Author's Note
As I write this it's 11:16, April 3,2002.(lol,whenever I post this) this is it,folks! Everything that you've been reading about,reviewing and hoping for has finally reached it's peak,and after 24 chapters, I'm ending "Truly Electrifying".
I just have to tell all of you how amazed I am that it's gone this far! 219 reviews(and counting),24 chapters and so many new friends, it's meant a lot to me.
You may not know this,other than Jessica, but I didn't even expect it to be 25 chapters, I thought chap 15 or something would be it,and when I discovered that there was more story in me to tell, it went forward,and I put the limit on 21 chaps,but then there was more story to be written and now it's come here.
Even when I had started writing the first 6 chapters in my notebook, I never imagined the ending. I never imagined that after Dany finding out that Adam would enter the story,then Ronda's past with Hunter would be created,then the pregnancy and Ronda's death. I had initially thought that after Dany found out, R&R's confrontation would end in something like "I found out what Dany did,and I couldn't believe what kind of woman I've married,so I filed for a divorce." or some fluffy crap like that, then BAM! Story over,right?
but then I discovered how much I liked making R&R argue, the different elements of having to choose between Adam,Hunter and Dwayne and how the reviews would be divided in favor of which man they wanted ronda to be with. Sorry all you Ronda/Adam fans! After Hunter came back I just didn't have anything more to say about them,but then some of the R&A fans turned into R&H fans after 'the t-shirt' lol.
My original plan was to have Steph actually be in DJ's bed when Ronda and Chris walked in...now THAT woulda been a hard one to explain!
But anyways, I guess the one thing I can say about all of you is that you all knew that this was a blatant self-inserter and ya didn't care,I appreciate that,lol.
~*One last thank you to the reviewers.*~

When Ronda woke up the next day for Smackdown she was reminded of the conversation with Stephanie the night before and got a slight headache thinking about everything that'd happened. Rubbing her forehead lightly,she swung her legs around,got up,and got in the shower. She was gonna be on a mission that day.
Walking inside the arena there were agents and wrestlers all around,but she couldn't see the one she was looking for. Making her way down the hall into where the locker rooms were,she saw Adam walking the opposite way from her and called out to him.
"Edge!" he stopped and turned around as Ronda jogged over to him. "Have you seen DJ?"
"No. I know he has a match tonight but I haven't seen him."
"Oh,ok. Well,how are you anyways?"
"Good. Very good actually,Barbara and I got back together."
"Are you serious? Oh my God,that's so good!" she said,hugging him. "Alrighty then,I'll see ya later."
"Okay," he responded smiling,then left. Ronda kept walking around looking for Dwayne,but no one knew where he was.
"What the hell kinda place is this?" she said in frustration to no one in particular, "The company's most famous and popular superstar,and no one knows where the hell he is!"
"Has anyone ever told you it's not good to talk to yourself?" Ronda jumped and turned around.
"Don't DO that,Hunter!"
"Geez,sorry. So,why are you looking for the most famous and popular superstar? I'm right here," he said grinning.
"Oh,then I meant that OTHER famous guy,you know, ol' what's his name,The Brick?"
"You mean The Block?"
"No,um,The Brock?"
"The....Rock?"
"Yeah,that's the one!" she said laughing. "But really,have you seen him? I can't find the dude anywhere."
"I saw him,but I don't know where he is. What's the rush?"
"Nothing really,I just really need to talk to him,get some things straightened out."
"Oh,well,good luck finding him. See ya," he said,then turned to walk away.
"Where are you headed?"
"Uh,well,I have to get back to Amy."
"Amy?" Ronda said,raising her eyebrows.
"Yeah,we're kinda...well,I don't know. I like her,she likes me and we're just seeing where it goes."
"Ohhh,reeeally?" she started,then pouted angrily. "I should be upset that you're moving on so quickly after we almost got married."
"Ronda-"
"I said 'I should be', but I'm not. I'm happy for you and Aimes,and even though she's my friend,if she breaks your heart,I'll break her face."
"Threats of violence," Hunter said,clutching his heart, "You really DO love me!" they laughed.
"Well, I mean it,y'know? But,Hunter like I said,she's my friend,so that goes for you,too."
"You'll break my face?"
"Well..." she looked him over, "Maybe just your nose." she said,grinning broadly.
"You're lucky I know that you're kidding," he said,leaning forward and placing a kiss on her forehead. He lifted up her chin so that they were eye to eye. "Go find him,Ronda. If ya smell what The Brick is blocking," Ronda burst out laughing.
"I like that,that's original, you should talk to Vince about that."
"Hmm,maybe I will."
"And if you do, you better tell him I helped, dammit."
"Ok,see you later."
"You,too." she said,as they both went their separate ways.
It was starting to get late,and Ronda figured that she'd just stop searching and wait for Rocky's match to come up and catch him after the show. She saw Kurt and decided that he might know where he was since they were pretty good friends.
"Kurtie,you seen DJ?"
"Yeah,actually, I saw him before he left to go to the gym."
"Great,that's just...super."
"He should be back in an hour or so." she sighed.
"Thanks anyway,Kurt." she said,then decided to chill before the show in the girls locker room. Before she knew it, more than an hour and a half had passed and talking with her girl friends had made her lose track of time,so she looked up at the clock,told the girls she'd be back,and left. When she'd made her way down to the men's locker room she saw Andrew leaving,but he stopped and turned around when he'd heard someone call him. Ronda knew that voice. She'd finally found who she who she was looking for.
After Test left,she walked up to the door hesitantly. She knew what she had to do,but she was scared out of her mind. Opening the door slowly,she prayed that no one else was in there and made her way inside. The door shut behind her,causing Dwayne to look up at her.
The hurt in his eyes was evident as he stood in his Rock gear as Ronda was silently freaking out. Her heart was beating so loud and fast she was certain it echoed around the room,and that he could see her heart beating from her shirt,but at least they were alone.
She silently thanked God that there was a small chest full of water surrounded by ice,since her mouth had gone dry. She twisted off the cap and turned her back to him so he didn't see how her hands were shaking. After drinking a few swigs,she licked her lips and turned around. There was no going back now.
"I've been looking for you all day,y'know. Almost thought you weren't here for a minute. And we really need to talk,y'know?" she paused,choosing her words carefully. "I know that...what I did with Chris was really shitty and it was low of me to get revenge,but I just wanted to apologize so...I'm sorry,ok? I'm sorry for everything,but it all just happened so fast and..." she stopped. The silence in the room was deafening and it was killing her.
"Just say something! Scream at me, tell me how much of a slut I am, tell me how much you hate me! Throw me against the wall,just say something because this silent treatment thing, I just can't take it!" Ronda's voice was starting to shake and she struggled to keep away the tears that were threatening to pour from her eyes. She was about to give up and leave,since it was obvious that she'd fucked up so bad that there was no going back.
"I forgive you." Dwayne said suddenly in a low voice,avoiding her gaze.
"You...you do?"
"I was hurt when I saw that you'd slept with Chris,and it took a lot for me not to let my temper take control. But you thought that Steph and I had betrayed both of you,so you just wanted to get back at us. It wasn't the best thing to do but...I understand it,so I forgive you." Before Ronda knew where her legs were carrying her,she ran over and threw her arms around him.
"Thank you,thank you so much! God, if you hated me, I don't know what I'd do." He wrapped and arm weakly around her,patting her back lightly.
"I could never hate you Ronda,I love you too much."
"DJ-"
"And you may not wanna hear it,but it's true." He said, and started to walk towards the door,since it was almost time for his match.
"Well,that's good,since I came back here to tell you that I love you,too." Rocky froze in place,then turned around to stare at her.
"Say that again?"
"I said, I love you." He walked back over to her,cupping her face in his hands.
"Say it again." He said, not believing that he was finally hearing the words he wanted to hear from her for so long.
"I love you."
"Again."
"I love you. I love you,I love you, I love you." She said smiling as he kissed her. The kiss was like a release for the both of them. All stress melted away,all doubts and fears were gone,time stopped around them,hell,the world could've ended and they wouldn't have noticed or cared. Dwayne reached up Ronda's shirt,looking for the bra claspe. "DJ!"
"What?"
"No! You have a match." He looked up at the clock on the wall,it seemed that time didn't stop after all.
"Oh,shit,the match!" Ronda laughed at him as he headed for the door. "Oh,Ronda,one more thing."
"What?" she asked,walking over to him.
"Love you." *kiss*
"Love you." *kiss*
"Love you." *kiss*
"Love you." *kiss* "GO! I'll be back here,I'm not going anywhere." He smiled-cheesed is more like it-then left. Ronda stayed in the empty men's locker room for a minute,then started jumping up and down and dancing all around the room. "Ohmygod,Ohmygod,I've gotta tell somebody!" She then decided to tell the one person she knew would be happy for her-Stephanie. She left the room quickly,making sure no one was around to ask questions,then ran down to then end of the hall to Steph's dressing room. When she made it,she placed a hand on the doorknob,then noticed it was locked. Ronda was about to knock on the door when she heard a faint voice coming from inside.
"Chris,OH!" Ronda went stiff,walked away from the door,then smiled. 'At least they got back together,' she thought,deciding to go and find Albert instead.
-*-
After his match ended, Dwayne made his way to the back,but instead of finding Ronda immediately he went into the men's locker room and got on his cell phone. Dialing the number,he put the phone to his ear,waiting for the person on the other line to pick up.
"Hey,it's Dwayne...yeah, I need to get things sped up,maybe I could go out of the country to,like....yeah,that's perfect. Yeah, I'll leave tonight. Ok,talk to you in the morning." he said,hanging up. He made one last phone call, and hopped in the shower. When he was done,he grabbed his bag and swung open the door to see Ronda there with her hand raised,folded into a fist as she was about to knock on the door.
"Well, at least I don't have to search for you again." she said.
"If I asked you to leave with me,would you come?"
"What?"
"If I had to leave and I wanted you to go with me, would you come?" she stared at him,opened mouthed for a few seconds until she smiled brightly.
"Yes."
"You got your things?" he asked.
"Yeah," she said, gesturing towards the bag she'd sat on the floor.
"Good. Let's go. Got your passport?" he asked.
"Yeah." she answered, as he threw her bag over his shoulder and they headed for the parking lot. When they got out to the car, Dwayne went around to the back and put their things in the trunk, then climbed into the seat next to Ronda and started up the car.
"DJ? Where are we going?"
"Don't worry," he said smiling, "It'll be truly electrifying."
"Truly electrifying?" she said laughing and rolled her eyes, "Whaaaatever."
A/N-Well, that's it people! I personally think it's the worst chap of all, but it's hard to end things, yanno? Especially with the fact that,as I said before, I had no idea how it was going to end. So if ya think it sucks, don't tell me, I'm schensitive. *pouts*
This was originally gonna be longer, and have a bit of a different ending which would set up for the sequel. Well, that's if anyone wants a sequel, but I'll have to come up with the ending first this time! lol
Oh,yeah, there's gonna be an alternate ending,too,just in case this one is so horrible that you need to read something else,lol.
*throws candy to the reviewers*
