"Stephanie is a very fair General Manager," Adam explained.  As the one of them on the SmackDown brand the longest, he knew this from personal experience to be true.

"I like her..." Dawn Marie said with a smile.  "Remember your surprise birthday party?" she asked, directing the question to Adam.  "I think she and John Cena sort of like each other..."

"Thinking of playing matchmaker?" Amy asked, smiling brightly at her friend.

"Hmm... Could be - thanks for the idea."  The brunette laughed.

The redhead clapped a hand against the other woman's shoulder.

"Isn't she incorrigible?"

This time, all four of the wrestlers laughed.  To Amy, it was like music to her ears.  It felt good to be able to laugh after the tussle with Matt and his bimbo.

"Well, I'd better let you go get showered..." Adam said, gazing fondly down into her eyes.  They were now in front of the women's locker room.

"So, we're still on for a late dinner tonight, Dawnie?" Rey asked as he smiled, his eyes fixed on the brunette's.

"Most definitely..."

Mysterio's smile blossomed into a full-fledged grin.  "Great..."  He leaned in closer to plant a quick but sweet kiss on Dawn's lips, eliciting just slightly surprised expressions to form on their friends' faces.

After the men left the divas, Amy instantly turned to Dawn Marie as they entered the room together.

"So...looks like you and Rey are really getting close..."

"He is so sweet - and such a gentleman.  Amy, I really like him..."

"Ahh..."

"Oh, my God, what happened to you?"

The two divas looked across the room at Nidia, whom they hadn't seen as she'd been quietly sitting and reading over her script for the night.  Now, the little brunette came closer, eyeing Amy almost as though with wonder.  "You look like you got into a food fight!"

The redhead and Dawn exchanged almost amused glances, then Amy turned back to Nidia.

"Well...I sort of did..."

As the petite brunette's eyes widened slightly in questioning surprise, the fiery diva began to explain...

Matt and Torrie exited Stephanie's office after nearly a forty-five minute lecture.  But it wasn't merely a lecture they'd received, as the GM made certain that they would receive an adequate punishment for their 'inappropriate behavior,' as she'd deemed it.

Torrie was going to be in a paddle on a pole match against not only Dawn Marie, but Nidia as well, in a handicap match - and she would lost, both brunettes taking turns in whacking her on the backside.  As for Mattitude, he would be facing Rikishi one-on-one and suffer not one, not two, but three Stinkfaces in the bout.  On top of this, Stephanie had assured Matt that she would make sure the big Samoan would wear the in-ring gear he rarely, if ever washed.  It would be sheer and utter humilation - which was precisely what the General Manager was going for.

"God damn that bitch to hell!" Matt cried as they entered their locker room.  He threw his hands up into the air as he yelled, then raked them through his long dark hair as though to tear it out.

"Well, there's nothing we can do..." Torrie said miserably as she briefly glanced down at her ruined dress.  "She's the boss, and-"

"I wasn't talking about Stephanie..." Matt interrupted.  "No - I was talking about that no good redheaded whore!"

"Oh..."  The blonde diva narrowed her eyes at the mention of Amy.

"Torrie, listen to me," Matt said as he placed both hands on her shoulders and gazed into her face, not at all mindful of the mess of food that had been splattered all over her.  "I am going to get even with her if it's the last thing I do.  What's more, I'm gonna teach her knight in shining armor and that little punk a lesson, too!"

The blonde woman nodded vigorously, her eyes widened as though in crazed delight.

"Oh, goody...And I guess I'll have to teach that bitch Dawn Marie a lesson..."

"Good idea," Matt said, a nasty smirk coming to his face.  "I'd say because you're the woman that you should take care of Amy, too...but no - I've got special plans for her..."
