So, after the start of the 'Meeting Tyson' arc, just what lies ahead next? Read on to find out, my loves, because I think you all might like this chapter. =3

"OK, and you can stop running the ropes in 3, ...2, …1, aaaaand STOP! OK, great hustle out of everyone today. You can all go shower up and head home for the day," the brunette man that was coaching the group of teenagers in the wrestling ring said.

Clapping with a smile as she watched the teenagers head to the back, conversations being heard among the group, a blonde-haired woman said "I gotta say, Tyson, it's incredible how much you and Antonio being out here has really helped me out with the group."

"It's no problem, Beth. Anything we can do to lend helping hands to wrestling schools that need it, we'll do our best to help out," the brunette man, Tyson Kidd, said with a smile. And he had to say, this was definitely one of the more excited groups of teenagers he helped with coaching, what with a a good number already visualizing themselves in a wrestling ring in the future.

"And we definitely needed your help here, too. I swear, for as much as I love training the teens that come to my school, so many of them are just too ready to do what they see on TV. I appreciate their determination, but I just wish they'd slow things down and learn the basics first before moving on to bigger moves," Beth said with a shake of her head.

"At least with me and Antonio here helping you out, your students know that basics come before the bigger moves. I just hope that after we're gone, they'll remember what we've taken the time to teach them and apply that to their own in-ring styles," Tyson said.

"I'm sure they will. Everyone seemed to really like what you and Antonio taught them, so I'm sure they'll make sure to keep what you've taught them close to them," Beth smiled. "And, I really would like to say thank you so much. You coming here has been a huge help to me."

"It's no problem, Beth," Tyson smiled. "Now, just remember. If you need my help with anything in the future, just send me an email or give me a call, and I'll come back and help you out."

"I'll keep that in mind," Beth smiled. "And, again, thank you so much for your help here. Make sure you tell Antonio the same thing when you see him."

"I definitely will. Don't have to worry about anything there," Tyson said with a light laugh. Giving the blonde woman a hug, Tyson made for the double doors that lead out of the main training area of the Phoenix Academy for Rising Wrestlers. Stepping out into the warmth and breeze of the spring day, Tyson walked along the sidewalk back to the hotel room he was sharing with his good friend and fellow wrestling coach Antonio Cesaro, the brunette man reflected on the fact that today was his last day here before the duo head back to their hometown of Emerald Pines. It had been a fair number of years since he last really saw the place that had so many memories for him, and he was feeling quite ready to get back home and take a much-needed break. Reaching the hotel where he was staying, Tyson headed inside and, after waiting for and riding the elevator up to his floor, went to his room where he found Antonio lying on his bed with an ice pack on his shoulder. "Still icing that shoulder?"

"Yeah. I appreciate Ryan's enthusiasm yesterday during Irish Whip practice, but it felt like the kid almost yanked my arm out of its socket," Antonio, a tall bald man dressed in a white muscle shirt and black gym shorts, said as he readjusted the ice pack he had on his shoulder.

"At least we know that'll be one of his better moves to use in a match," Tyson said with a bit of a laugh as he walked over to his bed and, taking a seat on the comfortable mattress, got his laptop from beneath it and turned it on so that he could check his emails.

"That is true. Can't deny that," Antonio agreed. "I'll just be glad when we get back home to Emerald Pines. I love this job, don't get me wrong, but I just can't wait to see Aksana and Claudio after so long."

"Yeah, that…that's cool, man," Tyson said, his mind not quite in the conversation at that point. While he knew that Antonio missed his wife and son quite a bit, Tyson couldn't help but feel a bit jealous of the fact that Antonio had a family he could go back home to. Ever since what happened thirteen years ago, the brunette had been feeling somewhat hesitant to return to Emerald Pines because of the fact that …well, he just didn't feel quite ready to face his past there. But, he knew it was going to have to happen if he ever wanted have something in the way of closure over what happened. Tyson had been so wrapped up in his own inner thoughts that, when he finally snapped of his inner thought bubble, he was both surprised and a bit confused to see an email from a stephmcmahon with the subject of "Regarding Your Niece". 'My niece? I don't have any nieces. Maybe I should open this and see what it's about.' Opening the email, Tyson read over the message in its entirety a few times, his heartbeat starting to pick up a bit. He honestly couldn't believe what he was reading right now. His daughter Bayley was in school now, and she, along with her uncles-he guessed that the woman that sent him this email must mean Roman, Seth, and Dean-were trying to find him because Bayley was curious about meeting him.

Looking away from the movie he was watching, Antonio looked over to see the surprised look on Tyson's face. "Tyson? Everything okay over there, mate?"

Hearing Antonio call him, Tyson snapped out of his daze and looked over to his friend. "Sorry, man, I wasn't paying attention. You ask me something?"

"Yeah. I was wondering if everything's okay with you over there. I look away from John Wick for a couple of seconds to see you spaced out looking at your laptop. Everything cool?" Antonio asked, feeling a bit worried about his friend.

"Oh! Yeah, yeah, everything's cool. I was just thinking about how I can't wait to get back home to Emerald Pines," Tyson said. And, in that moment, he wasn't lying. The last time he had even seen his daughter was when she was a baby, almost a year old, so the fact that the principal of his daughter's school was emailing him and telling him that she'd like to meet him felt like something in the way of a sign that he had to head home and try to do what he can to introduce himself to Bayley and do what he can now to become a part of his daughter's life.

A Few Days Later

Bayley had been pacing around the living room area in circles ever since she had really gotten ready for the day. Earlier in the week, she had gotten called to Ms. McMahon's office and, after having a talk with her principal, was told that she was successful in finding Tyson and that he would be coming back to Emerald Pines in a few days. With the big day finally here-a Friday, as a matter of fact-Bayley was just feeling nervous, even more nervous than she did when she first started going to school. She just couldn't believe that the day was finally here that she'd get to meet her dad. 'I just hope he'll like me when he meets me,' Bayley thought, her hands bunching and unbunching in the skirt of the light pink and plaid dress she had gotten from her Aunt Naomi for Christmas.

As they watched Bayley pace around, Roman, Seth, Dean, and Sasha weren't quite sure of how to help the ponytailed brunette calm down. After all, with this being a pretty big day for her, they could understand why she was feeling nervous…they just wanted Bayley to calm down a bit before Tyson got here. Seth was almost set to get up and walk over to Bayley when knocking at the door got the attention of all five Gems.

Rising from his seat, Dean walked past Bayley to the door, where, after a look through the peephole, he opened the door to who was on the other side. "Well, it took you long enough to get here."

So, yeah, I decided to go with going ahead with bringing Tyson into the fold of the story. In a way, I actually felt that going with introducing Tyson right off the bat was the best way to bring him into the fold of the story. Plus, this way, we get to see just what Tyson's work as a wrestling school instructor was really like (I probably didn't do the best job here, but I feel like I did an okay enough job), the school he's helping at being a wrestling school run by a woman named Beth (Beth Phoenix, to be exact...had to include the Glamazon here). *clears my throat a bit* Moving on! Looks like Tyson got quite the surprising email relating back to his daughter Bayley, one that's got him quite ready to head back home so that he can make the acquaintance of his teenaged daughter. Jumping over to Bayley and the Gems, our ponytailed cinnamon roll's quite the nervous one as she's trying to prepare herself for meeting her dad. A little bit of waiting later, there's a knock at the door that Dean answers to a visitor on the other side. Just who is this mystery visitor (that should be fairly obvious...X3)? Their identity shall be revealed...next chapter! So, until then, don't forget to R&R please. =)
