Dave and Nikki follow Paul and Ric into the arena, hand in hand. Dave glances at the woman next to him and smiles to himself.

"I'm so glad we decided not to move slow," Dave says, causing Nikki to look up.

"Me too," she agrees, standing up on tiptoes, kissing him softly.

They walk into the locker room and Dave drops his bag on the bench, sitting next to his bag, pulling Nikki to him. He kisses her softly and Paul clears his throat, causing the two to break the kiss.

"Can we keep out mind on tonight?" Paul asks, glaring at Nikki.

Dave nods and rolls his eyes when Paul turns around causing Nikki to giggle.

"I think I'm going to go see C," Nikki says, giving Dave a quick kiss.

She heads down the hall and knocks on Randy's door. Courtney answers it and gives Nikki a big hug.

"What's going on?" She asks, sitting down on the couch.

"I think I'm going to tell Dave tonight," Nikki admits, biting her lip, "he should know."

"I'll be here for you sweetie," Courtney comforts as Randy walks through the door, "he'll understand."

"Understand what?" Randy questions, sitting next to Courtney.

"Don't worry about it," Nikki says, the whispers to C, "please don't tell."

Nikki leaves quickly and Randy watches her leave, than turns to Courtney.

"What was that about?" He asks her.

"I shouldn't tell you, but…" C starts, "Nikki used to be a dancer."

"What's the big deal about that?"

"Think about it…. 'Dancer'."

"I still don't get it."

"Damn it Randy, she was a stripper!" Courtney yells.

"Oh, why didn't you just say so. Does Dave know?"

"No, but she's going to tell him tonight. So don't say a word!"

Evolution's locker room

Nikki walks in the door to find Dave, Ric, and Paul in a huddle. They all look up and Dave smiles at her.

"Hey babe," he says, walking over to her, grabbing her hand, "could you help me with something?"

Dave pulls her into the bathroom and locks the door then shoves her against it.

"Dave!" Nikki exclaims, but she's cut off by his lips on hers.

Her arms wrap around his neck and pull his body closer to hers. His hands drop down and slide up her soft thigh.

"Dave," Nikki gasps as he touches her, "Paul and Ric are out there."

"Where's you sense of adventure?" Dave jokes, rubbing her clit softly, "come on."

As Nikki moans, Dave's lips crush against hers.

"What the hell is taking them so long?" Paul demands, glancing at Ric who shrugs, "DAVE!"

"Just hold on a sec," Dave yells then sighs, "he always ruins it."

Nikki giggles and kisses him softly. Dave removes his hand from her skirt and rolls his eyes, grabbing his wrestling trunks from the floor. Nikki fixes herself as Dave changes, and together they exit the bathroom.

"Champ, I think you have to confront Bischoff with words, so he knows you mean business," Ric says as Paul nods in agreement.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Dave speaks up, causing Paul to glare at him.

"Why?" Paul demands, "and you better have a good explanation."

"Instead of arguing, it'd be better if you went out there and beat someone's ass and stand tall in the middle of that ring, showing why you should be champion," Dave explains.

"I like that idea," Paul smirks, pulling Dave into a huddle.

Nikki sighs and shakes her head before walking out of the room. As she turns the corner, she runs right into Randy.

"Oh hey Randy," Nikki says, smiling, "what's going on?"

Randy doesn't say anything as he grabs her by the arm and pulls her into an empty locker room.

"It's ok Nik, I still care about you," Randy says, giving her a hug.

"Randy, what are you talking about?" Nikki questions, placing her hands on her hips.

"I know that you were a stripper," Randy states as Nikki's eyes go wide, "Its ok, I like strippers."

"Randy!" Nikki gasps, "where did you hear that?"

"Uh, well….." Randy stammers.

"C told you didn't she?" Nikki says, shaking her head, "please Randy, don't say a word to anyone. I need to tell Dave myself, he doesn't need to hear it from someone else."

"When you going to tell him?"

"Tonight. Listen, I better get back. Dave's match is soon."

Randy gives her a hug and Nikki leaves and heads back to the locker room. When she walks in, Dave's sitting on the bench, alone, stretching.

"Hey babe," Dave says with a smile.

"Hey, I need to talk to you," Nikki replies, sitting down next to him, "Dave, I…"

But Nikki's cut off by Paul and Ric who enter the room.

"We are going to show Bischoff who should be champ," Paul smirks, high-fiving Dave.

"You bet," Dave smiles, turning to Nikki, "what were you going to say?"

"Oh, um…" Nikki looks up and Paul has an amused look on his face, "good luck on your match."

Dave wraps his arm around her waist and pulls her into his body, giving her a kiss.

"Thanks hon. Ready Paul?"

Paul nods and the two leave with Ric trailing behind. Nikki sinks down into the couch and lets out a sigh. She sits there a few minutes, her head in her hands. She finally turns on the monitor, finding the match has already started. Dave is choking Chris with the tag rope and Paul gives him a huge vertical suplex and a knee to the face, but Benoit breaks the 2 count. Chris then gets some momentum and knocks Dave off the apron and gets in a few chops to Paul before running off the ropes, kicking Paul square in the chest, tagging in Benoit. Jericho knocks down both Dave and Ric from the apron, and Ric gets upset, trying to get in the ring, but Paul holds him back. Benoit gets Paul into the corner, but Paul knees him in the gut. He goes for a blow but Benoit ducks and gives him 3 German suplex's. He goes for the headbutt, but Ric and Dave distract him, allowing Paul to move before he's hit. Paul tags in Dave. Dave gives Benoit a power slam for a two count. Dave tags Paul back in and he whips him into the turnbuckle. Paul covers him, but Benoit some how kicks out. Paul gets him into the abdominal stretch. Dave grabs Paul's hands to give him extra pressure. Paul breaks the hold and Benoit gets in a few chops, tossing Paul into the corner. Benoit runs right into a boot and Paul goes up top, but comes down onto Benoit's feet. Both struggle for tags, and they get them. Jericho knocks Paul off the apron and goes for Dave, knocking him down, trying to get him into the Walls of Jericho. Dave kicks his way out, but Jericho gives him a lionsault before tagging in Benoit. Benoit delivers the flying headbutt and gets Dave into the sharpshooter. Dave looks like he's about to tap, but Paul runs for Benoit, but gets put into the Crossface instead. Dave picks up Benoit and gives him a huge spinebuster, covering him for the win.

Dave, Ric, and Paul enter the room and Paul looks pissed. Dave smiles at Nikki and sits next to her, pulling her into him.

"Ew! Gross! You're all sweaty," Nikki giggles, pushing at Dave.

"So, I'll be sweaty later too," Dave replies, wiggling his eyebrows.

"You perv!" Nikki says, shaking her head, "that all you think about?"

"Pretty much, yeah. Did ya see the match?"

"Great job. That why Paul's pissed?" Nikki asks, glancing at Paul who's talking to Ric.

Dave shrugs and turns to watch Mick Foley out in the ring. After the Tyson, Christian, Maven and Eugene, Regal, and Benjamin match, Bischoff heads to the ring, ready to make an announcement regarding the championship. He calls out all three men, and Dave and Ric follow Paul out to the ring.

"I told you to come alone," Eric states, pointing at Evolution.

"We're all one. When Evolution wins, I win. We have more wins than those to combined, so the decision should be easy," Paul replies, glaring at the other two men.

"Your first option is Benoit's, which is to have a rematch tonight, but that won't happen. Edge's idea is just to give it to him, and that won't happen. So there's only one option left. On January 9th, at New Years Revolution, we will have a match that will prove without a shadow of a doubt who will be the world heavyweight champion, in something I like to call…the ELIMINATION CHAMBER!" Eric announces as all three men go pale.

"It will be Benoit, Edge, HHH, Chris Jericho, Evolution's own Batista, and last but not least, Randy Orton!" Eric smiles and leaves the ring as Paul goes after Benoit.

Evolution stomps on Benoit until Jericho comes out. Paul is walking backwards up the ramp, but Randy attacks him from behind, throwing him into the steps. Randy goes for the RKO on Paul, but Dave goes for another blow to him, and Randy gives Dave the RKO instead. The show fades to black and Nikki sighs.

"Great, another great mood for Paul," she murmurs to herself.

After a little bit, she can hear the men coming down the hall. Paul walks in first, grabbing his bag, pulling on some track pants, and storming out of the room with Ric following.

"I'll just be a sec, babe," Dave says, grabbing his bag and heading into the bathroom.

Dave emerges, his hair wet from his shower. They head back to the hotel, and right when Dave opens the door to their room, his cell rings.

"Yeah?"

"Hey, meet me in the bar," Randy says, "guys night out."

"Alright, see you," Dave hangs up and turns to Nikki, "Randy wants to meet for drinks, that ok?"

"Have fun," Nikki says, giving him a kiss.

Dave sets his bag down and heads to the bar. He sees Randy at a table and sits down next to him.

"I'll have a beer," Dave says to the waitress.

"Sorry about the RKO," Randy states, smiling, "hurt?"

"Nah, I'm fine," Dave replies, as the waitress returns with his beer.

"So, how'd ya take it?"

"Take what?" Dave asks, taking a sip of his drink.

"Nikki being a stripper," Randy answers, causing Dave to choke on his beer.

"What!" Dave exclaims, standing up, "she's a what!"

"Oh shit, she didn't tell you, did she?"

Dave storms off as Randy tries to get him to come back. He slams open the door causing Nikki to jump from her spot on the bed.

"Why didn't you tell me!" Dave demands, stalking over to her, and grabbing her by the arm.

"Dave, what are you…" but Nikki's cut off.

"That you were a stripper!" He exclaims, his tone softening, "why?"

"I needed the money, I had to," Nikki explains sadly.

"God, if Paul finds out, or even if the other guys find out…."

"You're worried about what others will think!" Nikki yells, shaking her head, "I guess you don't wanna be seen with a low life slut, huh?"

Nikki, it's not that. I'm just not ready for this. I can't take this."

Nikki has tears streaming down her face as she grabs her bag. She slowly walks to the door, turning to him.

"Fine."

Nikki slams the door and Dave sinks to the bed, his head in his hands.

"I just lost the one thing I care about."

There ya go! Ch 7! Poor Dave…poor Nikki. Please review and tell me what ya think. Thanks!
