Jeff smirked, watching over the tape. Jesus, how obvious did it have to get for people to see it? Jeff was down when it happened, but looking over the tape, Chris yet again just proved his point. The point remained unseen by everyone else, however.
"Chris, you idiot, stop falling for her." he mumbled, under his breath. Jeff knew his best friend all too well. He didn't notice it for awhile, well, pretended not too anyway, but it was becoming painfully obvious as the weeks wore on. Chris has never ever gone through so much trouble to piss off someone. No one. Not even his now friend once enemy Benoit.
He watched it again, looking like he was thinking. From what he could understand, Chris wasn't really very average. His mentality, though a lot more stable then some, was a bit off. Moreover, he had no idea how to approach woman, even with his good looks. Actually, he downright sucked at it. He was proving it with Stephanie, whom he continued to pretend to hate. Jeff knew better.
The signs were clear. He was acting as bad as he was with Chyna. Teasing, taunting..all the while gaining the attention of her, though in a negative light. It was all for attention. Jeff understood that was what Chris fed off of. He knew his friend all ready got that if he didn't make fun of Stephanie, he wouldn't exist to her. However, at his current rate, he was now probably the only thing she had on her mind, even if it was because she wanted to kill him.
Jeff never bothered asking Chris about it, though. He knew he would just quickly shoot down the idea. He was stubborn, very stubborn. However, Jeff knew it when he saw it, and that was when he started getting the idea.
Perhaps it had been because he got hit in the head too many times, perhaps not. But Jeff had started thinking..Stephanie was brainwashed by everyone's favorite chubby announcer Paul E. Heyman, right? Well, Chris would be able to easily snap her out of it. Without her, Paul would surely crumble. The WWF would win. No more Invasion, Paul will forever be out of there.
The thing was, Stephanie and Chris couldn't stand in a room for a second without totally ripping each other apart verbally. The chances of them helping each other was slim to non-existant. That was the second part of his plan, his brilliant brilliant scheme.
And he needed his brother and Lita's help, too.
"So let me get this straight, Jeff," Matt replied cautiously, regarding his brother like he thought he had jumped from too many laters. "You want us.." He motioned to himself and Lita. "To help you get Chris Jericho and Stephanie McMahon to the cabin we own?"
"Yep." Jeff confirmed. Both Matt and Lita looked at each other.
"And..um..why should we do that?" Lita questioned, speaking up for Matt.
"Because they like each other." Jeff nodded, sounding so confident, like it was the most obvious thing in the entire world. The two looked at each other again, then simultaneously began to laugh hysterically. Jeff kept his deadpan look as the two managed to calm their giggles.
"Jeff, are you crazy?" Matt asked, a grin still on his face. "I don't know if I was seeing things, but I think I've seen Chris totally humilate her for the last..what..3 weeks? 2?"
"Exactly my point." he nodded, again getting 'What the hell is he on?' stares. "Listen, Matt, Lita, you know Chris. When it comes to girls, he's an idiot. And you both know Stephanie wouldn't give him the light of day if he wasn't mean to her.."
"Jeff, you're talking crazy here." Lita said, softly. "Chris absolutely hates her. He's sad it a million times, or have *I* started hearing things?"
"He's stubborn." Jeff shrugged. "Listen, I know him, he totally likes her. This is a great idea." Matt and Lita both paused, but Matt was the one that spoke up first.
"All right, little brother, I'll humor you. Say I actually go along with this," Matt started, eyeing Jeff cautiously. "What would sticking them in the cabin do? They'll just reck the place."
"I don't think it'd get that bad." Jeff responded.
"All right, question two." Matt replied. "Why do you care so much that they get together?"
"Matt, if Chris and Steph finally let their feelings come out, Chris will be able to get to her, get her back on the right thinking path. You know she's being controlled by Paul. Chris could break the spell, so to say.." Jeff grinned. "And without Stephanie, Paul's whole company will colapse. Shane can't pay for both, after all."
"Which means no more Invasion." Matt finally understood. Jeff nodded, proudly.
"And then there's the problem of Triple H--"
"Where's the problem? She was drugged into marrying him. She really doesn't have too much ties if you ask me." Jeff said simply.
"The idea's all well and good, Jeff," Lita finally spoke up. "And I could easily get Chris up there..but how about Stephanie? I doubt she would trust us when we go up to and say 'Hey Steph, why don't we go to a cabin where no one's around?'."
"That's the brilliant part." Jeff was in one of his confident moods that day, obviously. He looked at the two, a triumph grin on his face. "We have a friend in the Alliance." A look of dispair crossed Matt's face.
"You don't mean Shane do you?" he asked.
"Hurricane." Jeff corrected. Matt rolled his eyes.
"Ooh no." Matt shook his head. "No way. Are you nuts, Jeff? He hates us now."
"You know he doesn't." Jeff smirked. "He's only going along with the Invasion thing because he needs a job. He's still one of us."
"I don't know.."
"Don't you want this thing to end? Don't you both?" Jeff looked at the two. "Trust me."
"The last time you said that you got us all into trouble." Matt mumbled. "But fine..at least I'll go along with this insane idea. I tell you, when Chris finds out, I'm blaming it all on you."
"I guess I'll help." Lita sighed. "I can't believe I just said that. You better be right about this, Jeff."
"When am I not?" he quieted at the looks they gave him. "Um..don't answer that."
"Let's find Shane." Matt rolled his eyes, standing.
"Hurricane." Jeff corrected again.
"Shaddup." Matt mumbled.
****
"What the hell are--" Shane let out a strangled yelp when Matt rushed him against the wall, clamping his mouth shut.
"Is that really necessary, Matt?" Jeff rolled his eyes.
"I didn't want him to scream," Matt replied matter-of-factly.
"Let him go."
"Whatever." Matt released his grip and Shane let out a breath. His eyes glanced at the three that had invaded his locker room.
"Jesus, Matt, you're still as violent as you were when we were kids." Shane rubbed his neck, which was also pinned to the wall.
"Who thought of that corny Hurricane name?" Jeff grinned.
"Don't mess with the nickname." he replied, smirking. "So, before you get caught in my locker room, do you mind explaining..why you're in my locker room?"
"We need to ask a favor of you." Jeff explained.
"A favor, huh?" he grinned, broadly. "I'm listening."
"We want you to kidnap Stephanie." Matt said bluntly. Shane looked at the three, blinking.
"And why would I want to do that?" he questioned, smirking.
"Because we're going to lock her in a cabin with Chris Jericho." Shane looked at them like they had all grown two heads.
"So you want to torture her?" he questioned, crossing his arms over his chest.
"No, we want to get them together." Jeff explained. "Come on, Shane, how can you not see the sexual tension?"
"I see tension, but I'm not so sure it's sexual.." Shane trailed off.
"Will you help us or not?" Lita asked impatiently.
"Why should I?" he asked, slouching against the wall he was previously pinned against.
"If all goes through, Invasion will be finished." Jeff stated.
"What do you mean?" He sounded interested.
"Well, you know how almost everyone is brainwashed here..besides you and a few others, of course.." Jeff pointed out. Shane nodded. "Well, so is Stephanie. However, Chris might be the only one able to break her out of it. I know Chris, he really DOES care about her.."
"Interesting way of showing it.." Shane smirked.
"Chris isn't very good with emotions." Lita interjected. Jeff smiled at her, she seemed to be slowly believing him. "Listen, Shane, we need your help. Please."
Shane paused, seeming to be thinking. "..All right." he finally responded. "Can't let a lovely lady down." He winked at Lita.
"Great!" Jeff replied, upbeat. "Let's start planning." The three nodded, though Jeff knew each of them weren't exactly as sure as he was.
"Chris, you idiot, stop falling for her." he mumbled, under his breath. Jeff knew his best friend all too well. He didn't notice it for awhile, well, pretended not too anyway, but it was becoming painfully obvious as the weeks wore on. Chris has never ever gone through so much trouble to piss off someone.
