Well this is not an update but it's something new! I came up with the idea while I was looking at some comments on YouTube. I was watching the video where Bret Hart was bashing Trips and calling him mediocre (totally disagree, then again, I might be just a bit biased) And I came across comments from people like "Triple H is only where he's at because he married Stephanie," or "He just married Stephanie to get his place on top!" Of course I believe this is all bullshit from fans that have nothing better to do than to hate on other wrestlers, but it did spark an idea out of me… lol. I have no idea what this would lead to… But let's see. Hope you like it.


Vince stood in front of the large group of people that were currently chatting away. Both creative and wrestling personnel were currently gathering in the large meeting room. He waited for the last group of people to be seated before he cleared his throat. The noise level soon decreased as the attention was directed towards the Chairman. Vince gave a nod of approval to no one in particular, taking several steps forward before addressing the crowd.

"Evening everyone, thank you for taking some time off your busy schedules. I am well aware that this was a last minute notice, but we have a major dilemma due to one of our ongoing storylines."

Incoherent murmurs emerged from the members of staff, it was very rare that problems liked this occurred. But when it did, the whole locker room had to pitch in with ideas.

"Whose storyline, dad?" Shane spoke up, silencing the group of people. He saw the look in his father's brown orbs. He looked pissed off to say the least. He wondered what happened to put his father in such a sour disposition. Vince let out a long sigh; he was trying not to lose control in front of all his staff. Sure, he was pissed, as anyone in his current predicament would be. But cool heads prevailed in situations like these. He flicked the cuffs of his brown suit coat as he paced around the grey carpeted floor.

"Stephanie and Andrew's"

Stephanie's blue eyes widen as she heard her father's announcement. She felt herself begin to panic. No, this couldn't be happening. Out of everyone's storylines it had to be hers, hadn't it? Stephanie had worked extremely hard to make this storyline work. She practised dialogue day in and day out and she even brushed up on her acting skills. She and Andrew had great onscreen chemistry. Stephanie had put 110% into her character. She wanted people to know that she was here for a reason, not just because she's the bosses' daughter. She works just as hard and gets treated as any other employee in the business. That is why when her name was mentioned with a major dilemma due to her storyline, her heart dropped to her stomach. Could her father be reconsidering putting her on television? Was she doing a shit job? She tucked her brown strands behind her ear before speaking out.

"What's wrong daddy?"

Vince notice the worried look in his daughter's eyes, his hands reached up to run over his weary face. God he was so pissed. The bastard who was in charge of the ingenious idea of Stephanie and Andrew's storyline decided to leave the company. And it was a good storyline, but he left them with no alternative. They had already had to make Stephanie's character lose her memory due to an accident, giving them much needed time to come up with a great idea. Stephanie and Andrew's character, Test, were set to be wed next week on RAW. They needed to come up with brilliant idea and fast. They were in a ratings war; mediocre storylines would not increase in viewership.

"Vince Russo has left the company, leaving us with nothing to do for the wedding next week."

Stephanie looked confused, "What's wrong with that? I think the wedding is a good idea" She leaned forward in her seat, awaiting a response from her father.

"That's it right there! It's a good idea! But it's too predictable, Stephanie. We need something ground-breaking! Something that our audience will not expect. This is about ratings people!" Vince threw his arms up in the air, further emphasising his point.

The large mass of people started talking amongst themselves. Vince liked the sound of that. His talent could come up with the best ideas at the worst of times. He folded his arms across his broad chest. He watched as a big tanned arm shot up of the back of room.

"Vince, I think I've got an idea!"

The raspy voice boomed through the room as everyone went silent. Heads turned in the direction of the voice. Vince's mouth twitched in a smile. "Paul, I hope this is ratings material!" His enthusiastic voice echoed with excitement.

Paul ran his hand through his blonde strands as he scooted up in his seat. This was finally his chance for a push. Sure he got a push with D-Generation X. And his feud with Vince was entertaining enough, but this idea would surly get him some much needed attention. Paul folded his massive arms in front of him as he began to explain his idea.

"It's simple, I marry Stephanie."

Stephanie jolted her head in his direction. Vince raised his brow, the idea was already intriguing. It was better than what they had to go with originally.

"Go on," Vince encouraged Paul as he stroked his dimpled chin with his thumb.

"Well, our characters are already feuding. What an interesting twist it would be if Mr McMahon's arch rival was married to his beloved daughter." Paul smiled with satisfaction. Proud of the idea that he'd just shared. Shane could see the wheels in his father's head turning. An asinine smile crossed his face as he nodded in approval.

"That's a fantastic idea, Paul!"

Paul's lips turned into a tight smile, "Thank you, sir."

"But how would we execute this?"

Paul absently scratched at his thin beard and his mind went to work on an idea. His hazel eyes lit up in delight, "We're going to be in Vegas next week, right?"

Vince slowly nodded; he had the slightest idea of where he was going with this.

"Well, what if during the ceremony, I come out and reveal a video of me marrying Stephanie at one of those drive through Wedding Chapel things in Vegas?" Paul curiously gazed at Vince, trying to read his face for a response.

Vince paced the room nodding in approval. Paul's idea was brilliant and actually has potential to work. But they knew they would have to add something to this to make this credible. Despite half the fans knew what they did was all scripted, they were not stupid. They needed this story to be believable for the crowd to react to it. They surly can't expect Stephanie to willing agree to marry Hunter when she was supposedly in love with Test.

"That's great, but we need to make this believable. Maybe Steph's character should be under the influence of some kind of drug or alcohol or somethin', might make it more believable that way. Like she was not aware of her surprise courtship."

Paul nodded in approval, "That might actually work; we can get someone to slip her a Mickey at her bachelorette party or somethin'."

Paul grinned as the noise of murmured approvals echoed around the room. Vince had to admit he was impressed. Paul was one of the best in the roster and often came up with the best ideas. This new storyline was definitely something good both for the company and for his character and Steph's character too. He knew that his daughter had been working extremely hard, this could add some much needed depth to her character and create an interesting feud.

Vince turned his attention to the people in front of him. "Okay everyone, thank you for coming here today, and thank you Paul for the brilliant idea. We will see where this new storyline takes us; at the end of the day it is all up to our audience and what they think." Vince paused as he looked around the room, all faces were eager to get out and start preparing for the show, they were San Diego taping Smackdown tonight, and this meeting was holding everyone up. "Okay, you're dismissed." With that he marched off to his office to quickly prepare everything for later on that night with Shane closely behind him.

The scraping of chairs signalled the end of the meeting. Stephanie absently scanned the room and her blue orbs made contact with his hazel ones. A gentle smile adorned his face, making him look even more handsome. She felt her face burn crimson red as she diverted her gaze down to her pink skirt. Her fingers fiddled with it anxiously, for some reason the idea of working with Paul was making her feel apprehensive and eager at the same time.

They were not exactly strangers in the senses, they were merely acquaintances. She had hardly spoken more than ten words to the man and was now expected to be working in a storyline with him. There was also something about Paul's overall mannerism that made him seem intimidating to Stephanie. Maybe it was because he was so big and walked around with a serious expression. But she had always admired him. His wiliness to help out his peers and he was often the one who ended disputes amongst the locker room. Though in the past he was known for 'banging the ring rats', Stephanie could see those days were behind him. He even established a long-term relationship with someone, Joanie, who is known to fans as Chyna, was once in a relationship with him that lasted for years. Stephanie had heard rumours about them though; gossip in the locker rooms spreads like wildfire. Apparently the two were always in conflict and called it quits. But Stephanie never knew the full story, she and Joanie weren't exactly friends perse.

She suddenly heard footsteps coming towards her, her eyes still glued to her skirt as she absently played with the hem. He was coming to talk to her. She could feel his stare practically burning through her. Stephanie felt his immense presence in front of her. She slowly raised her head; she was met with a pair of warm friendly eyes. His stare made her feel at ease as she smiled somewhat timidly at him.

"Looks like we're working together," he stated, a warm smile adorned his face. Stephanie tucked a lose strand of hair behind her ear as she smiled back at him. "Yeah, I guess we are."

Paul stood there, not sure of what to do next. This was the first time he was having a proper conversation with the woman. He would need to establish a good relationship with her if they were going to work together, even if it was for a short time. He could tell she was nervous by her overall mannerism, she fiddled with the hem of her skirt and her eyes darted anxiously around the room, waiting for him to say something.

"So listen, Stephanie, if you need anything just don't be afraid to ask. Okay?" He could tell she was intimidated by him. He did seem to come off as a rather unapproachable person. That was why he was trying to reach out to her, make her understand that he was not that bad of a person that everyone in the locker room has him pinned him to be.

Stephanie's blue eyes looked up at him; she saw a look of integrity deep within his hazel pools. She grinned at him appreciatively. "Thanks Paul, and just call me Steph."

A smile spread across his handsome features as he nodded, "Okay, well I guess I'll see you around, Steph."

A small grin escaped from her lips, "Yeah, see ya around."

Paul held her gaze for a moment before turning round and heading towards his locker room. He really didn't want to screw this up. This may be his only chance for a proper push and getting close to the youngest McMahon was a good start. He was excited for what the future held for his career. But little did he know that this woman would change his life forever.
