New Years Revolution

The divas were in the limo on their way to the Pepsi Arena in Albany, NY. Ashley was bouncing in the car pointing out little cafes and shops. She was excited that she was close to home for once. She looked over at Torrie who was talking to Candace. Torrie lifted up her hand to show Candace her nails. Ashley saw that Torrie didn't have her ring on. She tilted her head, thinking of the excuse for her not to have her. She asked without thinking.

"Where's your ring Tor?"

All the divas looked at Torrie's hand to find that the ring was, indeed, not on her hand. Trish grabbed Torrie's hand, as if the ring were microscopic.

"She's right! Where is it Tor? You had it on this morning!"

Torrie could feel her face burning red. She almost told Ashley how she was going to be screwed over and that John would have the worst night of his life. But she shut her mouth. She needed an excuse. She had it this morning…walked to the lobby…

"Ummm….the ring got to tight on my finger. It's in my bag so when I get to Boston I can get it re-fit."

"So that's why you kept bending your finger this morning!"

Torrie looked over to see who said that. It was Mickie James, the new bubbly brunette. But the thing is, Torrie never bent her finger this morning. Maybe to fix her bra strap, but that was about it. Mickie winked at Torrie, then turned to Victoria to ask her about her knee brace. Torrie looked at Trish, who looked at Torrie funny.

"Is everything OK between you and John?"

"Of course. Couldn't be better."

The divas arrived at the Pepsi arena. As they stepped off each one was handed the script for the night. Torrie tore open the script and searched it. She looked at the elimation match between John and 5 other stars. All of a sudden Torrie lifted her head to the scream of joy coming from Ashley.

"Oh my god I can't believe it! I'm going to…"

She was just about to say "Women's champion", but stopped herself. No one knew about it besides her and the McMahons.

"…win the Bra and Panties match!"

"It's not the big of a deal you know."

"Because you've won lots of them Vick, but me? I've barely competed!"

Ashley sighed and walked away. She looked at Trish who had a satisfying smile on her face. She would win, once again. But Ashley was ready to wipe that smile off her face. She walked over to Trish and looked over her shoulder.

"So you win again do you?"

"Yeah. I guess Vince loves me that damn much."

"If you mean he love's you by screwing you over then OK."

Ashley walked away, leaving Trish confused. A smile went across her face. She looked over to the parking lot to see the guy's car roll up. She ran over to greet Randy. She stood back and greeted everyone that came out. Randy was last and on his phone.

"I'm sorry it broke ma...there's a 30 day warranty on it so you can exchange it…I'm not gonna fix it for you…Have dad, that's his area…hey I got to go we're here…yea you can call me if you fix it…love you to."

Randy closed his phone and kissed Ashley on the cheek. He looked for Torrie, but didn't find her. Ashley directed Randy's face in front of hers.

"What broke of your mom's that she wanted you to fix?"

"Oh the chocolate fountain we gave them for christmas. My dad thought it would be funny to put a big chunk of solid chocolate in there to see if it would melt by the hot plate…never did."

"Wow your dad is definitely a risk taker."

"Always has, always will be."

Randy felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw John standing there.

"What's up John?"

"Have you seen Torrie? I found her ring on the lobby floor."

John held the ring up. Then it hit Ashley. Torrie didn't put it in her bag! She dropped it on purpose! But why? She looked at Randy who let out a loud laugh.

"What was that for?"

"Sorry but I saw that on the floor but thought it was someone else's. I can take it and give it to Torrie."

"When will you see her?"

"You never know. Or you can give it to Ashley to give to her."

"Nah, I'll just find her. Later."

John walked away and caught up with Adam and Amy. Ashley started to think. Why would Torrie drop her ring in the hotel lobby? She had little time to think. Randy's voice snapped her out of a trance.

"I said, I'm gonna go get changed."

"Oh ok. Bye babe."

Ashley tried to kiss him, but Randy turned too quickly. Ashley wondered if there was something Randy was planning. Ashley walked away to the entrance. She had some investigating to do. But she would do it later. She had to get ready for her match. And she had to get ready to ruin Trish's life.

Torrie pulled Mickie to a corner by the garbage cans. It stunk but it was only way to get Mickie alone.

"Geeze Torrie you scared me! What's up?"

"Why did you cover for me?"

"What do you mean?"

"In the car. When I didn't have my ring. Why did you cover for me?"

Mickie sighed. She looked at the blonde diva. She barely knew her, but she felt so close.

"Because I know what's going on."

"Huh?"

"I know that your only engaged to John just so he could be happy. I know that you don't want to be with him anymore. So you dropped the ring on the floor of the lobby and walked away."

"How do you know this?"

"Because I did the same thing a long time ago. Now we better hurry up. John found your ring and might need an explanation."

Mickie heard Trish call for her. Mickie hugged Torrie and whispered into her ear.

"What ever you do, don't hurt John to bad. He love's you to much he's oblivious to everything around him."

Mickie ran to Trish and walked with her. Torrie couldn't believe Mickie knew. She felt sort of relieved that she had someone to talk to about all of this. She decided she would have to give the new diva her number. She came out of the shadows to see John running to her.

"Hey! You dropped this."

John held out the ring. Torrie could barely look at it because it hurt to look at it. But Torrie just smiled and put it back on.

"Thank you babe. I thought I put it in my bag. But I guess it just missed!"

"Why would you put it in your bag?"

"It's getting a little to tight on me. You think we could re-fit it one of these days?"

"Of course. What ever you want, you get."

John kissed Torrie and grabbed her hand. What ever she wanted, she would get. She took those words into consideration. She wanted Randy. So did that mean she would get him? Obviously yes since John would let her have what ever she wanted. She smiled and moved closer to John. She loved John, but for a different reason. He had given her "permission" to leave him. And by tonight, she would do just that.
