Sara Pettis | "The Future" |


I'm not going to bore you all with my life after that day. My life was for the most part normal. I continued to follow SFT, as the new names, and the old names, came and went. Will didn't return to SFT ever, he instead choose to just hop around the indies, and make a few appearances at legends shows. But nothing huge.

It wasn't until my Junior year in High School that I was faced with the question, what did I want to do with my life. In my heart I knew I wanted to do. I knew Will wold never support it though. But it really wasn't his choice to make. I wanted to be wrestler, like my mother, and my...fathers were. And the fact was, it was going to happen.

I went to RWA because I knew what would happen if I came to SFT right away. I wanted to start with the slate clean. I wanted to start as my own person. And the fact of the matter was, I was hoping to find the same feelings I had when I was growing up. RWA honestly has more of those names and faces I looked up then. But SFT has always been by goal. I knew I didn't want to start my career here though. But I knew when all was said and done, I want it to end here. People think my going to RWA to start my career was a slap to the face of SFT. Well, Shadow, Harold, everyone in SFT can take it as they want, but the truth is, I never thought of it that way. I went to RWA because I didn't think I would have to be in anyone's shadow there. I was, but only for a short while. I've already made a name for myself in that place, and I'm climbing up the ladder to the top of it. But my heart will always have a place for SFT.

SFT is my home, it raised me when I was little, and I would never do anything to hurt it. And I really don't think my being in RWA does that. I think I've made it quite clear that no matter what I want to be part of both organizations, and I can't see why thats a problem. As long as I continue to put my best effort into both, theres no reason either side should be upset with me.

What does the future hold for me? I don't know. I'm hoping the SFT World Title in the immediate future, the RWA Universal Title in the not so distant future, and a career, and a life I can look back on without regrets. So far, I don't have any regrets. For awhile I questioned why I became a wrestler, after I had just begun and Will threw me out. But now, I look around me, and know I made the right choice. I hope someday, down the road that maybe this divide between the two groups that I love will heel, and that everyone I love, from the past and the present, on both sides of the fence, can get along and work together in harmony. I know it's a lofty, if not naive idea. But its something I really and truthfully hope for, someday in the future...

Sara walks up the steps of the Schorg home. With the tape and pictures in her hand. She's been blindsided by the thought that AMP had really wanted Becky too know he was her father. She had always been under the impression that he only did what he had because Becky knew all a long, and that she had forced him to be a part of her life. Now she sees that if he had really not wanted to be part of it, he could've easily keep his mouth shut.

So much has been happening lately. It all races through Sara's mind. This new information puts her father in a completely new light, and makes her really question her step-father, and mother's motives for keeping AMP away. She walks into the family room, where her cousin Kotomi is sitting on the couch with Sara's step sister Jane. Jane is speaking Japanese to Kotomi, who replies in English.

"Uh...what are you two doing?" Sara asks them.

"Oh hey Sary....its part of my foreign language credit for school. I'm taking Japanese, and part of learning it is speaking it to someone else who speaks it, and have them reply in English. I've been doing it with dad for a few months, but I couldn't help trying it with someone who actually speaks Japanese as a first language." Jane says, before looking at Sara, "Whats wrong?"

Sara slumps down on the couch next to her step-sister. She takes the tape and drops it on the floor at her feet.

"Just that." Sara tells Jane, "And even more questions about things."

"Whats on the tape, Sara-chan?" Kotomi asks her cousin.

"I only watched the first part." Sara tells them, "Lets just call it my first appearance on Inferno."

Kotomi and Jane look at each other confused.

"I thought you didn't join SFT until three weeks ago...why is that on there?" Kotomi asks.

"Never mind...you guys won't understand. Wheres dad at?" Sara asks her step-sister.

"He left to go pick up Ricky and Chris, the Summer is over, so they're coming home from their jobs as camp councilors upstate before school starts." Jane tells her.

"Damn. I'll have to ask him when he gets back then...unless." Sara suddenly gets an idea.

She gets up from the couch, grabbing the tape off the floor, and almost runs for the front door. Jane and Kotomi are confused, and Jane follows Sara outside.

"Sary, where are you going?" Jane asks her.

"Back to CCWA for a minute. I have to ask someone there something." Sara tells them as she gets into the car...


Come on Havoc! I don't want to win the title this way! I don't want to walk into it, I've worked too hard, and come too far to do that! I've worked too hard since this Lethal Lottery Tournament for it too end without any kind of fight! I want to win the World Title because I deserve it, not because it was given to me! Please Havoc, please don't make me win this way.

I want to remember winning the title because I worked hard, and won fairly. But I guess I can't force you to do anything you don't want to do. All I can hope is that tomorrow, when the bell rings, something clicks in your mind that reminds you why you should care about this organization, and this title. I brought you to the finals, the least you could do is make it look like you want to be here.

SFT is in dire need of a reason to be proud of itself lately. I want this match to be one of those. So please Havoc, just do something, anything.


Sara pulls into the parking lot at CCWA&ICE, the wrestling academy Nathan Gust owns. She grabs the tape, and goes inside. As she does she passes many of her class mates, who have a look of confusion on their face as she passes them. She gets to the back of the training facility, and gets to the other side of the building....the Ice Cream Parlor. She finds the man she's looking for here, Dan Lloyd is sitting at a table, a ice cream cone in hand, happy as a clam in the sand. Sara walks over to the table.

"Dan, we need to talk." Sara tells him, dropping the tape on the table.

Dan is surprised at first, but smiles at Sara.

"I was expecting you to come back, but not so soon...whats on the tape?" Dan asks her.

"Friday Night Inferno, November 2nd....19."

"89..." Dan finishes the sentence. He picks the tape up and looks at it. "What a bloody pain in the arse that night was."

"You...you remember that date?" Sara asks, stunned.

"I bloody well should." Dan says, taking a lick of his ice cream, "I lost it all that night...because of AMP."

Sara rubs her forehead, even more confused now, "Wait...wait...I'm confused...what did you lose that night?"

"I said, I lost everything. If thats what you saw on that tape, you know what I mean." Dan tells her.

Sara looks at him, "No, I don't. Nothing seems to make sense anymore. Not since AMP came back. Please, explain Dan."

Dan sighs. He takes the ice cream cone in his hand, and sets it down on some napkins he had placed in the center of the table. He motions for Sara to sit down, and she does.

"I promised your mum I would never mention this. But you're forcing me too. And I think you do have a right to know." Dan tells her, "Sara, that night, you had no last name. Your mum had no idea who your father was, because there were so many possibilities." Dan tells her.

"But...I thought Mom had only been with Will since XCW opened?" Sara says shocked.

Dan just shakes his head no before continuing. "Sara, I love your mum, and I always will...but she got around. Especially in those days. She was quite the free spirit."

Sara's jaw hangs as she sits across from Dan. "What...what are you saying?"

Dan sighs. "Look, when your Mum found out she was pregnant, there were so many possible fathers, she couldn't afford to get a test. Justin Sane, Will Schorg, Kyle Murphy, Hellraiser...not me though...and the funny thing is, none of us even thought about AMP."

Sara just sits, slack jawed and confused, Dan continues, "The Monday after, we were going to get the name Lloyd added to your birth certificate. You were going to be my daughter. I was the only one who was willing to step to take care of you. I'll admit, I never took a romantic interest in your mum until after had been conceived, but I didn't care. I loved her so much, and when you were born, I loved you too. Then AMP come out that night, and said what he did. It ruined everything. We had you and him tested to make sure, it was a match. After that, your mum just sorta, lost interest in me."

Sara can't believe what Dan is telling her. She had no idea of any of it. Why should she? She looks at Dan, he sniffs his nose, and leans back in his seat. "I couldn't help but feel like your mother took advantage of me, using me while she was pregnant. And she was going to use me to help raise you because she had no idea who your real father was. I went nuts, I did things I'm not proud of. And I'm going to leave it at that." Dan tells her.

Sara just sits stunned. Having never known any of this prior to this moment. Dan picks up his ice cream cone, which is almost completely melted, and takes it over to a trash can to throw away. He walks back over to the table and puts his hand on Sara's shoulder. "I'm sorry I had to be the one too tell you. You mum was a great person though. After you were born she made a complete change. So don't think bad about her because of this, or of Will. Don't go thinking AMP has any love for you either. He doesn't, it was more about breaking mine and your mother's hearts then caring about you. You're a great person Sara, it'd be a shame if you got mixed up with the likes of that arsehole."

With that, Dan walks away from Sara, leaving her to sit and wonder about what she should do next, in regards to Andrew Pettis, and Will Schorg...
