A.n.: Nothing to say here..*crickets chirp* 'cept lets review what has happened! Stephanie McMahon was banned from the WWF "forever". She was exclusively banned from societyby her ex-husband HHH, when he set up a scandalous article in a gossip paper. The scandal grew so large that her father Vince McMahon quietly disowned her and she left the world of wrestling to persue a new career elsewhere. This elsewhere happened to be at Nation News where she gets a job as an Advice columnist. Her only contacts in the WWE are Lita, Shane McMahon, and Chris Jericho. However when Shane gets hurt in the ring she bumps into Marshall Mathers who helps her by letting her fly with him on his jet. They flirt and that's about it. So here is the next chapter!!! HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!!



"Ugh!" Stephanie groaned dropping her shopping bags on her hotel bed. She was so glad that she'd called ahead to the hotel and got a room. It was pouring in rain outside and the hotel was now packed. Dumping out the contents of each bag she then ruffled through them. It wasn't everyday that she got to chill with her best friend. They'd gone shopping for an outfit for Lita to wear the next night for her bra's and panties match against Trish,. When they'd finished they had so many bags that they had to get a bus boy or two to get everything. Pulling out her bare essentials then some blue jeans and a deep blue tank top.

"Must have hot shower soon!" Stephanie said trudging towards the bathroom.

'Ring'

'Ring'

'Ring'

"Damn you" Stephanie muttered picking up her cell phone and pushing the on button. "Hello?" Stephanie asked being mellow and polite.

"Hey Steph." Marshall said glad that she'd picked up the phone.

"Marshall hi!" Stephanie said perking up.

"How's Shane?" He asked.

"Sarcastic, gross, overprotective." Stephanie said laughing. "I decided to tease the crippled man with the fact that I got here in a jet with a mysterious man."

"Did he guess it was me." Marshall asked.

"Nope but I did tell my best friend about you." She said.

"Ah" Marshall said.



"She thinks that you're trying to get into my pants." Stephanie said plopping down in the bed.

"Really.." Marshall replied a bit of hurt evident in his voice.

"But for some insane reason I trust you completely." Stephanie said.

"Thanks." He said a little surprised. "I''m not trying to get in your pants."

"Well I am.." He said. "But well not like that..DAMN!" He muttered and she held back a laugh.

"It's ok." Stephanie reassured him. "So what did you call me for."

"Well I have a concert tonight as you already know and I was going to send a limo around to pick you up and I thought that you'd like, love, hell maybe even want to come." He said.

"Well I would love to see you again." She mused. "All right I'm there."

"Great the limo will be there around six." He said and she could hear the smile in his voice.

"Hey Marshall?" Stephanie asked.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"I just wanted to thank you for being so nice to me earlier today." Stephanie said. "Most people would have looked at me like a whore and tossed me to the street."

"I understand the whole character thing." Marshall said. "I also really like the sweet Stephanie McMahon.

"That..that really means a lot Marshall." Stephanie said.

"Yeah well you know us rappers have to keep things smooth with the ladies." He said laughing.

"Smooth as a rocky edge." Stephanie teased him.

"I'm hurt Steph really I am." He responded. "So I'll see you tonight."

"Definitely." She said.

"Great."

"Bye."

"Holla.just kidding Bye."

"Lita I don't know about this!" Stephanie said searching for her other shoe.

"Stephanie you can't do anything now." Lita said from her spot on Stephanie's bed. "The limo's here!"

"Ok." Stephanie said after retrieving her shoe and looking in the mirror. Her hair was straight an her light makeup was perfect. She wore jeans and a white and navy blue baby t with the words Naughty Angel on it. A pair of black ankle boots finished the look.

"GO get em girlfriend." Lita said munching on a pack of skittles she stole from Jeff.

" You are such a cow." Stephanie laughed. She was pelted by a skittle and Lita glared at her.

"Bitch!" She couldn't hold the angry look and settled on just laughing and throwing skittles at Stephanie as she left. Stephanie caught one in her mouth and smiled.

"Love yaz sis!" Stephanie said.

"BYE!" Lita called out and Stephanie closed the door and walked down the stairs to the limo. Unclasping and clasping her hands she watched as they arrived at the arena 20 minutes later.



"Steph!" Marshall came running up to the limo.

"Hey!" She said stepping out and hugging him.

"You ready to see the show?" Marshall asked.

"Absolutely." She said taking his hand.

"Let's go." He walked with her do the hall to the backstage area. "I'd like you to meet some people."

"Ok." Stephanie nodded as he led her into a room filled with about 20 people. She watched as he shook hands with some guys and waved at some other people. She looked down at her appearance then at the other girls in the room. Was she over dressed or was it just her mind playing games with her? They stopped at a man whom she recognized as Dr. Dre.

"Yo Dre. I'd like you to meet Step.." She squeezed his hand and looked at him. He nodded back and wrapped an arm around her waist keeping her close as a few guys went out. "Marie McMahon." Dre nodded at her and shook her hand.

"You takin' Care of Marshall right?" He asked and she smiled.

"As much as I can." She said nervously. Marshall noticed and rubbed her knuckles with his thumb.

Dre taking note to this grinned at Marshall. "She seems like a sweet heart."

"She is." He grinned looking around. "Hey yo where's D-12?" He asked.

"Ah They're getting their part of the show done you're up next." He reminded him.

"Oh shit yeah." Marshall said. "Can you watch out for her while I go get myself wired up and onstage?"

"Hey I'm a big girl ya know." Stephanie said hands on her hips. "I can take care of myself."

Marshall and Dre shared a laugh. "Not around these guys you don't." Marshall looked at Dre. "And can you take her up behind the curtain for the show?"

Marshall squeezed her hand and walked out of the room to get ready to perform. She stood there for a couple of minutes smiling. "Never knew Marshall was capable of sweeping women off their feet." Stephanie blushed.

"So Marie where you from?" A guy came in from behind her offering her a chair. Stephanie looked at Dre not sure if this guy was for real or a joke. He nodded at her and she sat down looking at the guy.

"I'm from New York." Stephanie said. "Do you have a name or are you just completely random?"

"Say what?" The guy looked at her strange and she rolled her eyes. "Name's Pavilion X. other wise known as Derick Curtis." He smiled at her his eyes traveling heavily down her body as if he was undressing her in his mind and then some. A cold shock went through her and she was getting bad vibes.

"Marie you wanna watch Marshall he should be going on by now." Dre said standing up and glaring at the young Hispanic guy next to her. He noticed his posse coming up behind him

"Yeah." Stephanie said wrapping her arms around her body and standing up following him out the door she felt something grab her behind and just hoped it was someone bumping into her in the crowded room. Dre lead her up a flight of stairs and she could see the stage. Marshall was all ready to go his mic ready and orange jumpsuit on. He was wearing a white skully cap turned upside down and he turned and smiled at her.

"Great you got up here on time." He said taking her hand again.

"As if I wouldn't?" Stephanie teased.

"No one messed with you did they?" He asked her.

"Well."

"Marshall you're on in two." A stage hand said and she squeezed his hand before he got into place. Running out on the stage he began doing his thing and she leaned up against the wall watching him a big smile on her face. He looked back over at her and her body tingled excited about this new thing in her life. Inside she was doing flip flops and she wondered briefly if she was falling for him. Shaking her head she had to get a hold of herself. She couldn't be falling for him she'd only known him for one day!



Well wha'd ya think of that? It might be a little sucky.If it is I blame it on my chores I had to do in between chapters!!!
