A couple of weeks later, Kara walked into the arena where Raw was being held for the night. She did keep in touch with Kevin as much as she could. Kara was so impressed with Kevin's actions that she made a decision right after he had left to join the federation. Ric and Paul were the only ones who knew of her plan and helped her as much as they could. She looked for Ric and Paul's locker room in the endless halls and finally found it after 15 mins of searching. She knocked on the door and Ric opened the door slightly, just to see who it is. Kara tried not to smile and said, "The Queen has arrived."
"Come on in," he said, opening the door wide enough for her to come in, and then looked out to make sure that no one had followed her.
As soon as he closed the door and locked it, he heard her say, "I need to get out of this disguise!" She started taking her queen disguise off. Ric and Paul laughed. She went into the bathroom and redid her makeup as well as a change of clothes. Paul and Ric had helped her bring her things earlier and all they needed to do was wait for her to arrive. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed, she sat on Paul's lap, who was reading his script for the night. "So anything for me?" she asked innocently.
Paul smirked, "Well, there is something. Let me look… ah, here it is, scare the crap out of Kevin."
Kara giggled. "I'm so glad that I'm back. I missed you guys!!!"
"I think I speak for Ric when I say that we both missed you," Paul said, hugging her.
"That's right, sweetheart," Ric chimed in. Someone knocked on the door and Ric said, "Who is it?"
"It's Kevin… I need to talk to both of you."
"Something bugging you?"
"I would feel more comfortable talking to both of you face to face without a door in between us," Kevin said, growing agitated.
"I'll take care of it," Ric said and headed out of the locker room to meet with Kevin. Once he was outside, he said, "What's the matter?"
"Couldn't we talk about this inside the locker room?"
"Paul's pissed off about something. He doesn't need to be bothered about anything," Ric explained.
"All right, I'll just go ahead and ask you. Have you heard from Kara? She was supposed to call me a couple of hours ago and I left several messages for her."
"You got me. Paul and I are the same way. We haven't heard anything from her for the past 24 hours," Ric said, really glad that he knew how to act because if he didn't, Kevin would have seen right through that lie.
"Damn, all right. You'll let me know if she gets in touch with you, won't you?"
"You'll be the first one to know," Ric said, smiling.
"All right," Kevin was eyeing Ric because he was smiling oddly for some obscure reason. He decided to ignore it and walked away towards catering.
Ric watched him leave and went inside. He sighed with relief and said, "That was a close call."
"What did he want?" Paul asked.
"Wanted to know if we have heard from Kara. By the way, Kev thinks that you're pissed off about something," Ric said, sitting down on the couch and picking up the script.
"Why does he think I'm pissed off about? He's going to be pissed with me especially with Kara sitting here on my lap," he said, hugging her. Kara laughed, smacking his arms. "Quit smacking me, woman!" That comment made her smack him even more.
"Kids, let's stop horsing around. Kev thinks that you're pissed because that's what I told him."
"Great, now I have to pull an unbelievable act with him when I see him," Paul said sarcastically and rolled his eyes.
Kara smacked him, "As if you can act!"
"You think that I can't act?" Paul said in mock horror. "I'm wounded," he said, placing his hand on his heart. "I don't know if I have the ability to act now because I'm too wounded," he said, pouting.
"That's not acting and you know it," Kara stated. They continued to chat and enjoy each other's company. An hour later, Kara said, "I'm getting a little hungry."
"Me, too," Paul said, "Let's see if we can do something about this. I don't want everyone to know that you're here, not until Ric calls you to the ring." Paul and Ric went into her suitcase as well as theirs to find something to disguise her with. Once they decided what to do, they told her to put it on.
Kara changed into disguise and looked into the full length mirror and laughed, "You guys are unbelievable. This looks nothing like me."
"Good, now let's get some food!" Paul said, grabbing her hand and leading everyone out to catering. They all got some food and ate.
Halfway through their meal, Vince came by and said, "Are you ready for your piece?"
"Yeah," Ric said, looking at Kara and smiling.
"Is she ready?" Vince asked, as he looked at Kara. She smiled and nodded. Vince and Kara had resolved everything when he had come to her apartment the day after Kevin had left. "Good, because your scene is coming up in an half an hour. Be prepared." With that said, they all left catering to get ready.
