Plan One – Operation Break Up
'Okay, who do we want?'
Lita looked uncomfortable as the two of them looked down at the list of possible women to 'seduce' Helms. 'How about Terri?'
Chris rolled his eyes. 'Only because you know he hates her already. Trish?'
'Nope. Jeffery will kill us if he ever finds out, which considering how close those two have gotten lately, I won't be surprised if he does.'
'Ivory?'
'Um…bad idea. They parted on not so good terms.'
'Stacey?'
'Isn't she dating Stasiak?'
'How the hell should I know? They're together, they're not. They're together, they're not.'
Lita rolled her eyes at him. 'Whatever.'
'Torrie Wilson?'
She said nothing.
Chris grinned, shaking his head. 'Torrie it is then.'
This time, she grinned at him. 'Ha! Your turn. We need a guy for Steph now.'
He shot her an evil glare. 'I still think the kidnapping thing would work.'
'No, we've got plans. Plans are good. Plans don't get you arrested. Let's stick to the plans.'
Chris muttered incoherently to himself, which Lita happily ignored.
'Okay…a guy for Steph. RVD? He seems to have a crush on her.'
'No!'
'Uh huh…Booker T?'
'No!'
'Right. Rock?'
'Definitely not!' He paused. 'Would he do it if we asked him?'
'He does seem to have been paying a lot more attention to her a lot lately.'
'No!'
'Rhyno?'
Chris snorted. 'That so called man-beast? I think not!'
'Chris! Do you want them to break up or not?'
'Of course I do!'
'Well, we need a guy for Steph!'
'But…'
'Now, stop being such a baby. Next guy I pick will be the one, okay?'
He glared at his so-called friend. 'Fine.'
'Deal?'
'Deal.'
Lita grinned. 'Good. I pick…Edge!'
Chris eyes widened. 'But…but…she likes him already!'
'So, that's just a bonus. And maybe we won't even have to pay him, considering he likes her as well.'
Chris glared at her. 'Evil bitch.'
Lita smiled sweetly at him. 'Thank you.'

'Torrie.'
The girl smiled brightly at him, her eyes lighting up. Chris had to blush. 'Hi, Chris!'
He smiled back. 'Can we, uh…can we talk?'
'Sure!'
She certainly was bubbly. 'Well, a friend of mine needs a little favour.'
Torrie's smile dimmed slightly. 'Oh?'
'Yeah. Myself, I have no idea what's going on, really. Just asked to pass on a message.' Chris and Lita had both decided to pretend to work as intermediaries, just in case someone figured out what they were up to.
'Okay, then.' She looked suddenly very unsure.
'Oh, don't worry! It's nothing too bad.' He sighed for effect. 'I don't even know why I'm doing this… Anyway, this friend of mine says that a certain someone has an interest in you.'
'Really? Who?'
'Greg Helms.'
'Hurricane? Isn't he with Stephanie?'
'You see, this friend has an interest in Stephanie's happiness, and this friend hates seeing her with someone who is interested in someone else.'
'Basically, your friend wants me to break Steph and Greg up?' Torrie looked at him shrewdly. 'What's in it for me?' She was smarter than she looked.
'A hundred bucks.'
'Two.'
'One-fifty.'
'Two.'
'Two.'

'How'd it go?'
Lita grinned. 'Perfect. He pretty much jumped at the chance!'
Chris groaned. 'Just great.'
'How much does he want to get paid?'
'None. He just wants free reign over what he does.'
Bad news, some good news. 'Damn! Well, that's good then. Torrie wanted two hundred.'
'Expensive whore.'
'Don't say that. She's really nice.'
Lita narrowed her eyes. 'I said, expensive whore.'
Chris just smiled sweetly at her.

Two days into their plan, and so far so good. Actually, things were going way too good. Stephanie and Helms had their first little argument, and Torrie and Edge just happened to be there when it happened. As planned, Stephanie was comforted by Edge, Helms comforted by Torrie.
Everything was going as planned.
Damnit!
Stephanie and Edge made quite a stunning couple, which made Chris even more jealous. Helms was being quite attentive to Torrie, which made Lita see red.
Not good. It was working too well.
Lita and Chris decided to quickly cancel the plan. If Stephanie and Helms finally broke up, Edge and Torrie would end up picking up the pieces.
Lita and Chris had to have another talk to Edge and Torrie, and quick! This time, Chris was to talk to Edge, and Lita to Torrie.
'Chris. What's up, man?'
'Hey, Edge. We need to talk.'
'Oh, about what?'
'Well…you.'
'Me?'
'Yeah.' Chris grinned. 'Guess who I heard had the hots for you?'
Edge smiled hopefully. 'Steph?'
He couldn't stop the jealous frown appearing. The other Canadian was half right. Stephanie did like Edge. Crap! 'Um…no.'
Edge frowned back at him, disappointed. 'Oh. Okay then.'
'Don't you want to know who it is?'
'Not really.'
Chris forced a cheerful smile on his face. 'I'll tell you anyway. It's Torrie.'
*
Chris threw his arms around Lita, spinning her around. 'It worked! This is fantastic!'
Lita laughed. 'Torrie actually likes Edge a lot as well, so she didn't take much convincing.'
He rolled his eyes. 'Edge took forever to convince. I had to take him to a bar, get him drunk, which cost me a pretty penny, and then get him to finally stop thinking about my Steph, and about Torrie. How come you always get the easy jobs?'
She grinned. 'That's cos I'm cool.'
'Whatever.'
'So, what's the next plan?'
