He paced the room. He didn't know what was going to happen tonight but he didn't think it would be good. The way she had sounded wasn't good at all. She seemed nervous like she was scared of how he would feel. Hell, he was scared about how he was going to feel.
Vince McMahon wouldn't admit it, but he was scared that he knew what Stephanie's big surprise was going to be. He was scared that she would have fallen head over heels for that Fred Ward. It wasn't that Vince didn't like Fred; it's just that he was scared that Fred would bring Stephanie down with the weight of his problems. And from the looks of him, he seemed to be carrying a ton of bricks.
Vince stopped pacing for a moment and looked up to the clock. It was 5:45. Stephanie had said that they would get there at around 6:00. The time was close at hand and with it, Stephanie's big surprise.
_-^-_
Fred sat in Stephanie's limousine as they drove to the Fresno arena. He was very nervous about the encounter that was guaranteed to ensue when they arrived. Vince was confirmed to be there at the arena because Stephanie had called him.
"It'll be ok," Stephanie said reassuringly, stilling his once twitching leg.
She laid her head on Fred's chest and cuddled close. He calmed under her presence. She seemed to have that effect whenever he was close to her. He stilled himself and hugged her to him. He loved having her in his arms. It felt like this was where they were supposed to be.
Although Fred fought them valiantly, his thoughts returned and in full force. He wondered what Stephanie's families reaction would be when their little baby girl brought home a strange and troubled man home with her. Fred being a noted pessimist at times, thought the worst. Would they yell at Fred about him not being good enough for Stephanie? Would they disown Stephanie for bringing him? He hoped not. That was the one thing that he wouldn't be able to bear, tearing Stephanie's family apart.
Fred was suddenly pulled away from his doomful thoughts when the limousine came to a stop. He looked out the window and saw the arena looming in front of them. Fred got out and offered his hand to Steph. She took it graciously and lifted herself out of the limo. Stephanie made a move to go to the arena but was pulled back into a passionate kiss by Fred. She did not resist, instead she kissed him with the same amount of passion. After a minute they pulled away.
"What was that for?" Stephanie asked and she let Fred hug her tight.
"Just in case it's the last one," Fred said through the hug.
Stephanie pulled out and put his hand in hers.
"It won't be. I promise you," Stephanie said in a serious tone.
Fred smiled weakly and led her to the arena. They walked in hand in hand, ready to face what was to come together.
_-^-_
Paul walked around the arena searching. He had to find her. He had looked in all of the obvious places but she didn't seem to be here yet. He had to find her. It was vital because he was going to tell her tonight. He was going to tell Stephanie McMahon how much he loved her and wanted to be with her. Even though it was a big pile of bullshit.
Paul went back to his locker room leaving his door wide open in case he could see her. Maybe he had to go over the plan one more time. He was going to pull Stephanie into a deserted corridor and confess to her all of his feelings. About the fact that he loved her and how he would never love anyone as much as her. Blah blah blah. Just a bunch of bullshit to get her to go out with him.
Because if she went out with him, if the boss's daughter was going out with Paul, that meant he could reap the benefits. Small things like new furniture and higher pay to start, but then he would move on to the big things and his ultimate prize. The World Heavyweight Championship. The thing he wanted more than anything. And he would destroy anyone he had to get it. He would even go out with Stephanie McMahon and endure that hell for it.
He knew that she would be free. He had made sure of that last week when he had asked her if she was going out with anyone. It was only a week ago and there was no way she would have gotten with someone at that time.
Paul noticed movement at his door and he turned from his thoughts and focused his attention to it. He caught Stephanie's face just as she went past the door. He jumped up and went quickly to the door and looked out. What he saw shocked, astonished, and angered him. Stephanie was walking hand in hand with someone he had never seen before. Some guy who had no business with her. Some guy who just screwed up all of his planning!
_-^-_
Fred was as nervous as ever. As he and Stephanie walked the halls, superstars would stop what they were doing and turn to see Stephanie's new honey. They all looked shocked but wouldn't approach them. They turned a corner and saw Vince's locker room at the end of the current corridor.
But before they could walk down and enter, they were stopped by the voice of someone they both recognized.
"Well what do we have here? The princess has found herself a victim finally. So what did you choose young sir? Having your still beating heart ripped out, or being tied to a crucifix so everyone could see?" said the tall blond Canadian.
"Shut up Chris," Stephanie said before letting go of Fred and hugging Jericho.
"Nice to meet you," Chris said sticking out his hand to Fred after him and Stephanie were done hugging.
"Hello, nice to meet you as well," Fred said taking his hand and shaking it vigorously. Although he seemed calm on the outside, on the inside he was jumping around and dancing screaming 'I just met Chris Jericho!'
"So who might you be?"
"I'm Fred Ward."
"Ok, and what are you to the lovely Stephanie McMahon here."
Stephanie entered into the conversation then, "He's my boyfriend of course."
"Ah, so you chose the crucifixion."
"Be quiet you, we have to go speak with my father so we'll see you later?"
"Ok, bye."
"Bye," Stephanie and Fred said in unison.
They turned around and made their way towards Vince's locker room. It was time to confront Stephanie's father. It was now or never. They arrived right at the door and stopped. They just stood there.
"Well here goes," Fred said weakly.
Stephanie stopped his hand and held it in both of hers.
"It will be ok. My father will love you. Don't worry," Stephanie said soothingly, rubbing his hand.
Fred nodded, turned the doorknob and stepped inside.
