--February 21st--

Tonight was the night. Dave announces to the world what title he will be going after. Of course, we all knew what he would do. And to be honest, I think all the fans knew what Dave's decision would be too.

I was sitting in the locker room waiting for the next Evolution segment to be taped. I was getting nervous, why I was getting nervous I have no clue. I bit my bottom lip and sighed. Paul looked at me, "You okay Andy?"

I looked over at him, "Yea. Just nervous is all." Paul looked at me questioningly. "And I know I have no reason to be, I just am." Paul smiled and gave me a small hug. I sighed, "I'm just not used to talking about Dave on tv without him actually present."

Paul nodded, "You'll do fine. Besides that, you're not saying anything mean. Why worry?" I nodded, "You're right. As always." Paul smiled and nodded, "Course I am." I rolled my eyes, "Don't get all cocky on me now bucko." Paul laughed and I stuck my tongue out at him.

A few minutes later we began taping. "Where the hell is he? He was supposed to be here an hour ago!" Natche tried to calm Triple H down, "I don't know man. I'm sure he's on his way. I've left messages for him all day." Then Triple H turned to me, "What about you? Has he said anything to you?"

I laughed at Triple H, "Of course I talked to him." Triple H's face turned red, "AND! WHAT DID HE SAY?" I smirked, "He said not to worry, he'll be here." Ric got in my face, "That's ALL he said?" I smiled, "Well… no. But none of the rest has anything to do with either of you." Triple H glared at me and Raw went to a commercial break.

"That's a wrap guys." Paul patted my back, "You did great Andy." The camera man reminded us that the next segment would be in 20 minutes. I smiled and thanked him. "So, wanna go over what happens for the next one?" I turned around and smiled at Dave.

I looked at the suit he was wearing. "Ooo.. Looking mighty fine today Mr. Batista." Dave smiled, "As are you Ms. Steffen." I smiled and Dave kissed my cheek. Ric smiled, "Okay. Let's get this over with." And we went thru what would happen during the next segment."

Triple H was stark raving mad, yet again. "He STILL hasn't called you back?" Ric shook his head no, "What if he makes the wrong choice H? What are we gonna do then?" Triple H's face got even redder, "He better make the right choice. I didn't waste all that money for nothing." I looked at Triple H oddly, "Don't worry Hunter. Dave will make the right decision. I have the utmost faith in him."

Triple H glared at me, "GET OUT!" My eyes got big and I started to grab my stuff, but stopped when I heard what Triple H was saying. "Do you know how hard it is to get Smackdown footage on Raw. And renting a limousine and putting those idiotic longhorns on it to make it look like JBL's!"

The camers turned to my shocked face and then I walked out of the room. "What that stupid little mother fu…" And as I left the room I ran into something, or should I say someone. My eyes got big and I smiled. There was Dave. And he had heard every word that Triple H had said.

--Later That Night--

I walked down to the ring with Dave, as everyone would expect. And there in the ring stood Triple H and Ric Flair. To make matters worse they had those huge smiles on their faces. I patted Dave's stomach, "You know what you have to do." Dave smiled down at me and nodded.

When we entered the ring each General Manager talked about why Batista should choose their brand. I rolled my eyes and yawned. Just as Dave was about to speak Triple H grabbed a mic. "Look, Dave… I know you probably have your mind made up already. But I know you'll do what's best for Evolution, and what's best for Evolution is best for you."

Dave smiled, "You're right. I've known what I was going to do for a while now." And he grabbed the smackdown contract, stared at it for a while, and threw it to the mat. Then he turned to Triple H and Ric and gave them the beat down. After Dave Batista Bombed Triple H thru the table he grabbed the Raw contract and signed it. He threw the contract on Triple H's crippled body.

I had been standing in the ring watching the chaos. Dave turned to me and I smiled at him. Dave got that smile of his on his face and I walked over to him. He pulled me into his arms and I wrapped my legs around his waist and we kissed. And that's the image that Raw went off the air with, Dave and I kissing with Triple H's body on top of the table right below us.
