Chapter 1: "Just Kidding!"

The beautiful redhead, the Lovely Lita, steps out of her locker room, and carries her duffle bag over her shoulder. She sees Adam Copeland, a.k.a. Edge, and stops in front of him and smiles.

"Good show." Edge smiles and holds out his hand.

"Yes." Lita smiles back. "I'll see you next week." She winks and returns Edge's handshake. She strolls down the hallways but stops at gorilla. She smirks and walks down the empty ramp, silently listening to the humorous boos and chants at her heel-like personality. She sets down her duffle bag and hops onto the apron, grabbing a hold of the crimson ropes. She looks around at the empty seats, and enters the ring. She walks to each corner, caressing the ropes at she walks by each turnbuckle. She sits down at the center of the ring.

"Thought you'd be gone by now." A low, but familiar voice speaks softly from outside the ring.

Lita perks up her head and turns around. It's the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels. She smiles, but is a bit confused, because she doesn't really talk to him all that often. "Uh, hey."

Shawn walks up the stairs, but struts along the apron, refusing himself to enter the ring. "Why are you so shy?" He asks.

"Because this is the first time that you've approached me in three months." Lita sarcastically chuckles as she replies. "Why are you being such a kiss ass?"

Shawn smirks, and shakes his head. "It's not the fact that I'm being a kiss ass, just the fact that I have some news. It's a coincidence that I found you here."

"Why do you say that?" Lita raises an eyebrow, turning her body completely around.

"I usually come here to think." Shawn enters the ring and sits down in front of Lita. "I always think about the next show. I think about it all the time, until that Monday. I keep it in the back of my head when I visit my family, though."

"Oh." Lita nods. "So.. What's the oh-so-big news?"

"I talked to Vince today before the show. He said that some scriptwriters were talking about you and me teaming up." Shawn stares at the mat.

"Really…? How is this supposed to happen?" Lita blinks, sounding interested.

"Well, first off, you cheat on Edge with me, but keep it as a secret. There are hints, though. Each clue is about me walking up to you, acting like we're discussing it, and us flirting." Shawn explains.

"Oh.." Lita takes a deep breath. "I guess that's cool."

"Guess what else?" Shawn looks back up at her.

"What..?" Lita wonders.

"We actually have to be in a scene where it looks like we're having sex. It's going to be in the men's shower in the locker room. Edge walks in and catches us." Shawn adds.

"Huh? Really?" Lita's eyes become wider.

"Oh, know what else?" Shawn jumps up, acting excited.

"What? What?" Lita also becomes excited.

"You eventually become pregnant, Edge breaks up with you, but it ends up being his baby." Shawn smiles.

"Oooh.." Lita smiles.

"But get this! The perfect ending." Shawn takes a deep breath. "I leave you, Edge doesn't want the baby, and you're left all alone."

"Hmm.." Lita thinks. "It's actually quite a different story."

"Here's the best part of all." Shawn looks into her eyes. "You listening?"

"Yeah." Lita looks into Shawn's eyes.

"I'm kidding!" HBK stands up quickly and leaps to one side of the ring.

"OH! YOU LITTLE FUCKER!" Lita stands up quickly and pushes Shawn. She playfully slaps his shoulder.

"Ahh!" Shawn acts as if he falls out of the ring, from over the ropes, and hits the thin, black floor mat.

"Oh, no!" Lita mocks J.R. "That jezebel, Lita, just knocked HBK, Shawn Michaels, out of the ring! Good god!" She giggles.

Shawn Michaels acts as if he's having a seizer. Lita jumps out of the ring, and pretends that she's hitting him with a steel chair. She starts to cuss him out.

"You bitch! You cheated on me! Aahh!" She laughs.

"Ow! Ouch! Get this devil woman off of me! Oooww!" HBK acts like he's in pain.

Lita stops and falls to her knees laughing. Shawn starts laughing as well. They look at each other and stop laughing and clear their throats at the same time. They look away from each other. Lita stands back up and stuffs her hands in the pockets of her ripped blue jeans. Shawn stands up.

"I'm okay, really." Shawn smiles.

"I'm sorry to hear about you and your wife." Lita looks at him.

"It's okay. Some people just aren't meant to be together. I'll always find someone else. Just like you will." HBK sighs.

Lita stares at the mat. "Really, now." She looks back up at him. "Why did you come out here?"

"I told you. I come out here to think. I really didn't think you'd be out here too." Shawn turns and walks away. "I should get going."

"Wait." Lita runs to him, and stops him. She grabs his left shoulder with her left hand. "Do you want to get something to eat with me?" She asks.

Shawn stares into Lita's eyes. "I.." He takes a deep breath. "I.."

Lita smirks. "It's okay."

"I…" Shawn fights back the tears. "I am sorry. I can't." He walks away. "I need to think."

Lita stands there, quietly. She scratches her right arm. What'd I do wrong? She thinks to herself. I was just trying to be nice. Maybe he felt like he was being forced.. Or rushed.. She watches him walk away, disappearing into the darkness.
