A/N: I have always loved reading fan fiction. I am a huge fan of Steve "Sting" Borden and wanted to somehow incorporate him into a story. I am also a huge fan of MCMG, especially Sabin. So I had to create this fan fiction. I wrote most of the story but I am going to upload it a little at a time. Please let me know how you like this. I would like to make MacKenzie a permanent character. I prefer writing a story as though it is real life. Therefore, I use the wrestlers' real names. For those who don't know the real names of wrestlers, I will try to remember to put their ring names next to their names.

Summary: MacKenzie Borden is daughter of Steve "Sting" Borden. She has followed her dad into the world of professional wrestling. She stands behind her dad and his friends in the Main Event Mafia. But will her relationship with Josh Harter (Chris Sabin) threaten her relationship with her dad and the Mafia?

Additional Note: Please leave reviews but remember everyone has to start somewhere. Be kind.

Chapter One: Training Day

MacKenzie Borden was early; maybe a little too early. The ring crew had just returned from their lunch break and still had to set up the ramps and the entrances. She had hoped to arrive early enough to practice some new wrestling moves. However, it didn't appear anyone else had arrived at the Impact Zone yet. Just as she was about to leave and return to her hotel room her cell phone rang.

MacKenzie: "Hey daddy, where are you?"

Steve: "I'm at the airport. My flight was delayed so I just arrived. Where are you?"

MacKenzie: "I'm at the arena. I stopped by to practice some moves but no one's here yet? How soon can you be here?"

Steve:" I can be there within the hour. I have to get a car and stop by the hotel first. Try to find someone who can help until I get there, okay sweetie."

MacKenzie: "Okay, but hurry. I don't want to waste what little time I have before I have to do my photo shoot."

Steve: "Don't worry; I'm sure someone will get there before I do."

MacKenzie: "Great. Be careful. Love ya!"

Steve: "Back at you, kid!"

Twenty minutes later:

*Josh Harter and Patrick Martin (Alex Shelley) arrive at the Impact Zone.

Patrick: "Dude, I think I forget something at the hotel. I'm going to run back and see if I can find it."

Josh: "Okay, oh while you are out, get me stop and get me a new battery for my camera. I think this one needs to be replaced. I've charged it twice already today and it is already about to die."

Patrick: "Okay, hey is that MacKenzie over there?"

Josh: "Yeah, I think I'll go talk to her til you get back."

Patrick: "Yeah, you go do that. See how long it takes before she walks away."

Josh: " Ha Ha Ha, you are sooo funny!"

Josh approaches the ring area.

Josh: "Hey Kenzie, you looking for somebody?"

MacKenzie: "Actually, I am. But you'll do. I need someone to help me work on some new moves I thought up last night. You game?"

Josh: "Sure, never let it be said that I turned down an opportunity to spend time with a beautiful woman."

MacKenzie: "So, there are four moves that I want to practice. The first is a variation of my dad's Scorpion Death Lock. I was watching some old wrestling videos on YouTube last night and I saw Muta do a chin lock while doing a standing figure four. So I figured that perhaps I could try to incorporate that into list of submission techniques.

Josh: "Okay, so basically you want me to let you stretch me like a pretzel?"

MacKenzie: "Yeah, I'm glad you understand. My second move is that move that Marc Calloway (Undertaker) is using. You know the triangle chokehold."

Josh: "I don't think this is going to work out in my favor is it? What do I get out of the bargain?"

MacKenzie: "You're right; you deserve something for helping me out. How about after the show tonight, we go out to dinner, my treat?"

Josh: "Okay, but on one condition. We don't call it returning a favor, we call it a date."

MacKenzie: "A date? Okay. Sure."

While they are practicing in the ring, Steve arrives and watches from the stands. After about thirty minutes, MacKenzie leaves the ring area and heads to the back. Steve walks to the ring and pushes Josh.

Josh: "What's that all about man?"

Steve: "Stay away from her. Don't look at her, don't talk to her, and don't even think about her. Do you understand me?'

Josh: "Dude, she approached me. She asked me for help. Besides she looks old enough to make her own decisions in who she hangs out with and who she doesn't"

Steve: "I'll say it one more time, stay away from my daughter. If you have any brains at all, you will heed my warning."

Josh: "Whatever man. "

Later that night, after the show.

MacKenzie: "Hey Jason (Christian), have you seen Josh?"

Jason: "Yeah, he left about ten minutes ago. Said that he was heading to the IHOP down the street."

MacKenzie: "Thanks."

Jason: "No problem. If you see him, give him this. He left it in his locker room."

MacKenzie: "Sure."

MacKenzie arrives at IHOP pissed off and full of steam.

MacKenzie: "So did you forget about our "date" tonight or did you just decide to stand me up?"

Josh: "Look, I was told to stay away from you. So I decided to follow orders and since I can't be around you I wasn't able to cancel our date. I should have sent word to you but I didn't want to cancel through a messenger."

MacKenzie: "So standing me up was the better option. Can you give us a moment guys? Thanks!"

Josh: "Kenzie, please. Let's just drop this. Your dad is going to blow a gasket if he hears we are here with me."

MacKenzie: "So it was my dad that told you to stay away. I had hoped it was one of the goons. I love them all, but they still treat me like I'm five years old need a babysitter. Look, I'm 23 yrs old. I make my own choices, whether they approve or not. I decide who I go on dates with and who I don't date. Okay?"

MacKenzie: "So, have you ordered yet? Because, I could eat a horse right now."

Josh: "No, we were about to order when we saw you storm in and charge the table."

MacKenzie: "I did not storm the table. Where did they go by the way? Hey guys come back and sit down."

Patrick: "You sure it's safe to come back. "

Jeremy (Eric Young): "Man, you are scary when you are mad. I seriously thought you were going to deck him."

MacKenzie smiles sheepishly, "Shut up. I admit I was furious but I did not charge in here."

MacKenzie: "Okay, are you ready to order? I'll have a short stack of chocolate chip pancakes, two eggs sunny side up, two orders of sausage links, and a sweet tea to drink."

Josh, Patrick, Jeremy, and Petey Williams all look at her with their mouths hanging open.

Josh:" Good Lord, do you always eat like that?"

MacKenzie: "No, sometimes I eat more. Why?"

Petey: "More, I think you just ordered the equivalent of breakfast and lunch. I have to watch you eat this. Five dollars says you can't eat it all."

MacKenzie: "Okay, but clarify something for me. Is that Canadian or US dollars?"

Petey: "Depends on who wins. You win-Canadian. I win-American."
