John never imagine this moment; the moment where Stephanie McMahon laid in his arms. He was sure of one thing: he was the luckiest man in the world. After the show they both went to her hotel where they ended up getting many snacks and watching old reruns of Smackdown. Of course, his favorite was that of when Stephanie returned after her fight with Rena onto Summerslam. She looked up at John as he watched with admiration.
"What?" she asked.
He shook his head and smiled at her. "Nothing."
Stephanie frowned and frowned at him. "That didn't sound like nothing to me."
John chuckled. "I just enjoy watching you on television."
Stephanie rolled her eyes. "I looked hideous then."
"Please."
Stephanie sighed and went back to placing her head on John's chest. "Did you ever imagine this?" she asked.
"I dreamed of it," John answered.
Stephanie sat up again and looked into John's blue eyes. "No, I mean, not just us."
John raised his eyebrow. "You mean Heyman and ECW?" Stephanie nodded and John shrugged. "Honestly, no. But, seeing what Heyman did with WCW…it's no surprise."
Stephanie nodded. "Yeah, I should've seen it coming," she said softly.
John grabbed her chin and kissed her softly. "Don't say that," he told her. "There was no way you, or anyone else, could've seen this."
"It scares me," she admitted.
John frowned, seeing the confusion in her eyes and hearing the fear in her voice. Before now, John never knew Stephanie as someone as confused and broken as she was at that moment. It actually made him love her even more. It was the real Stephanie. The ones the fans never got to see and most of the guys never got to see either.
"We'll take care of it, Steph," he said, hugging her. "We always do."
Stephanie nodded, feeling safe and loved in John's arms. She never imagined that she'd be there with him…as a couple, but it felt good. It felt right. "I know," she said softly.
Stephanie slammed the door to her car and John winced, closing his more gently. "Something wrong?"
Stephanie shot him a glare as they walked over to where her father was standing, just in front of the back entrance of the arena. "Mind telling me exactly what we're doing here?" she snapped at her father.
"We came to show people that we mean business," he answered. He glanced at John then looked at Stephanie, confused. "What's he doing with you?"
Stephanie turned and glanced at John but before she could say anything, a van quickly approached them, and stopped right in front of them. The side doors opened and Paul, Michael, Chris, Adam and Randy all jumped out as Shane shut off the vehicle and stepped out with them. "What the hell is going on?" Stephanie said.
Shane smiled at her. "Hey sis."
Vince cleared his throat. "I had a little run in with Heyman last night," he explained.
Stephanie nodded. "Yeah, I know."
Vince looked at her. "How did you know?"
Stephanie sent him a look. "I do run the show," she snapped. "Now will you just tell me?"
"We're going to invade their show," he said simply. "That's all there is to it."
Stephanie folded her arms over her chest. "And how exactly were you going to do that?"
Vince looked at her as if she were stupid. "By going in through the crowd and jumping into the ring during the main event and creating hell," he explained. "What's so difficult?"
"It's stupid."
"I beg your pardon?"
Stephanie sighed in frustration. "You'll never get in that way without being seen," she said. "Most of the ECW fans don't like us anyways. They'll point you out right then and there."
"So, what do you purpose?"
Stephanie thought for a moment. "I can get in," she said. The guys exchanged looks with each other. "No one cares about me and I can provide the distraction for you all to sneak in and get into the ring."
"Security needs to be on the lookout," Paul Heyman said on his phone. "I want to make sure no one from the WWE gets in, got it?" He shut his phone and smiled as Kurt walked up to him. "Well, if it isn't my favorite wrestler. How you doing?"
Kurt rolled his eyes. "Cut the crap. I'm getting my title shot tonight, right?"
"Oh yes, yes. Of course."
"And no one will interfere."
Paul smiled at him. "Don't worry. None of your old friends will ever make it in here. They won't even try."
Kurt smirked at him. "Then you don't know Stephanie or the McMahon's as well as you think."
Paul watched him walk away and frowned. He opened his phone again and dialed a number. "Yeah. I want you to beef up security again…I don't care, get the fucking SWAT team here then!"
As Kurt made his way into the ring, his smile grew. He'd never actually been cheered before. As he warmed up, he realized that leaving the WWE might've been one of the best decisions of his life. Heyman was right…in this business, who needed friends? His music stopped and he waited for his opponent, Show.
Vince, John, Adam and Randy waited by one of the crowds entrances, eagerly waiting for Stephanie's plan to kick off. As they were waiting, Vince looked at John, whose attention was on the ring. "Want to explain to me exactly why you showed up with my only daughter?"
John slowly looked at Vince and smiled weakly as Vince's expression darkened.
Chris smiled as Michael and Paul exchanged looks. "What?" Chris asked, frowning.
"You look like you're about to piss your pants," Paul joked.
"No, I'm just excited," Chris said. "I miss being in the ring actively."
"Just be careful," Shane said. "Heyman and his guys are fucking crazy idiots who act before they think."
"We know," they all said in unison.
Paul Heyman smiled as he walked down to the ECW ring, basking in the fans cheers. As he entered the ring, he motioned for a microphone. "Fellow ECW wrestlers and fans," he began. Shane and the others rolled their eyes. "The days of the McMahon's or WWE running this show is long over." The crowd roared as John looked around. "I can promise you all, that within a week…WWE will be no more. Just like all those years ago, what was it…eight? Myself and those that stand behind me will take WWE and get rid of it!" He smiled as the crowd cheered again. It was no doubt, half of them were drunk and probably didn't understand a word he was saying, but that wasn't the point. Just as he brought the mic back up, he was cut off as the arena flashed in blue and seemingly unfamiliar music filled the arena.
He turned and his eyes widened as none other than Stephanie McMahon stood on his ramp. He pointed at her as the music died down. "Security, security!"
Stephanie smirked at him. "What's wrong, Paul? Am I that much of a threat to you?"
"You," he spat with loath. "How did you get in here?"
"It's a little thing called money, Paul," she snapped. "Obviously, you don't pay your employee's."
"Listen to me you little…"
"Oh, Paul. You can continue with your little rant," she said. "Don't let me interrupt you in any way."
Paul backed off and straightened his tie as he laughed. "You know Stephanie…it wasn't too smart for you to come here alone. Without back up."
Stephanie matched his smirk as she saw Randy and John behind the announcers. "What makes you think I came here alone?"
Paul's eyes widened as Steve Austin's music hit and a giant monster truck entered the arena. He stepped back, turning around to leave the ring, when Randy and John entered the ring, forcing him back the other way. As he backed up, Paul, Michael and the others jumped the barrio and got into the ring as well. As Heyman backed up, Steve jumped out of the truck and got into the ring as well. They all had Heyman boxed in as Stephanie walked up to the ring. While Vince was trash talking Heyman, the crowd began to boo loudly. Once Stephanie entered the ring, she looked around. "Where's your backup, Paul?"
Paul began to plead and shake his head fiercely as Steve gave a look at Vince then hit Heyman with the Stunner followed by Michael's Sweet Chin Music, lying Heyman out for the count. Just as they were about to leave, the ring then became filled with ECW stars and both sides fought each other until the security and police came to the ring to break them up.
"Did you see the look on his face!" Adamexclaimed.
John laughed. "It was priceless."
Vince nodded his head in agreement. "Yes, I couldn't agree any more. Things went better than expected.
"It was so great," Randy said excitedly. "Just too finally go to their show and kick some ass!"
The group all went to a local club after the ECW show and being kicked out. It was evident that Heyman wasn't happy. Not only were they able to get by security, but they gave him a free ride to the hospital.
Steve slapped a fifty dollar bill on the table and stood up. "All kids, we got a big day coming up so I'm gonna go hit the sack."
Vince looked up at him and nodded. "Alright, good word there Steve."
"Thanks."
Stephanie nodded as well. "Thanks Steve."
He nodded at both of them. "This doesn't change anything though," he said.
"We know," Stephanie said. "You're an arrogant ass."
"And you're a blood sucking bitch," he shot back.
"So glad I'm working with you," she smirked.
"Like wise princess."
They watched as Steve left then Adam stood up. "Yeah, I should get going too. Amy's waiting up."
"All right," Stephanie said, standing up. "Since we're breaking up, we all mine as well go back to our hotels and homes and sleep."
"I agree," Vince said. "I have an early flight tomorrow."
As Stephanie clicked her alarm on her keychain, John ran up to her and grabbed her, kissing her neck. "John," she giggled.
"What? I missed you tonight," he said. "Not everyone knows about us."
"Yet," Stephanie said.
John laughed and turned her around, pulling her into him and kissing her. "See you tomorrow?"
Stephanie nodded. "Yes. What hotel you saying at?"
"Days Inn."
She blinked. "Are you serious?"
John shrugged. "Yeah. Randy and I will probably hang for a little while longer."
Stephanie nodded. "Okay. But from now on you're staying in nicer hotels."
He smirked at her. "Whatever you say, Princess," he mocked.
She rolled her eyes. "Good night."
"Night."
Stephanie jumped into her BMW and started the car, pulling out of the lot and onto the highway.
Little did she know that her night was just getting started….
Sorry this chapter was lacking, but the next one gets really good, then we pick up from there :D
