Characters may differ heavily from their official portrayals as this is being written before much official characterization has been supplied by Nintendo.

Strong elements of RibMin (Ribbon Girl/Min Min), but it isn't the immediate focus of the story. Also some SpringJara (Spring Man/Ninjara), but much less present than RibMin.

No sexual content. Violence is only present in the same way violence is present in ARMS itself.

I also don't do much proof reading before posting, so apologies if there are spelling/grammatical issues anywhere!

Chapter One: Penultimate Punching

Ribbon Girls' padded and spongy glove swung toward Helix in a sharp curve, connecting against the side of his squishy face and sending him flying into the large glass tube behind him, shattering it into tiny pieces and launching the mysterious green gunk it had been holding all across the floor. And with that, the whistle sounded across the arena, and the crowd began to cheer.

"It's a clear win for Ribbon Girl tonight, folks!" Biff cheered. "This puts The Airess up to the finals coming up next week, don't miss it!"

The crowd began to chant her name as she waved her ARMS in the air happily, blowing kisses to all her adoring fans. "Thank youuuu!" She giggled.

Helix leant up and held his head. "Blulululululu?" Ribbon Girl extended a hand to him and helped him to his gooey feet, and they shook. Great game. Fair game. Good, clean fighting, as ARMS should be.

The crowd's cheers grew distant as the two headed back behind the scenes. Helix made a strange noise and held something of a thumbs-up out to Ribbon Girl before they parted ways, and she waved goodbye to him because that's the best she could figure he meant.

Now alone, she could take a moment to herself to relax. She closed the changing room door behind her and began whistling one of her songs as she changed into more civilian attire. She felt a sense of pride in herself - she'd come so far, and done so well. She was so in the zone that she barely had to try, it all just came to her naturally, like dancing to and old and nostalgic song.

Her phone buzzed and she got to her feet, heading for the back door of the stadium. It was quiet back here, with no one around except her and a young lady sat upon an old and quaint little car.

"Hey sweetie!" Ribbon Girl smiled, throwing her gym bag into the air.

Min Min swung an ARM up and snatched it quickly, before bringing it down and placing it through the window of her car and onto the back seat. "How'd it go?"

Ribbon Girl slide her eyebrows down and placed a hand on her hip, staring at Min Min with a smile. "You tell me."

"I didn't watch it!" Min Min smiled back. "I was busy. Had stuff to do."

Ribbon Girl didn't budge, still staring at her with a sly smile, silent.

"I didn't! I was serving ramen. The whole place was packed. Didn't get a chance to tune in."

More silence.

Finally, Min Min snorted and began to laugh heavily. "Okayyyy, yessss, fineeee, of course I watched it!" She swept her ramen-like hair away from her eyes. " And you were amazing. Obviously ."

Ribbon Girl giggled, leaning forward and kissing Min Min lightly. "You always pretend you were 'too busy' to watch it!"

"And you never believe me!"

"Yeah. Because you do it every week! " She wrapped her ARMS around Min Min and hugged her closely. "I really was good this time though, right? It felt like I was good."

Min Min returned the hug happily. "You were incredible! Your feet barely touched the ground, you were practically walking on air! If he hadn't backed you up against that bomb, you would have PERFECT'd him easily."

Ribbon Girl sighed unbotheredly. "Well, can't PERFECT 'em every time, they'd just ban me from the tournies~"

Min Min unlocked her car and opened the door for Ribbon Girl. "So, next week is the Final! You nervous?"

"Nah." She shrugged. "I've fought Master Mummy before, he's not as tough as he looks. Just gotta keep skippin' across the air like a ballerina." She sat herself down in the passenger seat. It was a little warm inside, but that's to be expected in the summer heat. "I guess it could go either way, really. But it's always a good clean fight with Mummy, I don't mind losing to him if I do."

"Well, you know I'll be watching with my eyes glued to the screen! …Unless I'm just suuuuper busy again~" She laughed at her own joke for the hundredth time as she sat herself down in the driver's seat. "But hey, that's next week. Any plans for the time in between…?"

"Mmmm… Just hanging out with my girlfriend, really." She smiled.

"Darn! I was gonna see if you wanted to catch a movie, or play some games, or maybe share some ramen…"

"Oh hush!" She giggled. "But a movie does sound good, hope you've got some good picks."

They exchanged another kiss and Min Min started up the car.
