Merry Christmas to anubislover! This is a fanfic for her challenge list, on which was an Undertaker/Ashley romance. This one's very short, set right when she comes back to the WWE, whilst Taker is in the midst of his Brothers of Destruction return storyline.

Ashley smiled as she walked backstage, beaming from her victory in her return match. She stopped against a wall near the monitors, where the men watching the matches were, to catch her breath. Finally able to breathe well again, she looked at the people sitting there. Vince McMahon sat with his son, Shane, since they were there for that show that night. They'd be back to RAW the next day. Next to them was someone she hadn't expected. "Mark? What're you doing back here?"
The dark-haired man grinned. "Am I not welcome, Massaro?"
The blond opened and closed her mouth a couple times, trying to think of a response.
Mark laughed. "Kidding, Ashley." He stood and put an arm over her shoulders. "C'mon, girly, let's talk about your match."
She put her shoulders back and started walking toward the locker rooms, but the man turned her down an empty corridor. "What's up, Mark?"
He smiled and stopped walking when they were out of sight of any prying eyes. "You did good out there, kid."
She smiled, blushing a bit. "Thanks," she said, putting a hand up to fidget with one of her lip piercings. "You never told me why you were back here. You're out until Unforgiven."
He nodded. "I know that. I wanted to see you."
THe blond tilted her head. "Why's that?"
Mark smiled. "Hm, I wonder. What would make me want to come see a pretty girl?"
Ashley laughed. "Pretty? Please. So you came back just to see me?"
He stepped toward her. "Yeah. Just to see you." He put a hand on her cheek lightly and pressed his lips to her.
After a few moments, the girl leaned back a bit, then rested her head on his shoulder with a smile. "I was hoping you'd be here."
Mark chuckled, wrapping his arms around her. "I had to be here to see my Punk return."
Cute little one-shot. I will continue this one, like the others, if it's requested. Reviews please!
