"John."
"Courtney."
Maria looked at the two. She knew what happened between them on Unforgiven. The flight attendant came around to make sure everyone was in their seats.
"Sir will you please get to your seat?"
John looked at Courtney once more before he gave Maria a kiss. Courtney couldn't help but be jealous. He had hurt her that night at Unforgiven. He had obviously moved on. John went to his seat and Maria sat in hers.
"Haven't seen you in a while Maria. Heard what happened last night. That must have sucked."
"Of course it did. But what sucks more is that I have to go back to RAW and that Smackdown is done for good."
Courtney knew that Maria was mad. But she wasn't giving up that easily.
"So how's your relationship with John?"
"Better then yours ever was."
Maria knew that was mean. But she wasn't in the mood to be nice. Last night had been hell. It was what hell was. Courtney knew she didn't want to talk anymore, so she shut up and read her magazine. In it she saw and article about John and his movie coming up, The Marine. He talked about the WWE, his life and Maria. She slammed the magazine down, making Maria jump from her seat.
"Sorry. I'm just a little mad."
Maria scowled at her. Why didn't John attempt to have her switch seats? The plane was up on the air. No use now to try.
"Courtney, are you on this plane alone?"
"No. Randy is on here also. In fact, he's sitting next to my…..I mean your man."
Maria peered over the next few rows to see that Courtney was right. John was sitting next to Randy. They were talking in very low voices. She wished she knew what they were talking about. If they were getting along, why couldn't her and Courtney do the same?
"Courtney I want to propose a truce between you and me. I know we don't have great history, but if John and Randy can get along, why cant we?"
Courtney thought about this. Damn right they didn't have great history. Hence what happened last time they were in an airport together. But looking into Maria's eyes, she could tell she was serious.
"OK then, truce."
They shook hands, making the truce official.
"I feel like we should sign something saying we're friends now."
Maria laughed. It had been a long time since laughed. It almost made her cry. For the rest of the flight Courtney and Maria talked about life, the WWE, John, Randy and girl stuff. They were to into conversation to notice that once the plane hit the ground flight attendants ran to the front of the plane. When Maria and Courtney looked up, John and Randy started a fist fight. They both got up and tried to pull their men off each other, but they were too strong. Finally, with a little help from the flight attendants, they got the men off each other. John tried to get out of the grasp of the flight attendants, but there was too many of them. Maria went to the front of John and held him back. Courtney did the same to Randy. Both men were escorted off the plane with a security guard on either side of them. Maria and Courtney followed.
"Well that didn't last long."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
John and Randy were on opposite sides of the gate telling the security guards their story. Once the guards left, Maria and Courtney ran to their men to hold them back again. Courtney was putting all the strength she had to hold Randy back.
"Come on Randy lets go."
"Not till I get my hands on that son of a bitch!"
"Save it for the ring! Let's go!"
Randy gave in and walked away.
"Yeah that's right walk away! You always do!"
"John stop it! You're acting like a child!"
John stopped trying to get around Maria. She was right, but he didn't want to admit it. They walked the separate way to get to their luggage then Randy and Courtney did.
"What the hell was that all about?"
"I don't wanna talk about it."
"Well I do so tell me. Either you do or I'll call Courtney and ask her for details."
"Why would you do that?"
"We're friends now. Don't you know?"
"No, I was too busy kicking Randy's ass."
Maria laughed. John got a confused look on his face.
"What?"
"I'm sorry babe but you were far from kicking his ass."
John laughed and playfully punched Maria in the arm. He lifted her up over his shoulder and carried her through the airport. Maria laughed and begged him to let her down. When they got tot the carousel he set her down. Luckily Randy and Courtney had already been there. John and Maria were the last people to get their luggage. They headed to their rented car. Maria got into the drivers seat.
"Hey I wanted to drive!"
"Do you know the way to my parent's house?"
"No."
"Then get in."
John got in and they headed to Maria's parents house. How would Maria's parents feel about him?

Dave and Adam arrived at WWE Headquarters. They stepped into the office to see a receptionist at the desk.
"Can I help you?"
"Yes and in more ways then one."
Adam slapped Dave on the arm. The receptionist smiled at Dave's remark.
"We need to see Vince."
"But later then sooner."
Adam rolled his eyes. The receptionist giggled. Dave was definitely flirting with the receptionist.
"My name is Kelly, and Vince is in a conference, so you'll have to wait a while. I'm sure that's not a problem?"
"Not at all Kelly."
Adam groaned. He went to go sit down while Dave stood up at the desk flirting with Kelly. He heard Kelly laugh numerous times. After what seemed like 20 minutes and one million of Dave's cheap lines, Vince came out of his office.
"Dave and Adam. What can I help you with?"
"Vince can we talk to you in private?"
"Sure Adam."
Adam grabbed Dave's arm and dragged him from the desk. Kelly waved goodbye to Dave and he waved back.
"Dude I got her number."
"Yeah yeah yeah that's great. Let's focus here ok?"
Vince was seated at a big table with Dave and Adam on either side of him.
"What brings you here?"
"We have a proposition for you Mr.McManhon."
Adam and Dave told Vince their idea for a storyline once the Smackdown stars were on RAW.
"Gentlemen, I love your storyline. I will suggest it to the board immediately. Now if you excuse me, Stephanie wants me to help with the baby."
Adam and Dave walked out of Vince's office.
"Dude we totally got him!"
"Yeah and I totally got Kelly."
Once Dave got to the lobby, he asked Kelly out to lunch.
"Yeah I'll take my break now. Lisa watch the desk for me?"
Kelly took Dave's arm and they walked out. Dave winked at Adam who was left in the lobby by himself. He got a call on his phone from Randy.
"What's up Randy?"
"Adam I fuckin hate John!"
Adam held the phone from his ear. Randy was screaming loud in the phone. He heard Courtney take the phone from Randy.
"Sorry Adam. What's he's trying to say is whatever you and Dave are doing, he wants to be part of it."
Adam smiled. One down, one more to go.
