Lights Out!!!

Smackdown Live's 'It' Couple On The Verge Of Losing 'It'.

I was barely arriving at the arena and was about to just grab a cup of Sweet Peach Tea when a tech told me to report to Hunter's office. So I did without another word or moment's hesitation. I practically ran to the office suites. I knocked and heard, 'Come in.'
I peeked my head in after opening the door a bit. "You wanted to see me?" I asked Hunter.
"Yes, Daniel. Come in." I slowly walked in and saw Maryse and Mike on opposite ends of the room. Maryse was sitting to my far right and Mike was to my far left.
"Uhh, what's going on?" I asked.
"Well, Daniel. You are one of the very few left that has a history with these two." Hunter pointed out.
"And as much as I like the coddling or stroking. I suggest you get to the point." I said quickly losing patience.
"Well, Mike and Maryse are, going through a trial separation," Hunter said and I looked at both Maryse and Mike.
"Not to be too indelicate. But what does that have to do with me?" I asked trying not to spark an all-out war between me and the Mizanin's.
"Well, we thought it would be a good idea if Maryse came to Raw. While Mike stayed on Smackdown Live." Hunter danced around my question.
"Hunter. I've known you a long time possibly longer than Mike or Maryse. And you know I'm not one to mess with." He nodded. "So let's not dance around the floor once. What do you need me to do?"
"Maryse will be your manager." He said. I nearly passed out from the shock. I slowly looked at Maryse.
"Uh," I cleared my throat. "Is this a mutual agreement?" I asked Maryse. She looked to Mike. And my gaze followed suit. "It's not a complicated question." I walked up to Hunter's desk. "Is this a mutual agreement between the two of you. For me to look after Maryse or not. Cause if it isn't. I walk out that door and you two can deal with this yourselves." Mike nodded. "Maryse?" She nodded. "Alright. Well, I have a match against Rollins in a few minutes. So. I'll be in my locker room. Come find me when ready." I said to Maryse.
"Thank you, Daniel," Hunter said.
"I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it because I've seen relationships go in the shitter because of creative differences in this business or an overbearing couple who seem to think they know what's best for not only the business but the talent." I said making Maryse hide a smile. "I'm doing it, for her and for him. Not you or anyone else. I want to see this story have a happy ending. Not a nightmare of an ending." I left the office and Maryse followed suit.
"Okay. Mike. Unfortunately since your a Smackdown Live superstar. You'll have to go to the airport and go to the next event for the brand." Mike nodded once. Then stood and shook Hunter's hand.
"I'm just glad Daniel agreed to help."
"While on the subject, what will you do if Maryse and you don't resolve the issue?"
"I'll probably just try and move on. And if I may say so. If we don't work it out. I just hope Maryse finds someone that makes her happy."

Meanwhile in my locker room...
I was just finishing up putting on the last pieces of my attire. "So, you going to tell me the reason for this trial separation," I asked Maryse.
"Well, we've just hit a snag." She said, "As you know, me and Mike love each other very much. But after he returned from filming a movie or an appearance on one. He spent less time at home with me and Monroe and more time on the road."
"He does have a family...what am I saying?" I asked making her laugh.
"I know. But between the both of us. We make more than enough money to provide for Monroe and ourselves." She said.
"Well it is a little unusual that he doesn't spend too much time at home I'll give you that." I put on my jacket. "Now, if I ask Mike. Will his answer be the same as yours?"
"Probably not. But I'm sure it will be pretty close to the same."
"Okay. I'll take your word for it. I'm just a little surprised that you two are having trouble."
Maryse blushed a bit as she looked down in her lap. "Well, I do appreciate you helping us out this way."
"No problem. Does that mean you'll be needing a place to stay?' I asked.
"How did you guess?"
"I know the standard procedure," I told her. "Trial separations require the parties to live in either different homes or different addresses. And since your my friend as much as he is. And by extension. I'm offering you one of the spare rooms I haven't used at all. There is a bed there. It's just waiting to be occupied. And it's yours. If you want it."
"Give me until the end of your match to decide."
"Fair enough." I smiled. I soon headed to the gorilla as did Maryse with me. Seth noticed me coming to the gorilla with Maryse.
"Hey, Daniel. Umm."
"I think it's best you don't ask too many questions right now."
"Well, I heard that Mike was seen leaving the arena. And..."
"Seth."
"Daniel. It's alright." Maryse rubbed my right arm. Then looked to Seth. "Long story short. Mike and I are taking a little break. Now I don't want to be given special treatment and I don't want Mike to be given special treatment either." She slid into my arms.
"How long do you think this trial separation is going to last?"
"Hopefully it will be cleared up by 'Mania 35."
"Which luckily for us is a month and a half away." I smiled. "I think this should be sorted out by the first Hall of Fame Inductee announcement."
"I agree with Daniel," Seth said making Maryse smile.
"Thank you, boys." Maryse smiled.
"I do think that it will work out." She smiled wider as I rubbed her back. Seth headed out and I waited until my cue. "You know. You don't have to come out with me tonight. You can start coming out with me next week if you wish."
"No. I'll be okay."
"Alright. But if at any time you feel uncomfortable. You can just head back here and go to the locker room." She nodded.
"Thank you." I hugged her tightly before letting her go so we could head to the ring separately.
Then 'Lights Out' by Hollywood Undead hit the speakers and I looked to Maryse. "See you out there." I headed out to the stage and stopped as the crowd looked and screamed and cheered. I held up a finger and then pointed to the curtain. Maryse came out with the swagger she was well known for. I smiled as I extended my arm and bowed my head. She slid her left arm around my right arm and walked down to the ring with me. The announcers were absolutely in chaos as everyone noticed that the French Canadian Beauty was with me instead of on Smackdown Live with the Miz. 'Now remember what I said. Anytime you feel uncomfortable.'
'Head to the locker room.' I entered the ring and she walked to my corner.
