Dave entered the crowded club and weaved his way to the bar. He noticed a bunch of superstars in the corner and made his way over to them after getting his drink.

"I heard that Raw is getting the Animal back." Jeff said in way of greeting.

"That's what they are telling me." Dave answered with a half smile. "I guess they liked my feud with Triple H." Pretty soon, Dave was involved in a lively discussion with the Hardy brothers.

Dave, who was facing the bar, was the first person to spot Kadence as she made her way towards the bar. He nudged Jeff and Matt, pointing her out. The three guys decided to invite her to join them so Matt and Jeff went to convince her.

"Kadence, darling, it's great to see someone with your beauty in a place like this." Matt drawled as they approached the lovely diva.

"Hey Matt, Jeff. What are you guys doing here?" Kadence picked up her drink from the bar, turning towards the brothers.

"Actually a bunch of us are here hanging out." Jeff motioned to the corner were the rest of the wrestlers were at. "You should come join us.

"I don't know." Kadence hesitated. She wasn't sure she wanted to deal with anyone from work right then. Before she could make up her mind, she noticed Dillon walk into the club. "Actually I see someone that I know but thanks for the offer." She said with relief before making her way to her brother's side.

"Ha! You struck out!" Matt laughed at his brother as they watched her walk away.

"I didn't see you helping out any." Jeff retorted. "Can you tell who the guy that she's with is?"

"His name is Dillon Blankenbiller." Dave replied coming up behind the brothers. "I guess he's some big shot."

"You haven't heard of the Blankenbiller's?" Jeff asked astonished. "They own a bunch of hotel, restaurants, and nightclubs. The family made big news about six years ago when the family patriarch disowned the daughter. Nobody knows why she was disowned and she dropped out of the media's eye several years back."

"You're worse than a female when it comes to gossip." Matt said to his brother causing Jeff to reach out and shove Matt. As the three superstars made their way back to the table, Matt turned towards Dave. "I heard that you're getting a romantic storyline soon."

"Yeah, I guess." Dave shrugged his shoulders. "Somehow it's going to tie in with the Triple H feud. I guess that DX is getting a new member, who's female and my 'girl' is going to feud with the DX girl. Any news on who the new member of DX is going to be? Matt and Dave turned towards Jeff expectantly.

"What? Now you want the scoop from me?" Jeff asked incredulously. "But since you did ask, I heard that Mickie James might be teaming up with them soon. I think that they want to make DX heel again. I guess that makes sense if Triple H is going to be chasing the title. No news on who your lady is supposed to be though, Dave. Sorry."

"What are you doing here?" Kadence approached her brother.

"It seems like you are asking me that a lot lately." Dillon teased. "Sara and I got mom settled in for the night and Sara wanted to watch some chick flick on TV, so I decided to see what you were up to. I figured I had a better spend as much time with you as I can since I don't know when I will get a chance to see you again. I hope you don't mind that I called the driver of your car to see where you were."

"Of course I don't mind. Anything to be able to spend time with my bro. We don't have to stay here you know. We can go somewhere else if you want." Kadence offered.

"I noticed that a lot of your co-workers are here. We can stay if you want to.

"No, that's okay." Kadence started to say but was too late as her brother headed in that direction. She hurried to catch up with him and tried to talk him out of meeting her co-workers but there was no changing his mind.

"I knew you couldn't resist us." Jeff teased as Dillon and Kadence approached. "Jeff Hardy." He introduced himself to Dillon.

"Dillon Blankenbiller." Dillon responded, shaking his hand.

"This is my brother, Matt and Dave Batista." Jeff finished introducing everyone around them. Dillon shook hands with them and was immediately drawn into a conversation with Jeff and Matt. Kadence sat back and watched her brother with a smile.

Kadence quickly realized that Dillon was going to be involved in the conversation for a long time. She leaned over to him and whispered, "I'm going to hit the dance floor for awhile." Dillon glanced back at her, smiled, and waved her off. Kadence made her way to the dance floor just as the DJ started playing the new Christina Aguilera song. It wasn't long before she had the attention of everyone on the dance floor as she moved gracefully to the music. Before long Kadence had several guys vying for her attention. She became slightly overwhelmed when some of the guys started to get violent. Before she could do anything about it, Dave was by her side.

"Thanks for keeping my girl company, but I'm here now so you can leave." Dave gave the guys a smile before turning to Kadence. "Shall we dance my dear?" Kadence took the hand he offered and allowed him to lead her to the middle of the dance floor. Kadence soon realized that Batista could dance really well and allowed herself to enjoy the feeling of having a good dance partner again. They spent the remainder of the night on the dance floor.
