Summary: Samoa Joe thinks Cheyenne is ready to wrestle in public but she is not ready to tell her father she is wrestling so she wrestles in a mask thinking her identity is secure. She was not prepared for the impact her arrival onto the wrestling scene would make or how curious people would be to get to know the girl in the velvet mask.
Chapter One – Cheyenne's Got Talent
As her fingers hit the keys that Friday afternoon at college Cheyenne's mind was somewhere else. Tonight she was competing in another match against Jessica Alveres, one of the top wrestlers in her class at Samoa Joe's Dojo. They already had two matches together and this was the third and final lockup between them. If she won Cheyenne would be at the top of her class and she would have beaten one of the best up and coming wrestlers in California. She thought about this as she played out her composition called 'God's Love'. She was half way through it and her lecturer was in tears. She had already played it for LC and Cameron who loved it but she was not expecting the emotional response form her teacher. As she hit the last bar se counted down the hours to her match against Jessica. Just three more hours to go. When she was done her lecturer Peter Jensen stood to his feet and applauded her, pretty much the same way that LC and Cameron did expect they hugged her too.
"Cheyenne that is your most beautiful piece yet, when you play the angels sing!" Peter said and Cheyenne was speechless. Mr. Jensen was not usually so generous with his feedback even though it was difficult not to be overwhelmed by Cheyenne's music. She had graduated at the top of her class last year and it looked as though she would be doing so again this year.
"Thank you Peter, that's very kind of you," Cheyenne replied modestly.
"Kindness has nothing to do with it Cheyenne, your music is beautiful it transcends this world. Your parents must be so proud of you," Peter Jensen said.
That they were, Shawn and Amy talked about Cheyenne's amazing musical talent constantly, thinking that music was her future after college but Cheyenne hadn't decided on that.
"Would you like me to play some more?" Cheyenne asked her lecturer, "I wrote some more pieces in addition to my final piece," Cheyenne said.
"Oh my yes!" Peter said and Cheyenne played as her lecturer listened delighted to be her one man audience this afternoon. Cheyenne's music had greatly improved and she knew that was because she was training to wrestle. One talent complemented the other and tonight she would hopefully prove that she was good at both.
Later that night at Samoa Joes' Dojo as the other students congratulated Jessica Alveres on a hard fought victory, over Jessica.
"How do you feel?" Joe asked Cheyenne. She was shaking the adrenalin of the last twenty minutes was still racing through her body.
"I feel great, I've never felt anything like that before," Cheyenne said still in shock that she has beaten Jessica Alveres, a student with more background and grater experience than Cheyenne had.
"You wrestled like a champion, in all my years as a teacher at this dojo I have never seen progression and skill like yours," Joe said.
"It must be genetic," Cheyenne said referring to her father Shawn Michaels.
"Don't do that, don't downplay your natural ability. You are a wrestler in your own right and it has been an honor to train you for the lat few months," Joe said.
Cheyenne picked up on something in Joe's words. "It sounds like you're not gonna be training me anymore," she said.
"That's right Cheyenne I'm not, you don't need anymore training. I thin you're ready to go out on the live shows," Joe said.
"What?" Cheyenne said in shock. "Are you kidding me?"
"No I'm not, I would never allow one of my students to graduate so quickly but for you I had to make an exception. I want you to do a couple of ROH shows here in L.A. and then eventually San Francisco, San Jose and San Diego," Joe said. "I want you to be a legend on the CA indy circuit,"
"Oh my goodness what a day, first my music professor cries at my final piece then you want me to go to ROH. What a great day!" Cheyenne said excitedly.
Joe smiled, "You are a very talented woman Cheyenne Michaels, have you thought about telling your family about your wrestling?" Joe asked Cheyenne and she shook her head that she hadn't.
"I think Amy, Uncle Hunter, Aunt Joe, my brother and LC would be cool with it but not my Dad," Cheyenne said. "So what am I gonna do when I go out there in front of all those people? What if somebody recognizes me?"
"Now don't you worry about that, I have prepared something that will both keep your identity a secret and create mystery," Joe said.
"Good," Cheyenne said, she didn't mind showing off her musical skills but when it came to her wrestling the more mysterious she was the better.
