A/N: I am aware that I have other stories. Anyways, I watched Fully Loaded 2000 on the network because Chris Jericho vs Triple H in a Last Man Standing match at that PPV is my favorite WWE match ever. Their whole feud leading up to that was fun. I became inspired and wanted to write a story pertaining to that feud. Well - I decided to add my own little spin to it while trying to keep things normal at the same time.

I am super excited about writing an attitude era story! I am going to use kayfabe attitudes and ring names.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is the face claim for Katherine "Katie" Taylor.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything besides the plot and OC.

Everything You Want
Going Home

"Stephanie McMahon, since you like to slap people around so much, since you like to get physical and all that so much… Tonight you're going to have your very first official wrestling match!" Vince McMahon announced it to his daughter, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

Stephanie looked horrified at the bombshell of an announcement her father bestowed upon her. The crowd was going wild because they had been waiting for Stephanie to get her comeuppance.

"Yeah! And you're going to have it in that very ring against the WWF women's champion, Katie Taylor."

Katherine Taylor watched all this interaction take place on the television screen she was standing in front of in the women's dressing room. Katherine had a satisfying smirk appear on her face at the announcement.

Ever since Stephanie aligned herself with her husband, Triple H, and became the biggest bitch in the federation, Katherine wanted nothing more than to get her hands on her. Stephanie and her husband forced Katherine to compete in a pudding match, an evening gown match, and just embarrassing situation after embarrassing situation because they wanted to test Katie's limits to see just how much she desired to be the women's champion. Every single time there was the stipulation that if Katherine didn't compete in her assigned match, she would be stripped of the WWF women's championship.

Katherine managed to swallow her pride and conquer every obstacle the McMahon-Helmsley regime threw her way.

Tonight was definitely going to be bittersweet.

With a smile on her face, Katherine went to her bag to get out her ring attire and change for her match. Nothing could possibly ruin her mood.

'My Time' echoed out through the arena signaling the appearance of Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley along with her husband, the WWF champion, Triple H. The brunette looked apprehensive, but The Game was spewing words of encouragement to his wife during their entrance.

Katie's entrance theme: 'Fly Away' by Lenny Kravitz blared through the PA system and the audience cheered loudly for the WWF women's champion. The blonde came down the entrance ramp wearing a black bralette, black flare pants, and black and white platform sneakers. The women's champion was holding the title onto her right shoulder.

Once Katie entered the ring, the feeling of excitement of getting her hands on Stephanie quickly changed to frustration when she saw X-PAC, Tori, and Road Dogg come to the ring to "show their support" for Stephanie.

Stephanie was stalling the referee even after the bell had been rung. Not wanting to get counted out, the number one contender anxiously entered the ring. Somehow, she still managed to keep the referee stalled.

Katie attempted to run the ropes to take Stephanie down with a lariat, but X-PAC grabbed one of Katie's ankles and plopped Katie face first into the mat.

With the referee still tending to Stephanie, Tori entered the ring and nailed Katie with a Tori-DDT. Katie was plopped on her head with Tori's version of a spike DDT.

Triple H encouraged his wife to go for the pinfall. The referee was baffled at what transpired, but there was not much he could do since he didn't see what happened. He hesitantly counted to three.

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley was now the new WWF women's champion. DX was in the ring celebrating with the new women's champion.

Stephanie would walk into WrestleMania alongside her husband as the women's champion. Triple H and Stephanie: the WWF champion and the WWF women's champion. They were now the ultimate power couple in the federation.

Katie buried her face between her hands and cried in the middle of the ring. Although the audience was chanting her name in their attempt to show their support of the now former women's champion - there was nothing that could be done to cheer her up. Her heart was broken in two.

With her face covered with mascara stained tears, she ran for the hills to backstage area.

She collided into a male chest, but she was so hysterical that she didn't take the time to see who she collided with. Katherine continued running to the women's dressing room.

Chris Jericho, whom Katherine just collided with, watched perplexingly as the former women's champion ran down the hallway, clearly upset over being screwed out of the women's championship. He usually only cared about himself, so it was an odd feeling feeling guilty for some else other than himself.

Shaking the current thoughts out of his mind, he got his mind refocused on his two out of three falls triple threat match that was Sunday at Wrestlemania. The Ayatollah of Rock-N-Rolla would be competing against Kurt Angle and Chris Beniot with both the Intercontinental championship and European championship on the line.

Now dressed in a white sweater crop top, boyfriend jeans, black combat boots, and her blonde hair in a high ponytail, Katherine got ready to leave the arena. She had all her belongings packed up. She felt a tear roll down her cheek when she saw there was no women's championship in her possession.

Everything she fought for now meant nothing. She went through all the degrading matches and moments to stick it to the McMahon-Helmsley regime and show that they couldn't make her go down without a fight, but at the end of the day, they were the ones who stuck it to her.

"Katie - everything is going to be okay," Lita promised, placing a gentle hand on Katie's shoulder.

Katherine shrugged her friend's hand off of her. Lita hadn't been in the federation for long, so she luckily didn't have to endure all the torture of the McMahon-Helmsley regime. Katherine really liked the redhead. She brought something different and unique to the women's division. There was no doubt that Lita was going to be a force to be reckoned with at some point down the road.

"Katie?"

"Li, I can't deal with this anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"This whole Triple H and Stephanie power reign of terror. I had the one thing that gave me some sort of encouragement that I could hang in there, but all that got taken away tonight." The blonde wiped away a stray tear.

"What are you going to do?" Lita inquired.

"Li, I think I'm going to go home."

"You're not going to even try to regain the title?"

Katherine shook her head. "There's no point. Stephanie is always going to have a plan, so why bother?" Katherine gave a sad smile to her redhead friend and proceeded to walk out of the arena into the San Antonio cool night breeze with her belongings in tow.

For the first time - Katie felt like giving up.
