Homecoming(O2A)

[Sarah Andrews-Cross]

Finally she thought to herself as she stepped into the lobby of Angel Towers. It signaled a new beginning for Sarah, but at the same time it was sort of a homecoming for her also. Having split time between Calgary & Las Vegas during her teen years, from mother's house to father's house and back again, she had grown most fond of her "Canadian" side of her family and was eager to see each and everyone of them. But most of all she realized this meant a fresh start for her and Jason. One that would separate them from the one person that so desperately wanted to keep them apart in anyway he could. Her very own brother.

She had already gone through her interview and evaluation process with the three sisters before arriving. Knowing that Jason had already signed his agreement to work for the new promotion and wanting to return to Canada anyway, made her choice an easy one. So easy that she had the sisters sign her to a deal over the phone and then hopped the first available flight to Toronto with the wind at her back. Now as she walks through the lobby of the Tower, a feeling of control has come back over her knowing that nothing stands in their way of happiness and now she can get back to doing what she had started on nearly six months ago before all of the madness. Making her name one of the one's spoken when referring to the best female wrestler in the world. As she finds herself at the elevators, the doors open up and as she raises eyes she sees...

[Elizabeth Knight]

... Elizabeth Knight. She'd arrived earlier in the week with her fiance, Nathan "The Cannuckler" Micheals, once apart of the same company that Sarah was too a part of, along with her husband. She smiles as Sarah enters, instead of leaving for her destination, she just decided to talk. But nothing could really come to mind, as the two stood in the elevator for a few, watching the floors count by. Finally, Elizabeth breaks the ice, shaking away any shyness.

"So... um... excited about joining the ranks of the women's division?"[/b]

[Sarah Andrews-Cross]

Sarah couldn't help but feel weird about standing this close to someone she had modeled a lot of her own in ring techniques after for so long. Elizabeth Knight. One of if not THE best female wrestler in the entire world. As they ride up the many floors she hears the question posed by Elizabeth. She knew it was something just to break the awkward moment so she obliges with...

[shadow=purple,left,300]Umm...Well...Yeah I'm excited you could say...It's a great opportunity as most promotions won't make a title just exclusive for women so...Would have been foolish to not make sure when the doors opened I wasn't one of the first here...So...But hey, I hear you're getting married or have gotten married. Either way congratulations...You and Nathan make such a cute couple...[/shadow]

[Elizabeth Knight]

(OOC... thought you were crashing? )

She nods her head.

"Yes... Nathan and I are getting married... not yet though. A New Years wedding... I guess that's the big thing nowadays. Was going to be in New York, but he thought coming here would be better, so it's blatantly obvious that the location is going to change."[/b]

She smiles at Sarah.

"And you and Jason? How is that big monster doing now that he left? Are you guys happy with the move?"[/b]

[Sarah Andrews-Cross]

OOC: Was but I can't resist a reply. It's an addiction... ;D

[shadow=purple,left,300]In all honesty...We're just happy to be away from certain people Liz...Sometimes safety and a little piece of mind goes a long way over anything else. They were offering me a lot of money to compete in New York but...I just didn't like the idea of spending most of it on hospital bills for me and Jason y'know?...[/shadow]

[Elizabeth Knight]

"Ah... the Familia, I take it? Yeah... only really heard one of their constant comments about me over the radio and in a few interviews. And they wanted to face my partner and myself when we won their Tag Titles... but other than that? I never saw nothing of them."[/b]

She sighs as she looks back to the door.

"I don't really like the fact that we've just left a bunch of our friends with no good-byes, though. It's great that you and I caught back up, although I only truly know you from Kimberly's party..."[/b]

[Sarah Andrews-Cross]

A smile comes to her face as she remembers the party in question Liz was referring to. She remembers quite well the night she caught full view of Mr. Buck Wylde's...Umm...Continuing on...

[shadow=purple,left,300]There's that word again...Familia...Uggh...Can't even stand to say it without feeling nausea...But anyway...I don't believe they'll miss me too much...I never even got a chance to compete there before leaving. Though I did get along with all the other girls down there. A shame I couldn't get to know you girls better. Could have learned a lot from some of them too. But hey look at it this way...We have our own division here and I plan on making my mark on the world here...[/shadow]

[Elizabeth Knight]

The elevator eases to a stop. She thought she caught a glimpse of a shy smile at mention of Wylde's part of the party...

"I hear that the masked one was looking forward to you being around... but, I'm sure that he has plenty to deal with after all of the departures that have taken place."

The door slides open.

"But, this division does indeed excite me too, as long as it doesn't turn into the bra and panty joke that Connecticut makes it out to be. And, it's never too late to learn, take it from me... I'm sure that you'll mold yourself right into what you want to fashion yourself to be."[/b]

[Sarah Andrews-Cross]

A peculiar look crosses Sarah's face as she hears of all of the unexpected talent leaving the promotion they both had been a part of last season. She herself didn't understand what had transpired but she knew that the result was there being a lot of top talent available. She motions with her hand insisting that Liz step out first and she follows close behind as she comments.

[shadow=purple,left,300]I know. That was weird wasn't it? I mean all that talent in one place and then all of a sudden half of it up and leaves. Strange. Very strange. All I know is Jason woke up one morning and said he couldn't go back and that he wasn't going to. [/shadow]


A brief moment of silence comes over the conversation between the women as they both walk along the beautiful corridors of the Tower searching for their respective room numbers. Then...

[shadow=purple,left,300]And being that I hadn't gotten attached to the place yet it was easy for me to say fine. Whatever makes him happy is pretty much alright with me. That and other people and situations made a big impact on the decision actually but...I believe everything will turn out for the best. The Angels seem to be adamant about this being a top notch promotion and they sure are signing some top notch names in the business. Only thing I don't get Liz is...[/shadow]

But before Sarah can continue with her min rant the two women run into someone Sarah neither expected nor believe she would ever see again...

[speeddemon]

Sarah? Is that you? I don't believe it. What are you doing here? I mean I know what you're doing here. It's obvious. I just thought you were competing in New York now. At least that was the word going around the hall in Ohio.

As he stands there with a bag draped over his shoulder searching for his room just as the two women in front of him were, thoughts of this woman begin to bounce off of his brain back and forth. He quickly thinks back to a time when he realized he had feelings for her. Strong feelings. Though they were just friends it didn't help him in keeping his very potent feelings about her at bay. All this and more flows through his mind as she steps forward with a surprising smile on her face as he does also. After a brief hug greeting he says...

But wow. You look great Sarah. You always have though so I guess that shouldn't be surprising. Man it's good to see you though. So who's your friend here?

[Sarah Andrews-Cross]

A look of genuine shock overcomes Sarah's face as the awkward and unexpected hug from her "old friend" ends and they both step back with that look of shock quickly transferring into a look of surprise. She remembered the man from a certain bingo hall they both had competed in earlier in the year and never thought she would see him here of all places. She also knew full well of his "feelings" for her back then and knew that this must be a weird situation him as it was for her. Barely able to form words afterwards she motions her hand to Ms. Knight and speaks introducing her new friend.


[shadow=purple,left,300]This is uhhh..Elizabeth Knight...I'm sure you'll remember her if you...Her brother was the late...Brian Knight...[/shadow]


Her words trail off as she still can't believe the young highflyer was standing across from her after such a long time. She tries her best to continue on as Ferrari and Elizabeth briefly shake hands and smile at each other then both stepping back to their original spots as Sarah chimes back in.

[shadow=purple,left,300]But ahh...Yeah me and Liz were just talking about old times back in New York...That and trying to find these room numbers of ours...Seems the sisters wanted it to be a chore to find yours around here but...My good god...I must admit it IS good to see you again...I...I'm surprised but it's still good to see you Ferrari...So what brings YOU to Toronto? It's a long way from Germany so what gives?
[/shadow]

[Elizabeth Knight]

Elizabeth nods to Ferrari as she's introduced, shaking hands. She listens to the other two speak, as she remembers her time in the Bingo hall, tagging with her brother.

[speeddemon]

Oh I see. Yeah Elizabeth Knight. Yeah everybody knows you. One of the best females in the world. Well it's nice to meet you Liz.

After a brief exchange of smiles between everyone present, Ferrari turns his attention back to the woman of the hour with a look of genuine happiness for the first time in a while for him personally.

So uhh...Sarah since we're both here and haven't seen each other in a while, I figure it might be fine for us to stop by the cafeteria and y'know...Catch up a little...I'm dying to know what's been going on with you since you left the bingo hall. So?

[Sarah Andrews-Cross]

[shadow=purple,left,300]Ummm...Well....I ahhh...[/shadow]

Sarah's voice trails off as she thinks about actually doing it at first But after thinking a little more she thinks that might be a bad idea. Jason might not understand something like that even though she saw the man as nothing more than a friend. She could also feel the awkward feeling of the atmosphere and even the weird position Liz must have been in with what was being said at the time


[shadow=purple,left,300]I...Don't think that would be appropriate really Ferrari. I mean I'm married now and I don't know how Jason would feel about something like that happening right now. I'm sorry. Maybe another time if possible. I hope you understand?[/shadow]

[Jason Cross]

Not realizing what sort of akward situation was taking place Jason Cross also looking for his room approaches his wife Sarah from behind. Wrapping his arms around her and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek he speaks jokingly to her.

"There's my girl, I suppose your going to tell me that you didn't miss me at all again."*His voice more serious now*"So did you find our room yet I mean I can't carry our stuff around all day."

[Sarah Andrews-Cross]

Feeling the embrace of Jason's arms around her she immediately knows who it is with those massive arms. Then within a second her face changes to an look of someone who was extremely nervous as she realizes by the look on Ferrari's face that he had no idea and that she had been so careless as to not tell him about her recent marriage. She comments as she turns her head slightly to face Jason...

[shadow=purple,left,300]Oh...Hey baby...And umm no we haven't found it yet...I ran into an old friend from the bingo hall...[/shadow]

She motions her hand to the young man standing across from her as she goes on, faintly noticing the look of pure shock on his face.

[shadow=purple,left,300]This is Ferrari. He's signed on to wrestle here too. So you two may end up facing each other one day.[/shadow]

[Jason Cross]

Jason looks Ferrari over and gives him a quick nod in greeting.

"From the bingo hall eh? Man APW is getting people from all over."*Jason's voice takes on a more joking tone.*"Me and him in a match, well I'll take it easy on him unless he does something like hit on my wife, if he does that then I'm going to have to break both his legs."

Jason stands arms still around Sarah eying Ferrari he was starting to pick up on the awkward feelings in the room but decided to wait and instead offered a wave in greeting Elizabeth Knight who he recognized from New York.

[speeddemon]

With an initial look of shock on his face Ferrari still manages to return the head nod from Jason as a greeting. He hadn't even known Sarah was involved in a serious relationship when she left the bingo hall on that last day he saw her.


Wife? Whoa...Umm...Okay...talk about being out of the loop...Ha Ha..


Ferrari forces a farce of a laugh as he is of course confused and a bit distraught from the events forming before his eyes. Yet he finds a way to continue with his charade.


Okay Sarah...Okay...That's great news to hear...I'm so happy for you girl...You deserve it...


He stops and his eyes almost begin to become intensely fixated on her face as Jason continues to hold her with his massive arms wrapped around her. He quickly glances to Ms. Knight and she herself had also formed a fake smile as she too could feel the feelings in the hallway where they stood. He snaps himself out of his small trance and focuses back on Jason's face forcing the smile to return to his face again.


Yeah Sarah and me trained a little together down there. And you don't have to worry about anything like that man...Not at all...Right Sarah?

His face then turns to look Sarah dead center of her eyes. He knew she knew of his feelings for her and that this was awkward for him as it was for them all. Almost as if trying to punish her for moving on with her life after she knew she was always the apple of his eye.

[Sarah Andrews-Cross]

Sarah immediately feels the negative energy from her old friend back in the bingo hall. A feeling of fear about what could possibly transpire because of the words being passed between them comes over her and she quickly tries to handle the situation before either Liz or Jason catch on.

[shadow=purple,left,300]Of course...Of course but ahh...It was good to see you again Ferrari. It really was but we have to get to our room now. We have to get settled in and everything. Speak with our new bosses and all. You understand...
[/shadow]

He nods his head as he takes his bag he has with him tossing it over his opposite shoulder as he watches the newly couple prepare to leave. He watches Sarah as she steps over giving a brief hug to Liz and she and Jason turn to leave down the hallway searching for their temporary room. He gives Jason one last head nod as he turns following closely behind Sarah who seemed to be in quite the hurry. That left he and Liz standing there in another awkward situation and after a few last words between them about meeting each other and hoping to work together in the future he turned and began making his way down the hall in the opposite direction of Jason and Sarah. All the while she and Jason were walking the halls she couldn't help but think about the comment made by her old friend. She knew exactly what he meant when he said what he said. She just didn't know why he chose to say it at that time. But she intended on finding out.
