Sara Pettis | "The Hook" |


Tucson, Arizona, May 8th, 2008.

School is letting out at the University of Arizona. Students prepare to go home, or spend the next few months not having to worry about classes. Some plan on going on vacations for the Summer. And some are looking to get Summer jobs.

In her off-campus apartment, Sara Pettis is packing her things. She transfered to the University of Arizona at the beginning of the Spring semester. Sacramento State wasn't working out, mostly due to the fact that the school did little to ensure her privacy, often times even trying to use her celebrity status. But since coming to Tucson, things have been a lot more quiet. It's been months since she was last seen on t.v., and thankfully wrestling fans have extremely short memories. It seems like forever ago since she was the SFT Champion. It hasn't even been a year. And frankly, as of late, that itch has been coming back.

As she packs up her essentials, and gets ready to leave her home in Tucson, at least for the next few days. She considers what it would be like to return to the road again, if she was to return to the wrestling industry. But this trip she's planning has nothing to do with any of that. Its almost Mother's Day, a day which has double meaning for her this year. As coincidentally, this Mother's Day marks the 10th year since her Mother, SFT legend Ice, passed away. So this trip is taking her home, to Ozone Park, New York, so she can do what she has done every May 11th since she was nine years old. Visit her mother.

She still hasn't spoken to her step-father, her step-sister, or her little brothers in months. Knowing that she will be returning to Ozone Park, and not go to the home she grew up in weighs heavily on her, but she has come to accept it. She knows it isn't her fault, and deep down, that it wasn't anyone's fault. So acceptance is all there can be.

But back to the wrestling world. With Summer here, she finds herself with nothing but time, and following her trip home this weekend, she has to ask herself what it is she's going to do. No one has asked her to come back, so she wonders if she'd even be wanted. But it wouldn't hurt to ask.

The last time she was in SFT, there was someone who isn't around anymore, who was just caught up on her surname. No matter what she seemed to do, all they did was harp on the Pettis name. But this time, its not going to be about the name. It won't be about the past. It would be all about the future. Whats left to do? Doing it all over again, thats whats left to do. Everything she did before was for everyone that had come before her. But now, its all about doing it for herself.

As Sara walks over to her closet, to get things needed to be packed for her trip. She reaches on top of the shelf and moves some boxes around, and finds something in the back. She pulls it down, revealing a black velvet bag, tied with drawstrings. She looks at it for a second, and sets it down on the dresser next to the closet. She goes back to getting what she needed, a travel bag, before putting things back in their places before picking up the velvet bag again. She goes to put it back in the top of the closet, but stops. She looks at it again, long and hard, and decides to open the bag.

She slips the contents of the bag out. It's the custom made, SFT World Title she got after winning the Lethal Lottery. Its smaller then the original SFT Title, with silver plating, blue jewels, and a light pink strap. She had it made because even with the strap as tight as possible, the actual SFT was so huge that the belt would always slide off. Unfortunately, she lost the SFT Championship almost as quickly as she won it, and the belt hasn't seen the light of day until this point.

"Maybe someday...maybe someday soon I'll let you out again so people can see you." Sara says, talking to belt before sliding back into the bag.


So here we are. The Summer is here, and I find myself with all the time in the world it seems. And I have to be honest, lately I've been feeling that itch. I was a mess when I left in December. And wrestling wasn't helping me keep my head level. But after taking the time to get my life back in order, I feel like if I came back, I'd enjoy wrestling again.

I was planning on coming back to defend my Lethal Lottery win from last year. But I don't feel like waiting that long. And seeing some of the names that have come back from nowhere lately, like Rayn and Big T, I might as well jump back into action around now.

Speaking of Rayn, I was wondering if you'd be interested in having another go around, I don't think we've had the pleasure of having a match in a SFT ring yet. I know we fought a few times in the other organization, and for the CWF Title. I had fun then, and I kinda want to return against someone I had fun with before, its up to you though, I don't know what you have on your plate already.

But anyway, as I was saying, I'm back folks. Same name, same face, new attitude. And I hope to stick around, at least a little while.

End...
