Thanks to everyone who reviewed my first chapter. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Well, here's the next installment and you know the drill, I own nothing except the characters who are unfamiliar to you. I hope you'll like this chapter.

Twenty-one years later
"Amber! Wake up! We're gonna miss our flight!" her bestfriend and roommate, Alexi Cena said
as she dragged Amber's foot off the bed. Amber just grunted and went back to bed.
"Go away," she grumbled.
Their other bestfriend, Gabrielle Levesque poked her head inside Amber and Alexi's room.
"Still having problems waking her up?" Gabby said.
"As usual, Gabby. Please get Max. You know the drill," Alex said flatly as she watched Gabby
disappear from the doorway.
Amber, Gabby and Alex along with Matt and Amy Hardy's daughter Maxene shared a flat right
across New York University. The four of them were inseperable ever since they were in
diapers, because, aside from all their parents being wrestlers, they were all neighbors back home
in Stamford, Connecticut.
Gabby reappeared in the room with the redheaded Max. The three of them grabbed Amber by
the ankles and pulled hard, until Amber slid off her bed. "You guys!" She yelled.
"Good. You're awake." Gabby said with a smile. "Now get dressed or we're gonna miss our
flight". Amber smirked, a smirk that was so like her father's.
"So, who's gonna pick us up again?" Amber asked Alex as the four of them went out of the
check out area of the airport.
"I think it's my dad's turn," Alex told her friend.
"There's Uncle John," Max pointed out Alex's father, John Cena to them.
"Hey there ya'll. How'z ma chicks doin?" John teased. He still looked the same as he did
twenty-one years ago, with the exception of a few gray hairs growing in his temples.
The three laughed laughed, while Alex rolled her eyes, "Dad!"
"We're all fine, Uncle John," Gabby said. "One more semester and we're finally free!"
John shook his head in disbelief, "My,my. You girls grew up so fast! It was like yesterday when
I was chasing you brats all over the RAW or Smackdown backstage! God, do I feel old!" They
all laughed at John's remark as they made their way towards his van.
"Bye Uncle John. Thanks for the ride," Amber said as she got off at the Cena's house, which
was right next door to where she lived with her dad. "I'll see you later, ok Lex?"
"Sure girl," Alex said as she watched her friend walk away.
Amber sighed as she put her key in the doorknob and walked inside the empty house. "Dad!
I'm home!" she yelled, the way she always did when she was in high school. Although she knew
that her dad was not home, she always liked to pretend that he was there waiting for her, just
like a real family. After all, he was all that she had. After she dropped her bags in the living
room, she went upstairs to her bedroom and went straight to her desk drawer, where she pulled
out a picture of her mom, which happens to be a magazine cutout she stole from one of her
dad's old magazines she once saw in the attic.
"Hi mom. I'm home," she said as she kissed the picture. She never really knew her mom, or
even seen her picture aside from this magazine cutout. All she knew was that her name was
Trish Stratus, and that she used to wrestle with herdad, before her life tragically ended. How it
ended, she did not know, and she knew very wellnot to ask her dad or his friends any questions
because her dad throws a fit with the meremention of her mom's name. It also didn't help that
her dad threw away all the things thatreminded him of her mom, after she died. So who her mom
was, remained a mystery to her.
Amber suddenly dropped the picture when she heard noises coming from the room across the
hallway, which happened to be her dad's room. Wondering what it is, she rushed to the other
room.
"Dad?" Amber said as she opened the door. She suddenly froze from what she saw inside her
dad's room. Her dad was in bed under the sheets with a woman she did not recognize.
"Amber Madison!" Randy angrily said as he stood up, wearing only his boxers. "Don't you
know how to knock?"
Amber felt tears well up in her eyes and ran out of the house, going straight to the Cena's house.
"That's it," she angrily thought. "I don't care what dad says. I have to know the truth."

Well? What do you think? I know this chapter is kinda slow, but I think this part is really needed for me to be able to introduce the other characters and present the situation Amber is in. Please don't forget to review (I really appreciate your inputs) and I'll post the next chapter soon!
