I was asked to write this story by DivaliciousDooL, so the idea of the story belongs completely to her!

Please let me know what you think of the story so far (:

"You just graduated from law school, and you want to go into wrestling? What the hell are you thinking?" Mara's mom yelled at her while pacing around in the living room. It was true, Mara had just graduated from Harvard Law School, and now she was throwing it all away to join the WWE.

"You know it's always been a dream of mine, mother. Why can't you just be happy for me?"

"I can't be happy for you, because I spent so much of my money to send you to a school you begged me to go to! You're throwing it all away, Mara! I can't let you do that."

"You can let me do what I want to do and leave me alone about it. If you don't want to support me and my decision, then just leave, okay? Nothing is stopping you. I'm definitely not going to stop you. I don't need you in my life if you're not going to be supportive of me. I'll send you a check once a month to pay you back for all the money you spent to send me to college. When you decide to support my decision, you can let me know. But until then, I don't want you in my life anymore."

"I can't support your decision, because you're throwing your life away." Mara simply and silently shook her head and looked down at the floor.

"You don't understand, mother. Wrestling has always been a dream of mine, and I've finally gotten the opportunity to do it. Nothing is going to stand in my way. Wrestling is my passion, and it is what will make me happy. Just let me live my life; let me do what I want. Right now, being a lawyer is not what I want. I want to be a WWE Diva. I'm going to be a WWE Diva, whether you like it or not." Mara looked up at her mother, who was standing there with her eyes wide open and her teeth clenched together. "Now please leave."

Mara watched as her mom sighed and walked out of her front door. She had to admit, she felt slightly sad, but she didn't need anyone bringing her down. That's all her mother would do. She walked silently into her bedroom and began packing her suitcases. She was leaving tomorrow to start her new life in the WWE. Everything was going to be completely different for her. She started training the day after tomorrow and she had no idea who her trainer was going to be, yet. She got to meet them as soon as she landed tomorrow, though, since they were picking her up from the airport.

Mara stuffed all the clothes she could into her first suitcase. When that one was full, she stuffed the next one with shoes. Her last bag was for her personal hygiene items. As soon as she was all packed, she crawled into bed and fell asleep, excited about the next day.

The plane ride from Massachusetts to Los Angeles wasn't as long or as horrible as Mara thought it was going to be. Six hours after taking off from Massachusetts, Mara's plane was landing in Los Angeles, where the WWE would be for the next two weeks. Mara could hardly control her excitement as she exited the plane and found her way to baggage claim to collect her bags.

John was putting on his sneakers when there was knock on his door.

"Door's cracked, come in!" He looked up when he heard the footsteps enter his room. "What's up, man?"

"Don't you have some new chick to go pick up from the airport?" Randy asked his best friend.

"Nah, I sent Eve to get her. I figured she'd be more comfortable meeting a girl first before meeting me. Anyways, I'm supposed to be training her, so she's going to be stuck with me for a while. I might as well let her meet one other person before I make her put all of her time into training."

"You're going to end up killing her with how you've been talking about it. She's new, maybe you should take it easy."

"If she's as serious about this business as she seems to think she is, then what I have planned for her is going to be super easy. She just graduated law school and decided to be a Diva. Who even does that?"

"I guess she is passionate about it, then. If Alanna ever did that to me, though, I'm pretty sure I'd want to kill her. Well, not literally, but you know what I mean."

John raised his eyebrows at his friend before chuckling and throwing a pillow at him. Sometimes things Randy said were very inappropriate, and luckily half the time he was just kidding.

Mara looked around for someone that looked familiar to her. She wasn't sure who she was supposed to be looking for, and didn't understand why no one could tell her who was picking her up. Her eyes scanned over the faces of everyone in the airport before landing on one person she thought she recognized from the World Wrestling Entertainment world. She smiled slightly before walking up to the woman scanning the room just as Mara was a few short seconds before. Mara's heart was speeding up out of excitement and nervousness. She couldn't believe this was actually happening.

As soon as Mara made it to the woman, she smiled widely and extended her hand. "I'm Mara Blair, I think you're supposed to be picking me up." The woman in front of her grinned widely as well, and instead of taking her hand, she embraced her in a huge hug. Mara's eyes widened, taken aback by the hug. Nonetheless, she hugged back.

"I'm Eve Torres, which you obviously know that. I was getting nervous. I had no idea who I was supposed to be looking for. I'm so glad that you've joined WWE, and I know we're going to be great friends. I can't wait to get to know you. Well, in the little time I have to get to know you. I know your trainer is set on keeping you busy for a while. He probably won't even let you have much free time, be prepared." Eve was talking so fast, and barely taking any breaths. Her words began to jumble together and soon Mara couldn't understand what she was saying. She suddenly stopped. "I'm sorry, I'm talking so much. I have a tendency to do that with new people. I just get so excited. Like, I've been so excited to meet you since John told me earlier to come pick you up from the airport." She stopped again. "Crap, I just told you who your trainer is. I wasn't supposed to let that slip. Just act surprised when you see him, don't let him know I told you. He'd probably glare at me until I melted into a puddle on the floor."

Mara giggled quietly. Every time Eve talked, she talked a mile a minute. Mara never understood how anyone could talk that fast. Then it hit her. John Cena was going to be her trainer. She had been a huge fan of his ever since he came into the WWE. Even if he was going to make her life hell in training, she couldn't wait, and couldn't have asked for anyone better to be trained by.
