It was April 1, 2006. I was standing in my hotel room looking at my dress for the night. The Chicago air blew in through the windows. My make up artist Janice was putting the finishing touches on my face. Mike, my hair stylist, finished curling my hair. I kept checking the clock, waiting for Sam to get here. I looked back at my dress again. It was along black strapless dress with white polka dots. A red band ran around the whole dress under the bust. Mike had curled my hair and put it in a half pony tail. Janice put on red lipstick and a light eye shadow. She finished putting the foundation on my cheeks. Mike and Janice stepped back and looked at me.

"Oh Mike, how wonderful did we make her look?"

"Wonderful enough for Dad's approval, but sexy enough to have the boys come chasing after you!"

"Thanks guys. Now where's my jewelry?"

Janice ran into a spare room and came out with a box. She opened it and started to put on the jewelry. She put on red diamond droop earrings to accent the red band. A diamond pendant went around my neck. Then last but not least, a cute little Prada black clutch to match. I slipped on my breeze black angel spike high heel shoes. The dress was really long and I needed heels so I wouldn't step on it. Someone knocked on the door. Mike ran to open it. There stood Sam in a black Armani suit with a red shirt under his coat with a black tie. I laughed at him. We basically almost matched!

"Now where are the polka dots?"

"On my boxers! Wanna see?"

Sam started to pull his pants down. I laughed and ran over to him (more like a fast walk). He laughed and pulled his pants back up. He put his arms around my waist.

"You look beautiful."

"Really? It's just something I found."

"Haha very funny. It was hell shopping with you, Ashley, Britt and Lacy in Arizona looking for you dress! Remind me never to go shopping with you again."

"Will do stud."

Sam gave me a peck on the lips. Mike and Janice awwed. I looked back at them.

"When will the limo get here?"

"The driver said he'll call when he gets here."

"Can I eat yet?"

"Here. Have a special K bar."

I grabbed the bar from Janice's hand. The trainer Ike told me not to eat too much if I planned on fitting into my dress. Someone was knocking on the door again. This time I opened the door. There stood my doctor.

"Dr. Linden! How nice to see you!"

"Just thought I would catch you before you leave."

"Why are you here?"

"Doctor's conference. Can I just do a little check up on your neck before you leave?"

"Of course. Come on in."

I led Dr. Linden into the main room. Mike went and got him some white wine from the bar. We sat down on the gold couch. I sat up straight as he felt around my neck.

"Have you been training?"

"Yes."

"When was the last time you wore your brace?"

"Before spring break. Why is something wrong?"

"I didn't expect this…but it's fully healed."

"What do you mean?"

"I didn't think it would fully heal by now. Maybe about 80-85. But nope it's fully healed."

"So no problems?"

"None at all."

Janice's cell rang. It was driver saying that he was waiting outside.

"Thank you Dr. Linden but I must be going. Thank you again. Sam we're leaving!"

Sam ran out of the kitchen with chocolate on his face. I laughed and wiped it off for him. We said goodbye to everyone and got into the elevator. Seconds later, we were in the lobby. I saw the limo, and people surrounding it. I hid behind Sam as we made our way outside. The driver got out and opened the door for. People realized I was going into the limo right when I got in. The driver quickly shut the door and sped away. People were actually chasing the car. Sam and I took pictures on our phones. We soon broke down in laughter.

"How hilarious is that?"

"Very!"

We sat there in silence for a while. I took a sip from my Evian water bottle.

"So…you nervous?"

"Yeah. I'm seeing people I haven't seen since October, plus my Dad gets to find out I've been dating you for at least 3 months! So yeah I'm nervous."

"Don't worry. It will be fine."

I started to lie down in Sam's lap. Then Mike's voice ran through my head. 'Don't you dare ruin your hair!' I sat back up and just leaned against him. Sam put his arm around me. We sat in the limo the rest of the way in silence.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The driver drove around to the back of the venue for the Hall of Fame ceremony. I saw Randy and his fiancée standing outside the back. Randy was taking a smoke while Samantha was drinking from her water bottle. Both stared at the limo coming in. I walked out first, followed by Sam. A smile grew across Randy's face as he ran to greet me. He came up to me and hugged he…tight.

"Sarah! God it's so good to see you! Let me have a look!"

He held me back to take a look. Sam stood close to my side. I sent him a look saying he seriously had nothing to worry about. Randy smiled again.

"God you've grown! And your neck is fine?"

"Yes Randy everything is fine. In fact…"

I leaned in to a whisper.

"You can't tell anyone else, but Vince already knows. I'm coming back tomorrow at Wrestlemania."

"No way!"

Randy yelled right in my ear. Samantha ran over to see what was going on.

"What?"

"Sarah is coming back during WM!"

"Oh how great! Oh who's this young man?"

"Oh this is Sam. Sam, this is Randy and Samantha. Dad doesn't know we're going out."

"Damn your screwed."

Samantha slapped Randy on the arm. He rubbed his arm in pain. We walked into the venue waving goodbye to the couple. Some tech guy saw us come in.

"Oh good thing you're here! Your driver got the wrong time to come! You just missed the first half! Hey Link! Lead Sarah's guest to his seat! You, come with me. Your next!"

I waved goodbye to Sam as the tech guy hustled me to the stage. I saw Chris, Rey and Chavo all standing there. Rey saw me first.

"Sarah!"

Chris and Chavo turned around. They all smiled. I ran over to them and we had a big group hug. Finally we all pulled back. Chavo was the first to talk.

"How's the neck?"

"Doing good. It's not hurting anymore."

"Any date yet?" Rey spoke up.

"Yeah…but should I tell you?"

All the guys pleaded. I laughed and told them.

"Tomorrow."

"Wrestlemania?" Chris asked.

"Yeah!"

"Wow! That's awesome!"

Music started to play. Rey nudged me, saying that we were going on. An announcer guy announced our names.

"Now, here are the inductors for Eddie Guerrero. Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit, and surprise inductor, Sarah Cena."

I heard some people gasp. Otherwise it was really loud. We all walked out in a line, me coming out last. Everyone got on their feet and started to clap wildly. I scanned the audience briefly. Sam was sitting in between Torrie and Trish and looked like he was in heaven. Shawn was whistling loud and he winked at me. I saw my Dad right next to Ric. His mouth was wide open, jaw dropped. I couldn't help but laugh. I waved to the crowd. Once we were all around the podium, everyone started sitting down and settling down. Chris was set to speak first.

"The man we are inducting tonight leaves a stamp on our hearts. He meant to a lot to everyone here, and I'm sure we all have memories about this man. He was mean and devious on TV, but off screen he was nice, down-to-earth and had the best personality anyone could have."

I was starting to wipe tears away. Chavo spoke next.

"Eddie Guerrero was born into a wrestling family. His father wrestled along with his grandfather. He was definitely a third generation star. His brothers also all wrestled. I will always remember playing in his back yard on his dad's mat pretending we were pros. Didn't take us long to become some."

I looked at Sam through my tears. He was talking to Trish. They both looked and waved at me. I wiped my tears away again and did a little wave. Rey spoke next.

"Eddie started in Japan, eventually going to WCW. His next journey would lead him to ECW briefly, where we met. Eventually Eddie made it into the WWE, Through out all of his career, he faced many hard ships. Drinking and drugs took over his life and tore his marriage apart. Eventually, after many near death experiences, he cleaned up and became the legend he is today."

I looked over at everyone. Chris, Chavo and Rey were crying. Now it was my turn to speak. I did my best to speak through my tears.

"Sadly, Eddie left us on November 13, 2005, a day no one will forget. Eddie never hated anyone, and had some type of relationship with everyone. I remember Eddie greeting me first before anyone else my first day here. Tonight we honor him as the legend he is, was, and always will be. Tonight we honor the spirit that will always live through his 3 daughters, and his wife. His wife Vickie is here on his behalf to accept this induction. We officially induct Eddie Guerrero into the WWE Hall of Fame."

Vickie came out on stage to an ecstatic crowd. Everyone was out of their seats and clapping. Vickie hugged me tight and whispered into my ear.

"Thank you so much."

She backed away and smiled at me. She talked for a while, but I didn't really pay attention. Mike and Janice were backstage holding my puppy! I laughed a little and told them to let him go. He went straight for me. He was getting really big and I couldn't hold him anymore. He sat right next to me and looked up at me. I pet him on his head and looked back at the crowd. My Dad had left his seat. Shit. Where did he go? Vickie looked at me and laughed. She obviously said something about me. Rey leaned over to me.

"She said that your dog just basically stole the show."

I laughed and looked back at her. I talked back to her.

"I named him Eddie!"

Vickie looked at me with the sweetest smile. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"She says that she named him Eddie."

'Aww's' and 'How sweet!' echoed through the venue. Vickie looked back at.

"So it's only right if Eddie stays up here."

I laughed and Eddie barked. The rest of her speech I just thought about Eddie. He would have loved to be here. I went back to my dream. He told me to let go and forget about him. Somehow, I did manage to. I looked out to Sam's seat. He was gone too! Great this was good news! I blinked and looked back at his seat. Someone was sitting there. I looked a little closer. It looked just like…Eddie. He was sitting in Sam's seat. But how was I seeing this? He winked and blew me a kiss. I started to cry. I blew him a kiss back. He smiled and started to fade away. As he did I saw tears on his face. Then he was gone. Everyone was clapping. Vickie's speech was over. I left the stage with Eddie following me. Then, I saw it. My Dad was talking to Sam. Shit, he knows. I let out a deep breath and walked over. Sam saw me coming and breathed a breath of silence. My Dad gave me a big hug as I approached him.

"It's so good to see you sweetheart! God I've missed you and Eddie! Why didn't you tell me?"

"Surprise?"

"Yes I figured. So Do you know who this kid is Sarah?"

I gulped. He didn't know. Oops. Sam gave me a look that said 'tell him now!' I sighed.

"Dad, this is my…boyfriend Sam. Sam, this is my Dad."

My Dad looked at me in confusion. Then it turned to anger. It didn't look like anger. I just knew him all to well. He turned to Sam and smiled.

"Boyfriend huh? For how long?"

"3 months…Mr.Cena…sir."

Oh my god you should have seen Sam! He looked so scared! My Dad looked back at me with intense eyes. Eddie was trying to jump on me. Sam coughed.

"I'll bring your dog back Sarah. Nice to meet you John…I mean Mr. Cena…I mean sir!"

He told Eddie to come and ran off with him. My Dad stared me down for a good amount of time. Then he sighed and looked up.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I knew you would react like this!"

"3 months Sarah! That's pretty long time! You should have told me."

"Dad you nearly killed the kid that looked at me when we were shopping during Christmas! Do you think I wanted to keep this from you? It was killing me!"

"Then you should have told me!"

"But you know now! So let's drop it!"

"No I won't drop it!"

My Dad was staring me down again. People were looking at us. I played with my necklace since I was nervous.

"First, you didn't tell me you were going on spring break…"

"I left a message in your phone!"

"…Then you don't tell me about your boyfriend…"

"You know now!"

"What else are you hiding from me? Your date to come back?"

"Yeah I am!"

Oops. Totally didn't mean that. My Dad looked at me.

"When?"

"You know what? I won't tell you. You'll find out."

"Sarah Rose Cena tell me now."

Damn he must have been mad. He never uses my full name. But I stayed strong.

"Drop it. I won't tell you. Since you'll just blow it out of proportion. Later."

I walked away from my Dad. I wanted to go back and make peace, but I was too mad. I saw my dog in the hands of Trish. When Eddie saw me he bolted for me. I held my hand and he stopped.

"Hey Trish did you see Sam?"

"He called for a taxi and left. He said he'll talk to you tomorrow. Why?"

"Nothing. I'll see you later."

"But Sar…"

I was out the door. The limo was waiting for me. He took me back to my hotel. The moment he started to drive, I started to cry. My Dad and I had never got into a fight before that. Now that we did, it felt horrible. Eddie crawled into my lap. I didn't care about my hair or dress anymore. This night had become a disaster. I only hoped tomorrow would be better before I dozed off to sleep.
