Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better
"You told him his spin kick sucks?" Kyrstan asked as she laughed. "Are you crazy?"
"He wants to be an ass I'll treat him like one," Dallas said taking a sip of beer. "When he decides to play nice I will too."
"Gee, how mature," Kyrstan replied leaning back against the booth.
"How are things going with Jeff?" Dallas asked.
"Well I thought that he was going to be an asshole but he's not and he is a really good coach."
"Rub it in," Dallas said looking around the bar. "What do you want to do tonight?"
"Sleep, I'm so sore," Kyrstan said rubbing her thigh.
"Are you sure he trained you to wrestle?" Dallas asked.
"Well he taught me something called the vertical mumbo," Kyrstan said laughing.

"Before we start I wanna get one thing straight," AJ said. "I'm the teacher, you're the student."
"I'm not so sure about that," Dallas replied. "In some ways I'm the teacher but in other ways you're the teacher."
"No, you don't get it," AJ said. "I'm the teacher, you're the student, you do things right and we'll win, you mess up we lose."
"So you messed up against Christopher Daniels and that's why you lost the belt?" Dallas asked from her position in the middle of the ring. "Surely you can't blame that one on me, I wasn't even around yet."
"Do you even want this opportunity?" He asked her.
"Of course I do but the real question is, do you care enough about your job to do a good enough job training me?" She asked.
"Get up," AJ said.
"Oh, no answer?" Dallas asked as she got up.
"I don't have to answer to you," he said cracking his neck.
"Wow, how scary," Dallas said rolling her eyes. "I'm so intimidated."
"I better be getting a raise soon," AJ said growing tired of Dallas' attitude.
"What do you want to start on?" Dallas asked.

The two worked together for hours. However, most of the time was spent arguing about how a move should be executed or if a female should perform it differently. No matter how hard the other one tried the two just couldn't agree on anything.

"It's not wrong!" Dallas yelled.
"It'll never work," AJ said leaning against the top rope.
Dallas quickly crouched and took his legs out from under him.
"It works," she said standing over him.
As she started to walk away AJ got up and executed the move the way he preferred.
"That works too."
"I never said it didn't," she said kicking his knee in.
They continued to rough each other up for a while before he started getting a little aggressive for her liking. She quickly panicked and kicked the back of his head sending him to the mat.
"Are you okay?" She asked kneeling down beside him.
"I'm fine," he said jumping back up to his feet.
"You probably shouldn't be doing that," Dallas said grapping his elbow. "Sit down for a few seconds."
"I said I'm fine," he said rubbing his neck. "I'll see you on Saturday."

Dallas spent most of her free time sitting on the balcony of her hotel room reading or just watching the people. Everyone always seemed so happy except for her. She felt that she was doomed to spend the rest of eternity alone. She really didn't fit in with anyone. Sure she was into wrestling and kickboxing but she wasn't a tomboy and she wasn't a brainless twit that just hung around the back.
She had spent years trying to make it with big name wrestling promotions, constantly surrounded by men and yet nothing, everyone thought of her as a friend, the one that anyone could talk to. Now she was in Orlando, a fresh start, but it wasn't so fresh. The girls were fun to hang out with but the men were interested in all of them and not her, the man she was paired with couldn't even stand to be around her for very long.

"Welcome to another episode of Impact here on Spike TV!" Mike Tenay yelled. "Tonight our main event features our new intergender division. The team of Matt Bentley and Traci Brooks against The Phenomenal AJ Styles and Dallas Kritzik. What a match that should be."
"You know Mike, I've been watching these teams train and let me tell you, most of these teams are getting along phenomenally except for ironically the team of The Phenomenal AJ Styles and Dallas."
"I guess we'll have to watch and find out Don," Mike said.

"I just don't see why it has to be your music and your everything," Dallas said as they sat in the back.
"Would you shut up and tried to get prepared for tonight?" AJ asked.
"I am prepared. I'm dressed, aren't I?" She asked.
"I meant mentally," he said wanting to pull all of his hair out.
"What the hell is there to prepare for?" Dallas asked. "We go out there, kick some ass, come back, go our separate ways and meet again in seven days."
"Leave me alone for a while," AJ said motioning for her to leave.
"I'll go when I damn well feel like it," she said.
"You had better hope to hell that I lay my hands on Matt first before you," he said trying to remain calm.
"Anyone ever tell you you should go to anger management?" Dallas asked.
"You're going to be in a home for disabled persons soon," AJ said smiling at her.
"How do women keep their hands off of you you sweet talker you," Dallas said leaning against the wall.
"Well the first step is that when you meet someone you're not forced to work with them!" He yelled.
"You're still getting paid, I don't see what your problem is," she replied.
"AJ, Dallas, you're up," the stage director said.
"It's about time," he said jumping down from the ledge he was sitting on.
The music came on and they walked out together. All was fine until the bell to start the match rang.
"Out," AJ said to her as Matt stayed in the ring and Traci left.
"Why is it that you think that I can't handle a man?" Dallas asked.
"Experience," AJ answered. "Out."
"No, you get out," Dallas said.
"Fine," he said and then looked at Matt. "Have fun, I know I'll be enjoying it."
"You're such a gentleman," Dallas said as AJ left the ring.
Right from the beginning Bentley had the lower hand. No matter how hard Dallas tried nothing she did worked.
"Help her out," Val said as she walked past AJ.
"Don't think so," AJ said as he watched Matt over power her.
"Stop being an ass and do it," Val hissed as she got the crowd into it.
AJ was going to help Dallas but she got up and gave a spinning kick right to Matt's head. She got to their corner of the ring and held her hand out for AJ. AJ just looked at her and shrugged. Dallas was shocked at his reaction so she decided to treat him the same way. She lifted her hand and backhanded him across the face. The crowd was quiet, they had no idea with as to what was going on. Finally the ref made the tag signal and AJ jumped into the ring.
AJ pretty much dominated when he got in because Matt was too tired to fight back or tag Traci. AJ hit the Spiral Tap from the top rope and pinned Matt.
"That wasn't so impressive," Dallas said hopping down from the apron, leaving AJ standing in the ring.
