Dear Diary~...

Diary Entry (READ ME)

Tonight's a special night, diary. After my loss to Lauren Fredericks last week, admittedly due to my own foolishness, I decided to request a rematch. It took a lot of complaining and begging on my part to get the time slot booked...I'll admit, I got ahead of myself by even asking, but fortunately, the higher-ups were feeling generous.

Or maybe they just thought I'd get thrown around the ring again, eugh-...

Regardless! After a lengthy two weeks' worth of waiting, I've finally got my rematch!!! This time, I'll show Lauren that I'm not some brown-haired broad who isn't fit for the ring. I've taken her advice to heart and now I'm coming back better than ever. Every loss is just a minor setback, after all!!! I'll prove that I'm more than capable to her and ALL the doubters. I've seen the social media posts...plenty of clips of me getting tossed around...my name being slandered as just another dumb little girl who can't contend with a so-called 'jobber' like Lauren. Honestly, the comments about me didn't upset me THAT much. It was more the comments that insulted Lauren that made me mad, believe it or not.

I may have lost to her, but I don't hate her. I'm a fan of hers! It was fun sharing the ring with her, even if I didn't win. At first, I felt awful about it, dwelling in self-pity that night after I left the ring. But the morning I woke up, I felt a fire inside me, something that motivated me to get out of bed and get right back in the gym, drilling myself twice as hard and setting the goal to get this rematch.

So here I am, diary, ready to go out there and make the most out of this second chance. I just hope Lauren doesn't take this the wrong way. The last thing I want to do is upset her by coming off as a brat, like our first match was a fluke or something. What I want out of this match is the opportunity to make up for how I lost. The first time around, I went into this fight like a total novice, and I paid the price for it by getting outclassed because I got caught up in all the flashiness.

But tonight's gonna be different, diary...just you wait.

Spoiler

"...Making her way to ring, hailing from Los Angeles, California...standing at 4'11 and weighing in at 105 lbs, the brightest star in the sky...the sweetest diva on the stage...the PRIMA DONNA DARLING...AMI...ANDERSON!!!"


Ami stepped out from behind the curtain, emerging to a mixed sea of applause and ambivalence from the crowd, a couple of snickers here and there, too...but it didn't deter the Prima Donna Darling as she marched down the aisle looking more confident than ever before. In the past two weeks, Ami had undergone some rigorous training. She pushed herself to move faster, hit harder, focus on her opponent, and avoid getting caught up in all the flair. While showboating and working the crowd were vital traits for a wrestler, it was more important to actually WIN the match than to lose yourself in all the fanfare and wind up the flashiest loser.

With that in mind, Ami wasn't wearing her typical gear. This time, she wore her leotard outfit, complete with wristbands and standard-issue kneepads and boots. She looked like she had just finished up a session at the gym, but her rather lackluster attire was evidence of her mindset on this match tonight. Focus on the wrestling, save all the flashy stuff for later. Her outfit still had a bit of pizzazz here and there, what with the glittery edges on her leotard, but her movements were sharp and focused as she entered the ring promptly, slipping through the ropes, moving toward her corner, and waiting for Lauren's arrival.

Truth be told, the girl was taking herself...and this loss...WAY too seriously. Most people wouldn't even see Lauren as a legitimate threat, but to Ami, she was. I mean, she had way more experience, was bigger, was stronger, and could easily bulldoze the young woman. Ami saw Lauren as a challenge...a rival of sorts. In her mind, she was still getting lost in the fanfare of it all, treating Lauren like this monumental challenge to overcome, whereas most other wrestlers wouldn't bat an eye at the older blonde. In a weird way, this 'mindset' Ami had demonstrated the level of respect she had for Lauren...going this far and making this much of a fuss to get a rematch with her, not because it'd be an easy win, but because it wouldn't be.

Spoiler

Lauren was in the back getting ready to face off against Ami again. Her last match vs. Ami was one of her only wins recently with the blonde having struggled to turn things around. It seemed like her and to a lesser extent Peggy were involved in release talks at least once per year. Still Lauren was keeping her focus and getting ready for a match she knew she had a real shot to win. She was going to do everything in her power to repeat the outcome of the first match she had against Ami.

The big blonde came out and waved to the crowd smiling as she walked down to the ring, throwing in a bicep flex and a bit of a sway in her strut to try to rile up the crowd. She heard a mixed reaction that was leaning far more to cheering which did make her feel better about her match. Lauren walked up the ring steps and stepped into the ring through the ropes looking ready for action as she bounced from foot to foot looking over at Ami. Lauren was not going to hold back and she knew that Ami despite being smaller could land some hard hits if she had to. Lauren would be ready.

When Lauren arrived, Ami felt her heart skip a beat. She was partially nervous but quickly shook those feelings off, instead replacing them with motivation, using her fear and anxieties to fuel her passion and steady herself. She hyped herself up with a bit of a self-directed pep talk while Lauren made her way toward the ring, and when she finally entered, the Prima Donna Darling was ready to face her. Ami smiled before walking up and addressing her opponent, coming chest-to-chest with Lauren before speaking. "It's nice to see you again." She said, bowing toward her older foe, demonstrating some respect for her since she not only bested Ami last time, but also because she was the brunette's elder...and Ami was also a pretty big fan of hers.

"You may have won the first time, Lauren, but I'm gonna show you that I'm more than capable of taking you head-on. I took your lesson to heart and now I'm back and better than ever." She said, seemingly making a fierce declaration toward the blonde woman.

"Don't take this personally, but I really wanted this rematch so I could prove myself...I think you're an amazing wrestler, Lauren! But I was disappointed by my performance last time. So tonight, I'm showing you and everyone else what I'm really made of. So gimme all you got, every last bit! I want people to leave here stunned and amazed at how amazing we BOTH are, so don't hold back!" She said, offering a hand to shake as a show of good sportsmanship...the young rookie was clearly fired up tonight, more so than before.

Lauren shook her head at Ami. "You aren't going to win tonight either." Lauren said with her hands on her hips. "I am just a joke to these people and in release talks again. I won't be embarassed and pushed closer to being off the roster. I am gonna slam you senseless again." Lauren said. She wasn't messing around and made it clear to Ami.

As soon as that bell rang Lauren ran at Ami, lowering her shoulder as she hoped to start things off by bulldozing Ami to the mat!

"UGH!!!" Ami grunted, getting tackled off the bat as Lauren stormed past her friendly yet spirited greeting, choosing to barrel through the petite Prima Donna instead. The brunette hit the canvas with a stiff landing, already gasping for air as the hit caught her by surprise. It seemed that Lauren had a lot to prove tonight herself. Very well...If that were the case, Ami wouldn't play around with the niceties and formalities. It was straight to business tonight, and the lightweight had no intention of being Lauren's ragdoll again. She'd quickly roll away before Lauren could grab her off the ground, making sure to get back up to her feet as soon as possible before getting her hands up, letting out a soft sigh before focusing again. "Alright, then-...BRING IT." She said, baiting Lauren to come forward. If the older wrestler rushed forward, Ami would try to duck down and trip her up with a Drop Toe Hold.

Lauren sent Ami crashing down once and then saw Ami pulling herself up. Lauren didn't need to be lured over, she was trying to keep up on Ami to prevent her from getting off the ground. However Lauren's bullish strategy entirely backfired on her. Lauren was going to swing for a big clothesline when Ami dropped and the big blonde felt her feet kicked out from underneath her sending her falling down onto her face! "UGH!" Lauren groaned as she rolled onto her back with her hands covering her face while she kicked the canvas a few times.

With Lauren down on the ground, Ami quickly maneuvered her way around to try and climb onto the woman's backside, transitioning from the Drop Toe Hold into an STF, aiming to keep her heavier foe locked in place so that she could wear her down with a tight submission hold. She knew Lauren wasn't going to tap, but that wasn't her aim. She just needed to slow Lauren down as much as possible.

Ami's focus going into this would be to target Lauren's core and her legs, the source of all those powerful slams. However, going after them right from the start wouldn't be wise, so the Prima Donna Darling would start by exhausting Lauren first. Considering their first match, Ami already knew that Lauren's stamina wasn't the greatest, so all she had to do was pick her spots carefully and wait. With that in mind, she wrenched back on Lauren's head, tightening the pressure of her hold a little more.

Lauren felt her head cranked back as she was locked in an STF! She kicked the mat and groaned as she was stuck, the pain quickly mounting! Lauren reached up and grabbed at Ami's grip and tried to pull her hands away from Lauren't chin to power her way out of the hold! "Ngh... let go! Let go!" Lauren screamed as she tried to power her way to freedom.

She was supposed to be squashing Ami... Ami had obviously gotten better. Lauren couldn't let herself be embarrassed by a woman half her size now. That embarrassment was helping fuel her power as she kept up on her attempt to use her strength to free herself from the hold!

Ami stretched Lauren as far as she could take her. It was an arduous task, kinda like what she imagined wrangling a bull was like. Lauren had so much fight in her, and it didn't help that Ami was half her size and two weight classes beneath her. Still, the Prima Donna persisted, not giving up even as she felt her grip beginning to loosen due to Lauren's resistance. Given the difference in both size and strength, Ami knew she couldn't hold Lauren down for long. Her primary mission with this was to buy herself as much time as possible, focusing on one goal at a time as she made Lauren struggle. When the blonde finally did show signs of breaking free, Ami released her, not wanting to remain close to what was essentially a poked bear. The last time she made the mistake of going for a power move on Lauren...but this time, she'd keep her distance and use her speed. She'd force Lauren to come to her...With that in mind, she waited for the blonde to stand back up before she made her next move.

Lauren got back up feeling the effects of the hold. She shooked her head and had her hands up, stomping her way over to Ami. Lauren was scowling and determined to try to get herself back on track.

She tried to swing her leg up as she got closer, looking to plant Ami in the chest with a big boot hoping that the impact would knock her down onto her back and allow Lauren to start taking the fight to her.

If this backfired though? Lauren was setting herself up for more embarrassment!
