1 *Matt's view
"Where is that boy? He's been out for over 6 hours!" I yelled, scared and wishing Jeff would just come home. I didn't mean to yell at him. He was just off chasing yet another stupid dream! But if his dream of finding his best friend stupid, then ours, as children to be wrestlers must have been too.
"Matt, honey. Calm down…its okay. Jeff's a big boy. He can take care of himself." Amy said, giving me a massage. She leaned down and gave me a little kiss. "He's probably off thinking or worrying who his new on-screen 'girlfriend' is gonna be. Did you know Vince has scouts everywhere? Mexico, Japan, Ohio, Iowa, Canada, and even England."
"Yeah… I know. Vince wants this chic to be perfect and unique like Jeff. She's gonna be hard to find. Vince narrowed the list down to a few girls and he's having Shawn Michaels check them all out. Today, Shawn goes to see the last girl on the list and I think she's in Tokyo. Vince is letting Shawn do all the picking. I hope he chooses one that is level-headed."
"Yeah. Last thing we need is a stuck-up snot up our asses." Suddenly the front door opened and I jumped up.
"Jeff? Is that you?" I asked.
"Huh? Yeah. I'm gonna go to bed. I'm tired."
"Night, Jeff." Amy said. "I'm gonna go to bed too."
"Night Ames."
I got up and followed the two up the stairs. I stopped by Jeff's room where he was pulling of his shirt.
"Jeff?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry for yelling at you about Jacy."
"It's alright."
"What were you doing all night?"
"Sitting in the woods. I was doing some major thinking."
"About?"
"Jacy. My new on screen girl. Tokyo. When Vince will give me time off to go look for Jacelyn."
"Don't worry about it. Get some sleep, okay?"
"Yeah. Night Matt." Jeff said to me, flopping onto his bed. "Turn off the lights, will ya?" I reached over and flipped them off. Jeff turned on his radio and rolled over. I closed his door and headed to the room I was sharing with Amy.

2 *Akiko's View
I walked in the women's dressing room and left my stuff onto the floor and headed to my boss's office.
"Mr. Yamato?" I said, sticking my head in.
"Yes, Aki-kun?"
"Do I have a match tonight?"
"Yes, against Angel."
"Angel? I haven't fought her in awhile. Thank-you, Yamato-sama."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I left his room to search for Norina "Angel" Andiron. I found her sitting in a room, surrounded by the male wrestlers.
"Norina? Want to put our match together for later?"
"Sure thing, princess." She replied, getting up. She followed me back to the dressing room. Anthy handed me our outline for the match as we stepped through the door. We sat down to look through it.
"What time is it?"
"We still have about 2 ½ hours before the start of the show."
"Okay." I ripped open the envelope. "He didn't give us a lot of have- to's."
"Good. Hey, you win."
"Really?" I said, looking over her shoulder at it. "Wicked cool." We spent the next hour putting the match together.
"This is gonna be a great match. I'd love to stay and chat more, only I'm need in wardrobe. They finally finished that outfit that I wanted made. I'm wearing it later. What are you wearing?"
"It's a surprise. Never seen before. I just got it yesterday. It's very Eclipse-ish"
"Okay, well I'll see you in the ring." She said, leaving the room. I pulled out my outfit and changed. I stretched and warmed up for the match. Half an hour before the start of the show, I put my trench coat on and headed out to the audience. There I spotted Shawn Michaels.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Mr. Michaels? I'm Akiko, or 'Eclipse'. This is going to sound very unprofessional, but could I please have your autograph?" I asked him in my perfect English.
"Of course." He said, chuckling. "As long as you don't start jumping up and down, squealing."
"I would never do that. I'm not the squealing type. It actually annoys me."
"Ah, a girl after my heart."
"I'm sorry to cut this conversation short but I have to go warm-up for my match."
"Yes, you should. I'll be watching you."
"Thank-you. I am very honored to have you think my match is worthy enough to be viewed by a great man like yourself, Mr. Michaels."
"Don't call me that. Call me Shawn. And I am the honored one"
"Thank you, Shawn-sensei." I turned and went back stage.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"And now, introducing the next match, coming down the ring is Angel! Weighing in at 118 lbs. from London, England! And her opponent, weighing in at 121 lbs., from Tokyo, Eclipse!" I bounced down to the ring, with my music blaring in the speakers. "CLICK CLICK BOOM!" The lyrics went. I jumped into the ring and struck my ritual pose, with one hand above my head, palm up, 2-finger gun, and my other arm wrapped around my midsection. My legs together.
The match starts with Angel talking mess. I ignore her and turn my back to her; she gets mad and slaps me. From there the match explodes, kicks and punches are thrown. Angel is winning and goes to the top rope to hit her Solarsault, which is like a moonsault only with a twist. I move out of the way and she hits the mat. I hit her with a DDT and as she gets up afterwards, I hit her with a Star Flip. I cover her and win the match, 1-2- 3.
"And the winner, with a three-count, Eclipse!" The ring announcer said. I strike my pose again and leave the ring.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"That was a great show!" Rei said as we talked after the show. I had to stay along with the other wrestlers because Mr. Yamato said he needed to talk to us. It was getting really late. I yawned in reply to Rei.
"Where are the kids, Rei-chan?" Usagi asked.
"At home. I got Naru to watch them."
"How great! You should get out more often. Those kids just drain you of your energy." Mako exclaimed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey! Wrestlers!" Yamato-sensei yelled, stepping into the ring. "This is Mr. Shawn Michaels from the WWF. He has an announcement to make." Yamato said, pointing to the man next to him.
"As you all know, I'm from the WWF, and I am here scouting. I have seen wrestlers from all over the world, and I think I have found the perfect one here. First, I would like to tell you what all I was looking for in the wrestler I was searching for. First off, I was looking for a female wrestler, someone with extreme qualities. A good wrestler that won't require much training. Someone who can work the crowds. Someone who can wrestle along side with the Hardy Boyz and Lita." Those 4 words were enough to get all the wrestlers cheering. Shawn waited for everyone to be quiet and then he continued. "Like I was saying, I found the perfect girl here. So if you will, Tsukino Akiko, please come to the ring and accept these plane tickets to be flown in to se the head honcho himself. He will give you your contract and everything."
I just sat there stunned. I couldn't believe it, me, a WWF Diva!
"Where is that boy? He's been out for over 6 hours!" I yelled, scared and wishing Jeff would just come home. I didn't mean to yell at him. He was just off chasing yet another stupid dream! But if his dream of finding his best friend stupid, then ours, as children to be wrestlers must have been too.
