A week later, Emily received an email from Vince McMahon; he was asking where she had been. God, she forgot entirely about him. She replied to the email quickly.

Hello Mr. McMahon,

Sorry about lack of notes and stuff. I just wanted you to know some bad things have happened to me while I have been working for you, and I am beyond terrified of the men I work with. I have, I believe, lost my only friend because of doing this.

I'm sure you know what I'm going for here, but just in case, I quit. Don't blame yourself – you did nothing but come up with the idea, and I accepted thoughtlessly. I have no one to blame but myself. I hope you value my opinions and understand why I am quitting on WWE.

Best of luck to you,

Emily M. Hollings

It seemed like a suitable enough "I Quit" letter, although she felt something was missing from it. Oh well.

After that night of quitting on WWE, Emily through herself into fixing her job with TNA.

She began to work out a lot, which was quite a stress reliever actually. She ate a lot more protein, and just ate a lot more in general actually. She wanted to follow what AJ had said and be ready when she comes back. Ready to take a beating. It was completely worth it now.

Her family disagreed – well at least her parents did. They insisted that she just give up TNA and find a new job and forget completely about it. But her brother was on her side. She loved her job, and she wanted it to be the way it was.

All my thoughts are with you forever,

Until the day

We'll be back together

I will be waiting for you

AJ was trying to forget about Emily.

It didn't seem right anymore, for her to simply be doing her job, and get the crap beat out of her. The only one who wouldn't hurt her was himself, as far as now goes. He felt like he needed to protect her even though she wasn't even there, and she was the only thing he could think about while wrestling. He needed to forget her right now – the day will come when she comes back to TNA, and he'll see her then – but right now he needs to focus on himself.

One night, after a match with Jeff Hardy, he walked down the halls backstage for a soda machine. America's Most Wanted was hanging out, along with Gail Kim.

"Where's your girlfriend been?" she asked.

"Healing, because of you people," he answered. "She's getting better, though."

They just sort of laughed. AJ somehow knew why they would always bring her up.

"You're bored," he said. They looked kind of confused at first.

"You're bored because you have no one to pick on," he said heatedly, "once she comes back you're just going to do it again because you've gotten so used to it. She doesn't carry the notes around anymore. It's not about the betrayal anymore, it's about her, and how she's the only one left for you to beat up. I can't believe I didn't realize in the first place how much of a dumbass you people are."

They were silent. He could see it behind their eyes that they knew he was right.

Next week Larry Zybszko told AJ not to worry about wrestling – he had no matches scheduled for tonight. He hung out, just in case she might arrive…

He looked at his cellphone, and he did have a text message from her.

Hi AJ,

You probably don't want to be talking to me right now, but I just want you to know I quit on WWE. I had completely forgotten about it, and when I did remember, it was the best thing for me just to quit.

Emily

"Get my message?" said a soft voice from behind him. He recognized it as Em's, but when he turned around, he didn't believe it was her.

She was wearing sunglasses and a black hoodie, with her usually loose curls tied back. She smiled at him. "I don't want them to know it's me," she said, "it's been effective so far. They thought I was one of the backstage workers."

He stared at her, shocked at first that she would come so early. His expression then changed into pure joy and he hugged her tightly. "Why right now?" he asked, still holding on to her.

"Because I feel better," she said, "I feel better and I'm just not scared anymore. I'm going to fix my job, and I'm going to fix our relationship."

"Fix your job?"

She pulled away from him and raised an eyebrow. "I told you -- I'm just not scared anymore. I quit WWE. It's going to be scary for me, but in order to fix everything I'm going to have to tell management that I was working for WWE. And what's the harm; nothing happened to TNA, right?"

"I don't know, Em, you might get suspended or something…" he said nervously.

"That's okay," she said, "because I'm still here no matter what. And I'm still with you."

- - -

They didn't end up telling management until next week, however. They were mad -- some even mad at the roster for beating Emily up instead of reporting her – but they didn't fire her because no harm came to TNA due to the small amount of information she gave to WWE. She was suspended, yes, but only for a month. It gave her a little more time to rest and heal entirely.

As for her and AJ, well, they grew closer and closer during her suspension; in fact some said it was safe to say they were in the boyfriend/girlfriend category. Emily's parents still weren't content – they had wanted her to date somebody outside of TNA (they had never been okay with her being a part of it in the first place), but she explained to them how happy she was with him, and how he felt the same, and they gave sympathy to her and tried to understand from there.

A month later

July 17th, 2006

Just around two months ago, Emily thought she would never be able to show her face in a TNA arena again without getting the holy hell beat out of her. Yet here she was, standing backstage with her boyfriend, perfectly fine, scheduled for a match tonight against Traci Brooks.

Sure she still got some evil looks from some of the roster, most notably James Mitchell and "Jarrett's Army", but nobody ever hurt her or even threatened to hurt her. That problem was all taken care of by management; "leave her alone or get fired," is what they said, and that shut them up.

When it came time for her match (which she was excited about due to a severe case of ring rust) AJ gave her a small kiss and fifty cents. She looked confusingly at the change.

"Just in case you need water from the soda machine," he said, reminding her of the first time she bumped into him, and him buying her that water…maybe it by fate that they met, or God, but whatever power did it, she couldn't thank it enough times.

"Don't get hurt out there," he said.

She smiled. "Ditto."

Traci came out first, being her normal cheerful self. Emily had made a fine friend out of her since the whole case with WWE had ended, and was glad to be having a match with her.

Ice Queen by Within Temptation hit, and Emily ran to the ring in her own style of wrestling gear – white glitter halter top (hence the title of her theme), blue mini skirt, double knee pads and some sneakers. Her and Traci shook hands and started what would turn out to be a 15-minute match.

It started out with some simple Irish whips, and got rougher as they attempted dives from the turnbuckle and clotheslines. Even though the match was competitive and slightly aggressive, they maintained their intelligence and were good sports. Emily won the match with a rollup. Traci seemed slightly put off by the win because Em hadn't wrestled in so long, but was happy enough anyways.

AJ ran down to the ring and held her hand up in victory. They kissed again in front of everybody.

Emily Marianna Hollings was back, in love and at last in peace.

Author's Note: Yup, that's it y'all! The end. Seems like a short story, but I'm pretty content with how it worked out and I hope my fans are too. Nice happy ending, lol. I can't wait to get started on some new stories that I'm sure you guys will love. You can PM me with some ideas if you want.
