The room seemed to lay still, the feeling of a slow motion movie scene
filed it. Chris Jericho opened his eyes in shock, he had heard a gunshot,
but he wasn't dead. He looked up to see Keith pointing the gun right at
him, but he was looking over his shoulder to the side. Chris slowly
followed his gaze and froze at what he saw. It was Vince McMahon and the
SmackDown gang. They had made it after all!
"Guys!" Was all he could manage to choke out happily.
"Chris, you're ok." Stephanie McMahon gasped.
"Steph, look out!" Chris called.
"Hu?" She turned to see Lisa.
"Well, if it isn't daddy's little girl."
"Look whose talking."
Stephanie jumped on Lisa and they began to catfight. Everyone, even Keith, watched.
"Hulkster, go help Chris." Vince instructed. "Jeff, Rikishi, get Keith."
"Right." Everyone ran to their place.
Keith was so shocked at seeing Lisa and Stephanie go at it, that he didn't realize that Jeff Hardy and Rikishi had attacked him. He looked around and saw the two holding him back. Hulk Hogan had gone over and untied Chris.
"Thanks." He stood up and let the rope fall off of him.
"Chris, are you ok?" Vince came over.
"Yea, fine." Chris turned his attention to Keith and Lisa.
Lisa wasn't a wrestler and hadn't trained like Stephanie had, so Steph was able to beat her down easily. Hogan went over and picked the battered girl up and held her up next to the captive Keith. Chris and Vince approached them, staring coldly at them.
"So, you organized this whole thing to try and kill Chris." Stephanie pouted. "I can't believe that."
"We wanted to get even with you, McMahon's." Keith spat angrily. "You ruined our lives after your competition led us down the drain and then you took us over. When you bought us out we were out of a job, out of money, out of our lives. We had nothing, you took it all away from us."
"Well, that's the business world." Vince folded his arms.
"Why didn't you just get a new job so then you could have money again?" Hogan asked.
"The wrestling business was our lives." Lisa growled weakly in his arms. "When that was taken away, no matter how hard we tried, no matter how much blood, sweat and tears we put into trying to build a new company up from the ground, we failed. Nothing could compete with you, you were at the stop. You still are and always will be."
"Like I said, that's the business world." Vince said again. Lisa and Keith moaned.
"And this is the real world. For attempted murder one, you get the same justice as your two minion lackeys, Dan and Carlos, the death penalty." Chris ran a finger across his neck.
Stephanie had called the police on her cell phone and they arrived on the scene in a flash. Soon Keith and Lisa were in custody and carted off away to prison. As soon as the superstars had explained everything to the cops, they left. Chris was finally safe and alone with his friends.
"Oh Chris." Stephanie jumped onto him. "I'm so glad that you're ok."
"You have no idea how it makes me feel either." He joked.
"Come on guys, we'd better get back to the hotel and tell everyone the great news." Vince smiled.
Everyone headed back to the hotel and soon everyone in the WWE knew the good news. The gang was exausted from such an adventure, so they fell asleep right after. The next morning, everyone woke up to see Chris watching the news.
"Hey guys, look at what's on." He smiled and moved aside from the television set.
"Lisa and Keith, the masterminds behind the attempted murder and prison break of convicted killers Carlos and Dan in the New England area, are in custody today. Like Carlos, they have been sentenced to death. But because of the prison break from Carlos and Dan a few weeks ago, the sentence will not be carried out on Friday, but tonight. They have been put in a maximum security chamber so a break out will not take place. We will bring you more news tonight after the execution."
"Isn't that great!" Chris turned off the TV.
"Oh Chris, it's over, it's finally over!" Stephanie wrapped her arms around him.
"And now that we can put all this mess behind us, now the fun can begin."
"Fun?"
"Stephanie." Chris got down on one knee. "Will you marry me?" Everyone gasped as he presented a ring.
"Oh my god, Chris." Stephanie was shocked. "Yes, I will!" They hugged and everyone clapped and cheered.
Not too long later.
"Chris Jericho, do you take Stephanie McMahon to be your wife?"
"I do."
"Stephanie McMahon, do you take Chris Jericho to be your husband?"
"I do."
"Then by the power vested in me, you are now husband and wife."
It was a beautiful wedding. Both the Raw and SmackDown gangs had come. As Chris and Steph kissed, Linda and Vince McMahon hugged and cried tears of joy. Triple H gave a standing ovation as everyone applauded. He had always had a crush on Stephanie, but it was all in the past and put behind them, they were best friends now and he was happy for her. The best man, and Chris's best friend, Shane McMahon came over to the two. First he hugged his sister and then Chris. Everyone watched as they left the church and got into a big limo and drove out of sight. They all clapped and cheered. Linda and Vince smiled as they held each other, watching their daughter and new son-in-law, the champion Chris Jericho, drive off. Triple H and Shane McMahon rooted as they watched their best friends drive down the road and into their new life.
A month later, at WrestleMania.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Triple H was asking Chris Jericho.
"Yes Hunter, you've worked hard for this title and I'm will to drop it to somebody like you, without you helping, none of this might have never happened."
"You're a good friend."
"And besides, I got Steph, you deserve something?"
Triple H laughed and picked up the belt, "I guess this is my silver medal then." He kissed it.
"You still have to beat me in the ring first." Chris laughed.
"Good luck out there." The two boys turned to see Stephanie McMahon-Jericho and her brother Shane McMahon come over.
"Thanks honey." Chris kissed her.
"How about one for me, for good luck?" Triple H stuck his neck out. He got a kiss, but it was from Shane. Everyone burst out into laughter.
"Hey come on you guys." Vince came over, wearing a grin. Ever since everything had ended and his daughter got married, he'd been happy all the time. He was so up beat and perky, he had never been this cheerful before and he had Chris to thank. "You're on."
"Ok, see you out their Chris." Triple H left to the gorilla position.
"Good luck Hunter."
Chris Jericho looked down at his wife Stephanie as he put his belt around his waist. They stared into each others eyes for a moment as they could hear the countdown beginning. And without a word said, Chris made his way onto the stage ramp. Stephanie stood next to her brother, Shane, and watched the match from the screen set backstage, and smiled. Chris may loose the title match, but he won in a more important fight, the fight for his life. And when the title match would be over, he wouldn't have a belt, but when the fight for his life had ended, he had not only won his life, but a new life with his new wife, Stephanie McMahon.
"Guys!" Was all he could manage to choke out happily.
"Chris, you're ok." Stephanie McMahon gasped.
