Dave and Adam were sitting in a dark alley, both panting from running 10 blocks.
"Who do you think we shot?"
"Hell I don't know! I was aiming for John. But you had to fuckin scare me so I shot off guard!"
"Well sorry! I thought I heard sirens come our way!"
"They were dumb ass that's why we ran!"
Then they both laughed. They didn't know why they laughed. Maybe it was covering up the pain they would cause the other superstars. Then they heard TV news anchors talk about the recent happenings outside the alley. They snuck to the opening to listen to a female reporter.
"Dude she's hot."
"Shut up I'm trying to listen!"
Adam finally shut up. They made sure they couldn't be seen by anyone outside the alley.
"Wait….I'm just being informed that Smackdown GM Theodore Long has died minutes after a sniper bullet hit him in the chest. Wait…there's more! Smackdown will be cancelled after their last PPV, No Marcy!"
Dave and Adam looked at each other. What have they done? They didn't think that Dave had shot Teddy. They didn't mean to have Smackdown cancelled. They both sulked back into the shadows of the alley.
"Dave….what have we done?"
"We just screwed up the WWE for good."
They sat in silence for the longest time, listening to reporter after reporter interview witnesses and talk about the incident. Before both could doze off, they heard familiar voices.
"Standing by me is new couple John Cena and Maria. Now John, what are your thoughts on tonight?"
Adam and Dave sat straight up and ran to the beginning of the alley.
"Tonight has been a sad and stressful night for everyone in WWE and ECW. Teddy was known well. I just hope the night ends soon."
"And Maria what are the plans for WWE?"
"Well Vince called us and told us that all tapings and WWE live events will be cancelled for 2 weeks. Then after that WWE will be up and running. Of course in 1 month Smackdown will be done with. Either we stars can continue to be in WWE or ECW or go away for good."
Dave and Adam went back to the alley. 2 weeks off? Could WWE afford that? Dave and Adam snuck out the back way of the alley, got into their car, and headed to the nearest motel. The next morning, they got on a plane to visit Vince in Connecticut.

John and Maria woke up the next morning to no sound in the halls. John looked at his cell. It was noon. They both figured that all the stars left the arena earlier that morning. Maria opened their door to finds little notes plastered to their door.
"Hun I think we got mail."
John got up and put his hands around Maria's waist. He looked at the door and laughed. They were all engagement cards and notes.
"At least they thought of us."
They packed their things and headed for Johns car.
"So, where should we go?"
"Do you want to go back to Boston? Or should we go to your house?"
"You mean Illinois? Yes please. I want you to meet my parents."
John smiled and sneaked a kiss before they got in the car. On the way to the airport they talked about life. When they got there, cameras surrounded their car/. They both sighed.
"We should have taken the corporate plane."
They got out and got their luggage. John as big as he was, pushed away all the paparazzi and walked into the airport. They sat at the gate waiting for the plane. They watched the TV, which were recaps of the night last night. John squeezed Maria's hand tight. Maria knew he was the one she would be with forever.
"Flight 271 boarding 1st class."
John and Maria got up and walked onto the plane. But their seats were separate.
"Let's see if we can compromise."
When John found out where his seat was, they went to look at Maria's. But the lady that would sit next to Maria was a familiar face.
