Chapter 1 - Arrivals

I packed my last few things, hugged my folk's good bye and got on the train. Destination Butlins in Minehead. It was the second year I had gone for their annual WWE weekend and this time I was traveling on my own. My friend who came with me the last time thought that the concept of WWE was barbaric and I didn't, it didn't seem worth ruining her weekend just so I could enjoy myself. I booked gold accommodation and was meeting the friends I had made last November and had been going to events with there. I put in my earphones and chilled out to my WWE cd. I couldn't help but smile to myself when CM Punk's theme came on; it was the same with Evan Bourne, John Cena and Zack Ryder. I loved some of the other themes too, but those four always held a special place in my heart.

A few hours later the train was pulling into the Minehead train station where Nate was waiting for me. He was one of the three roommates I had. We were joined by Nate's girlfriend Emily and Roxy, my best friend and Nate's cousin. I would be sharing the twin with Roxy while Nate and Emily took the double. I stepped off the train and made my way through the station. It was a good thing I wore my hoodie as it was pouring down rain. Nate blew his horn and flashed his lights at me. I dashed over and shoved my bags in the back seat and then jumped in the front. Grinning from ear to ear, Nate gave me a big hug. Nate was smiling like I had never seen before and giggling. He banged the steering wheel as we set off

"What gives Nate?"

"They are here!"

"Well dur of course Emily and Roxy are here, you drove them right?"

"No Kate! Them as in the ones this whole weekend is about!"

"WHAT? Are you kidding me?" I said gripping the dashboard not believing Nate.

"Nope, not at all! They have changed all of this weekend. There is a special party tonight only for Gold, Deluxe and Blue Skies people. Then tomorrow there are signings and other activities where we can spend time with them; then the wrestling. Then Sunday, I can't even believe I'm saying this but there is a day-trip for the first people who signed in this morning. You pick wrestler and they take you to check out Exmoor!"

"Some people are going to be very lucky then aren't they! I mean I haven't checked in and I guess there will be lots of other people checked in already."

"Yeah, but as we were here at 6am this morning we were the first to check in, and guess what, as you're in our party, you are in too!"

"Stop it Nate! You're joking, aren't you? You have to be. Things don't happen to me like this. I mean, it's just not…"

Nate handed me an envelope.

"Oh my god I think I'm going to be sick!"

Nate pulled the car into the car park as I stared at the pass in my hands. I didn't hear him get out of the car I was transfixed by the pass. The white, laminated pass with red writing that had a picture of Exmoor on it and two names: Kate Andrews and CM Punk. I swear my breathing stopped until my door opened and a soaking wet Nate stood there.

"Come on, you!" I released my seatbelt and pulled my hood up slipping the pass into my pocket. Nate locked the car and ran off gripping my hand and pulling me behind him.

"Nate my bags!"

"Already taken them!"

How long have I been sat in the car?

I followed Nate to our apartment. As we approached, the door opened and we ran in and out of the rain. Emily and Roxy and I screamed and hugged each other. It had been so long since I had last seen them.

"Come and see what I did with the room!" Roxy said, grabbing my hand and dragging me to the twin room door. "Wait, close your eyes!"

I did as I was told and I heard her open the door and she led me in.

"Ok, look."

I looked around the room; there were posters of Evan and CM all over the walls with our banner sign from the last tour on the back wall between our beds. I hugged her and laughed.

"You've been busy."

"Nah, this is nothing. Nate's banned Emily from pictures this year as she apparently spends more time looking at Randy then she does looking at him!"

We both laughed and fell on the beds. I reached for my bag and pulled out Punkie, my silver and grey teddy I had brought the last time I was here and named him after the one who I adored.

Roxy also had a teddy named after Evan. Airbee was an eagle, she said it suited him as he was fast and always in the air. Roxy and I made them a Facebook page where we posted pictures of them with the wrestlers we had met. Punkie had his profile picture set as him and CM back in April on the last UK tour. It was one of my favourite pictures.

"So I take it Nate told you all about this weekend? Starting in tonight's party and finishing with the day trip. Don't worry we secured CM for you!"

I nodded at her and pulled out my pass again and stared at it.

"Who did Nate choose? And what about Emily as none of her guys are on the Raw roster right now?" I said, we followed the shows religiously and knew where every wrestler were. Luckily for Roxy and me our boys were on Raw.

"Well Nate chose Beth and Emily… guess?"

"Well it's either going to be JoMo or Zack"

"Zack!"

"Nice! So, I'm assuming we're all going to be dying that day" I laughed. "I mean where are we going to be looking?"

"You know I wouldn't go after CM, I only have eyes for Evan! And Emily chose Zack as he will be fun. And anyway, hell, we wouldn't touch CM with a barge pole!"

"HEY!" I said rather loudly.

"No not in a bad way. But come on, if Emily or I touched him, you'd kill us!"

"This is true!" I laughed.

Emily knocked on the door and came in.

"Nate's gone to get us some food from the Spar so we can have some dinner, but I think maybe we should all shower and get ready. The party starts at eight and it's already half four." My towels were on the top of my packing so I grabbed them and dashed for the bathroom.

"That's not fair!" Roxy shouted as I shut the door.

"Ah come on she's gonna need the longest to get ready for CM, I mean, it takes a while for her to get the muck off!" Emily said laughing.

"I heard that!" I shouted through the door.

"You were meant to!" Emily laughed back.

I let the water cascade down my body thinking about the party tonight. I was debating only bringing my WWE shirts, but thank god I had a last minute change of heart.

I eventually got out of the shower and headed for my bedroom. Roxy had put a CD of the different wrestler themes on and dashed for the bathroom while Emily was helping Nate sort out dinner. I set out my clothes, Black trousers and my red halterneck top. I set my heels out to put on just before leaving the room. I was working on my makeup when Roxy came back.

It didn't take me long to dry, and as I had cut my hair it was easier to manage. I went to the lounge to give Roxy some peace while she changed. I put the Wrestlemania 28 DVD on and settled down with an ice-cold diet coke. I watched CM's match against John Morrison. CM Punk won as he completed the G.T.S.

At the end of the match I switched off the TV and had a bite to eat with the others, and then we headed out to the party. Luckily, it had stopped raining. We looked like superstars ourselves walking through the resort, and as we approached the party we realised that we were the only ones who had dressed up. Even Nate was in a suit. The security on the door let us through after checking our passes, and I almost passed out as I saw, lined up against the walls on either side of the hall that led to the dance area, the superstars.
