'Already Gone'

"So you're just not gonna tell me who this guy is that you slept with?" Barbie said, as she and Mickie walked towards the hotel elevator.

"Nope." Mickie replied snootily. "And if you keep pestering me, I'm even less likely to tell you."

"Come on! You're killing me!" Barbie pressed the elevator button, and the two stepped inside.

"You think I care?" Mickie finally snapped. The joke was over. "Stop trying to interfere in my personal life! God, you're so annoying sometimes."

"I'm annoying?" Barbie exclaimed. "I'm annoying?!"

"Yeah, you are." Mickie huffed.

"At least I'm not sleeping with my best friend's boyfriend!" Barbie yelled.

At that very moment, the lift doors opened, and Ted and Cody stepped inside.

- - -

"What's up, guys?" Cody asked, however neither girl replied.

"Wow, awkward." Ted commented blankly.

"What's going on?" Cody continued.

Neither girl spoke for a while, until eventually, the silence was broken.

"She knows." Mickie said quietly, arms folded against her chest.

"Knows what?" Cody laughed innocently.

"Don't play dumb, Cody. She knows."

- - -

"So tell me all about it." Barbie said, leaning back against the wall. "Tell me all about it."

"It just... happened." Cody shrugged, his eyes firmly fixed on his shoes.

"How many times?"

"B, that doesn't matter..." Mickie interjected.

"How many times." Barbie's voice was calm.

"6." Mickie blurted out, seemingly accidentally.

"I'm sorry, am I missing something?" Ted laughed, looking at the three grim faces in front of him.

"Mickie and Cody have been sleeping together since they arrived in London." Barbie admitted.

"And you knew?" Ted raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Mickie asked. "If I'd have known..."

"...You'd have stopped?" Barbie laughed.

"Wow, you guys are idiots." Ted muttered, looking pityingly at Mickie and Cody.

"You have no right to criticise me, Ted DiBiase." The petite diva squared up to Ted. "Not with all that's been going on between the two of you."

"What are you talking about?" It was Barbie's turn to act innocent now, however her hands were gripping the elevator rail.

"Ha! You think I don't know about you hiding in the bathroom? Walls aren't exactly thin, B." Mickie scoffed.

"You knew?" Barbie winced.

"What do you know?" Cody cornered Mickie.

"Little Miss Perfect over here isn't such an Angel either."

"As much as I love being here, feeling like I'm on an episode of Jerry Springer." Ted began. "Has anyone else noticed we've been stuck in this elevator for the last five minutes and haven't moved anywhere?"

- - -

Turns out the power went down in the storms, and the elevators had stopped working.

After the power was restored, Ted called the hotel on his cell phone and found out they were doing all they could and the doors would soon be open.

"I can't believe you've been sleeping with Ted." Cody breathed.

The four of them were each sat in a corner of the elevator, staring straight into the centre.

"How long's it been going on for?" Cody continued.

"Since the same night as you and Mickie slept together." Barbie replied.

"When did things get so messed up?" Mickie sighed, standing up. "We're stuck in an elevator, talking about our messed up love lives and..."

"And...?"

"And it sucks." Mickie sat back down again.

"Oh, it sucks?" Ted said sarcastically. "Because I was really enjoying this!"

"Shut up, DiBiase." Mickie muttered.

"So what're we meant to do for the next... half an hour?" Ted looked at his watch.

"I want to know what's going on with us." Barbie turned to Cody.

"I think it's safe to say that any kind of a relationship between us is now over." Cody replied, bluntly.

"I don't exactly blame you." Barbie muttered, stopped fiddling with the sleeve of her jacket and looked at Cody, and then Mickie. "But what about you two?"

"What about us?" Mickie laughed.

"You guys. What's going on with you?" Barbie said. "I mean, is it just sex? Or is there something else there?"

"I don't know." She replied.

"This is too weird." Ted stood up, and began thumping his fist against the door. "Someone let me out of this hell hole!"

"Oh, because you guys have a totally functioning relationship!" Mickie said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Barbie spat.

"So what's going on in the weird, messed up world of Ted and Barbie? Are you guys together now? I don't know if you remember Ted, but you have a girlfriend."

"Yeah, Rachel. She's still in here." Ted tapped at his heart, mockingly.

"Is that some kind of joke?"

"This whole thing is a joke." Ted muttered.

"So what is going on between you two?" Mickie turned to Barbie.

"I don't think that's any of your business!"

"I'm gonna ask you something, B, and I want you to answer me honestly. Let's put this stupid fight aside, and just answer me this. Do you love him?"

Both Ted and Cody turned around, and looked intently at the blonde.

"Which one?" Barbie attempted to lighten up the atmosphere.

"Ted." Mickie didn't see the funny side. "Do you love him?"

Before Barbie could answer, the elevator doors opened, and the room was filled with light.
