"I can't believe she's gone, I really hope she's ok," Stacy said with a melancholy tone to her voice

"This place just feels so empty with out her," Trish added

"You know, Evolution hasn't been the same since" Dave told the three girls Stacy, Trish, and Amy as they stood all around the refreshment table. It had been nearly a month since any one had seen or herd from Ali, after Mike took her back to England. Dave picked up a plastic spoon and stirred his coffee

"How's Randy taking all this?" Amy asked, Dave lowered his head and shook it slowly from side to side

"Poor guy hasn't been the same since; he tries to act like nothings the matter. But deep down inside I no he's hurt" Dave stood up straight and smoothed down his light grey suit and straightened his sunglasses "Well ladies it was fun chatting and all, but I have a match to get ready for, I'll see you girls later," Dave turned his back to them and walked down the hall sipping his coffee as he went. After he had finished he wiped his mouth and threw the empty cup over his shoulder. He pushed a big black door open and walked inside to see Randy facing the wall on the other side of the locker room; he was stretching and preparing for his match up next

"Hey man, you ok?" Dave said with a cheerier voice and a smile on his face,

Randy looked up at him, light shadows casting from underneath his eyes, his face was expressionless. He didn't look like the Randy Orton that every one had known to love, he looked like a suicidal Teenager ready to end there life, he turned back to face the wall and muttered "I'm Fine" obviously lying, his voice an octave lower than usual

"You don't look fine," Dave said still smiling "Come on cheer up,"

Randy didn't even look up at him, he carried on stretching, there was a long pause before anyone spoke again, Dave walked over to the black leather sofa and sat down, just behind Randy

"You love her don't you" Dave said his voice almost the same pitch as Randy's,

He spun around on the spot, his eyes wide, a look of complete confusion on his face

"What?" he said with a squeak

"This is why your acting like you are, some one took your girl. Now there's a chance that you may never see her again to tell her how you feel. You love Ali Randy, its plain to see" Dave finished

Randy stared at him blankly "Dave. Out if every one, you would be the first I would tell if I did, but I don't, she's just one of my closet friends that… I'll never see again… I just really miss her" Randy's voice broke off and Dave got to his feet and put his arm around his should

"We all do, you're just taking it the hardest because you were so close to her, sure me and Ali were close but not as close as you guys," he said in a sort of whisper.

Just at that moment Ric and Paul walked into the locker room, Dave removes his arm from around Randy's shoulder and he patted him on the back, and started to undress and get ready for his match

"Hey guys" Paul said looking from Dave to Randy "You ok man?" asked Randy sounding concerned

Randy nodded

"You better get going Randy man your match is up next," Ric added

"Yeah, I'll catch you guys later" Randy said grabbing his elbow pads and pulling them on as he walked out the door

"Poor guy" Ric said quietly and both Dave and Paul nodded

Meanwhile on the other side of the arena while all this was going on the Trish and Stacy returned to there locker room as Amy had a match to go prepare for. The two girls walked over the sofa they sit there for a while just talking about anything and every thing occasionally staring at the TV watching the match that was happening in the ring. When the door to the locker room opened, the girls continued to talk and did not notice the figure standing in the middle of the locker room. Trish looked to see a red haired woman standing there with different bags and luggage that she dropped on the floor

"Ali!" Trish screamed jumping to her feet and throwing her arms around her, Stacy did exactly the same; the girls held a long embrace that seemed like it went on for at least an hour

"How are you? What's happened? Are you ok? Sit down" they said bombarding her with questions and pushing her to the seat.

Ali told them everything how she got to England, how she did not like her family, how Mike treated her like crap, how he wouldn't let her make contact with anyone involved with the WWE, how she missed everyone and the WWE, how she was back for good "…. So I caught the next plane back to the States and here I am"

"Oh sweetie I'm so glad your back," Stacy said hugging her once again

"We have missed you so much; it has been so empty around here with out you"

Ali smiled "I've missed you girls to. But there's some one I got to go see I'll be back" she said getting out the chair and heading to the door

"Well you better hurry, Randy has a match next," Trish told her

Ali stopped "how did… " she broke off,

"Just go before you miss him" Stacy smiled,

Ali smiled back and ran out the locker room

She half ran half jogged down the hall towards the ring, people greeting her as she passed, as she got the tunnel entrance she heard Shelton Benjamin's music blasting threw the speakers and there sitting on some crates waiting to go through the black curtains, the one person Ali was wanting to see more than anything, Randy Orton. She smiled as she approached him, his expressionless face staring at the ground he shuffled his feet nervously and glanced up at the curtains then stared fixated on the shoes. She sat next to him on the crates,

"Why you looking so glum?" Ali asked him

Randy up looked suddenly to see a set of emerald green eyes staring back at him, his expressionless face suddenly burst into life as the biggest smile grew on his face

"Alicia" he whispered and threw his arms around her, he could feel tears welling up in his eyes. She was back.
