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 hadn't talked to Shawn about the situation at the hotel room at all since then. If she even brought it up he'd change the subject quickly, or just ignore her and not speak to her until the next day. Stephanie began to realize how difficult Shawn truly was and how he was never like this when they were strictly friends.

"Shawn, we need to talk...," he grabbed him by the arm and pulled him to the corner of the arena near her office, "I don't think we should-," she began but Shawn cut her off, "No, don't even think about saying what I think you're about to say Stephanie. I'm not going to give up on us. Not unless you hate my guts and want me to stay the hell away from you that is..," his sarcastic side showed, trying to make a funny remark, but Stephanie wasn't laughing.

"Okay Shawn, but -" she tried to explain the situation back at the hotel but Shawn cut her off once more.

"But nothing princess.. how about tonight I face your ex husband in a no holds barred match? Would that be pleasing to you?," Shawn smirked.

Stephanie laughed, "Which ex husband?," she joked.

Shawn laughed, "you're recent one," his smile turned to a straight face as he was trying to show her how serious he was.

"I .. don't think... that would be a good idea Shawn..," Stephanie tried to talk him out of it.

"Why not?," he asked her, completely confused on why she wouldn't want him to fight her ex.

"Well, it's because... it wouldn't be good for your career Shawn, I mean, you've already faced a lot of great superstars and if my memory serves me correctly, you.. already.. faced Roddy Piper?," she gave Shawn the look of desperation.

He just smiled at her, "Ok, I won't fight Roddy.. besides, you and I both know I'd kick his ass so bad he would wish he never heard the name Shawn Michaels," Shawn hugged her tightly and Stephanie sighed, trying not to blurt out how she truly felt about that.

The next few weeks were very excruciating for Stephanie, she and Shawn would get into bitter arguments over the business, their relationship, and mostly about Shawn's attitude. Stephanie would every now and then go talk to Roddy when Shawn wasn't around, to make sure he was doing alright and if he wanted any matches made for himself or Sean O'Haire, but Stephanie never brought up their marriage, it would only make Roddy change the subject or blame Shawn.

Stephanie knocked on Roddy's locker room. This would be the second time she tried to talk to him tonight and he wasn't answering the door. Finally she walked in and looked around. She saw the newest edition of WWE magazine with her on the front cover and the poster spread on his couch, she smiled and then turned as she heard the door shut behind her.

Roddy looked at her with a concerned expression on his face, "What are you doing in here? Is there something you need?," Roddy asked getting closer to her.

"Well umm..," Stephanie put the magazine down and walked over to him, "I just wanted to tell you that for your addition of Piper's Pitt tonight I thought that maybe you'd like to have Mick Foley on it since he will be returning to the ring soon, but it was just an idea..," she looked away.

Roddy knew that wasn't the real reason why she was in here, he got closer to her and tried to get her to look him in the eyes, but every time she looked at him she would try to look away at something else.

"What's wrong?," he asked her, finally. "I know that's not the real reason you're here.. did you come to talk to me about something?," he smiled a bit.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Stephanie began to walk off, but Roddy grabbed her by the arm gently.

"Stephanie, what's going on. You can tell me," he pleaded with Stephanie.

Stephanie looked into his eyes for a moment, realizing how much he truly cared about her, "Roddy, I never wanted to -"

"You two done in here? Roddy, Piper's Pitt is next, we gotta get ready man," Sean called out to him in the middle of the doorway.

Roddy hung his head low and then touched Stephanie's arm, "We will continue this later," he smiled then touched her cheek gently.

Stephanie looked at him with her big blue eyes and he wished more then anything that he could kiss her right now, but instead he walked over to Sean and motioned for him to go.

"So, Roddy, is there going to be a McMahon-Piper reunion? Or ...," Sean smiled at Roddy and Roddy didn't even smirk, "I don't know Sean, but I hope that if there is, the sooner, the better."

Author Note: I love Roddy! Lol. Ok that isn't much of an author note. I know that this is kinda depressing the way that a few of the chapters have been but trust me, some light-hearted chapters will be up soon! Did anyone see Roddy Piper on the man show last night? LOL I just saw part of it but it was hilarious! He was part of the "Wheel of Destiny" and the option was "Wrassle Roddy" and I was like hmm.. *smirk* I'd love to wrestle Roddy.. lol ;-) Anyways, hope everyone is liking the story so far and there is more chapters to come!
