Rough times and old friends~

Though the pain and stress on her body was bad enough, it seemed, settling up lose ties, was right on the mind of Jackpots. Making Yoko lightly fade into seeing the 'lucky charms', indeed, as the redhead would tap her hand slowly on the mats, signalling, that the pain of Jacky's moves had gotten to her. Sealing the tie with a one all score for them both...

Luckily, they were friends at that challenge.
"O ok OK! Jacky, you win...n no more, please..." Yoko would sound out, one eye shut cringing while the other was drooping to a close, exhausted, and a little thirsty from the workout of a fierce fight.

Hearing her friend's tapping and submission, Jackpot would immediately release Yoko from the hold so her legs would drop. She too felt worn out as she fell onto the side and rolled a little so she can breathe. "Are you alright, Yoko? I hope I didn't hurt you too much."

"Y you kidding? you got me good kid..." Yoko said while panting, letting herself flop down taking a breather, feeling Boota scuttle beside her, and give her cheek a big lick as it squeaked. Making her flinch, as she pulled a smile of reassurance, "that body of yours is getting stronger, keep up at it...and you'll be beating them off~" and that was quite true, Jackpot was even stronger, catching Yoko off guard like that so easily, made her wonder of how her training went while Yoko herself was busy with her job.

Jackpot blushed as she smiled back and said, "Gee, thanks, Yoko. I want to be better to get far in the league. Uhh, what does Boota think?" She looked to her furry friend to see how he approves.

Receiving licks front, right, and all over, Yoko blushed as the little critter noticed Jackpot, rubbing its butt over Yoko's face before clawing its way up Jacky's leg to her shoulder. "Pi Piwuuuuuuu!" it squeaked, nuzzling up to her cheek while Yoko eventually, and slowly, got back to her feet, feeling even rougher than before but a little happy, that the workout was tough for the most part.

"Such a charmer Boots~" she said seeing the two snuggle, smiling, as she dusted herself off from the mats.

Jackpot giggled when Boota climbed up to her cheek to nuzzle against it. "Aww, thank you, Boota." She would lightly hold him in her hand and kissed lovingly on his cheek to show her affection.

She also turned to Yoko and say, "Good match! What else do you want to do?"

Despite the little session of pain, and the thought of taking it easy from now on, Yoko had dinner in mind...nothing too big, or spicy, but something to sober the pain and exhaustion. Standing herself up, Yoko gave a stretch, before picking up her jacket to see the two, "say, how about we go to that new Sushi restaurant?" she said with a smile, happy with herself and her friends, Boota...Ashlen, and the strong bond they all shared. As friends, but fierce fighters at the end of the day...

(The End.)

Ashlen smiled as she nodded her head and said, "Alright, let's go." She went to pack up her things before heading off with her friends.

(NICE JOB!)
