Chapter 1
"Welcome back"

Ashley Massaro bounced up and down to warm herself up behind the famous curtain; it had been months since her last time out there and now she was eager to step outside and feel the excitement of the crowd and her own running through her veins.

"Here we go," she smiled with an eye on the monitor where she was watching the current match, her moment had finally arrived and she couldn't wait anymore.

---

Michelle McCool ran towards Victoria knocking her down with a clothesline and then, as soon as the vicious vixen stood up, she hit her with a standing dropkick.

"A beautiful, athletic move performed by Michelle McCool!" Michael Cole commented at ringside.

"I wouldn't mind having her perform it on me!" JBL echoed with a grin.

But in meanwhile the dark haired diva was already back on her feet and, after ducking another clothesline, had taken Michelle down with a suplex and locked the blonde in a roll up… with an handful of tights.

1, 2, 3.

The former women's champion didn't even have enough time to realize her win cause someone took her from behind, while she was still holding Michelle, and tossed her heavily on the mat.

"But… that's Ashley!" Michael Cole exclaimed, "she's back!"

"And now that's the perfect Christmas present I wished for!" JBL beamed.

Victoria's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at no other than the self proclaimed dirty diva standing in the ring. "You! What the hell you think you're doing here!" The dark haired diva yelled.

"I'm back, bitch!" Ashley replied with a shrug and a confident smile as she was now side by side with an obviously disappointed Michelle who was glaring at her opponent.

"Thanks," the taller diva smiled as Ashley raised her hand and pointed at her fellow diva while the crowd cheered for them.

"I guess the dirty diva is finally back, Michael!" JBL concluded the broadcast.

---

The two blondes walked together in the backstage, Michelle's arm around Ashley's shoulders.

"And finally she's back." She said in a sing song voice.

"Trust me, I couldn't wait anymore!" The punk diva giggled.

"So now you're gonna kick some butts around here, huh?"

"Well, that's what I intend to." She grinned amused at her friend's smile.

"Awesome… so first of all we gonna celebrate!"

"And what do we have to celebrate?"

"Hello? Are we having the same conversation here?" The taller diva rolled her eyes, "Your return, of course!"

"Okay, sorry" she laughed "so what do you have in mind?"

"A great night out with your fellow divas and wrestlers! How does that sound to you?" She announced with a satisfied smile.

"Aw very cool but actually for tonight I was hoping of some relax, you know, like just you and a few of the girls in my hotel room…"

"C'mon when was the last time you went clubbing?" Michelle rolled her eyes as Ashley didn't answer, "See? You need some fun! And besides, you've been away for too long so no protests accepted."

"Fine, let's do it." The punk princess gave up with a playful roll of her eyes.

"Awesome!" Her friend giggled linking arm with her, "Just wait till I tell Torrie and then all the roster would be informed!"

Ashley wasn't quite sure if that sounded more like a threat actually, but she hadn't time to express her feelings cause they spotted a couple of superstars who where walking in the nearby corridor.

"Hey there ladies!"

"Oh noes…" Michelle groaned as Jamie Noble approached them.

"What's wrong?" the punk princess looked at her friend with a confused look but was soon distracted by Jamie who took her own hand and kissed it.

"Enchanté." He grinned.

Michelle eloquently looked at the punk diva as to say "That's what's wrong!"

"'Chelle you never introduced me to your friend here…" Jamie went on with a seductive tone… at least according to him.

"Ashley, Jamie. Jamie, Ashley." The blonde simply said rolling her eyes and hoping that that torture wouldn't last long.

"You know Michelle and I are getting very closer… I think I will call her my girlfriend soon, so I guess we'll see each other often now." He told Ash in what was supposed to be a low, confidential whisper… that of course everybody around them heard.

The punk diva looked almost shocked at the others, wondering what on earth he was talking about and desperately trying to hold laughter as her eyes met Shannon Moore's amused grin.

"…good to know then." She nodded at Jamie who seemed to wait for an answer from her and shoot an eloquent "Help me" look at the blonde superstar in front of her.

"Jamie, I think I just saw Hornswoggle running around with your gym back, you know?" Shannon piped up pointing at an undefined point in front of them.

"What? That stupid, little…" and muttering something else against the illegitimate McMahon, the dark haired cruiserweight finally left the two girls.

"Thank God!" Michelle dramatically exclaimed looking up and without wasting another minute marched towards the women's locker room.

"OMG what was that?" The dirty diva asked madly giggling.

"You wouldn't know, trust me," Shannon chuckled "he's obsessed with her. And with the leprechaun."

"I noticed." She commented amused and slightly shook her head, "God, I think I've been gone for too long, I missed all this!"

"Definitely." The self proclaimed prince of punk flashed her a smile. Being him one of Matt's closest friends, they had known each other for quite long.

"So how are you doing Shan?" She said with the same friendly smile.

"Pretty good actually… and you?"

But she hadn't time to answer cause another old acquaintance brushed past them, literally grabbing Shannon's arm with him.

"We're late punk, no time for talk. Hi Ash, bye Ash." Gregory Helms said in his rush.

The dirty diva just rolled her eyes at the one of Matt's friends that she had always liked the least.

Shannon turned to look at her and apologetically opened his arms, "Welcome back!" he shouted back at her.

She nodded and smiled before turning to go and join Michelle. "It's indeed good to be back…" she couldn't help but think to herself with a chuckle.
