Rating: PG13
Pairing: Lita/Cena…kinda…eventually.
Spoilers: I'm pretty much ignoring storylines and making my own so there shouldn't be any spoilers.
Notes: Response to Andonly challenge posted at litafics on LJ. Challenge is: Lita and John don't like each other very much. One night they have a huge argument and in the heat of the moment Lita tells John to drop dead (that's the last thing she says to him). John gets mad and drives off. Later that night he gets involved in a car wreck. He's rushed to hospital and ends up in a coma. Randy calls Lita to tell her because he's told by the hospital staff they don't think he's going to make it.
John "wakes up" in a hotel room and finds Lita coming out of the bathroom. Half naked, with blue hair instead of red and no tattoo. Just when he thinks things can't get any worse she tells him they are married (She drops it in the conversation) and only thinks he's acting weird because he got knocked out in a match last night. In the other universe lots of things are different. Lita and John are heels Lita goes by the name "Amy Cena" in the ring and Edge is a face. John is still the WWE champ. As John doesn't know how he got here or how to get back again, he just goes with the flow and ends up in love with Lita. In that universe John gets involved in a car wreck and ends up in hospital.
When John wakes up he's back in his own universe. He finds Lita there (Randy called her to say John had woken up after being in a coma for two months and she's feeling uber guilty because of the fight) John starts acting weird because he thinks they are married. Lita's all confused. John realises that everything that happened in the AU was just happpened whilst he was in the coma and wasn't real. But as he was so happy he wants to make it a reality. Now whether Lita falls for him at the end is up to you but I'd prefer it.
This is quite a short prologue but the muses started squabbling half way through writing it.
Summery: How can you really tell the difference between dreams and reality?
Prologue.
John Cena shifted the bag he was carrying on his shoulder as he made his way down one of the countless hallways of the latest arena they were in. It had been a long day and the West Newbury native was looking forward to getting back to the hotel and crashing for the night.
He wasn't usually one to complain about hard work but right now his schedule was inhuman and with Cyber Sunday coming up all the extra appearances and being on Smackdown as well as Raw was really starting to wear him out.
The blue eyed champion walked around a corner without paying much attention to where he was going and bumped into a very distracted looking redhead.
"Damn woman, don't ya have eyes to look where you're goin'?"
"Excuse me but I think you'll find you were the one who wasn't looking where they were going."
"Me? You came flying round the corner and almost knocked me on my ass…"
"Ha…don't you think I'm a little bit too small to knock you on anything?"
The redhead was standing in front of him, her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face.
"You sure have a big ass attitude problem for someone so small…walking round here with your damn eyes closed…bumpin' into people…"
"Just wait one damn minute Cena…last time I looked you were the only one round here with an attitude problem…acting like you own the world just cause you're champion and a big 'movie star' now." The redhead made air quotes when she said movie star.
"Jealous are ya? Don't worry, I'm sure you could be in a movie one day too…I've even got the perfect title for it 'Lita does Atlanta' what do ya think?"
The redhead rolled her eyes and began to walk away.
"Ok, if ya don't like that then how about 'Lita does the entire WWE roster'? Oh wait, ya already did that didn't ya?" he smirked.
"Drop dead Cena!"
"You wish…redheaded devil-bitch…" John shouted after her before heading out to his car.
John threw his bag into the back of his car and hopped into the driver's seat. He couldn't get that damn redhead off his mind. Everywhere he went she was always there, annoying the hell out of him, always shooting her big mouth off about something. Women like her were the reason he was glad to be single.
He pulled out of the parking lot and turned the radio on, he sang along to some absurdly loud music as he drove. The roads were fairly quiet as it was so late, he didn't notice the car ahead of him swerving dangerously until it was too late.
The West Newbury native's car was thrown into the air, flipping over 3 times before landing back on the ground. John's world turned black before the car hit the ground.
