A/N: All right. I understand more French then I do Spanish, yet I am taking Spanish in school. Go figure. When Raven and Steph speaking French, the translations are next to it (so don't have a cow). I wrote this fast, cuz I read one of Rhyno Girls stories and got all depressed. I didn't want my story to end up drepressing (those are for my Raven stories anyway) so I decided just to let this chapter go as it is. I need an idea for a Song fic-y for the next chapter (cuz all this dialogue stuff hurts my head, I need to revert to my basics... LoL) Thats all. I own nothing, I am nothing. Lita and Kane are a cute couple, no matter what anyone says (even when I yell at myself for liking it) Thats all. Rock on!

I wake up and sigh to myself. I look around the room and realize Tazz has gone to get his coffee and bagel. Right there is a difference between Rhyno and Tazz. Rhyno wouldn't leave my sight. And it's not like I held him captive or anything, he just wouldn't leave. Over-protective little man beast. I smile fondly as I recall all the times I tried to get him to go out and get something to eat, but the stubborn guy wouldn't budge. He was afraid that someone might hurt me when he left. I miss him so much. I miss how safe I would feel knowing that before I went to bed, that he would be watching over me. Instead of creeping me out, it made me feel secure. I miss him waking up before me and him having my breakfast ready for me. I miss our breakfast meals together. I miss walking down to the ring with him, knowing that he would put his life on the line to protect me. I miss him, period.


I get up and stretch and walk into the bathroom. As I pass the mirror, I see that my eyes all are puffy and bloodshot from crying myself to sleep last night. Yuck. I take a nice long shower to come myself down. As I get out of the bathroom, my cell phone starts to ring. I run over to pick it up.

"Hello?!"

"Hello, is this the Stephanie Man Beast Farm?" It's Raven disguising his voice.

"Thank God! I've been waiting to hear from you two bozos! How are you?!"

"You mean how is your boyfriend? What about me, What about Raven! I never had any love as a child and you are not showing me any love now in my adult life!" Raven goes on as in the background I hear Rhyno telling him to shut up, before he *makes* him shut up.


"Exactly! Shut up bird brain! How bad is Rhyno's sister? Neither one of you hurt anyone over there yet, have you? How is Rhyno hholding up? You're not putting *everything* on that charge card are you?" I ask all in one breath.

"Well, expect for when Rhyno and I went out to eat and each of us had five lobsters, yeah we haven't used your charge card too much." He said jokingly... I hope... "Oh I think Rhyno wants to talk to you now, cuz he's kinda jumping up and down like a puppy dog, or an over excited kid at Christmas. Au revoir pour maintenant, princesse/ Goodbye for now, princess"

"Le You parlent français? Je n'ai jamais su cela!/ You speak French? I never knew that!" I say in French back to him.

"Le There sont beaucoup de choses que vous ne connaissez pas moi/ There are many things you do not know about me." he then passes the phone and I hear that voice I've been wanting to hear since he left.

"y'ello?"

I want to rush out and scream how much I miss him, and love him, and need him, and want him, but all I say is "Hey Rhyno." then silence from both sides of the telephone. "How is your sister doing?"

"As good as someone can be with machines hooked up inside of them and can't breath on their own. The doctors don't think she'll make it through the night." he stops and sounds like he's going to cry.

"I'm sure she lived life to the fullest and that this is what God wanted." My childhood CCD classes come back to me as I search for something to cheer him up.

"God this and God that. If there really was one, He would not have had my baby sister RAPED and left for dead. He would have realized she's a good person and He wouldn't have let he be so close to death." His voice just oozes sarcasm. He stops and then says, "I think I've been spending way to much time with Raven." I can't help but laugh a little. He soon joins me.

"I love you Rhyno"

"I love you too." Oh now that's what I've needed to hear. If I close my eyes I can imagine his arms around me, whispering into my ear.

"I helped Hurricane the other day, you'd be proud of me."

"Really? How?" I can see him smiling. "I saved him from being beat by Austin. Tazz was proud of me." I say happily.

"Oh, so I leave you for a couple of days and *this* is how you repay me? You and Tazz? My God Steph!" He pretends to be horrified. I hear Raven in the background making some rude comment on that being my 7th guy this week. "Tell Raven, at least I have somebody!" Rhyno relays the message and I hear Raven yelling about that Sarah girl. Poor, poor girl.

Rhyno and I talk for a little bit more, then we have to hang up. Tazz walks in as we are saying our good-byes. He smiles when he hears us talking baby talk to each other. I think I've hit a new low. Except this kind of low feels nice. Anyway. I turn to Tazz and he says, "I'm glad ya found someone like Rhyno, princess. He might be as mean as dey come in da ring, but outside dat ring, he'll be as gentle as a pup. Especially tawards ya." You know, with all this friendly advice Tazz is giving out to me, I'm beginning to envision him as some sort of fairy godmother. I should remember to tell Raven and Rhyno this when they come back. They'd get a hoot out of it. Sigh. Well, I have plans to go talk to 'Mighty Molly' over lunch. I should go get ready. Why do all the crazy ones seem to want to be by me?
