This is the final part of the body swap arc, showing what happened after Jade's final kick to when Tori returns home.
Thanks for all the reviews, follows, and favorites. As well as the ideas from ScottyBGood, IlligitimatePrincess, and ROLF-Wolf-Of-Thunder. I kinda combined a few things you three left in your reviews for chapter 22. You'll see what I mean, I hope.
To IlligitmatePrincess, good eye, catching the slight hint I through in at the end about the fate of the bag.
I don't know what the championship belts look like in UFC, so I based the CFC Women's title belt on the WWE Women's championship belt before it was retired.

"Yes!" "Dangit!" Both girls cry out, eyes on the bag.
"Ha! Show me the belt, Marx." Jade says smugly, walking over to Shelby with a slight limp because of the pain in her leg from the kick, but ignoring it.
"Fine. I'll go grab it. Let your leg rest. I don't know what kind of damage you did to it with that last kick and I don't want you making the damage worse by walking around." Shelby says, pushing herself off her seat and walking towards the door leading back to the kitchen.
"I thought you'd be pissed." Jade says as Shelby gets to the door. "I thought you wanted me to tell Vega I liked her?" She asks, sitting on Shelby's seat, being gentle with her leg, the pain now coming in hard not that she's not using it.
"I do, but I think it'd be better if you told her in your own time, not because of a bet." Shelby says, walking into the kitchen. "Back in a minute." She calls over her shoulder.
"She wouldn't really make me tell Tori I like her, right?" Jade asks herself, staring at the bag lying on the ground.
A minute or so later, Shelby returns with the CFC Women's belt. "Careful with it, alright?" Shelby says, handing the belt to Jade once she makes her way over to the Goth.
Holding it, Jade is somewhat surprised by how weighty it is, guessing it to be around thirty pounds or so. The belt is a solid black leather with twelve buttons, six on top and six on the bottom, to keep it around the wearers waist if that's how they decide to wear it. It's about five inches wide ar the belt part, seven or eight inches where the front plate is. The front plate is gold with the words 'CFC Women's Champ' etched into it, and two smaller plates beside it with the CFC logo on them. Shelby had hers specially commissioned so it has her initials under the logo on the smaller plates, and her name, Shelby Elincia V. Marx, across the bottom of the front plate.
"What's the 'V' stand for?" Jade asks, placing the belt over her shoulder, smirking at how she looks in the mirror across from them in the garage, liking the way it looks.
"Vega." Shelby admits, finding Jade's entertainment in holding the title so amusing. "My full name is Shelby Elincia Vega Marx. I took the last name Marx to hide the secret, and I usually just tell people the 'V' stands for Veronica. First 'V' name that popped into my head." She says, trusting Jade.
"How much would a replica cost?" Jade asks, shifting the belt to her other shoulder, making a pose that Shelby finds amusing.
"Couple thousand or so. It won't be to the same detail as this, but enough for a fan I guess. Why? You want to be CFC Champ?" Shelby asks, laughing a bit.
"Could I get is specially ordered, like with my name and my own thing on the side, instead of the CFC logo? Or no?" Jade asks, ignoring Shelby's question.
"It'll cost a bit more, but yeah. That is an option. You might have to provide an image of what you want the logo or whatever to be, if it's not CFC based, like a fighter's personal logo or something." Shelby says, crossing her arms.
Before Jade can say anything, there's a knock at the front door, faintly heard by the two girls in the make shift gym.
"I got it. Take some pics, but make sure no one sees clearly that it's not a replica. Don't want people hounding you to get my autograph or something." Shelby says, walking to the door.
"Please. You don't have to worry about that." Jade says, grabbing her phone. "If anyone asks, I'll just threaten to disembowel them with my scissors." She says simply, taking a few selfies with her hand holding the title in a way that the side plates aren't seen, and the front plate is blocked partially by her hair.
"I am so glad I can knock you out, or I'd be worried about you." Shelby says as she heads into the kitchen. "Hello?" She says, opening the door, freezing when she sees who knocked on the door.
"Hey, Tori. You working out or something?" Beck asks, confused by how she's dressed.
"Uh, yeah. Just trying something new." Shelby says nervously as she shifts on her feet. "What are you doing here?" She asks, clearing her throat.
"Are you doing anything this weekend?" Beck asks, staring into her eyes.
"Uh, nothing's planned. Why?" Shelby asks, regretting it instantly, knowing what Beck is about to ask.
"Would you like to go out with me this Saturday? The Fair's in town and I thought it might be fun." Beck says, using his left hand to brush some hair out of his eyes.
"Uh, I don't see you like that. I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in you as anything more than a friend." Shelby says, using the knowledge she learned from Tori for her answer.
"Oh, uh, okay. That's understandable." Beck says, looking around nervously. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make this awkward or anything." He says quickly, laughing slightly out of nerves.
"It's fine." Shelby says, looking around, hoping Jade isn't watching them.
"Why is Jade's bag here?" Beck asks after a minute or so of uncomfortable silence.
"Uh, she wanted to help me with my acting, remember?" Shelby says, remembering what Jade said earlier.
"Where is she?" Beck asks casually, not judging.
"Vega!" Jade yells, walking into the kitchen from the garage. "You told me you were just going to see who it was, not make small talk. Get your ass back in here so I can try to make you a better actor so you don't humiliate me!" She yells, eying Shelby and Beck cautiously before going back into the garage.
"I should go before she uses her scissors." Beck says, eyes slightly wide at the yell from his ex. "See you tomorrow, and sorry again if I just made things awkward between us." He says with a nod and a wave, heading back to his truck.
"See ya." Shelby says, closing the door when Beck pulls away. "Now I have to fill Tori in when she gets home so she's not confused." She says to herself as she walks to the garage.
"What'd Beck want?" Jade asks when Shelby closes the garage door behind her, the title now around her waist, staring at her reflection.
"He just wanted to, you know, ask me, er Tori, out for this weekend." Shelby says, picking up the bag and hanging it back up, adjusting it so it's on fully.
"He what?" Jade asks, turning around quickly to glare at the fighter.
"I know. Who asks out another girl the same day they break up with their now ex?" Shelby asks, staring a small routine against the bag, moving at a speed that Jade is impressed by.
"What'd you say?" Jade asks, walking over to Shelby, the belt shaking a bit on her waist.
"I told him no, that 'I' only see him as a friend, nothing more. Something I know Tori would've said." Shelby says, adjusting her pose to strike the bag with her elbow. "Why?" Shelby asks, giving the bag a few quick elbow strikes.
"Nothing." Jade says, taking the belt off and placing it on the small table set up in the garage. "How'd he react to you saying no?" She asks, watching Shelby strike the bag.
"He took it pretty well. Said he hopes things aren't going to be awkward, and left." Shelby says, shrugging her shoulders. "Thanks for coming in when you did. I was afraid it wouldn't gotten more awkward than it already was." She says, giving the bag a kick that would've been to the gut if it was a person, not a bag.
"Yeah well. I recognized his voice, and I didn't want him alone with 'Tori'." Jade says, rubbing her calf.
"Since I'm going to be in town for a few months or so, since I don't have anything planned other than training, want me to train you so you don't hurt yourself as much if you ever get into a fight?" Shelby asks, taking a break to drink from her water bottle.
"Why would I get into a fight?" Jade asks, moving her gaze away from the small drop of sweat Shelby somehow received as it drips down between her cleavage.
"Someone tries anything on Tori or Cat." Shelby says simply. "And I'm not around." She throws in with a shrug.
"How much will it cost, and what's in it for you?" Jade asks, eying the fighter.
"I'll do it for free, you just won't have a whole lot a free time because of it. And what's in it for me is a secret." Shelby says, hiding her smirk. 'Maybe you spending so much time with me while we get all sweaty will make Tori jealous and try to get Jade to spend more time with her instead of me, the two eventually admitting how much they want to eat each other out and start dating.' She thinks to herself. "Come on. Let's start." She says after putting her water bottle down.
The two spend the next couple of hours going over ways for Jade to strike without hurting herself by either hitting with the wrong angle or not using the proper form with her stances.
"Is it okay if I shower? I don't want to drive home and risk someone seeing me sweat. Again." Jade says, grabbing one of the towels Shelby grabbed earlier to wipe the sweat off her forehead and face.
"Sure. You need a change of clothes?" Shelby asks, tossing her now empty water bottle, one of the metal ones to be used again and again, in the sink to rinse it out.
"Uh, my tits are bigger than yours, and so are my hips." Jade points out as they head to where they left their bags.
"I do have larger shirts than what I wear. Mainly from my trainer Juan when I get too sweaty after a work out and didn't bring anything to change into, and he lets me wear one of his extra shirts." Shelby says, picking up her stuff.
"Uh, and that doesn't seem weird to you?" Jade asks, staring at the fighter.
"He's happily married to a woman who's a sniper in the Marines." Shelby points out with a smirk.
"Yeah, you'd have to be stupid to cheat on a woman who can shoot you from a great distance, huh?" Jade asks, nodding in agreement.
"Yep. You'll have to go braless, but here's a pair of jeans, a shirt, and a pair of panties to change into. Don't worry about giving me back the panties." Shelby says, after leading Jade to her room and taking the items out of her closet and tossing them to Jade. "What's with that face?" She asks the Goth, keeping to herself that the panties are actually a pair of Tori's that she borrowed and hasn't given back yet, even though they're washed and have been for a couple days already.
"I hate that word." Jade says, holding the red satiny pair of underwear, a thong, in her hand like it's a scorpion trying to attack her.
"What word?" Shelby asks, confused.
"The 'P' word." Jade says, heading to the bathroom to shower and change.
"What 'P' word?" Shelby calls after her, staring at the door when there's no answer.
About a half hour later, Jade walks out in the clothes Shelby lent her, the shirt tied in a not at her stomach so it's not so loose around her, and heads into Shelby's room. "I'm gonna go. Thanks for everything." Jade says, mumbling the last part.
"Okay. Call me when you're ready to start training. I put my number in your phone. It's under 'SEVM', my initials." Shelby says, her hair now straightened again.
"See ya." Jade says, walking away.
"Wait!" Shelby calls after her, quickly catching the Goth before she leaves the house.
"What?" Jade asks, staring at the fighter.
"What 'P' word?" Shelby asks again, that unanswered question bugging her.
"Ask Tori." Jade says, leaving.
As she leaves, she sees a car pulling up and stopping, Tori climbing out as Jade passes by.
A minute later, in her room, Tori turns to her door when it opens, revealing her twin sister. "What's up?" Tori asks, grimacing slightly at how tired her muscles are from overuse.
"Two things. One: Take a hot shower and relax, you'll be better in the morning. And two: What 'P' word does Jade hate?" Shelby asks, walking over to her twin and massaging her shoulders for her.
Tori doesn't answer. All she does is simply laugh at the question. The next morning, while the three Vega sisters and their parents are eating breakfast, Shelby's eyes widen and she blurts out the 'P' word she said before noticing the Goth's slight glare the night before.
"Panties!" She calls out, making Tori and Trina laugh and their parents simply stare at her.
Hope the ending made you laugh. I thought it'd be a good way to end the chapter.
Random fact, since I mentioned the WWE Women's Championship. It was retired and combined with the Diva's Championship because it was the oldest title in professional wrestling, at least in the WWE and the companies bought by the WWE, and there weren't as many Women wrestlers vying for the title. Instead of having two titles, the combined them into the Diva's Championship after having both titles out for a while.
That's what I was told, anyway.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to reading your reviews. Any spelling mistakes are mine.
Blessed Be.
