Graduation Bluez

-June 1, 2002-

Mr. Cena stood with John and Jakie. Mr. Hardy stood with his eldest son Matt.

"This is the best day of our lives." Said Jakie smiling.

Mr. Cena looked at his daughter. "Yes. AJ finally graduates and you can tell her the good news."

"Oh… about me and Johnny getting accepted into West Newbury College for wrestling?"

"Yes Jacqueline."

Mr. Hardy looked at his son. "Remember tell Jeff that he was accepted into Cameron North Carolina College for wrestling along with you."

"I know dad. Jeff won't be none to happy about leaving though. I mean he's happy here."

"Yes I know that Matthew, but this is the only way that the two of you can become what you want to be. I know that and this is the only way. Learning and training yourselves to be the best that you can be. That's the way that it should be."

Jakie looked at Matt. "Besides Matt. We can keep in touch. That's the only way. Maybe see each other during the summer."

Matt nodded his head. "That sounds good to me."

"Man I can't believe it."

"Neither can I." said John. "This is the best thing that could happen."

"Let's go and get our seats." Said Mr. Cena.

The four of them nodded their heads.

The five of them went into the auditorium.

-Choir Room-

Jeff looked at AJ who was dressed in a gold graduation gown. "Hey don't worry about it."

AJ looked at Jeff. A small smile came to her face. "You're lucky that they didn't choose you to sing tonight."

"You can get by this."

"I know Jeff. This is the best thing that I can do tonight."

"I know."

-Auditorium-

"Welcome the Class of 2002. I am proud to say that all of our students this year showed all of the staff with respect. Now I would like to call up valedictorian Almira Cena."

AJ stood where the principal stood. She cleared her throat. "Thank you Mr. McMahon. Thank you all for coming out here tonight to wish the class of 2002 good luck in our own futures ahead. This is what we learned. Talk doesn't come cheep. We knew that from the start of starting our senior year. We knew that we had to do what we were told to create a much better learning experience we could ever have. Now with most of that said. We the class of 2002 would like to thank our parents and teachers and the staff of this school for supporting us through our last year of high school. For some of us we became much more closer than we thought we ever could be and that is the truth. Even though that we are leaving high school maybe to find jobs. Such as professional wrestling in their near future…. Or becoming a rapper…. Or even a model…. Or even a cosmetologist. We want to make our futures as bright as we can. I may not see what is down the road for me as the valedictorian of this school of 2002. I just might be a bartender or something like that. Or just might be some punk on the street as they labeled me as before I became the top ranked student in the whole class of 2002. Each and everyone of us the seniors of 2002 we've worked so hard to get where we are today and shall continue to work hard as hard as we can I hope. Thank you all very much." She took her seat once again with her class.

"Thank you Miss Cena."

-Later-

Mr. McMahon stood once again in his place. "Welcome back up to the stage Miss Cena."

AJ took her place once again. She took a deep breath and looked out into the crowed. "This song is for the class of 2002. It is called….. Happy Endings."

The music slowly began.

"Time does tell
That even if they say so
She'd be the one that would know
That I did do what I've done
And I, I wouldn't call it cheating
I'd just say I was leading her on
Why walk while I run a-way

You- you ask me what went wrong
Me- i'll write you this last song
Please- just tell me one way we can win
One- more thing before I go
Two- the one who loves me so
Three- don't make me count to three again

Happy endings
Just what did you do, If you're a dream then come true
Stop pretending
That what you mean isn't what you say
Hopeful dreaming,
Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same
Loving, leaving
Round and round and round we go again

Walks a-lone, have often lead to thinking
My love for you is sinking to what seems an all time low
or high, the limits' never ending,
And don't you know I'm sending
There's no venture I won't go
For you

She walks away, she talks away
She walks away
She walks away, she talks away
Away, away..." She sang softly. She looked at the audience.

Mr. McMahon stood next to her. "You did a wonderful job Miss Cena."

AJ nodded her head and took her seat once again with her class.

"And now the time has come to wish the class of 2002 the best of luck. From Raw…. Chris Masters, Lita, Melina, Randy Orton, and Ken Kennedy….. From Smackdown….. Jeff Hardy, Almira Cena, Ashley Massarow, Kristal Marshal, and Joanna Armstrong… And from ECW CM Punk, Mike Knox, and Rob Van Dam. This is the class of 2002."

-Later-

AJ looked at Jeff. "Thank you Jeff."

"For what?"

"For being there for me for the last year and a half."

"I would do anything for you and you know that AJ."

"And I thank you for that."

"I'll see you tomorrow at the party."

"Yes… yes of course you will."

Jeff hugged her. "I'll see you then."

"Ok bye."

-Later at the Cena House-

Jakie looked at AJ. "Hey Aye."

"Yes Jay?"

"What do you think of me and John being accepted into West Newbury College for wrestling?"

"You were accepted? Wow this is so cool." She said hugging her sister.

"Oh and this came in the mail for you. Dad wanted to wait to give it to you until your graduation party, but I though of this as the better time to give it to you now." Said Jakie handing her the envelope.

AJ took it from Jakie and looked at it. "It's from North Carolina."

"Yes the college of Charlotte."

"Oh my god." She opened it quickly and gasped. "I was accepted."

"You were?"

"Yes…. I was accepted and I am happy about it too."

"And you are going to tell Jeff tomorrow?"

"Yes I am going to tell Jeff tomorrow."

-The Hardy House-

"Jeff…. I wanted to tell you something." Said Matt looking at his little brother.

"Yeah Matthew?"

"You were accepted into Cameron North Carolina College for wrestling."

"What?"

"It's true. I was accepted as well. Let's go. We got a lot of things to pack."

"Pack?"

"We leave in a few days."

"A few days? I got to tell AJ this? This is crazy. She's my best friend."

"Do you really think I want to tell Joanna this as well. She might be heading to New York City College for wrestling or something on the order of that."

"I…. I don't know what to do Matt. I don't want to leave AJ."

"Too bad we got to leave in two days."

Can Jeff really tell AJ about him going to college in Cameron when she will not be that far away from him in Charlotte North Carolina? Can the graduation party still be a good thing or a bad thing for these teenagers? What will happen at this graduation party? The next chapter tells all.
