John and Maria walked out (well Maria limped out) to find a hallway of superstars.
"Whatever you do Maria don't tell them we're engaged."
But Maria didn't listen. She was to excited to keep it in.
"ME AND JOHN ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!"
Everyone looked at the couple and yelled in happiness. The divas took Maria from and John and asked her questions, while the guys stood and congratulated John. After all the guys had left, it was just John and Rey hanging out in the hallways with the divas.
"Congrats man. You happy?"
"Of course I'm happy. I'm gonna get married to the love of my life."
The divas rushed up to John, and they looked mad.
"John! Where's the ring! You can't be properly engaged without a ring!"
John looked at Maria who just stood there and laughed. John laughed along with her. He regained his composure to face the angry divas.
"Ladies listen. I was gonna get a ring. But I was worried that she wouldn't like it. So sometime tomorrow I'm bringing her to the nearest jeweler and have her pick out her own ring."
All the divas 'awwwwed' and walked back to their rooms. Rey followed behind. Maria moved slowly to her future husband and put her arms around his neck. One, because she wanted to stare right into his eyes, and two she couldn't stand on her own yet so she needed the support.
"Nice lie babe. Will you really take me to the jewelers and let me pick out my own ring?"
"Anything you want babe is yours."
Before they could kiss all the stars were back in the hallway. Teddy looked mad.
"People! We still have a show to do in 30 minutes and we still need a main event!"
Everyone forgot about the taping that day. They all ran around grabbing their things and warming up. All the while Teddy's patience was growing short.
"Unless you're looking for another job someone tell me a main event!"
Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. Nothing came to anyone's mind. Mr. Kennedy……..Kennedy blurted an idea. Surprisingly, the match wasn't for him.
"The original main event was Dave vs. Cena in a #1 contenders match for the World Heavyweight Championship right?"
"Your point Ken?"
"Well, why not have King Booker vs. Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. But King Booker and Sharmell both disagreed.
"Not workable! I will not defend my title against this….this peasent!"
"You really let this king thing go to your head didn't you?"
Booker snarled at John's remark. But Teddy loved the idea.
"Alright Kennedy! That is the new main event!"
Everyone was talking all at the same time. Maria's cell vibrated. That meant she had a message. Once the message ended, Maria dropped her phone. John bent down to pick it up. As he did, Maria saw Trish leave out the back door. Maria limped toward the door and went outside. She got out just as Trish's cab left the parking lot. But what happened after the car left had Maria cry out for help.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
John came back up from Maria's phone up. When he turned to her, she wasn't there anymore. He asked Bobby if he had seen where she went.
"Maybe she went outside man. For fresh air. I wouldn't blame her."
John nodded in agreement. He started down the hall when he felt Teddy's hand turn him around.
"Where ya goin? You gotta get ready for your match."
"Maria's outside. I have to go get her."
At that moment John heard a scream from outside. He got out of Teddy's grip and ran outside. He stood in the doorway looking at the horrific scene. He felt the whole Smackdown locker room pushing him outside. Maria was on her knees, now bleeding from her falling, her face in her hands crying. But looking past her was a wreck. A car wreck. John rushed over to Maria, causing the stars to fall to the outside.
"Hun what's going on? What did you see?"
Maria's face lifted from her hands.
"Trish got into that cab. Someone ran into it. Trish got into a car crash!"
John looked up at the crash. The cab had completely overturned and the hood smashed to the pavement. All the stars rushed to the cab. Teddy stood behind John with his mouth wide open.
"How can we do a show now?"
"Teddy, bring Maria inside with you. Go out to the ring and tell everyone what has happened today. Cancel the tapping. We can always tape it tomorrow."
John kissed Maria and ran to the cab. John saw a man run out of the car that hit the cab. He ran after the guy. Damn this guy was fast. He must have chased him at least 5 blocks before he turned into an alley. John speared the hooded man into the trash.
"Lets see who you are you son of a bitch."
The man tried to get out of John's grip, but he was to strong. When John pulled the hood back, he backed away, amazed at the person laying in the trash. He couldn't believe who he was…….
