| In her bedroom, Stephanie closed her door, and then withdrew a small box from her dresser. She opened the box and removed a wicked looking dagger. She poised to drive the dagger through her chest, ready to join her true love in death. �You know, there�s a shortage of perfect breasts in the world,� a voice interrupted her. �Would be a shame to ruin yours.� Stephanie spun around to face Chris, who was laid out on her bed. She set the dagger down and ran to him, kissing his face. �Oh, Chris, my love!� she cried. �I knew you would come for me.� She stopped. �But why don�t you kiss me back?� �Long story,� Chris assured her. �All that matters is that we�re together.� �But, Chris, I�m married.� �Did you say �I do�?� �No, we kind of skipped that part.� �Then you�re not truly married. And we�re both alive and together.� �A problem which will soon be remedied,� Hunter appeared in the doorway, fuming. �Is it so much to ask that you stay dead?� Chris laughed. �Maybe.� �What are you going to do?� Hunter asked. �I challenge you to a duel,� Chris told him. �To the death.� Hunter stated. �NO,� Chris told him. �To the pain.� �To the�pain?� �Yes. You don�t know what to the pain means? Well, then I�ll explain, and I�ll us small words so you can understand. To the pain means the first thing you lose are your feet below your ankles, then your hands below the wrists. Next your nose, which for you is quite a loss,� �And then my tongue I suppose, I killed you too quickly last time,� �I wasn�t finished. Next you lose your left eye, followed by your right.� �And then my ears, I understand.� �WRONG! Your ears you keep, so that every shriek, every scream, every cry of �Oh God what is that thing?� is yours to cherish, to echo through your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. I leave you in freakish anguish. And you�ll never�EVER�be the same again.� Hunter�s knees began to shake. �You�re bluffing.� Jericho smiled at him. �It�s possible, you Pinocchio nosed freak, that I�m lying here because I lack the strength to stand. However, I may just have the strength after all.� With that, Jericho stood, strong, holding his sword out in front of him towards Hunter. �DROP YOUR SWORD!� Hunter did. �Now, sit,� Hunter sat in the large chair in the corner of the room. Chris turned to Stephanie, �Tie him up.� Stephanie smirked and proceeded to do so. Molly came running into the room at that second. �Where�s Crash?� Chris looked at her. �I thought he was with you.� She shook her head. �In that case,� suddenly Chris lost his balance. Molly ran to him and supported him. Stephanie finished tying Hunter up and looked at the two. �Why does he need help to stand?� �He has no strength. He�s been mostly dead all day.� �HELLO!� the call went from down below the window. Molly, Stephanie and Jericho looked below to see Crash leading four white horses. �Crash!� Molly yelled. �What are you doing?� �I found these four white horses, and I figured, there�d be four of us if we found the lady, HI LADY!� Crash answered. Stephanie smiled and waved down at him. �Crash,� Molly smiled at her cousin, �You did something right,� �I had help!� Crash replied, motioning to a half smiling Raven behind him. �YOU?� Molly yelled. �Yeah, what can I say, I have a thing for tough chicks,� Raven answered her. Stephanie laughed and jumped from the window. Crash and Raven caught her. Molly turned to Chris. �You know, I�ve been in the vengeance business so long, I don�t know what else I could do.� �Have you considered piracy?� Chris asked before jumping. Molly considered the thought, and then joined her friends down below. They rode to the end of the kingdom, and as the sun rose over the mountains, Chris and Stephanie kissed. ************************************************************** �The end.� Lita ended. �Wait, wait, wait,� Jeff looked up at her. �They kissed? Can you be a little more descriptive?� Lita smirked slightly. �Not really. But,� with a glance at Matt, �I could show you.� And so, Lita locked lips with Matt, kissing him like they�d never kissed before. They say in the history of the kiss there has been four kisses rated the most passionate. This one blew them all out of the water. As the kiss ended, Matt looked at Lita and smiled. �Do you think you could tell that story to us tomorrow?� Lita smirked back him him. �As you wish.� |
