Chapter 4-suprise?

Maria and Shawn had finally arrived in their city, San Diego, California, home of WWE's finest wrestler, Rey Mysterio. Maria got along with most people pretty good, but when it came down to it, Rey and her were the best of friends. They knew each other well since they stayed in the business, and even though they weren't on the same show, that didn't stop them from keeping in contact. "I betcha Rey will be here because Smackdown's coming" Maria said happily, "But he leaves when we do, cause that's when Vengeance needs him."

"Oh, good" HBK said happily. He was also on good terms with Rey, pretty much everyone was. It wasn't hard to not get along with Rey. He was a sweet person, and so easy to please; just saying his name made his day. But the truth was, Shawn was a tiny bit jealous of the relationship that Maria and Rey had, even though Shawn and Rey knew each other even longer than they both knew Maria. But he knew that it's been since the breakup, two months ago, that she hasn't seen Rey or talked to him.

"Shawn, lets go!' Maria woke him up from his thoughts by tugging on his arm. "Are you okay?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm okay" Shawn lied, "So, what were you saying about that zoo?"

"I was saying that there was a zoo like, a few miles down the road, and we can take a bus, that is, if you want to..."

"Sure" Shawn agreed with a small smile. In the meantime he would have to keep his feelings to himself.

"Cena wake up!"

John's ocean colored eyes opened up to see Lita shaking him. "You're about to get left" The red head told him as he stretched in his seat.

"I know" He said sleepily as he groggily stood up and hit his head up above on the luggage compartment. "Ah, shit" he complained as Lita giggled at him.

"Do you need help?" Lita grabbed his bag from up above. "Damn John! This bag is really heavy!" She put it down on the ground. She watched as he grabbed his bag. "John, you really need to patch things up with Maria."

"Edge told you?" John asked.

"No. I see Maria and I talk to her." Lita sighed, and crossed her arms. "John, you've really hurt her feelings bad."

So? John wanted to say, but decided to avoid conflict. "Well...I told her the truth, and well, she'd always told me to be honest."

"Cena!" Lita smacked him across the arm. John's arm now throbbed with pain as he rubbed it. "You'd better go heal things up with her before she falls into depression."

"She can't fall into depression!" John complained, "HBK's at her side healing her, she doesn't need me! I'm gonna make things worse."

Lita sighed. "John, you can't keep giving off excuses. You know what you did. Maria may have Shawn at her side, but that doesn't stop her from thinking about you. Solve your problems like an adult, and quit acting like an immature teenager." With that she walked away from him.

After that talk had happened, John had decided to ignore Lita for saying that. But he realized that she was right. He couldn't keep putting this off. He was done with seeing Maria's sad expression every time she looked at him; he was tired of seeing the hurt in her eyes. He would have to make things better between them, but there was only two things stopping him.

"Yes, John!" Maria's eyes filled with tears. "I loved you since we first got together! nothing's changed. I want to get over you, so give me time!"

She wanted to heal on her own. There was nothing he could do until she had achieved that. Until then, John really couldn't talk to her like he was supposed to. Then there was the other problem.

John watched Maria wiped her eyes and was surprisingly tempted to grab her and hug her miseries away, but before he could act upon anything, Maria had ran away from him, and HBK, coming around the corner, saw her and opened his arms, waiting for her to come. Maria, blinded by her hands, bumped into him and started to cry into Shawn's T-shirt as if she knew who it was. Shawn hugged her tightly, and his eyes connected with John's as he started to murmur something inaudible into Maria's ear, which made her crying cease a little. John locked eyes back with Shawn, before giving up and walking away.

HBK was the other obstacle. Apparently, he was acting like he was Maria's boyfriend and being very overprotective against her. Wait a second. Could HBK be her...?

"John! Are you okay?"

John snapped out of his thoughts and saw that he was in a zoo, with Mickie and her buds, Candice Michelle and Victoria, who were stopping to look at him after bending down to feed a little parrot in a cage. "What the hell?"

Mickie and her friends giggled. "John, we're in zoo" said Candice, grinning sympathetically at him. "Poor you, you seem so lost. What were you thinking about?"

"Nothing important" John said gruffly as he bent down to look at the parrot. Mickie, Candice and Victoria all looked at each other in confusion. Then as he was about to feed the parrot with the borrowed food from Mickie, he heard a pair of familiar feminine and masculine voices. John looked up and saw Maria Kanellis walking toward his direction, holding the forearm of Shawn Michaels, chatting away happily, and even giggling. This was the happiest he had ever seen her since the breakup, and she wasn't faking it, he could tell. As she walked closer, Maria laughed and her eyes happened to have glanced in his. To his surprise, Maria smiled at him (even though it was in a smug way), and looked back over at the animals. As she walked past with the Glow perfume filling into his nose, he heard her conversation and she was rambling on about how excited she was to meet someone after two months. She's happy without me John said to himself, smiling a little, She doesn't need me. Wait, I'm actually sad? I can't be. It's over. We're not together, and that's what matters. But lately, he's been feeling more and more wrong about that.

What John didn't realize was that he was thinking and staring after Maria, and Mickie and her girls caught all of it. Mickie was furious. He was staring after his ex, after all the time it took for her to get him? Oh hell no she thought, I gotta eliminate that girl before he falls back in love with her.

Maria sighed happily. "Oh Shawn, those were the lamest jokes ever, thanks for that." She giggled again, for no reason this time as she picked up her rested head off of HBK's arm. They were walking away from the monkey exhibit.

HBK smiled. "Nobody laughs at those jokes but you Maria, and that scares me."

"I just picture what the jokes look like and it's funny." Maria looked up at HBK. "You know what? You're a great friend HBK."

"I try" He said to her, launching her off in a series of giggles again. He stared after her. "Are you sure you're okay?" He loved to see her especially happy this time, if only she knew how her smile and her laughing brought so much light into him. "Look, if that guy spiked your drink back there, then..."

"No Shawn" Maria struggled to say through her laughing. She eventually got her air, and looked over at a parrot in a cage. But before she could say this to Shawn, she saw John looking up at her, bending down in front of the parrot cage with a surprised expression. What, surprised to see me laughing and smiling? Maria smiled at him, raising her eyebrows in a mighty way. Take a good look John, because this girl is WAY over you. She looked away from him to point at the interesting animals to Shawn, and out the corner of her eye, she saw that John was smiling to himself, even though it looked different now. It was his sad smile. Now Maria was confused. He cheated on me, and he's sad to see me happy. That makes sense. Even though that wasn't probably the right reason, Maria could care less what John thought at this moment. She was too busy enjoying herself talking to her fans, petting the animals and-

"619! 619! 619!"

Maria stopped in her tracks, and turned back around to where the chants were coming from. People who didn't watch wrestling turned to look and stare as boys and girls ran to their parents with an autograph, or older people chat away happily at their chance to meet the one and only Rey Mysterio. Maria saw the back of his mask, and joy filled into her. She started to jump up and down like a little school girl. "Rey!" she squealed excitedly. Shawn looked over at her, grinning himself. He had last talked to Rey when she did (the WWE schedule took a toll on his life), and he was just as happy as her. But he wasn't about to embarrass the shit out of himself, jumping up and down like a girl, which is what he wanted to do, surprisingly.

John was looking over at Rey and grinning. He talked to the wrestler on a nightly basis. They were friends since John first got into this business. Rey was actually the first person to welcome him here. He glanced over at a girl jumping up and down excitedly, and saw that it was Maria who was that excited. As he watched her in confusion, the gears inside his head began to turn, and then it clicked as it grasped on to the conclusion of an answer. Rey was the person she hadn't seen in two months. He was yet surprised again at her connections with certain wrestlers, and he was about to be really shocked as to what was about to happen.

Maria waited as the crowd departed (a very LARGE crowd at that), before Rey patted the head of a little boy, and turned in her direction, looking at her. His eyes melted warmly at the sight of her, and Maria couldn't help herself. She dashed over to her friend and tackled him with a hug. "Rey!" She squealed again. Rey lost his balance and his back slammed into the camel cage, making the camel very upset and spit at them, but he missed. They both laughed. "Sorry" Maria said, and she rushed out to say, "I'm so sorry about not talking to you! I missed you Rey! I know you probably know about the breakup, and I lost your number and I was so busy, and-"

Rey put a finger to her lips, making her drop quiet. He was grinning at her though. "Calm down Maria, I can't even concentrate on what you're saying. You look beautiful" he added quietly.

"T-thanks" Maria stuttered, blushing brightly. She looked at him and saw that he was looking at her funny. Like he was in a daze. "Rey, what-"

Rey put a finger to her lips again and before Maria could say anything else, Rey grabbed her arms and pulled her down to him, kissing her deeply. Maria's eyes went wide as her lips connected with his. Was she expecting this as a welcome present? Maria pulled away from him quick, her whole face beet red. "Rey" she said quietly, shaking her head back and forth. She turned slowly and saw Shawn staring open-mouthed at her. There was gonna be a lot of explaining to do.

So how was that ending? Shocked my darlings? ;) bet you didn't expect that one did you...I guess you'll find out what happens afterwards in the next chapter!
