"Hey, that's Shane McMahon," Tazz said, when the image of Shane popped up
on the screen.
"And he's with Lita!" Michael Cole exclaimed. "And it looks like they are headed toward the ring!"
Stacy Kiebler's lips curled in distaste. She had never cared for the redhead that had managed to grab the attention of several men. And she had managed to keep their attention. Matt Hardy still didn't seem to be over the stupid woman.
"Can't wait to see what they have to say," Stacy said as she leaned back against the leather of the couch she was sitting on.

"Hey Shane," Vince said, cutting off his son near the entrance to the ramp. "What are you two doing on SmackDown?"
"Hey Dad," Shane said, grinning at his father. He embraced the man. "Lita and I have an announcement to make."
"Really?" Vince asked. "May I ask what?"
"Well, Lita's been traded," Shane said, looking happily over at his fiancée.
"By who? For who?" Vince asked.
"Mom," Shane said.
"Huh?" Vince asked. "What do you mean traded?"
"Well, the board decided that Mick and I should switch shows," Shane shrugged. "And since Torrie has been training with Jeff Hardy, Mom thought it would be a good idea to trade her to RAW and have Lita come over to SmackDown."
"Well, okay," Vince said uncertainly.
"C'mon Vince," Lita said, lightly punching Vince in the bicep. "All of the family will be together on the same show. Well, once Stephanie is back."
"Shouldn't be too long now," Vince said. "Well, welcome you two."
"And we want to announce our engagement," Shane said.
"It's about time," Vince said. "You've been engaged for nearly three months and barely anyone even knows you're dating."
"They'll know after tonight," Shane said.

Stacy watched as Shane and Lita walked down the ramp to Shane's music. Lita looked up happily as Shane helped her into the ring. After they were both in the ring he went over and motioned for a microphone.
"Hey everyone," Shane said. He grinned at the mixed reaction. Linda was the only McMahon that had ever been received well by the fans and that was mostly because she was the only McMahon who stood up to Vince on a regular basis. But he was definitely the only other McMahon that had a solid fan base.
"I just wanted to come out here with Lita to make a couple of announcements. First of all, Mick Foley and I have switched brands," Shane said. "The Board of Directors thought it was a good idea to mix things up for a bit. Secondly, well, you tell them Leet."
Lita smiled as she accepted the microphone from Shane. Stacy sneered at the smile, wishing she could go out to the ring and wipe the smile off of the redhead's face.
"I've been traded to SmackDown," Lita said. "Torrie Wilson is going to RAW and she's going to be Jeff and Matt's manager."
There was a cheer in the audience. "I look forward to kicking Stacy's ass with regularity."
"Of course you do," Stacy said, her eyes narrowing at Lita's words.
"And I wanted to let everyone know that there is a reason that Shane and I changed brands at the same time," Lita said. "We've been dating for about three months. And we're getting married before too many more months pass."
Stacy's mouth dropped open in shock. Shane and Lita? Lita was going to be a McMahon? It didn't make any sense. But there was Shane and Lita in the middle of the ring, sharing a kiss.
"Damn it!" Stacy yelled as she stomped to her feet. She paced the ring, mentally willing her anger to calm itself.
It wasn't fair. She had tried for months to get Shane's attention while he had been her boss. He had so easily shrugged off all of her advances. Nobody had ever said no to her.
"You okay?" Hunter asked as he peeked his head into Stacy's dressing room.
"I'm alright lover," Stacy purred, putting on a mask of tranquility with a touch of seduction in her smile.
"I heard you yell from down the hall," Hunter said, coming into the room and shutting the door behind himself.
"Oh," Stacy said. "I thought I had broken a nail. But would you look at this sick display?"
"What?" Hunter asked as his eyes shifted toward the monitor in corner of Stacy's dressing room. "Is that Shane? And Lita?"
"And they are engaged!" Stacy exclaimed.
"I always thought she could do better," Hunter commented.
"Than a McMahon?" Stacy asked in shock. "You can't do better than that!"
"Yeah, you can," Hunter said. "I know from personal experience what it's like to be sucked into that family."
"I forget sometimes," Stacy said. "It's wrong though."
"Why?" Hunter asked.
"Because Lita is a bitch and she doesn't deserve to be happy," Stacy said, pouting petulantly.
"I would say that it's Shane who doesn't deserve to be happy," Hunter said. "Because he's a McMahon and McMahons thrive on ruining other people's lives."
"They need to be broken up," Stacy said.
"Are you planning something?" Hunter asked, sitting on the couch next to Stacy.
"Maybe," Stacy shrugged. "You want to help?"
"Do I get to make Shane McMahon miserable?" Hunter asked.
"Among other things Mr. Cerebral Assassin," Stacy said.
"I love it when you get that conniving look in your eye," Hunter said. "It makes me want to screw you until you're out of breath."
"There's an offer I haven't gotten in awhile," Stacy said, shifting so she could position herself in Hunter's lap.
"What's the plan?" Hunter asked.
"Well, we make it look like Shane O has been unfaithful to Lita," Stacy said.
"Why doesn't he just cheat on her?" Hunter asked. "Wouldn't that be easier?"
"Well yeah," Stacy said. "But I know that for some mysterious reason he doesn't seem to be weak where I'm concerned."
"Maybe you should try again," Hunter shrugged.
"I've tried many, many times," Stacy said.
"Really now?" Hunter asked. "So there are a few men who don't fall victim to your charms."
"And they all seem to have this annoying habit of getting involved with Lita," Stacy said, wrinkling her nose in distaste.
"How rude of them," Hunter said. He leaned over and covered her lips with his for a smoldering kiss. "Oh well. They don't know what they are missing."
"True," Stacy said as she shifted again and wrapped her long legs on either side of Hunter. "Too bad you have a match in about five minutes. I'd hate to wear you out beforehand."
"It doesn't sound like a good idea," Hunter agreed.
"Well, we will let you go," Stacy said. But she didn't stand before giving him one last kiss. "For luck."
"Thanks," Hunter said. "And we'll talk more about this plan of yours tonight. After I leave you breathless."
"I look forward to it," Stacy said. She smiled in satisfaction after the door shut behind Hunter. Men were so easy. Stacy's grin faded as she thought about Shane. Well, most men were easy."
"And he's with Lita!" Michael Cole exclaimed. "And it looks like they are headed toward the ring!"
Stacy Kiebler's lips curled in distaste. She had never cared for the redhead that had managed to grab the attention of several men. And she had managed to keep their attention. Matt Hardy still didn't seem to be over the stupid woman.
