A/N - So, I'm not normally one to try to work on two stories at once, but while drumming up some future ideas for Lasting Legacy, this idea just popped in my head and I kind of fell in love with it. And I figured, no one's tried this particular pairing on this site, so why not give it a go?

Just a couple things you should know beforehand:

- This story, like my others, is all kayfabe. It uses wrestling and not real names, and wrestling and not real personalities. For example, as per the script, Cody is unfortunately, still Stardust, at least for now. The present day story is going to start around the time of the Diva's Revolution and is going to feature lots of flashbacks (starting with Starrcade '93) in between. If at any point anything is confusing or unclear or if you have any questions about anything, please review or send me a PM. I answer all reviews and am more than happy to clarify anything that seems off. On that note, I want to hear your thoughts too. I say this in all my stories but the way I see it, I'm publishing for you, so anything I can do to make the story what you want/are hoping to see, I will try my best to do!

Okay, enough boring stuff. Hope you enjoy the first chapter!

Charlotte Flair could barely catch her breath as she stood outside of Independence Arena, the home of Starrcade '93. She stopped to take it all in. Countless WCW employees had passed her by, stopping to acknowledge her father. The fans had lined up in droves outside of the gates, hoping to catch a glimpse at the wrestlers as they made their way inside. It was almost surreal and it was certainly the most overwhelmed the seven-year-old had felt in her entire life. At the same time however, it was the most proud, because Charlotte was going to get to see her father, the Nature Boy, the great Ric Flair, wrestle for the very first time.

Ever since she could remember, wrestling had been a part of her life. She didn't dream of being a wrestler one day like her older half-brother, 14-year-old David, nor did she eat, sleep and breathe it like her younger brother, 5-year-old Reid, but it was still important to her. Mainly, because it was her dad's job and there was no one Charlotte loved and admired more than her father.

When David was over, Charlotte would sit with him and her younger brother Reid and they would watch their father's matches when they were televised. She would listen intently as David would regale her with stories of being on the road with their dad, and would hang on every word, wondering when she would get the chance to go out with him herself.

That chance came on December 27th when the 10th Anniversary of Starrcade, the special event that led in part, to Ric Flair's rise to the top of the professional wrestling scene (the event was actually named after him, Starrcade: A Flair for the Gold), came to Charlotte, North Carolina.

After having tried with no prior success to convince Elizabeth, Charlotte and Reid's mom, to let his two youngest see a live event, the Nature Boy finally got his yes. Helped out by the fact that the event was in their backyard, a 20-minute drive away from where they lived and that it was a championship/career threatening match, Ric managed to convince his wife to let him take the kids to the show.

Charlotte's eyes glimmered when she heard the news. Sure her mother had set strict rules, but that didn't matter. She was finally getting a chance to see her father wrestle and nothing in the world compared to that moment.

"Take it all in baby girl," Ric said, drawing Charlotte away from her thoughts. "There isn't anything like this in the world."

Wrapping her arms tightly around her dad's neck, Charlotte smiled at him, causing Ric to smile right back.

"That's my girl," he whispered to her softly.

Ric took a moment to take everything in as well. This was his first time back main eventing a Starrcade in three years, it was the first time his career was possibly on the line, but most importantly, it was the first time he had all of his kids, well all except one since Megan was away at college, there to see him in a match.

Seeing the looks on Charlotte and Reid's faces were enough to make the night already almost perfect. Win or lose, be forced to retire or not, none of it mattered with his kids by his side.

Ric scooped up Reid with his free arm, holding both him and Charlotte as they faced the entrance doors. More than anything he had wanted to experience this moment with his two youngest, but he couldn't. There was a lot to go over, a lot to prepare for before this crucial match. So Ric hugged his kids close and left them with their older brother.

"You two be good for your big brother, okay?" Ric said as both Charlotte and Reid nodded in agreement.

"I love you all so much," he added as he handed Reid to David and put Charlotte on the ground. "I can't wait for you to see the match."

Ric took one last look at his three perfect kids before heading toward the arena. He had stopped to talk to one of the security guards he was close to, when he felt something or rather someone, wrapped around his waist.

"For luck," Charlotte said sweetly as she looked up at her father.

Ric beamed as he lifted his daughter into his arms. His eyes were welling with tears of pride, tears of joy.

"I love you baby girl," he said as he kissed her softly on the forehead.

"Love you too daddy," Charlotte said before leaning her head on his shoulder. "One more thing," she whispered in his ear.

"What's that baby?" he asked.

"Wooo!" Charlotte yelled, causing the security guard as well as some of the other wrestlers entering the arena, to smile.

Ric just laughed.

"She's gonna follow in her daddy's footsteps one day," he said proudly to anyone who might have been listening.

Charlotte nodded her head in agreement, realizing in that moment that maybe she was just like David and Reid, that maybe this had been her dream, she just didn't know it until right then.

"Ahem," David said as he carried Reid, who had crossed his arms and displayed a pout on his face, over to where his father and sister were standing. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

"Him too, both of them!" Ric shouted, this time drawing the attention of even more people. He wrapped his arm around his eldest son and ruffled his youngest son's hair. "This is the real Woo Nation, the future of this business! The Flair dynasty!"

Who was anyone to deny that?

Ric hugged the kids one last time before he watched David lead them to the family area.

"You're one proud papa," the security guard said as he escorted Ric into the building.

Ric just smiled. "You have no idea."

A/N - Short and sweet, probably my shortest chapter ever actually. So thoughts?
