A/N: Hey guys! This is a new story. This idea popped into my head and I had to get it down. Not sure where this is going yet, so all ideas are welcomed. But I'm sure it is going somewhere. Let me know what you think.

Chapter 1: Cherry Bomb!
.
"Give me the damn map!"
"You can't read a map and drive at the same time and for the love of God SLOW DOWN you maniac!"
"Quit you're complaining, we're only doing 60."
"IN A 30MPH ZONE!"
"Calm down."
"I will not calm down, there is no way I am going to die due to your insane driving."
"Don't be so melodramatic. Look, there's the street. We're here now, you can breathe again."
.
A black Chevrolet Equinox pulled into the driveway of a large white house. The passenger door flew open and a brunette male leapt out, dropping to his knees. "Solid ground!"
A red headed female then exited the driver's side of the vehicle, slamming the door and rolling her eyes at the man on the ground. "Oh you big baby. Get your ass up."
.
The front door then opened revealing an older man. He smiled as he walked down the porch steps towards the two people who had just arrived.
.
"So you found the new house Ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, we would have gotten here a lot sooner had your son been blessed with the ability to read a map." The red head replied.
"Ted, boy what are you doing? Get up off the ground, the neighbours will be thinking you're insane." The elder man chuckled.
"Sorry dad." Ted replied as he stood up. "But she is a hazard behind the wheel. I swear, there were about five times when I was sure we were going to die."
"You always exaggerate. It was not that bad."
"Really? Then why are my fingernails still embedded in your dashboard?"
"Oh, I dunno Grandpa. It's not my fault you drive at 3mph." The red head shot back.
"You are a menace. They should take away your licence!"
"TJ, it's nearly 7pm, don't you want to get your pipe and slippers? I think 'Murder, She Wrote' is about to start."
.
"The pair of you knock it off please." The older man interrupted. The fighting pair stopped their bickering and turned towards him, mumbling a 'sorry'.
"Good, now let's go inside before you two get arrested for disturbing the peace."
.
The three of them entered the large six bedroom house.
.
"Well ain't I gonna get a hug hello from either of you?" Ted Snr. asked.
Ted stepped forward first, embracing his father before walking into the kitchen.
"I'm so glad you could make it down for the weekend. Lord only knows I don't get to see either of you that often any more." Ted Snr. Said as he hugged the red head.
"I know, life's kind of hectic at the moment. But neither of us would have missed it for the world."
"That's my girl. Now why don't you run out to the kitchen and say hello to your mother. I'm going to go pick up Brett."
"Sure thing dad." The red head smiled as she walked toward the kitchen door.
"Oh, and Scarlett.."
"Yes dad."
"Try not to kill your brother while I'm gone." He chuckled.
"I'll try but I can't make any promises." She smiled exiting the hallway.

Scarlett DiBiase, at twenty one years old is the youngest child of Ted Snr. and Joy DiBiase. With her bright blue eyes and dazzling smile you can tell she is a DiBiase, the only difference is her dyed flame coloured hair. She got the wrestling bug at an early age and like her father and brother's before her, she too has decided to follow in her family's footsteps and live a life in the squared circle. She had signed with the WWE three years previously when she was eighteen and after spending two years in one of their developmental territories, she was finally called up to Raw last year. Since then she had been travelling more and more with the company, and spending time trying to improve her in ring ability.
She loved life on the road, this was the life for her, the only draw back – working with her brother non stop. They were close, Ted being protective of his baby sister which annoyed Scarlett, although deep down she secretly appreciated it. But like all siblings who spend too much time together, they fought – a lot. Particularly when it involved Scarlett's love life. That was where Ted's over protectiveness irked Scarlett. He was suspicious of any guy who wanted to be friends with her, even his own friends and was extremely rude to any one she dated.
.
.
"Scarlett, baby girl, give your mama a cuddle!" Joy DiBiase gushed as she hugged her only daughter. It had been a good few months since she had last seen her, they were very close and she missed the red head deeply now she didn't live at home any more.
.
.
Ted, Joy and Scarlett sat at the kitchen table drinking home made lemonade. The children filling their mother in on everything that had been happening with their lives in the past few months. Ted and his sister had been on the road with the WWE, travelling all over the country and performing to thousands of people. This was the first time they had been able to join their family for a weekend BBQ.
.
The front door opened and in walked Brett and Ted Snr. After everyone greeted each other, Joy informed everyone that they would be going out for dinner that night and they all needed to get showered and dressed for the occasion. Upon being informed of their dinner plans, everyone headed to their rooms to get freshened up.
Scarlett dragged her suitcase up the stairs and followed the directions her father had given her to her new bedroom. After she had left home, her parents had decided that they didn't need such a big house any more. After all, their children had grown and flew the nest, so they had down graded from a eight bedroom mansion type house to this six bedroom town house located in a quiet gated community.
.
Entering the large bedroom, Scarlett threw herself onto the king size bed and kicked off her shoes. She looked around the room, it was painted a neutral crème colour but the wall behind the bed was wallpapered, the background black with deep red roses on it. Her parents had certainly designed this room with her in mind. Although after the all over black and red theme she had in her last bedroom, she wasn't surprised at how subtle they had gone this time. She stretched with a yawn before dragging herself up off the bed and into the shower.
.
.
Dinner went by smoothly. It was rather quiet as Joy had banned any 'business' talk after Ted and Brett had gotten into an argument. So the evening was filled with Brett and Ted sulking, Ted Snr. and Joy asking boring question after question and Scarlett remaining mostly silent while she was staring off into space daydreaming.
.
After arriving back at the house, the boys retreated to the den to watch sports while Joy went upstairs. Scarlett too decided to head to her room and get changed for bed. Travelling with Ted all day had taken it's toll on her, he seemed to have the ability to grate on her nerves but then again they were siblings.
She changed out of her dress and slipped into a pair of shorts and a tank top before crawling into bed. She lifted her phone, checking her messages and dialled the number she knew off by heart.
.
"Hello?" Came the voice at the other end of the receiver.
"Hey."
"Hey, Cherry Bomb. You survived the car ride with Ted then?"
"Yeah, just barely mind you. I swear there is something wrong with that boy. Hows thing's your end?"
"Boring. Work and gym, the usual. It's not the same without you." He replied
"Aww, I miss you too."
"I never said I missed you, I just have no one to annoy."
"Well fuck you then. I take it back. I can't even remember your name." Scarlett smirked
"Ah don't be like that, you know I was kidding. Of course I miss you."
"Good. Remember I'm the only one stupid enough to put up with your crap."
"Yeah and I'm the only one who can sit through your driving."
"Touché!" She laughed.
.
"So when do you get back from visiting the parents?" He asked as he sprawled out on his bed.
"I fly out Sunday morning, so I should be in Atlanta by mid afternoon."
"Great, I can't wait to see you."
"Same here. Well, I'm going to sleep now, I'll need my energy for tomorrow. A DiBiase family function is always so tiring." She replied letting out a yawn.
"I'll bet. Goodnight. Love you Cherry Bomb."
"Love you too Punk." She replied, about to hang up.
"Scarlett?"
"Yeah?"
"What are you wearing?"
"Goodnight Phil." She said hanging up the phone with a smile on her face.
.
He could be a jackass sometimes, but then again that's why she loved him. She set her phone on the bedside table, turned out the lamp, closed her eyes and tried to fall into a peaceful sleep. Tomorrow would be an exhausting day.
.
Thanks for reading.
Firstly I didn't know Mrs DiBiase's name so I settled on naming her Joy. I'm pretty sure there will be a few other things that will not be entirely fact also, but I'm just going to go with it, after all this is a work of fiction. I hope you enjoyed my first chapter and any & all feedback is welcomed.
Thanks Roxxi =)
