Counter Stance:
"Put it back."
The brunette pouted, holding a brand name chip bag close to her chest.
Her short blonde didn't even look in her direction, continuing down the organic food section of the grocery store.
"Please! I promise I won't ask for anything else!"
Krista looked away from the discounted whole grain pasta box to her whimpering friend. "Sasha, you are the one who wants to eat healthy, and I know for a fact how much fat those hold."
Grabbing the pasta box, they were on sale after all and she would make sure to proportion it just right.
Sighing the brunette didn't add anything else, placing the bag down. Folding her arms across her chest pouting behind her friend.
"Now, what should I make for dinner..." Krista trailed off, looking over all the boxes of foods, thinking of their options. "What do you want Sasha?"
The pony-tailed brunette made a grumbling, indistinguishable noise.
Krista rolled her eyes at her child-like friend. Pushing the shopping cart further down the aisle.
"Look, you're a grown women, and able to make your own decisions, and really want that junk-food to break your diet, then go ahead and grab it." Sasha said nothing, continuing to trail along after the blonde.
Krista looked back at her friend, "How does a potato casserole sound?"
This got the brunettes attention.
"Now I will have to use soy bacon and Diya cheese, but I promise it you wont even be able to taste the difference." Krista gave her friend a small smile.
Sasha grinned back, hugging the shorter women from behind. "You are to good to me Goddess."
"Yeah-yeah, let's get these groceries done and dinner started then."
The two women continued on their way. However, Sasha had been dragged away multiple times by her blonde friend, from free samples to not starting cart races with children.
Krista was pulling a soy based fo meat out of the freezer compartment (Sasha just ranted on how ridiculous it even was to have such items in existence.) Noticing a women with black pigtail's, sporting terrible bruises, black eye, and a swollen left side of her face. Next to her stood a shorter blonde women, almost the same size of Krista herself.
"Hey, Sasha, isn't that the women Ymir fought?" The blonde asked pointing to the pair.
The brunette stopped her rant, following her friends gaze. Still feeling slightly awkward about what happened after the fight with her friend and the fighter.
"Woh, that must be her, checkout that damage...but maybe its her evil twin sister who fell down a flight of stairs." Sasha trying to joke it off.
Krista made her way over to the two women, the brunette following behind.
"Excuse me," The two looked at her "You wouldn't happen to be the boxer, Mina Carolina?"
The pig-tailed women went from shocked to sad. "That's me, guess you saw my great debut huh?" she said pointing to her face.
"Yes, you did very well though, I was rooting for you!" The blonde felt bad, since the reason for her cheering was because of the terribly dreamy, cocky other opponent. She mentally shunned herself for that remark about Ymir.
"Thanks, though I really had hoped to make it farther in the tournament."
The blonde smiled, "There is always a next time, I'm Krista Lenz by the way." Putting out her hand to shake, which Mina did with a smile.
"And I'm Sasha Blouse!" The brunette wrapped her hands around the both, shaking them vigorously. Then blinking towards the other blonde who was standing awkwardly to the side.
She wore a white hooded jacket and simple track pants, blonde hair in a loose bun, bangs parted down to the sides of her face. She was carrying a basket of different types of meats.
Mina and Krista made small talk, finding quiet a few things they had in common.
Sasha all the while was trying to rack her brain to figure out this women. Then it clicked.
"OH MY GOSH!" The brunette shouted, making everyone jump and look her way.
Pointing at the hooded blonde, Sasha flailed her other arm around.
"You're THE Crystal Lion, Annie Leonhart, the best female MMA fighter, like ever!" Continuing to squeal "I've seen all your matches, I have a poster of you in my closet, I am such a huge fan, oh man oh man, when you took down one of the other fighters managers in one leg sweep." Sasha continued on one breath, while Krista looked at her friend in surprise, the other two women looked impressed as well.
"Oh Jeez I had no idea you came state side, shouldn't you be getting ready to fight in the Brigade tournament this weekend? Are you flying out tonight? Can you show me how to do that leg sweep? Is that a brisket? I have to get an autograph? Think someone can tattoo it on m-" Krista shoved her hand over her friends mouth chuckling nervously.
"I'm sorry about her, she gets excited easily, Krista"
She got a slight nod, "No problem, Annie."
"So you are also a boxer?"
"Sort of. Was in Europe doing MMA, Entering in this state boxing tournament this year." Annie replied nonchalantly.
Sasha squealed from underneath her Krista's hand. Krista became confused at this MMA thing, but didn't voice it, noting to ask her friend later.
"This is the first I've heard of this boxing stuff, yesterday was the first match I have seen."
"Well way to make me feel worse" Mina commented, chuckling.
The blonde said, "No! You were amazing, Ymir is just...a cheap fighter."
Annie chuckled, but said nothing.
"Yeah, but your first fight is like, supposed to be amazing and inspiring, I know mine was." Mina said nostalgia clear on her features.
"It certainly was memorable..." Krista dryly laughed. "I just don't think violence is really for me."
Annie was already turned away from the group, ready to leave for the check out. Sasha pushed her friend's hand away trailing after the other blonde. Going as far to offer to carry the basket for her. Begging for a signature, but lacking a form of writing utensil.
"I don't think it's so bad." Krista looked over the woman's face, noting every discoloration and swell. "I'm sure Hitch would like you cheering her on." The pig-tailed women looked like she wouldn't give up on the matter, but noticed the blondes impatience with Sasha.
"Here, take my number if you change your mind." The women slipped a card into Krista's hand. "See you around Krista!"
She waved the two women off, holding back her brunette friend by the back of her shirt.
"They seemed nice." much more so then the, tall dark handso- Arrogant flirty fighter!
"I can't believe it..." The brunette sunk to the linoleum floor. "Why didn't I have a pen on me..." Tears started leaking from her brown irises. Krista sighed crouching down to her friend.
"How does taking a time out on this diet for a small bag of chips to share sound? Just for today?"
Sasha nodded her head. Standing up holding hands the two women went and back tracked a few isles and got the potato chips.
To be continued.
AN: Long time no see! Woh hope you haven't missed me to much. I am sorry this was a pretty long wait on a sub-par garbage chapter, and I am sorry. Soooo sooo sorry, you don't even know. Like I know shiz happens, but one thing is no matter what, this story will get finished. So hope people don't think I abandoned it, Can't stand reading stories and have them drop off the face of the Earth just like butts. I get it though we all humans so anywho. Hope everyone had a fun Easter and other spring holidays.(Also 4/20 hehe) I wish I got this done sooner I wanted to say something cleaver like, "May the eggs be ever in your favor!" But I am terrible. Also had a B-day and One year anniversary with my bf, which was pretty ordinary, He doesn't even like yumikri like whats up with that? I joked that our relationship could end since we don't share any OTP's, but hes a big goof. Again though Sorry, I love you for all sticking with me or newbes just clicking through(hey, how you doing *wink*), like oh man this story almost has 1000 views like I broke down, because that's beyond crazy.
Oh and I know my boxing and Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) And all that knowledge is pretty slim and research is mostly wikipedia and google. So if I get anything bunked up feel free to point it out by any means necessary.
Also I am a vegetarian and have been for about 4 years, and bf's a vegan so he is super picky about like all the food I make, he introduced me to a bunch of the fo meat and cheese food brands and some are really good, others taste like a swing set. So if you've tried soy bacon, its pretty gross stuff from my experience. Anyway...
Until next time!
