A/N: When I went in to hiatus little over a week a go, I thought I was going to be out for some time . . . but damn it, I just couldn't do it. :P
I'm back already, with a brand new story and something completely different to my other work. I hope you all enjoy this, as I've loved writing as much as I've done so far. I think this one has great potential, and I can see it possibly being the best story I've written so far.
With that, unfortunately, I own nothing to do with the WWE what so ever. The characters who you do not recognize are the only ones which I own.
Enjoy, and don't forget to leave me reviews!
Chapter 1 – First Encounter
"Okay now Kayleigh, run along and play." The toddler's mother ushered as her tiny eyes looked up at her nervously.
The platinum blonde child was barely four years of age, yet she was already being made to begin nursery. At such a young age, she believed that she was way too small to start school. Why did she have to go somewhere new and strange to play when she could stay at home and do the same?
"No Mummy, I don't wanna." The young girl replied, shaking her head frantically as a small pout appeared on her face.
"Go on baby, it'll be fun." Her parent replied yet again as she pushed her forward for the second time.
"But I want to go home and play with my toys!" The girl cried.
"Sweetie, you know I can't take you home now, Mummy has to go to work. I promise you that you'll have fun and I'll be back in no time to pick you back up. I love you, princess." Her mother replied cheerfully before giving her a kiss on the cheek and walking away from her to have a quick talk with the teacher.
The bright blonde haired child turned away from her parent with the same, saddened look on her face as before. Holding her teddy bear tightly in her arms, she slowly scanned the room to see what there was to do. As her eyes reached a pile of building blocks, her glance suddenly stopped dead as she became interested with the small boy playing with them . His platinum blonde hair took her liking straight away so without further ado, she quickly skipped over to him with a now brighter expression on her pretty little face.
"Hi!" She greeted cheerfully as she reached beside him.
The small boy looked up at Kayleigh with a confused look as he raised his eyebrow slightly.
"Who are you?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.
"I'm Kayleigh, who are you?" She asked as she sat down beside him and picked up a close by building brick.
"I'm Ken. Wow, we have the same colour hair!" He grinned brightly.
"I know, cool huh?" The young girl giggled back.
"So Kiwi, you want to help me build a castle?" Ken asked as he picked up a small blue brick and placed it on top of what he'd already built.
"Kiwi?" Kayleigh asked.
"Yeah, that's what I'm going to call you." The young boy grinned.
"Okay . . Kennedy." She grinned as she thought up a nickname for him.
Ken simply replied with a cheesy grin before they fell into a comfortable silence as they finished off their masterpiece.
"Finished." The young boy smirked as they placed the last brick on the top. "All we need now is a knight to guard it . . " He thought as he rubbed his chin.
"I know, Mr. Snuggles can be the knight!" Kayleigh smiled as she sat her teddy bear down in front of the brick tower.
"Cool, that means our masterpiece is finished!" Ken grinned as they sat staring at it.
In a matter of minutes, both young children were already getting extremely bored of the silence so, Kayleigh decided to speak up.
"So, what are we going to do next?" The blonde girl asked as she looked around the room.
"How about . . wrestling?" Ken asked, thinking of the first thing that came into his head.
"Don't be silly, I'm not going to wrestle you, you're a boy!" Kayleigh replied, looking at Ken as if he were mad.
"I didn't mean I wanted to wrestle you, I just wanted to know if you watched it." Ken said, now sending the same look back towards the young girl.
"No, why would I watch wrestling?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Because it rocks! You'll have to come and watch it with me some time, I'm sure you'll like it." He grinned.
"You are?" Kayleigh asked, not quite sure why he thought a girl would enjoy something such as wrestling.
"Yeah, there's tons of guys that you'll like! Hulk Hogan, Jake the Snake Roberts, Andre The Giant . . " Ken began.
"Jake the Snake . . does he have a snake then?" She asked.
"He sure does, he brings it out in a bag with him and then puts it on the other wrestlers after he beats them." The blonde haired boy grinned.
"Wow, I wanna watch that!" The young girl added excitedly, suddenly realizing that maybe she would enjoy watching wrestling after all.
Three hours later, Kayleigh's Mum entered the nursery expecting her daughter to be stood waiting for her but, to her surprise, she was sat at the opposite side of the nursery with a small boy.
"Kayleigh, hey sweetie!" The young girl heard her Mum shout, causing her to pause their conversation that was still about wrestling and turn around to send a big grin to her parent.
"Sorry Kennedy, I have to go now, Mummy is here to pick me up." She told her new best friend as she stood up, making sure that she had her teddy.
"Okay Kiwi, I'll see you tomorrow. Don't forget to ask your Mum if you can come over one time and watch wrestling with me." He grinned and waved as the young girl began to walk off.
"I will, bye!" She waved before turning around and running over to her mother.
"Mummy!" She shouted happily as she jumped into her arms.
"Hey beautiful, did you have a nice time?" She asked her daughter as she picked her up in her arms.
"I sure did!" The blonde girl grinned.
"I see you made a friend." Her Mum replied as she nodded towards Ken. "What's his name?"
"Oh that's Ken but I call him Kennedy, he's really cool! He invited me over to his house one time to watch wrestling." She grinned widely.
"Oh he did, did he? We'll have to see about that!" Her mother laughed before placing her back down on the floor. "Come on then missus, let's get you home." She finished as she took hold of the girls hand and began to lead her out of the nursery.
Kayleigh took a quick glance back at Ken and waved one last time before leaving with her Mum. Nursery wasn't as bad as she thought it would be, not now that she had a new best friend, anyway.
