''DEAN AMBROSE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME STEPH?! WHAT THE HELL!" Natalie yells, not understanding why Stephanie would think she'd be willing to work with the man who broke her heart.
Stephanie, pausing to find a way to explain herself finally begins. "Nat okay I get you two aren't on the best terms at the moment, but creative has thought long and hard about this…and it really is what's best for business. We're going to have you turn on Seth and betray him like he betrayed The Shield, that's going to be his comeuppance."
"Yeah so I'm being used as a pawn in the men's storyline rather than helping advance the divas division. AND I'm being forced to work with Dean!"
"Listen Nat trust me this isn't going to be as bad as you think okay? Dean's already heard about it and he's excited and he knows this could be great for the BOTH of you." Stephanie retorts.
"Oh of course he's happy! He's not losing his title! Especially not to someone who doesn't deserve it! No, instead, he'll be working with the girl whose heart he broke and feuding for the WWE title, what does he have to be mad about?!' Natalie argues.
Stephanie, fed up, decides to lay down the law. "Okay Natalie that is ENOUGH! Now I understand your discomfort at this, and I'm sorry you are going to lose your title but the fact is THIS IS BEST FOR GODDAMN BUSINESS. You don't have a say, you WILL work with Dean and you WILL give 110% to this storyline because that is what I and the WWE Universe expects. Now stop pouting, accept the reality of the situation and go back to your hotel and rest for your flight tomorrow. This isn't going to change. The next few weeks will be slowly setting up your eventual turn, so I suggest you and Dean get reacquainted in order to ensure you guys will be believable on screen."
Natalie, shocked at Stephanie's stern words, gathers her things and walks past her without another word and heads back to the hotel.
At the Hotel
Natalie walks into her hotel room which she's been sharing with Colby who she finds laying down in his single bed watching Back to the Future for what she thinks is the 400th time, slamming the door shut and catching his attention.
'Whoa! Hey there what's wrong with you?' The champion asks, confused at the beauty's anger.
'Oh I take it you haven't heard the FANTASTIC news?' Natalie asks sarcastically, throwing her bag to the ground and sitting on her bed.
Confused, Colby asks, "News?"
"Yeah…we're not going to be a team for much longer…"
"What? Who the hell told you that?"
"Stephanie McMahon herself. BUT that's not all!'
"…WELL? Spit it out?"
"I'll be turning on you and siding with Ambrose…" Natalie explains, exasperated, and lies back on her bed.
Colby, realizing what the issue is, sits in silence. "…. Shit…"
"Yup, it's bullshit…I'm going to lose my title to fricking Kelly Kelly and work with Jon…like fuck." Natalie says, sitting up.
"I'm sorry Nat…I get it…but maybe this isn't going to be as bad as you think and HEY, no matter what you're always going to be MY Divas Champion…" Colby says, sitting down next to her and pulling Nat into a hug which she sinks into, his lips placing a soft kiss on her forehead to calm her down."
"Thanks Colby…I just…I thought if I didn't have a storyline with him it'd all be okay…but nope. No such luck."
Colby, running his hand up and down her back to soothe her responds, "Yeah I get it…but something tells me this will all work out in the end…"
