Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do anything at all

And I'm standing here for all the world to see
Oh baby, that's what's left of me
Don't have very far to fall

You know now I'm not a man who's ever been
Insecure about the world I've been living in
I don't break easy, I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied

I'm shameless, oh honey, I don't have a prayer
Every time I see you standin' there
I go down upon my knees

And I'm changing, swore I'd never compromise
Oh, but you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please

You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you

I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly
But it's your world now, I can't refuse
I've never had so much to lose
Oh, I'm shameless

You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I've ever missed
But I've never been in love like this

It's out of my hands

I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
I don't want it anyhow
So I got to let it go

Oh, I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You make a total fool of me
I just wanted to you to know

Oh, I'm shameless, I just wanted you to know
Oh, I'm shameless, Oh, I'm down on my knees... shameless








Andrew sat in the wooden chair as he stared at Stephanie and Shane; They were both sitting on the couch, Shane had his arm around Stephanie's neck and Stephanie had her head on Shane's shoulder, both of them asleep. Andrew sighed, no one had said anything about the near kidnapping, but it was all Andrew could think of.

"Andrew, you should get some sleep." Shane said, yawning.

Andrew perked his body up. "I thought you were sleeping Shane."

Shane shook his head, still holding on to Stephanie. "Not anymore. You're driving yourself insane over this."

Andrew rolled his eyes. "And how exactly am I supposed to feel about this? DDP tried to kidnap Stephanie, Hunter was in on it --- " Andrew started but was cut off by Shane.

"I know we have no reason to believe this, but Stephanie said Hunter protected her. Stephanie said Hunter speared DDP and told her to leave." Shane said, rubbing his face.

"You're right, we have no reason whatsoever to believe that bullshit, Stephanie is out of her mind if she thinks Hunter was trying to protect her, I bet he was in on it, I will be dead before the day I believe Hunter tried to protect Stephanie, not after all the shit he did to her in the first place. I can't believe you would even consider to believe that Hunter has a human heart, that's like saying pigs really do have wings and they fly around the world." Andrew replied, a look of anger on his face.

Shane sighed. "Hey we weren't there, we don't know what happened and just for the record I'm not saying Hunter has a human heart or is an ally of ours, I was just repeating what Stephanie told me. And you don't think I don't know how damn close I was to losing her? Don't you think I want to go kill DDP? Because if you're thinking that then you don't know shit, I'm terrified here okay? I was asleep while that bastard DDP tried to take Stephanie, maybe ... "

"Don't you dare blame yourself." Andrew said, pointing his finger at Shane. "Because I won't allow you to do that, you're a great big brother, I've seen you drive yourself insane when you weren't able to protect her and you shouldn't do that .... "

Shane smirked. "Take your own advice Andrew. Hey I'm going to go have a talk with my dad, if Stephanie wakes up tell her I will be right back." Shane untangled himself away from Stephanie and got off the couch.

"Shane, don't do anything you can't back yourself up on." Andrew said watching Shane walk over to the locker-room door.

"I'll try not to." Shane said, smirking; Shane waved and walked out of the locker-room, leaving Andrew alone with Stephanie.

[ Vince's Office ]

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Shane yelled, bursting through the door of Vince's office.

Vince jumped up, putting his hands up. "Is she okay?" Vince asked, quickly.

"Why would you even care --- " Shane stopped when he saw Hunter sitting in a chair next to Vince. "I'm going to kill you." Shane said, taking a step towards Hunter.

Vince stepped in front of Shane. "Stop! You have no reason to believe us but we're worried about Stephanie."

Shane laughed. "You're right, I don't believe you. Hunter tried to kidnap Stephanie ... "

Hunter jumped up. "No, wait! We were at first, I mean just stalk her, but then I saw DDP grab her and I stopped him."

Shane shook his head. "Why should I believe you?"

Hunter was quiet for a long time until he finally spoke up. "Because I'm done with it okay Shane? I'm done with the attacks, the names, the orders ... I'm done with it all. I went insane, I couldn't deal with losing Stephanie so I lost it, but tonight my eyes opened up to the carnage I have been doing to her, and I don't want to hurt her anymore. I loved her okay? I really did and I screwed up, I have screwed up a lot of things in my life ... I screwed up Chyna's life, ruined her chances in having an easy time dealing with things and I don't want to do that to Stephanie anymore. I'll do anything you want me to do, but I don't want anything to do with Stephanie's pain anymore."

Shane raised his eyebrow. "I have no reason to believe you Hunter, but for some reason I am. Hurt my sister, you are going to die, no doubt about that. I'm giving you my trust, don't screw with it like you do everytime." Shane then stared at his father. "How could you do this to her?"

Vince sighed. "Listen Hunter isn't the only one who wants this to stop; I don't know how I could do this but I know that I don't want to hurt my baby girl anymore ... " Vince started but was cut off by Shane.

"You know, she hates you. You put her through so much ever since her debut in the WWF, she has lost all compassion for you. She used to think you were a righteous man, a man that she would be proud to call her father but all that love and trust she had in you is gone and you don't deserve it anyways." Shane said, pointing a finger at his father.

Vince's eyes dropped, as awful as his son's words were, every single word was true. "I know. But I am still her father and I want to make amends for what we did to her, I can at least try ... "

Shane shook his head. "That's the least you two can do. Andrew is going to kill me when he finds out that I'm actually giving you two a chance, I can't even believe I'm giving you two a chance, especially after what you did to her Hunter, but you did save her from DDP... listen I'll talk to Stephanie, this can only be her decision." Shane turned to leave but then looked at Hunter and Vince. "You two better be worth it." Shane then turned back around and left.

[ Stephanie's locker-room ]

Stephanie tossed and turned on her spot on the couch, her mind lost in a endless nightmare, the image of DDP grabbing her kept flying into her mind, it kept haunting her like a horrible nightmare in repeat. She couldn't see his face because of the black ski mask but deep down in her heart she knew it was him, the hissing in her ear chilled her to the bone and his hold on her seemed never-ending. Stephanie's face scrunched up as she was pushed aside, shock registered in her body when she saw Hunter spear DDP, Hunter then turned to her and told her to leave. Hunter was protecting her, the evil glare he always had for her was suddenly gone and all she could see was that he wanted her safe, something that he hadn't wanted her to be in a long time. Stephanie could feel the scream tug at the back of her throat as she watched DDP give Hunter a diamond cutter, then everything went in a blur as the events replayed in her mind; DDP grabbed a hold of her arm as hard as he could, his fingernails dug into her skin but then he released his grasp as Jericho's voice entered her ears, she watched DDP grab Hunter and the two escaped. Stephanie could feel her body shaking but the outside world didn't seem to exist until Jericho's voice entered her ears, he asked if she was okay and then the next thing Stephanie knew she was being pulled into a hug by Shane and then a few minutes later by Benoit. Everything after that was black, Stephanie whimpered in her sleep as the nightmare begun again but this time it was different; This time Hunter or Jericho never came to her rescue and DDP had drug her to his limo and ...

"Stephanie!" Andrew screamed, pushing Stephanie's body.

Andrew had been watching Stephanie sleep while Shane went to handle his business with his dad, at first Stephanie's slumber had been silent and relaxed but soon it had developed into Stephanie tossing and turning on the couch, her face with a mixture of fear and shock painted on her face. Andrew hadn't decided to wake Stephanie until he had heard the scared whimpers escape her mouth.

Stephanie fluttered her blue eyes open, she blinked them a few times until the image of Andrew's face looming over her body became clear. "Andrew?" Stephanie asked, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"Yeah," Andrew said, sitting down on the couch next to her, he kept staring at her concerned. "Are you okay? You kept whimpering, were you having a nightmare?" Andrew asked.

Stephanie nodded, pushing herself up. "It won't go away, this feels like what Mark did all that time ago all over again, except this time I don't know what DDP's motives are. I'm so scared Andrew, right now it feels too surreal, I mean you don't expect that sort of thing, even though I should because it has happened to me before. I know you don't want to hear this Andrew, but Hunter he protected me."

Andrew shook his head. "Stephanie, obviously you're not thinking straight ... "

Stephanie stood up, her knees were a little shaky at first but then she finally regained her composure. "Andrew, believe me I even had a hard time believing that Hunter would want to protect me since he has being the one making my life like hell, but Hunter speared DDP and then told me to leave, he was trying to protect me."

Andrew stared at Stephanie, a look of doubt embedded in his eyes. "Stephanie ... " Andrew's voice was cut off by Shane.

"Stephanie's right. I just got done talking to my dad and Hunter, and I know we have no reason to believe that Hunter wants Stephanie safe from harm but I believe him. He says he's done with it, done with hurting Stephanie and us, he told me he'll do anything to prove that to us." Shane said, throwing his coat on the floor.

"I can't believe you two actually want to think that Hunter is capable of changing ... " Andrew started but was cut off by Stephanie.

"Didn't I?" Stephanie asked, looking at Andrew.

Andrew sighed. "Fine, we'll give him a chance, but I'll be watching him closely, one little mistake and he's gone, get it?"

"Got it." Stephanie said, smiling. "See I knew you were a reasonable man."

Shane laughed. "Nah, he just got caught in a double standard that's all."

Andrew rolled his eyes. "Hey, be nice, I might change my mind."

[ Vince's office ]

"Dad ... " Stephanie said, walking into Vince's office with The Rock by her side.

"Stephanie, I have been wanting to talk to you." Vince said, starting to stand up, but he sat back down when The Rock brought his hand up.

"Stephanie McMahon has come here to offer you a deal, so shut up and listen." The Rock said, moving aside.

Stephanie smiled and walked up to Vince's desk. "Dad, listen this is clearly business, as you know me and Shane have put our two companies together to make one whole big company, known as WECW. Well my ECW guys are still WWF guys so I need you to sign this contract that confirms that you have distinguished their contracts and that they are free to join the WECW with no legal arguments from you or the rest of the WWF."

"Stephanie, please can't we just talk?" Vince asked, looking at his daughter hopefully.

"Yeah sure, just sign these contracts first. Mick Foley's contract had already been distinguished by you, so there is no need for you to end his contract, but Rhyno, Andrew, Justin, Tazz, The Dudley Boyz, The Rock and Raven still belong to the WWF so will you please sign the contract?" Stephanie pushed the paper to her dad.

Vince took the pen and started to sign, not even bothering to read the contract, right now he didn't care, all he wanted to do was make Stephanie happy and if this is what he had to do to make his baby girl happy, he would do it. "There." Vince said, handing Stephanie the signed contract.

Stephanie looked over the contract, her icy blue eyes reading everything, and then she smiled. "Thanks dad, look sorry to have you sign and ditch but I have to take this to the lawyers, bye." Stephanie waved and left Vince's office with The Rock still at her side.

[ Outside Vince's office ]

Stephanie turned to The Rock and grinned. "This contract right here is all we need to take the WWF down. As of now Raven, you, Andrew, Justin, Tazz, The Dudley Boyz and Rhyno belong to WECW, and we are now free to destroy the WWF."

The Rock smirked. "Vince McMahon will never see it coming."

Stephanie nodded. "Daddy should have thought about the repercussions of his actions before he did them. See the WWF has never been threatened like this, because no one had the power we do, but we have the power to take my daddy down. We will invade his company, destroying his matches and then we will finally take him down at a PPV event and I will finally show him that it's all evolution." Stephanie grinned.

[ WECW meeting ]

Stephanie watched all the wrestlers of both WCW and ECW sit down next to each other, something they have never done before, Stephanie smiled at everybody, she turned to Shane who was waiting for next move. Stephanie had told Shane the plan, how they would take the WWF down, and make a name for themselves, give WECW the respect they deserve and he had agreed to go along with it.

"Listen everybody, this is the first time ever that ECW and WCW stars have joined together for one cause, and that one cause is the WWF and Vince McMahon. He has shot you down, he has humiliated you, he has treated you unfairly, not giving you the respect you fully deserve and now it's time to get what has been coming to you and him. Together we can take him down, we can run the WWF out of business and make it ours. The WWF is not as tough as they like to think they are, we need to find their weaknesses and crush them and then finally crush the WWF. Together WECW can do it; Alone, separated, we can not accomplish this task. No scratch that, not a task ... together we can choose our own destinies. No WWF star can stop us from our destiny, we were born to do this! We were born to succeed in the world wrestling federation and Vince McMahon can not stop us, not even god himself can stop this war from happening. This is a war, a war that has been begging to happen and we need to fight this war with everything we got, we need to declare victory, wave that flag with a grin on our faces, knowing that we have won the long, violent war, and we can be proud to know that we have come up on top!" Stephanie said, with a straight, serious look on her face.

"There is no tomorrow, there is no yesterday, everything is about today. Raven, Tazz, Andrew, The Rock, Rhyno, Justin, Dudley Boyz, all of you have turned your backs on the WWF and defected to ECW; The WWF will never take you back, you got to prove that you know where you belong. We have to take Vince McMahon down, we have to stab that final knife in his back and take the WWF away from him and make it ours." Shane said, grinning at the commotion in the locker-room.

"It's all about evolution! Me and Shane will come out on top because it is known that children are stronger, smarter and generally out live their parents, and my father has lived on top way too long and it's time for us to take him down. Together me, Shane, Paul Heyman and all of you can do this, but we need to know that all of you are in for the long and exhausting and violent haul. Are you in!?" Stephanie screamed.

"We're in!" The voices of the WECW stars screamed.

"Louder!" Shane screamed.

"We're in!" They screamed louder.

Stephanie grinned. "Let's do this!"

Paul Heyman stood up and raised Shane and Stephanie's hands. "To take down the WWF!"

[ Smackdown - APA VS. Christian and Edge ]

Stephanie watched from the television set backstage as The APA and Christan and Edge fought, Stephanie smirked and turned to Shane, who nodded. "Let the invasion begin." Stephanie said, smiling.

"The match is on fire, The APA and Christian and Edge are giving it their all, but --- wait what is this? The Dudley Boyz just gave Bradshaw a 3D and Farooq has just recieved a Dudley Dog by Buh Buh Ray, but now The Dudley Boyz are attacking Christian and Edge! Edge just went through a table, Christian is out cold from a 3D! The Dudley Boyz who have recently defected to ECW have destroyed both tag teams and have destroyed the match!" JR screamed, watching the scene.

"JR, it doesn't seem to be over. Shane McMahon's music is playing, what does the WCW chairman have to say?" Michael Cole asked, his eyes sparking in curiosity.

"Wait it's not just Shane, Stephanie McMahon is coming out too! Look at the grins on their faces! This was all planned!" JR exclaimed.

Shane walked down the titantron with Stephanie's arm linked with his; Shane hopped up and climbed in the ring, he pushed down the ropes to allow Stephanie easier access into the ring. Shane smiled and handed Stephanie a microphone and then got his own.

"Why thank you Shane." Stephanie said, smiling. She then looked at The APA and Christian and Edge who were all passed out. "Well well ... good job Dudley Boyz!" Stephanie slapped hands with D-Von and Buh Buh Ray.

Shane nodded. "Great job."

Stephanie smiled. "See everybody, tonight was just the beginning of the end of the WWF. Go ahead and boo me, call me a slut, do whatever you fans like to do, but here is the stone cold truth WECW is here to stay and we are going to dominate the WWF. Because the WWF and Vince McMahon have been around way too long, and now it's time for WCW and ECW to shine like the real champions they are! While the WWF played it safe ECW and WCW were cheated out of the stardom we deserve, but no longer! Together we will fulfill our destinies, we will not back down until we are up on top."

Shane nodded. "We will dominate!"

Stephanie smiled. "Now I would like to bring out the stars of WECW accompanied by the brilliant Paul Heyman!" Stephanie clapped as all the ECW and WCW stars and Paul Heyman walked down the titantron and then she hugged Paul as everybody walked into the ring.

"Dominance will be ours!" Paul Heyman said, still holding onto Stephanie. "It's time for the real company, the real extreme company to come up on top ... "

"And I as the queen of extreme will make sure we win!" Stephanie said, cutting in.

Shane grinned, putting his arm around Stephanie's neck. "And the three of us along with the stars of WECW will claim this ground ours!"

Paul Heyman nodded and knelt down on the ground. "This mat will be ours, the ground all you fans stand on will be ours for the keeping!"

Stephanie and Shane along with Booker T, The Dudley Boyz and the rest of the WECW stars knelt down too. "Ours!" Shane and Stephanie said at the same time.

"Here comes Vince McMahon! Our WWF chairman! Listen to that standing ovation!" JR said, clapping for Vince as Vince made his way down the titantron.

"How dare you two! I thought we put our past behind us, I thought we made up and this is what you two do to me?" Vince screamed. "You betrayed me!"

Stephanie pushed herself up and walked over to the ropes. "Don't talk about betrayal daddy, because if anyone is the king of betrayal that is you! You have hurt me over and over, you have hurt me so many times I have lost count, you threw me out to the wolves so many times; You used my admiration and loyalty to you for your own damn cause, you used me! All the pain I have ever felt is because of you, but my pain is over and yours is about to begin. Shane and I are done being just the children of the great WWF chairman, we are now ECW and WCW owners and co-chairmen of WECW, we are now on your exact level. We won't be belittled or thrown aside anymore, we won't give up just because you want us to, because daddy we hate you! Hate the ground you walk on, hate you for what you present in this world and we are taking you down. See daddy, me and Shane are very impatient, we get that from you, all these years we have been waiting for you to die so we can take your company but ... we're sick of waiting. So we are going to do what you did to grandpa, crush you, take away your last piece of dignity and then we will laugh in your face."

Shane grinned. "Yeah dad! Actually dad me and Stephanie want to challenge you to a PPV match, your team against our team and the winner takes it all."

Vince glared at Shane. "If you wanted to be humiliated then let me introduce you to the team that will take you down ... Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Kane and their leader Stone Cold Steve Austin!"

Stephanie smirked. "Well dad, it seems you thought ahead but so did we, let us introduce to Team WECW: Booker T, Rhyno, The Dudley Boyz and ... DDP! Yes dad DDP, the man you thought has been working for you all this time has indeed been working for us."

Andrew and Shane turned to Stephanie, a look of shock painted on both of their faces.

Stephanie grinned. "Come on out DDP!"

Bang!

Yo it's me, it's me, it's DDP!

DDP came walking down the titantron, he pushed past Vince, laughing in his face; DDP then slid into the ring, grabbing a microphone. "See everybody me and Stephanie's plan was real simple ... I should let her explain it to all of you herself, since she was the mastermind behind this plan."

Stephanie smiled. "See, a week prior to the street fight between Shane and DDP, I went to DDP and asked him for his help, I needed to take my father down but make it look like I was the one hurt in all of this, so me and DDP came up with the plan to make my father think DDP was a back stabbing weasel."

DDP laughed. "What can I say? I play a good weasel."

Stephanie grinned. "Thus we started the act, not even telling Shane or Andrew the plan. Even the near kidnapping was a part of it, we had to make my fear look good, sorry to all of my friends that I had to trick, but we had to make the plan look completely real."

DDP laughed and put his arm around Stephanie's neck. "And at InVasion I will be among Buh Buh Ray, D-Von, Booker T and Rhyno on Team WECW."

Stephanie smiled. "See dad, you underestimated me, which was a mistake because I am the most ruthless one of us all, and at InVasion you will feel my wrath!"

"I can't believe this JR! DDP and Stephanie McMahon have been working together this whole time!" Michael Cole screamed as Smackdown went off the air.
