He was pissed. Since an hour he sits here at a media-store and sign autographs for people who couldn't speak english. Okay, he is in austria, they speak german here, but a simple "Thank you!" would be far enough.

What him depress even more, he have to sign the typical WWE autograph maps, not only one brought a belt or a poster or something else that he and Melina who joined him today could sign.

Finally the crowd was almost finished and feeded with autographs, a young woman with a copy of "A Lion's Tale" in her hands came into the store, and catches Chris' attention. A smile came over Chris' face. The first one this day. He always was nice to the fans, take photos and sign everything they brought with them, but today was a depressing.

He watched the young woman intensely as she walk by the security.

"You got a ticket?", the guy ask, who look like a mixture of Kane and The Great Khali, in the worst way somebody could think.

"A ticket? What? No, I… why a ticket?", the young woman ask back. She got a confused look on her face and doesn't really know what's going on. "Since when do I need a ticket for a autograph - signing?"

Chris wondered. The first time today, somebody speaks englisch. Okay, she got a little german accent, but if he's honest, he like it.

"If you haven't a ticket, I can't let you in young miss."

"Oh please.", she holds Chris' book up, "please do a Chris Jericho - fan a little favor."

The 6'2 high grizzly looked down at her and still shook his head. "No ticket, no Jericho. I'm sorry!"

While Chris sign the next autograph map, he still watches the conversation of the young woman with the security. He can't take his eyes off of her.

"See mister security, I drove 3 hours to see the show tonight. I just heard today there's a signing.", she explained calmly, but inside her, it burns. If she only could, she would give the guy a hard low blow, that he could never ever forget and with that his wishes for children.

The guy who call himself a security don't show any kind of emotion or compassion. "I'm pretty sorry for you, but we got our instructions!" His voice get rough now.

In that very moment, Chris felt how the heart of that young woman broke. He saw the sadness in her face, she would cry if she's gone, he could tell. He doesn't could do this. As she turned on her heels, Chris yelled: "Pete, it's okay, Let her in!"

The woman looks over her shoulder and a huge question mark turn over her head. Chris Jericho care about a fan? He did hear her conversation?

"You heard him, come in!", the security call her back.

She smiled shyly and make her way to the table, where Chris and Melina were sitting and signing autographs.

*************************************************************************************************************

Just a few inches she was away from her big idol, her role model. She was no mark anymore for sure, she know how the wrestlers make bleed themselves or how some of the moves work.

But she love the show since she could think by herself. And Chris Jericho was always her hero. From the first day she saw him in WCW. Her heart broke as he left the WWE and she was on cloud No. 7 as he returned in late 2007. And today, in just a few minutes, she'll meet him for the first time. She never saw him wrestle live, RAW - shows never come to austria, but now after he's drafted to Smackdown! it's her big chance. She already saw The Undertaker or Triple H, but today will be big. It have to.

She is unusually cool and relaxed she thought by herself. Three people are still in front of her until she get to the signing-table. They don't even say "Thanks!" how rude it that, she said to herself.

Only one guy is left and now her heart begin to pulse. All the coolness is gone. "What the hell should I say?", she ask herself. She don't thought about it. Well sure she did, often times, night after night, during the work day after day, but now there's a huge black nothing inside her head. Blackout. Her hands began to sweat now. Her head feel like it would explode every moment. She knew she looks like a big red tomato and that embarass her.

After the guy in front of her left, she knew, the most important moment in her life has come.

She took a step forward. He looked great, his steelblue eyes shine bright and his smile he gave her is just adorable.

She reaches out her hand. "Hey Chris. It's a honor to meet you!", she opens their conversation in a calm and almost quiet voice. He smiles at her and lay his hand in hers. "Hey, it's a pleasure to me."

For a long moment they just look at each other, still shaking hands. Neither of them knew what to say until she broke the silence. "I'm a big fan.", she said. Wow, what a great beginning of a little chat, she thought and could slap herself. How often did he heard that already? She's so stupid!

"That's nice to hear. Still?", he ask charming. She nodded.

"Still. From day one. I loved the feud you got against Shawn Michaels last year. My granny always sided with HBK, but like I said, if you're a Jerichoholic once you'll stay it 'til the end."

He gave her a grin. "Thanks a lot. We did our best to make it real as possible."

She nodded again. "It really was. I always thought the hit on HBK's wife was scripted until I read it wasn't planned. You do a great job as a Heel."

In one of the most unfitting moments ever, the security comes over. "Chris, we're much over time." She could kill him for that and now she was sure: Godzilla don't like her. That guy ruined the greatest day of her life, damn it!

"You just have to wait a minute okay?", Chris snarled , "I'm talking to a fan."

He smiled gently and apologized: "I'm so sorry for him, sometimes he think he's our boss. But everyone knows that there's only one King of the World!"

It make her smile, it's a long time she heard that from him. And she could tell that he just said it for her. "It's okay. I also can handle him, I don't got a problem with it."

Both laughed and she felt some kind of connection between them.

"So, before you have to go, could you sign your book for me?", she ask him and laid the book on the table between them.

"Sure, what's your name?"

"Christina."

Chris looked in her eyes and saw the shyness in them. She couldn't see in his eyes, always look on the ground even if she try to look up.

"Nice name.", he said back as he signed.

Her eyes widened and she blushed, if she don't already has. "Thank you.", she answered almost huskily, trying to find words. She was stunned by the charm and kindness Chris showed. She felt so different while she looked at him. He is exactly like she thought he would be. He's so kind and unbelievable lovely. He cut the security for her and take time... just for her. A never known feeling comes over her.

"You're on the show tonight?", he asked, closed the book and handed it to her. In that moment, their hands touched each other and it felt like a lightning that stroke her. Hell, what was that?

Deeply touched by the contact she nodded. "Yeah I am. And I'm pretty excited about it."

He joked. "Wow, for god's sake, even one last remaining Jerichoholic!"

"And be sure Chris, even if you call the people hypocrites and parasites or whatever you call them so passionately, I will always stand by your side, cheer for you and want you to win."; she said honestly.

Chris looked at her for a moment and don't really know what feeling overwhelmed him right now. It was such a warm and lovable feeling that was so foreign to him, he thought by himself. What she said just moments ago, catches his breatch and also maybe his heart.

"Chris, we really have to go now.", Godzilla said with pressure in his voice now and shook Chris out of his thoughts.

He nodded. "Just one minute okay?"

Godzilla was annoyed now. "Chris!"

Melina saw the look in Chris' eyes. She don't know what it was, but she saw something, something she never saw before. His eyes glittering even more, the steelblue turns so much brighter, it was so new to her. Now she knew what it was. She stood up and whispered to Pete:

"Give him this minute."

"But…"

"Shut up! Chris, we wait outside okay?", she said and pressed Pete out of the store.

"Mhm." Chris murmeled and tried to find some words to say Goodbye to Christina.

"So, you heard it, I don't want to but I have to go.", he said quietly. He want to stay. He would give his life for it. He like that young woman, very much if he's honest. She is not a usual crazy fan. She saw not the badass in him, she saw not Chris Jericho, when she talk, she talk to Chris Irvine. And he love that. He stood up and went around the table to stand in front of her.

"Yeah, it's time. I… thank you.", she answered him with a sad voice. She looked up to him, she was just 5'0, Chris was a giant to her. She doesn't want him to leave. She want him to stay, stay with her. Maybe until the show tonight starts, and way much longer. She knew he was her soulmate. Only a few words were spoken, but she knew it, she could trust her feelings.

Chris looked down at her and was amazed by the eyes that looked in his. For the first time he was able look deep into them. These green eyes, he will never forget them. So deep, he could lose hisself in them, he almost got the feeling he could look in her soul. She was so innocent, so breakable. Out of emotion, he opened his arms and took her into them.

She was stunned, much more than before. Chris Jericho took her in his arms, his strong protective arms. How often did she thought about this? Can dreams really come true?

She felt protected. She felt safe. And if she got the choice, she would never let him go again. She buried her face in his chest and could taste a scent of the aftershave he use. He also got a good taste she thought and smiled softly.

After a long moment where both just stand there und hugged each other, Chris gently pulled back and smiled at her. "Have fun at the show. My match tonight is just for you.", he said softly.

"Be sure I'll be cheering just for you as well.", she answered and take the book in her hands again, "may I attend you outside?"

"I would love to.", Chris answered and nodded.

As they walked by the van with Melina and Pete already waiting inside, the final Goodbye has come. "Bye Chris, take care tonight."

He take her hands a last time in his. "Also take care. I… I'll see you tonight.", he answered and gently stroke her knuckles, "Bye."

As he enters the car, he waved a last time, until Pete drove away quickly. He sat beside Melina and watched out the window. "She's very nice.", she said, "not like the other fans."

Chris looked down, thought about her and knew exactly what these feelings were. He answered quietly: "She's not a fan. She is something special…"
