Ultimate Muscle: Partnership
It was one week after Kid Muscle's victory over Kevin Mask and the world was still in a buzz over it. After waiting the IWF sat down with their champion and got his thoughts on his most recent victory.
So there was a big celebration for the event and anybody who was anybody was there. The Muscle League Legends, The McMadds, the New Generation of Muscle Leaguers, special friends and of course Kid Muscle himself. Along with them a large group of paparazzi showed up to film the event live.
So after the celebrating was done Kid Muscle stood behind a podium the McMadds on his left, his father and the Legends on his right. A strange feeling coming over him as all the cameras and eyes were on him, the lighting nearly blinding him. Looking out into the crowd he could see all his friends looking at him smiling and waving. Kid in turn felt much calmer up there and smiled and waved back.
"Kid Muscle, Kid Muscle." Called up the reporters as the all yelled over each other bidding for his attention.
"How do you feel about your accomplishment in this tournament?" asked one reporter.
"Geez." Said Kid Muscle as he scratched the back of his head." I guess it's a good feeling."
"How do you feel about Kevin Mask?" asked another. Kid turned and faced the reporter, or the reporter he thought to have asked the question.
"Well without a doubt." Kid replied almost instinctively." Kevin Mask is the strongest wrestler I've ever had to face and he put up a good fight."
"But of course he was no match for the prince of muscle planet." Said a reporter which caused everyone in the room to laugh.
Kid Muscle gave a sheepish smile and turned his head and looked back up, and when he did he saw something he didn't before. He looked past the reporters who raised their hands calling his name, and he looked past his friends smiling faces. Kid's eyes led him to the very back of the room, and there he saw a familiar sight.
It was Kevin Mask, dressed in his usual attire and a glass of champagne in his hands. A smile grew on Kid's face as he saw Kevin there. Kevin replied in turned by holding his glass up Kid, proposing a toast to him.
"Hey Kevin!" called Kid with an exaggerated wave of his arms as he leaned over the podium. Everyone then turned to see if Kevin was there, but when they turned around they saw nothing." Kevin?" said Kid quietly to himself." Where'd he go?"
Kevin had turned and walked out the exit putting his glass of champagne down on a counter nearby.
Then his attention was drawn to the sound of approaching footsteps coming. Not wanting to bump into anyone for an autograph or his thought on losing in the Chojin Crown Kevin quickly ducked behind a corner and stuck himself up against the wall.
He peered over to see Roxanne, Trixie, and Kiki walking up the hallway laughing amongst themselves. Kevin breathed a little easier glad it wasn't the paparazzi, only the muscle league's fan girls. But all the same he kept to the shadows.
"It was really amazing how Kid beat Kevin Mask." Spoke up Kiki. Kevin slowly peeked his head out a bit more to listen to their conversation.
"Those two really went all out." Added Trixie." I've never seen Kid or Kevin fight like that before."
"Yea but who cares about Kevin Mask." Said Roxanne. The three continued to walk along still laughing amongst themselves.
Kevin appeared from his hiding spot and watched the three disappear into the meeting room. He gaze shifted to the ground before looking back up at the three.
Kevin was a loner, this was a known fact. Then Kevin turned and continued walking off.
But the girls continued on into the main conference room. They entered and saw the large crowd of people all gathered around Kid Muscle. For once in his life he didn't look stupid, except for the goofy grin on his face but that could be understood at a time like this.
The girls continued to look around but were stuck at the back of the crowd, being totally overshadowed by the mob of people in front of them.
"This spot is no good." Said Roxanne." We'll never get to see anything." She poked her head up to try and catch and glimpse although she didn't really see anything.
"Let's try pushing our way through." Suggested Trixie.
"That won't do any good." Said Kiki." Why don't we just try and find another way around to the front." The girls continued to move around in the back to try and see what was going on.
But up at the front of the crowd just behind the reporters was Kid's friends.
"Look at him up there." Said Terry with a smile and his arms crossed." Hogging all the glory, the old dog."
"Let him enjoy himself Terry." Said Dik Dik." He earned it."
"I vust don't vope these glory goes to his head." Said Jeager." It's vard enough dealing with Kid already."
"Yea." Added Wally." Imagine what he'll be like when all this glory goes to his head."
"Me thinkist you thinkist too much gentlemen." Said Checkmate.
"Oh no." said Dik Dik as he turned his head over.
"Vhat is it?" asked Jeager turning back to him, as well as everyone else.
"Back there." Said Dik Dik." It's the girls."
"So?" asked Wally." What's the harm in that?"
"Do you know what Kid Muscle will do when he sees them?" asked Dik Dik as he violently shook Wally.
"I see what you're getting at." Said Checkmate.
"I'm starting to think vinning the Choujin Crown will bring about a new Kid Muscle boys." Said Jeager.
" This might end badly." Said Terry.
Kid looked out into the crowd and saw his friends taking amongst themselves and it seem frantic.
"So Kid Muscle." Said a reporter as Kid Muscle looked over at him." What are you going to do now that you're the Choujin Champion."
"Well I." began Kid as he scratched his head. But then his eyes began to wonder the crowd and there he saw Trixie, Kiki, and most importantly Roxanne." Roxanne." He whispered slightly, but with the microphone by his mouth it was magnified for everyone to hear. Everyone in the room looked around at each other confused.
"Say again?" asked the reporter. But Kid did not answer him and stepped down from his podium and made his way down into the crowd. Everyone moved out of his way and he made his way towards Roxanne.
As he approached his friends stepped back, making a circle and smiling around him. Then Kid stepped forward and stood before Roxanne. At that moment Trixie and Kiki stepped back and let the two stand alone in the center of the room.
"Roxanne." Said Kid nervously.
"Kid." She replied just as nervously as she stood before him." Um." She looked around and saw everyone was staring at them. All eyes, cameras, everything." Good job on your victory Kid."
"T-Thanks." Replied Kid." Roxanne." He continued after a few seconds of silence." There's something I've been meaning to ask you."
"Oh?" asked Roxanne her eyes flashing to the cameras around them." And what's that?"
"Will you please go out with me?" asked Kid. Some people in the room gasped, other's jaws dropped.
"Oh Kid don't do this to yourself." Said Roxanne." I don't want you to be embarrassed."
"I'm not embarrassed." Said Kid. "I'm speaking my mind and I'm speaking the truth." Everyone darted their eyes from Kid to Roxanne depending on whoever spoke." Everything I've ever done." Said Kid." I did for you, I won this." He said pointing to the Choujin Crown belt he had on his waist." So that you would hopefully realize that I wasn't a loser and you'd go out with me." Roxanne opened her mouth to reply but found her voice suddenly lost." Please?" asked Kid as he looked to her with a smile.
Roxanne looked around herself feeling the eyes of the whole world on her. She looked to her friends for support but they shrugged their shoulders at her. Looking back at Kid Muscle she could see his friends all several feet behind him, and further back was Kid's father with the other Legends, the McMadd's close by.
"Kid." Roxanne finally spoke." You didn't need to get all these championship belts and metals in order to impress me." She said as she stepped closer to him." All I'll ever really need is you." Then before Kid could reply she put her arms around him and kissed him. Kid took her in his arms and returned the kiss, suspending her in the air slightly.
Everyone around them began to clap and cheer. Kid's friends all stood by pumping their fists into the air.
"I take back what I said." Said Terry. Kiki jumped up and down clapping.
"You go Roxanne!" said Trixie as she pumped her fist in the air.
"That's my boy." Said King Muscle as he threw his fist into the air, while all his own friends stood around and smiled in approval.
The cameras flashed all around them as they caught the sight.
"Kid Muscle, Kid Muscle." Said the reporters as the crowded around him once more after he put Roxanne down and the two stood next to each other holding hands." Kid what will you do now that you have your girl?"
"I don't know." Replied Kid as he turned back and looked at Roxanne with a smile." People always do crazy things when they're in love." The cameras continued to flash and the picture of them together ended up on the cover of every magazine.
Down the road the world watched on as Kid Muscle and Roxanne's relationship began to grow over the years they were together.
Despite the world's guess that the first Muscle Leaguer to be married off would be Kid Muscle they guessed wrong. Not that it wasn't a bad guess as Kid and Roxanne were passionately together, but those that knew him well felt Kid too nervous to ask such a question or even have the sense to understand what he'd be asking.
But Checkmate's relationship and proposal to Kiki came completely out of the blue, and her answer of 'Yes' was even more unpredictable.
But all and all it was a good life, but nothing can last forever.
