Chapter 1: Like A Star

"Beautiful shot," The photographer said to Jennifer Best. Jen was currently doing a photoshoot. For the photoshoot - she chose to wear a leather floral printed jacket over a lace bra, black skinny jeans with a gucci belt, and black lace-up ankle booties. Her blonde hair was flowing down in wild waves. Her eye makeup was done with soft brown eyeshadow and winged eyeliner. She wore nude matte lipstick.

She set up for her last pose and then her photoshoot would be complete. She placed her hands on her hips and pooched her lips out.

"Nice work, Jen; you're very photogenic."

"Thank you," Jen smiled. "Do you mind if I see how the pictures turned out?" The photographer motioned for Jen to stand in front of the computer screen where her shots were saved. Jen was awestruck with her shots. "Wow!"

"How did everything go?" Jen turned around and saw Kenny Omega make his presence known. He was dressed in his gray terminator tights. The Best Bout Machine was scheduled to compete on AEW dark against Jack Evans of TH2 for the AAA Mega championship, which was in Kenny's possession. Kenny stood beside Jen and observed her shots. "Beautiful."

Jen blushed. "I'm glad you think so."

"I think you look absolutely exquisite," Kenny said. "But, it doesn't matter what I think. All that matters is that you're satisfied."

"I love the way these photos turned out."

"I'm going to have to steal one of these photos once they get developed."

"What's the purpose?" The Elite Queen wondered.

"It's for my personal keeping," The Cleaner replied. "Just a little reminder that I'm with someone so captivating."

"I can't argue with that."

"You plan on posting any of these on social media?"

"Do you think I should?"

"It's whatever you want to do," Kenny responded. "It's your social media and you're allowed to post whatever you want."

Jen scrolled through the photos. She would post one shot on social media. She was torn between a shot where she had her hands in her hair and looked seductively into the camera or her last pose with her hands on her hips and her lips pooched. "I don't know which one to choose from."

"I'm planning on stealing the picture where you have your hands in your hair looking all seductive," Kenny decided. His decision indirectly helped Jen make her decision.

"You just helped me make up my mind," Jen stated. "I'll post the shot on social media where my hands are on my hips and my lips are pooched out."

"Good choice."

"Thanks," Jen smiled. She got out her phone and took a picture of the shot she wanted to put on social media. She would just edit it later. She looked in the direction of the photographer. "Thank you so much for the fun photoshoot. I hope we can work together again." She and Kenny left the photoshoot area and they walked towards the dressing room so Kenny could retrieve his title and put on his black vest.

"You ready to accompany me to the ring?"

"Absolutely! I have missed walking out to the ring with you."

"I'm glad I'm able to compete again."

"I'm glad you're able to compete again too."

The couple made it to the dressing room and Kenny opened the door so Jen could walk in first. She watched as Kenny slipped on his black vest. After that, he grabbed the title. "Can you please wrap this title around my waist?"

"Of course." Kenny handed Jen his title and she wrapped the title around his waist. "There we go."

"I appreciate it."

"No problem."

"You ready to head out?"

"I'm ready if you are." Jen took that as their cue to head out when Kenny opened the dressing room door. She walked out in front of him and they walked side by side to the production area. The plan was to keep on her current outfit, but she was starting to have doubts. "This outfit doesn't make me look too provocative does it?"

Kenny looked over at Jen, his eyebrows furrowed. "I don't think so."

She was thinking her doubts were coming from the fact that she had a boyfriend now and she didn't want to feel like she was dressing provocative and trying to gain attention from other guys. She knew she was in her own head. "I'm just over analyzing."

"What's wrong?"

"I've worn less clothes than this to the ring... from crop tops and tight pants to the tight Jill Valentine catsuit; I just feel like I should dress more conservatively to respect you."

"Why would think that?" Kenny inquired. "You can wear whatever you please, it's your body."

"I'm just overthinking."

"I never found anything wrong with how you dress."

"I appreciate that."

"Jen, listen to me-" They stopped for a moment and stared at each other. "-you're your own person. I am not going to tell you how things should be, how you should dress, or how you should act."

"I'm sorry, I'm still trying to get used to us being together and I don't want to mess anything up."

"Just be yourself, that's all I ask," Kenny pleaded. "I took a liking to you because of how you were before we got together and I want you to continue to act like the Jennifer Best I've come to grow very fond of."

"Got it," Jen smiled. They proceeded on their route to the production area. When they got there, they saw Jack Evans make his way through the tunnel. "I see we made it just in time."

"It appears that way." Kenny got some quick some warm-ups in before he was due to make his entrance. "Cue my entrance music," Kenny instructed. His theme music started playing and the Indianapolis, Indiana crowd positively reacted. He looked over at Jen. "Ready?"

"I'm ready."

They both appeared in onscreen character mode as they walked up the stairs into the right tunnel. Kenny made his way through the tunnel with Jennifer following behind. Whenever Kenny and Jen made their presence on the stage, the crowd welcomed them both with a ruckus ovation. There were people in the audience who were waiting majority of the night just to see Kenny Omega back in action since Full Gear.

The Best Bout Machine pointed to the skies and the pyrotechnics went off. Jennifer was standing beside him, her hands on her hips, and smile on her face. Instead of Jennifer following Kenny to the ring like she usually would, she walked alongside him this time. Kenny was slapping hands of fans sitting on the left side and Jennifer was slapping hands of the fans on the right side.

The two members of The Elite made conversation before Kenny went up the steps and entered the ring. He motioned for Jennifer to enter the ring with him and she did as instructed and joined Kenny in the ring. They both stood in the middle of the ring and did his bang taunt. Jack Evans stood on the outside and didn't look amused. Kenny made his way to the corner while Jennifer exited the ring. Kenny gave his belt to referee Aubrey Edwards. The announcements were now underway.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this contest is set for one fall with a sixty-minute time limit and it's for the AAA El Mega Campeonato!" Justin Roberts announced. "The referee is Aubrey Edwards." The crowd cheered for the female referee.

"-Introducing the challenger, from Parkland, Washington, weighing one hundred and seventy two pounds - JJJAAACKKK EEVVAANNSS!" The crowd jeered the challenger. Evans did a corkscrew flip to show off then got on the turnbuckle to antagonize the crowd.

"-and his opponent, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, weighing two hundred and fifteen pounds, he is El Mega Campeonato - KKKEEENNNYYYY OOOMMMEEEGGGAAAA!" The crowd cheered the champion. Omega stood in the middle of the ring and did his bang taunt again. Jennifer stood ringside and clapped for the champion.

The bell rang and it was time for Kenny Omega to wrestle for the first time since Full Gear November ninth. Jennifer, much like the audience, was ready to watch him wrestle again.
