The once glorious, now diminishing mansion in Atlanta stood as a combination of highlight and shadows amid the rising sun. Inside, Ten Turner stood behind his desk in his office, facing the other side. A girl stood between the two messenger guards on each side of the door.

"Go to him now, you must bring him back at all costs." Ted was saying as the girl stared at the floor and looked up as he continued. "You know what you have to do now, please…" She sighed and nodded to herself, leaving. "Follow her." The two dark suited men nodded and closed the door behind them. Ted looked out the window as the girl ran off down the long circular driveway. "And now we shall see, what is next to do…."

The WWE had come for a house show in Atlanta that Friday. Chris Jericho was working out at the gym, they had a field for running and playing sports, but Jericho wasn't running by choice, it was an act of defense.

"Hey cut it out!" Jericho jumped out of the way of one of the dark suited men. "What the hell is going on?"

"Hey, Chris!" A voice called from back.

"Wait up for us!" Another was heard and Edge and Christian came panting out from between some trees.

"No, you learn to keep up!" Jericho growled between pants until finally he stopped and realized that the two men were gone. Edge and Christian finally caught up, falling to their knees as Jericho smirked to himself, "You mutts." But he looked up, something was strange about all this but he shook it off, "Go cool off, there's a stream over there, get something to drink and then we'll continue."

"Thanks." Christian rolled his eyes as he and Edge got up.

"Well, well, well, you're as stubborn and persistent as ever." The feminine voice caused Jericho to turn.

"Whose that!"

A young girl, about 18 jumped out from the bushes, "It's been a while, eh Chris?"

Jericho blinked, "Who, are you?"

"What are you talking about, who am I, could you possibly not remember?" Her only reply was a blink. She sighed, "My name is Ashley. Ashley Marie Turner." Jericho frowned at the last name as Ashley sighed, "I see you recall that at least…"

"But not, an Ashley Marie I'm afraid… are you, his…"

"Daughter? Yes."

"Ted had a kid?" Edge whispered to Christian who just shrugged.

"So what's up then, why are you here?"

"I may be many years removed, but I've come back from the Power Plant, WCW's old training ground."

"Yea, I know what that is."

"So how could you not remember?"

"Remember what!" Jericho was loosing patience.

Ashley took back, "You are… I'm to be, your wife."

"Dah…." Jericho's jaw hit the ground as his face went blank. "Excuse me…?"

"You don't remember at all do you!"

"Look kid listen, not only do I have a wife, but I've got a one year old son!"

"But, you promised."

"Huh…?" Jericho watched as the eyes shook with a sorrow you find in a lost child, and he began to feel bad.

"So let me get this strait, Chris is engaged to be wed…. to Ted Turner's daughter?" Edge looked at Christian.

"This is all confusing news to me…"

"How could you not remember something so… important." Ashley turned her back.

"Well I just did ok, look I'm sorry."

"Yes, you are." She growled and ran at him, clinging to his arm.

"Hey, let go!"

"No, I won't let you escape, I have to bring you back at all costs!"

"No, stop!" Jericho pulled. "You're gonna make me, ah!"

"Ah!" Ashley fell on top of him as he tripped over the sidewalk. He jerked free. "No!"

"Hey wait, stop!" Jericho gasped as the two men in suits grabbed onto him.

"You, what are you guys doing here…?" Ashley froze and the men looked at her. "My father sent you…" Her eyes shook with rage, Jericho blinked at her, confused.

"Why are you, what is…. Going on?"

"You promised." Ashley's small mouth frowned again. "On the night of the lunar eclipse."

"Eclipse?" Jericho began to think. "I've never seen an eclipse at night, only during the day… and even then…" He racked his memory as Ashley flashed back with the reminder:

It was eight years ago, it was a dark day with clouds in the sky, it was just outside the gates of the Power Plant. A gruff voice was heard, followed by the panting of a small girl, ten year old Ashley was running off through the wood area outside the Atlanta training ground. She was fearful as she ran, she was small but she wore somewhat of a wanna be wrestling attire, a largely build man was chasing after her, most likely one of Turner's employees.

"I'll get you, come back here! Your father's gonna pay for this." He growled and stopped in a clearing, looking around. "Now, where did you go…" Behind him, Ashley was hiding behind a tree among some tall bushes. She gasped as she heard a twig snap. "Aha!" He pushed through the tall grass and she screamed, tears in her eyes.

"Hey!"

"Hu? Ah!"

The man fell to the dirt as a 25 year old Chris Jericho jumped into the light, knocking him down with one punch. He cracked his knuckles as he looked down, looming over the attacker. Ashley was in awe of this new man, he seemed to be radiating before her very eyes. She gasped and drew back as Jericho reached out one of his hands, smiling warmly.

"You can come on out now, it's ok." She took his hand and he pulled her out. She was dirty and tired so he put her on his back and started back to the Power Plant. "So, you're the boss's daughter, are you not?"

"That's right, I'm Ashley."

"Well Ashley, what were you doing here?"

"I want to train and work hard so I can become a diva and work for my dad."

"Oh is that so? Is that your ring gear?"

"Mhm, yes sir it is." She nodded.

"You're gonna train in that hu, that's pretty cool. I'll bet you'll make a fine superstar one day." That caused her to smile and giggle but she was still very worn and weary. "Ok alright now, just don't over do it alright, and someday, I'll make you my wife Ashley."

She gasped, "You mean it?"

"Sure, once you're old enough to be done with your training and come back down from the grounds." He smiled back at her. Ashley rested her head against Chris's back as he walked.

It was getting late now and they were almost back when Ashley pointed to the night sky, "Hey look!"

"Oh. A lunar eclipse." Jericho was in awe, he smiled as did Ashley as they watched the spectacle take place.

"Dah…." Jericho blinked stupidly, his mouth nearly hitting the floor once again.

"How could you have forgotten?" Ashley frowned, noticeably upset.

"You can't be…. serious?"

"I was only a little girl back then…. but a promise is a promise, even to a child."

"B-but…"

"Those words kept me going through all the hardships! The torment of training, what I had to put up with the other divas, the whole, being the boss's daughter in the locker room, and finally when the company went under and was bought out. I wasn't old enough to work for Shane when that happened so my dream died, but I kept on fighting to try and revive it, and now, now that I have a chance, you say 'no, I'm sorry'…?"

Chris eyed his watch from out of the corner of his eye, "Listen Ashley, I am sorry, but I gotta go." He ran off.

"Hey wait for us!" Edge and Christian groaned, running off after him again.

Ashley just stood there and sighed, she walked over to the stream and sat on one of the rocks on the side, kicking the water with one of her feet as the two men came over to her, "Don't worry, we'll get him. We can't go back without him, and I won't let him down. We'll try again." The men walked off as she sighed, looking up at the sky as she spoke aloud to herself, "No Chris, I'M sorry, sorry I ever kept those words close to my heart, sorry that I came back here looking for you, sorry that…. that I ever LOVED YOU!"
