Chapter 1

Visiting old friends and making a new one

Charlotte, NC

Mikayla Michaels walked around at the Cricket Arena looking for her dad backstage. Here dad was Shawn Michaels also known as HBK The Heartbreak Kid. When she turned a corner she was met with Glenn Jacobs commonly known as Kane. Glenn looked at the younger girl and smiled.

"Hey Mikayla. What are you doing here?"

"Hey Uncle Glenn. I came to surprise my dad. How are things going?"

Even though he wasn't her real uncle, most of the guys that had been around for a long time she called them uncles.

"Great. How is that boyfriend of yours?"

"Glad to be racing again that's for sure."

Mikayla's boyfriend was NASCAR NEXTEL Cup driver Casey Mears. The two had been together for two years and were now living together.

"Well I just saw your dad two minutes ago. He's talking to Randy Orton."

Mikayla gave Glenn a hug and had to stand on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek.

"Thanks Glenn."

Glenn nodded and went on his way. Meanwhile Mikayla walked in the direction Glenn pointed and saw her dad talking to a very good-looking man that she presumed was Randy Orton. She slowly walked up to the two and noticed the younger guy staring at her. Randy couldn't believe his eyes. About three feet away was a woman walking towards him and Shawn. She had long wavy brown hair and was wearing a pair of silver framed glasses. She wore a pair of black pants and a white button up shirt with a pair of black boots. He couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. He quickly glanced at her hands to check for a ring. No ring on the left ring finger where an engagement ring would be or the right ring finger where a promise ring would be. As she got closer he noticed she looked a lot like Shawn. Mikayla walked up to the two and stood with her hands on her hips.

"Meet me in the parking area he says."

Randy watched as Shawn's whole face lit up and his small smile turned into a full-fledged grin.

"Mimi!"

Mikayla smiled at the use of her nickname given to her by him.

"Hey daddy."

Shawn hugged his oldest daughter and then pulled back to introduce his friend.

"Mimi this is Randy Orton. He's my tag team partner tonight. Randy this is my daughter Mikayla."

Mikayla shook Randy's outstretched hand and smiled.

"Pleased to meet you Randy."

"You too Mikayla."

"Hey Mimi, Randy and I were about to go get a bite to eat. Wanna come?"

"Sure dad."

The three headed to catering and found a table for them. Randy turned to Mikayla ready to ask questions.

"So Mikayla do you know any other wrestlers?"

"You want real names or wrestling names?"

"Just give me wrestling names. I don't wanna get to unfocused about tonight using my brain to figure out who they are."

Mikayla laughed at his joke and Randy couldn't help but feel her laughter sounded heavenly.

"Well I know quite a lot of them but I'll just give you a list of the ones I talk to."

Mikayla paused and then began her list.

"I know Kane, Lita, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, The Rock, Stone Cold, Undertaker, Big Show, Eddie Guerrero, Triple H, Batista, Ric Flair, Christy Hemme, Chris Jericho, Stacy Kiebler, and Candace."

"Wow."

"And then of course I know the McMahons, Eric Bischoff, and Theodore Long."

"Dang girl. Ever been to a RAW show before?"

"Uh yeah why?"

"Just wondering why I never saw you before."

"I usually don't hang out too much backstage when I come. If I am backstage I am usually in my dad's dressing room. Since I moved to North Carolina last year and started my job I haven't really come to a lot of shows. Mainly just the ones around here."

Randy nodded and smiled. Just then the three were interrupted by Mikayla's cell phone ringing to the tune of 'Get Low' by Lil John and The East Side Boys. Randy looked a little shocked.

"Excuse me."

Shawn smiled at his daughter.

"Better answer it. If that's who I think it is, you know how he hates getting your voicemail."

Mikayla smiled as she answered her phone.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah? Is that any way to answer your damn phone when I call?"

Mikayla laughed as her friend stressed the word I.

"What do you want John?"

"Well I am in North Carolina to see the RAW event and catch up with my friends. I was just wondering why you just walked right by me and didn't say hi."

Mikayla sat shocked. She didn't see him anywhere.

"Where are you? I didn't see you."

"Look behind you."

It was at that moment that Randy noticed his friend and fellow wrestler John Cena. Mikayla hung up her cell phone and ran into his awaiting arms.

"John!"

"Hey Kay."

"You two know each other?"

Mikayla and John turned to look at Randy who had walked up to them.

"Yeah. I met Mikayla when she came to visit some of the Smackdown guys why?"

"She just didn't mention you in her list of wrestlers she knew."

John turned to his young friend.

"She didn't huh?"

"Well shit so freaking sue me. I forgot a name. Do you not remember exactly how many wrestlers I know? It's hard to remember them all. It's not like you were the only one I forgot."

"Yeah but I am the most important."

"And the most cocky and full of shit one."

John looked at Mikayla and grinned.

"You might wanna start running. Come on Randy let's get her."

Mikayla took off out of catering and ran through backstage and into Eric Bischoff's office.

"Eric you gotta hide me."

"From who Mikayla?"

"Cena and Orton."

Eric smiled at the young girl and told her to hide under his desk while he sat back down on the couch looking over tonight's events. Soon a knock was heard at the door.

"Come in."

"Hey Bischoff…you seen Mikayla?"

Eric looked up at Randy and shook his head.

"Nope. Why?"

"Oh me and John are looking for her."

"Well sorry can't help ya there."

Meanwhile John pulled out his cell phone and called Mikayla's. He knew Eric was lying. Pretty soon 'Get Low' was being heard from under the desk. Mikayla bumped her head on the bottom of the desk when her phone rang.

"Shit. Damn you Cena."

John smiled as she crawled out.

"My head is killing me."

"What are you gonna do go tell daddy?"

"Nope. I am going to tell Uncle Glenn."

John and Randy looked at each other.

"Ok Kay you don't need to do that."

"That's what I thought."

Later that night as she again found herself in catering with John and Randy, Mikayla's cell phone rang again. This time it was Gretchen Wilson's 'When I Think About Cheating'. She smiled as she picked up the phone.

"Hey you."

"Hey baby. I miss you."

"I miss you too."

She looked at John who was still sitting at the table as Randy went to get more food. He had a questioning look on his face and she mouthed 'Casey' to him as he nodded.

"Junior wanted me to call you and tell you that he's having a party."

Junior was none other than NASCAR NEXTEL Cup racer Dale Earnhardt Jr.

"He couldn't call me?"

"Baby you know as well as I do when he has a party there's a shit load of people to call."

"Ok that's true."

"He also wanted to know if you could invite some of the wrestlers and divas."

"Why am I not surprised? I swear he so abuses our friendship sometimes."

"I know. So what are you doing?"

"Oh chillin out in catering with John and Randy. My dad is about to have his match so we're just grabbing a bite to eat before we go to my dad's dressing room."

Casey Mears sighed a little as he sat on his couch.

"Who's Randy?"

"Randy Orton. When I finally found my dad earlier, he introduced him to me. They are partners in a tag team match tonight."

"Oh that's right. That's that guy that you and Cammie always drool over."

"Whatever baby."

"Should I be jealous?"

"What do you think?"

"Nah. I know ya love me?"

"Damn straight. Tell Junior I'll go talk to some of the guys and divas. Tell him to give me about thirty minutes and I can tell him who is all coming."

"Ok. I'll see you at Junior's later. Are you staying with your dad at the hotel or at the house?"

"Probably the house. My dad is leaving after his match."

"Ok. I love you."

"Love you too Case."

Mikayla hung up her cell phone and smiled.

"So how is he?"

"Great."

"So I guess I was right when I told you that you'd be fine after moving in with him."

"Yeah."

"Victory is always a lovely thing."

"Don't get too used to me saying you're right Cena."

"What the hell ever Michaels."

"So anyways Junior's having a party tonight and wants me to invite some people. Wanna go?"

"Sure I would but I done already checked out of the hotel."

"Well then you can either bunk at Junior's or at my house. Casey and I have a guest room, a couch in the living room, and one in the fun room."

"Ok."

"Ok what?"

"Hey Randy…what are you doing tonight?"

"Going back to the hotel why?"

"Wanna come to a party at Junior's?"

"Who's Junior?"

John and Mikayla looked at each other in surprise.

"Junior would be one of my best friends Dale Earnhardt Jr."

Randy sighed in relief that she didn't say he was her boyfriend. He noticed John looking at him funny. Mikayla stood up and looked at the guys.

"Well hate to run but I gotta go talk to some people. See yall later."

John and Randy nodded and watched her leave. Soon John turned to look at Randy.

"You like her don't you?"

"I don't know what it is about her but yeah I do."

"Hate to burst your bubble dog but Kayla is taken."

Randy tried to hide the fallen look on his face but knew John saw it.

"Damn dog. She's just a girl."

"Yeah but a really good one."

John nodded and walked away from the table to go find Mikayla. As he walked off he saw Randy get out his cell phone and figured he was calling his best friend Raechel.
