::-:: Forward ::-:: Stephanie McMahon's seen quite the competition in her day. Having had countless problems in her own right at her father's federation, WWE. However, because of those problems, the competition here at BBWF has begun to believe those timeless rumours that Stephanie is nothing more than a waste of roster space. Can Stephanie prove to everyone that she's not? Will she do what she claimed she would and beat Lightning for the Intercontinental title? And… will she accept Trish's offer? ::-:: End Forward ::-::

The scene fades into a shot of a dark moonlit sky. The smell of rubber and asphalt assails your nose while a black limousine comes driving up to the back doors. The letters "ECW" are plainly marked on the license plate and Chris Jericho steps out of the limo. He holds out his arm invitingly and Stephanie McMahon steps out, her arm linked in Chris'.
Chris and Steph!
{:: The BBWF Princess Stephanie McMahon ::} Ah… You know Chris? It's great to get out for a while… I mean, back at WWE? We were so bogged down in all Vince's crap..

{:: The Living Legend Chris Jericho ::} Oh I know.. And to think! Your father said that together we'd never get anywhere in this business.

{:: The BBWF Princess Stephanie McMahon ::} Ah.. But that's where he was wrong.

The two smile and Chris kisses Stephanie's cheek. The two of them walk inside, heading to their distinct locker room and they sit down. Chris smirks arrogantly, the two former WWE titles draped over his shoulder as a reminder to everyone just who the king of the world really is. Stephanie picks up a piece of paper, casually lying across her coffee table border=1 and her mood changes. She picks up the remote control and hits 'Play' and Lightning's promo begins to stream past her.

{:: The BBWF Princess Stephanie McMahon ::} Excuse me!? Still the same whiny WWE bitch? I'll need Chris to carry me out of mindgames? Who in the hell does she think she's dealing with?!

Stephanie turns off the VCR and slams down the remote control, her lips pursed in thought. Chris looks a little wary of the situation and edges away. A light seems to click on and Steph's eyes light up. She smiles vindictively and stands up. Chris makes the move to rise, but she holds her hand out toward him, as if telling him to stay.

{:: The BBWF Princess Stephanie McMahon ::} Chris? What I have to say, you don't really want to hear…

Stephanie stands up and heads out of the locker room, looking pretty mad. Chris watches as she leaves and his smile grows a bit wider.

{:: The Living Legend Chris Jericho ::} She better believe I'm getting this thing on tape!

We fade out to the live audience, where Jerry Lawler and Hollie Wood are sitting by.

{:: The BBWF Femme Hollie Wood ::} Can you believe Stephanie McMahon? I mean, she actually thinks she has a chance at beating Lightning!

{:: The Puppy Lovin' Jerry Lawler ::} She's a McMahon Hollie! And I don't care who you are, a McMahon does anything and everything in their power to win! I think Stephanie'd hire a hit man if she could get away with it!

"God damn I love me….."

"Tear Away" by Drowning Pool hits the PA system and Stephanie McMahon comes out from backstage. She has her signature snarl on her face and she walks down the ramp to the natural chorus of boos. She steps into the ring, apparently ignoring every single fan in the arena.
Stephy Mac looks pissed

{:: The BBWF Femme Hollie Wood ::} Somehow, I don't think these fans like her…

{:: The Puppy Lovin' Jerry Lawler ::} Somehow I don't think Stephanie cares!

Stephanie gets the microphone from Lillian Garcia and looks out to the crowd. Her eyes narrow as they begin to chant "slut" at her repeatedly.

{:: The BBWF Princess Stephanie McMahon ::} Oh give it a rest you stupid hicks! You can't get over the fact that this isn't WWE anymore can you? But hey, I guess that's okay because apparently nobody else can either. I mean, Lightning is stuck in the past, Shawn chooses to remember the past because apparently his present isn't looking very good, and well… to be honest I think everyone here thinks the same. They all like to live in the past. See, Lightning can sit and judge, and point fingers because this is the first big show she's ever made it to. She knows I can't come back with some witty remark about her past "achievements" or what not because, let's face it, she doesn't have any. Yes, my wins may have been tainted at times, but I've pulled off plenty on my own. I may not go out and slap the taste out of people's mouths before I pin them, but what I do is called taking a calculated risk. I don't put myself into lose-lose situations. That'd be stupid.

{:: The BBWF Princess Stephanie McMahon ::} You see, I already admitted it. My match at Mindgames was NOT what I intended it to be. But, can you really blame me? I'm in the ring with a woman who's breasts are bigger than her entire head, and a woman who's flinging her hair around like some sort of weapon. Honestly, if the match were to throw them over the top rope say… like in your case, then I'd have been finished and won long ago. But no, mine was a real wrestling match dear, something that you've yet to go through with me. It's kind of like how you pointed out before your match for the Intercontinental title. You'd never wrestled them, and they'd never wrestled you so you were both at the same point. Well I don't see how this would be any different. If you want honesty? Ask Shawn. He knows better than anybody, you can't judge a wrestler on any given night. Because nobody ever performs the exact same way, with the exact same life. They go in at different ratios and aspects that you can never prepare for. Don't they Shawny boy? But, the minor obvious mark aside, I think it's time to address something a little more personal.

{:: The BBWF femme Hollie Wood ::} About time she got to Lightning herself…

{:: The Puppy Lovin' Jerry Lawler ::} Hey! Stephanie has a perfectly good reason to bring all this up! So Lightning will finally pay attention!
Stephy's speaking dammit!

{:: The BBWF Princess Stephanie McMahon ::} You see… Lightning, I did hear you. I heard you loud and clear. About how if I listened properly I'd hear that it's your mouth running all the time instead of Shawn's. My mistake. Maybe if you weren't so damn boring I'd have paid more attention! You actually expect me to sit through a bunch of bullshit that wasn't even directed towards me? Please honey! You obviously have too much free time on your hands. I have better things to do with my time than to listen to petty promos that have zero relevancy to me. And "as far as you can see, I'm still the whiny bitch from WWE" huh? Maybe you need some glasses them darlin'… because I was only stating the facts. Perhaps like the fact that Raven Black is in that match. And I'm not. I'm not Raven… I don't go for the lesser title, I go for the top. She's still brooding over her loss. And, while that's fine and dandy… even she told me to watch my back, which is obviously pointing at the fact that she believes I'll be the Intercontinental Champion by the time Mind Games is over and she's hunting it down again. So I guess you were the one who was wrong to think that everybody here believes I'm worth nothing in this ring. And as for the luck… I do thank Raven, but I doubt I'll be needing it. Especially when I've got my work cut out for me.

{:: The BBWF Princess Stephanie McMahon ::} Lightning thinks she's cute out here running off with the old names that Rock gave me back in the day. How I'm some dirty slut… pray tell Lightning. Just how did you approach that conclusion? Hmm? The fact that I dumped Test? The guy looks like a horse for pete's sake! Him being shoved along side me was the only way my father would ever fathom getting him over with the crowd. Hunter? I admit it. I did love Hunter. Until he showed his true colors. That little 'break up' fiasco on Raw was never planned. Hunter did that on his own free will. He shoved me away, and I'm the slut? That's funny how that turns out, really it is! And now I'm with a man who truly appreciates me for who I am. My father didn't force him to come by my side, and my father's company had nothing to do with it! Once Hunter abused me, Chris stepped in. It's not his fault he's still got a shred of chivalry left in him! So, again, tell me please… because I'm just dying to know… how am I the real slut around here Lightning? Hmm? Maybe when that mouth of yours can learn to answer that, you can open it again.

{:: The BBWF Princess Stephanie McMahon ::} Now Lightning, I have a question. Just a simple one really… but, how in the living hell do you plan on crippling me? Hmm? You said to ask the quote, "whores" you wrestled at Mind Games last week, but when I look around? None of them really matter. Except Raven who… look at that.. Is in the world title contendership match. Now, if you couldn't cripple her in a simple, gimmick match… how do you plan to do that to me in our match? You obviously couldn't do it last time… and you call yourself something to be reckoned with! My facts honey? They are straight. I'm walking in as a McMahon, and I'm walking out a McMahon. That's for damn sure. But what I'll also be doing? Is walking in as Stephanie McMahon, and walking out as the new BBWF Intercontinental Champion… Stephanie McMahon!

"Tear Away" by Drowning Pool comes back on and Stephanie slams the mic down, stepping out of the ring and heading up the ramp. Backstage, she's caught by Chris Jericho. He smirks, stopping her in her tracks.
The Cutest Couple

{:: The Living Legend Chris Jericho ::} What? That's it? No big bitchy rant? No threatening to make her life a living hell?

{:: The BBWF Princess Stephanie McMahon ::} Nah Chris… I didn't need to say those things. Because she already knows what's going to happen. She's just too naïve, or too depressed to realize the truth. You can't mess with a McMahon. You can't mess with any McMahon, especially when they always…. always have a backup plan ready!

Chris looks confused, but Stephanie smiles and walks down the hallway a ways. She motions for Chris to come meet her as she knocks on a locker room door. The person inside tells her to come in and she smiles, opening the door and Chris heads inside. She closes it behind her and it reads 'Trish Stratus and Shane McMahon'…
