Chapter 6: "Boring! Boring!"

Shawn Michaels and Lita leave the Renaissance hotel, and drive's Lita's 'rent a car' to the Columbus Airport. Lita looks through her cell phone, checking her voice mail and text messages. Shawn drives along the highway, and glances at the clock, which reads nine twenty-two. Shawn grabs his coffee mug and takes a sip. He glances at Lita multiple times, trying to catch her attention. Lita looks at him, wondering what he's doing.

"Weird-o." Lita shakes her head and smiles. "Thanks for taking the wheel for me. I really don't feel like driving today for some reason."

"It's cool." Shawn yawns at his boredom. "I'm bored."

Lita turns off her cell phone and stuffs it in her duffle bag. "Me too. This flight is going to be so boring."

They arrive at the Airport, and leave their car in the parking lot. The couple carry their luggage with them, as they walk inside the small building. Lita follows Shawn as he walks to the front desk, where they stand before the entrance of the Airplane. They show the woman their tickets and Shawn runs through the bridge, entering the plane. Lita chases after him.

"Wait, up!" Lita stops and catches her breath.

"Heh, slow ass." Shawn smiles, and stops.

"Excuse me, please don't run." A young flight attendant points at them.

"Sorry." Shawn turns and looks at her.

"Sorry, my son is very stupid." Lita looks at Shawn. She walks by and sticks her tongue out at him.

"…" Shawn follows her.

Lita walks over to her seat, and sits down. She leans the chair back. Shawn sits down next to her. He stares at her, as if he was a statue. Lita looks back at him. It's the beginning of a staring contest.

"Prepare to lose." Lita continues staring, not moving the top half of her face.

"No, you prepare to lose…" Shawn fights back, barely even moving his lips.

Lita flares out her nostrils purposely, to distract Shawn. "I can do this for hours."

"Well, you know what? Me too." Shawn grins from ear to ear.

A huge piece of foil that was bunched into a ball, hits Lita in the side of her head. "Ahhow!" She looks around at who hit her, and it was a little boy, about the age of six. "He hit me! Do over!"

"No, no! You lost! Just accept it!" Shawn laughs hysterically.

"That's bullshit." Lita crosses her arms and sits back in her seat. "I'll let you go this time."

"Heh, heh. You better." Shawn sits back in his seat also.

Fifteen minutes later…

Lita taps her finger on the plastic armrest on her seat, and looks out the window. She looks at Shawn, which is asleep. She looks on the floor and sees an old packet of chili sauce. She bends down to pick it up, and rips it open. She slowly dribbles some right under his nose, and on his bottom lip. She tries to keep herself from laughing, and just lets out a light giggle. She tosses the packet back on the floor. She clears her throat. "SHAWN! Wake up!" Lita shakes him.

Shawn doesn't move, and continues sleeping.

"Shawn! Hurry! Get up!" Lita shakes him again.

Shawn stays in his position, still sleeping.

"Shawn…?" Lita pokes him, starting to get nervous. "Hey…"

Shawn is still frozen.

"Hey… don't play around." Lita continues poking him. "Fine, then. Don't wake up." She crosses her arms.

"BOO!" Shawn suddenly wakes up, and scares Lita.

"Eee!" Lita jumps up, in fright. "Fuck you…" She laughs and turns away.

"Hahaha!" Shawn licks his lips. "Mmmm, spicy!"

"I can never play a good prank on you." Lita scratches the back of her head.

"Because you're not a pro like me!" Shawn boasts.

"Yeah, I know." Lita replies sarcastically.

"I'm bored. I hate flights." Shawn moves around in his seat purposely, like he was two years old.

Lita stares at him and laughs. "I do too, but I don't act like a child…" She continues laughing.

"You know, I've been meaning to ask you something." Shawn sits up, and leans towards Lita.

"Yeah?" Lita looks at him.

"What do you do on your free time?" Shawn asks.

"Well, I have my own Humane society. I usually go there to check on my animals." Lita takes a deep breath.

"Oohh, an animal lover, eh?" Shawn nods.

"Yes, I absolutely love animals." Lita smiles.

"That's nice. I'm glad you have a hobby. I'm not that big with animals. I'm more into helping needy children." Shawn says.

"Aww, that's sweet. I like helping needy kids too. I feel so bad for them." Lita looks at Shawn. He is very sweet! What a huge plus for him. She thinks.

"Yeah…" Shawn sighs. I like the fact that she cares for needy kids and animals… Shawn thinks. He looks at Lita and smiles.

There is a long moment of silence.

Lita stares at the back of her seat. She thinks. Maybe now is the best time to ask him about dinner tonight… But how should I bring it up?

Shawn sits back in his seat also, and starts messing with the headphones on his lap. Ooohkaay.. Awkward silence… He thinks.

Lita bites her bottom lip. She looks at Shawn. She clears her throat. "Uhh, Shawn?"

"Yeeesss…?" Shawn asks, and smiles.

"Umm." Lita laughs nervously. "Do you have any plans for tonight?"

Shawn thinks for a moment. "Nope. Why?"

"Because…" Lita freezes.

"What's the matter?" Shawn looks at her.

"I… was…" Lita starts to choke at her speech. "Err."

"Hey." Shawn smiles. "Just tell me. It's fine."

"Do you want to go out to dinner with me?" Lita finally asks.

Shawn sits back and stares in front of him. He then grins. He looks back at Lita. "Yeah, of course."

Lita blinks and smiles. She holds back her tears of happiness. "That's great."

There is another long moment of silence…
