This story takes place 4 years after the final chapter of Destiny is Knocking on my Door…this is completely AU, since I'm not a psychic (though that would be awesome…) and basically, read and enjoy!
The door to a huge brick house opens and a tall blonde is standing there. She has hazel eyes, a woman's figure, and she is pretty much all legs. She smiles at the camera crew there.
"Hey MTV, I'm Mack Winters from Phoenix, and this is my Crib." She lets the cameras in side and she takes you to the first room.
"This room…no one sits in…no one even goes in…my Grandma said everyone has to have a room like this, so I have one." She smiled. The furniture is all white, and there's a white carpet and everything is well…white. Above the mock fireplace was a painting of a woman who had long black hair but the same hazel eyes as Mack. She had a small smile on her face and it seemed like she was looking right at you.
"That's my mom…Isabella Winters…she died when I was 14 in a car accident…whenever I'm feeling down about something, I come in here and I just sit and look at her picture…one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the planet." With that, Mack got up and continued the tour. Next stop was the TV Room.
"This is where EVERYONE hangs out. My best friends, roommates, and members of Phoenix, Shane, Lance, and Chris are in there with my girls Shania and Sammie. Over there, you see we have the plasma TV, and the stereo system…gotta have one of those…this is MTV! Now, over to the DVD's…I know, everyone goes over and picks out Scarface…great movie, but I have something that will blow everything out of the water…Family Guy: When You Wish Upon a Weinstein. That's a DVD right there."
(A/N: FAMILY GUY ROX!)
She walks over to another room to the right of a huge stairway. It's decorated with a lot of trophies and surf boards, and statues.
"This is my office. All of my awards, all of Phoenix's awards, they all are in this room. These are the Teen Choice Awards we won for Breakthrough Band, and Best Crossover Band…This is our VMA for our video Move Your Body…This is my Grammy for Songwriting for Girl in the Mirror…and this is our platinum record. Thanks to everyone who bought Ready to Fly, Phoenix's first Album…it won't be the last, and we really appreciate it."
She walks over to a wall with a lot of pictures on it.
"This wall is of pictures of me and the guys with a lot of Celebrities. Me and my dad, Me and the entire WWE at Summerslam, The Band at the VMA's, that's us at Nick Hogan's 18th birthday party last summer, shout out to Nick, Uh, that's us on our first appearance on TRL, just so many memories…OH, my favorite picture…this is me at 14…I was paralyzed for a while after an accident, and this is the first ever live Phoenix performance ever…I stood up for the first time in front of everyone. That picture means a lot to me."
The cameras follow her to the Kitchen.
"Well, here's the kitchen. I know every celebrity says that they don't cook, and they hardly are ever home…not me. I love to cook, and I love food, and I come home whenever I can. In the fridge…some left over spaghetti, uh, some juice, a lot of Stinger…can't live without that, OOH! Sammie's cheesecake…don't tell her." Mack takes the cheese cake out of the fridge. "On to the bedrooms!" She goes down the stairs happily.
"Okay, that's Shane's room, that's Chris's room, that's Lance's room…we keep the boys in the basement…oh ladies…they're all free and single, and ready to mingle. Also down here, is the game room. We have PS2 Tournaments all day everyday…and Shelton Benjamin, just cause you beat me in Madden, doesn't mean you'll beat me in SD. Vs. RAW 3…bring it on." she laughed into the camera. "Over here is the pool table, and the pin ball machines. The 70 inch plasma, perfect for video gaming…or watching PPV's…or sports events…yes, I TVo Monday Night Football and watch it after RAW…Gotta do what you gotta do!"
Mack then shows off her room and her closet. Then she turns to the camera excitedly.
"Now, I can show you the best part…outside." She grins. She goes outside and then shows us her car…a purple 240SX. "This is the car, the EXACT car that Michelle Rodriguez's character Letty drove in "The Fast and The Furious"…one of my absolute favorite movies. Over there, is the pool house that I converted into the gym." She looks out over the man made lake and sees someone standing on the other side. "Oh snap, I almost forgot…seeing how I'm only 18, and I'm still a complete daddy's girl…I didn't move too far from home. See, three years ago, my grandparents died and left my dad the house…right over there across the lake, is the site where my dad's 2nd video Right Now was filmed, and my dad's house where he lives with the world's best step mom and my cousin who practically lives there Marc Predka. Hold on, I'm gonna see if my dad's home yet or if he gets in tomorrow…" she put her hands up to her mouth and yelled as loud as she could. "HEY MARC! IS DAD HOME YET? MTV IS HERE AND I WANT HIM TO SAY HI!"
Marc shrugged and shook his head.
"Daddy's not home…oh well. SO MTV, you've seen my house, my car's, my awards…now…you don't have to go home, but you have to get the hell up outta here!" she sang before bursting into laughter. "Bye MTV, Look out for the Ready to Fly tour…coming to a city near you! WORDLIFE!"
"And Cut." The director called. "Great job Mack."
"Thank you…and I think it's awesome that Cribs did my house…did you get all of the dimensions from Chris?"
"No…sorry."
"It's alright…there are 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a game room, outdoor pool, and a gym." I smiled.
"Thanks, your episode will air in about a week."
"Thank you Mr. Owens," I smiled. I walked back into the house and flopped down on the couch across Shane Chris and Lance's laps.
"MTV is gone." I announced.
"Okay…"
"Shut up Shane and keep watching the movie." He just looked back at the TV while I thought about my life.
Shane and me broke up junior year…we stayed friends though. Dad and Ashley got married last year, she's awesome. We signed our contract on my 15th birthday, and Phoenix took off like a rocket. We were expected to begin touring soon on our first album that was called Ready to Fly. No one ever heard from Dawn again, and Bryce still had about 3 or 4 more years left.
Dad was currently the WWE Champ…he'd lost it to Kurt Angle, who lost to Jericho, who lost it to Danny Basham, who'd lost it to JBL…and Dad just kicked JBL's ass again. Shelton was the IC champ, and Matt and Jeff(who came back) were WWE tag team champs. Super Stacy (I love her, and I want her to stay Super Stacy) was the Women's Champ, and Ash was gunning for it. On Smackdown, Uncle Randy finally was the World Heavyweight Champ again, and Uncle Eddie was gunning for him. Paulie was the Cruiserweight Champ again (for like the 9th time I think,) and the tag team champs…Paul and Greg West…that's right,the Goon Brothersfrom Edmonton…they were wrestlers…I couldn't believe it when they showed up at a Smackdown show, but they did it and they're there. They wrestled under the names Kid Kool, and Kid Krazy. It worked…Greg was cool, and Paul was Crazy.
The guys were great…we all lived together…Sammie, Nia and me upstairs, and we did actually put the boys in the basement. I loved it. We all lived together, and we'd go to dad's to rehearse everyday…how'd we get to dad's? I had go-carts…they were awesome….we raced over there every day to rehearse…we still did it. I looked at the clock…dad was supposed to call any minute…he called everyday at the same time. But when my phone rang, it was someone I didn't expect.
"Hello?"
"Mack."
"Hey James, what's up?"
"Well, you know I work in marketing for Vans, right?"
"Duh."
"Well…they want you guys to be apart of…"
"SPIT IT OUT!"
"Warped Tour."
I dropped my phone and started to scream at the top of my lungs. Shane picked up my phone and spoke for a few minutes…only to have the same reaction. He pulled me into a tight hug and spun me in a circle. I had to call Nick and B. They were my best friends outside of the band. I dialed Nick Hogan's cell phone number.
"What's up girl?"
"Nicky…guess who's gonna be apart of Warped Tour?"
"No Way! Did you tell Bam yet?"
"Nope…I was gonna call him after I told you. Isn't this the greatest thing ever?"
"Yeah! Call Bam, then call me back, K?"
"Alright Nick…talk to you later."
"K, see ya." We hung up and I told Bam. Yes, Bam Margera. He and Nick Hogan had been hanging for almost 4 years…and if you hang with Nick long enough…you HAVE to get to know Bam…and Brandon, and Ryan, and Raab, and all of the weirdos that Bam hangs with.
"Yo!"
"Hey Dunn…Bam there?"
"Yeah Mack, he's in the driveway running from Vito…Vito's trying to run him over with the Hummer."
"Well, give him the phone for a sec?"
"Alrighty…HEY BAM! PHONE! IT'S MACK!" he yelled. About a minute later Bam got on the phone out of breath.
"Yo."
"What did you do this time?"
"Uh…nothing?"
"Nothing my ass Margera…what did you do to Vito? He's such a sweet guy!"
"Vito's a pain in the ass, but anyway, what'd you need?"
"Planning a party to out do Nick's 18th. I've gotta celebrate."
"What are we celebrating?"
"Next year, they want Phoenix to be apart of…WARPED TOUR!"
"NO FREAKING WAY!"
"YEAH! My boy James works for Vans, he just called and told me."
"You know I'm hanging around there just to hang around, right?"
"No, you're hanging around cause you have to do demos."
"Alright, you caught me…so when's the big party?"
"I'm thinking…next Saturday night…I'm pretty sure I have nothing to do. What about you Bammy?"
"One, don't call me Bammy, and two, I can come…as long as you let us camp out in your back yard…"
"No problem…just PLEASE, PLEASE don't mess anything up? And don't touch my car."
"The Silva's safe alright…I promise that no harm will come to your baby."
"Thank you Bam. Now, let everyone know, and I'm gonna call Nick back and tell him about the party."
"No problem."
"See ya Bammy."
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"I love you too."
"Bye."
"See ya!"
I laughed to myself and started calling all of my friends. Everyone knew that Phoenix was going to be on the 2010 Warped Tour…it was going to be awesome. There was only one person left to call…besides my dad of course and I dialed his number happily.
"Hello?"
"UNCLE RANDY!"
"Hey there Short Stuff, how're you?"
"Just really psyched…cause Phoenix is going to be on next year's Warped Tour!"
"Really? That's amazing…congratulations baby girl!"
"Thanks…I'm so psyched…and Bam and Nick are coming next Saturday…Party, are you game?"
"NO WAY, if Bam Margera and Nick Hogan are there, then something is going to get broken, and I'll have the urge to punch Bam Bam in the face after a while."
"Bam'll behave…I already made him promise."
"Wait a second, next Saturday? Shit. Sorry baby girl, next Saturday I have to be in New York for the Best Damn Sports Show Period."
"Oh…Well, that's cool."
"Sorry though…you know I'd have been there, no matter how much your friends annoy me."
"I know…but hey, I have to call dad now and tell him. K?"
"Alright…love you."
"Love you too."
"Bye."
"Bye."
I called my dad's cell and smiled when the voice on the other end answered.
"Hello?"
"HEY ASH!"
"What's up Mackie-o?"
"Nothing much…except that…The Band's gonna be apart of Warped Tour next summer!"
"You're kidding, right?"
"Nope…but I have to tell you something…can you keep it between us for a while though?"
"Sure!"
"Well, you know how Phoenix is gonna start the Ready to Fly Tour in a few weeks?"
"Yeah…"
"Well, thanks to the internet, and calling Stephanie McMahon ahead of time to get the schedule, we're gonna be in all of the cities the WWE is in."
"That's great Mack! You wanted to hang with us for a while?"
"Yes…and no…What's gonna start in about three weeks on Raw?"
"The Diva Search Finalists show up."
"Put two and two together Ash…"
"You mean you passed the prelims and everything for the Diva search? HOW?"
"NYC…I was there." I shrugged. "They liked me, and sent me through…I got the call three days ago that I was in the finals. I wanna do this Ash."
"You want to get in the business?"
"Yeah! I've wanted to since before Phoenix started…you know I love the WWE…I used to sit in the ring before the doors opened and just imagine it full of people. I'd imagine them chanting my name, and I'd just feel…I don't know, at peace with the world."
"I think that this is so Great…Have you told your dad yet?"
"Nope…that's why I called. Is he around?"
"He's at the gym with Shelton and I think Randy went down there about ten minutes ago."
"You guys get in tomorrow, right?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Great…I'll tell him then."
"Alright girly, I'll talk to you tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Love you."
"Love you too."
I hung up the phone and started to chase Chris and Lance around because they'd been mocking me the entire time I'd been on the phone.
Yeah, I guess you can say, that my life is pretty good now.
