'What the hell were you thinking?' Jeff said quietly, I could hear the sternness in his voice. 'You were completely out of control.' His calmness worried me; I could tell he was mad. I turned to my friend who was laughing at the whole situation, although I still felt bad.

'It's totally fine, Jeff. If I can't handle a bit of blood than I shouldn't be in this business.' Amy said as Jeff shrugged in agreement. She turned back to the camera man, who was filming her interview as a woman cleaned the blood off of her face. 'Well, it obviously didn't go quite as planned, um, things happen. That was quite scary - the first thing like that to really ever happened to me… um… but its ok, I'm fine. I actually feel like I've gotten knocked around more with less to show for it. Though it was kinda' scary, especially without my boys there, I'm always more nervous going into it without my boys. Damn it, who am I supposed to count on now? My head's all loopy and they were not there, that is a crazy feeling. And I thought Jacquie was rough… but uh, she never blasted the side of my head open like Angel so I guess you will see a lot more between the two of us now, that's for sure.'

'I was really mad and it all came out at once.' I whispered to Jeff quietly.

'You were a totally different person…' Jeff muttered as Adam burst into the room.

'What the fuck did you do that for?' He yelled. I was not in the mood to be yelled at; I knew that I was going to cop it from management. 'Are you an idiot?'

'No, I just…' I tried to explain myself but he cut me off.

'You can't do that out there!' He continued. 'You're lucky Amy was smart enough to cover your ass.'

'I'm sorry…' I tried to apologize but Adam kept going. He walked towards me but Jeff stepped in front of me, placing himself in between us, his back facing me. I placed my hand on his back in approval.

'What do you think you're doing?' Adam frowned. 'This is has nothing to do with you.'

'You need to back away.' Jeff said sternly.

'What?' Adam half laughed in disbelief.

'You need cool off.' Jeff's tone grew louder and stronger.

Adam chuckled. 'I don't need to do anything. Who do you think you are? Don't get between us.' They stared each other down for what seemed like eternity. The room filled with an awkward silence.

'Adam, leave the room.' Jeff said again, breaking the silence.

'Cat, you're a fucking screw up.' Adam spat. Before he could turn, I felt the temperature of Jeff's body rise and his back shake.

'Don't call her that!' He yelled he pushed Adam's chest, catching him completely off guard and causing his for fall onto a self. As he got up to retaliate, this was my turn to step in between them. I had each of my hand on their chests and could feel both their heartbeat's racing, which was really weird. I raised my head, only just noticing now that the camera man had been filming this the whole time.

'Guys, for all of our sakes, we need to stop.' I said under my voice. Adam looked in the direction I had my eyes fixed.

'She's right.' Adam grumbled. Jeff nodded in agreement.

'You're fucking genius, girls!' Vince McMahon cried as he approached us at the after party. 'Way to make history on your first pay-per-view. The first Diva ever to bleed. And you even used a real slash, just like professionals!' I turned to Amy who rolled her eyes at his comment. Mr. McMahon had a tendency to be sexist, although I don't think he meant it half the time. 'Big things to come for both of you girls. Lita will be in the running for the Women's Championship again.'

'Are you serious?' She gushed and gave him a big hug. 'Ow, watch the face.'

'And Cat, your storylines will pick up like crazy. How about working with Kurt a bit more to Valet in main event matches?' I thought about it for a moment, and he picked up on my hesitation. 'You'll still get to Valet for your boyfriend, don't worry. This will give you more screen time, and you'll get to work with Steph and Hunter. Oh and Debra and Steve, too. And even Dwayne!' He stopped before he walked away. 'Oh, and remind me to get someone to organize your own entrance music?'

'Thanks for the opportunity,' I thanked him. 'Sounds great.' He walked away as Hunter approached us.

'Girlies, that was brave.' He hugged me. 'Well done.'

I laughed.

'What's so funny?' He asked, raising an eyebrow.

'Can you keep a secret?' I questioned and he nodded in response. 'Everyone thinks it was planned.' It was true, we were accidental geniuses.

'Shhhhhh!' Hunter and Amy said at the same time. I saw Adam sitting in the corner talking to Jay, looking like he was in a better mood, but still a bit glum.

'I better go check out those two.' I told them both. 'Make sure they are not getting into any trouble.'

'I'm going to go find Matt. I think he is playing pool with Shane.' Amy said.

'Where is Jeff?' I asked.

'He is outside, on the phone to Beth.' Amy replied without thinking. 'He broke up with her before we got here, she wouldn't stop calling him so he answered.'

'What?' I said, not able to keep the smile off my face, a wave of glee filling every ounce of my body. Amy ignored my expression and happy dance; however Hunter gave me a confused look. 'What?'

'Weird reaction when a friend is going through a breakup.' He grilled, suspiciously.

'I didn't like her.' I said bluntly, not lying. 'She was really mean to me.' I gave him my puppy dog eyes.

'Why? She was lovely.'

'Totally.' I rolled my eyes as I walked away. He gave Amy a suspicious look as she shrugged and walked in the opposite direction.

As I approached Adam and Jay, Jay stood up from his char. 'You look like you just won the lottery.'

'Well, good things come in threes right?' I asked happily.

'What's up?' Jay asked.

'I thought that was bad things?' Adam asked.

'Maybe it's both?' Jay added.

'Whatever. Two good things have happened,' I explained as I sat in Jay's chair. 'One, because everyone thinks Amy and I are genius, I get main even storylines and two, no more Beth!'

'Yeah, we heard.' Adam said sarcastically as Jay put his arms around me.

'Main event? Are you leaving us?' Jay asked.

'No, no! I just get more screen time, must be doing something right. Amy is being written into the Women's Championship storyline, so maybe that's the third thing? I don't think so. Something else amazing will happen believe me! ' I turned to Adam who looked miserable again. 'Are you ok?'

'You're not a screw up.' He said.

'And that's my cue to go find something or someone else.' He stumbled off, clearly intoxicated.

We sat there for a moment, until he spoke up. 'You're not a screw up, but did you have to take his side?'

'Who's side?' I asked.

'Jeff's. Your new bestie.' He said bitterly.

'He's not my bestie. You are.' I felt like I was lying.

'I hope I'm more, actually.'

We sat again in silence.

'Is anything else wrong?'

'Well you know how you said good things come in threes? Well I feel like I'm the opposite at the moment.' He explained. 'We have been booked to lose our belts.'

'That's not a big deal, really. You can't always be tag team champions.'

'Yeah and second is this fight with Jeff. I hate fighting with friends. I consider him one of my closest.' He said as I felt a stab in my gut.

'I guess he got upset when you called me a screw up.' I explained as he gave me a puzzled look. 'People call him that and he hates it. The Younger Hardy…'

'…The Screw Up.' He finished my sentence, gathering what I was telling him. 'Yeah I didn't think of that. I get it.' He paused for a moment. 'I just know you are going to leave our faction and that will be the third.'

I shook my head. 'Don't look at it that way. Edge & Christian can't live for ever; don't you want to go for a singles title?' I asked. 'Win a Royal Rumble? Become a Main Eventer?'

'Yes, but I thought you would always valet me.' He confessed.

Again, I shook my head. 'I don't think it works that way. I would love to do more work in ring and we both should work with other people-'

'You want to work with other people?' He cut me off. I knew what he really meant.

'On screen, we can't be together forever. It would be boring. For both of us.' Suddenly I didn't know if I was talking about on or off screen. 'I think we should just live for the moment.'

'LIVE FOR THE MOMENT!' Screamed a southern accent in my ear. 'I like that you come up with some great shit.' Jeff had his arm around me as Adam got up and walked away.

'Jeff, fuck off.' I laughed.

'It's so right though - like live now, in this moment.' He was slurring his words.

'Ok…' I gave him a weird look.

'Sometimes I think you're just the chick version of me.'

'Are you ok?' I asked and he shrugged in response.

'What're you drinking?' He raised his beer.

'Coke, I'm underage.'

'Sprite?'

'Fanta.'

'We should have a McDonalds party for your next birthday.' He laughed as he grabbed Chris Jericho. 'Look, the Hamburgler!'

Luckily, Chris picked up the conversation as he was walking past, and knew what Jeff was talking about. 'You could dye your hair orange and be Ronald McDonald.' Jeff gave me an excited look.

'Cat, we've never done orange.' He looked at me wide eyed.

'Fuck no.' I said blatantly. 'Not orange. Yuck.' I hate orange.

I knocked on Vince McMahons door with a plan. I don't know if it was because of my actions behind his back, or just the way he was feeling alone, I felt like I owed something to Adam.

'Come in!' I head as I turned the door knob and opened the door.

'My little Kitten.' Vince smiled flamboyantly. 'Lovely Caterina, what can I do for you?'

'It's not for me that I'm here for.'

'Oh, then who sent you here?' He asked.

'No one,' I started to explain. 'I just, I want to talk about Adam.'

'There are so many changes happening this Year, I don't know what is going to happen to the many factions and tag teams we have.' He paused. 'But I can't tell you more.' It was ok; I totally knew what was going down.

'I don't want to Valet forever.' I added. 'I love it but I think it would be cool to be in ring.'

'I agree.' Vince nodded. 'Well, what can I do for the not so present Adam Copeland?'

'He needs a push into singles.' I explained. 'Not a total disband of our faction, but maybe a taste of singles competition?'

'He does, doesn't he?' Vince asked rhetorically. 'Maybe a singles match at a pay per view? A singles main even match on Raw is War?'

I shook my head at all of his suggestions. 'I know that the Royal Rumble would be a huge stretch but maybe King of-'

'The Royal Rumble - I have already signed a winner and Adam is just not there yet.' He completely cut me off. 'But what about winning King of the Ring?' He looked at me like it was the best idea he had all year. I slapped my forehead with the palm of my hand. 'Done.' He held out my hand and I shook it.

I thanked him and walked towards the door, turning as I suddenly remembered something.

'Oh, and Mr. McMahon?' I spoke up. 'Can you maybe not tell him we had this chat?'

'I don't know what you're talking about this is all my idea.' He laughed, and then looked at me seriously. 'You are not only the best valet we have onscreen, but from what I have seen today you really manage your team off screen too. You are going to go so far in the sports entertainment industry; you have a fantastic eye for it.'

'Thanks. That means a lot.' I said as I skipped away, feeling on top of the world.

'Look, Cat.' Jeff started as we sat watching the show backstage in Team Extreme's locker room a few weeks later. Matt and Amy sat on the couch next to ours. 'I have told you how many times now…'

'I don't want to hear it, again.' I cut him off.

'Oww… Regal had that coming,' Matt said loudly. 'Don't fuck with Austin.'

'Did you hear about Stacey?' Amy asked loudly. 'She was released.' I did hear about the firing of The Kat and knew the rumours, so I completely ignored her statement.

'There can only be one Kitty in the company. Meow!' Laughed Matt as Jeff leaned into my ear.

'He's getting aggressive. You deserve so much more.' He whispered.

'Yeah, the rumour is that she was having an affair and created too much drama backstage.' Amy continued ' For some reason, Lawler's taken her side - god knows why, and Paul Heyman is commentating on Raw is War.'

'Man, I don't like him.' I acknowledged her statement.

'Are you listening to me?' Jeff asked loudly and I rolled my eyes in response and cupped his chin with my left hand, squeezing it gently.

'You're cute when you're all mad.' I giggled trying to lighten the mood. Oblivious to the whole situation, Matt announced that he was hungry and left to get some food from catering.

'Cat, the whole roster has seen the footage of him yelling at you. It makes you look pathetic when you are so much better.' Jeff repeated himself for the ten thousandth time.

'The whole fucking wrestling fan base has, thanks to the internet.' Amy added.

'Are you serious?' I asked, shocked. 'Who put it up?'

'No idea, but it's believed it's someone from WCW. Wankers.' Amy said in disguist.

'Why? How?' I was completely confused.

'How they got the footage could have been through anyone on our roster.' Jeff thought out loud. 'There are heaps of mutual friends. Why they would post it… no clue.'

'It's just to start drama.' I shrugged it off.

'Why would they want to start shit here?' Jeff questioned me and I shrugged in response.

'World Championship Wrestling isn't doing very well.' Amy speculated squinting one eye. 'Maybe to have us released. Backstage Drama just had Stacey fired.'

'Exactly, Jeff, Which is why I can't leave Adam.' I said quietly. 'I wouldn't just be risking my career, but also his and even yours.'

'What?' He questioned.

'From the video, people are already speculating something between you two.' Amy backed me up.

'Well, they aren't wrong.' He slumped back into the couch, trying to keep his cool Amy turned to me, shaking her head.

'So it wasn't just one time?' She asked. 'What's wrong with you? Both of you?'

'I can't do anything about this right now, we all care about our work too much.' I moaned.

'Then stop seeing Jeff.' She said bluntly.

'I'm not seeing him!' I yelled. Jeff let out a small laugh.

'You're so in denial it's a joke.' He grumbled.

'I'm not in denial.' I spoke softly. 'I'm saving you're ass. And Adams. You both have to stay popular.' They both looked at me with inquisitive expressions, staring at me with a long silence. Jeff was the first to pipe up.

'You know something.' He was pointing a painted black nail at me. 'Something we don't know.'

'Huh?'

'You're hiding something.' He stood and walked over, still pointing at me. His expression was intrusive but amused.

'No I'm not.' I defended.

'I will get it out of you.' He warned.

'Jeff. she said she's not hiding anything!' Amy backed me up.

'Amy,' Jeff sighed, not taking his eyes off me the whole time he spoke. 'I know this girl too well. I know what she's feeling, what she's thinking and if she's hiding something. I also know that the only way to get anything out of the stubborn girl is to tickle the fucking daylights out of her.' He pounced on me and pinned me down, his strength overwhelmed me. He was able to use one hand to hold my arms above my head as he pinned my legs down with his knees. 'One more chance!'

'Amy, what the fuck?' I cried. 'Help me!'

'Nah, I want to see where this is going.' She laughed as she relaxed back into her chair. 'I don't believe he knows that much about you, but you busted me open so I want to see you in pain.'

'Two spots,' Jeff declared, as he moved his free arm around my body. 'The bottom rib, and under the thigh.'

'Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off!' I yelled at him.

'Tell me.' He demanded as he stabbed my bottom rib with an evil smirk.

'Fuck, stop!' I cried as he gently massaged it in circles which killed me. I held on for a few minutes, trying to fight back and literally in tears, but the guy was just way to strong. 'Ok, ok.' I announced in submission, tapping out on the chair. 'He's right.'

'I don't know what I am more surprised about.' Amy stated as she stood up. 'Whether you kept something from me or Jeff knows you more than I do.'

'We've been spending a lot of time together.' Jeff shrugged with a smirked. 'Now spill.' He threw a pillow in my direction.

'Before I tell you, you can't freak out.' I told him. He nodded and I took a deep breath. 'WCW has been sold. Steph told me'

'Why would that freak me out?' He asked.

'Because the WWF bought it.'

'And..? That's a good thing right?' He questioned. 'No more competition, and the Attitude Era is all worth it.'

'Yeah, no more external competition, but they're offering many of the superstars there contracts here with the WWF. Our roster is going to expand big time.' Jeff's expression became slightly distressed. 'I didn't want to say anything because I knew that you feel like there is already so much talent here.'

'I get it.' He said.

'And I can't leave Adam like you want me too because it would-'

'I get it!' He yelled. 'Enjoy the show?' He spat at Amy before stomping to the bathroom before slamming the door.

'Am I doing the right thing?' I whispered to Amy.

'Depends.' She grabbed my hand with comfort. 'In the sense of business and careers, then yes.' I sighed with relief. 'In the sense of your heart, and I now think Jeff's heart, I don't think so.'

'Adam can't lose me and his Job.' I replied, shaking my head. 'Jeff doesn't love me.'

'I don't know,' Amy shrugged. 'I think he does. I know that boy like I would know a little brother, he is just to afraid to admit it.'
