The Grey

Ace gulped, neither girl looking at each other. Ace thought had she had nearly been about to have a heart attack when Angel laughed at her, though she quickly explained it.


"...Yeah...yeah I do. Your the biggest inspiration I've ever had in my life...."

Angel shook her head again, but couldn't help smiling a little wider at Ace. She lifted an arm behind herself, and began to sheepishly rub at the back of her head.

"Geez, chica. I'm really not sure what to say here. I guess...that means a lot to me, to hear you say that. I've never really had someone tell me something like that before."

Ace, hoisting her autographed T-shirt over her shoulder, and adjusting her shiny title over the other, before holding her hand out to her idol, her blush now replaced with a friendly, confident, look.

"Meant every word. Good luck tonight Angel, from one champ to another. When we get back to Japan, we'll go out and have a toast to defending our belts, eh Champ?"

She said, hand still outstretched in a gesture of respect and friendship.

Angel stared down at Ace's hand for a moment, then with a wide grin, stretched out her own, meeting the gaze of her fellow champion as she clasped her hand tight.

"Sounds good to me, chica. Kick some ass out there tonight, alright?"

"Heh, damn right, you know it! Same to you champ!"

Ace replied, giving Angels hand a light squeeze and waving farewell before going out the door. Once outside, she took another look at her newly signed shirt, hugging it against her as she walked away, feeling confident for her match.

"Damn straight!" Angel replied back to Ace, releasing her hand and giving her a wave as the Entropy champ headed off and out of sight.

Angel shut her door afterwards, and heading back to her spot on the floor, lying back down, spreading her arms and legs out again. She needed to refocus on the night ahead of her now. She had a match to win.
