The curtains opened and revealed Mackie sitting on a stool comfortably. She was dressed in a pair of ultra low-rise jeans and a red fishnet shirt. Over the fishnet shirt she had a black tank top that had red letters on it spelling out the phrase "My dad can beat up your dad." She was wearing black tennis shoes. Her blonde hair had temporary red and black streaks and she had it down around her face.

John looked at her and smiled. She looked so beautiful, but he was upset because the way that the outfit was cut showed an inch above and below her belly button. He watched as she grabbed the mike and brought it to her face.

"Hi…I'm Mackie Winters, I'm a freshman…that's Shane Easton, a freshman, Chris Greyson, another freshman, and Lance O'Neil, he's a sophomore. And together, we are Phoenix. We're gonna sing a song that I wrote…now, let me warn you guys, I'm not that good, so please don't boo until the end of the song." She joked.

A fast-paced punk type melody came out of the amp connected to Shane's guitar, and then Chris's Bass came in, fitting perfectly with the melody. Mackie took a deep breath and started to sing.

I sit in my room and I look in the mirror

At the girl that I'm supposed to be

And then I see something that I've never saw before

The girl that's in the mirror isn't me

She's stronger than I think I am

She's smarter than that too.

She has people behind her that help her know just what to do

And when she looks inside her self

She smiles

Because

The drums started up, and the song sounded awesome, just like they'd rehersed forever.

(Chorus)

The girl in the mirror is different from the one that I saw yesterday

And the girl in the mirror is hopefully truly here to stay

But the thing about it that surprises me

Is when I look closer,

That girl in the mirror

Is me

She has a dad who loves her

She has a family too.

Her best friends are there to help and tell her what to do

She's happier than she's ever been, and I know

That she is stronger than I think I am

She's smarter than that too.

She has people behind her that help her know just what to do

And when she looks inside her self

She smiles

Because

(Chorus)

The girl in the mirror is different from the one that I saw yesterday

And the girl in the mirror is hopefully truly here to stay

But the thing about it that surprises me

Is when I look closer,

That girl in the mirror

Is me

I tried so hard to make everything right

I've been waiting for this moment all my life

I start to smile when I see

That I am stronger thanks to those who helped me along the way

I tried so hard to make everything right

I've been waiting of this moment all my life

I start to smile when I see

That the girl in the mirror

The girl in the mirror

To everyone's surprise, Mackie jumped off of the stool and kept singing.

Is me

(Chorus)

The girl in the mirror is different from the one that I saw yesterday

And the girl in the mirror is hopefully truly here to stay

But the thing about it that surprises me

Is when I look closer,

That girl in the mirror

Is me

John was floored. He nearly shed a tear, and he looked over at Randy and Paul who had the same looks on their faces. None of them knew. The song ended and everyone jumped up and clapped. Mackie took a bow and slowly walked off stage. When she got back there, Shane Chris and Lance were looking at her amazed.

"You can walk?" Chris said excitedly, pulling her into a hug.

"Kinda, I mean, I can stand and all, but walking's still kind of tough…I mean, yeah, I can do it, but it wipes me out…Lance, chair please?" she said, kind of out of breath. Lance ran and got her chair and she sat down, sighing.

"I can't believe it! You can do it!" Shane said, his smile never wavering. He bent down and put her arms around his neck.

"You're not mad I didn't tell you?" she said, standing up when he straightened out. She needed him to stay balanced.

"Mack, why would I be mad? Look at you. Look at us! I haven't done this in like, six weeks…I'm just thankful I can put my arms around you again." He said, putting his arms around her waist. Mackie smiled and then kissed him. When she pulled back, she took a step back and she felt her phone vibrating on her hip. She answered it happily.

"DAD! Did you see me? I did it, I told you I would, I promised I'd do it, and now I can! I did it!" she said.

"Of course I saw you…so did Paul and Randy."

"Where are you?'

"Turn around."

She turned around and sure enough, John was standing there smiling broadly in a pair of jean shorts and a black t-shirt. Mackie walked the ten or so steps to him and threw her arms around his neck. John gladly picked her up and spun her in a circle.

"I'm so proud of you Bella…you have no idea how proud I am of you. You did it. You set a goal and you achieved it. You proved those who doubted you wrong. I love you baby girl."

"I love you too daddy." Mackie whispered. John kissed her forehead and set her down.

"Now that the mushy stuff's out of the way, how'd you really like the performance?" Mack said, looking at her dad.

"You were awesome, but uh, Mack?"

"yeah?"

"What the hell are you wearing?"

"A shirt and Jeans?"

"The jeans are WAY too low…and that shirt's showing off your stomach!" he complained.

"Dad, they're low-rise jeans, and they show about four or five inches between my shirt and jeans," she whined.

"You're only 14." He said.

"Amy helped me pick it out!"

"Mack, could we cover until you're at least 16?"

"Alright, then I can show off my navel ring when I get it."

"Mack!" he sighed.

"What? You said I could get one when I turned 16." She smiled.

"Alright, but just, I don't know…you look older now…and who dyed your hair?"

"Shania…awesome, huh?"

"It's alright…"

"Alright? My favorite girl looks way better than…alright." A voice said.

"Uncle RANDY!" Mackie smiled. Randy pulled her in a hug and set her down.

"You can rock there little mama. Very nice, if I do say so myself." He smiled.

"Thanks…hey uncle Ran?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you think of my outfit?" she said, giving her dad a look.

"I think that if you keep dressing like that, and stay as beautiful as you are right now, John's gonna have to beat the knuckleheads off with a stick." He said.

"So, it's cool?"

"Longer shirt, but yeah." He said.

"HAH! I win." John smirked.

"Whatever…I look so awesome though…admit it!" she challenged, starting to feel faint.

"You look completely awesome little sis! They're just old guys…old fashioned." Paul laughed from next to her. She looked over and smiled. He hugged her and noticed that she was kind of weak. "Are you okay brown eyes?" he asked, looking at her.

"I'm alright Pauly…I'm just a little tired is all…" she said. John scooped her up and Mackie fell asleep almost instantly.

"Ran, could you grab her bag? And Paul, fold up her chair…I don't think that she's gonna be needing it anymore." He smiled.

They got into the car and rode back to John's house. John took Mack upstairs into her room, and Randy and Paul each went into a guest room. John changed Mackie into her Legend Killer t-shirt, and a pair of shorts and kissed her forehead.

"You know Mack, this time last year, I would have NEVER imagined myself in this predicament. I'd have never been sitting in this room looking at the most beautiful little girl I've ever laid eyes on. Come to think of it, I would have never thought I'd be such a big softie. But, now, all that matters to me is you, the crazy 14 year old girl that can't seem to stop amazing me." He said to the sleeping form that was his daughter. "Look at what you've done to me, Paul, Mark, Charlie, Randy, Rey, Rob, Charlie…we're all wrapped around your little finger and we're fine with it. Look at you, you're walking again, and you've surpassed the expectations of the doctors. I love you little girl…my little Bella." John paused for a second to look at the picture on the bed table. "You're so much like her. You have no clue…I'm…I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I swear I wish that I could have been there for you growing up. I wish…I'd do anything to take back everything that…that fucker did to you. I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you…I hope you know that I'm sorry, and I love you Mack." He said, wiping a rouge tear from his face. John put the blankets on her more so that he was sure she was warm, then he went in her room and got on the phone.

"Hello?"

"Yeah, Mark? It's John."

"Hey Cena, what can I do for you?"

"I'm delivering some good news…you're using your house as a personal hotel again, right?"

"Yeah…It's me and Sarah, then Jackie, Charlie, Rey, Eddie decided not to go home this weekend, he and the misses are fighting, Shawn's visiting with little Cameron, and Paul's here." He said.

"Well, I have some good news about Mack."

"Her performance went well tonight I take it?"

"Mark, 'well' is an understatement…she stood up." He smiled.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, she stood up! That's so great! Wait until I tell everyone here!" he smiled.

"Isn't it great? She's standing!" John said smiling.

"Where is the little girl? I want to congratulate her."

"She wore her self out singing her little heart out. She's sleeping."

"Already? It has to only be about….10:00 there!" he laughed.

"I just can't believe she did it man! She actually stood up and walked across the stage singing her song. She wrote the song she sang too…it was great, you should have been there. I think Randy taped it though."

"I definitely want to see that tape. No way I'm not going to."

"She's coming to Judgment Day…her friends Shane, Shania, Sammy, Chris, and Lance…they're coming with her. I told her she had to stay with one of the superstars at all times…could you…"

"Keep an eye on her during your match?"

"If you don't mind? She's only 14, I'm scared to let her go off alone again."

"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of her."

"Thanks Mark."

"No problem Cena…just take care of the little star of yours, she's going places."

"Don't worry about that, I'm on top of it."

"Bye"

"See ya, and thanks again."

John hung up the phone and called his parents and told them the news. Then he said a prayer of thanks and went to sleep.
