"So how was your night?" John asked Randy and Stacy the next morning while they were on the elevator coming down for breakfast.
"Terrific! We're engaged." Stacy said proudly as she showed John her engagement ring. John just smiled and didn't bother telling Stacy that she picked the ring for them.
"Congratulations again, man." John said to Randy and hugged Stacy in a friendly way. The three of them came out of the elevator as it came to a halt.
"Thanks." Randy and Stacy said together as they walked to the restaurant of the hotel.
"Speaking of last night. How did it go with Torrie?" Randy asked him cheerfully, expecting a happy reply from his best friend. But instead John didn't answer. Not right away. Stacy snapped her fingers in front of him.
"Hey, John. You there? What's wrong?" Stacy asked him.
"Uh. Well, it was okay." John just answered and left Randy and Stacy gawking at his back as he walked away from them.
"What's wrong with him?" Randy thought out loud while scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah. Maybe something went wrong." Stacy answered, thinking about John's sudden change of attitude.
"Maybe I should go talk to him. And uh, you go talk to Torrie. What do you think?" Randy suggested.
"That would be a great idea I think. Maybe after breakfast?" Stacy pouted and Randy just laughed when he heard the sound of Stacy stomach.
"See I told you I'm hungry." Stacy said as she slapped Randy's arm playfully.
"I can see that. Looks like my fiancée does have a big appetite." Randy joked and Stacy just laughed with them and continue walking towards the restaurant part of the hotel, pushing the thought of John and Torrie to the back of their heads.
John was nowhere to be found in the restaurant. Randy noticed it immediately the moment they entered the restaurant. Torrie wasn't in there either.
"Maybe they've eloped!" Randy said stupidly.
"Uh, earth to Randy. John was acting bummed when we mentioned Torrie this morning. What are the chances that they've eloped when they seemed to be in a fight." Stacy said giving Randy a duh look.
"How do you know all these things?" Randy asked surprisingly, Stacy just raised Stacy and gave him an I-can't-believe-you're-asking-me-that look. Randy just shrugged his shoulders, waiting for Stacy's answer.
"I'm a girl. I know how these things go." She answered simply and picked up the table napkin and wiped the side of her lips with it.
"Catch you later." Stacy said and kissed Randy full on the lips.
"Where are you going?" Randy asked her.
"You were going to talk to John right? And I'm going to talk to Torrie. I'll catch you later honey." Stacy said. "I love you." She whispered before setting off.
"Women." Randy thought and shook his head. Then he sat up and went to the place he knew where John would be…
"Hey John." Randy said as he poked his head inside a city pub. It was completely deserted except for the two people in there, John and the bartender. John raised hi head up and saw Randy Orton coming towards him.
"Hey Randy." He replied back then gulped one shot of martini.
"It's you." John replied nonchalantly as he ordered another shot.
"I don't know what happened last night between you and Torrie. And I know this is actually none of my business but you know that if you have a problem you can really talk to me. So spill it out man." Randy sat as he sat beside his bestfriend. John looked at Randy's ring finger, he knows that one of these days, there's going to be a wedding band in it. He looked at his face and sighed.
"Well alright. Here goes…" John started.
Meanwhile…
"Torrie? Are you in there? It's me Stacy…" Stacy said as she knocked softly on Torrie's hotel room. She was getting worried by the minute. All the time she was knocking on her friend's door, there was this odd and faint music from within and she could hear sobs.
"What could have John done to make Torrie act like this?" Stacy asked herself wonderingly. She was still knocking softly while thinking when Torrie finally opened the door. Stacy saw that Torrie has this very funny smile plastered on her face and her eyes were red and swollen. Stacy just raised an eyebrow and let herself in.
"What happened?" Stacy asked carefully.
"What do you mean what happened?" Torrie asked and never removing her funny smile.
"Tor, you know you don't make such a great actress. Plus your eyes are all red and puffy. What happened?" Stacy pointed out as she sat on the comfy loveseat.
"I was watching a movie. A sad love story." Torrie reasoned.
"You don't have to lie you know. I know something's wrong. John's been acting fishy at breakfast." Stacy told her. "Plus he was not looking happy at all. And why were you not down at breakfast?" Stacy added.
"I… I…" and Torrie surrendered. She knew she couldn't lie all her life. She needs an outlet. She needs a friend who'd listen to her. She looked at Stacy. She has always been there ever since she entered the industry. She sighed and sat down beside Stacy.
"Billy ruined my night. He ruined our night. Billy ruined my life!" Torrie exclaimed suddenly. Stacy was shocked with her sudden outburst.
"When we arrived at the bar. I was so nervous." Torrie said.
(okay, guys, this part is a split scene between John and Torrie. they are not in the same place okay?)
"I guess we were both nervous." John meanwhile said to his friend Randy.
"You got nervous on a date?" Randy asked incredulously. "You're kidding man."
"No I'm not Randy. It's different with Torrie. It's not like any other dates I had in the past." John said.
"It was the most perfect night in my life." John said to Randy. He was looking at the door blankly.
"She sang this classic song." John continued as he reminisced at what happened the night before.
"Everlasting Love… That what I sang last night." Torrie said to Stacy.
"The vocalist of the band saw me and he called me to sing. Then he saw that I was with John." Torrie said as a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Then what happened?" Stacy asked curiously.
"The people in the bar was really curious to see us together." Torrie replied.
"Then after she sang. We danced." John said.
"It was so romantic! It was like my first dance back in high school!" Torrie said as her eyes shone brightly.
"But Kidman came along." John said to Randy.
"Billy Kidman?" Randy asked, he was purely shocked.
"Yeah." John answered.
"I thought Billy was away..." Stacy wondered out loud.
"He threatened me Stace, he said that if i don't give him money he'll spread my secret!" Torrie said in the verge of tears.
"No way! Don't worry, we'll find a way to stop him." Stacy assured Torrie. Torrie hugged Stacy gratefully.
"Thanks." she said.
"Wait, hold on. But what happened before Billy showed up?" Randy asked.
"I told you we danced." John said.
"And?" Randy urged John to spill it out.
"Before she left, she kissed me..." John said, he was a bit dazed at the thought he was remembering. Randy patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry man, things will be clearer one way or another. Just fight for her, you know?" Randy advised him.
"For being two men who are so different from each other, you do have something common with Batista." John told him and smiled as he remembered what Batista had told him last night.
"We really are different..." Randy admitted.
Later that night as the superstars reached the arena…
"Ah just the people I want to see!" Theodore Long said as he clapped his hands when he saw John, Randy and Stacy walking towards the arena.
"Mr. Long!" Randy greeted the SmackDown General Manager, Stacy just smiled at him.
"Sup man?" John said as he shook hands with the older man.
"I really want to you." Theodore Long said to them more seriously.
"What about Mr. Long?" Stacy asked curiously.
"To my office. Come on." He replied and led the way. John and Randy looked at each other quizzically and followed the GM.
"Well?" Randy asked when he closed the door of Long's office.
"MNM." Mr. Long said to them. Stacy raised an eyebrow.
"MNM has been bugging me to meet you in a match. They've been bugging me nonstop. I'm getting tired of their usual talk on how they should be WWE Tag Team Champions." Theodore Long said exasperatedly.
"So? We face them in a match tonight!" John said just like it was nothing as he leaned back to his chair.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Randy agreed.
"Well then, tonight. It will be MNM against Randy and John for a non-title match." Theodore said.
"Why not make it a title match Mr. Long. It will be worth fighting for." Stacy asked.
"No Stacy. I have something bigger in mind." The GM said as he smiled inwardly.
"Okay now that was weird." Stacy said to the two guys after they came out of Theodore Long's office.
"Whatever he wants." John just muttered darkly when he saw MNM coming towards them.
"So what's it like to be WWE Tag Team champions?" Nitro asked them arrogantly.
"Yeah does it feel great?" Mercury added.
"You better savor that feeling because we're taking our titles back!" Melina piped in.
"Aww too bad honey! We're actually planning on keeping it with us longer." Stacy answered in a sarcastic tone.
"Don't be so sure Legs." Mercury said as he eyed Stacy's body. This didn't came unnoticed to Randy who quickly grabbed Mercury's fur collar.
"You're getting your eyes off my girl or I'm gonna beat you to pieces." Randy threatened and pushed Mercury away.
"Chill man!" Nitro said. Stacy glared at MNM and went beside Randy.
"See you tonight!" John said as he shoved Nitro aside and the three of them walked pass them.
"Oh and before I forget, we are totally going to kick your ass later tonight." Stacy said before finally walking away.
"Alright folks. Let's get down to our main event here in Hartford, Connecticut! WWE Tag Team Champions Randy Orton and John Cena are going to square off against MNM." Tazz said over the mic on the commentator's table.
"Right! Their rivalry has started when the team of Randy Orton and John Cena defeated MNM to get the Tag Team Titles last month." Michael Cole added.
"Since then, MNM has been bugging for a match against the new champs!" Tazz said.
"Enough talk Tazz, let's watch as these guys do it on the ring!" Michael Cole said as he waited with anticipation. MNM came down the ramp as 'paparazzi' took pictures of them. Then the mix of Randy, John and Stacy's entrance music came on the loudspeaker.
Randy and Nitro started the match...
