After
In the sound of sea, in the oceans of me
"What happened to our snacks?" Celeste asks while April nervously comes through the doorway.
"I-I saw Jon."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Celeste says slightly above a whisper.
"No, no it's fine. It's just-" April pushes her hair behind her ears. "I think I might want him back."
"That's good, isn't it?"
"No it's not." She sighs. "I still have a date with Joe tomorrow and if Jon can't leave my mind, I don't know if I'm ready to see other people."
"Tomorrow night's supposed to be the Raw when you finally get to kiss John Cena. So when you kiss John, and go on your date with Joe, Jon will be completely out of question."
"But what if he gets jealous?"
"Don't even think about it. Just know that tomorrow will be a great day for you."
"Thanks, Cel."
"Now let's go to bed. We have a big day tomorrow."
April and Celeste walk to their respective beds and instantly fall asleep.

"Wake up, chick!" Celeste says while repeatedly hitting April with a pillow.
"I'm up!" April sits up.
Celeste throws the pillow back onto the bed and hands her a protein shake. "We gotta get you ready for your lunch date."
April chugs down the shake and hands the cup back to Celeste, while wiping her mouth. "I already know what I'm gonna wear. Marvel t-shirt, skinny jeans, chucks. Simple."
"Are you sure he's gonna like it?"
"Who cares what any guy thinks about what you wear? Cause I don't."
"Okay-"
"If he doesn't like what I'm wearing, then I won't go on any more dates with him, period point blank."
April quickly gets changed, grabs her phone and nods to Celeste before walking out.

"You look great." Joe smiles at April as they both sit down in a Starbucks.
"Thank you. Jon used to- uh, nevermind." April shakes her head and looks down.
"Okay, do you want me to go order?"
"Sure."
Joe gets up. "Vanilla bean frappuccino, right?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"Jon told me." He pulls out his wallet and goes over to the barista.
The rest of the date goes well, but April still can't seem to get Jon out of her mind.

"All this; garbage. A load of crap. Why? Because you're trying to give people something to talk about. I'll show ya how to give people something to talk about." John turns from Vickie and walks up to April. He takes off his hat. "AJ, I hope you don't mind."
April looks around confusedly while he wraps his arms around her and plants a soft kiss to her lips.
He pulls away and leaves her stunned. "You see, Vickie? That, that right there is wh-"
He's interrupted by April grabbing his arm, spinning him around and kisses him deeply.
The kiss last several seconds before Nick attacks him from behind.
April and Vickie both leave the ring as they fight.
Nick runs out of the ring and John follows him, hurting his leg in the process.
Vickie's yelling at them while following them backstage.
April's shocked by what has transpired.
