Chapter 2
Dani's parents quickly got in their car and headed to the arena. Dani was getting getting ready to do a promo shot for her quest for the WWE Woman's Championship title. Dani waited patiently for the camera crew to come over to her. But little did she know that her parents had just walked through the arena doors and were on their way to finding her.
"Princess, are you ready?" a camera man asked.
"You bet." Dani answered.
Dani went on to do her promo shot and just as she was about to finish, her parents stepped right behind her and the camera man zoomed out to get them in the shot. Dani swallowed hard as she faced her parents. Her heart was racing a mile a minute. The camera man stopped filming just before Dani and her parents said anything.
"What do you think you are doing?" her father asked once they were in a private room.
"Doing what I love to do." Dani answered.
"You could get hurt out there. You are not properly trained for all this." her mother responded.
"Danielle, what are you thinking?" her father asked.
"I'm thinking that I am making a career like you did when I was growing up." Dani answered.
"A career in the WWE? Do you really know what it takes to make a career in the WWE?" her mother asked.
"Yeah. I do know what it takes. It takes a lot of hard work, patience, talent, bumps, bruises and even a few broken bones. And I am properly trained, dad. I've been training for the last 2 years non-stop to do this." Dani answered. "And sure I might have to turn heel or go face here and there, but I know what I want and I am not afraid to go after it."
"Dani, you are just as stubborn and hard headed as your father." her mother stated.
"Hey!" her dad responded.
"Well, it's the truth. Dani, why didn't you tell us you wanted to do this?" her mother asked.
"Because I didn't think that you would let me do this. I grew up around the WWE. It's only natural for me to want to do this." Dani answered.
Her parents exchanged looks again. Dani wanted nothing more than for her own family to support her decisions and to stand behind her. She knew that her siblings would, but would her parents? Dani waited as patiently as possible for her parents to say something.
"Alright. If this is what you really want to do. We support you." her mother stated.
"Thank you mom and dad!" Dani responded as she hugged her parents. "I need to go change out of my ring gear and Kelsey will be back here soon."
"Ok. We'll be here waiting." her father stated.
As Dani walked down the hall to the women's locker room, she heard her ring name being called out. At first she just pretended not to hear her name and kept walking. The guy calling out her name followed her and finally caught up to her.
"Princess, hold up." he stated before Dani finally stopped.
"Can I help you?" Dani asked.
"I just wanted to tell you that I thought you did really well out there." he answered.
"Than... Thanks." Dani stuttered as she turned around and realized that she was talking to the tattooed hottie she saw earlier.
"You're welcome. By the way, my name is Randy." Randy stated.
"It's nice to meet you Randy. My name is Danielle, but everyone calls me Dani." Dani responded.
"Well, Dani. It's nice to meet you. I hope to see you around more often." Randy stated. "Well, I gotta get ready for my match."
"See you around." Dani responded.
While Dani changed clothes, she noticed that her left shoulder was sore. She finished changing, found Kelsey and headed over to where the medics were. Dani and Kelsey sat down on one of the many crates and Vanessa came over to take a look at Dani's shoulder. All three women were focused on the TV as Randy's match had just started.
