Lini and Agnes spent the afternoon at a baseball game, they had a great time, Agnes received a Miami player's cap and a baseball. Then they ate ice cream together, Agnes saw her mother's popularity, people saw Lini and went to ask her for an autograph.

When they arrive backstage, they are surprised that Lona and Taker are not there yet and even they weren't in their room, so Lini decided to go to the arena without them, they will join them anyway.

When they pass the curtain leading to the ring, Agnès lets go of her mother's hand to be in front, there are other children of other wrestlers who are in the ring. Lini shouted to be careful not to hurt herself at Agnes who ran before she greeted her colleagues.

Taker and Lona have just arrived at the arena, Taker grabs his bag before getting out of the car and walks over to his daughter to hold her hand and head backstage. Lona looked around, very impressed at what it looked like behind the curtains. TVs, boxes, wires everywhere, people who take care of technical things talk to each other. They walk towards the curtains to join the other wrestlers who are near the ring. Lona noticed that Lini and Agnès are already there, she stays close to her dad with her cuddly toy in her arms, biting the ear, not daring to enter inside the ring with the other children not wanting to disappoint her dad .

"Lona come on!" Said Agnès who is in the ring with other children running around being careful. Lona looks at her father who is chatting with his boss then lets go of his hand. She climbs the stairs slowly, clings to the post when she reaches the top, Lini has an eye on Agnès who is helping Lona to pass the ropes, she smiles at her daughter's gesture.

The children are sitting in the middle of the ring in a circle talking, laughing, they are all between 4 and 6 years old. Lona remained silent as she listened to the other children of her father's colleagues talking. "Your dad is Undertaker?" says Dewey Foley, Mick Foley's son was shocked to meet the daughter of the wrestler who knocked his dad off the top of the big cage last year.

"Yes it's my dad" Lona says innocently, the children are surprised and Wow, oh it's his daughter are heard by the children. "Is he killing people?", "is he mean?"... Lona is questioned by everyone, which increases her stress and her shyness by hiding behind her comforter.

Lini sees and hears what is happening, she decides to get in the ring and sits in the circle with the children. "let's go children, and if we play?" She said clapping her hands looking at the children smiling. The children calm down and listen to Lini for the game.

"Do you know the game of the rabbit and the hunter? the game consists, we are in a circle and one of us goes around the circle saying rabbit to each head but the one who is designated as the hunter, he must catch the rabbit who runs before sitting down, but be careful, the rabbit must run for 30 seconds before sitting down."

The children are motivated to play, they sit in a circle, Lini also gets involved and the most surprising thing is that Taker has decided to come and sit next to his daughter too. It's Cassidy, Austin's daughter, who begins to be the rabbit. She goes around the circle saying rabbit to everyone, doesn't know who to choose as a hunter, when suddenly she says hunter to Lona. Lona gets up and starts running after Cassidy, everyone encourages Lona to grab Cassidy. Cassidy manages to sit in place of Lona, Austin who was at ringside to speak with Dwayne, after seeing that his daughter was not taken.

"It's my daughter !" cried Austin, proud of his daughter. Cassidy sends a kiss to her dad, it's Lona's turn to go around the circle, she takes her time to choose who will be the hunter. She came up behind her daddy and said Hunter!. Taker slowly gets up as Lona runs away from the circle, Taker looks at his daughter, slowly walks towards her, not wanting to run as it would be too easy for him. Lona runs around the circle, through the circle before sitting down, everyone applauds Lona.

They played a few minutes before making the last rounds, it's Lini's turn who must choose the rabbit. She went around, a second round before picking Taker, she started running as fast as she could outside the ring. For a few minutes Taker tried to grab Lini, he decided to make up her mind. Lini looks behind her but no longer sees Taker, she stops running.

"Well, where is he?" She wondered looking around then the children yelled at Lini to be careful behind her but she didn't have time to run when Taker grabbed her from behind.

"No one can beat Undertaker! Come on! Enough playing, let's go backstage!" Said Taker to the children, without realizing that he still has Lini in his arms, who seems to be well in his arms. When he realized, he let go of Lini, ran his hand through his hair, wondering what could be happening to him for a while, then went backstage.

~!~

Minutes before the show starts, Agnes and Lona are gorilla by the curtains, watching the arena fill with fans. "Oh but look who are there Chyna?" Said Triple h to Chyna seeing Lona and Agnes near the curtains, the girls turn around and see their parents' rivals.

They pretend to prepare to fight against them, Agnes plays the game and will also pretend to fight against them, Lona stays behind, afraid of disappointing her father, does nothing. "Come on sweetie, don't worry." Chyna says to Lona who stays back with her comforter in her arms, Chyna goes to her and holds out her hand reassuring her that she won't hurt her. Lona takes her hand gently, she explains that they are not mean, it's just a role like in the movies.
