Without further delay, here is the next chapter of Learning the Ropes, enjoy the chapter. As a special treat, it is a little bit longer as my thanks to everybody being so patient!

About three months after the tryout, BB was still completely anxious about how his tryout went. He was checking his phone almost every minute he could to see if WWE called. One day, BB was coming home after the gym when his cell phone started to ring. He didn't recognize the number right away, but decided to answer it anyway.

"Hello?" BB answered, wondering who in the hell this person was.

"Hello, is this Blaine Bonin?" The voice asked.

"Yes it is. May I ask who is calling?"

"This is Paul Levesque. How are you doing this afternoon?" Paul said which caused BB to almost scream.

"Oh my god. He's calling me directly! Does that mean I got the contract? SAY SOMETHING, STUPID! But don't talk too fast. You don't wanna seem too eager!" BB thought.

"I'm am doing alright. What can I help you with?" BB asks trying to keep his cool.

"My question for you is would you be able to make it to Florida by Saturday?" Paul asks which gets BB even more excited.

"By Saturday? Yeah I should have no problem getting to Florida. Any particular reason?" BB asks. Paul chuckles a little at his response.

"Actually yes. I remember from a few years back that your sister suggested you for a job since you were fluent in French. Would you be able to help us out again and make it to Daytona Beach for an NXT event?" Paul asks. BB's heart sunk a little after that.

"Well…shit." BB thought. "I shouldn't have got my hopes up that high. Either way, it can still happen. Hmm…NXT, huh? I've heard that those crowds are some of the most vocal and exciting crowds around. At least I'm getting an opportunity to prove myself in front of an audience."

"Yeah. It will be no problem at all. Thank you for keeping me in mind and I will see you Saturday." BB said as they both hung up. BB tosses his phone on his bed as he pulls out his laptop.

"I guess I need to start looking for tickets to Florida." BB thought as he starts his search. He didn't get very far before he hears a knock at the door.

"It's open!" BB screams as his sister comes through the door. "Why am I not surprised to see you here when there's a live event in Dallas?"

"How the hell did you know that I was gonna be in Dallas?" Kaitlyn asks hugging her brother.

"Katie, I know your schedule better than you do some days. Besides, mom told me you were gonna be in town." BB replies laughing as he gets smacked on the shoulder by Kaitlyn.

"Little shit." Kaitlyn remarks before looking over at BB's laptop to see what her brother was researching. "What exactly are you looking at Priceline for?"

"If you must know, I'm trying to find a cheap flight to Daytona Beach this weekend."

"Why are trying to fly do Daytona Beach? Why are you waiting until the last minute? You know that tickets aren't gonna be cheap." Kaitlyn replies as BB continues to look for tickets.

"Duh. I know that! But if Triple H calls you and wants you to appear at an NXT event, money is no worry." BB answered as he went back to looking for tickets—ignoring the fact that his sister is staring at him wide eyed.

"Did you say what I think you said?" Kaitlyn asked as her smile got bigger.

"If you thought I said 'Triple H called and asked me to appear for NXT on Saturday in Daytona Beach' then I said what you thought I said." BB replied matching Kaitlyn's smile with a smile of his own.

"I knew that WWE would come calling for you! Did he bring up anything about your tryout and a contract?" Kaitlyn asks. BB shakes his head no.

"Not yet. I wanted to ask him about it, but I didn't want to push my luck or seem too eager. Hopefully if I give a great job that it might push things in my favor." BB replies before groaning towards the laptop. "It's like these airlines think I'm made of money! Look at these prices!" Kaitlyn looks at the screen and reads the prices before she remembers something.

"Hey. I know a guy who works at Delta who can get you round trip tickets for a much cheaper price. What would you say about that, Blaine?" Kaitlyn suggests. BB thinks for a moment before hugging his sister.

"I would say that I love you more than I already do." BB says excitedly. "Thank you so much!"

"No problem. Just remember that I am the sweetest and most awesome sister you have ever had!" Kaitlyn replies as she pulls out her phone to call her friend.

Three days later, BB is pulling into the building where he was told to show up a few hours before the event began.

"Here we go…I'm just a few hours away from making my NXT live event debut." BB thought as he grabbed his bag from the trunk of the rental car and walks into the building. As he was wandering around the building, he managed to find the main area where the event will take place and saw that a full house would probably be about 500 people.

"Reminds me of the first live events I did with TNA. Brings back old times. I can't wait!" BB thought as me managed to find the main office where he was able to recognize Coach Bloom talking to one of the female wrestlers. As soon as she turned around, she saw him and recognized BB right away.

"It's the little Oklahoma badlad! How's it going, Blaine?" Becky asked as he gave him a quick hug before he could protest.

"I'm doing alright. It has certainly been a while since we've seen each other. Are things going good for you in NXT?" BB replied trying to regain his breath. She was a small girl, but damn if that hug didn't knock the air outta him.

"Certainly. Becky Lynch is taking a new direction so things are getting good. What are you doing here in Daytona?" Becky asked in reply.

"I got a call from Triple H earlier this week to see if I can help out with the event. So here I am." BB answered with a smile, which got Coach Bloom's attention.

"You must be the one that Paul told us about. It's good to see you. You look very familiar." Coach Bloom said shaking BB's hand.

"Yes. I was at the Performance Center a few months ago for a tryout. My name is Blaine Bonin." BB replied trying to keep a smile on his face. "Oh shit. The head coach doesn't remember me. That sucks! I wanted to make a lasting impression." BB thought as he shook Coach Bloom's hand.

"Bonin…Bonin…Oh yeah! The little kid with the French promo. I remember you now, kid. You shocked a lot of people with that. Anyways, we're glad you're here today because we are in need of someone with some of your skills. Now let me introduce to you who you'll be managing tonight." Coach Bloom says as he leaves the office for a second.

"Hmm…managing tonight. Interesting. I wonder who it is. Could it be Finn Balor? That would be AWESOME! Maybe it's…." BB didn't get a chance to fully complete the thought as Coach Bloom returned with a bearded guy who looked like a gladiator.

"Blaine, this is Sylvester Lefort. You will be managing him tonight in his match." Coach Bloom said as the two men exchanged handshakes and pleasantries. "We have two things for you. The first things is that you will be Sylvester's voice tonight and we want you to get him booed as much as possible. The second is that we want you to come up with a ring name for tonight. Do you have any ideas?" BB thinks for a second before whispering the first name that came into his head to Coach Bloom.

"Hmm. Not bad." Coach Bloom asks and BB nods. "That was just a test to see how creative you could be. We actually came up with an idea of a name for you. Thanks to Mr. Regal, he did some quick background research on you. In your previous company, you went by Leandro Blaze. On the last few shows you participated in, you went with a combination of your real name and Leandro Blaze and went by BB Blaze. We also found out what BB stood for and came up with this name for you." BB was handed a slip of paper and he read the name on the paper.

"It's very interesting. I certainly wouldn't have come up with that." BB replied politely.

"That's who you will be tonight. Remember, kid, work the crowd and you'll be alright. Follow Sylvester here and he'll show you where the locker room is for the Superstars. But first, stop by the seamstress and she has an outfit ready for you." Coach Bloom said before walking back and talking with another wrestler. Sylvester waves BB over and they head over to the seamstress. In the hallway, the two men were stopped by Becky.

"Hey, Syl, I'll take him to the seamstress. I have to head there myself. I'll walk him to the locker room when we're done. Cool with you?" Becky asks Sylvester. He nods and walks the other direction as BB and Becky continue down the hallway.

"Don't look so nervous. You'll be fine. Just be respectful and polite and you'll do great. Okay, here is the seamstress." Becky says looking at BB—and his shaking hands—and trying to calm him down. "Hi, Julie. This is Blaine. The new Frenchman."

"Pleasure to meet you." Julie says as she and BB shook hands. "I was told a new guy was coming in to be LeFort's new associate. Here's the outfit, go ahead and try it on and we'll see if we need to do any adjustments." BB was handed the costume and he examined it carefully. The shirt was white Under Armour with Lefort's French logo sewn in the middle on the chest. The pants came with a belt that had the same colors as the French flag. What BB thought was most interesting was the fact that he was also given a beret.

"Hmm…I guess I'm going to be full Frenchman today." BB thought as he slipped into the restroom and changed his clothes. After he came out, Julie and Becky were still talking as he stepped out of the restroom. Julie started walking around BB to see how the whole costume looked on him.

"It doesn't look bad at all considering the short notice in time I had. Let me see here…the pants look a little long so we need to hem them up about an inch. The belt looks a little long too, but that won't be too hard to adjust. It doesn't look too bad on you, kiddo." Julie said patting BB on the back. "If you could stand still for a couple minutes, I'll make the necessary adjustments."

"Are you ready, laddie?" Becky asks as BB takes a deep breath and nods. "Now don't run too far, I've got to get ready as well." Becky heads down to the women's locker room and BB finishes getting his outfit altered. As Julie was finishing up altering the pants, Becky returned in her plaid rocker wrestling gear and slapped him on the shoulder.

"You know, laddie, you're starting to look like a little Legionnaire in training. How do you feel?" Becky asks as her and BB walk down the hall to the makeup area. BB asks one of the crew members if he could borrow their brush, to which she smiles and happily obliges.

"Not gonna lie. I'm feeling very nervous right now, but I bet that I'll have fun as soon as I get out there." BB replies as he takes off the beret and pulls the tie from his hair and tries to comb his hair as best as he can to try to look better before tying his hair up again—this time putting the ponytail lower to give him more of a professional look. After finishing up, he hands the brush back to the stylist and she stops him and offers to hairspray his hair so it'll stay in place better, he smiles and takes a quick seat in her chair.

"Thank you very much, I really appreciate it." He said to the stylist before turning his attention back to Becky. "Thank you so much for letting me follow you around back here. It was great that I didn't have to be lonely." BB said with a small laugh.

"No worries, I know what it's like being the new kid on the block. Shouldn't you go find Sylvester and go over your stuff?" Becky asks as BB's eyes go wide.

"Oh shit! Yeah I do. Thanks for reminding me. Hopefully I'll get to see you after the show. See you later!" BB replies as he rushes off with his bags to go find the locker room. After a couple minutes of searching, he was finally able to find the locker room. As he enter, he made sure to introduce himself to everybody he didn't already know. That was one of the first things that Gail told him about the wrestling business.

"Always make sure you introduce yourself to the veterans of the locker room and people you do not know as a show of respect. I don't think things are as bad as when I first started, but remember that in order to earn respect, you have to show it as well." Gail said as her words rang through BB's head.

After introducing himself to the locker room, he was able to find Sylvester. He asked if he could set his stuff down in a spot next to him because he did NOT want another incident like the one with Tyler Breeze at the tryout. To his luck, Sylvester nodded and BB let out a small sigh of relief before sitting next to Sylvester.

"Alright…is there anything in particular that I should really know about the match before we get out there?" BB asks a little nervously as Sylvester smirks.

"Yep. My match is fifth on the card. Colin Cassidy is the opponent. I have a question for you. Do you have opposition for getting physical in the match tonight?" Sylvester asks as BB shakes his head no. "Great to hear. It'll make the match that much better. Alright, this is the plan I have in mind…" Sylvester said as he started explaining to BB the ideas he had for the match.

An hour and a half later, BB is watching the matches from behind the curtain with some of the other superstars. BB is in complete amazement watching Chad Gable in the ring.

"This guy is amazing. Then again he is a former Olympian so his technical style is astounding." BB thought as he was startled out of his thoughts by Becky Lynch.

"Like what you're watching out there?" Becky asks as he stretches.

"Without a doubt, Becky. I mean some of these guys are amazing to watch. You can learn so much from these guys." BB replied eagerly as he heard the bell ring and saw that Chad's arm was being raised after winning the match. As Chad was coming to the back after his match, he saw BB and gave him a smirk of acknowledgement before heading back to the locker room. Moments later, Sylvester came up to BB and Becky.

"We're up next. Are you ready?" Sylvester asks as BB takes a deep breath and nods. Becky smiles and pats BB on the back.

"You'll be great out there. I'll watch and give you support, lady. See ya later." Becky said walking away and getting ready for her match later on.

After a small intermission, Sylvester's music begins to play and Sylvester nudges him.

"We're on. Let's do this, Blaine." Sylvester says as he goes through the curtain and BB follows close behind. Almost immediately, the boos came from the crowd because the fans hated Sylvester LeFort. BB had to remember to do two things as he was walking to the ring: breathe and not pass out even though he was as nervous as can be and remember what he had to accomplish tonight.

BB walked past Sylvester onto the edge of the ring where he sat on the middle rope, opening the ropes for Sylvester. As he stepped through the ropes, Sylvester whispered something to BB.

"Don't smile, we're the heels in this match." Sylvester quickly whispered as BB quickly took the smile off his face. He didn't even realize he was smiling.

"I guess I was too excited and caught up in the moment. Don't smile. DO. NOT. SMILE!" BB thought as the bell rang and the ring announcer began the introductions.

"The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL. Introducing first. Being accompanied by Bryce St. John. From Nice, France. Weighing in at 200 pounds, Sylvester LeFort." The ring announcer said as the boos continued for both of them. After hearing the announcer say his new name, BB was trying his hardest not to smile again because this is what he has been dreaming about ever since he was eleven. BB quickly snapped out of his internal bliss when he walked over to the ring announcer and motioned for a microphone. He stood in the middle of the ring trying to speak, but he was getting shouted down by the audience. He remembered that Crimson told him to not wait for the crowd, but keep going regardless.

"Attention! Attention! If you guys would be quiet for a second. You might want to hear what I've gotta say." BB started saying as the crowd got even louder in boos. BB rolled his eyes in fake amusement before continuing with the promo.

"Vous êtes en présence de quelqu'un qui est lieues avant tout ces soi-disant 'superstars' ici en NXT." BB said in French before getting stopped once again by boos from the crowd. This time the crowd was chanting for Marcus Louis—Sylvester's former tag team partner.

BB and Sylvester started looking at each other with disgust before BB attempted to address the crowd again.

"SHUT UP! There will be no Marcus Louis tonight! He is locked up in some basement like the freak show that he is now! This man is the man you should be cheering for and chanting his name." BB said motioning over to Sylvester who raises his arms in the air. "You all should just get used to seeing this. This man—the legionnaire of NXT—will be your next NXT Champion. C'est juste une honte que personne ici, dans cette foule a l'intelligence assez élevé pour comprendre une superstar de haute qualité comme vous." BB remarks in French to Sylvester, who laughs along with BB.

Before BB could continue on with the promo, he gets cut off by Italian music playing through with the duo of Enzo Amore and Big Cass coming to the ring with deafening cheers throughout the building. After during their usual entrance spiel, Enzo turns his attention to BB and Sylvester.

"You know what I see in the ring, Big Cass? Not a cuppa haters, but a cuppa French fried taters." Enzo remarks which gets the crowd laughing before he continues. "What did they say your name was? Bryce St. John?" Enzo asks as BB nods in agreement. "Let me tell you one thing. There are only two saints in NXT and neither one of them are you." Enzo says as BB attempts to lunge out of the ring to attack Enzo as Sylvester holds him back. Enzo starts laughing at BB as he and Cass enter the ring.

"You know what Bryce? There's only ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE YOU TWO AND WE'RE GONNA SPELL IT OUT FOR YA!" Enzo yells as BB suddenly gets an idea.

"Becky said this is the high point of their promo! They want us booed and I know just how to do it." BB thought before going on with his plan.

"S-A-W-F-…." Enzo starts to spell his signature word before being cut off with a huge slap to the face by BB. BB accomplished his goal as they were booing the two Frenchmen out of the building as they laughed at Enzo after the slap. Enzo got mad and preceded to shove BB down to the mat. BB's eyes went wide as the crowd was hoping a fight would break out between the two. As the two lunged for each other, they were held back by Sylvester, Cass, and the referee. As BB was being drug back to a corner, he was fighting once again to keep a smile off his face.

"This is so much FUN! Glad I came down. Hopefully I didn't slap Enzo TOO hard." BB thought as Sylvester held the ropes for him to get out of the ring. Before he stepped off the apron, Sylvester pulled him up to quickly talk to him.

"Not bad, kid. Are you alright?" Sylvester whispered in BB's ear as BB nodded yes. Sylvester gave him a pat on the shoulder as BB jumped off the apron and the bell rang for the match to begin.

The first couple minutes of the match were the standard big guy throwing the littler guy around the ring. BB got his first chance to interfere when both he and Enzo hopped on the apron. The referee went to Enzo and BB stepped off the apron in enough time to grab the ankle of Big Cass and hold on while Sylvester started clobbering the big man from New York.

The second part of the match involved Sylvester taking full advantage of BB's distraction and working over Big Cass. After Cass was able to get out of a headlock by Sylvester, the big man started unloading on Sylvester. Cass whipped Sylvester into the ropes hoping to hit a big boot, but BB grabbed Sylvester when he hit ropes and pulled him to safety. Cass caught on and started to chase BB away. After BB got away, Cass tried to re-enter the ring, but the distraction gave Sylvester enough time to trip Cass up and Cass was thrown into the steel post. Sylvester went for the pin and he put his feet on the ropes. BB was cheering for the victory, but as the referee counted two, Enzo pushed the feet of Sylvester off the ropes and breaking the pin.

"I have been waiting for this all match! Here we go!" BB thought as he jumped on the apron and into the ring and Enzo did the same thing. BB and Enzo started a screaming match in the middle of the ring. BB went for another slap, but Enzo blocked this time and slapped BB in return. BB's eyes went wide as he preceded to just spear Enzo and then two start brawling in the middle of the ring.

BB felt a little weird doing anything physical in a match because he hasn't done anything to this level in quite a few years, but the crowd was going crazy hoping that Enzo Amore would just destroy the new guy Bryce St. John. After a few moments of fighting, BB was able to get the upper hand and roll Enzo outside the ring. As he stood up, he turned around to the sight of Big Cass glaring him down. BB smiled and slowly backed up and out of the ring. When he got on the apron, Enzo was back on his feet and preceded to grab the back of BB's shirt and pants and yank him off the apron. BB believed that Enzo might have misjudged his distance or strength because when BB was pulled off, he hit his back—and the back of his head—on the barricade, which got a few people to gasp. When BB hit the floor, he started to hold the back of his head in pain.

"SHIT! That hurts like a bitch. That's DEFITINELY going to leave a bruise tomorrow." BB thought as opened his eyes to see the end of the match where Big Cass hits an elbow drop on Sylvester to get the pin and the win. He could hear the crowd cheering as the ring announcer got on the microphone.

"Here is your winner…Big CASS!" The ring announcer said as Enzo and Cass were celebrating with the fans at ringside. BB slapped the floor in frustration because his head was in pain and also to keep the look of annoyance for Enzo and Cass even though he was happy they won. BB was trying to get up to go check on Sylvester, but when he got to his feet he suddenly got dizzy and stumbled to the ring apron. BB tried to hold on to the apron, but he got too dizzy and stumbled back down to the floor before laying down again. A few moments later, both Sylvester and a trainer were checking on him.

"Are you ok? What happened?" The trainer asked as BB slowly nodded his head.

"After I hit the back of my head on the barricade, I tried to get up after the match, but I got really dizzy and couldn't stand up. Almost like I was about to throw up. I'm sorry Sylvester. I didn't mean to screw this up for you." BB said sadly.

"Don't worry about it. You did fine. Accidents happen sometimes." Sylvester said patting the shoulder of BB.

"Ok, we're going to help you up and get you to the back to get you checked out. Ready?" The trainer asked as BB slowly sat up and tried to stand up. He took about three steps before starting to fall, but he was caught by Sylvester.

"That's ok. We got you." The trainer said as him and Sylvester helped BB to the back. BB tried to hide his face because he had to be carried to the back on his first time in WWE, but he heard something in the audience that prevented him from doing so. There were a couple of people in the crowd cheering at the sight of BB being alright. BB loves the fact that even though he played a French asshole to the crowd and they booed him like no other, they were happy to see that he wasn't severely injured.

As he was helped to the back, the trainer and Sylvester help him onto one of the trainer's table to see if any damage has been caused. Minutes later after the trainer ran some tests and checked him out, BB was laying on the table thinking about how in the hell he ended up like this as Becky came in—changed out of her ring gear—and sat next to him.

"That was a nasty spill you took out there, laddie. How are you feeling? Are you alright?" Becky asks as BB slowly nods.

"Besides the mild spell of dizziness that everybody saw me have earlier, I'm alright. The back of my head just stings like a bitch and I feel a little embarrassed." BB replied as Becky looked at him questioningly.

"What do you have to be embarrassed about?"

"Well…the fact that me as the manager had to be carried to the back by the trainers. And I really didn't even do much of anything."

"Blaine, that's ridiculous. Some people in our business to the simplest of things and they end up injured. The most important thing is that you are alright." Becky says as BB slowly nods and smiles.

"You're right. I guess I'm just being a little over dramatic about this. Thanks a lot, Becky. I feel much better now." BB replied as Becky pats him on the shoulder.

"What are friends for, laddie? So…how was it being out there for your first NXT show?" Becky asks as BB laughs.

"It was amazing! I really can't describe the feeling. I haven't heard a crowd this energetic in a long time." BB answers as the trainer comes back.

"Well, Blaine, even though you had the mild dizziness earlier, the tests showed that you do not have a concussion. You will probably have a nasty headache and some soreness at the worst, but I highly recommend you take it easy tonight as a precaution. I would probably not fly out tonight just to be safe as well." The trainer said as BB thanked him as he slowly sits up on the table.

"This sucks a little bit. I have to cancel my flight back tonight and I didn't book any hotel." BB says as Becky pats him on the back.

"This is great news for you, BB." Becky says as BB looks at her wondering what other great news there was. "First, you get a clean bill of health. Also, you actually DO have a place to stay tonight!"

"Where?"

"You can stay at my place tonight, BB." Becky replies. BB tries to speak up, but Becky shuts him down. "No excuses! I will NOT take no for an answer."

"…I guess my decision has been made for me. I really appreciate it, Becky. At least let me do something in return for you." BB replies.

"You don't have to do ANYTHING, laddie! This is what friends do. Help their friends without expecting anything in return. No more arguing, get cleaned up and let's finish watching the rest of the show." Becky says as she helps BB off the table and he walks back to the locker room.

After showering and changing, BB is trying to find Becky. As he looks around, he spots Enzo and Cass talking. BB wants to be nice, so he decides to talk to them really quick.

"I just wanted to say thanks so much for letting me be a part of your match. And…I'm sorry if I slapped ya a little too hard. I got a little caught up in the moment." BB says getting Enzo and Cass' attention.

"No sweat, kid. Been slapped much harder in my time, so this G knows how to take a hit. How are you feeling after that spill? Sorry 'bout that. I guess I pulled you a little too hard off the apron." Enzo asks as BB smiles and offers to shake Enzo's hand—which he accepts.

"Don't worry about it. I'm feeling much better. I have a small headache, but a couple of bumps and bruises come with the territory, right?" BB replies.

"Exactly. It was fun working with you, too. Hopefully we get to see you around more. See you later." Cass says as they go their separate ways. Moments later, BB finds Becky walking back towards the locker room after watching the end of the main event by the curtain.

"Hey! How was the main event?" BB asks Becky, who motions towards the reigning NXT Champion Adrian Neville as he walks towards the locker room.

"That man is so great to watch in the ring, and his Red Arrow finisher? It's a thing of beauty, laddie! Are you ready to go?" Becky asks as BB nods as he holds his bag in his hand. "Alright. Take your car back to the rental place and I will pick you up there. See you in a bit, BB!" BB smiled as he grabbed the keys from his bag and proceeded to head back to the car-rental place and wait for Becky.

Twenty minutes later, BB already returned his car and he was sitting in the lobby waiting for Becky when he decides to pull out his phone and get on Twitter. There were already people tweeting rumors that he was heading to WWE. BB rolled his eyes at his feed.

"Some people have nothing better to do than feed rumors! It's kind of amusing...and endearing!" BB thought as he retweeted a few things before he heard a horn honk and saw Becky waving him over.

"Sorry I was late. The bus took a little longer to get started than usual. Now let's head back to my place." Becky said driving out of the parking lot.

"Hey! Thank you very much for letting me stay at your place tonight, Becky. I mean you barely know me, but I really appreciate it." BB said after a moment of silence as Becky smiles and shakes her head.

"Think nothing of it. I've heard stuff about you whenever your sister came into the PC. You seem like a hardworking kid who really wants to be in this business badly. I respect that…and you're pretty cool." Becky replies continuing to drive.

BB smiled at that response. It was completely awesome that he was able to gain a wrestler's respect—especially someone who has been wrestling for a long time like Becky Lynch. Now—more than ever—he was determined to get into WWE by whatever method possible. He wanted to make sure that respect he earned from people like Gail and Becky was not lost or unwarranted.

Minutes later, the two arrived at Becky's place and were walking in the door when she dropped her bag by the door and escorted BB to the extra bedroom.

"You'll be staying in here tonight. Bathroom is down the hall and the kitchen is the other way. I only have two major rules. One, clean up after yourself. Two, do NOT my Guilt Free brownies or I will kill you! Other than that, my bedroom is across the hall and get me if you need me. Good night, BB." Becky said as she went to her room across the hall. BB sighed and decided to change for bed because his headache was being more annoying than ever. As BB tried to fall asleep, he realized that even with the little bump on the noggin, he was happy he came down to Florida.

The next morning, BB was sleeping pretty well when he was woken up by his cell phone ringing. BB checked the Caller ID and wondered why the hell his sister would be calling him at seven in the morning.

"Hello." BB answered trying to shake the grogginess out of his voice.

"Thank god you aren't in a hospital or anything. You scared mom half to death, you know. Why the hell didn't you call or text or anything. Are you ok, Blaine?" Kaitlyn asks.

"I'm alright. Just ended up with a knot on the back of my head and a headache. Other than that, I'm good. How did mom know that I got hurt?" BB replied questioning Kaitlyn.

"Yeah…that was my bad. I called her and asked if you talked to her. She asked why and I brought up that you were taken from ringside by the trainers with a possible injury. Well…you know mom. I said you were probably fine because your head was the hardest part of your body." Kaitlyn answered with a small chuckle.

"How did YOU hear about that?" BB asked again.

"Dirt sheets. Just kidding! Come on, Blaine. A friend of yours was able to get my number and she let me know that you had a spill. I'm happy that someone was worried about you like mom was…and me too."

"I'm sorry, Katie. I didn't mean to make you and mom worry. I was going to call you both today and tell you about that and that I had the time of my life! I promise, next time I will call you or mom as soon as possible." BB said feeling really bad that he didn't call anybody before he fell asleep last night.

"Don't think too much of it. You know how mom worries about both of us. Hey! I've gotta go. I'll talk to later. Love you!" Kaitlyn says.

"Love you too, Katie. Bye!" BB replies hanging up the phone and getting out of bed. He found the brush in his gym bag and brushed the knots out of his hair. He didn't have much to do today, so he left his hair down and went to find Becky. He walked into the kitchen to find Becky cooking something on the stove. A moment later, Becky spotted BB and gave him a small smirk.

"Morning sunshine! I see you just got out of bed." Becky said noticing that BB was still in the sweatpants and tank top he wore to bed last night. "I'm just teasing. You probably needed to get rid of that headache, anyway. Sit down, I made a couple of batches of protein pancakes. You probably need the energy." Becky said as BB nodded. Before he sat down, he did something his shyness and introverted tendencies never allowed him to do—he gave Becky a hug. She looked stunned and his face was beet red from blushing after he let go of the hug.

"Becky, I am so sorry for doing something like that! I mean we barely know each other, but I couldn't think of any better way to say thank you." BB said as he sat down next to Becky as she let out a small laugh.

"Laddie, they're just pancakes. You don't have to get too emotional over them. It isn't a big deal!" Becky replied as BB shook his head no.

"No. It was actually thank you for being a good friend and telling my sister that I was alright. I mean I am really grateful that you did that." BB replied with a small smile. Becky smiled and returned his hug with a hug of her own.

"Like I've said before, laddie, that is what friends do. We watch out for each other. Whether you like it or not, we are friends and you can't get rid of me that easy. Besides, I've seen your sister's spears. I didn't want either of us to be victim of her Spear-it. Get it? Spirit…spear-it? Where do I come up with these?" Becky says starting to laugh at her own pun as BB joins in shortly after.

Hours later, BB was walking into the WWE Performance Center after receiving a call from William Regal saying that Mr. Levesque wanted to talk to him. BB didn't know what to expect, so he decided to try to look as professional as possible wearing the nicest (and only) dress clothes he brought with him—black slacks and a red polo shirt as well as put the ponytail back in his hair. Becky came along for support…and for the fact that she forgot that she had him drop his car back at the rental shop and had to drop him off at the airport later today. After checking in with the secretary, he was escorted back to the conference room where he had his interview three months ago during his tryout. About five minutes later, Mr. Levesque and Mr. Regal came into the room. BB stood with respect and shook both men's hands as all three sat down.

"Good to see you, Blaine. How are you doing this afternoon?" Mr. Levesque asked.

"I'm doing very good, thank you very much." BB answered with a polite smile. "I wanted to say thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to participate in an NXT Live Event. It was an amazing experience.

"I'm glad you feel that way. William Regal and I wanted to give you a little feedback regarding last night's event to help you in your future career." Mr. Levesque said before Mr. Regal started with his critique.

"First off, the promo you gave was not bad. You got the crowd to boo you, but in my personal opinion, I wasn't fully convinced you could play a heel character." William said as BB nodded and tried to keep a neutral face.

"Damn…I guess I did worse than I thought I did. This sucks!" BB thought as William continued.

"I will say that you do play the role of a manager quite well, dear boy. You are able to change yourself enough to match the wrestler you manage, but still able to stay your own character. Also, the crowd was certainly into the interactions you had with Enzo Amore. It was probably some of the loudest crowd noises of the night. I will tell you that after the end of the match, you did alter my opinion slightly." William said as BB looked at him questioningly. "You did prove to me that you certainly have the potential to be a great all around character. You just need to fine tune your abilities. May I ask, dear boy, have you had any formal training in your career at all?" William Regal asked. BB shook his head no.

"I have not, sir. Everything I have learned up to this point was from learning on the fly and watching other wrestlers or I had about a month to practice and learn enough to be convincing." BB replied with clear honesty as William nodded his head and turned to Paul.

"That was his biggest weakness. He's inexperienced and has very little formal training in the ring outside of the basic beginner's bumps. That explains so much." William said as Paul nodded.

"If you could hold your own against people who have been here for a while like Enzo, I can only imagine what you could do with formal training under your belt." Paul said as William agreed. "My last question to you, Blaine, is would you be able to be in Florida before February?" Paul asks as BB was confused by the question.

"You mean to do another live event? I mean yeah because February is plenty enough time to organize travel arrangements and secure fun…."BB tried to answer before Paul cut him off laughing.

"That's not what I meant. I mean would you be able to move to Florida before February. Maybe this will help you understand what I meant." Paul said with a smirk as he pulled a fancy leather folder with the WWE logo on the front. BB was staring at the folder completely dumbfounded and eyes wide for what seemed like an eternity before he could find any words to say.

"You mean…you…want me?" BB asked barely getting the question to come out above a whisper.

"We do. We want you to be part of our developmental program. You are very green and rough around the edges, but if we help you fine-tune what you already know, than I can see you having a very accomplished career in WWE before all is said and done. Congratulations, Blaine." Paul said handing a pen to BB. BB nodded and read through the contract as a formality because he was just offered the contract of his dreams. He flipped over to the last page signing his name.

"What's today's date?" BB asked.

"December…the 16th." William answered as BB tried to keep his hand from shaking. He quickly filled in the date before exchanging farewells with Paul and William before exiting the room. He had to get out as fast as he could because if he didn't, he would have broken down and started crying in front of his new boss. Seconds later, BB found a secluded place in the PC where he took a moment and started crying. The day was bittersweet because December 16th used to bring back memories of a horrible past, but now it brings memories of a happier future. After a few minutes of silent sobbing, BB composed himself and called the first person he knew would want to know the news.

"Hey, Blaine, what's up?" Kaitlyn says answering the phone.

"Hey, Katie, are you busy?" Blaine said with a little scruff in his voice. Kaitlyn caught on pretty quickly.

"No. Me and Seth are just driving to the arena for the show. Are you ok? You sound like you've been crying." Kaitlyn replied very concerned.

"I have been. Do you know what today is?" BB asked.

"Yeah. December 16….OH! Blaine I forgot I'm sorry. How could I forget the day your dad got arrested and you put in the hospital…and the day your mother died?" Kaitlyn said sadly.

"Don't worry about it. It gets easier as time goes on, but today also means something else." BB said.

"What is it? Don't leave me in suspense." Kaitlyn asked anxiously.

"It's the day that you now have to work with your little brother. Katie, I got signed!" BB answer as he heard Kaitlyn start screaming. He also heard Seth mutter out 'Ouch, Kaitlyn! What the hell?' which got BB laughing.

"Oh my god, congratulations! I'm so happy for you. When do you have to be in Florida?" Kaitlyn asks.

"They want me down before February. When they called me, I was expecting the worst. Katie, thank you so much for being there for me. I really appreciate it."

"It's no problem. I'm glad things are working out for you. We just reached the arena. Text me after the show. Love you, Blaine. Bye."

"Love you too, Katie." BB said hanging up the phone and going to find Becky. After finding Becky talking to the front receptionist, they left the PC and headed to the airport so BB doesn't miss his flight.

"So how was the meeting with Mr. Levesque?" Becky asked while they were waiting on the freeway.

"It was very eventful to say the least. Thanks for being a chauffeur today, Becky." BB replied when they reached the airport and BB was grabbing his bags out of the trunk.

"Don't worry. Next time you're in Florida, you can drive me around town." Becky said laughing.

"I think I got one better…would have any problems with a roommate for a few months?" BB asks.

"Well, not really. Laddie, I don't see why you need to…." Becky tried to say before cutting herself off. "Really? Really?! Oh laddie, that's good news!"

"Thanks Becky! I've gotta get going. My flight is boarding. I'll text you when I get back to Houston. Bye!" BB said as him and Becky parted ways. As he got seated for his flight, he leaned his head back on the seat and just thought about how today was just amazing.

"Dreams do come true!"

Here is the end of the Chapter! Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. I apologize ahead of time for any inconsistencies or inaccuracies.

BB finally got his dream job, but the question is will he have what it takes to KEEP the job. He also made his NXT debut as Bryce St. John. He got a little rocked, but no pain, no gain, right? What do you guys think of the ring name? Let me know your feedback on anything in the chapter!

Also, I have an idea for the next chapter. I plan on including a Twitter/Facebook session where BB will answer 5 (maybe more) of his fans' questions. If anybody wants to take part and contribute a question that you would like BB to answer in the next chapter, feel free to PM me a question.

Thank you all again for reading!
