Panic Room.

What else is there to say?

The next day….

The warehouse was empty. The 'experiment' was over and the everyone, every member of the crew had left and there was an eerie silence all around, the Panic Room door had not been closed and it remained flung open to reveal the dark square room, although it wasn't as dark as when it started because of the paintings which brought a small amount of life into the interior. The bedding and all the other stuff had been taken out, memories of the presence of Chris and Stephanie were quickly being diminished, which was why Chris just wanted one final look….

He walked as quietly as he could into the warehouse, to the entrance of the Panic Room, his feet thumped as he entered a new density and he brushed the steel door with his fingertips. It was weird, he had been so excited about finally getting out that he didn't really have a chance to say goodbye to the room but now he was here, he wondered, what was there to say goodbye to?

Just some painted walls and chalk lines. It didn't mean anything, he had his money that was what it had been for, wasn't it? He looked at the floor, seeing the chalk lines of Steph's sundial and the line, which had drawn to separate them, giving each other 'allocated areas'. They didn't really stick to that., thinking about it. He continued to look along the floor an it is in doing this, he found chalky. Lying in the corner, a bit smaller than he remembered lay a little piece of chalk. He picked up happily and threw it up and down in his hand, reliving the last time he had chalky.

"Hiya mate, I'm guess I'm back." He laughed, walking up and down.  "Not sure why though, I mean it's just a room but man it feels like I've spent a lifetime in here, feels like I'm saying goodbye to an old home, but guess I can go get on with my life now, I am Undisputed Champion after all, Living Legend Chris Jericho, it feels good to say that, I tell you." He joked, throwing it up once more, he thought for a moment looking around the room. "I wonder where Steph is now? Hey chalky? Probably with precious Hunter living her high life."

"Don't count on it," said a different and almost refreshing voice.

Chris turned round and he found himself smiling even though it didn't want to at the sight of Stephanie McMahon.

"Oh my God, is that a smile?" She asked as she stepped into the room towards him.

"No it's a mocking sneer." He said unconvincingly. "Now what the hell you doing here?"

"Probably the same reason as you, to say goodbye."

"So?"

"So…..you and chalky catching up then?"

"Very funny." Chris sneered. "Why aren't you with Hunter?"

"I sneaked out."

"Awww….dangerous." said Chris sarcastically.

"Nothing changed with you then."

"Nope, why would it?"

"Stupid question," muttered Stephanie. "I don't know why, but I think I'm gonna miss this place, it was kinda a laugh, wasn't it?"

"A laugh! You kidding me!" Chris grimaced.

"Oh come on, you must have enjoyed something about it…"

"Pelting you with potatoes was quite good." Laughed Chris, invisuailling the memory in his head.

"Sorry I asked." Stephanie moaned.

"Any other questions?" asked Chris in an annoyed tone.

There was a moment's silence and Chris predicted that Stephanie didn't have any other questions and he began to walk away until her screeching voice was heard once more.

"Actually I do!" She screeched, trying to grab Chris' attention.

"What?"

"Is this it?"

"What do you mean, is this it?"

"What happens with us?"

"Us?"

"For gods sake Chris, what will happen with us? Are we just going to go back to normal, you insulting me every chance you got, sworn enemies forever, hows it going to be?"

"I don't know." Shrugged Chris.

"Have your feelings changed at all?"

"I don't know." Chris replied again.

"I don't know! What kind of answer is that?"

"Ok, I won't insult you anymore, Ill just carry on my life and you can carry on your life, is that what you want?"

"No." said Stephanie quietly looking down at the floor.

"Well what do you want? For Gods Sake, you know I aint got all day, just tell what you want…" Chris shouted angrily.

"Don't shouting at me!" She shouted back.

"You the one shouting at me!"

"Did you ever think for one minute, that I might have something important to tell you, something that is really hard for me, could you just stop thinking about yourself for one moment….cause for once I just want to have a normal…."

Stephanie was suddenly stopped as Chris put his hands on her cheeks and kissed her straight on the lips, silencing any words that were about to come out. When he finally released, Stephanie just stood there staring at him, utterly speechless.

"Well that shut you up." Said Chris. He waited till Stephanie's face relaxed and then he asked, "Now, answer the question, what do you want?"

Chris already knew the answer, which was why he kissed her. But he wanted to hear it from her, just so his feelings could be confirmed, because he knew he felt the same way.

"I want you." She said quietly.

"I kinda guessed that." Said Chris looking at her.

"That's romantic" said Stephanie sarcastically. "So did you feel the same way?"

"Steph do you really see us as a couple?"

"I know we are like total opposites, and you annoy the hell out of me and I know we argue all the time but…."

"There's no-one I wouldn't rather argue with." Said Chris completing her sentence.

They kissed and embraced once more, together they had that raw passion and connection that neither of them had left before and they didn't want to let go.

"Your such a slut." Chris joked. "But a good slut."

"So how am I'm going to tell Hunter…"

"We'll think of something." Replied Chris. "The question is….how are the rest of the world going to react?"

"Oh I think it was obvious from the start,  it just took us the Panic Room figure it out. In fact that's probably why they did in the first place, god I hate it when there right, they are all gonna feel so smug that they…"

"Don't you ever shut up?" asked Chris, he was only joking of course as he smiled at his true love.

"On occasions," smirked Stephanie. She nearly pushed him to the floor as she jumped up, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him happily once more….

The End.
