Title: Cloud Nine

Author Note: If you haven't read I Only Have Eyes For You you need to before reading this story, and yes I openly admit I like Roddy Piper, I think he's really funny and cool even though I know a lot of people don't like him. But there will be a lot more characters in this sequel then last time. And I might possibly change the rating later on if I feel naughty and decide to make a sex chapter so if you feel at all offended by that then please don't read 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 and Stephanie are going to get married on Smackdown! But who/what does Stephanie really want? And will Shawn step in and help her out, or will all hell break loose on Smackdown!?

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

Stephanie stood in front of the coffee table, stirring the sugar into her hot beverage. HHH approached her slowly as she turned around, she looked at him with complete curiosity in her eyes. "Steph, I know you and I have never been on the same page, and ever since our bitter divorce, I haven't felt anything for you other then hatred! But right now I almost feel sorry for you. I mean, if you married Shawn, I would have another good reason to be mad at him but Roddy Piper? Steph he's twice your age! he's ancient! I mean.. I can see that Vince is angry with you but this is just absurd," HHH sighed.

Stephanie's fingers tapped against the cup of her coffee as she tried to think of ways to respond to what her ex-husband had just said.

"Hunter, no matter how you feel about me... I just.. ( she sighed ) I think you will always have a big chunk of my heart, I don't know why, and I don't know how you managed to do so, but you do. Now excuse me, I need to go back to my office," Stephanie walked back to her office and placed her coffee down on the desk. She sat on her chair and tried to think of what she should put as the main event tonight.

Suddenly Mr. America walked into Stephanie's office, "Steph, I heard what happened, I'm really sorry Stephanie, if I didn't come in to the WWE, none of this would have happened! Maybe at Bad Blood I can face Roddy Piper.. and -"

Stephanie cut him off - "And what? have my father screw you out of it like he screwed Shawn out of the match last week!? Don't you think that I have thought about this at least more then once Mr. America? I tried! I tried to think of ways to get my father back or not marry Roddy at all! I don't know what to do! Vince always finds a way to get me back no matter what! And you know, it might actually not be that bad," Stephanie shrugged. "I mean, it's not like Roddy is going to make me his sex slave or anything.." Stephanie let out a soft laugh, "Like that'll ever happen" she mumbled.

Mr. America couldn't help but laugh, he walked over to Stephanie's desk and sat on the edge of it, "Stephanie, even though you don't think it would be "that bad" I know you deserve better. I mean.. even Shawn Michaels, and I don't really care for the guy but .." he was then cut off by a familiar voice.

"Did I just hear my name?," Shawn grinned as he entered the room. He was dressed as usual, in cowboy boots, blue jeans, and a t-shirt with his hair pulled back. Stephanie smiled as she stood up and walked over to him, hugging him tightly. Mr. America smiled, "Well I'll leave you two alone, I'll talk to you later Stephanie.." Mr. America waved and then left her office.

"How have you been Stephanie?," Shawn asked with a polite smile. "Just fine Shawn, I just.. you know...," Stephanie shrugged.

"Yeah, I know, I was sitting close enough to see all the expressions on that beautiful face of yours when Roddy said "I do" and ... ( Shawn paused ) Stephanie, I can't stand by and see you in pain. It hurts me," Shawn put his hand on his chest where his heart is. "It really does," he took her in his arms and rubbed her hair, "I love you Stephanie," he spoke softly to her. Her eyes went wide as she heard him speak those words to her and she pulled away from him, "I'm sorry Shawn, I .." her eyes filled up with tears.

She then heard a knock on her door. "Come in!," she called out. She walked over to Shawn and put her hand on his arm, looking deep into his eyes she smiled at him, assuring him that she would be fine. Then Roddy walked in and saw Stephanie and Shawn there together. He walked up to her and put his arm around her waist.

"Hello Shawn, so very nice to see you! How have you been? I noticed you chatting with my wife," he grinned. Shawn hung his head low, "Everything is great Roddy, and yes I was talking to your wife which I do have the right to do. But.." Shawn got closer to him until they made eye contact, "I plan on taking her away from you. Far away Roddy, and even though she is married to you, that doesn't mean I can't make my move!," This time Shawn smiled happily then looked over at Stephanie, "I'll see you later darlin'," he winked at her then turned his back to Roddy Piper and left Stephanie's office.

"What are you doing here?," Stephanie asked Roddy with an annoyed tone in her voice. "What? I can't drop by and see my wife now and then? I don't have the right to?," he asked with a coy smile. Stephanie still got chills when he called her his wife, she didn't know exactly how to react in a witty or even bitchy way toward him without endangering her reputation or even her job. Roddy then pulled out a single rose and presented it to Stephanie, "For you, my dear," he smiled. She had to admit, it was a nice gesture, but after she took it and placed it on her desk she went right back to looking over the night's events she had written down. "What's the matter beautiful?" he asked her, sitting on her couch and looking at her from a distance. "Roddy, look, if things were different, and I had my way, I wouldn't be married to you right now. I would probably be dating Shawn! I was starting to have some feelings for you but then my father had to step in and do something about my personal life! And he threatened my job along with it! I just.. I don't know what it is that I really want right now, but I know that I want to keep my job.. now if you'll excuse me, I have some work to do," she let out a deep breath as to say thank god I finally let that out.

Roddy stood up and then adjusted his jacket, "Okay, I can tell when I'm not wanted, so I'll see you at the hotel later tonight then?," he asked. Stephanie didn't even look up at him, she just continued writing down different matches for the night. "I'll take that as a yes!" he smiled then left the room. Stephanie put her pencil down and sat back in her chair. It's going to be a long night, she thought.

* - Back at the hotel - *

Stephanie just got out of the shower, she put her nightgown on and slipped into bed, as she drifted off to a deep sleep she heard someone place a key in her hotel room door and allow themselves in. She sat up in her bed and looked up to find Roddy Piper standing there. "Honey.. I'm home!" he called out to her as he locked the door behind him. He looked over at her in the bed and smiled, "You look amazing.." he grinned, "I'll be right back hunny, you just wait there for me.." he walked into the bathroom and Stephanie laid on the bed. She heard the water running in the shower as she turned on to her right side, closing her eyes once more.

Once Roddy got out of the shower he dried himself off then walked over to the bed, he crawled in and placed his arms around Stephanie's waist. Stephanie pulled away, scooting more toward the left side of the bed. He got closer to her, kissing her shoulder and her neck but she pulled away again. This time he placed his hand up her nightgown and tried to feel her up, Stephanie turned around and hit him on the head with a pillow, "Would you stop that!?" she demanded. He laughed, "oh come on! You can't dress like that for bed and not want to get any.." he joked with her, but she didn't find any of it amusing. "Well, your naked! And that is the last thing I want to see, especially before I go to sleep!" she tried not to look at him. "Come on.. I promise I won't tell Sean O'Haire if that's what your thinking.." he smiled as he got closer to her again, kissing her neck. Damn he's reluctant, she thought to herself. This time she took her pillow and hit him harder on the head then before, "let.. me.. sleep.." she demanded as she pulled the pillow back under her head and closed her eyes.

Roddy rolled his eyes and then scooted even closer to her, wrapping his arms around her curvy waist and resting his head against her pillow. She struggled to get out of his grasp and in result felt out of the bed.

This time she was furious. "I told you to leave me alone!" she screamed. Roddy gave her his best innocent look, "I was only trying to hold you! After you hit me on the head with the pillow twice I did get the clue you know!"

She sighed then got back into the bed, "Alright, but if you try to fondle me in any way shape or form .." she started.

"yes, I know, you'll attack me with your evil pillow.." he smiled as he held her close to him. He had to admit, she was feisty, but he enjoyed every minute of it.

Stephanie slowly started to drift off to sleep, she knew when she woke up she'd have to find some way to get in the shower without waking him up, she didn't know what he would attempt to do just to try and get in the shower with her, let alone make excuses to.

Author Note: good? yes, no? I thought the whole pillow thing was funny. I could just imagine Stephanie smacking him over the head with a pillow for trying to feel her up. *LOL* I know some parts in here weren't exactly that great but I had to fit it together. Thank you to those who are reviewing!
