The meeting with JR went great. He explained everything to me very thoroughly and I didn't even have to read the contract since he read it for me. So everything was official now...I was a part of the World Wrestling Federation. I had to start coming to the shows in December. My family and friends couldn't believe that everything was happening so fast. I was only in ECW for four months and now, I was in the WWF. Matt was so happy that I would be working with him from now on. I eventually agreed to be his girlfriend. I always intended to say yes but I wanted to make him wait. Today, I had to meet with the WWF Creative Team so that they could discuss who they would like to pair me with and any storylines they wanted me to be a part of as well. Everyone had introduced themselves. I guess this was gonna be just like what they did at ECW because as soon as I sat down, they were whispering to each other.

"Who do you already know in the WWF, Miss. Dumas?" Some lady asked.

"Um...I know Papi Chulo and I know the Hardy Boyz."

"Vince just decided to give him another chance. Oh yeah, his name isn't Papi Chulo any more, it's Essa Rios."

"Essa Rios?" I asked.

"Yes. I think you might pair with him for awhile. We want him to get over with the fans since he can do so many high-flying moves, a valet might help."

"Wait a minute. Let me get something straight now. I don't wanna be just a valet. There's more to me than that. Y'all know that I can wrestle. I can do the moves that Papi...I mean, Essa does too."

They all stared at me. Then, they started smiling. I guess they were all thinking the same thing. They all huddled together, wrote some things on their note pads and sat back down

"Alright, Miss. Dumas. Here's the deal. You will accompany Essa Rios to the ring for about three months. In those three months, after Essa wins a match, you will copy whatever he did to win on his opponent. The people will love you. Essa will become known again and you will eventually be a very popular WWF Superstar. Sound good?"

"Yeah, I like that."

"Well, what can you do in the ring?"

"I can do a pretty good Hurricanrana. I'm good at doing Moonsaults and all that type of stuff. I think I'm a pretty good wrestler if I must say so myself. You name it, I can probably do it or I'll get my boyfriend and his brother to teach me."

"Boyfriend...Miss. Dumas?"

"Yes, Matt Hardy."

They all wrote down something on their note pads again. I tried to get a peek.

"What are you writing?"

"That's for us to know and for you to find out. So what would you like to do in the World Wrestling Federation?"

"I would love to wrestle the women. I don't really care about the Women's Championship but if I won it, I would be thankful. Oh yeah, I would really like to form some type of alliance with the Hardy Boyz."

"Oh, we know. When that happens, you'll be huge. People are just gonna absolutely love you. Trust me."

"Um...I'm a big fan of Terri Runnels. Chyna is awesome. I guess that's it."

"Would you ever consider wrestling Chyna or the men?"

"I'm not physically ready to wrestle them."

"Well, I can tell you now that you'll have some type of feud with Chyna in the future. We already discussed that before you got here."

"Alright. So everybody's gonna call me Amy in the ring?"

"Oh, no. From now on, your name is Lita."

I looked out of my window again. He still wasn't there. I rolled my eyes since I had already been through this shit with Matt before. Him & Jeff were supposed to come get me, we were gonna go to the airport and fly to Washington D.C. together, that was where the next Raw was scheduled. JR wanted me to start coming to the shows for the next few weeks so that I could used to the schedule. I muttered something to myself and went to play with Cody. I wouldn't see her for awhile. I had gotten Cody a few years ago. She was my baby. I remember when she was a baby, she was so cute. I guess that was why I bought her. I figured that I would call some of my old trainers and let them know what was going on with me as I was waiting for Matt and Jeff. I sat down on my bed. I motioned for Cody to sit beside me. First, I called one of my first trainers, Ricky Santana. Ricky was an awesome wrestler. When he first told me that he would teach me how to wrestle, I couldn't believe that he would take a chance on a first-timer but he had faith in me and for that, I truly admire and respect him. I dialed his number.

"Hello."

"Hey, Ricky! It's Amy."

"I'm tired of you pranksters calling my house!"

"No, Kevin. It's Amy, the red-headed white girl that you trained."

"......Amy? Is this really you?"

"Yeah, it's me!"

"Oh, my goodness. How are you doing, sweethart? You have really succeeded in your life!"

"Well, thank you! I'm doing just fine. How are you?"

"I'm alright. I've been watching you on ECW, girl. My son loves to look at your legs." Kevin laughed.

"I know, man. Everyone's always looking at my legs when I'm out there but you won't see on ECW no more."

"Why not?"

"'Cause I'm goin' to the WWF!"

"You can't be serious. For real?"

"Yeah and I owe it in part to you."

"This is just amazing. I am so proud of you. Wow. The World Wrestling Federation. You better take advantage of your time there. Stuff like that happens once in a lifetime."

I heard a car door outside.

"I know. It's a dream come true for me. Kevin, I would love to talk to you more. Believe me I would but I think I hear my boyfriend. He's taking me to the airport."

"Oh, alright. When are you gonna debut?"

"Well, I'll be accompaning this dude, Essa Rios, to the ring for awhile. He helped me a little bit too. My name is gonna be Lita."

"Cool! Well, I'll look for you. You take care and congratulations!"

"You too, Ricky. Thank you so much for everything. Bye."

"Bye-bye."

I hung up the phone and smiled to myself. I've come a long way and this is it. God only knows what's in store for me.

"HEY, LITA!" Someone yelled from outside.

I laughed, I knew it was Matt. I ran to my window, opened it and smiled at him.

"Yes?" I said all innocent.

"Ready to go?" Matt yelled.

"Been ready!"

I waved to Jeff who was sitting in the car writing his poetry. He smiled and waved back. I quicky shut the window. I grabbed my things, got Cody by the hand and walked out the door. I dropped Cody off at my neighbor's house and I was out the door.

**Janurary 18, 2000**

My eyes popped out of my head as the production manager read the card for tonight's Raw.

"Excuse me, what did you say?" I asked.

"I said, Essa Rios (with Lita) vs-"

I screamed my ass off and ran out of the room jumping up & down. Essa and me had been sittin' backstage getting fat every night. Finally, we had a match even though it was a dark match, I didn't care. I ran into the women's locker room and started crying. I looked into the mirror.

"Alright, Amy, tonight is the night. You gotta act professional." I said as I wiped the tears from my eyes.

I was overwhelmed by this opportunity I had been given. It still hadn't sunk in that I was in the WWF. Mostly everyone knew me but I still had to meet some of the wrestlers. Jeff and Matt were doing pretty well in the tag team division. I never missed their matches. The feud they had going with the Dudley Boyz was awesome. We used to be cool back in ECW. I couldn't wait until the Tag Team Table Match at Royal Rumble. I was such a huge fan of Terri Runnels! She added so much aura to the Matt & Jeff's matches. We got along great backstage too. She was such a sweethart too. I liked her as their valet. Tonight, I was gonna be a valet!

*******

They told me I had to wear red every night I went to the ring while I was with Essa. I was cool with that. I was given a red top and some tight pants to match. I had to tell Essa we had a match in Spanish since he still was learning how to speak English. He was the one that taught me how to speak Spanish when we first met back in Mexico as I was training down there. I walked to the titan tron with butterflies in my stomach. Dang, I felt like I was gonna throw up. I had never been behind the titan tron before. I started pacing and kept running my fingers through my hair.

"Where the hell is my boyfriend?!" I said out loud.

Essa and the referee looked at me like I was crazy. I turned around and came this close to crying but I saw Matt walking towards me. I ran over to him and jumped into his arms. He laughed. He always carried me around like I was a baby when I was nervous. I was so small compared to him so he could do that.

"What's wrong, honey?"

"I'm nervous." I laid my head on his shoulder as he walked over to the titan tron.

"Awwwww. Isn't that adorable? Amy, you gotta go out there and make your first impression. These fans gotta know that you're different from any other female here. You know you are. No one can prove me wrong." Matt kissed me on the cheek.

I jumped out of his arms.

"You're so sweet." I put my arms around him and kissed him.

We walked down the hallway and up the titan tron stairs. There was the curtain right in front of me. Essa was nervous too.

"Matt, listen to those people. They're not even gonna watch us. They came here to see people like you & Jeff, not us."

Matt kissed me on the forehead.

"Stop it. You're going out there and that's all there is to it. When you have someone as beautiful as you out there, trust me, they'll be watching you. Don't forget to do that moonsault. Tell Essa I said good luck. I'll be peeking out there from the curtain. Love you."

"You too." We hugged again.

I asked Essa was he ready. He said yeah. Matt patted us both on the back. The music started and now, I was no longer Amy, I was Lita.

**AFTER THE MATCH**

I walked back through the curtain. My stomach hurt a little from that moonsault but I was alright. Essa and me stopped when we saw everyone clapping for us. I looked at Essa. We walked down the stairs. Everybody told us good job for our first time. I was truly flattered by this. I told Essa what everyone had told me in Spanish and he smiled. Matt came from behind and wrapped his hands around my waist. He smelled my hair.

"What did I tell you? Everybody thought y'all were awesome. Just wait until you're on television, just wait." He kissed me on the cheek.

I waved to Essa as he walked back to the locker room. Matt looked at me up and down.

"Damn, you look good in red."

"Stop flirting with me, boy." I smiled.

I pushed him off of me and walked back to the women's locker room. We would talk later. Man! I think I did pretty good. I learned how to be a good valet in ECW. I walked into the locker room. All the ladies clapped for me again. I smiled and gave them a bow.

"Thank you, thank you."

"February." Joanie said.

"Huh?"

"February. I heard Stephanie talking to Vince and they said you are gonna debut on TV in February."

"Are you serious?"

Joanie nodded her head. I sighed and just walked to my bag. I couldn't believe everything that was happening today. Then again, this was only beginning. I was looking forward to what God had in store for me in the future.
