Author's Note: I am still alive, I think.. Psychically I don't feel it sometimes but I digress. Gonna continue working through it like I have the past year. Anyways, hello, how are you guys doing? Anywho, I might focus on this one for a while, it should only have a few chapters left. Maybe like 3 after this one, I don't know. Originally this was gonna be a one-shot anyways so who knows with my brain. Last chapter, Sonya had an encounter with Daisy, who gave her much needed advice along with a little mind games. Now Daria looks to be off to the Trainer's room to get her shoulder examined. What will happen next? See you at the bottom..

Pairing: Sonya/Mandy

Rating: T (might change later, who knows)

If you don't like femslash don't read, do you expect anything less from theQueen of Femslash at this point.. I own nothing but the story idea itself, sadly..

Sonya's POV

The whole way to the trainer's room, I couldn't help but think about the conversation that I just had with Daisy. She's a coworker but I don't think we are really friends. We engaged in small talk but she's always buried in her work to converse long. I think I have had more conversations with Maria than the brunette. However there was something about her that made me open up to her. The only other person that I have confessed about my feelings to is Mella. That was easy. She's like my sister. We have that deep connection and I haven't seen her since she congratulated me for my win with the others. Shit.. I hope she's doing okay. Corey's ex posted about their relationship and now people are swarming them with heinous things and even death threats. I need to go see her after I go see Doctor Robinson. I looked at the door and released a long sigh. A heavy weight was starting to rear its ugly head. I knocked on the door and heard my cue to come in.

I want to play it off like nothing is wrong but that will only worsen the problem. I could be on the shelf for months even a year if it's severe enough. Of course something like this had to happen right after our big moment. We finally got the belts and now we might have to surrender them. Not on my watch, Mandy would be so disappointed. We ran through some simple tests being careful not to agitate it. That lasted for a few minutes. I sat on the chair and started filling out the form that was given to me. Everytime that I saw him write down some notes, a lump formed in my throat. Every minute seemed to pass like an eternity while I was waiting for the doctor to tell me what was wrong with my shoulder. The pain wasn't substantial but it was enough to make me wince every now and again. Another couple minutes passed and I finished the paperwork and handed it to him. He looked down at the paper and nodded, he spoke. "So looking at all of this stuff, no running, jumping, absolutely no psychicality."

That's what I was afraid of. It's definitely going to keep me out for a bit. "How can I get cleared? Is it.." I knew what I wanted to say but the words wouldn't leave my lips.

"One day you will do cardio. Next day you will do resistance training. What I can think of doing is sending you to the Performance Center. That way you can do bumps and simulate a match for like five, six minutes or something like that. Then fly you from there to TV and see the doctor there. If it's totally normal, we can start the processing." All I am thinking is how long am I going to be out? How much tv time am I going to miss? Hopefully it's just for a week, but I have the pride parade this week. And to have something like my shoulder be the thing that's going to stop me, it would be devastating. "You have to bump before we can actually clear you."

"Okay. Thank you." With that I grabbed my title belt and trudged my way out of the trainer's room. Ha that has a nice ring to it, my title. Mandy and I are going to have these babies for a long time. It was a blessing that they trusted us with being the first champions. For months, the finish was going to be with Bayley and Sasha winning. That was the plan from the very beginning. I wonder what made them reconsider last second, no I shouldn't waste time thinking about that. I am forever thankful. My focus will be recovering after I confess my feelings to Amanda. Can I muster up the courage to really tell her tonight? What if she rejects me? What if that ruins our friendship? I instantly thought of one of the last things Daisy told me before she walked away. If I don't talk to Amanda, I am going to live my life in regret wondering what if. She could end up in the arms of someone else and I can't bear the thought of that. No. I shook my head vigorously from side to side, I needed to erase all of those negative thoughts. Tonight is the night. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through the messages until I found Mella's name. 'Hey honey, are you feeling any better? Are you still coming out tonight?' I might as well start heading back to the locker room and getting ready in the meantime so I don't end up being late. All the girls should be heading out after the show and Trin is going to pick the place that we are going. Some of the girls get a little wild whenever they drink but it provides great entertainment. My phone started to ring and I was quick to answer it. "Hey boo."

"Hey… Where are you at?" Her voice was strained and it was obvious that it was due to all the crying. People have been ruthless about something they don't even know about. Carmella isn't some kind of homewrecker, she didn't break up a family. That isn't true. My heart hurts for my best friend, I just don't know how to make things better. All I can do is be here for her conditionally and I plan on it.

"Just left the trainer's room, I am going to get ready in the locker room now. Are you doing any better?"

"No.. I was an ass to Corey and.. all he did was try to help me." That's right after talking to me, I remember her saying that she was going to try and find him. "I am planning on talking to him after the show and meeting up with you after. Is that cool with you?"

"Yeah yeah totally, I need to talk to you about something later. It's not as important as this situation, but we talked about it before." I spoke vaguely making sure that no one could understand what I would be talking about. Last thing I need is someone hearing me and running to tell my goddess if I mentioned her name. "I think I am going for it. Tonight."

"Oh my god Daria!" Leah squealed excitedly which caused my ear drums to suffer greatly. God I love her but at the same time, volume needs to be turned down just a tad. I won't hear about the end of this if I don't go through with it now. Carmella released a sigh. "Okay okay. Let me clear my head with Graves first and I will holla at you."

With that we said our farewells for the time being as I finally arrived at the locker room. There were still bags laying around but it was mostly empty. A lot of the girls tend to migrate over to catering after cleaning up. A couple girls lingered in the locker room, one of them being Nia and the other being the wife of Daisy, Maria Kanellis. The redhead seemed to have their daughter with them as Nia was playing with her. Savelina is great with kids, Brie's daughter, Birdie, loves her so much. Maria took notice of my arrival and smiled. "Hey Daria, congratulations. You ladies put on quite the show. How's your shoulder doing?"

How does she know that I managed to tweak my shoulder during the match? Was it that obvious that I was injured? "It's okay. Might be out for a week or two but nothing serious." I turned my attention briefly to the Saoman woman, who managed to take a big bump of her own during the chamber match. "How are you doing Savelina? You hit the pod pretty hard."

"I am fine. We put on a great show. This little princess right here made everything better." She cooed, leaning over to poke the infant on the nose. Freddie let out a giggle at the antics of the taller woman. "Alright. I am going to meet with the others for some snacks before we party hard. I will see you ladies later tonight. Bye little Princess." With that she left the locker room and I walked over to where my bag was sitting. Amanda's stuff is gone so I am pretty sure that she already got dressed and ready for tonight. I wonder what she's wearing. It doesn't matter, a goddess such as herself could make a trash bag flattering.

"She's worried about you Daria. I could tell whenever she came in here a bit ago." It was Maria that spoke over the tiny coos of her daughter. I didn't realize that the redhead was still lingering about. "Amanda left here about five minutes before you got here. Looking like quite the snack I might add."

That last statement caught me off guard as I snapped my head back to look at the grin on the redhead's face. Why did she have to go and say something like that? I wonder if she's also picked up on my supposedly obvious ogling of my goddess. "My best friend is gorgeous, I expect no less."

"I see that's where you stand on it. I don't know what you are waiting for; I'd pounce while she's still single. How she is single is a mystery beyond me? Maybe she's waiting for a certain stud of a woman to make a move." I turned around fully to face the redhead, who playfully tapped her finger on her chin. Maria has definitely talked to her wife at some point since I was in the trainer's room. Did the brunette blab about my secret?

"You too huh? Did your wife talk to you about it?"

"No. You are totally obvious. It's easy to see that your feelings are more than just 'best' friends." Great now this well kept secret has been exposed twice within hours of each other, I keep outing myself. Daria, you need to stop being so stupid. "What did my wife tell you?"

"Not to make the same mistakes that she once did. That if I continue to wait, I will live in regret and Amanda might end up with someone else. She also said something about battling a spider queen, an obsessed psychopath and a witch before you guys got your happy ending. I still don't understand what that means." Seriously the only thing that makes sense is a psychopath, but why did she have to be so vague about it.

Maria let out a small chuckle while rocking Freddie back and forth in her arms. It seems the little one was starting to get all tuckered out. "That's my Daisy for you, she gave some good advice. I am not perfect either, I made my own mistakes. But she's right, you have to try. Fear is temporary but regret lasts forever." Those words sunk deep into my core, the redhead was absolutely right. I am afraid about the whole ordeal, it's been holding me back for so long. Mandy has already had a relationship while my feelings were strong. The blonde won't wait forever, I can't be as lucky as them, could I? They went three and a half years without each other. "I'll leave you be. I will see you later, and if you need any help. I can help you sweep a goddess off her feet. I am a sucker for a good love story." As much as I appreciate the offer from Maria, this should all be my doing. I want it to come solely from my heart. The redhead grabbed her infant and walked out of the locker room with all of her belongings. Okay I need to start getting ready, and a long shower is the perfect time to think of a plan to confess my feelings.

Author's Note: I really do like these shorter chapters, it provides me a little less stress. It's easier for people to read too. I just gotta find a constant muse and this story could be done soon and one less off my plate. Sonya is getting more needed advice from another source this time. Good. She doesn't seem to be backing down at all. I wonder what Sonya's plan will be? Will she win the heart of her goddess? Maybe you'll find out in a decent time.. We shall see, until next time.

If you liked the chapter and how the story is going so far.. please review, fav and/or follow. It means a lot and shows that people like what I write..
