As he approached his locker room, Y2J thought about another friend of his, Edge.  The tall Canadian had to have been so cranky earlier for a good reason.  Sure, the other man was a moody type of guy, but he rarely just snapped at his friends when they were in a good mood.

Chris thought about both of them - his two friends who were both feeling rotten during this time of year.  He wondered, really wondered... He'd suspected for awhile that Edge had feelings for Lita.  He wondered why the tall blond man hadn't asked her out since the redhead's relationship with Matt Hardy had ended.

Jericho was mentally planning what to say to his friend when he caught sight of a familiar form a few feet away, further down the hall.  He studied Stephanie McMahon's curvaceous body for awhile as her back was turned, debating with himself whether he should ask her out for Valentine's Day.  He knew for a fact that she hadn't been seeing anyone since her divorce from her ass clown of a husband, Triple H.  He'd always had a big crush on the brunette - even during the times he'd feuded with her and they'd tried to make one another's lives a living hell.

All of a sudden, Stephanie turned around, seeing Y2J instantly, her large blue eyes meeting his, and Chris was surprised when she headed his way - as though she'd actually been looking for him all along.

"Hi, Chris...I'm glad you're here," the brunette said.

"Hey, Steph."

"I need to talk to you," she said.

The blond man arched an eyebrow.  "What about?" he asked.

"It's about Edge," Stephanie said in a soft voice.  "Actually, it's about Edge and Lita."

"Really?"  Jericho found that ironic, since he himself had been thinking about both of them at that same moment.

"Come with me to my office, Chris - I'll explain there," the young woman promised, and he nodded, following her down the hallway.

Stephanie opened the door, stepping back a little to allow him to enter first before she stepped in as well, closing it behind her.

"So, what's this all about, Steph?" he asked.  He found it interesting that they were actually both thinking of the same two people.

"Well," the brunette began, walking over to her desk.  She stopped to lean against the edge of it and looked into his crystal-blue eyes.  "Trish Stratus came to me earlier with the intention of helping Lita.  You know what good friends those two are," she said, running her hand through her long hair.

"Yeah..."

"Well, according to Trish, Lita's really down on the holiday coming up tomorrow...And since she's my friend as well, I've decided to do something to help her - to raise her spirits."

"Really?" Chris asked.  "This is incredible, Stephanie - because I just ran into Lita out in the hallway a little while ago..."

"You did?"

"Yeah.  She was crying, and I asked her what was wrong."  As the brunette arched an eyebrow at him, Jericho continued.  "Like you just said, she's depressed about Valentine's Day.  Actually, I was really looking for someone else, but-"

Stephanie leaned forward with interest.  "Who were you looking for?"

"Edge, actually.  He's acting pretty much the same way Lita is - with the exception of the crying," Y2J replied.

"Interesting...very interesting," the brunette said, nodding a little.  She crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Chris, I just spoke to Edge myself..."

"Oh?" the blond man questioned, now arching an eyebrow himself.

"Yeah...I don't know if you know this or not, but ever since my stint as General Manager of SmackDown, he and I have become friends.  He was looking pretty depressed, and I believe I know why...Although I don't think it's only because of tomorrow."

"Well..."  Chris gazed directly into Stephanie's eyes, noticing the gleam in them.  He knew what that meant, as he knew her all too well.  She was cooking something up in that head of hers.  "So, what are you thinking about, Steph?"

"Chris, I'm glad we ran into each other," she said with a small smile.  "I have a little proposition for you..."

As the man continued to gaze at her in anticipation, she continued.

"It's so obvious they're in love with each other.  I mean, Lita talks about Edge all the time...and Edge talks about Lita all the time.  As a matter of fact, when I was talking with him just before, we were right near the women's locker room, and when she suddenly appeared to go in there...Well, he just seemed absolutely mesmerized," Stephanie said.  "One minute, he was talking to me, then she appears, and poof! - he completely lost his train of thought and just about forgot I was even there...I'd say that's love, all right.  So...what do you say you and I team up to fix those two up for Valentine's Day?"

Jericho's face brightened into a big smile.  "I say you've got yourself a deal."  He put his hand out to shake the young woman's, and the brunette let out a soft chuckle as she shook with him.
