Well here I am, I signed with the WWF a month ago, and I'm about to start my first match since I was in the Florida indies. My dreams started to come true when the WWF scout apprached me in Orlando, he said they were looking for some new women and, with my looks and abilities, I was perfect. I even got to go to the Funkin' Dojo, the training camp that's usually just for the guys. That was incredible, I learned a lot, and got to show up a few big-headed guys. (Wanna laugh? Imagine the face of a 6'7", 260# man who just got thrown to the mat by a 5'10",130# girl. "It's all leverage, Darlin'.....".Priceless!)

When I finished training, I flew down and joined the tour in Atlanta. I expected to start up right away, but Vince told me that they hadn't decided who they wanted to put me with yet. I sat there with him for an hour throwing around ideas, but nothing seemed to work. I was surprised at how much input I had, I had none at all in my southern belle character back in Florida. He finally told me to talk to the other wrestlers, get to know them, and see who I would work best with. He sent me off with Shane to meet everyone, and we immedietly ran into Glenn Jacobs. Now just to be truthful here, I had no clue who he was without that damn mask, all I knew was that Shane was introducing me to a rather large and attractive guy, with a sort of familiar name. After a few minutes of conversation it finally clicked, "Kane!" I yelled in the middle of a sentence. Shane burst out laughing, and Glenn kinda looked at me funny. "Yeah?" he said. "God, I'm sorry" I said, blushing."It took a second for your name to click. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out why it seemed familiar." " Thats OK." He smiled "I get it a lot, I really hope it's because of the mask though, I'd really hate to be that forgettable." "Oh, you're definitly not." I grinned back. "Are you busy, Glenn?" Shane asked, "Dad wants Serena to meet everyone, but I really need to call my wife soon." "I can do it, no problem." " Go ahead, Shane. I think Glenn can handle me." I said. " Ooh, I can?!" He teased, "Now I'm sure I have the time." "Have fun you two." Shane laughed, "Find me later Serena, Dad wants you to have a good seat to watch the show tonight. " OK, see you later." I turned back to Glenn," So, where to first?" "Sean", he said." " X-Pac?" I guessed. "Oh I see, HIM you know!" "Well it's pretty hard to forget that tongue!" I joked back. " You got me there" he laughed.

We walked back to the locker rooms, and Glenn knocked on one of the doors. "Hey Sean, you decent?" he yelled through the door. A muffled voice called out "Never, but I am dressed! Why?" " Cut the sorry jokes, 'Pac. We've got a guest." " Crap! A fan?" Meanwhile, we walk in and I'm cracking up. Sean turns around and sees me laughing, "Sorry, but you two sound like my cousins back in Tampa. They bicker all the time to keep their energy up before a show..." " Sean, this is Serena Webb." Glenn said, " She just finished up at the Dojo, and signed her contract..." "You're HER," Sean interrupted him " I heard about that 'leverage' crack you made, I think I laughed for two days over that one." " Yeah, I had fun." I said, " You would have laughed a week if you'd seen that guy's face! We used that joke in my Judo class all the time." " You take Judo?" Glenn asked. " Took, is more the word, Tae Quan Do, and Karate too. I never have time to practice anymore though." " I take Judo and Karate." Sean said, " What belt are you?" " Second dan black, brown, and brown, in that order." You're about my level," he said, sounding impressed. "Would you like to work out with me?" " I would LOVE to, I was hoping I'd find some one to work out with tomorrow." We made plans to go to the gym together in the morning. Glenn said that we had better go and find some more of the wrestlers before the show started. " Remind me to show you that move tomorrow, 'Pac," I said as we were leaving. " I think I'm getting more than I can handle," He laughed. "It's all in the leverage..." I heard him laugh under his breath as we left. "Wow..." I said. " What's up?" Glenn asked. " It just hit me," I said. " I'm walking around the arena with Kane, and I just made plans to work out with X-Pac. It's a little more than I expected for my first day." "You'll get used to it. Were you a fan before this?" "A big one, but when I started in the indies back home I didn't have time to keep up with everything. I've only watched three or four times this last year. I 'm hoping that I can catch up on all the story lines tonight." "Just from tonight's show?" Glenn asked. "Well, that will help, but I was going to go back to the hotel afterward and look up some of the fan websites on the internet. A lot of them post storylines and match results for all of the shows." " I never would of thought of that," he said. "I don't reccomend it for you guys," I said cautiously. "Why not?" " Well.... There's a lot of fan fiction floating around out there. You'd be surprised, some of your fans have very active imaginations." "Now I AM intrigued. I think I might have to borrow your computer later." He said, grinning at me. "Allright, but dont blame me if you start to lose sleep from it." We were both laughing as we turned the corner, and were almost knocked down by three guys.

I looked up and nearly fell over again, three georgous blondes were staring at me. All three of them were in sunglasses, two in all black and one, the shortest, in an Attitude t-shirt. The tallest one pushed his glasses up onto his head and said, "Glenn, you've been holding out on us. Who is this lovely brunette." He immediatly flashed the most devestating smile I had ever seen. I think Glenn noticed that my knees were getting a little rubbery because he grabbed my arm and said, "Serena, meet a large portion of the infamous Canadian Mafia. Andrew, Jason, and the one with the massive dentist bill is Adam. Their characters are Test, Christian, and Edge respectively. Guys, this is Serena Webb, you might have heard about her, she's the girl who demolished a few of the guys in the training camp." I flashed Glenn my most grateful smile, (both for the support, and for building me up in front of these three babes!) "Its nice to meet you guys, Glenn is showing me around until I get a feel for everything." "Damn Glenn, how'd you get so lucky?" Adam asked," If you get bored with mask-boy here you can always join us, I for one would be glad to let you get a feel!" I raised an eyebrow and looked at Jason, "Not too forward is he?". Andrew laughed, and Jason said " He only does this when he's nervous, I think he likes you." "How often does it work?" I asked smiling. " Not very!" replied Andrew, still laughing. "Oh well maybe he'll grow out of it," I teased. Adam had started to look a little sheepish and said, " Sorry, I do tend to come on a little strong sometimes. I take it you don't have to start wrestling tonight." "No, I dont even have a character yet. Vince told me to see who I would work best with and we could tailor a persona together. That's why I'm trying to meet everybody at some point tonight." " I tell you what" Andrew said, "I dont need to change for my match tonight, I'm just going to wear this. Why don't I show Serena around some more Glenn, and you can go get ready. We can invite everyone to a kind of last minute party at the hotel tonight. That way she can meet everyone, and we get a good excuse to party tonight." " Sounds good to me." I said, " I'm always up for a good party." " Uh-Oh." Glenn laughed, "You just said the magic words! David told me once he said that to these guys, he didn't get any sleep for weeks, they dragged him to a new club in every city." " That sounds like my kind of time!" I said, " I hate to admit it, but I'm on a first name basis with every bouncer in Ybor City, back home." "Hey we shot some photos in a place called Ybor last year," Adam said. "It was David's idea, he grew up in Tampa. The clubs were great!" " You guys don't mean David Heath, do you" I asked. " He's the one person I counted on knowing here. I haven't talked to him in ages! Is he around tonight?" "Thats right, you dont know." Glenn said. " David, Adam, and Jason were the Brood together for about a year. They're all getting a big push this summer. First they were in the race for the Tag belt, then the whole team fell apart. Now Edge is getting his singles push and he and Gangrel are fighting over who Christian will stay with. What's next with that anyway guys?" "Well" Adam said " Jay and I have to job a match against the Acolytes tonight, in the middle of it Christian gets knocked out and Gangrel comes and kidnaps him. Since Gangrel made me lose the I.C. title back to Jarrett at Fully loaded, he gets a title match at the next Raw. Then at Summerslam I'll win it back from him. After that were not sure yet, the writers are trying to figure out a way to get the Brood back together again. We want the group to continue, apparently Vince didn't realize how popular we were as a group until he broke us up." "Yeah," said Jason smirking. " I hear he's been getting some irate mail from our fans." It was at that moment that I had the best idea of my life. "Hmm, I wonder..." I said. "Huh?" said Glenn. "What? Oh nothing, I just had a thought." "About?" said Adam. "Nothing important, just a little idea. Don't worry about it, you guys have to get ready. Come on Drew, help me find Shane. Y'all have fun tonight boys, I'll be cheering you on from the stands." I nearly dragged Andrew away, leaving the other guys wondering what was going on in that pretty little head of mine.

Andrew and I found Shane still on the phone in one of the offices." Thanks, Drew" I told him. " I need to talk to Shane for a little bit. Why don't you go find people for that party later. I'll already be there by the time you get back, so just come up to my room and get me. I'm in room #438." "OK Serena," he joked. " I'll leave, I can tell when I'm not wanted!" " Hardy Har Har" I said " I'm sure you don't get dismissed by girls very often. Think of it as a learning experience." "You haven't met Stephanie yet! I've already learned all about rejection from the master." " I think I like her already." " Oh, great. another one!" " Another what?" "Another girl who thinks my ego needs liposuction!" "Poor Baby," I laughed. Just then Shane finished his phone call and said " Back already? You can't have met everyone." "I got a little sidetracked," I smirked at Andrew. " We decided to throw her a little welcome party at the hotel later," he said. "That's a good idea," Shane replied. " I wanted to talk to you for a minute Shane, have you got time?" I said. Then I turned to Andrew and started to shove him out of the room. "Drew was just leaving. Bye bye, Drew." The door was shut firmly on his backside, as I waved sweetly through the window.

I turned back to a laughing Shane and said, " I have an idea. How badly does your father want the Brood back together?" "Pretty badly," he answered. " We're getting tons of negative fan feedback. Why?" "Well.." I said. "If you give me till tomorrow I might just have an answer to both our problems. I've known David Heath since I was a kid, and I just met Adam and Jason. I can already tell we'll get along great. I think if you use me as a girl from their past, you might have a perfect premise to end the 'Brood Feud'. I just need to run it by the three of them together, and do a little research on their story line." You know, that might just work...." Shane said slowly. "I'll talk to my dad about it, but you don't really fit the look we've got with them. You look a little sweet and innocent for the 'Goth' gimmick." "Before you say that," I smiled. "Come by the party they're throwing for me tonight. You might be surprised." I asked him to give me a quick over-view of the Brood's storyline, and by the time we were finished it was almost time for the show. Shane showed me out to my seat, then hightailed it backstage as the fans started to pile into the arena. It was a madhouse, the fans were so pumped. I thought the girl next to me was going to break a blood vessel when Andrew came out in his tight leather pants.. I cheered for Glenn and Sean during their match, and then it was time for the match Adam had told me about. All of a sudden all the lights went out and a strobe started flashing over the audience. I noticed a spotlight coming down the aisle I was on, and turned to see Adam and Jason making their way through the crowd. "Oh this is TOO perfect!" I said to myself. As Adam passed me, I reached out my hand and gave him a huge pinch on the ass, giving a really loud wolf whistle. He jumped about a foot and turned around to see who pinched him. Jason spotted me first and let out a huge laugh, " Go Serena!" he said. " Hey! That hurt, man!" Adam said with a grimace. I stuck my tongue out at him, and gave him a push toward the ring. "Get moving, you big wimp! You've got a match, and the cameras will be on you in a second. GO!" As they started back down, I could see them on the Titan-Tron. Adam rubbing his ass and muttering to himself, while Jason tried not to fall down laughing at him. The loud girl next to me just looked at me like I was the crazy one.

The match was great, they just flew around the ring. Toward the end I saw David sneaking out, and screamed for him. He came out and grabbed Jason, and dragged him toward the back. Adam got pinned and the match was over.

I left as soon as I could after that, I wanted to get out to my car.

As I pulled out of the parking lot, I mentally reviewed what I had in my suitcases, "Definitly need to shop." It was only about 8 o'clock, so I figured I had plenty of time to get a killer outfit, and make it back in time to shower and re-vamp my image. "Re-VAMP!" I groaned to myself, " I really need to get some better jokes. I sound like X-Pac"

After a whirlwind shopping trip, a psychotic car ride to the hotel, and a speed shower. I was standing in front of the mirror looking myself over.

" One pair of skin-tight black leather pants, Check! One sterling silver belly ring with chain, Check! One blood red spandex tank top, Check! One pair of black leather biker boots with two inch heels, Check! Hey, I'm 6 feet tall, Cool! One wild mane of black hair, Check! One black choker necklace, Check! Blood red lipstick, Check! Smoky eye make-up, Check! Hardly the sweet innocent in jeans and a pony-tail now, Shane. Did I tell him he MIGHT be surprised? I even have half an hour left to surf for info." I turned on my mini stereo, pulled out my notebook computer and proceeded to go surfing.

I barely noticed as I started to sing with the radio,

"There she goes. There she goes again. Racing through my brain, and I just can't contain, this feeling that remains."

Before I knew it, there was a knock at my door. I got up, took one last look in the mirror, and swung open the door.
