Taming The Lion's Heart

Chapter 2: Surprise Debut

Racheal p.o.v:

Tony then showed us our locker room for tonight. He gave us one that was in a private area, away from everyone else. He put a security guy to guard our door just in case. Also, let him know if we need anything.

We got prepared and asked the guy about the food for us. We both couldn't keep still, especially the closer and closer we got to the time, more so me than my brother. I was getting nervous. I'm getting to see my friends again after so long of not being able to see them as much as we are used to.

"Sis, you gotta sit down," Bubba said while on the couch and watching me pace. "I know you're nervous, I am too, but you're gonna put a hole in the ground with all that pacing you're doing."

"Sorry, I just hope everything goes to plan," I said with a hint of worry. "It's been a while since we have seen everyone; and we get to make a debut on a big event like the Holiday Bash and against a friend of ours, who mind you was a mentor as well, probably more so mine than was yours."

"I understand, Little Chomps, trust me, I do," Ben said. "I am excited that we get to see everyone again, especially Chris." He let out a chuckle. "He is my friend and mentor. Of course, I didn't hang out with him as much as you did, but he is still a good friend."

"He is that," I said with a smile.

I started to think of all the times we hung out together, both with friends and just the two of us. We had so much fun together.

I didn't realize I zoned out until I heard Ben calling my name repeatedly.

"Huh?" I said, confused as I snapped out of it.

"I was calling your name for a bit," he laughed. "Where did your mind wander to?"

"Oh, uh......" I started to say as my mind went blank and I started blushing.

Of course, he noticed and laughed.

"You ok?"

"Y-Yea, I'm - *clears throat* I'm fine, was just reminiscing." I managed, and he laughed again.

"I guess so, must've been quite the trip to memory lane," he grinned.

I nodded as I smiled.

"What was it?" He asked.

"Just of Chris and I having fun with you and the others; and also, all the adventures we had," I said. "Now that we are in the same company again, I hope we can do that again, including me and The Hardy Boyz getting together again."

"Yeah, me too," Ben smiled, reminiscing himself. "I miss all the stuff we used to do with them. It was a lot of fun; but now, we finally get to do all those again, and it may even be better."

"I hope so. It's bound to be now that we're here," Racheal smiled.

"Amen," Ben nodded. "I can already imagine the good times we'll be having here with all of our pals again."

"So can I, so long as no one else tries to start any horse shit here," I noted, and he laughingly grinned.

"Well, it certainly won't be like back at the last place. I can tell you that much," he promised before we heard a knock on our door.

He stood up to answer and was informed our food had arrived. He thanked the guard for letting us know before the people with our food entered.

"Let's eat!" He cheered, and I laughed.

We ate and made small talk. After we were finished, we watched TV while relaxing for the next few hours. We then started to get ready and change into our attires.
