A few days before Shelby was to leave for CT, Shane got a phone call from Chris asking him to be at the "meeting". He knew these two were beating around the bush with each other, and wanted to push them in the right direction. Shane agreed, even after Chris told him to not let Shelby know he was coming.

As Shelby walked into the studio, reception automatically pointed her in the right direction to where things were going to take place. After being told to go change, she handed her music to Chris with a smirk on her face.

"You owe me for this Irvine! Big time!"

"Oh I know dear. I do appreciate your willingness to play along though."

Shelby entered, with her hair down, so from afar, you couldn't really tell who she was. They had told her to dance to a variety of music so they could get a feel as to what would work best. She received her cue as she heard the opening notes to the special mix of music she and Jim Johnston had worked on via phone and computer since the idea came into formation two weeks prior. She didn't know that Shane had slipped in the door and hid. He had just wanted to check out and see how she was handling things. He scanned the room looking for her, but unsuccessfully. He wondered where she was, but didn't have to wait too long. He happened to glance up at the stage area, where everyone was seated, and saw a flash of hair spin around he would recognize anywhere. Shelby was up there dancing. He hadn't seen her dance since she and Stephanie were in college and Stephanie dragged him to one of Shelby's recitals. Shane snuck up behind Chris and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Might I ask what she is doing up there dancing?"

"Well, I kind of nominated her for it when we met back in NY. I am trying to enjoy the show before she hangs me by my balls for having her do this."

"That she may very well do Irvine. You better pray that they don't choose to use her in this or the RAW roster may be minus one wrestler come Monday, because you will be in a hospital room."

"Just sit back and enjoy the show McMahon, and wipe the drool off your chin."

"That obvious huh?"

"Oh yea. When you going to do something about it?"

"When she gives me the time of day."

"Hello? Earth to Shane. You mean to tell me you haven't noticed? "

"Noticed what?"

"You two obviously like each other. Why do you think she didn't want you here?"

"Because she thought she could handle things on her own?"

"Ass clown, she didn't want you here because she didn't want to take the risk of embarrassing herself in front of you. Your opinion matters to her whether you know it or not. When she talks about you, her face lights up like the sky on a fourth of July celebration."

"Chris, I have already screwed things up with her so much, I don't know if I want to take a chance on ruining the friendship we are repairing."

"Shane, I wouldn't have even mentioned it unless I thought it was worth a shot, but it will be up to you to make the first move, cause you know as well as I do, she will never say a word."

With that, the two men sat in silence as Shelby finished her performance. Once she was done, she began to look for Chris to ask him was it worth putting her through hell for this. She found Chris, but she also found someone else with him. Her eyes flickered for a second because she thought that she was seeing things. Sure enough there was Shane McMahon. Yes he was her boss, but that wasn't the problem. He was the man she had carried feelings for since forever it seemed. The last time he had seen her dance, she had nearly decapitated Stephanie because of the embarrassment she felt. Now Irvine just might have to go through the same torture she did. Shelby hurried off the stage, which Chris and Shane both took for what it was, a bad sign.

"Let me handle this one Chris. I think you've done enough damage for today."

"Shane, tell her I am sorry if I hurt her."

"Let's just pray I can do some damage control."
