5:00-6:00PM

**5:00** After a long period of silence between them, Chris began to chuckle a little bit.

"What?" Stephanie asked him, "What's so funny?"

"Oh, I was just thinking; it's not funny, it's kind of ironic actually." Chris told her.

"Well, spill the story." She told him. He glanced at her, then stared straight ahead.

"The day of the accident, I had been looking all over Stamford for the perfect.....well, the perfect engagement ring." He said. Stephanie's jaw dropped. "I was so tense about saying the right thing........I was so afraid of rejection...... When I was pinned in that car.....I prayed that.....that you were okay, so that when this was all over, I could build up my courage and try to ask you again." He looked down and kicked a clump of dirt at his feet, fully aware of Stephanie's eyes upon him. He had begun to lose his humor in this.

"But, it never came back to that chance. I stuck the ring in my wallet by your picture. It's been there all this time......I see it every time that I open my wallet for something. It reminded me of what I had lost to him." He paused. "Would you like to see it? It was for you anyways. You deserve to see it after all of the babbling I've done." Chris said, fishing out his wallet as they stopped walking for a moment. He pulled the ring out of the groove that it had made from two years of being in his wallet, and handed it to her.

**5:10** "My God, Chris, it's beautiful." Stephanie remarked. Granted, it was smaller than her wedding ring from Hunter, but the design of the diamond on Chris' ring was much more beautiful. She looked on the inside of the ring. Something was inscribed on the inside of the ring. Stephanie read it out loud as they started walking again.

"'To Stephy, my one true love. C.I.'" she read. She realized how much pain that he had gone through because of her. If she had been him, she would've gone nuts, or been completely furious, but he kept all of that bottled inside of him. It made her feel horrible.

"Chris, that is so sweet," Stephanie said, stopping him to plant a kiss on his lips. When they broke the kiss, she moved her wedding ring to her other hand. "I'm not married to Hunter anymore. Your ring deserves to be here." She said, putting Chris' ring on her left hand. Chris smiled softly at her. Tears were brimming in both their eyes.

"I'm glad you like it." He said, as he continued to walk on. She quickly followed him and linked their hands together.

**5:16** Jay and Torrie were on their way to the weight room, when they spied Linda McMahon coming down the hallway.

"Hello, Mrs. McMahon." Jay and Torrie said together. Linda smiled.

"Hello Jay, Torrie. Have you seen Vince around here anywhere?" She asked them.

"No I haven't we just got here, but I'm pretty sure Shane is here." Jay said.

"Oh, OK, is he in the VIP room?"

"Yeah, I think so," Torrie answered.

"Well, thank you." Linda said.

"No problem." Jay said, then they continued on their separate ways.

**5:19** "Tell me what you know, Shawn, and the pain will stop." Mark said. Shawn winced and rested his head on the floor.

"Where is Vince McMahon?" Mark demanded.

"In hell, rotting his sorry ass away." Shawn whispered.

"Wrong answer." Mark said, and produced a pocketknife.

**5:23** Chris and Stephanie walked along the tree line, running their hands through the tall grass.

"I think that this very long day, and this long walk, have helped us out a lot." Stephanie said. Chris smiled.

"Hmmmm....since you said 'us' does that mean that I might get a date out of you after this day is over?" he asked, his smile changing to a smirk. Stephanie smiled.

"I'd say that's a pretty safe bet." She told him.

"Well, I'll make another bet on you...." he said, stopping. They faced each other, and Chris began to lean in towards her.

"What's that?" she asked leaning in towards him as well.

"I bet...." He whispered, then suddenly dropped her hand and took off running, "That I'll beat you to that tree down there!!" he yelled. Stephanie took off after him.

"Oh yeah?" she yelled nearing him. He turned his head to look at her.

"Yeah!!" he sneered comically. They were almost to the tree, and Chris was in the lead. Stephanie gave out. Chris slowed his pace and put his hands on the tree.

"Ha!" he said, completely out of breath. "Told you....that...I'd beat you...." he panted. Stephanie made her way over to him.

"Well, I bet that you weren't counting on this..." Stephanie trailed off.

"Wha-" Chris started to ask, but got cut off by Stephanie pulling him in for a kiss. She snaked her arms around him and he hesitantly wrapped his arms around her. He broke the kiss for a moment.

"You know that doing this will put us way behind schedule..." Chris said, smiling at her, and she knew that he no longer gave a damn about getting there on time.

"I don't care. Kiss me again." Stephanie told him, and he obliged. He slowly began to lower her to the ground.....

**5:32** Linda walked into the VIP room. Shane was lying on the couch, muttering to himself.

"Shane, where is your father?" Linda asked. Shane jumped up off of the couch.

"Uh...hi Mom." Shane said, walking over to her.

"Don't play with me, Shane. Where is Vince?" Shane's face became darker.

"He...He was killed Mom. He was at that hospital that exploded earlier today." Linda took a deep breath.

"Why was he there?"

"Because Chris Irvine and Stephanie were there."

"Are they okay?"

"They're fine, they're on their way here now."

**5:46** "Good, did you tell anyone here what has happened?" Linda asked.

"No."

"Good call. We don't want a panic around here and we don't need rumors. I'll take care of this."

"OK, Mom." Shane said, as Bischoff walked in.

"Uh, sorry to interrupt, but I think that there's something you need to see." He said. Flipping on the TV.

"-plane has apparently crashed in the middle of an open field about 20 miles from Stamford, Connecticut. The plane apparently belongs to the World Wrestling Entertainment company due to the logo on the side of the plane. There has been no word as to whether or not there are any survivors..."

"Shit, I bet that Chris and Stephanie were on their way back in that." Shane said. Linda struggled not to cry. Neither noticed Bischoff's huge smile at the news that Chris Irvine and Stephanie might have finally met their deaths. He wiped the smile away quickly.

"I think that it is time to tell everyone, Mom. I'll be right back." Shane said, then left. No one saw the look that passed between Eric and Linda.

**5:54** Chris swatted lazily at a mosquito on his chest. He smiled and sighed. Stephanie was lying right next to him, with his arm securely around her shoulders. He shook her a little bit.

"Steph, baby, wake up."

"But, I haven't even slept yet!!" she whined, not opening her eyes.

"I know, I haven't either, but we need to get moving. It's almost 6 o'clock." Stephanie groaned and sat up. She grabbed his shirt that she had been wearing for the entire day and pulled it over her head. Chris stood up and pulled his jeans back on. He sat back down and pulled on his sneakers. Stephanie scooted over to him in her sweatpants and began to pull on her shoes as well.

"You look lovely in my sweats, you know that?" Stephanie rolled her eyes. He smirked and pulled his shirt over his head.

"I'll bet." She said, "I wish I had-"

"Shhhhhh!!! Do you hear that?" Chris whispered suddenly. Stephanie stopped and listened. They both stood up.

**5:59** "A helicopter!!!! The plane crash has landed the news!!!!!" Chris yelled. Stephanie's jaw dropped and her eyes lit up.

"Oh my God, we can make it there sooner than we thought!!!!" Stephanie squealed with joy.

"Over here!!!! Hey!!! OVER HERE!!!!!" Chris shouted as they both waved their hands in the air. The helicopter turned in their direction and began to descend. On the side of the helicopter was the channel 5 news logo.

Things were looking bright once again.
