-Monday Night Raw-
Jeff finished touching up his paint in the mirror and went to find his tag partner. He'd spent the day with Summer and it had been one of the most carefree days he'd had in a long time. When she'd finally gotten together with Matt, he'd forgotten how much fun it was just to be around her. It was like being with the Summer he remembered, and all they had done all day was gone shopping.

"Oh my god Jeff! Look at that outfit, now that would totally freak Jim out if I wore that to ringside!"
Jeff grinned at her. She was always trying to come up with new ways to freak people in the WWE out. She usually succeeded in her efforts. Like the time she had him dye her hair purple a few months beforehand. Jim had lost his mind on that one. She wasn't miss Plain Jane anymore.
"You should buy it. It goes with your hair."
"You're going to have to do it again Jeff, I think its losing that extreme quality that made it exciting and different."
"Anytime babe. I've still got the dye at home."
"So are you hungry man? You've gone since like eight Am without food, and I know what you get like when you don't eat for that long."
"Nah, don't worry about me this time Summer. I'm having too much fun with you to be hungry. Come over here and check out these sunglasses. I want a pair like Jay does."
"Those yellow things? Are you crazy or just insane? On second though man, don't answer that." Summer said bursting out laughing as Jeff tried on the glasses.
Summer grabbed a pair of glasses with glitter all around them and slipped them on Jeff's eyes. Jeff's body tingled when she touched him. Even for that quick second, he could feel the electricity between them. He shook it off and looked at her.
"Nah, those don't suit you rainbow, you need something a little more.. Drastic?"
"How much more drastic can I be Summer? I've got you here with me. I think I've met my drastic amount for today."
Summer gently smacked him on the arm. He was crazy silly but she was glad he'd brought her out to the mall today. They were always able to have fun, even when one of them was upset at the world.
"Yeah but you need a drastic wardrobe to match it. I won't be seen with just anyone you know?"
She grabbed his hand and dragged him away from the sunglasses, causing him to drop the ones he was holding onto the counter. Smiling at the clerk he allowed himself to be dragged to the next store. The lingerie shop was apparently next on her list.
"You sure I need to shop here to be extreme Summer?" Jeff said trying not to laugh.
Summer cracked a smile and punched him on the arm again. She needed some new things from the store, but didn't want to drive Jeff crazy.
"Come back in ten minutes then. I'll be outside waiting for you."
"No! I'm going to help you choose. I mean we usually end up bunking together on the road anyways, and I want to see what you sleep in when we don't."
"Then help me choose. Just don't choose anything pink and frilly."
"Gotcha boss! Also don't pick anything too sexy. I don't think my heart could handle it right now." Jeff laughed as Summer started sorting through the racks. This was going to be a long trip.
~~~~
Jeff smiled as he thought about it. They hadn't gotten anything pink or frilly, but he ended up with silk boxers, and Summer had gotten some cute sleeping clothes, and a one piece that she wouldn't show him. Her smile was enough to have made the day great. He went down the hall to the ladies locker room. It was time for their match.

-Ladies Locker Room, around the same time-
"Summer, I know you're pissed off at her, and you have a good reason to be, but don't let what Matt did affect you. He's not worth that much. Everyone here on Raw knows who the dog is, and it's not babe."
Summer smiled at Trish. They had become fast friends when she'd joined Raw. They seemed to understand each other.
"So you went shopping with Jeff today? Did you have a good time?"
"Trish he's been really great to me. It was his weekend off and he stayed with me at the house the entire time. We've always been close, but he really cared about me to stay the whole weekend. He helped me work through a lot of stuff. The shopping trip was like old times. Before Matt..." Summer said trailing off in thought.
"Hey Summer! Don't get lost in there again. I'm glad you had a good time with Jeff. You're smiling more then you were the last time I saw you, so I'm happy for you."
"Well I've got the two best friends in the world. Why shouldn't I smile?"
Trish laughed and started working on her stretches. She really admired Summer. This girl wanted to be a wrestler her whole life, and she'd finally done it. Surpassing everyone's expectations. It sucked that she was being dealt a shitty hand in the love department.
"Listen I've got to go get some air. If Jeff comes by, tell him to meet me in our usual spot. We've got a match in twenty minutes."
"I'll tell him. Don't let this Matt situation eat you up. You'll make it through."
"Thanks a lot Tish. I'll talk to you after your match with Vicky. Knock them dead out there, as always."
With a smile and a wave, Summer left the locker room and walked to the back production area. This was the same arena where she'd asked Matt out for the first time.
~~~~
"Hey Summer, you seen Jeff around anywhere? Or are you out here looking for him too?" Matt asked with a smile.
"Actually, I'm out here to see you. I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Okay, come here and sit, and let's talk. You don't have a match?"
"Second hour, so I have tons of time. Listen we're friends right Matt?" Summer asked as she sat down on the steps of the production truck.
"The best, why?"
"I can tell you anything and we'd still be cool right?"
"Yes of course we would Hun. But where is this coming from and where is it headed?"
"Matt, I'm seriously attracted to you. I have been for months. I wanted to get to know you before I told you, and now that I have, gotten to know you... I was wondering, if you'd go out with me sometime."
"I can't Summer. You're a great girl, but it wouldn't be right."
"Um...that's cool Matt. Listen, just forget everything I just said, and we'll go back to normal."
"No Summer, we can't do that. It wouldn't be right for me because I didn't ask you first. I'm attracted to you too babe. It's mutual. I've been attracted to you from the first time I saw you. I'll admit, you look like Jeff's type of girl, not mine, but there's something about you that gets to me. Will you go out with me Summer?"
She was shell-shocked. She'd thought he was going to turn her down, and this was completely unexpected.
"Of course I will Matt. I'm sorry I beat you to the punch. I just thought this was the best time to do it. I rarely get you alone anymore, with us being in different shows."
"It was the right time. I'll call you when we get home, and we'll do it."
Matt pulled her close and kissed her gently on her forehead. He was glad she'd said yes. This girl was different he could feel it. He'd really lucked out with her feeling the same.
