Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!
"Cheers!" Reiko shouted, holing up a glass of cola.
"Cheers!" the rest of the Roses echoed, each holding up their soda of choice. The roses all began drinking with satisfied smiles on their faces.
"Feels good to have everyone here again, and not under Anesthesia's control." Aisha declared.
"Says the girl who got snapped out of the bitch's control last." Dixie prodded, earning a glare from Aisha and laughs from the rest of the table.
Aisha huffed, turning away from her rival and taking note of Sakura and Elena. "Didn't I meet you two at Battle Gears?" she asked.
"That's us." Sakura replied sheepishly. "I'm Sakura Hagiwara."
"Elena Miyazawa." Elena introduced, holding out her hand, which Aisha shook.
"Pleasure. Now I know you all want to ask questions about my time as Sista A, but as usual, I don't remember much of anything." Aisha declared.
"Yes, that does seem to be the trend, doesn't it?" Spencer asked, leaning back in her chair with a sigh.
"There is something." Noble declared, catching everyone's attention. "Someone she was talking to before I was sent out in that last match."
"Did you get a good look at them, Fujiko?" Reiko asked her sister.
Noble shook her head, and Sakura sighed. "I have a guess." She informed. "Let's hope I'm wrong." Reiko, Sakura, and Elena's phones pinged and each took them out. "Crap. I was right." Sakura groaned, seeing Elena against none other than Jacob. She smiled slightly as she turned to her best friend. "Kick his ass so I don't have to?" she requested.
"You got it, Sakura." Elena giggled. "Just make sure you beat Reiko."
"Count on it." Sakura replied with a grin, giving a playful glare to her opponent tomorrow. "Don't go easy on me, ya hear?" she joked.
"You either." Reiko replied seriously, holding her expression for all of two seconds before the table dissolved into giggles.
...
Elena sighed, glancing at her friend. "So, got any advice for taking Jacob out?" she asked.
"Check your email." Sakura replied casually, deep into her own research for her match tomorrow. Elena did as instructed, surprised when she found a video attachment. "Malcom videos everything in the ring." Sakura explained as Elena watched the video of Sakura's match with Jacob during the Dominion vs Berserk tournament. The two sat in silence for a bit before Sakura's phone rang. Picking it up, she said, "Hey Moe."
"H-hey Miss Sakura." Moe's voice came through, clearly nervous. "Can I ask some advice?"
"What's up?" Sakura asked, sitting up straight. "You sound pretty worried."
"Well... remember that Tiger Mask guy from Battle Gears?" Moe asked. When Sakura answered affirmatively, she continued, "Well, I'm against him tomorrow, and I honestly think it's a serious mismatch. Half of me wants to go through with it, but half of me wants to drop out and save myself a beating."
"Well, do you think you have a chance?" Sakura asked, "Even a tiny one?"
A pause. "Thousand to one." Moe replied after a moment. "You think I should try to beat the odds?"
"IF there's even the tiniest chance you can win, you just have to keep working at it. Besides, you're too fast for a big guy like Tiger to catch you." Sakura added, earning a laugh from the teen. "Kick his ass, Moe, and when I get back, you and I can have a match." she promised.
"Thanks Miss Sakura." Moe sighed.
"So..." Sakura cooed, "How are things with Malcom going? You enjoy your date?" She could feel the blush through the phone.
"Okay,thanks,gottago,bye." Moe replied just before the line went dead. Sakura laughed as she put her phone away.
"That girl is so obvious." Sakura giggled, turning to see a smirking Elena looking at her. "What?"
"Oh nothing." Elena replied, turning back to her video.
"Oh come on! What is it?" Sakura demanded. Her pleas fell on deaf ears though, as Elena just kept watching.
And done! Not a very long one I'll grant, but I'm going to be finishing up soon, so I best get to it. So what did you guys think? Good? Bad? leave a review with your thoughts and I'll see you all next week!
