August 23 1986

I was at one of the small gyms in Cameron, North Carolina. It was a small and cheap to get a membership. I was lifting weights and the other people in the gym were watching with wide eyes. I'm a sixteen year-old girl lifting weights, what's wrong with that?

"Welcome Mr. Flair! We are happy that you chose us to come to today!" I heard Joe welcoming someone in. He never does that to anyone; unless this guy was a celebrity? I heard someone approach me and stop just beside me. I didn't stop until I finished the set. I sat up, replacing the weights on the stand and turning to face the newcomer.

I recognized this man; Matt and Jeff always talk about him. This man was Ric Flair, one of the most popular wrestlers now. I thought he came from Charlotte, what's he doing here?

"Good afternoon Miss…" he began.

"Anna."

"Miss Anna. May I ask why you are here, lifting weights?" Manners, Annie, manners, I could hear Amelia's voice reminding me.

"To become stronger, so that I can become a wrestler. And so I can protect my sister." He smiled, his stance becoming a little straighter. I stood up and I only came to his chest. Man, I hate being short.

"You know they don't let many women wrestle, right?"

"I know that. I plan to change that." He grinned at me then clapped a hand on my shoulder. He did it hard, which made me stumble.

"Then you're gonna need some training, right?" I nodded, and he slipped and a arm around my shoulders. Is he trying to trick me?

"How about I train you, starting today?"

October 7 1986

The arena went wild as Ric Flair made his way to the ring, where Vince McMahon was already waiting. He grabbed a mic and stepped into the ring. Vince stood waiting in his expensive gray suit, his face a mix of curiosity and annoyance.

"Alright Ric. You told me that found someone worthwhile. So who is it?" Ric smiled broadly and took a step forward.

"Yes, this person will be a legend! I can tell you that already! And they're not a person you want to mess with, believe me." Ric stated.

"I had to teach 'em a few things but, I think they'll do well enough. Actually, they probably would have been fine without me." He was grinning broadly and it showed he was proud.

"Alright, I get it. Now who is it?" Vince asked, fully annoyed.

"I'm getting to it. Allow me to introduce the next legend, Miss Anna!" A woman appeared at the top of the ramp, her midnight black hair hiding her face. She blew the strands out of her face before beginning her walk to the ring. She wore black leather pants with Chinese sandals; her shirt was a plain black shirt with a simple leather vest over it. The crowd was giving her cat calls, which she seemed to ignore.

Vince was staring at her and then turned a glare to Ric. Ric walked out of the ring to escort into it. Ric kissed her knuckles before leading her to Vince. Vince stuck out his hand and she shook it firmly. Anna bowed her head in respect and gave a ghost of a smile.

"No offense to you Ms. Anna, but we have enough women in this company at the moment." Vince told her and Ric. Ric held up a hand to Anna, silencing her before she started.

"She is not your ordinary woman. She can take on any of the men." Ric clarified. Vince gave a smirk, as if he didn't believe him.

"Oh really? Let's test that next week. Ms Anna vs. Shawn Michaels." Vince told them before leaving the ring.

Ric and Anna were still in the ring; the former shaking the hand of the latter. They were grinning and Anna's grin was not a kind one. It told that she couldn't wait for her match, which Ric said he would be watching. Anna had one last comment to make before leaving the ring:

"This is gonna be fun!"

A/N: I've had people ask me about Anna and her career, so I decided to try and see if people want me to post chapters about her past in between actual chapters of the story. If it confuses people too much, leave a review and tell me. Then this chapter will be replaced by the next chapter, which starts with a ring. As always, leave a review and tell me what you think!
