"Aren't we there yet?"
"Lita! Do I really have to say 'no', again?" Kurt snapped from his position in the driver's seat. Honestly, the diva really knew how to annoy the hell out of a person. She'd been asking the same question every five minutes for the past half-hour! Edge however, seemed to be amused by this and kindly added to Kurt's torture by playing a game, which required him to flick the radio station every time he saw a road sign.
"Soo-rry!" Lita said in a tone of voice that clearly stated that she wasn't indeed sorry at all.
"We're on a six hour drive and we've been on the road for an hour.you do the math." Kurt informed her, sarcasm lacing his voice. Lita's eyes widened slightly, as she didn't know Kurt had it in him to be witty and sarcastic. Oh well, she also thought he'd been working with Heyman. Her husband hadn't told her that he'd somehow convinced the Olympic Gold Medallist to turn on his own 'manager'.
"Here it is Angle," Edge pointed to a very modern looking motel through his window and Kurt nodded, pulling the car into the half full parking lot.
Lita didn't try to pretend not to be confused. "Didn't you just say we had another five hours on the road?" She scrunched up her nose and she followed the two wrestlers as they left the car. She took another look around, "Guys this isn't the place, where the hell are we?"
"Just meeting a couple of .uh.friends," Edge grinned. Lita frowned as Kurt and Edge, swiftly removed all of the bags from the boot of the car and made their way over to a hefty looking jeep. The boot was already open and they proceeded to load the bags into it one by one.
"What are you doing? Whose car is this?" The Woman's Champion just wished they would tell her what the hell was going on. She stared at them as they stayed silent and opened the back passenger seat doors on either side of the car, Kurt jumping inside and Edge holding the door open for her. She glared at the tall blond before getting in herself, and Edge sat down beside her.
"Hey," Came a cheerful familiar voice from the driver's seat and Lita smirked as two pairs of blue eyes greeted her.
"What are you two doing here?" She smiled at them and then glanced from Edge to Kurt and added, "What are they doing here? Did you tell them we were going to Smackdown?"
"Yeah I thought it'd be best if you had more backup. You never know what kind of stunt Stephanie McMahon may pull." Edge rolled his eyes at the thought of the 'billion dollar princess'. Stephanie probably thought that Lita was too beat up to even make it to Smackdown. How surprised she was going to be when Lita not only turned up, but also came with company.
"Yeah, that's why we left early last night at the hospital. Once we knew you were fine, Edge told us to get our things and a car, and meet you guys here." Christian explained as he started the engine and drove the jeep back onto the road.
"You two came to the hospital last night?" The diva asked with raised eyebrows clearly surprised that they'd bothered or even cared.
"Course we did, 'cos we like you Li, and you didn't deserve what you got last night." Jericho winked at her over the car seat and she grinned.
"Aww, you hear that boys, they like me," Lita said to Edge and Kurt in a playful tone as she swatted them both on the arm.
"Ow," they whined in unison. Lita frowned, not because she'd hit the two wrestlers, but because she'd just picked up on something that Christian had said only a moment ago. "Uh.Edge? How did you know I would be going to Smackdown? I mean you must have known last night, to send Christian and Jericho out here to meet us?" The diva pointed out, eyeing the Canadian in question with curiosity.
"Because I know what you're like sweetie. As soon as the doctor told us you were okay, then I knew you'd be going to Smackdown. I know that you don't give up and that you keep fighting back. Never letting anyone think that they've won and that you're weak. Always the strong one.right Lita?" Edge met the former redhead's gaze for a long moment, neither breaking the eye contact. Christian and Jericho exchanged a quick glance, leaving it up to Kurt to break the tension.
"So what's the plan when we get there? Do we hide out until Smackdown? Or do we just let everyone know we're there?" Angle asked, rubbing the back of his head. Lita turned and glanced at him, looking slightly confused for a moment and then nodded.
"Uh.yeah that sounds good.let's do that." She swallowed as Kurt threw her a strange look. She hadn't exactly answered his question, but he wasn't all that bothered. All he knew was that he was going to kick ass on Smackdown and that he was going to enjoy doing it.
"So Lita? What's it like having Bischoff as a father?" Lita raised her eyebrows at Jericho's random question, inwardly groaning and hoping that there wouldn't be more of them coming anytime soon. She didn't exactly want to tell the man her entire life story. Chris grinned as if reading her mind and saying for just mere pleasure-.
"Don't worry babe, take your time. We've got about five hours on the road and I want to know everything."

"You did what?" Shane McMahon almost screamed at his little sister as she proudly told him what she'd spoken to Eric Bischoff about just a few minutes ago, over the phone. There was no going back now, and with only three days until Judgement Day. If only he'd known about this sooner.
"You heard me Shane," She smiled at the outraged look on Shane's face, crossing her arms defiantly across her chest, "I can't possibly lose."
"Okay so let me get this straight. You've issued challenge to Bischoff at Judgement Day, Raw versus Smackdown in every match."
".And every match will be for a title. So the great Triple H will take on Brock Lesner, and the winner of that match will become the Undisputed Champion. The Tag-team Championships will be merged together. The Women's, the Intercontinental, and the Light-heavyweight Championships will also be on the line. I'm even going to bring back the Hardcore Championship." Stephanie was literally beaming but her brother still seemed unconvinced of her brilliant idea.
"And the main event?" He wanted to know. She hadn't yet mentioned that.
"The main event will be a team of six Smackdown superstars, taking on a team of six Raw superstars in an elimination match, and if -sorry- when Smackdown win, then I will become the General Manager of both shows." Oh yeah, she'd thought it all through. She knew exactly whom she'd pick for her team, and there was no way they would be beaten by Raw, especially with the referee she had planned for the match.
"And you think Eric Bischoff will agree to this?" The eldest sibling asked. Stephanie sighed then shrugged.
"I hope so. I've invited him to Smackdown tonight and he's on his way as we speak. That way we can announce the matches on air."
Shane frowned at what his sister said, and then a slow smile crept its way onto his face. "Sounds like one hell of a pay-per-view," he smirked, and a had a thought "And dad's okay with this?"
"Of course, dad thinks it's brilliant idea. He's just been a little preoccupied the last couple of days, something about a contract he signed." Stephanie rolled her eyes and took a seat in the nearest chair. Shane raised his eyebrows curiously and sat down opposite her.
"A contract? For what?"
"That's the thing, he has no idea. Someone- and he wouldn't say who- brought him a contract and said it was for Mr America, but it couldn't have been. Anyway, I don't know all the details, but apparently the person was someone dad trusted and he has no idea what he signed because he wasn't looking or something," The woman shrugged obviously not interested in the least. Shane didn't say anything and waited for his sister to continue. "However Shane, that doesn't concern me, I have a pay-per-view to organise. At least dad said he would be there, and that he would be the special guest referee for the main event." She smiled, at the surprised look on her brother's face.
"You really have it all figured out don't you?" Shane shook his head, really beginning to wonder why she'd asked him here just to tell him her plans for Judgement Day.
"And there's something I need you to do Shane." Stephanie said, giving him the 'You're the best big brother in the world' look. He should have known.
"What's that?"
"I want you to be the special guest referee in one of the matches." She grinned and Shane frowned, "I want you to be there when I kick Lita's ass and become the new Women's Champion."
"Lita! Do I really have to say 'no', again?" Kurt snapped from his position in the driver's seat. Honestly, the diva really knew how to annoy the hell out of a person. She'd been asking the same question every five minutes for the past half-hour!
