Title: I Only Have Eyes For You

Author Note: After I saw smackdown on 5/1/03 I know I'm probably the only one that thought it was funny, but I loved what Roddy Piper said about Chris Jericho. I can tell that would be a very interesting feud if that ever were to happen, but until then, I can only laugh at Jericho. *Teehee*

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, Shawn Michaels, Vince McMahon, and more superstars as I go along.

------------------------------------------------

Stephanie sat in her office, tapping her pencil on her desk over and over again. She heard a knock on her door and then threw down her pencil, "come in!," she called out calmly.

Shawn walked over to her and touched her arm gently, "Hey, Steph. Are you alright?," he asked her, taking her into his arms as she stood up. "Shawn, I just, I don't know what to do. My father is so angry with me for hiring Hulk Hogan and I just.. I don't want to have my position questioned again, I can't..," her eyes filled up with tears. "hey, Steph, I know that's not the only thing bothering you," he said, still holding her tightly. "I just.. I'm also confused about something I'm trying to figure out.. on my own of course, and I'm having a very hard time with that," she sighed.

"It'll be alright Steph.. everything will be fine," he tucked part of her hair behind her ear and kissed her on the forehead. "Everything will be .. fine," his eyes locked with hers, seeing all the sadness behind them. Then without even thinking about the consequences of doing so, he kissed her lips gently.

The kiss became deeper as he held her even tighter to him, making it even more intense. Stephanie broke the kiss as she heard the door creak open, she turned quickly to it to see who it was. "You son of a bitch!," Roddy lunged at Shawn, causing them to get into a fist fight. "Roddy stop it! Stop it!," she grabbed him by the arm, pulling him off of Shawn. She pushed him away and checked on Shawn. "Shawn.. are you alright?," she touched his chest gently. "What the hell were you thinking Roddy?," she yelled. "What was I thinking?," he exclaimed, pulling her by the arm up to him. This time he pulled her in for a kiss, pressing her against the wall aggressively. Stephanie struggled a bit, trying to escape his grasp, but was too weak to do so.

Finally he let her go, backing away from her and looking over at Shawn, then back at Stephanie. "Get out of my office!," she screamed, "out!," she pointed to the door, then walking back over to Shawn who was now standing, she put her arm around him, "are you alright?," she asked, "yea, I'm fine, I swear to god I'll kill him for putting his hands on you Stephanie," he touched her arm gently. "Maybe I can talk to Eric Bischoff, because I don't want to wait till backlash to get my hands on him," he said.

Stephanie sat down in her office as Shawn was on the phone with Eric Bischoff, sealing the deal that tonight he would face Roddy Piper. They argued back and forth as Stephanie wrote out a contract saying that Shawn wasn't signing onto Smackdown, he was just having one match, and one only.

Finally after debating back and forth about the match Shawn finally hung up. "What did he say?," Stephanie asked him in a worried tone. "Are you done with the contract?," Shawn asked. "Yes..," her voice sounding a bit paranoid. "He said he'll be down in about a half an hour to sign it," he said.

"Shawn, I don't think this is a very good idea. Roddy he.. I don't know what's going on with he and I but -" Stephanie tried to explain, but had no idea what to say to make him change his mind.

"but what Stephanie? what he did was an act of aggression!," his voice raised a bit, he sighed, sitting on her chair. "Your not only one of my best friends Stephanie, but I do have feelings for you. And after what happened tonight, I know now that I would like to see more of you then just a friend," he explained, trying not to sound too mushy.

Stephanie was touched but she didn't know how to take it. She still didn't know what she truly felt for either of the men who were vying for her affection. "Shawn, I care so much about you, but we have been friends for the longest time and your my ex husbands best friend! how would that look if we were to start a relationship hypothetically?"

Shawn shook his head, "It doesn't matter Stephanie, I don't care what people think about me, and you shouldn't either. I know you had a hard past, but who hasn't? Get over it! You have to realize that your a good person now. You have changed. And you have the right to make your own decisions," he comforted her. "But tonight, I gotta do, what I gotta do and that is kick Rowdy Roddy Piper's ass!," he grinned, getting even more riled up, "Would you like to be my manager for this match Steph?"

Author Note: sorry for the short chapterage. But I had to leave you in suspense. Besides, I ran out of ideas for this chapter so until further "Ado" I will hopefully have the next chapter up soon. With Steph's decision and a big surprise for the princess. *evil author grin* Mwa ha ha.
