Snoopy socks." Trish whispered back with a giggle.

"Hey, my wife gave these to me and they're the only clean pair I have!" Peter shot back as Sean rolled on the floor laughing.

"Will you guys shut up! We're trying to watch a movie here!" Adam whispered from another section of the floor. Everyone settled down after that. During the first couple of minutes, an arm came around Chaya, settling a bowl in her lap. "Popcorn." Andrew's husky whisper sounded near her ear, his breath causing her to shiver. She hoped it was dark enough that no one noticed. "Uh, thanks." She whispered back, afraid to move until she no longer felt the heat of his body against her back. She let out the breath she didn't even know she had been holding and tossed a couple of popped kernels into her mouth, sucking on the saltiness before chewing. She couldn't help but remember their first date.

"I thought your father was going to kill me when I came to pick you up." Andrew laughed, tossing a handful of popcorn into his mouth.

"Nah, Daddy just likes to bluster a lot. He's harmless."

"Harmless is not the word I'd use to describe a man who used to throw dead accurate with hammers." Chaya laughed until Andrew offered her a piece of popcorn. She went to take it with her fingers but he shook his head, holding it away. "Open." He told her and her entire body reacted to the command. She opened her mouth slightly and Andrew popped the kernel into her mouth, his fingers brushing her lips. She almost choked. She quickly took a sip of her Coke and smiled before turning back to her Twizzlers and the screen. His arm settled around her shoulders and she jumped. "You okay?" Andrew asked. "Yeah, fine." Chaya squeaked out. All the while her pulse was beating out of control. She couldn't believe that they were finally together. It had taken almost six months for Chaya to make him realize that she wanted him. And it had taken another six months to convince him that their age difference didn't matter. Suddenly she felt his eyes on her and she turned. "Why aren't you watching the movie?" she whispered.

"I'd rather watch you." he whispered back.

"Why?" Chaya asked shyly.

Andrew grinned and leaned in close to her ear."Because I never knew that eating licorice could be so damn sexy." Chaya flushed as red as the candy she was eating and Andrew kissed her. Neither of them noticed the movie ended until the lights came on.
