Ladies and Gentlemen,

we have reached the second story arc of this book and, as you see, in this Y/N will start his own wrestling career in Ring Of Honor. You might be wondering why not NXT or Impact, since they're both located in Orlando? Well, ROH has been a great starter platform for a lot of superstars and it does have some of my current favorite wrestlers.
Anyways, I hope you will enjoy the first bit of this arc and everything else that will come.
---------------------------------------------------------

It was been about two months since Y/N and Tegan told Rhea and Dakota that Y/N would wanna start wrestling as well. That was quite a bit surprise for everyone to hear of that and it took a lot of convincing people of it, but in the end the young man found himself training endlessly. It was either a one-on-one session or a four way session in the gym, so everyone got more than just a fair share of their work out in. Of course the girls were always way more experienced in regards to wrestling, so Y/N had to catch up quick. Everything started with normal drills like taking and delivering an Irish Whip, taking bumps and bouncing from the ropes, but soon enough it got very serious with a lot of fist fighting. The young man had that down faster than anyone can say Frick or something. Because of all the fights he was in, he knew exactly what to do, so there was no time wasted with going through it again, moving on to lock ups like a Collar and Elbow tie up, a headlock, a waist lock, a grounded chin lock and many more to see what Y/N would do to get out of every single one. Some of his movements were much more sleek than anyone expected and he got right back into his fighting stance to continue.

The group of Y/N, Dakota, Rhea and Tegan was quite well mixed in terms of different styles, so every training session was different from the one before. A lot of sweat was produced due to the intense things that they've done in the ring, but it was for a greater goal in the near future. And that day came a lot sooner than expected. After two whole months of training, Tegan called her friends at ROH again, saying Y/N was ready to head over to Baltimore. Was he though? Y/N knew the business would take a lot out of him time wise as well as body wise, but he was done just sitting around, letting day after day pass with no real success in job hunting. He had his clothes and other essentials packed already, loaded into his car and prepared for the travels that awaited him. The only thing that was left to do was to give everyone a  heartfelt See You Later instead of a goodbye. This was never going to be a goodbye for a long time and Y/N couldn't leave his housemates just out of the blue. That was when everyone met in front of the house.

Y/N:" Well... The day has finally arrived, hasn't it?"

Dakota:" It feels like you just got here yesterday and now you're gonna be so far away from us."

Rhea:" It's incredible to reflect on how much you turned our lifes upside down. You came here in early December last year and now you're gonna go out and make a name for yourself in wrestling."

Tegan:" We will be watching the shows as well as we can, believe that. You've been a great person to all of us so far and I'm sure once you found your way, you will become even better."

Y/N:" I'm only as good as you make me, ladies. It's thanks to all of you that I'm able to make this step, so I can't thank you three enough for helping me with everything, for being such great people and for making my life so exciting. Wherever ROH leads me, I will never forget everything you did for me. Don't See it as a goodbye though, it's a case of seeing each other later again"

Dakota:" Since we're on that topic, we will facetime when all of us can, right?"

Y/N:" You can bet your sweet ass on that. I'm not gonna just be in my hotel room and count the dots on the wallpaper or something."

Tegan:" Take care of yourself out there, Y/N. I don't wanna rescue you from a bunch of crazy ladies again."

Rhea:" But we would, if the situation calls for it. Also you're much stronger and more versatile in how to defend yourself, Y/N. I bet you won't have too many problems."

Y/N:" Thank you all, really. I will keep you in my heart and mind at all times, even when it gets tough."

And in a matter of seconds, the four were hugging each other tightly. Everything that was said was true. Y/N did get better in general, his physique changed for the better, he became a bit taller too and he had a lot more stamina (take that however you like ;) )
Dakota, Rhea and Tegan gave him one kiss after another to send him off the right way and to make sure that nobody would get the idea of taking their man away from them. Y/N was kissing back as well, so there was nobody unattended at that moment. Unfortunately time wasn't really on their side because Y/N had to get on the road pretty quick, if he wanted to make it to Baltimore in time. The trip would take long enough after all, so he he wouldn't show any signs of stopping. It took a bit for the group to seperate, but when they did, the four looked at each other again before Y/N slowly got to his car.

Rhea:" Take care, Y/N. We will miss you."

Y/N:" I will miss you too, ladies."

Tegan:" Whoever will be first to meet you, make sure to be nice. It's gonna get you through a bit easier."

Dakota:" And keep up your work out routine. I don't want you to slack off just because we're not around."

Y/N:" You're talking to THE gentleman of all gentlemen here. I will always find a way to make everything work...I have to get on the road now. We will see each other sooner rather than later."

So Y/N got into his car, strapped himself in and honked the horn as another way of parting ways for a bit while the girls all waved at him. Yes, it was hard for all of them, but Y/N was determined, he was sure he could step up to that job and he would kick as much ass as possible. Getting the GPS set, he got out of his usual parking spot and started the journey towards his new destination.
---------------------------------------------------------

About 10 hours into the drive, Y/N was taking a small break at the side of the road to get the blood in his legs flowing again. Sitting in the same position for hours on end was definitly putting a strain on him at one point, but he could guess he was definitly closer to where he was supposed to go. Taking out his phone, Y/N just scrolled through his social media, looking at possible news which might have caught attention, but unfortunately there was nothing of interest. He then checked his e-mails to see, if they had anything to offer. The majority was just trash, some of his old co-workers also tried to get back in touch with him, but the most interesting message was from ROH executives themselves. Y/N clicked on it and read right through everything that was written. Something about them explaining what the company stood for, how their product is different from anyone else's and that a new adventure was ahead of him. They even put in the names of a few of their current superstars like Matt Taven, Brodie King, PCO, TK O'Reilly, Jay Lethal, Vincent Marseglia, Tyler Bateman, Kelly Klein, Mandy Leon, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. Hell, they still had Bully Ray and Colt Cabana coming in from time to time. It Kay not sound too impressive, but what they did with the talent they had was still very entertaining. Y/N chuckled and replied that he looked forward to work with everyone and that he would be in Baltimore in just a few hours. After sending that reply, Y/N got back in the car and on the road to actually make it to the city before midnight. It was 7:29 pm already, so a place to sleep shouldn't have been too far either.

Y/N:" New year, new me, huh? I think, if I do everything right, I might like this more than I thought. Let's see who my first match could be against."

That was enough for him to plan out possible matches and rivalries for the future and thinking about what he could do in terms of a gimmick. There was already so much going on in the wrestling world anyways, so coming up with something original was getting much harder too. Y/N didn't wanna portray a superhuman persona, nor did he wanna base himself off of any movies or video games. That definitly wasn't his style. A bit of funny, twisted mindgames were fun to watch though, but he didn't wanna copy someone like The Undertaker or Bray Wyatt these days. Instead, he wanted a natural progression for himself and depending on how much time he got until a serious TV debut, he might need a gimmick sooner or later. It was a busy night in general with an almost endless stream of cars passing by as well as street lights, so why shouldn't Y/N get busy? It was going to come to that conversation at any point in time, so preparing himself for potential questions was the right thing to do.
---------------------------------------------------------

Finally after thirteen and a half hours, the sweet release of reaching the city was there. Since Y/N started driving at 10 am, this was exactly what he needed after being in the car for what felt like forever. Fortunately the nearest hotel wasn't too far away anymore, making him long for the soft, fluffy feeling of a nice bed. Also, he should probably take a shower soon too. The car got pretty warm on the inside, making him sweat a bit along with the feeling of exhaustion washing all over. Yawning, Y/N took a left turn and drove right up to the front of the hotel he had looked for. It was a big building, sure, but it didn't need much of a touch up to be pulling in visitors.

People were going in and out of it like ants, so it must've been a good spot to actually stay at. Y/N smiled tiredly, parked the car and got his luggage out of the trunk before making his way into the hotel itself. The first thing that hit him was an absolute assault of bright lights and different groups of people talking loudly. It was definitly not much to his taste, so ignoring the busy folks around him, the big man made his way to the reception where he was met with a forced smile and fake kindness from one of the employees. Something didn't feel too well for Y/N.

Receptionist:" Good evening, Sir. How may I help you?"

Y/N:" It's obvious that I need a room for a while. Are there any free?"

Receptionist:" Of course, Sir. Would you like a regular room, which may be more in your price range, or would you like a more luxurious room?"

Y/N:" I'm fine with a normal room, as long as I have somewhere to sleep."

Receptionist:" Alright, then I just need your name, a signature and the money for your stay."

Y/N sighed shortly, but complied and told the guy everything he wanted to know, gave him the signature in the small book he had and then put the money on the counter as well to satisfy whatever need this hotel had. By now it was only a few minutes until midnight, so the need for sleep was getting greater and greater. Soon enough, Y/N had the key and the room number, thanking the receptionist with a small Thank You.

Walking up the stairs, Y/N was sometimes receiving weird looks because a 'regular' among the higher ups in society seemed to be frowned upon, but he didn't mind at all. If one of those fancy pricks was actually trying to make fun of him, he knew exactly how to scare them off without actually hurting anyone around. He just walked right through the halls, until his room was in sight. That was a big relief to Y/N as he unlocked the door and finally had some privacy. The young man was putting all of his stuff away, put his phone on the nightstand to charge and then got ready for bed. He just took off his shirt, pants and socks as always and then let himself fall into the softness that was the bed. Y/N knew he had to be at the arena early in the morning and his alarm was set as well, so he wouldn't miss anything. A whole new adventure waited for him after all and with it came new people, new situations and now ways of thinking.
