Author's Notes - Eric and Stephanie try to figure out what to do now that
they are snowed in together.
chrstinb21 - My new fan fiction site is called Tink's place. Yep, not too orgininal, but I'm working on it. lol
ShaneOmac-Y2J's-girl - I'm glad you like this and if you like fics with Eric as the good guy, go check out This Is The Moment by HBKStephandDee. This fic is actually co-written by her and me and has Eric as a good guy. The whole thing is taken from what goes on in my WWE RPG.
FREAKSHOW - I'm glad you like it and here's more! Sorry for lack of updates, I'm working on that!
~.~Saer~.~ - I love odd pairings too! WF:TA has some great fics and they have tons of odd pairings there. I think you would like it, check out my site for the link!
Whoa! It's been awhile since I have updated and I am so sorry for that! I'm working on updating everything as we speak (as I type? Whatever). I just started a new job and even though I'm only supposed to be part time, they are working me into the ground. It's horrible and I'm exauhsted. Not to mention that I have had a slight case of writers block. But, all better now! And I hope to get more updates of all my fics (and my site) up soon. Sorry it's taken so long.
And to everyone else out there.please review!! I really want to know what you think. Also, should ff.net ever go down again and you want to see updates of my fics (and a couple others not to mention some that aren't on ff.net) check out It's my new fan fiction site. Hope you all like it.
Disclaimer - I do not own WWE or any of their characters or ANYTHING in this fic. I have a mortal fear of lawyers so please don't sue me. This is just for fun.
Second Thoughts
"Did you find anything yet?" Stephanie called while peering over the counter.
"Well," Eric said coming out of a room behind the snack counter, "I found some frozen hot dogs and some frozen pretzels. The only problem is that we don't have a way to cook them now do we?"
"I'm sure there's a microwave somewhere around here," Stephanie said looking around. "Wasn't there one upstairs in the lounge next to the office?"
"And exactly how do you propose we do that Stephanie?" She looked at him absently as he rolled his eyes. "The power went out Princess. A microwave won't work without power."
"But the lights."
"Are on a back-up emergency generator. That generator is probably not powering anything in this building except the damn lights which means it's going to get very cold in her soon." Eric went back to looking around the back room for food leaving a now scared Stephanie standing on the other side of the counter. "Bingo. We have food!"
"You found something," Stephanie said trying not to show how scared she was actually getting.
"Well, I know it's not exactly healthy, but I found a ton of candy and the soda fountain still works so we aren't going to starve." Eric came back out front holding a box of M&M's and another box of Starburst with some cups resting on top of them.
"Right," she said rolling her eyes, "now all we have to do is worry about freezing to death."
"I'm sure there is a souvenir stand somewhere around here and they will have some shirts or something. We can use those to keep warm," Eric said rationally as the power surged again and Stephanie jumped. "Come on; let's go look around for a souvenir stand." Eric jumped back over the counter and walked down the hall with Stephanie trailing behind him.
~*~
"Having any luck?" Stephanie asked through her chattering teeth. It had been almost 3 hours since they left the concession stand and they had found a souvenir stand about an hour ago, but Eric was having problems opening the door.
"Almost," Eric groaned from the floor.
"Eric, you said almost an hour ago! I'm freezing!" She complained while pulling her coat tighter around her. "Are you going to get that damn door open any time before we freeze to death?"
"Maybe if I didn't have you breathing down my neck every five minutes I would get this door." *click* "open. See, I told you I almost had it." Eric smiled triumphantly as he opened the door and looked around the stock room for anything that could possibly help them keep warm.
"Sweatshirts, T-shirts, I think I'm in heaven!" Stephanie smiled as she went for one of the open boxes and pulled a very over-sized sweatshirt on over her coat. Eric rolled his eyes and picked up the box of sweatshirts and a box of T-shirts and put the candy they had found earlier on top of it and carried it out of the room.
~*~
"You know Princess; you're going to have to eat that candy sometime or another." Eric said popping another Starburst in his mouth.
"I'm on a diet," she said stubbornly.
"More for me then." Eric shrugged. He smiled sweetly popping another piece of candy into his mouth as Stephanie just glared. "Is it me or did it just get colder in here?" Eric couldn't help but laugh at his own joke as Stephanie continued to glare at him.
"How can you joke in a situation like this?" She demanded. "Eric we are trapped in an arena for God knows how long, with no electricity, no real food, and.and.each other! Eric it's still snowing out there!"
"I know," he said looking out the window, "it's kind of nice looking isn't it?"
"Nice looking? Eric that snow will probably be the death of us!" Stephanie said starting to breathe hard. It was obvious to him that she was starting to panic.
"Stephanie, calm down. That's probably just the hunger or maybe the cold talking. Look, just eat something and here," he took off his black leather jacket and draped it around her shoulders, "take my jacket. It should keep you warm. Don't worry Stephanie; we're going to get out of here."
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Stephanie asked curiously. In all the time she had known Eric she had never seen him be quite so nice to anyone but his goons.
"We're in a tight spot right now Stephanie," Eric admitted, "and I know that the last thing we need to do right now is fight."
"I guess you're right," Stephanie said quietly looking at Eric in almost shock. It was amazing that he was being so nice right now, perhaps she didn't know him as well as she thought she had.
"Now are you going to eat Princess?" Eric smiled sweetly and offered her a bag of M&M's and a Pepsi. Stephanie gave a small smile as she pulled his jacket tightly around her while reaching for the candy. She couldn't help but notice the musky smell of the leather and smiled a bit more.
*Eric always did smell good,* she thought.
"Thank you." She said opening the bag and eating the candy. Perhaps this won't be all that bad after all.
