Title: I Only Have Eyes For You

Author Note: I wrote this story simply because I was incredibly bored and ran out of ideas, so if anyone doesn't like this story, I understand, but its different then what I've been doing lately, my earlier stories were about Eric/Steph and there *might* be coupleage with them in this.. I haven't made up my mind yet, but until then, enjoy and I hope you all like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, they are solely based on the character portrayed on TV, and I do know that Stephanie is engaged in r/l to Paul ( aka HHH ) and the other characters I used are probably married as well, but this is just a fanfic, don't look too much into it.

Summary: Roddy Piper starts to develop a crush on Stephanie McMahon, and Bischoff tries to bring an old "friend" of Stephanie's to his roster.. features: Stephanie, Eric Bischoff, Roddy Piper, Trish and Buh Buh ( briefly ), and more as I go along..

Another Note: Important: If you like the story please review, or I won't continue because this is a new storyline for me that I just made up, if I don't get any reviews then I won't make another chapter. I don't mean to sound like a bitch or anything I just need to know if I should continue on with this or not. Since it's all about the fans then I think I should only be fair to see what people like and don't like.

Stephanie finished tying her boots in the women's locker room, finishing off her attire for tonight. She walked over to the mirror and glanced at herself for a brief moment. She was wearing her old "Stephanie McMahon - Always On Top" T-shirt, since she had it remade to take the "Helmsley" part of her last name off. She pulled up her skimpy stretchy shorts a bit then took a deep breath, "here we go," she closed her eyes and tried to tell herself she would do just fine, and that she knew what she was doing. It had been so long since she had been in the ring and now was her chance to prove she could compete with the other divas as well.

Finally she made her way onstage and slowly but surely down to the ring just fine, her nerves still getting the best of her. Once she entered the ring she raised up her arms and smirked, trying to hide her true feelings about this match.

Finally Dawn Marie came out, made her way down the ring, and the match was on. Stephanie threw in a few kicks and punches, a few monkey tosses and especially slaps, her specialty. But nothing seemed to work too well for her. Dawn just kept getting up over and over again to fight back. Suddenly Roddy Piper slowly came down to the ring and stayed by the ropes for a while, watching the match himself. He admired Stephanie's fighting skills being that she was a McMahon.

Dawn grabbed Stephanie by her arm and threw her against the ropes, but Stephanie dodged Dawn's clothesline. She then looked over and saw Roddy Piper, her jaw dropped and she suddenly want over to the ring and started bitching at him, telling him off as much as possible, which caused a great distraction, Dawn took advantage and grabbed Stephanie once more and this time threw her out of the ring.. into Piper's arms. He grinned at Stephanie as she looked up at him demanding he let her go, he shrugged then dropped her on the ground, she looked up at him with anger in her eyes, "you bastard! I told you to put me down not drop me!," he just shrugged and replied with, "you asked me to put you down princess!," and he stayed on the side, away from her.

Stephanie put her hand on her side, she felt a little pain but not enough to give up on this match. She quickly entered the ring and slapped Dawn Marie once more. She pushed Stephanie down, then Roddy Piper distracted the referee as Sean O'Haire came down to the ring and clotheslined Dawn. He quickly left the ring and Roddy Piper backed off the rope to leave the ref to do his job. Stephanie watched in bewilderment and couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. She wanted to win the match, but now by cheating. She sighed then figured if she did win the match she probably wouldn't have to wrestle for quite a while, figuring Shane is watching her match backstage and noticing how bad of a wrestler she is. She picked up Dawn Marie by her hair and kicked her in the stomach, slapped her, then gave her her version of a DDT, then went for the pin. The ref went down for the count - 1, 2, 3! Stephanie's theme played and she smirked, she had won her match, not fairly, but she had won. She stood up and placed her hands on her hips, smirked, then headed towards the ropes. Roddy Piper and Sean O'Haire got into the ring, Roddy Piper went up to Stephanie and looked her over once more, then raised up her hand in victory.

Stephanie didn't even bother changing, she just grabbed her bags and was on her way out of the arena when she bumped into Sean O'Haire, "Well hello Stephanie," he grinned in a friendly manner. Stephanie half smiled and then answered, "Hey Sean," she looked around, surprised Roddy Piper wasn't far behind. "Hey Stephanie, can I ask you something, it's really none of my business, but seeing that I'm Roddy Piper's, well, let's call it "associate", I just wanted to ask you a few things, do you have time to .." Stephanie cut him off, "yea, yea, sure go head.," she folded her arms, waiting. "Well Stephanie, I'm probably telling something that you already know but Roddy Piper really does like you, it's no joke Stephanie, why don't you just give him a chance?," he smiled in a convincing way but Stephanie just sighed and kept her straight face on, "Look, I appreciate your loyalty to your uh "associate" and all, and I think it's really nice of you to come over and do him a favor, but I don't go for guys who are old enough to be my father! Thanks, but no thanks," she started to walk away but he grabbed her by the arm gently, "What about Eric Bischoff? He is the exact same age as Piper, he's 45. I don't see any difference," Stephanie slowly turned around and looked him dead in the eyes, "There is a big difference Sean. And that reason is something that you already know," her eyebrows went up as she attempted to use his catch phrase. Then she left quickly. Roddy Piper caught up to Sean and looked at him for a second, then back at Stephanie as she was walking away. "How did it go?," he asked, "Roddy, I respect you and I also respect Stephanie, and as a friend, I suggest you back off of the poor girl, I think she's still suffering from her past relationship with Hunter. Give it time," Roddy still looked on until she was out of his site and he headed to his hotel room, convincing himself to think about anything but the gorgeous, young McMahon.

"Yes, I agree, Raw will be number one once I hire him. I realize we could be making a risk, but -", suddenly Eric's conversation was interrupted with a knock on the door. "I'll call you back," he hung up then looked over to see Stephanie McMahon standing before him. He just smiled and looked her up and down for a second, "Well, well, well, Stephanie McMahon, what a pleasure to see the General Manger - oops, I mean, ex- general manager of Smackdown," he grinned. Stephanie just stared at him, "So, what can I do for you Stephanie, or are you here to do something for me?," his smile got even bigger. "Eric, I needed to know who you are brining here to Raw, that knows me, that is the least you could do," she let her eyes wander over to a contract laying on Eric's desk. Eric looked her over, "Well Stephanie, if I do that for you, then, what do I get in return?," he got closer to her and tucked part of her hair behind her back, already making her feel vulnerable and nervous at the same time. She sighed, "Eric, stop the mind games, I'm serious. Because if this is who I think your talking about your making a big mistake. He'll ruin everything," she slowly backed up toward his desk to grab the contract, but Eric followed her continuing their conversation.

"Dearest Stephanie, do you really think I'll spoil the surprise? I don't think so. You'll just have to watch the show tonight, or you can show me what you've got ( his eyes traced over her body slowly ) and I'll tell you right now, your choice really," he made it seem like a life-or-death situation. Stephanie was disgusted on how he used his power, and how as sad as it is, he had more then her to use. "Eric, I will choose to wait then," she brushed by him and left the room. He laughed to himself, he could have had his way with her like he did on Halloween but he chose to let her go this time. It was his choice, he didn't get rejected, not Eric Bischoff...

What he didn't know was that Stephanie had grabbed the contract and snuck it past him, she looked it over on the way out to the limo and then gasped, "oh my god," she dropped it on the ground and cupped her hands on her mouth, she could not believe who was coming back to the WWE. "Bret Hart," she gasped.
