Awkward Moment

"Alright, that was good."

For the past twenty minutes Petey had me doing flips off of the turnbuckles. Petey slid out of the ring and stood a few feet away, I gave him a strange look from my position in the center of the ring.

"Suicide dive. If done right, you'll probably hurt me, and it'll hurt you. Quite…a bit…actually."

"Hopefully I don't do anything wrong," I muttered getting a grin from him.

It was two and we still hadn't had lunch and we'd been doing heavy practicing. He stood there eyeing me with thatusual cocky grin and I knew he didn't quite expect me to do it right away. I wiped my hand through my hair and shuffled my feet.

I whipped back around and raced towards the ropes. I dived and made the pass through the top two ropes. I crashed right into Petey knocking him to the ground. When I got my breath back I burst out laughing. I ignored the fact that I was on top of Petey who was looking at me like I was crazy. He started laughing with me until I thought I heard voices from inside the tunnel behind the ramp.

I froze and jumped off of Petey.

The voices came closer, I grabbed his hand and jerked him to his feet. We raced up the opposite ramp dragging Petey behind me.

"Are those the security guards?" I asked him while we ran down the hallway.

"Yeah, they check over the whole arena when there's a show that night."

"Good to know."

We got close to the change rooms and heard more voices coming from the opposite end of the hall. Two men in familiar black t-shirts began to come around the corner and without thinking I pushed open a door and Petey and I ducked into it. The room was practically bare except for a bunch of lockers. Behind them were showers with individual stalls. I pulled Petey into one along with me and flipped the deadbolt.

I leaned against the door and let out a deep breath that froze halfway out when the outside door opened. Petey thought fast and pulled me behind the curtain, away from the door with the bottom open. He quickly turned the shower on and pulled me right under the shower head with the spray of the water facing away. He adjusted it so that it sprayed over our heads and straight out.

The footsteps headed straight for the door.

"Hey, who's in there?" A hand knocked on the door and adeep male voice asked. OneI recognized.

"Uncle Rod?"

"Trinnie? Are you heading home soon?" He went on to ask if I was parked somewhere safe and about when I'd head home.

It seemed like forever before he left and I could breathe again. We both started laughing at our situation. Both of us were slightly damp and pressed against each other in the back of a public women's locker room.

We snuck back into the arena to grab our bags and then we raced back to the parking lot not even bothering to change.

"So I decided to come and live out here with my uncles. There's quite a few of them and they were all out here. I didn't really have anyone left back in Ontario so I headed here."

"So you're telling me that you're living with your security guard uncles who have pretty much raised you?" I nodded to him as he pulled a T-shirt over his head. "Your household must be pretty tight."

"A high security prison is more like it. Actually, they're pretty cool."

I drove him to his place and he told me when I'd have to come around tonight. Every Saturday night there was impact at the arena.

I opted to leave my hair down for the night and through on the button red T-shirt all of Team Canada wore. I also put on my tight red gym pants. Scott told me what I had to wear anyway. The top that I was given was pretty much just a white bikini top but with the loose shirt on top of it with the buttons done up it looked fine.

Scott said that he would come and pick me up tonight and he was right on time. The impact zone seemed so different with people rushing around and vehicles everywhere.

Scott wanted to head right to the back and hurried through the groups of people. I spotted Petey across the lot talking to Eric. It was easy to spot the two of them in their bright red. I stopped and walked over to them without drawing Scott's attention. He probably wouldn't notice that I was gone until he got to his office.

Petey smiled when he saw me and Eric blushed and said hi. In seconds we were joined by Bobby and we went to our locker room where Scott was seated and waiting for us. Petey left to go and get ready for his match but soon returned all ready for his tag team match. The whole pack of us assisted Petey out but Bobby and A1 soon left with the coach and Eric and me were left to cheer on Petey.

He was tagged upwith Alex Shelley, a young showboat who was really going places with his career. Petey was thrown over the ropes but managed to stand on the edge of the ring without falling. Sabin flipped over Petey and grabbed onto his waist trying to flip him onto the mat. He wasn't able to loosen Petey's hold on the rope though. They both got back into the ring and the fight continued but due to bad teamwork between Alex and Petey, Sabin rolled Petey into the pin and got the three count. Petey banged the mat with his hands in frustration and Eric and I slid into the ring to get him.
