Changes chapter 1
"John are you sure you can help me with this?" I asked my best friend John Cena as I talked to him on the phone.
"Of course I can help you, but do you really want to do this Andrea?" John asked.
"I'm getting married in three months. If I don't go see my father, there's no way he'll be able to walk me down the asile or give me away."
"But isn't your life better without him in it?"
"I don't know because I don't have anything to compare it to. I'm 22 years old and have never actually met the guy."
"Take it from me, I work with the guy, he's nice and all, but I don't think he's gonna be what you dreamt about for so long Andy, and I don't want to see you get hurt." John and I grew up together. We had been next door neigbors our whole lives, until he got accepted into the WWE. I was happy for him but jealous at the same time because we had both trained to be wrestlers and he got the call up and I didn't. But it's a good thing that I didn't because just after that my boyfriend Aaron proposed to me.
"I need to at least meet him, for my own peace of mind."
"Well, Andy I have another surprize planned for you. Vince said he'll give you a try out match Tuesday before the show."
"REALLY?!?! Oh My Gosh. Thank you thank you thank you. Oh man I owe you sooo much John."
"Actually you owe Micheal and I. Mike helped me talk Mr. McMahon into checking you out."
"Is Micheal there right now?" I asked excitedly. Micheal,better known as his on screen personna Albert, John, and I had all trained together at Killer Kilowski's training school.
"Yeah, hang on I'll get him.... Mike, want to talk to Andy?"
"Of course give me that phone," I could hear Mike say in the background. "Hey kiddo, how are you?"
"Hey Mike, I'm great how are you?"
"I'm good. Are you getting excited for your wedding?" He asked me.
"Yes! I'm so excited but so nervous at the same time."
"Are we going to get to meet him before the wedding? You know John and I will have to make sure he's good enough for you."
"John already knows him. And yes hes coming with me tomorrow to be there to support me when I talk to..." Before I could finish my sentance there was a knock on my appartment door. "Hang on a second Mike, there's someone at the door." I opened the door and found myself face to face with my boyfriend Aaron. He hoovered over me at a tall 6' 3" compared to my 4'11". His brown eyes sparkeled as he looked down into my eyes and leaned in and kissed me.
"Hey baby who you talking to?" Aaron asked me as he entered my appartment and handed me a bouquet of flowers.
"Mike and John. Guess what, they got me a try out match Tuesday." I said as I put the flowers into water.
"Try out match? You mean you're going to attempt wrestling for real?" He asked sounding less than thrilled.
"Yeah. Isn't it great. Hold on honey just let me say bye to them. Mike, I've gotta get going. I'll see you guys tomorrow morning at the airport. Bye."
"Bye, " I said good-bye to John also, and then hung up.
"Yeah, so how was work today?"
"It was good. Now what is this about John getting you a try out match? I thought you gave up on that idea when you didn't get into the WWE with John and Micheal."
"Aaron, you know I haven't stopped training or dreaming about this. Aren't you gonna support me on this dream?"
"Hunny you know I would support you in anything you'd do, but I am afraid of the idea of you wrestling in the WWE."
"Aaron, I've been training for the last four years. I know exactly what I'm doing. And I'd be working with people who know what they are doing."
"I know, but those people still get hurt and I don't want to see you get hurt. I love you too much."
"Thank you, but this is the opportunity of a life time and I have to take it."
"Okay then, I promise I will support you behind this one hundred percent."
"Thank you. I really want you to, since I mean we are getting married in three months you should be willing to support my decisions."
"I do. And when you get accepted into the WWE, I'll be at every show that I can, and be there for you completely."
"Oh Aaron, I love you so much." We spent that night together at my appartment talking and watching movies.
The next morning Aaron drove over to my house and the two of us went to the airport to pick up John and Micheal. The Smackdown tapings were live from the Boston Fleet Center that night. Aaron and I stood in the airport waiting for their flight to land. As soon as I saw them I ran up and gave them both a great big hug. "Oh my god I've missed you guys so much. C'mon John you've already met Aaron, but Mike I want you to. C'mon c'mon." I draged them over and introduced them.
"Okay come on lets head to the arena," John said once we were in Aaron's 2003 Cadallic Escalade. Aaron began to drive toward the arena.
"So, tell me Andrea, are you nervous about meeting Mark for the first time?" Mike asked me.
"Nervous is an understatement. But at least I've got the love of my life, and my two best friends to support me through this."
"Exactly. And the first thing we have to do when we get to the arena is find Mr. McMahon so you can talk to him about your try out match," John pointed out.
"Yeah. I'm nervous about that too," I replied.
"Don't be. You'll do great. Trust me, you wrestle much better than at least half the females in the WWE. And besides I already threw a storyline for you Vince's way and he liked it," John said.
"What storyline was that?" Aaron asked.
"Well, I told Vince to help you get comfortable with the whole thing to pair you up with me for a while," John answered.
"Cool," I said.
"What do you mean by pair her up?" Aaron asked defensively.
"I mean have her work with me. That way I can protect her for a while. Wouldn't want anything happening to our little Andy would we." Aaron didn't reply but shot John the nastiest look in his rearview mirror.
Twenty minutes later we arrived at the arena."Okay muffin, ready to go?" John asked me as we got out of the car.
"Since when have I been muffin?" I asked him.
"Sorry, I just said it without thinking. If it bothers you I won't call you it."
"It doesn't bother me, but it might bother Kelly if she hears you."
"Kelly broke up with me two weeks ago. She said I don't spend enough time with her or talking to her and she cant be sure about what I'm doing while on the road and she doesn't want to live with that insecurity."
"Oh I'm so sorry." I hugged him to comfort him after the break up. Him and Kelly had been together for two years and he was ready to ask her to marry him. Aaron wasn't happy with my hugging John so he pulled me closer to himself and away from John after our hug.
"Mike, don't you think that four of us going into Mr. McMahon's office may be a little too much?" John asked once we were in the building.
"Yeah probably."
"Why don't you and Aaron head to the locker room so you can get to know Aaron better and I'll take Andy in to see Vince," John suggested.
"Okay. C'mon Aaron," Mike said.
"Wait, Andrea I want to stay with you," Aaron said.
"It's okay honey, I'll meet back up with you in a little bit," I said.
"But..." Aaron tried to protest.
"She'll be fine. I won't let any trouble come her way. You can go sit in the empty arena when she has her try out match against Torrie Wilson," John said leading me away. Aaron reluctantly followed Mike in the other direction. "You ready for this?" John asked me as we stood outside Vince's office.
"As ready as I'll ever be." John knocked and Vince yelled to come in. When we walked in Vince and Mark ('Taker) were sitting there. I almost lost the little confidence I had and ran away. But John, sensing my fear, grabbed my arm and pulled me inside.
"Vince, Mark, this is my friend Andrea. Andrea this is Vincent K. McMahon and Mark Calloway.
"Hello, it's nice to meet both of you," I said shaking their hands.
"Hello. It's nice to meet you too," Vince said.
"Yes it is nice to meet you," Mark said. He didn't give any indication that he knew and I didn't know how to tell him.
"So John tells me you want a try out match. It looks like you're inyour ring attire so come on lets head to the ring Torrie's already there," Vince said.
"Right now?" I questioned. I didn't expect him to say right away. I was hoping to see Aaron again before I wrestled.
"Of course right now girl. This is Vince McMahon he doesn't have all the time in the world to wait for you to be ready. So you go now, or not at all. Now are you ready?" Mark said nastily.
"Ye...Yeah I'm ready but John go get Aaron and Mike and meet me at ringside please," I replied.
"Done." John took off to find Aaron and Mike. Vince, Mark, and I headed to the ring.
It was only about 11:30 am so the arena was completely empty except for the ring crew. As we walked down the ramp I saw a tall blond stretching in the ring. "Hey Torrie, this is Andrea. Show us what she's got." Vince directed. I nervously got into the ring.
"Hi I'm Torrie," Torrie said shaking my hand when I got in the ring.
"Hi. Its nice to meet you."
"Relax. You seem so nervous. Don't worry I won't hurt you and if you know what you're doing you won't hurt yourself." Just then Jim Ross, John Cena, Mike, and Aaron came down to ring side.
"Okay C'mon get this match going already!" Mark yelled out. Torrie and I hooked up. She pulled a few easy moves on me. We mostly did bumps and rope shots. And then Torrie went to toss me into the rope and her hand slipped. I fell flat on my face. I was mortified. I just knew Vince was gonna say no to me after that.
"C'mon Andy you can do it," John whispered to me. Torrie went to help me up, and instead of taking her hand I did a jump up and went into a reverse ddt, a move John had taught me. I got the pin.
"Excellent job. Get changed up and meet me in my office. I'm going to go work up your contract," Vince said leaving.
"That could have been better. But it was okay for the first time," Mark said and left ring side.
"Excellent job Andrea. Hello I'm Jim Ross, welcome to the WWE family," JR said shaking my hand as I exited the ring. JR then followed Vince into the back.
"That was one of the best matches I've had in a while. I look forward to working with you again," Torrie said and then headed into the back.
"Oh man Andy you nailed that match," John said hugging me.
"Thanks to that move you taught me."
"Don't sell yourself short, you were doing great before using that move," Mike said hugging me.
"Thanks. Thanks so much guys for getting me this shot. I really gotta go change and I want to hurry because I don't want to keep Mr. McMahon waiting."
"Wait, Andrea, You did awesome in there," Aaron said.
"Thanks. Stay with John and Mike. I'll meet up with you in a few." I said failing to hug Aaron even though he was waiting with open arms. I ran to the women's locker room and quickly changed my clothes and then went to Mr. Mcmahon's office. When I walked in Vince was with his lawyer, his children Stephanie and Shane, and Jim Ross. Vince introduced me to his children and then presented me with my contract. I signed a one year contract.
"Now, I want you to debut tonight," Vince said.
"Tonight?!?" I questioned. It was all a dream come true for me. I needed to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming.
"Yeah. We're trying to get John over as a face and what better way then to put a hot girl on his arm. You're going to accompany him to ringside tonight as his girlfriend," Shane explained.
"That's an awesome idea," I responded.
"Great. Go find John and Shannon. They have a match tonight. You don't have to interfere, you just have to be on John's arm," Stephanie instructed.
"Okay. Thank you very much for this opportunity." I left the office very calmly. As soon as I walked out of the office I got so excited I couldn't contain myself. I ran to John's locker room and didn't even bother to knock. "John I get to accompany you tonight!" I yelled running into the room.
"Really Great!" He yelled pulling me into a hug.
"Congratulations sweetie. Do you want to go get some food and celebrate?" Aaron asked. I finally gave him his hug he had been waiting for.
"I'd love to, but John and I need to find Shannon and work out the match and then I need to find an outfit to wear. I promise we'll celebrate after the show. Sorry hunny," I kissed him and then John and I took off to find Shannon Moore leaving Aaron with Mike.
