This is a happy lil song fic in the tune of Evan and Jaron's "The Distance". Happiness is cleanliness and cleanliness is Rhyno... wait... That's kinda wrong... Oh well, there goes me sounding all smart and stuff. The order of voices (AKA: Who says what, in what paragraph) is: Stephanie, Rhyno, Stephanie, Stephanie, Rhyno, and then Stephanie again. You can kind of figure that out, but I thought, *just in case* I should have it just so ya know for sure. I don't think these lyrics are in order... cuz I kinda got some of it off the radio... so don't believe what I hear. Julia is Rhyno's sister.She's mine. Besides her, I own nothing. Vince owns the characters (AND THESE TWO BELONG TOGETHER... and Raven belongs with that girl from New Jersey, conveniently named, Sarah... but never mind about that :) And I guess those two guys (Evan and Jaron) own the song. If not, then their lawyers do, but I'm not making money off of this... so it shouldn't matter. Especially since I'm poor anyway. That's all. Rock on! And Respond... *begs* Please!

The sky has lost it's color
The sun has turned to gray
At least that's how it feels to me
Whenever you're away
^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^
It's been a couple of weeks since I last heard from Rhyno. I've been so depressed, that even Raven would be fearful for my sanity. Nothing can cheer me up, nothing. Everyone has been extra nice to me, but I don't think I've smiled since the last time he called. During evening calls for the shows, I go outside when it's still sunny. Sunshine used to be one of my major pick-me-ups. But now, Rhyno is. So even the sunshine is dark to me. Everything is dark and gloomy and depressing. The only thing that will make it better and cheerful again, would be if he was around.
^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^
I crawl up in the corner
As I watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time when you'll be back
You're coming back
^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^
Here I am sitting in the corner of a gloomy, kinda frightening hospital room, with my dying sister and my best friend. I watch the clock because I want to be out of this place. Out of Detroit. Out of listening to my family. I want to be back home with my Stephanie. Yep. I've decided she's mine. Well, actually Raven decided for me. My sister Julia woke up for a couple of minutes and the first words out of her mouth were 'got a girl, man-beast boy?' My baby sister always had a one tracked mind. Before I can even say anything to her, Raven perks up and says 'yeah. Stephanie McMahon. He's in love with her.' And she gave me the finest words of advice I think I've ever got, 'if you're so in love with her, why are you here? You should be following your heart and let the dying die in peace.' My sister always was the one person in the family who would give you the straight answers to your face. She would never candy coat anything. I told her, 'My heart is spilt in two. Part of me loves her, and the other part has and will always love you.' She looks at me and smiles, 'I love you big brother. And you too Raven. You need to stop obsessing over me, and find someone new. Bah..bah..bah... Don't say anything. Rhyno keeps me informed on your love life, or therefore lack of. Remember you two, let the dying stay dead.' And then she closed her eyes. And her heart monitor went crazy and now the doctors said she went back into a coma. So now, because my family is not taking responsibility for anything that happens to her, Raven and I, the only real family she has left, are sitting here, holding her hand, waiting for to pass on. I feel so bad, because in those long hours when she wasn't responding, all I could think about was Stephanie and now after she got up and talked, Stephanie is all I'm *still* thinking about. I feel my hand being squeezed and the monitor makes one last beep, before the silence.

I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time
Until the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^
The thing that is bothering me the most is how far away he is. He's half the world away in Michigan, and I'm here. Sitting, lonely, all by myself. If I didn't have any dignity left in me, I would be perched on the sofa, like Raven always used to do. Opening your dressing room door, and then seeing him sitting and 'thinking' on the top of your couch, is a rather odd sight to see. I look down at my hands and see the picture I'm cuddling. It's a picture at some nameless party and there's Rhyno with his arms around me smiling. When he smiles, he lights up the room. I've thought long and hard about this. Maybe he realized long ago, how bright and beautiful his smile is, and that's why he never smiles. He keeps it bottle up and only opens it to show the people he really cares about. He would smile at me every morning when I woke up.
^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^
And I'm not ashamed
That I can't take a breath without saying
your name
I can brave a hurricane
And still be standing tall when all the dust has
settled down
But I can't take the distance
^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^^~~^
I haven't been talking a lot lately. Normally, I could talk for hours and hours. But, I just don't feel good inside enough to talk and let people know what's going inside my head. Because anytime I talk, his name is always on my lips. Tazz has even had to wake me up from some of those nightmares I get (thank you so much, Chris-I'm-a-idiot-Jericho) and in the morning he tells me that I end up crying and saying Rhyno's name over and over again. And that's how I would get myself back to sleep. I don't understand this. I'm Stephanie McMahon. I can do anything. I am a Bitch with a capitol 'B'. I can stand up to Stone Cold with something so stupid as Hurricane Helms being out with his friends. Yet, just the thought of Rhyno not being around, brings me to tears. He has become more then just my protector and friend. He's become mine. And I can't take the fact that we're so far apart. I miss him and need him.

I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time
Until the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
I make believe you're close to me
But it ain't close enough
Not nearly close enough

Here I am on a plane on the next flight back. I don't even know to what city. Where ever Stephanie is that's where I want to be. Raven handled all those minor details. I just want to go back home. Away from my family bickering over whose fault it was. Away from the memory of my sister's death. She'll live forever in my heart and mind as the innocent little sister who used to ask me to protect her when she would go out to the supermarket. Away from everything and back to my everything. The person I've thought nonstop about. A couple of times, I pretended that she was next to me. When Julia finally died and squeezed my hand, Stephanie was there to squeeze my other hand. When Julia was laid into the cold, hard, and un-caring ground, there was Stephanie standing next to me. Waiting to catch me if I tripped holding up her coffin in the procession. She was everywhere. I could smell her. I could taste her. I could sense her. Yet, deep down, I knew she wasn't there. All my hoping and imagining never would last. I realize that imagining is not the same as being close to her. To really see her and touch her and smell her. I hope this plane will land soon. I've missed her. I can't take the distance between us.

Here I am. Another trivial day. Nothing excites me since he left. Nothing has caught my attention. I get bored so easily lately. They've been gone so long. Almost a month and a half. And so far away. Every show, we seem to be getting further and further away. This is driving me mad. If I don't see him soon, I'm sure I do something drastic and melodramatic. It's the McMahon way afterall.... Sigh.
I wonder who that is knocking on my door. Tazz isn't due back for a couple of hours. He went off to go out with Buh-Buh and D-von. I open door. There he is. With an arm full of flowers and Raven. I squeal and hug him. He seems to sigh in relief. "I've missed you so much!!" I kiss him on the lips, and that wave of electric seems to go through my body again. I've missed that feeling. "I've missed you, too. More then words can describe." He smiles and I kiss him again. Raven cuts in "Are you going to let us in or not? My arms hurt!" What a whiner. But, I'm way too happy to be mean... for now... "Get in! Come on in!" I reach out and take Rhyno's hand and his smile grows even bigger. "Oh, Rhyno, you could defiantly describe in words how much you missed the princess. You talked none stop about it for the entire plane ride, and then some." Rhyno blushes and I think that's the cutest thing ever. "Come here handsome...." And I lean over and we kiss for a couple of minutes. The bolts of electricity soaring through out my entire body, sending shock waves from my brain to my feet and back again. He pulls apart and whispers to me, "I couldn't take the distance anymore"
