"Baby, come here," Chris's voice floated happily throughout his hotel room.

"What, for you to soak me some more? I don't think so sweetie!" Stephanie told him with a giggle, that turned into a shriek of laughter as Chris ran at her, armed with a water pistol. She quickly jumped onto and over the bed in the room to escape him. Turning around quickly, she saw he was following her own path from moments before. Taking advantage of his defenceless manor, Stephanie fired her own water pistol at him. The stream of water that shot from it landed straight in his face, which caused Stephanie immediate satisfaction after all the times he had gotten her.

"Stephy, you had better run, and you had better run good," Chris warned her playfully. Enjoying they way her eyes got wide and how she turned round and hurried to the hotel room door. "Because when I catch up with you, you are so gonna pay." as he finished his threat, Stephanie had already fled the room and out into the hallway. No doubt to find Trish, to team up with.

As he walked out of his room, he saw Christian run up to him.

"Dude, Trish got Kurt!" Christian exclaimed, out of breath as he reached Chris.

"Damn! How did she manage to capture a fully grown man, he's like twice her friggin' size!" Chris claimed.

"I don't mean she captured him, doofus! I don't know how she did it, but he totally soaked me dude and then him and Trish ran off, laughing their ass's off! It looks like it's just you and me man." Christian explained.

Chris regarded Christian, nodded his head and lifted his water pistol to him, and started pumping it, until it was super soaked. "Are you ready for this dude?" Chris questioned.

"Ready for what?" Christian wondered.

"War man, War."

Stephanie had made it to the stairwell of the hotel, when she heard laughter. She had become accustomed to it over the last couple of weeks and it was undoubtably Trish's laughter.

"Trish, where are you?" she yelled, which echoed throughout the stairwell. The laughter stopped and Trish's head appeared over the side of the stairs.

"Steph?" Trish questioned.

"Down here," Stephanie answered, and saw Trish look down her way with a smile.

"Steph, you are so gonna love me! You won't believe what I managed to get!" Trish exclaimed gleefully, as she saw Stephanie make her way up the steps towards her. " you know how it was me and you and we were out numbered by, Chris, Christian and Kurt?" Trish asked her.

"Uh huh," Stephanie replied reaching the top of the stairs where a smiling Trish greeted her, and to Stephanie's surprise it wasn't only Trish but Kurt to.

"I managed to get Kurt to come to our side. We are so gonna waste Chris and Christian now!" Trish told her with her own bubbly excited way.

Stephanie looked at Kurt and Kurt smiled at her, but Stephanie kept her distance. She was weary of him, why would he suddenly change sides so easily? "So Kurt, what brings you to the winning side?" she questioned him, and Kurt himself felt like he was being questioned by the FBI, but this was worse. This was Stephanie McMahon.

"That's exactly it!" Kurt exclaimed to her. "I wanna be on the winning side! Kurt Angle, does not lose Steph, not to anyone, ever! And I figured, you're Stephanie McMahon, the most conniving person I know! How could we not win?" Kurt explained his allegiances, which made Stephanie smile.

"Welcome to the team Kurt, you'll soon know what victory smells like!" Stephanie told him with a cheer as her and Trish lunged at him for a group hug, causing them all to crack up with laughter.

Their laughter didn't die down, it actually felt good to act like a kid again, with there water pistols. It was like they had no worries in the world and the outside didn't exist, it was just the five of them, and they were relaxed. But Stephanie's laughter abruptly stopped as she heard a noise, it had sounded like something had fallen. She looked over at Trish and Kurt who had also stopped laughing.

"Did you hear that?" Stephanie whispered. Two nods were her answer. "Keep laughing," she instructed them. They both looked at her like she was mad, but did as they were told, least they cross Caption Stephanie and feel her rath.

Stephanie walked over to the edge of the stairwell and saw them. Chris and Christian. She was just in time to see Chris smack Christian upside the head.

"Dude!" Chris stressed in a somewhat whisper. "We're being stealth like and you drop your damn pistol! Are you stupid? Do you want them to know we're coming, you might as well send a damn elephant up to alert them that we're here!"

"Man, I'm sorry! I tripped, I didn't see the other step!" Christian explained.

"Christian? What in the hell do you expect to be in front of another step? Huh, a damn bed?" Chris asked him irritably, which caused Stephanie to giggle at there antics, which in turn cause Chris to look up.

"Damn it!" he swore as he saw her, and knew they were found out. Dragging Christian with him as they started up the stairs.

"Run!" Stephanie shouted as she turned around to face Trish and Kurt. "They're coming!" and with that she ran up the stairs with Kurt and Trish right behind her.

As Stephanie reached the top step of the stairs and burst threw the door, and her two followers were seconds behind her. they ended up in the room with the swimming pool and gym in it. She could already hear Chris and Christian coming up behind them, it would be mere seconds before they came threw the door as well.

"Hide!" she instructed, and they did.

When Chris and Christian burst threw the door the place was silent.

"They're here somewhere! They have to be." Chris told Christian.

"It's cool dude, we're just gonna have to look for them," Christian told him.

"Oh I think, it's gonna be a lot easier than that," a voice from behind them said. They both turned round and came face to face with a smirking Kurt.

"Heh dude, I knew you'd pull this off!" Christian exclaimed, walking over to Kurt and High fived him. "Oh, I wanna be on the winning team! Kurt Angle never loses! Good one man!"

"Trish is behind the hamper and Stephanie is in the corner, under the table by the plant." Kurt told Chris giving away their hiding spots.

All three guys started to laugh, having the upper hand against the girls, but it was cut short when they heard a down right mean growl, followed by a table going flying to the side, and Kurt's smirk melted away faster than an Ice cube in the Sahara.

"You no good, lying, backstabbing, son of a bitch!" Stephanie yelled at him, stomping closer. As she reached him, she glared him into the next century. "Who do you think you are? Huh?" she questioned him all the while poking him in his chest, making him take a step back. To say Stephanie didn't regard betrayal all that well, was an understatement at best. "Do you know who I am?" Another poke, another step back. "You should1 You know you don't cross Stephanie McMahon," Yet another poke and another step. "You're gonna pay Kurt!" Stephanie finished with her patent smirk, as she raised her arms up and pushed Kurt one more time, with all she had. Needless to say when he landed ass first in the water, with the rest of him following, Stephanie was happy and all she could do when Kurt rose to the surface spluttering, was laugh as hard as she could.

In fact she was laughing that hard that she failed to notice Chris, run at her, until he had grabbed her side, pulling her into the swimming pool along with him, joining Kurt. When they both resurfaced, Chris swam over to where Stephanie was.

"You're a jerk," she told him.

"I know baby," Chris replied, as he pulled her into him and kissed her lips.

"You're forgiven." she told him when he pulled back.

"Look at you guys!" Christian chuckled from his place at the edge of the pool. " You guys look like drowned rats! Hell I've see better drowned rats that all of you put together." he finished off laughing at them. His laughter, turned into a nervous chuckle, when none of them had a comeback for him, but were just looking at him with their own satisfied smirk. His eyes widened comically and he remembered Trish and turned around just in time to catch her as she launched herself into his arm, her momentum propelling them into the swimming pool along with their friend.

Chris smiled as he into his car, and remembered his week. It had been great, from the whole soaking war, which he and everybody but the management thought was fun, to just hanging out in his hotel room with his friends watching movies. But if he was honest with himself, he was the happiest when it was just him and Stephanie. Him sitting in a chair with Stephanie in his lap just talking, about nothing and everything.

He started up his engine and pulled out of his parking space, and headed out of the hotel garage. Raw was tonight and Stephanie had already headed to the show earlier as she had some things to discuss with her father, and all that business talk bored him to tears. He had told her he would see her in his locker room after she was done, and he couldn't wait to see her. she was only gone an hour and a half and he missed her. you he was a sap he admitted it.

He switched on the radio, and groaned as he heard a cheesy pop song fill his car. He could be any amount of money that Stephanie had been in it, he'd told her a hundred and one times not to mess with his radio. Not because he was possessive or anything of the sort, it just took him forever to find his radio station again, and he didn't care all that much for pop music. Not one little bit. He reached over and turned it to another station, one after another but couldn't find a station he liked. With an annoyed sigh he left it. To hell with what station it was at, he'd deal.

As he pulled onto the main road a new song started and he prepared for the worst, but as the first lines of the song started, he figured it wasn't the worst song he had heard in his life, and concluded that it wasn't all that bad, like he was expecting. In fact coincidence or not, it reminded him of the only person that seemed to be on his mind now. Stephanie.

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty's to much

He pulled up to a traffic light, cursing lightly because he was late. Not by much, but he wanted to see Stephanie. The lines of that song though, they stuck with him, because they were true. When he touched Stephanie or when Stephanie touched him, in any way it caused his heart to miss a beat. But it was welcomed and wanted, because no one had ever done that to him, and no one other than Stephanie would.

He looked into his rearview mirror and couldn't help but notice the man in the car behind him. How could he be missed? A shiver ran threw Chris as his eyes caught the mans in the mirror, those eyes were not of the good, they were downright grave, and the fact that the man was covered in scars didn't help his case one bit. If he was a wrestler he would give The Undertaker a run for his money. Burying Paul Bearer in a tank of cement? This guy looked like he did it on a daily basis. Chris was pretty happy then that he knew The Undertaker than this guy.

The cars in front of him started to move forward slowly, and then pick up. He'd see Stephanie in about ten minutes and that thought caused him to smile. If he didn't know better he would say he was smitten. Now that though caused him to laugh, Chris Jericho, smitten? Turning right he chuckled, and it was the last thing he heard, because the next thing he knew the car behind him, swerved into the drivers side of his car and sent it veering across the road, into another on coming car.

And I wanna close my eyes,

I wanna hold you till I die

Sitting in Chris's locker room waiting for him was getting tiresome. He should have been here by now, Stephanie had finished her business with her father twenty minutes ago, and she had expected to walk in and find Chris sitting there waiting for her, but he wasn't. She wondered if there was a time where it could account for being officially late, it wasn't like they had set a specific time, Chris had just told her 'I'll see you there.' There was a whole hour before the show, but he was still late. When he finally does get here, she'd pout and complain about his lateness, make him guilty that he kept her waiting, and kiss him just because.

She got up off of the sofa and started to pace restlessly. She really wanted him here with her now. She was even willing to over looking the whole pouting and guiltiness thing, if he walk in right now so she could walk into his arms and kiss him. She'd give anything to kiss him right not. It was her favourite thing to do, because his lips were so soft it was almost heavenly, and she hadn't kissed them in almost two hours. Sighing she guessed she could wait a few more minutes.

The ringing of her cell phone interrupted her musings, and she smiled hoping it was Chris.

"Hello?" she said as she answered, her smile still in place. "Yes, this is she," Her smile faltered and slipped away completely and her face was suddenly ashen and void of emotion. "Is he alright?" she whispered, her voice cracking on the last word. Closing her eyes, Stephanie let out a shuddering sigh and when her eyes opened they were filled with tears. "Critical?" she questioned, unable to hear anymore, the phone slipped from her hand hit the floor with a clatter and Stephanie just stood there.

Till we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

"One, two, three lift,"

Chris's body was lifted onto a table and the doctors surrounded him, cutting off the clothes he had on.

"What's his status?"

"BP?"

"People, I need answers,"

The incessant beeping of his heart monitor tuned out the doctor's questions and the general ruckus of an emergency room. He was just lying there, unconscious, still, silent and inert. So unlike himself, with a tube coming out of his mouth.

The beeping of his heart rate falters into in-continuous beeping.

Then it flatlines.
