Chapter 17

John walked with Lily back to the locker room. Along the way, they passed by more Superstars and Divas. AJ Lee stopped them for a second.

"Lilyana, you looked great out there. Good luck tonight." AJ said.

Lily thanked her and then she and her dad continued on. It didn't take them long to be back in the comfort and quiet of the locker room. Lily went over and plopped down on the couch. She was so nervous about her match but didn't want to tell anyone.

John sat beside her to talk but they were interrupted by Randy coming in.

"Hey, John, Vince wants to see you for a minute. He said to send you to his office. He said something about a new storyline he wants to run by you." Randy told his best friend.

Lily hugged her dad and sent him on his way. Randy sat down and looked at his goddaughter. He could tell she was really nervous about the match so he decided to try to help her relax.

"Hey Lils, I know you are nervous so would you like some advice on how to calm down?" he asked her.

Lily smiled and nodded her head. They spent the next 10 minutes doing some calming breathing exercises and stretching. Lily was feeling better but her nerves were still a bit on edge. She about jumped off the couch when there was another knock on the door. Her nerves were forgotten when she saw who was responsible for it. The man that had knocked was none other than her idol, the best in the world, straight edged superstar, and WWE Champion, CM Punk. Lily couldn't believe her ears when she heard him ask to speak to her. It was like she was in a dream.

"Come on in Phil. Lily is over the on the couch. I am sure she would love to chat with you." Randy said with a smirk.

Lily shot him a small glare that quickly turned into a smile when Phil sat down beside her. He smiled back at her.

"So I hear you have a match with Keri Jensen tonight. I thought you might like a few pointers." Phil told her.

"Umm…yeah. Thanks." She said shyly.

Randy couldn't help smirking at his goddaughter's bashfulness around Phil. As he was standing there watching it, Cody and Ted came in. He shushed them and pointed. They also couldn't help getting enjoyment out of watching the little firecracker Lily being all bashful. Cody whispered to Randy.

"Looks like our little Lily Pad has a crush." He whispered.

Randy had to stifle his chuckle at that. Phil heard the guys chuckling quietly and kind of glared at them. Lily turned around and gave them her best mean look. Cody and Randy looked slightly embarrassed at having been caught. Ted just grinned.

"AJ was telling me that Keri is Daniel Bryan's niece. Apparently he has been working with her and teaching her the yes lock." Phil told Lily.

"What? Ok that does not make me feel any better about this match." Lily responded.

Her shyness was quickly forgotten upon hearing this bit of information. She was sure she would make a fool of herself out there now. She didn't think she was ready to face Keri at all. Sure she had seen plenty of guys defeat Daniel Bryan but they were experienced.

Phil could see that she was nervous about the match so he decided to give her some advice.

"First of all, I have no doubt that you are ready for this match. Remember, I was one of the guys out there training you earlier. You were catching on pretty quickly. Second of all, I have something I want you to try. Do you have an Ipod?" he said.

"Yeah, it is in my bag. Do you really think I am ready?" was her reply.

"Yeah Kiddo, I do. Now, I want you to get your Ipod and listen to music on it that helps you become calm and focused. It also helps to listen to music that gets your blood pumping and your adrenaline flowing. Spend some time sitting here listening to it. Then I want you to get up and do some jumping around while listening to the music. That will help get your body ready as well as your mind and spirit." He told Lily.

After that she thanked him for the advice and he hugged her. After he left, she went over to Randy, Cody and Ted. She playfully punched each of them in the arm. They pretended that it hurt.

"What was that for Lily Pad?" Cody asked.

"You know what it was for Flying Squirrel." She replied.

"Don't worry Firecracker, your secret is safe with us." Ted told her.

Lily giggled and shook her head. It seemed like everyone had a different nickname for her. Her dad called her Princess, Uncle Randy called her Lils, Mike called her Mini Miz, Zack's favorite was Lil Broski and Cody called her Lily Pad. Now Ted was calling her Firecracker. Still giggling, she went over and got her Ipod out of her bag and went back to the couch. She sat there for a little bit just losing herself in the music. She was so relaxed that she didn't even notice her dad come back in and sit beside her. When he tapped her on the shoulder, she looked up in shock and took the head phones out for a minute.

"Hey there Princess, you only have about 15 minutes until it will be time to go to the gorilla area. I thought you might want to get up and get that blood flowing." John said.

"Thanks Daddy. Phil said I should do that. I guess I just got lost in the music." she said while standing up. "Oh and Daddy, will you be disappointed if I lose by submission tonight?"

"Princess, as long as you go out there and give it your all, I will be proud of you. Win or lose, it doesn't matter." He told her.

Lily smiled, put the headphones back in her ears and switched to some upbeat music that always got her hyped. She jumped, danced around and did some jumping jacks. Before she knew it, a crew member was knocking on the door and warning that she had five minutes until go time. At that same moment, Mike showed up at the locker room door.

"I thought you might like me to walk with you to the gorilla area. So how 'bout it Mini Miz?" he asked her.

"Yeah sounds great." She said putting her Ipod away.

Lily walked to the gorilla area with Mike and her dad. Uncle Shawn and Uncle Hunter were waiting for them. They both wished her luck and told her they were proud of her. She thanked them and gave each of them a final hug. They were walking away when Keri walked up. She was dressed in a Barbie pink sports bra and skirt. She glares at Lily.

"I hope you're ready to lose Cena because you're going down." She said to Lily.

"Oh don't you worry about me Jensen. I was born ready. But I have no intention of losing to a Barbie look-a-like." Lily said glaring.

John stood next to his daughter watching the exchange. He was proud of her. She wasn't letting her opponent see that she was nervous. She wasn't letting this girl shake her up. Yup, as far as John was concerned, his daughter was definitely like him.

Soon they heard Lillian Garcia talking.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce the manager of the Lil Divas Division, The Dark Angel, Anna Wight!" she said.

The song "Evil Angel" by Breaking Benjamin started playing and Anna made her entrance. She was dressed in a black sports bra, black short shorts and black boots. She was also sporting her signature black angel wings.

Lily couldn't help but laugh when she saw her but her laughter quickly turned back to nervousness when she heard Anna start announcing the match. It wouldn't be long and she would be in the ring for her debut match. Soon, Anna had announced Keri's name and the song "Pretty Girl Rock" by Keri Hilson started playing. Keri ran out onto the stage and down to the ring. The crowd cheered a little for her. Lily just shook her head. There was no way she would ever live down losing to this girl.

John and Mike could both see Lily was getting nervous. John looked her in the eyes and talked to her.

"Now remember Princess, no matter what happens out there, I'm proud of you. I love you!" he said and then gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Lily hugged him for a minute but let go when she heard Anna talking again. Mike hugged her.

"Just remember, you're the Mini Miz and you're AWESOME!" he told her.

Lily giggled. Soon she heard Anna saying her name and her dad's music started playing. She hesitated at first, scared to go out there. John gave her a reassuring smile and she stepped out onto the stage. The crowd was on their feet cheering for her. She ran down to the ring and slid under the ropes. Once again, she did the classic Cena pose for the crowd. Then she removed her shirt and Anna took it. Under the t-shirt she had on her green sports tank.

Lily and Keri stood there glaring at each other until the bell rang signaling the start of the match. Lily grinned at Keri.

"If ya want some Jensen then come get some!" she said taunting the other girl.

Keri came at Lily and they traded punches for a few minutes. Lily broke free and climbed the ropes. She jumped of the top, drop kicking Keri. The crowd went wild and began chanting "Let's go Cena". This fired Lily up for a minute but soon Keri was back on the offensive. They continued to wrestle in what seem to be a pretty even match. Lily went to execute a move and missed. She soon found herself in the yes lock.

"Go ahead and tap, Cena. There's no way you are getting out of this one." Keri said snidely.

Lilyana refused to give up. She was a Cena and Cena's never give up. She struggled and tried to break the lock but couldn't. It was starting to hurt a little and the strain was evident on her face. Keri was grinning, proud of herself. John was pacing. He didn't understand why Lily hadn't tapped yet. He wanted to go out there and tell her it was ok for her to tap out but he knew he couldn't.

Just when everyone was sure that Lily was going to tap, Lily remembered something. CM Punk had reversed the yes lock and pinned Daniel Bryan at Over the Limit. She pictured the moves in her head and knew what to do. Having mapped out a plan in her head, she executed it perfectly. Keri (along with the audience and entire back stage area) was surprised to find herself pinned. The ref did the three count and the match was over. Anna came running into the ring with a mic. A stunned Keri let go of Lilyana and rolled out of the ring. Anna helped Lily up.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of this match is….LILYANA CENA!" Anna said as she held Lily's arm up high.

Lily couldn't believe it. She had actually reversed the yes lock and won the match. John's music started playing again and he came out to congratulate his daughter. When he got in the ring he scooped her up in a hug and swung her around. Lily giggled.

"You did it Princess. I am so proud of you." He whispered.

He helped her out of the ring and then put her down. They walked to the back together with their music playing. Once backstage, they were greeted by many of the Superstars and Divas. They congratulated Lily on winning. After they were able to make their way through the crowd, John took his daughter back to the locker room. Randy, Cody, Mike, Ted, Hunter, Shawn and Phil were waiting for them.

"Great job Lils! I'm proud of you." Randy said.

"Yeah that was AWESOME!" Mike said.

Lily giggled at his use of his favorite word and hugged both Randy and Mike. Ted, Hunter and Shawn all took turns congratulating her and then Phil asked a serious question.

"Who taught you how to reverse that submission hold?" he asked.

Lily smiled. She knew that the answer she was about to give would confuse him but it was the truth.

"You did." She said simply.

"How the heck? No I didn't" he insisted.

Lilyana laughed at everyone's bewildered looks. She cleared her throat and began explaining.

"Well, I remembered you doing the exact same thing at Over the Limit against Daniel Bryan. I was able to play the moment back in my head and see what you did. Then I just did it the same way." She told the guys that were now staring open mouthed at her.

The guys couldn't believe what they were hearing. This girl just told them that she was able to do any move she saw executed and not just when she saw it live. She had watched that pay per view at a friend's house. This girl was unlike any other wrestler they knew. She was truly a natural.

"Wow, Cena, your daughter is a natural. Those other Lil Divas better watch out." Phil said.

The others agreed. After that things calmed down a bit.

"Dad, can we get showered and go get some food. I'm starving!" Lily whined.

The guys couldn't help but laugh. This girl was a Cena through and through. John agreed and Lily grabbed her stuff and showered. The others had showered already since Lily's match was the last match of the night. Once she was showered and dressed, they packed up and headed to get some food. Needless to say, Lily was very happy and was asleep in Randy's hummer before they even got back to the hotel. John carried her up to the room and tucked her in. He kissed her forehead and whispered "I love you." to her before getting ready for bed himself. He was proud of his girl. She had went out to that ring and gave her all. She had shocked everyone when she pulled out the win. Tomorrow would be an interesting day since John still had to tell her about Vince's storyline idea. While he lay in bed, he wondered what Lily was going to think of it.
