Stacy, Lita, and Trish stood in front of the bathroom mirrors fixing up their hair and make-up. The Mardi Gras ball had already started and all the lovely ladies looked their absolute best.
Lita wore a red strapless fluffy dress with a matching red mask, her dress was as red as her hair and she wore her down in curls and had ruby red stud earings and a ruby red necklace. She looked astonishing.
Trish wore a sky blue dress with big sleeves and a matching baby blue mask. Trish wore her hair up with loose curls dangling in her face. She had a diamond bracelet on along with a matching diamond neckalce. She looked amazing.
Stacy had worn a white dress that was fluffy from the waist down. She had a beautiful white mask and she wore her hair half up and half down in curls. Stacy was wearing pearl earings, a pearl necklace and a pearl bracelet. She looked exactly like Hilary Duff did in A Cinderella Story. All of the girls looked breath taking.
Everyone of the girls had dates except Stacy. Randy and Stephanie had trainig the night of the ball so he couldn't make it, so she had to come alone and that made her feel terrible. Lita came with Chris which was considered more of just hanging out than a date. And of course Trish showed up with Paul Levesque. Stacy knew that her coming with him would be a major mistake and she tried to talk her out of it but she wouldn't listen. Stacy wasn't sure if John was going to come or not, she begged and pleaded with him to come because she didn't want to be there alone, but he refused because he didn't want to wear a tux.
Stacy finished applying her make-up and placed her mask back on, she turned to look at her friends and motioned for them to meet her outside. Stacy exited the restroom and stood at the top of the staircase and looked down at all the couples dancing blissfully to the soft music. Stacy sighed when she imagined herself sitting to the side watching everyone have fun except her. Stacy quickly decided that being there was a bad idea so she turned around to walk away but was stopped when she ran into someone's chest that felt like a brick wall.
"I am so sorry." Stacy apologized feeling embarrassed.
"Don't tell me the clock struck midnight and it's time for Cinderella to leave the ball." The man said examing the beautiful blonde.
"Ha, no it's not midnight." Stacy laughed, the man was wearing a black mask with a regular tuxedo, but he also wore a black with the hood over his head so it was hard for Stacy to see who the man was. "Well I better be going now, goodnight." Stacy walked passed the man, but stopped when he spoke.
"You look beautiful Keibs." Stacy turned around and walked over to the man and pulled off his hood.
"John!" Stacy exclaimed as she jumped up and hugged him. "You came." Stacy said with gratefulness.
"Yeah well you just looked so pathetic earlier, I also thought I should come and make sure Paul doesn't do anything to hurt Trish." John said as he glanced over to where Trish and Paul were standing.
Stacy looked over to where his focus was and she pulled him so that he was facing her.
"John, you have to let go ok. Just leave her alone. She has to learn on her own." Stacy said as she looked into John's eyes.
"Just like you did?" John snapped
Stacy's eyes looked sad at his comment.
"John how long are you going to keep throwing that in my face? I thought we were past that, you and Randy are friends now so why are you still angry." Stacy questioned John as she pulled him to the side.
"Well let's see the fact that Randy blew you off tonight so he could wrestle really tops all the shit he's ever pulled." John replied with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Wrestling is his passion and his future career, so why I am I going to stand in the middle of his dream? It wouldn't be right, that would be like me telling you to choose between me and your rapping." Stacy said trying to make him understand.
"Ya see that wouldn't be a problem for me because I would choose you, I will always choose you!"
"What does it matter? Your here, your the hero. So can we please do our best and make this night one of the best that I will ever have? and if you really want to stick it to Randy then make me forget that he isn't here. Can you do that?" Stacy asked as she looked over John's face.
"Anything for Cinderella." John smiled as he took Stacy's hand and walked down the staircase with her making a grand entrance.
When Stacy and John finally reached the dance floor they glided around enjoying eachothers company with smiles and laughs. Stacy was quite shocked by the way John was dancing and she wasn't the only one.
Trish took her eyes off of Paul and scanned the dance floor and her jaw dropped at the sight of John dipping Stacy gentley. Never once had john danced with her that way. Trish just turned away and continued to focus on Paul, Trish couldn't help but think this was going to be a long night.

Randy laid underneath the weights and lifted with all of his might. Randy had felt really bad about not being able to be at the Mardi Gras Ball with Stacy but if he wanted to be able to make a life for them when they get married then they were both going to have to get used to the fact that he would be breaking a lot of plans in the future. Randy was startled by a hand that was placed on his shoulder and he looked up and smiled widely.
"It really is nice being able to see a familiar face around here." Randy said greeting the women befor ehim.
"Yeah well it's really nice to know that we'll be working to together, wouldn't you say?" The women said with a seductive smirk.
"Look Torrie I respect the fact that your trying to make it this business but if you and I are going to be working together then we have to keep it strickly platonic ok." Randy said trying to make their relationship clear.
"Of course, but if you ever feel lonely then don't hesitate to call me over, I'll be sure to make you feel better." Torrie replied with a devilish smile.
"Thanks? Even though I won't be needing any consoling." Randy replied trying to get her to go away.
"Whatever you say." Torrie got up and walked away and made sure he had a nice view of her butt as she walked away.
Randy was a guy so it was really hard for him to look away, but that problem was quickly solved when the force of a clipboard met with his face.
"What the hell!" Randy screamed as he fell to the floor.
"Get a good look Chico?" The person asked with sarcasim.
"It's not what it looks like Oprah!" Randy retorted with the same sarcasim.
"Listen Orton! Stacy is my friend and if I ever see you in that position with Torrie "The Homewrecker" Wilson again then I will not hesitate to tell her!" The person yelled in his face.
"Stephanie we were just talking! Well yeah ok it was more of her hitting on me but I made it clear that I wasn't interested." Randy explained
"Ok we have to have a talk. When you get called up to the WWE there is going to be a lot of traveling, that means a lot of time away from Stacy." Stephanie started to say.
"And?" Randy asked not sure where she was going with this.
"What I'm saying is that being on the road all the time is going to get lonely 'Really' lonely and you will be spending a 'Lot' of time away from Stacy." Stephanie said hoping that he would catch on.
"Yeah, I already know all this, so what's your point?" Randy asked still not getting what she was saying.
"Randy, your going to be tempted to do things that you would never do, so suggest that if you don't want to hurt Stacy then maybe this isn't for you." Stephanie said with frustration.
"What are you tal- Oh..." Randy said finally understanding what Stephanie was saying.
"Now you get it!" Stephanie said letting a sigh of relief out.
"Stephanie I wanna marry Stacy, I have the ring and everything, I would never hurt her." Randy explained
"Randy how well do you know yourself?" Stephanie asked
"Why?" Randy asked with confusion.
"Just think about that question for a while ok." Stephanie suggested.
She got up and walked away leaving Randy to think long and hard about which direction he wanted to go in.

Lita and Chris sat outside on the balcony of the old mansion where the ball was held. The looked out into the ocean view that was in front of them and sat quitely thinking of all the things that were happening in their lives. Lita cleared her throat and looked over at Chris.
"So are you having a good time?" Lita asked breaking Chris out of his trance.
"Yeah, ya know as good as it gets I guess." Chris answered
Chris was feeling really confused right now because he and Stephanie were in the middle of a divorce and no one knew about it. He was also feeling confused because he had been spending an awful lot of time with Lita and he was begining to develop feelings for her and he wasn't sure if those feeling were true or if he was just on the rebound from Stephanie.
Lita looked back over to the ocean and thought about her "friendship" with Dave. Lita knew she was madly in love with him but she also knew that he wasn't so sure about his feelings and it killed her that she was in love with someone who wasn't "sure". All she knew that for the past few weeks she had been spending all her time with Chris instead of her newly found friend Batista. It's not like she didn't enjoy spending her time with him becacuse she did, but it just felt wrong in a way.
"So have talked to Dave lately?" Chris asked as his eyes were still glued to the sight in front of him.
Lita figited at his question and answered quickly.
"Nope, have you talked Steph?" Lita asked as she saw Chris also figit at her question.
"Nope." Chris answered as he threw a rock down below him.
"What happend with you two anyway?" Lita asked trying to make conversation.
Chris and Stephanie both kept quiet about why they split. I mean what were they going to say "Oh ya know how it is we got married to young and were getting a divorce!" that just wasn't the way they wanted it to come out.
"Mutual differences." Chris answered simply.
"Well, sounds like one hell of a difference." Lita joked which put a smile on his face. "I'm sorry." Lita said in a sympathetic tone.
"Don't be, it just wasn't meant to be, and who am I to tell fate differntly." Chris replied sadly.
Lita looked over at Chris and saw all his pain. All she could do was wish all the pain away.
"I can't remember the last time that I've just sat down and put all my feelings aside and focus on what was happening in front of me." Lita said as she looked up at the sky and smiled at all the stars in the sky.
Chris always loved to hear Lita talk, it was just something about her words that made him feel happy that their was someone else in this world that felt as deeply as he did.
"I thought that if I didn't talk about her or think of her that all my pain would get bored and go away, but it didn't." Chris said sadly. "But I finally know what I have to do, I have to let her go." Chris said with pain and heartache filling his voice.
Lita looked at Chris with tears in her eyes. This was the first time he had actually said what he was feeling and she could tell it wasn't easy for him. Chris put his head down and began to feel tears fall down his face. Lita walked over to him was on her knees in front of him. She picked up his face so that it met with hers. They looked into eachothers eyes and they slowly moved in closer to eachother until their lips met with the others.Chris gentley kissed Lita until she pulled away. They continued to stare at eachother and Lita smiled a sincere smile.
"We can let go together." Lita pressed her forehead against his and kissed his lips once more.
Chris looked down at Lita and smiled, she really was a good a friend.
From behind the door stood Stephanie watching on as tears streamed down her face. She wore a black dress and because she had a mask on no one knew it was her, so arrived and left unnoticed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
John and Stacy sat at a table and watch all the couples on the dance floor dance and smile. John looked over at Stacy who had the biggest smile, he smiled to himself knowing he was still the only one who could make her smile that way.
"Are you thirsty?" John asked the beauty.
"Yes." Stacy smiled
"I'll be right back." John got up and walked over to the punch bowl.
Trish saw John alone and thought of it as a perfect opportunity to talk to him.
"Hi" Trish greeted nervously.
"Hey, you look beautiful Trish." John complemented the ravishing blonde.
"Thank you, you look very handsome." Trish replied
"Really? I was really trying to avoid that word tonight." John joked
Trish giggled lightly and looked over at Stacy and waved.
"I think that it was really nice of you to be here for Stacy." Trish mentioned as she acknowlegded the smile on her face.
"Yeah well she's my best friend, there's nothing I wouldn't do for her." John replied as he turned to look at her also.
Trish's smile faded and she suddenly felt that letting John go was the biggest mistake of her life. Instead of feeling happy that Stacy wasn't miserable she felt that it would be nice to see her evening crash and burn. She turned around and looked over at Paul who had Candice Michelle pressed up against the wall whispering something into her ear. Trish quickly turned away and looked at John who still had his eyes glued on Stacy.
"So I'll see you later Trish, have a nice time." John smiled as he walked back over to Stacy handing her a drink.
Trish watched them and felt bitterness take over her soul. Why was she feeling this way? She shouldn't be feeling all this resentment, this wasn't even he fault it was Torrie's fault, it was Paul's fault, it was John's fault and it was Stacy's fault.
