Amy winced at the kicks Benoit delivered to his opponent's midsection in the corner, but she soon found herself cheering as the momentum reversed to Edge's favor.

Amazingly, in the midst of the very awesome and intense bout between the two Canadians, the crowd erupted into a 'Lita!  Lita!' chant.  Amy realized that, somehow, despite the costume she wore, complete with delicate angel wings, the fans were probably expecting her to get physically involved - possibly take Benoit down with a hurricanrana when the referee's attention was elsewhere.

The redhead leapt out of the way as Benoit knocked his opponent down outside the ring, where he tossed him to the steel ring steps.  She winced again as the Wolverine delievered a dropkick to Adam's left shoulder into the steps.

"Come on, Edge!" she cried, banging on the apron as the two men returned to the ring.

The Crippler, very much a 'thinking man's wrestler,' again went for the tall blond's shoulder, ramming Edge hard into the turnbuckle.  Then, immediately after, Benoit slapped on a submission hold to further weaken his opponent's already injured bodypart.

Amy began to shout protests to the referee as Benoit shoved the blond man shoulder-first not merely into the turnbuckles, but the steel ring post.  And then, when she next got a good look at Adam's face, she nearly cried out, as he was suddenly suffering from a bloody nose.

Oh, God... A rush of sympathy shot through her as she hoped that his nose hadn't been broken.  She liked Chris Benoit, but damn it, he could be very brutal... The redhead promised herself that, one way or another, when this match was over and done with, she was going to take very good care of Adam - she would take away his pain, make him feel better.

"Yes!" she exclaimed as the advantage shifted back to Edge's favor.  The two men had been battling up on the top turnbuckle, but the blond had managed to execute an inverted powerbomb.  The diva in his corner jumped up and down with approval.

The action continued fast and furiously, and eventually, the Crippler caught the other man in the Crossface.  It appeared to Amy as though the tall blond man would manage to escape as he rolled over, but Benoit held on, and the hold had not been broken.

As Amy shouted words of encouragement, Adam reached out blindly for the bottom rope but instead grabbed a handful of referee Brian Hebner's shirt.

Then, the redhead glanced over to her right, surprised when she saw that Kurt Angle was running to the ring.  When the Olympian had reached the ringside area, he grabbed his tag team partner by the ankle, pulling him out onto the arena floor.  The two argued for awhile until Edge got back up and did a baseball slide dropkick to Benoit, who was instantly knocked into the Olympic Gold Medalist.  As both fell to the floor, the redheaded diva smiled.

The match came to an end when the blond man tossed his opponent back into the ring, nailing him with a spear.  One, two, three - it was over, and Edge was declared the victor.

Amy entered the ring, applauding, a grin on her lovely face as she eyed Adam, who was currently having his arm raised by the referee.  She edged ever closer to the tall blond man, a feeling of pride - and something else rushing through her - as she suddenly grabbed his hand and raised it herself.

The tall Canadian smiled as he gazed down into her hazel eyes, then reached out and wrapped her in a hug.  The fans cheered with approval, evidently not even minding that Lita hadn't put her two cents into the contest to give Edge a hand.  Then, as Amy pulled back slightly to stare up into his green eyes, she raised her hands, pulling his head down to hers and placed a lingering kiss on his lips.

The crowd erupted even more, cheering more loudly than ever, which slowly brought Amy back to her senses.  Abruptly, she pulled away, staring with shock into Adam's eyes, and she noted the look of vast surprise on his handsome face.

"Oh, God..." she managed to get out, but it was only the softest of whispers.  This had not been written into the script.  She had acted impetuously, following her heart and her emotions.  And although she'd wanted to kiss the tall blond man for awhile now, this was not the way she had envisioned doing it.

Before Adam could call to her or go after her, the redhead pulled free of his hold and rushed out of the ring.  She ran directly up the ramp to the backstage, not pausing for even a second to look back at him.

The Canadian stared after the diva in shock, hardly knowing how to react in the midst of being out here, in the ring after a match.  Then, running a hand through his hair, he rolled out of the ring via the bottom rope and made his way to the backstage area as well.
