AN: Congratulate me! It's been a REALLY long time since I've been able to pull out two updates within one week. I was thinking of continuing this chapter but I had already gotten to six pages and I didn't want to make the chapter too long. Hope you guys enjoy and please, read and review!

I Disclaim...wish I owned them, but sadly I don't.

Things were finally in place and all Trish and Amy were left to take care of was themselves. Amy was still in the shower and Trish just finished straightening out her hair. She left it straight and silky. After the chaotic day she had and considering that there was still ways to go until it was done, she couldn't be bothered to figure out what kind of hairstyle to wear. As she began packing away all of Amy's hair supplies, she couldn't help but laugh at the situation. They were busting their asses off getting everything together for a surprise party for Chris and the damn thing wasn't even a surprise! Amy had given in to him but Trish gave him hell just for the fun of it. That is until he had promised to somehow make it up to her. She could sucker him into doing anything and that's one of the reasons she loved him so much and when the party was finished, she'd have plenty of time to think of all the way he could make it up to her and Amy. She heard the bathroom door open to reveal Amy.

"Ames…what should I wear?" Trish asked as her eyes darted to the bed decorated with various outfit options.

"Something sexy…"Amy replied with a wink.

"That's not fair, I helped you pick out your outfit to the very last detail and that's all you've got for me?" Trish whined.

"What don't you look great in?" Amy asked.

"I don't know, how about oversized black pumps and a large potato sack…I think I'll just wear that" Trish said sarcastically though she couldn't hide the hint of her smile when she saw Amy's expression.

"Besides, you're the one that stressed the fact that I had to look extra hot tonight and you're just leaving me high and dry."

"Okay, I'm sorry…you're right. I…." Amy stopped at the interruption of Trish's laughter.

"What?"

Trish collected herself and then replied,

"Couldn't you just imagine Chris's expression if he entered his surprise birthday party and saw us both wearing potato sacks….he'd have a field day with that!" Trish said she continued giggling as was soon joined by Amy.

The girls quickly got back into serious mode so that they could solve Trish's wardrobe dilemma.

"How about pants…" Trish suggested.

"No!" Amy practically yelled, causing Trish to jump back slightly.

"Sorry…I mean, you've got great legs, I think you should wear a short skirt…like really short" Amy emphasized.

Trish looked at her quizzically.

"You know what…why don't you go check on the caterers and make sure they've got the rest of the food setup at the party hall and I'll pick out your outfit.

"Okay…" Trish said giving her friend a weird look. Something was going on and Trish was sure she'd find out soon enough. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Randy put his shoes and looked in the mirror for the hundredth time, making sure everything was still in place. He had been dressed and ready to go for an hour now but he couldn't shake the nerves inside of him. He knew she was going to be there, that was like the most obvious assumption and he wasn't sure how he was suppose to approach her after their kiss on the pier.

'What if she had forgotten all about?' He thought to himself.

That kiss was the only thing that was on his mind for days now and he wasn't sure how comfortable he felt in seeing her again so soon in such a crowded place where he was sure guys would be trying to get lucky with the blonde. The thought itself made Randy's blood boiled. He didn't own her and he wasn't her boyfriend so there was no reason he should care who did what with Trish….but the fact was, he did care and the only person he wanted Trish to be doing anything with was with him.

There was a knock at the door and he gladly accepted the intrusion. He opened the door and it would be an understatement to say that he was surprised.

"Stacy?" he asked in confusion.

"Hey Randy…mind if I come in?" she asked. He stepped out of the way and allowed her space to walk in.

As soon as she made it in a bit further into his hotel room she turned around.

"I hope it's okay, but I was talking to Dave and he mentioned you were already in town and he gave me the hotel and room number. I haven't seen you in a while."

"Oh….uh, ya…of course it's no problem. You're right, we haven't seen each other in a while. How are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm doing great. Actually, I'm just gonna cut to the chase. I wanted to come over and ask you if you wanted to go to the party with me. I know it's short notice but the word is that you don't have a date and neither do I, so…." She looked at him intently, watching his expression. She could see a bit of anxiety but she pretended to be none the wiser about it.

"Uh….I thought you'd be going with John" he said, getting a little off topic.

"John and I are just friends…and besides, I know you better and I like spending time with you so I know we'll have a good time. And, I won't have to worry about all the rumours about me and John together because I'll be with you" she said with a smile on her face.

Randy wasn't sure of what he should do. How did he expect to talk to Trish if he had to spend the entire time with Stacy by his side? He knew he didn't have the heart to say no though, especially after the guilt he felt about copping out on their relationship because of his feelings for Trish.

"Alright…sounds like fun" he said.

"Umm, are you ready?" he asked as he looked at her simple black mini dress. She looked ready.

"Yeah, I am if you are" and with that he held out his hand and as she linked arms she prayed that the plan would work.

"Hold on, lemme just fix the tie in the back" Amy grumbled as she tried to get Trish to stay in one place.

"Okay, I'm just trying to fix my boots" Trish replied as she continued to zip them up.

"Okay…done" Amy said as she looked at Trish's reflection in the mirror.

"Girl, you look hot…I'd do you" Amy said and winked at Trish in the mirror. Trish laughed and replied to the reflection in the mirror.

"Right back at ya babe."

Both women laughed and Trish turned around to survey Amy's outfit one last time to make sure everything was in place. The fiery red mini dress complimented Amy well, especially her hair. She also wore a black beaded hip belt to accent her curves and thigh high stiletto boots. She donned hanging black earrings that were to die for. When they both went shopping, Amy stubbornly fixated on looking for an outfit that was black and red and there was no relenting. Amy had a similar idea with the black trend when picking out Trish's outfit, except she went with black and gold. Trish wore leather stiletto boots with a short satin and pleaded mini skirt. She wore a thin gold belt that had little gold balls decorated along the belt and a matching gold top that had a low cut front, showed a little bit of belly and a whole lot of back. She matched it off with gold chandelier earrings and the colours were exceptionally complimentary to her blonde mane and tanned skin.

"Okay, everything is in order at the party hall, right?" Amy asked as she grabbed her handbag.

"Everything's on schedule" Trish informed her.

"Awesome…so let's go then. Jay and Adam are already there greeting the guests so people should be filing in by now."

Trish turned around one last time to check herself out in the mirror where she caught the smirk on Amy's face.

"What?" she asked as she turned around to look at her best friend.

"Nothing…you look great" Amy said avoiding the real reason for her smirk.

"You're up to something Amy and I will find out what it is" Trish said as she playfully stuck her tongue out at Amy as she passed her by and made her way out of the room. Amy let her pass and watched as she sauntered away. She shook her head and smiled to herself.

"Trust me, you'll find out all in due time."

Stacy was in the far corner of the party hall talking up a storm with Lisa Marie while Randy had just finished a conversation with Shelton. Randy was on his way over to get a drink when he noticed the object of his affections walk through the doors, arms linked with Amy's. They both looked amazing, but boy was Trish a vision for sore eyes. He stood there for a couple of minutes taking her in and calming his nerves as he watched her and Amy go around and meet all the guests. Everyone who was there knew just how important Trish was to both Amy and Chris so Randy understood that she was being a good co-hostess but he wanted to talk to her badly and he had no idea how to do it. After a few moments, Trish broke away from Amy and looked up to see him. She seemed surprised to see him but she smiled his way anyways. He took a step forward, ready to make his way over but just then he felt Stacy grab his arm and move closer to him. She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek and if he hadn't known any better, it seemed like she was starting to flit with him.

"Stace…have you already started drinking?" he asked curiously. She giggled and shook her head emphatically. He looked up to see the look of confusion on Trish's face but she quickly recovered and moved her sights and thoughts back to the guests.

Randy bit his bottom lip in nervousness but his thoughts of Trish were interrupted by the tall blonde by his side.

"Let's get a couple of dances in before we get ready to surprise Chris" she said in his ear. He nodded, not paying attention to what she just said, his eyes still trained on Trish. He felt his arm being tugged towards the dance floor and away from all the conversation.

Trish watched from the corner of her eye as Randy and Stacy moved to the dance floor. Stacy was pressed up close as Randy held her hips and they moved to the music.

'Why the hell are they here together?' she asked herself. She was sure they had broken up. Now she felt like a total fool but a part of her couldn't help but feel the anger well up inside her. Anger that was directed at Randy. He kissed her back on the pier! He held her close and there was so much passion. He lead her on! For days all she could think about was their kiss and now here he was dancing up against Stacy and here she was made to feel like an idiot for actually thinking that maybe she should consider telling him her newly discovered feelings. It hurt….a lot, but she wasn't going to let Randy Orton get the best of her. She didn't need him to have a good time.

She felt Amy's hand wrap around her shoulder.

"Isn't it almost time for the surprise?" Amy asked as she yelled over the music.

"Ya, you get everyone to settle down and I'll go out and call Dwayne and tell him to bring him in" Trish yelled back. Both women nodded in understanding and left to go about getting things prepared.

10 minutes later…..

Everyone stood in the middle of a dark party hall waiting for the birthday boy to show up. Amy and Trish both stood on either side of the doorframe while Dwayne and Paul lead Chris in. Just as it was planned and to none the wiser, Chris certainly fooled everyone into thinking that he had no clue. After the first few moments he allowed his pretend shock to wear off, he moved to the corner and gave his girlfriend and hug and a hot kiss that had everyone applauding. He pulled away and blushed and then turn to the other side and grabbed Trish in a bear hug.

"So how did I?" he whispered.

Trish slapped his back and giggled.

"You deserve fucking Oscar…" Trish replied.

He pulled away and gave her a wink. "I know I'm that good but it's always nice to know that my work is appreciated by others as well" he replied in his usual cocky manner before leaning down and giving her a kiss on the cheek. He then moved on to meet with everyone else in attendance and thanking them all for showing up. He also went as far as to scold a few of his closer friends for not telling him about the party. Trish and Amy shared a moment of playful eye rolling and mimicking, courtesy of Chris. Their fun was interrupted by a tall, brunette who was unfamiliar to Trish.

"Hey Amy" the man greeted. Amy smiled and leaned in a for a hug before turning around again to face Trish.

"Trish, this is Chris' old neighbour from Winnipeg. He flew in just for the party" Amy said.

"Oh, that's so sweet" Trish said smiling.

Amy then noticed Chris beckoning her to come over so she politely excused herself.

"Um, I'm Josh…" the man said breaking the silence. Trish, who was secretly taking peeks at Randy and Stacy turned her surprised attention towards the taller man.

"Oh..I'm so sorry. Where are my manners?" She laughed.

"I'm Trish" she said, extending her hand for a handshake. He laughed and shrugged off her apology.

"I know who you are….I was wondering if I could have a dance with you?" he asked hopefully. She couldn't help the quick glance her eyes made in Randy's direction. She quickly turned back to meet the gaze of the handsome who was trying to get a dance from her. She wasn't sure, but she thought she saw Randy looking somewhere in her direction and the last thing she wanted was for him to think she was checking him out.

"I'd love to dance with you" she replied and grabbed his hand and lead him to the dance floor.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

One dance, lead to two, which lead to three and now Randy was beginning to jump out of his skin. She was blatantly flirting with the guy as he touched and whispered things in her ears and she seemingly laughed on cue at everything he was saying. Randy wasn't sure if he felt more embarrassed or angry that Trish seemingly forgot about their encounter days before or whether she was simply trying to tell him that she wasn't interested.

He grabbed Stacy's hand while she was talking to Chris, Amy and Dave.

"Let's dance" he said with confidence. He'd show Trish Stratus that she wasn't the only woman around….though for him, there was no one as important as her, but he'd never let her know that now.

Stacy sent a quick look at the three before allowing Randy to drag her off to the dance floor.

"How angry do you think they are at one another?" Dave asked as he watched the two couples on the floor with a laugh.

"Pretty angry….it's like a silent war between them on the dance floor" Chris observed.

"Do you think it's a good idea to keep pushing them like this?" Chris continued as he turned around to look at Amy and Dave.

Both Dave and Amy nodded.

"They both know they have strong feelings for one another. In Randy's case, he's actually worried about rejection and in Trish's case, she's just realized what an idiot she was for not seeing her feelings for so long. I doubt that she would run around proclaiming her love for her so soon after her realization" Amy said observantly.

"I agree….after this dance, we gotta get both of them off the dance floor so we can go ahead with the next part of the plan. If this doesn't work, then they're both just incredibly hopeless" Dave replied with a sigh.

"Don't be so negative….it'll definitely work. I know Trish better than I know Randy, but I do know that Trish can't keep her mouth shut for long….they're gonna fall for it" Amy said with a laugh.

By the time they contemplated with each other, the song was done and Stacy, as discussed earlier, knew exactly what she had to do. She whispered something in Randy's ear and led him off the dance floor while Amy looked at Chris and Dave.

"Chris, you gotta get Trish off of the dance floor. You know what to do right?" Chris nodded, a huge smile on his face.

"Yep….it's show time!"
