Author's Note: Obviously, I own Tate Rossi, and any other character you don't recognize.

January 22, 2012

Penny, Phil, Drew, Nikki, Brie, Heath, and Justin were all going out for dinner before the show. The elevator dinged, and the doors opened and they stepped out into the lobby. A man with a thick Italian accent and chin length brown hair, was standing at the front desk, a suitcase standing next to him. "Here are your keys Mr. Rossi," said the man working behind the desk.

"Thank you," the man said, and turned towards the elevators.

A high-pitched squeel escaped Penny when she seen his face. "Tate!" she shouted, and ran across the lobby to him. She threw her arms around his neck and he picked her up, hugging her tight. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I came to surprise you," he smiled.

"How did you know I was staying here?"

"I didn't. I was just going to show up at the arena tonight. I got front row tickets."

Penny grinned and quickly kissed him.

Phil cleared his throat, and Penny turned to him, "Oh, I almost forgot! This is my brother, Phil, and my friends, Drew, Nikki, Brie, Heath, and Justin. This is my boyfriend, Tate. We met in Verona."

Phil stepped forward and shook Tate's hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you," Tate said. "I heard a lot about you while Penny was in Italy."

Phil smiled, "I doubt I've heard as much about you." He shot a quick glare at his sister for not telling him. They had been so busy in the last couple of weeks that they'd barely talked about her European adventure.

"You should join us for dinner!" Penny said.

He smiled, "I would love to, just let me take my bags to my room.

3 Hours Later

Penny was getting ready for her handicap match when Natalya walked by. "Natty!" Penny called, lightly jogging to catch up with her.

"Yes?" she asked, turning around.

"I want to talk to you, about the match tonight."

"You mean about how Tamina and I are going to destroy you?"

Penny rolled her eyes. "Listen, I know you don't like me, and I don't like you, but I have a proposition for you. Help me win tonight, I'm not saying lay down or anything, just let me win, and after I win the title from Beth, I'll give you the first title shot."

"Really?" Natalya asked smirking. "You think I need you to get a shot?"

Penny shrugged, "Maybe not, but when was the last time you were even in the title picture?" Penny raised an eyebrow. "I don't mean when you were helping Beth destroy Kelly so she could get the title either." She paused again, "I could be wrong, but I think the last time you had the belt, Melina was still here."

Neither woman said something for a moment. "Think about it, you and I could rebuild what the bimbos like Kelly and Alicia have ruined. We could be the new Lita and Trish Stratus. We could dominate the Diva Division, make it worth watching again."

A small smile spread across Natalya's lips.

Penny grinned, "I'll see you in the ring." She walked away towards the gorilla position. Ready for the match that would start in just a few minutes.

The match started with Penny facing off against Tamina. Five minutes in, Beth had joined them at ringside. Penny rolled away right as Tamina attempted the Superfly Splash and got the upper hand. Penny dominated the next four minutes of the match, and Tamina finally got away to tag in Natalya, who jumped down off the apron. Tamina stood there in shock for a few seconds before yelling at Natalya to get in the match.

Penny took advantage of the distraction, and delivered a reverse bull-dog before pinning her for the victory. Natalya turned and walked back up the ramp without looking back. As Penny's arm was raised, Beth slid silently into the ring and hit Penny from behind with the Divas Championship.

Penny laid in the middle of the ring, a grimace on her face.

1 Hour 30 Minutes Later

Tate had his arm draped across Penny's shoulders as they walked across the parking lot to the rental car. Everyone was going out to celebrate Penny's victory. Next week, she'd have her shot at Beth's title.
