Gone With the Wrestling Ring
Genre: Parody/Romance
Summary: AU. A story based loosely on Gone with the Wind, more so the movie than the book. This is going to be a Jericho/Steph fic, and a semi HHH/Lita fic, so if you don't like those, then this isn't the story for you.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything in the WWE (ugh), even if I would love to have Jericho, but that's another story for another day. I also do not own the rights to Gone with the Wind, the book or the movie, so please don't sue me (you wouldn't get anything anyway)
Rating: PG-13, plot content
Authors Note: If you haven't read or seen GWTW I suggest you do, it's a great book, and an awesome movie.
Please R/R!
Stephanie McMahon was not beautiful, but she held a certain charm, which made men want to do everything for her, and she let them. After all, she was a Princess. Stephanie was the daughter of the wealthy Vince McMahon, and his wife Linda. They owned a company called World Wrestling Entertainment. They also had a son named Shane, who was infinitely jealous of Stephanie, because she seemed to be everyone's favorite, while he had to struggle to get noticed.
On this particular day, Stephanie was sitting outside her Greenwich mansion, talking with Edge and Christian, with the both of them trying to get her affections.
"Ratings, ratings, ratings, that's all anybody talks about anymore, I'm sick of talking about ratings," Stephanie whined.
"But don't you want us to win in the ratings? It'll totally reek of awesomeness," Edge said.
"If you mention ratings one more time, I'll stop talking to you, and go into the house," Steph retorted.
"We're sorry Steph, we won't mention it again, let's talk about more interesting things."
"Yes more interesting things, I want to think about RAW tomorrow, it'll be fantastic," Steph said.
"And you have to promise to accompany me to the ring, and then Edge, and then me, and so on," Christian said.
"Well, I would, if I wasn't already accompanying Austin to the ring," Steph replied coyly.
"If we tell you a secret then will you accompany us?" Edge asked.
"It depends, who's the secret about?"
"It's about HHH," Stephanie waited with baited breath for the secret, desperately wanting to know what it was, "He's going to marry Lita, and they're going to announce it tomorrow at Raw."
Stephanie froze, and she swore that her heart had skipped a beat. "How could this be true, Hunter loves me, and only me. He can't marry Lita, not when I'm the one he wants. I can't let this happen," she thought.
Without Stephanie realizing it, she had walked away from Edge and Christian, who left bewildered by Steph's strange behavior after telling her their secret. Oh well, now she would accompany them to the ring.
Stephanie wandered around her family's vast property, waiting for her father to come home from the office. She was still thinking about the news that she had heard earlier, not wanting to believe it was true. She had been in love with Hunter since he had started with the company, and she knew that he was the only one for her. She watched him rise through the ranks of the company, and she was so proud of him. And he had always treated her like she was the only girl he cared about, with respect and loyalty. And now he was marrying Lita, of all people Lita, that stomach- baring, thong-wearing, goody two shoes. Stephanie was filled with anger. And it was like this that Vince happened upon his daughter.
"Stephanie what's wrong? You look like you just lost your best friend," Vince said.
"It's nothing, Daddy, I was just thinking, how was the office?"
"It was the office, same old, same old."
"Did you happen to see anyone while you were there?"
"Oh yes, HHH came for a meeting, and I have it in the strictest confidence that he and Lita are getting hitched, they're going to announce it tomorrow at RAW."
"I don't know what he sees in her!"
"Stephanie, what's gotten into you, HHH hasn't been making any passes at you has he?" Vince said with a hint of anger in his voice.
"No, no he hasn't Daddy."
"It's a good thing too. The two of you, you aren't right for each other, you'd never be happy together, you'd just fight for power all the time."
"I don't care Daddy, he's what I want."
"What about the WWE? Don't you want that?"
"The company doesn't mean anything to me."
"Stephanie, don't say things like that. Wrestling is in your blood. And when I'm gone I'm going to leave the company to you, and you'll see it flourish, just like I did. You'll love it too."
~Later that evening~
Stephanie was sitting in her bedroom thinking about the next day and what it would bring, and most importantly a way not to let the engagement of HHH and Lita happen.
"Hunter doesn't know that I love him, if I tell him I love him, then he can't marry Lita. Yes, that's what I'll do, I'll tell him at RAW, and he'll understand," Steph said with determination.
And with that thought in mind, Stephanie drifted off to sleep thinking about the next day, and what was to come.
Like it, hate it, just review it. Thanks.
