The WCW theme wrung through the arena as Stephanie and Shane led the WCW and ECW out to the ring.

" Where's Paul?" Steph asked Shane as they got into the ring.

" You mean he's not out here?" Shane said looking around, through the ECW and WCW wrestlers.

" Rhyno isn't out here either." Stephanie said as the lights came up. Shane shrugged and took the microphone that was handed to him.

" Hello Columbus, Ohio. We've decided to come out here tonight because there are some things that we need to get off our chests so to speak." Shane said, he handed the mic. off to Stephanie. (A/N: I had to put it in a city I was familiar with...hehe.)

" And I have something to get off mine as well. Sydney Heyman, where ever you are. I issue a challenge." Stephanie said.

All of a sudden the lights went out and Steph's mic was cut.

//Well look at you,
Your all puffed up
In a big red truck
But your out of luck this time
oh well that's tough
Cause I'm on fire too hot to touch
With a chat room full of lovers
I'm in line
Watch that right up
Spit shine my soul
I'm gonna grab and laugh, get outta control

I love myself today
Not like yesterday
I'm cool, I'm calm, I'm gonna be ok, uh huh
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now
Cause it's your last look
Your last look forever//

The stage back lit and you saw three figures standing on stage. The lights came up to reveal Sydney, with Rhyno, and Paul standing on each side of her. Stephanie's mouth dropped open. The music cut and Sydney lifted the microphone to her mouth.

" I'm right here Stephanie." She asked, as the crowd began to go wild. Stephanie swallowed hard and looked at Shane.

" Go on." Shane said.

" I challenge you to a match in this very ring tonight on Raw." Stephanie said, trying to not act scared.

" Wonderful. But you may just want to wait before you start running your big mouth any more. Run the tape." Sydney said, looking right at Stephanie.

On the Titan Tron you see Stephanie talking to Chris Jericho. She hands him an envelope and kisses him on the cheek as the footage ends. Stephanie looks around to see all the ECW wrestlers scowling at her. Rob walks over to the ropes and gets out of the ring, followed by all the other ECW wrestlers. They all walk up the ramp and stand behind Paul, Sydney and Rhyno.

" That's why I told you to never, ever fuck with a Heyman, Stephanie." Sydney said. " Now, about that challenge. I accept, under ECW rules."

" Well then I want WCW surrounding the ring." she said looking at Shane as he nodded his approval.

" Fine with me, but if I win, you leave. If you win, I leave." Sydney said. The crowd cheered more.

" Good, once again I'll prove that I'm the dominate female in the Alliance." Stephanie said. Sydney shook her head and laughed.

" We'll see about that one Steph." Sydney said, as the ECW theme wrung through the arena as they left the stage.


Author's notes: Only one more chapter..I think.. :P The lyrics are from a Bif Naked song called " I love myself today" it's an awesome song. I was going to bring back some of the other old ECW people, but then I changed my mind. So sue me....no, wait don't..I just got my cable turned off today..I HAVE NO MONEY!! I CAN'T EVEN WATCH RAW!!! Okay, but anyway. Tell me whatcha think. If it sucks, tell me, I can handle it...but give me your address so I can come and kick your ass. (Just kidding..hehe) Thanks to Nik for pulling me out of my slump that I was in earlier in the week. I still miss talking to you!! It seems like it's been freaking ages man!!
