Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own the WWF or any WWF superstars. If I did I'd be a billionaire and that'd be cool. I'd have enough money to buy RVD for one night and… Sorry there I go daydreaming again. I hope you enjoy the last chapter.

…HHH. I just stood there dumbfounded. I couldn't believe what she did.

"Chris, cover him," I heard Steph say.

I gave HHH the Lionsault and I covered him. I got the 3 count. Stephanie then came in the ring and hugged me. She held up my hand in victory, as I stood there still confused about what had just happened

Steph and I walked backstage holding hands.

SMACKDOWN

My music hit and I walked out to an unbelievable ovation. I had Steph on my arm and a win over HHH. Things were good. We got in the ring and I gave Steph the microphone.

"I know you're all wondering why I, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, would chose Chris Jericho over my husband. Well, the answer is simple. I chose Jericho because-"

Before she could finish HHH's music hit and he was standing at the entranceway looking very pissed.

"Steph I don't care why the hell you chose that jackass over me. All I care about is getting his ass in the ring tonight."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Stephanie replied. "Hunter, what makes you think you deserve a rematch against him? Jericho already proved to you that he is better than you are. He proved that you're not that damn good. Besides, he's already booked in a match tonight against the WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. After Jericho beats Austin to become the WWF Champion, he might think about giving you a rematch."

"OK Steph," HHH started. "You can play your little games but one way or another, tonight I'm going to get some revenge. And that's not a threat, it's a promise."

LATER THAT NIGHT-Almost the end of the Austin vs. Jericho match

Austin gave me the stunner, but Steph got on the ring apron and distracted the referee. Austin went over to the ring apron and tried to pull Steph into the ring, but I gave him a low blow and Steph got off the ring apron. Austin went for the Stunner again but I pushed him and he went flying into the referee. Steph then handed me a steel chair and I hit Austin with it. I revived the referee and I got the 3 count. Steph came in and handed me the title belt. I held up the title belt victoriously while Steph clapped and cheered.

Our celebration was cut a little short by the fact that HHH's music hit and he ran down to the ring at full speed. He didn't come alone though. He brought his good friend the sledgehammer. HHH hit me in the head with it and I went down. He was about to hit me again but Steph intervened.

"Please don't hit him anymore," she begged.

"OK," HHH responded. With that he pedigreed her.

THE NEXT MORNING IN JERICHO'S HOSPITAL ROOM

I woke up to find Stephanie looking at me.

"Oh good you're up," she said. "It's almost 3. I was starting to wonder if you were ever going to wake up. How do you feel? "

"I'm fine. I've just got a really bad headache. How are you?"

"I'll live. I just can't believe he gave me the pedigree."

Just then the nurse came in.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but you have some guests," she said.

The Hardyz and Lita walked in.

"Hey Chris," Jeff said. "It's good to see you're finally awake."

"Yeah, I was kinda worried about you," Matt added.

"Don't worry about me. I've taken so many sledgehammer attacks that I think my body's getting used to it."

"I'm really sorry about this Chris," Steph said sympathetically. This is all my fault."

"Don't blame yourself," Lita replied. "It's not your fault HHH is a psycho."

The nurse walked in again.

"You have another visitor," she said.

"Who is it?" I asked very curiously.

"I'm not sure," she answered. "He says he's a friend of yours."

"Bring him in," I said.

The nurse went out the door and HHH walked in.

"What are you doing here you S.O.B.?" I yelled.

"I just came to see if we were set to fight at the next PPV for that title of yours."

"After everything you did, why should I give you a title shot?"

"Because if you don't, a lot worse things are gonna happen. You wouldn't want anything to happen to Lita or your friends the Hardyz or even Steph would you?"

"You better not touch them or I'll…"

"You'll what? You may have friends but I've got the only friend I need and that's a sledgehammer. I wouldn't hesitate to use it on any of your friends or even my darling wife. So do we have a deal or not?"

"Yes we have a deal," I reluctantly said.

"Good, but I'm not happy yet. I don't want any kind of match. I want a Hell in the Cell."

"Are you crazy?" Steph screamed. "Jericho there's no way I'm going to let you agree to this. That match is too dangerous and you're already hurt. You're not going to-"

"I accept," I interrupted.

"Good," Hunter said smiling. "Oh by the way, I hope you get well soon."

HHH left and everybody looked at me.

"What?" I asked to break the silence.

"Have you completely lost your mind?" Jeff asked. "You just agreed to be in a Hell in the Cell match with HHH."

"Yeah, so," I replied.

"He's going to kill you," Lita said. "I can't believe you just did that. I mean you're hurt as is and you're gonna agree to this?"

"I'll just take some time off to heal until the PPV. I'll be fine. Don't worry," I said trying to convince myself more than them.

* * * * * * * * * * *

PPV

"Chris, I've got a really bad feeling about tonight," Steph said as I was getting ready for the match.

"Steph, how many times do I have to tell you I'll be fine?"

"OK, but I still think you should have me at ringside with you,"

"No way. It's way too dangerous. Who knows what HHH could do to you? You're staying back here and watching it on the TV."

"Fine," Steph pouted.

"Aw Steph," I started. "I just don't want anything to happen to you. I love you."

"I love you too Chris," she replied then kissing me.

* * * * * * * * * * *

The match started out with lots of hits, as we were each trying to get control. HHH finally got control and he took full advantage. He rammed me into the cell face first. He then rubbed my face against it causing me to start bleeding. When he went to get something from under the ring, I gave him a low blow and rammed him into the cage.

The match continued to be a seesaw with one of us having control for a very short while. HHH got control again and hit me in the head with a steel chair. He then went under the ring and brought out his trusted companion. Just then Steph ran out. She got in the cell and hovered over me.

"Stop Hunter," she pleaded. "Don't do this."

HHH then tried to it Steph but I moved her out of the way and took the blow. Stephanie then smacked HHH and he hit her. After that it was like I had an amazing adrenaline rush. I got up and began pummeling him. I then pushed him out of the ring. I took a chair and hit his head against the cell. I went in the ring and checked on Steph who was starting to get up.

"Are yo OK?" I asked.

"Yeah, don't worry about me. Worry about keeping HHH down."

"Stay here, I wanna do something for you."

"As if I were going anywhere," she replied.

I brought HHH in the ring along with a steel chair.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I want you to hit him and get revenge for everything he's done to you."

"Chris," she started.

"Just do it," I told her.

"Fine," she said getting the chair. She swung the chair and hit me. HHH then got up and gave me the pedigree to win the title. Stephanie then got a microphone.

"Chris, can you hear me? It just seems that I kind of scrambled your brains with that steel chair. How does it feel Chris? How does it feel to be played for a fool? ? In case you can't tell, all this was a setup. Did you honestly think that I could be friends with you after everything you did to my husband? It was all part of a plan. My husband wanted to just beat the hell out of you, but I wanted to make you pay for every disparaging remark you've ever said about me and every horrible thing you've done to him. The plan worked beautifully didn't it Chris. I befriend you, make you fall in love with me, and make you think I'm just as in love with you as you are with me. And you know what the best part is? That you never ever saw it coming. Now, I just want to leave you with one more thing,"

With that she stood over me and kissed her husband.

THE END
