Chapter 1:Welcome to AEW
Racheal's p.o.v:
I woke up from my slumber, with a groan, to my alarm going off. I picked it up and turned it off; then I got up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes as I sat up. I hear my precious Rottweiler come trotting into my room. He stopped near me, looked up, and barked at me. I just smiled.
"Hey, my precious baby boy," I said as I gave him so much love. "Ready for today, Brutus?"
He barked while looking excited.
"Alright, let me get up and get ready. Then, we are going to wake up Bubba, and we are going to leave, but you're staying with Grandma and Grandpa for now as Mama and Uncle Ben hafta do some stuff," I say as I get up and head to the bathroom after grabbing some clothes to change into for the day.
After doing my business, which includes brushing my hair and teeth and cleaning my gold tongue piercing, and putting in my purple gemstone gages, I walk out of my room to my brother's door with Brutus trotting behind me. You can hear his collar jingle.
"Hey brother, it's time to get up. We need to get going," I said once I got to his room and walked inside. All I hear is a groan from him. "Don't make me sic Brutus on you, you know I will," I joked.
"I'm up, I'm up," he groans as he gets up.
"Alright, hurry up. I am going to make sure my stuff is ready while you get ready," I informed him, " cause once you're done, we need to go. We have to meet Tony and need to make sure we get there before the others do."
"Why?" He asked as he moved around, getting his clothes together.
"I told you before, don't you wanna surprise our mentors and friends?" I asked with a smile. "I wanna keep this a secret until we debut and see their shocked faces."
"I understand. I just hate that we have to get up so early," he groans.
"Me too," I said, "but we need to do it. Now, hurry your skinny ass up."
I smiled and laughed as I walked away.
I started getting the attire I am planning on wearing packed. To say I wasn't nervous would be a lie. We worked with some of these people before, but now we are again, and it is strange, but a good feeling. I missed everyone, we both have. It doesn't help we get to debut on an AEW special, The Holiday Bash, and it's in Ben's home state of Texas. We are even staying in one of Dad's houses he has with Dad and Mom. They are coming to the show and they even got backstage passes. Also, ensure to have Brutus' papers in case they ask about him since they are bringing him too. I don't want to take him in just yet. The last thing I need is for them to notice my dog. The people who know us know him and I really wanna surprise our friends and mentors. You see, Brutus is an ESP, Emotional Support Animal. He helps me get comfortable and calms me down. Sadly, he can't go on commercial airlines because they don't see ESPs as service dogs like Mom and Dad's dog, Gus; but luckily, Dad has a private jet and made sure he is allowed on it. Rottweilers aren't generally classified as an ESP type of dog; but somehow, we manage to make it happen and now he is.
After I get everything I am going to need and get Brutus' leash with everything that they'll need for him, I set it out for them. I went back to Ben's room after I grabbed my stuff and knocked on his door, not wanting to see him naked again.
"Are you almost done, brother?" I asked.
"Yes, I am almost done!" He yells back and I laugh.
"Alright, I am going to the kitchen and grabbing something to eat," I told him as I walked away.
I heard a muffled "alright" from him. Brutus was still following me like a good boy he is. Before I feed myself, I make sure I give Brutus his food first. Then, I look for something for me as he is eating. As I looked, I decided to grab my favorite pop-tart, the s'mores ones. I popped both into the toaster and grabbed something to drink, which is apple juice, while I wait until they pop up. Then, I finally heard Ben's door open and heard him shuffling out. I look over and see him holding his stuff.
"Do you want the other pop-tart?" I asked.
"Sure," Ben answered with a shrug.
"So, are you excited about tonight?" I asked as the pop-tarts popped up and I grabbed mine.
"Yeah, I missed everyone," he answered as he grabbed the other pop-tart. "What about you?"
"Of course, I am more nervous about the whole thing, honestly," I answered with a hint of worry in my voice while taking a bite out of my pop-tart.
"About what?" He asked while eating. "That Tony might treat you like Vince did? 'Cause if that is the case, you don't need to be worried, 'cause look at all our friends that came over here; they're happy and succeeding more than they did back in WWE; and I do not doubt that it's gonna be the same for us, especially you."
'He doesn't know it isn't 'cause of Tony. I know he isn't like Vince, but it has to do with my secret he doesn't know about and he isn't going to know even though I hate not telling him, but I have my reasons.' I thought.
I nodded with a smile.
"Thanks, Bubba," I smiled.
He gave a nod.
We both finished our breakfast and I went to grab my stuff before we headed out.
"Alright, Brutus, you are gonna stay here with your grandma and grandpa. Be a good boy for them." I told him as I set my stuff down next to me and crouched down to his level "We'll see each other again soon."
"Alright, Little Chompers, let's go," Bubba said. "Bye Brutus."
He gave Brutus a pat on the head as I got up and grabbed my stuff.
"Bye Mom/Mum and Dad," we both yelled as we left and got to our beautiful motorcycles that we bought.
Bens bike:
My Bike:
We each have two of these speed demons and two Harleys, one of each we keep at our own house, the second we keep at the other's house for whenever one of us visits the other.
We zipped up our jackets and put on our helmets while also ensuring our bags were safely strapped on before getting on the bikes. Ben wore a colossal bag that carried our attires and gear while I carried a more oversized bag for some of our bigger, heavier supplies. Ben also brought his computer strap bag, which had our paperwork copies for Tony and the executives.
Don't ask me how he manages to carry all that while riding that type of bike because I have no idea.
Once we were set, we gave each other the go signs, fired up our engines, and hit the road.
I love the feel of the bike under me and the wind blowing past me as we ride. I also miss riding with my brother; we hardly ever get to ride together 'cause we are either busy or are at our houses, and we live in two different states. I also love our helmets. We can communicate through them and also listen to music.
His helmet:
My helmet:
I turned on my music and felt like listening to my Fozzy Playlist. It seems fitting. I jammed out to his songs as we make our way to the Freeman Coliseum. A few songs later, we arrived at our destination. Now, we just need to hide our bikes for the time being.
We walked our bikes inside and saw Tony Khan waiting for us. He greeted us and shook our hands as we took off our helmets.
"Nice to finally meet you two," Tony said. "We are happy to have you join us. We watched the videos of your matches and love what we see."
"The pleasure is ours, sir," Ben said.
"Yeah, we are happy to be here. We heard a lot of good things from our friends about you and working with the company," I told him with a smile.
"That's great, I'm glad," he smiled. "Shall we get started before tonight?"
"Yes, sir," Ben answered, "but is there a place where we could hide our bikes before we do?"
"Why yes," he answered and pointed to an area that had a stack of chairs and other things that could easily hide both their bikes from view.
"Perfect," Me and Ben said at the same time.
Then, we looked at each other and then laughed. We put our bikes up and made sure it wasn't apparent that they were there.
"Don't worry, we'll let our security staff know that they are there and make sure no one takes them," Tony informed with a smile.
We both nodded.
"Alright, let's go to my office and get started on the paperwork," he said, leading the way to his office.
"Did you bring the papers?" He asked.
"Yes sir, it's right here," Ben informed as he patted the bag with our papers.
"I do have a question," I said.
"Ask away," he said as he stopped in front of a door with his name on it.
"Does anyone know about us besides you and Renee?" I ask concerningly.
He opened the door and let us in before he answered.
"Well, Kenny knows of you guys because he is one of my executives and he is helping out, keeping anyone from interrupting knowing how important this is. I know you both wanted to keep this a secret until the two of you go out there, and I made sure the other wrestlers know to go to him and the Young Bucks because I'll be in meetings all day." He answered as he closed the door and walked to his chair, taking a seat.
He gestures to the chairs across from him and we both sit, setting our stuff next to us.
"So no one knows that we are here?" I asked and he nodded.
"Good, I know some are supposed to know, but glad you understand why we wanna keep this a surprise when we spoke over the phone. At least those who know us personally." I explained.
Just then, there was a knock at the door and we heard a voice on the other side.
"Tony, it's me, Kenny," the muffled voice said.
"Come in, quickly," Tony urges.
Kenny walks in and closes the door before Tony introduces us.
"Guys, this is Kenny and this is Racheal and Ben McFarland, better known as Racheal Moonster and Daniel Dalton."
We both stand up and shake his hand.
"But aren't you supposed to help the Bucks?" I asked, confused.
Ben had the same look too.
"Yeah, I was, but I had QT take my place so I could be here." He informed as he got a chair and sat near Tony.
Me and my brother sat back down and we both nodded.
I see Bubba open up his bag with our paperwork and hand it to Tony.
"Here are all the papers you asked for, sir," he said.
Tony nodded as he grabbed the papers from Ben's hands. He and Kenny looked over them before nodding.
"These look good," Kenny said with a smile as he set the papers he had down.
"They do, thank you," Tony said. "Do either of you have any questions or concerns at all?"
"I do have one, actually," I brought up. "Are you aware of my shared YouTube channel with Rhea Ripley?"
"I've heard a little about it, yes. Why bring it up?" Tony asked.
"I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be a problem to keep doing. It's only a fun little side project we do and it's in no way affiliated with our professions"
Tony nodded with understanding.
"Yeah, it's no problem at all. Of course, we won't be able to legally sponsor it or anything since it involves contracted individuals from WWE. Still, as long as what you two do on there is kept separate from either companies, and in no way shape, or form causes any sort of a rift between us, then by all means no problem whatsoever."
"I understand sir," I said, "We don't do that even though we start the film at the stadium but sometimes if we have time off or free time together we film outside WWE, especially with the group she with join in on the filming and just having fun, goofing off and answering questions."
"What is y'all YouTube channel called?" Curiously asked Kenny
"De Moon", I answered.
"It's a combination of our names her real name and my stage name."
"Interesting," curiously said Kenny, "I may have to check it out later."
"Alright," said Tony as he folded his hands before him, "Is there anything else?"
We both looked at each other and then we look back at Tony shaking our heads.
"Nope, I think we're good there." Answered Ben
"Alright then let's continue talking about your guys' debuts," said Tony.
"Sounds good; and just to make sure, it is tonight, right?"
I gave Ben a 'What the fuck?' face; he ignored it.
"Stupid question, I know, but I like to be overly sure of things," he added before giving me a look, too.
"Don't look at me like that," he then tells me and I just shook my head.
"You are so freakin' weird," I told him.
"Oh, and you're not?"
"Not like you."
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really," I stated. "You're married to Alexis, need I remind you, and she is crazy."
"Not on the same level as you, smartass."
"Of course not. She's above me," I laughed. "Because I don't run with someone like The Fiend."
"But you do have that whole... OTHER side of you, that's pretty freaky itself."
"True," I shrugged as I started to rock back and forth a bit out of habit, "but that only comes out here and there, though; she, on the other hand, was creepy all the time."
"Creepy, cute, and sexy as hell," I heard him mumble.
"Okay, we agree on the creepy part, maybe cute, but she isn't my type." I laughed as I shuddered a bit.
He shook his head before we realized Tony and Kenny were still here, smirking from the whole ordeal.
"Sorry, this is a thing with us," Ben noted.
"It's fine," Tony assures with a smile, "and to answer your question; yes you both are."
"You two will be helping Action Andretti and Ricky Starks against the JAS." Informed Kenny
I was shocked but excited. The biggest toothy grin started to grow on my face as I looked at my brother.
"Oh no, no no no," my brother started to say as he was looking at me.
I got up and jumped around my brother and hugged him.
"We are in a storyline with Chris," I started to sing "We are in a storyline with Chris."
"Alright, calm down!" Bubba laughed. "I'm excited too, but good lord, woman!"
"What do you expect?" I asked. "It's been so long and I've been hoping to do a real storyline with him."
Ben laughs.
"Trust me, I have too, especially with him as the JAS leader and everything."
"Chris spoke about you two a lot when talking about his later years with the company," Kenny noted. "So, we thought it would be great for both of you and him to make this your first storyline here."
"Well, it's not just that," I informed as we returned to our seats, much more calm now. "It's also a second chance for us."
"How do you mean?" Tony asked he and Kenny both showed curiosity.
I traded a happy glance with Ben before eagerly replying.
"Well, I rather talk about it when the time comes if we decide for me to go heel that is I do have some ideas and inputs for the heel turn and where I see my character going with it."
This sparked interest from the two higher-ups as they all but told me to continue.
"You see, I have never been a heel before, but always wanted to explore the aspect of my character being one. Back in WWE, I wanted to join The Judgment Day, given my close relationship to Rhea and Finn, and uh..."
I started having trouble finding my words and Ben stepped in.
"She was basically, in a manner of speaking, supposed to be what they turned Dom into, but with her own stint to it. It would've also put me in the spot they put Rey in and added some more depth to my feud with Balor. It honestly would've been great."
"Yea, it WOULD HAVE been, if Vince wasn't an old, small-minded wanker," I retorted and the others laughed.
"Vince never let her do any exploring, even when the guys IN The Judgment Day were also supporting the idea," Ben added. "To put it shortly, the idea was passed to the Mysterios instead, which is nothing against them, but it was a final straw for us, or at least one of the final ones."
"But as I said, this will create a second chance for all that, but we can talk about that more when we get there," I stated.
"We'll look forward to it," Tony nodded, looking excited for the opportunity. "In the meantime, back to tonight."
We went over the details of how tonight would go and other potential ideas to follow. We were all becoming more and more excited as things progressed. We could not wait to see how everything would turn out, nor could we wait to see the reactions we would get, especially from Jericho. We sort through everything before they double-check the last of the paperwork.
"Well, everything looks good. Any last questions?" Tony asked.
It was then I realized something.
"Oh, almost forgot, my dog, Brutus's, paperwork; I have it right here in my bag."
I pull out a copy of all his information and handed it to Tony.
"Ah, yes," he said as he grabbed the stuff and begins to look over that.
"Thank you for remembering."
"Anytime sir," I said with a smile.
"What is your dog?" Ask Kenny.
"He is a Rottweiler but don't worry he's a big sweety ask anyone who met him and he is very well trained," I informed him. "He coming tonight with our parents since I don't want him to accidentally alert the others that we are here just yet."
He nodded.
"Also one last thing we wanna make sure about our new songs," said Ben
"Yes, everything's good there," Tony nodded.
I gave a quick glance to Ben, receiving a thumbs up before turning back to Tony.
"Well, I think all is well then," I smiled.
"Perfect! Welcome to AEW," Tony grinned before he and Kenny shook hands with us.
