We drove down the street and pulled into the airport. We all darted out and grabbed our luggage, we were in such a rush we didn't even put my disguise on. We ran through the airport not giving anybody a chance to stop us, we got to Fligh 30 and handed the woman our tickets. We all smiled at each other we knew we just made it by the skin of our teeth. We got on the plane and spotted Phil, I sat in the seat across from him, and Barbara sat next to me, Matt and Ashley sat behind me, Matt was letting Phil know of the events that occurred and that the prank was successful. I just laughed, I knew that I will get the last laugh. Some of the crew walked by and nodded at me others just looked at me like I was a martian.
"Yo over here." Phil waved to somebody in the front, I looked at the person walking down the aisle and I was in awe. Dave Batista walked down the aisle with his shades on and sat next to Phil. He looked at me and gave a slight smile. "Hey what's up runaway." He said holding his hand out, "Dave Batista." He introduced himself, I gave a slight smile of disbelief and shook his hand. "So some of the guys have told me you've gotten in the ring." I nodded with a blank look on my face. "Y-yeah once." I said clearing my voice. "He did great barbara said leaning over her seat. Batista laughed as a member of the crew came up to us. "Excuse me Mr. Young, Mr Mcmahon told me to give this to you." She handed me a piece of paper, I took the small folded paper and cleared my throat.
Tim when you land in Wisconsen I want to discuss creative ideas with you. I'll have someone send for you.
-Vince.
I gulped and just stared at the paper. Barbara glanced at the paper and looked behind her at Matt. "He has a meeting with the boss,when we land." She said with a hint of glee in her voice, Matt nodded his head approvingly. "Wow man, you look scared out of your mind." He said staring at me over the seat. I just nodded still looking at the paper. I cleared my voice and sighed, "A meeting with Vince Mcmahon?" I couldn't believe this, Dave slapped my arm lightly "Man don't worry Vince is a great guy. " I nodded again clearing my voice. "Yeah I know just a bit nervous that I'm going to wake up from this dream. " I said with a slight giggle, we all did our own thing for the remainder of the plane ride. Rather it was listening to music, reading or just talking we all had a relaxing trip to Wisconsin for the next event.
A few hours later the plane landed in Wisconsin. We all awaited the sign for the seatbelts to go off, once they did we all began to shuffle and sort through our things. I grabbed my bookbag and my bag in the overhead compartment. I stepped out of the way so Barbara could get her things. "Hey man, don't forget this." He said handing me my fake afro and beard. I nodded and put it on willingly. I knew they were right, if someone saw me with them it would ruin the work. We got off the plane and a woman in corporate looking clothes came up to us. Excuse me I need to see Tim Young, Mr McMahon would like to see him, I raised my hand slightly, "that'd be me." I said feeling the nervous feelings return. I followed the brunette into a small area of the airport and we walk through the door and I see sitting on the couch Mr Mcmahon himself. I was in a state of shock. I begin to walk closer and he stands up with a grin on his face. "Hey, Mr Young how ya doing buddy?" I smiled now feeling a bit at ease, "Very well sir thank you." I cleared my throat as he gestured for me to sit, I did and he sat across from me. "So I hear you have a few ideas for the WWE, is that correct? I nodded slowly. "Y-yes sir, just things I jotted down now and then. " He smiled taking a grape from the coffee table. "Well, we'll discuss that some other time, right now I want to discuss your current storyline." He took a notebook from the side table beside him. "I am thinking about keeping you as Matt Hardys obsessed fan and then you two will become friends and become a team. " I looked at him and smiled approvingly. "I am just starting to train but I really like that idea. " I said still trying to think through everything. He smiled and handed me a pen and pulled out a piece of paper. "This is your WWE contract, sign here and it's all set. A 3 year deal as a wrestler, and after I see how your ideas are maybe you'll be a writer. So what do ya say?" I took the pen and immediately signed it as fast as I could. He took it and looked it over. He nodded and put it away, "Now I hear you ran away from home, is that correct?" I looked at the ground. "Yes sir but I'm eighteen an adult, therefore he can't do anything about it." He looked at with a concerned look in his eyes. "Do you really want it to go that way?" he asked me surprised. I sighed, no, but there is nothing I can do. If I see him I will go back and return to my old life and I can't do that. I would rather never see him again then give this up." Vince took out his cell phone and handed it to me. "Call him Tim, I'm here if he gets out of line I'll take the phone and I can be just as vicious." I gulped and began to dial the phone, my hands trembling as I dialed.
"Hello" I heard from a burly voice on the other line. "D-Dad, I'm o-Ok." I took a deep breath. "Tim! You ungreatful scum, after everything I did for you, you abandon me like this! How dare you!" I suddenly felt my fear disappear. "Everything you did for me? You made me feel like crap for doing anything wrong. I couldn't even look at you without you throwing me against the wall. I hate you and I'm finally out of the house and I'm never coming back." I stopped and held my head in my hand as I heard the rain hit the windows hard. I took another deep breath. Vince looked at me concerned but with a slight smile. "Where are you?" he barked through the phone. "I'm with people who have known me for only a few days but they treat me better then you ever did dad. Goodbye and stay away from my friends they don't know where I am and if I find out you hurt them," He interrupted. "You'll what , you will do nothing because that's what-" Suddenly the phone was ripped out of my hand, Vince put the phone to his ear and had a angry look on his face. "This is Vince Mcmahon, I heard what you were telling him and let me inform you if you harm him or anybody else for that matter I will have my army of lawyers take you for everything you've got right down to your black hole you call a heart. Now Tim is a great kid and he's not going back there. Goodbye." With that he hung up the phone and put it in his pocket. I just looked at him in disbelief., he stood up and adjusted his jacket. You better put this on and we'll get you back to Matt and the gang, don't worry you'll be find there Tim." He led me out of the room and into the dark hallway I adjusted my disguise and we walked into the bright airport lobby. I saw the group and I adjusted my hair and walked to them. "How'd it go?" Phil asked patting me on the shoulder. I smiled "It went great I'm an officeal member of the WWE family." I smiled trying to maintain my happiness. Vince put his arm around my shoulder. "Yeah and we took care of some old business aswell. I nodded, "Dad's out of my life I told him how I felt and that I have a new family now." They looked shocked at my epiphany with my father. Matt then smiled and broke the silence. "Well man welcome to the family." Vince shook my hand one last time before going out into the rain. Ashley and Barbara hugged me. "I'm so happy" Ashley said. I looked at the gang and held in a tear that wanted to be released from my eye. "Me to."
