I always hated the cold. I never adjusted to it. Living in Minnesota for 13 years of my life, you would think I would be used to it. Nope, I wasn't. So waiting outside my old home waiting for my new Dad to convince the divas to take me shopping. It's not that they didn't want to take me, they thought it was important to spend my first day with him. So finally Joy came over and smiled.

"So we're going to take you shopping! Is that ok with you?"

"More then ok!"

Trish laughed and led me to the car. Well, it was more like a limo. A pink limo. Never in my life would I ever think I would see a pink limo. My new Dad came over and helped me in.

"So, have fun. Here's my credit card."

"You serious?"

"You need clothes, girl stuff. I'm not good at that."

"OK. Well see you later…ummm…"

"You can call me dad now."

"Can I just start with Cena? I'm not used to this."

"Whatever makes you feel comfortable."

The door closed and away we went to the mall. John waved, and I waved back. I was still trying to take this all in. My dad is now the WWE Champion John Cena. I would be on the road with him till I was in college. The divas were going to be my new safety nets. Torrie tapped me on the shoulder.

"So! Tell us about yourself!"

"Ummm…ok. Well I was born in Minnesota. My dad owned this big stock that made some type of shoes. It was a big hit so I lived a pretty rich life. Well one day his stock made a huge fall and my dad lost all his money. They only had enough money to take care of themselves and 1 kid. I volunteered to go to an orphanage. So I ended up in Boston's Home or Orphaned Kids. And then you guys came and now I'm here."

The whole limo was silent. The only noise was the cars passing us by on the freeway. Finally Torrie spoke.

"Oh you poor thing! Having to leave everything you knew just to save your family! How brave!"

A chorus of 'how brave!' and 'poor girl' went throughout the limo. I stopped myself from rolling my eyes and telling them I didn't need their sympathy. So I just sat there and nodded. 10 minutes later, we arrived at the mall.

"Who's ready to shop!"

We all ran out of the limo and ran into the mall. We went to every store there! Gucci, Juicy Couture, Prada, Dior, Hollister, American Eagle, Sephora, Brighton, DEB, Betsy Johnson, you name it! We hit store after store and my Dad's credit card bill grew longer by the second. Finally the day ended with manicures and pedicures (new hair and waxing for me) and we finally headed to the arena for the show. It was a house show, but I could tell this would be big anyways. We got out of the car bursting out in laughter. My Dad and JBL were outside the door. My Dad walked toward us.

"So you didn't kill her did you?"

"Of course not! But we might have killed your wallet."

Michelle laughed and punched my Dad playfully on the arm. The driver helped us get our bags out of the trunk. I had at least 8 bags and a new suitcase and a carry on. My Dad stared at my bags in shock.

"Did you want this many clothes?"

"No. But the divas insisted. Here's your credit card by the way. Sorry I maxed out on it."

"Well, you needed new stuff. So, let's get you to the room so you can put your clothes in your suitcase."

We started walking till Michelle came running toward us.

"Sorry Sarah but I grabbed 3 of your bags!"

She dumped the bags in front of me and then ran off again. My Dad grabbed the 3 bags and led me to the room. Thankfully it was right by the exit, otherwise I swear my arms would have fallen off. I dropped the bags on the floor and laid on the couch.

"I can't believe they can shop for that long!"

"Their divas, what can I say?"

"Hey Cena?"

"Yeah?"

"Why did you adopt me?"

The room was silent for a while. Finally he sighed and pushed my legs off the couch so he could have some room to sit. He stared at my face for a while, then started to talk.

"I saw something in you Sarah. Something I don't normally see in kids your age. I can't really explain it, because even I don't know what it is! But something told me that I needed you as a daughter. So I went with my gut and made me your new legal guardian."

"So, let me get this straight. My new Dad is the WWE Champion, who makes raps about heels, wears throwback jerseys and is known as the Dr. of Thuganomics?"

John let out a laugh. "Yeah, this is what you're stuck with."

I kicked him on the side to get him off the couch. That only led to a tickle attack from him. Soon it was a tickle war. I never knew my Dad was so ticklish! Someone knocked on the door. I pushed my dad off (or at least tried. He finally got off) and answered the door. Eddie stood there with a little cupcake that said 'Welcome Sarah' in little letters.

"Ummm…hi?"

"You must be Sarah! Dang ese you got a beautiful daughter! Anyways, I thought I might welcome you to the Smackdown family!"

He put the cupcake in front of me. It was to pretty to eat. I took it gratefully.

"Thank's Eddie. I love it."

"Now for a tour!"

Eddie grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out to the hall.

"Hey Eddie she's gotta rest!"

"Not right now! I gotta show her the ropes!"

I looked back at my dad who was staring out the door confused. I tore the paper off the cupcake with my free hand and started to eat. Finally we slowed down.

"Over there is Mr. Long's office. He's the Gm of this brand. Right there is the diva locker room, and down the hall is the guys locker room. Over there is the masseuse…"

I stopped listening to him and looked at my surroundings. Rey and Kurt were playing some poker while getting their ring attire fitted; Paul was stretching for his match while Billy was punching a punching bag. Some tech guys rushed past us talking into their walkie-talkies. Finally he pushed through a curtain. I froze right where I was. 30 feet away from me was the WWE wrestling ring. I was standing above the big fist and right in the center of the aisle. Eddie walked past me and walked backwards down the ramp.

"And this is where we perform! Man when you see this place packed, you'll feel the energy all the way back to your room!"

I stared in aw as I moved down the ramp. Tech guys were getting the fireworks ready and making sure all mics worked and the lights came on at the right time. I finally approached the ring apron. I felt the cloth. None of this seemed real. Eddie did a back flip into the ring.

"What are you waiting for? Come on in?"

I walked up the steps and went in between the ropes. I was standing in the ring. Smack dab in the middle too. I turned in a circle to take it all in. Eddie almost missed my arm when he did a nose dive to the other corner of the ring.

"You almost hit me!"

"Sorry Sar. Why don't you try?"

"What? Oh, I can't."

"Come on! Didn't you do gymnastics or anything like that?"

Actually, I did. I won gold in all my tournaments. That was until my parent's couldn't pay for it anymore. I climbed the turn buckles until I was on the top one. I sighed and looked down. It didn't look so high from up here. I sighed again and jumped off. I did a back flip ending with a double twirl and I stuck it. Eddie looked at me in shock!

"Mamacita you're a natural!"

I smiled and giggled. Then people started to come into the arena. Mr. Long came out and yelled at us.

"What are you doing out here? The dark match is gonna start in 20 minutes so get your asses backstage!"

"Now Mr. Long that's no way to talk around John's new daughter!"

I laughed and jumped out of the ring. Eddie gave me a piggy back ride back to my room. He dropped me off at the door.

"Thank's Eddie. I had a great time."

"Any time girlie!"

He winked at me then walked to his own room. I opened the door to my room. My Dad was getting ready for the match.

"Are there people in the arena yet?"

"Yeah their just starting to come in."

I dumped my bags on the floor and opened my suitcase. How could I get used to this lifestyle? I looked at my dad who was getting his shoes on. With a Dad like him, it would be easy to adjust.
