Dana's Difficulties, the Struggles of a Streamer's Assistant

[KaylieKO]

When Kieda answered the door, Kaylie was quick to judge her. She put on a smile that was contrary to how she really felt. She didn't like Kieda. She decided that almost right away.

"Oh of course. I love having Dana around." Kaylie let herself in. "Sorry I'm so late, I like, was so incredibly busy. You wouldn't even believe." She lied. She had other stuff she was doing, but nothing she could have put off for this meeting.

Dana couldn't help but feel a little bit awkward when Kaylie walked in. She always liked being around Kaylie, but she couldn't help but feel bad now. Kaylie sent her here to talk business with Kieda, and so far they haven't really done much of that at all. The whole point was to get a collab set up between the two wrestlers, and Dana's pretty sure they haven't even really touched on that subject yet. Kaylie had her fake smile on that she used for the cameras and people she didn't like. Was that smile for Kieda? It'd make sense to Dana. After all, Kaylie didn't like that many people. Maybe that smile was just for the whole situation since Kaylie didn't really want to be here in the first place. That's when Dana's anxiety gave her a terrible thought. Was that smile... for her? She failed Kaylie at getting this set up as quickly as she should have. Kaylie was probably so annoyed at her. She probably hated her now. Oh what was Dana going to do if Kaylie hates her. Kaylie's her best friend and biggest crush in the world, and Dana doesn't want that to blow up horribly. Dana tried to keep her cool, and not look visibly anxious as she was.

"Dana's never really been the talking type though." Kaylie said, winking at Dana, "So I'll do the talking from here."

*Even though Kieda was a gracious host through and through, there was an ineffably nagging feeling that she just couldn't shake in regards to Kaylie- Perhaps it was her pretentious aura that effortlessly radiated off of her, or maybe it was just Kieda's personal intuition kicking in, but something seemed off. Whatever the case may be, she nodded in agreement with the bubbly blonde's explanation for her tardiness.* "Oh, believe me, you're completely justified in being slightly late. I'm fully aware of how preoccupied someone as important as yourself must be on a daily basis."*Deciding to eat out of the palm of the insufferable female's hands for now by tossing a casual compliment her way, Kieda glanced in Dana's direction and instantly recognized what her pantomime conveyed- Misery. It seemed as though she was experiencing emotional whiplash, from pleasant and affable while they were chattering, now to forlorn and morose just by Kaylie's mere presence alone.* "Hmm..." *The Azure Silhouette pondered on what her next move should be, believing this was a cerebral chess match with her unwanted guest.*

*Then, just when Kieda thought Kaylie couldn't get any worse, she struck the final cord with The Fashion Assassin- Belittling Dana right in front of her! Up to this point, she had gnashed her teeth and tolerated her callousness, but being so blithely infuriating in her own abode was enough to call Kieda to action!*

"Well, Kaylie, please allow me to interject~" *With a dulcet voice and a spring in her step, Kieda maintained a few inches of distance between herself and the bedeviling blonde.*"You have the audacity to let yourself into my house, condescend to my new friend, and then silence her as if she's your indentured servant?" *She rhetorically inquired, before lunging forward with her lead foot for a superkick aimed squared at Kaylie's maw!* "I think it's well past your bedtime. Have pleasant dreams, kiddo~"

A fourth figure was about to enter the scene. It was the second half of Shinobi Sunshine and Kieda's girlfriend Mina Piper. There were many reasons she was heading to the Gem's Haven. Sparring with the cerulean beauty was always more fun and productive than working over a bag. She was also going to ask when their first official match as a team was set to begin. What will their opponents be like? And there was nothing wrong visiting her Kiedy. Mina whistled without a care in the world, believing that her day will be full of orderly chaos.

She arrived to see the door half-open much to her curiosity. "Oh the interview. I probably shouldn't disturb them. Maybe I can take a teesy tiny peek..." the pinkette sidestepped and leaned in hoping to get a look at the interviewer. She would be in for an odd sight as the first thing she saw was Kieda superkicking a familiar looking blonde girl. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest from the surprise. Believing that this was an entirely different situation, Mina grabbed the handle and pulled the door completely open before entering the room a split-second later. "Sorry to intrude Kiedy but can you explain why you just kicked a girl in the jaw?" she asked sounding awfully calm.

When the kick landed, Kaylie was knocked out right away. She dropped to the ground like a rag doll. Dana's whole body locked up. Her eyes went wide as she saw it all unfold. Kieda's kick was strong and precise. Kaylie wasn't the most experienced fighter in the world, but the way that Kieda's kick connected with her jaw, Dana doesn't think anyone could take that and remain standing afterwards. Dana had no idea how to react to all of this. Kaylie has been her best friend for the longest time, but she's also her boss. And sometimes it can be really hard to mix a personal relationship with a business relationship. That doesn't mean Dana wouldn't try though. She'd try for Kaylie. But then there's Kieda, her new friend. Dana knows that, despite her best efforts, she looked like a nervous mess. Kieda probably noticed, and thought it was because Kaylie is horrible to her. But Dana doesn't think Kaylie is. Either way though, Kieda was just trying to protect Dana from a bad boss.

Dana went over to Kaylie, and gingerly picked her up. She was holding her in a bridal carry. She awkwardly moved from one foot to the other trying to think up what to say. It was made even more awkward when she noticed someone else just walked in. Dana figured it would be best that she just left.

"I uh... I'm just... Yeah, I should go. It was nice meeting you Kieda." Dana said awkwardly.

Dana took Kaylie home. If she weren't such an anxious person, she'd find it funny how she was caught between two girls with names that both start with K.

*While her approach to the situation may have been a bit more spontaneous than she would have liked, Kieda was no less ashamed of it- Dana wasn't any less human than Kaylie, and to witness the brazen disrespect towards someone she deemed a genuinely sweet individual to be so mistreated was something The Fashion Assassin couldn't tolerate. However, while it was incredibly mortifying for Dana to have experienced it, Kieda couldn't help but to allow herself an iota of satisfaction at such an immaculately timed pop to Kaylie's mandible, which had inevitably sent her spiraling towards the cold, harsh ground below.*

"Trust me, the pleasure was all mine Dana. I'm sure we will see each other again soon~"

*She casually waved her new compatriot away as she carried the silent agitator out with her. With a chipper demeanor at the sight of her bubbly girlfriend making her presence known, she whipped around to give her the full, undivided attention she was expecting, but not before winking in her direction.* "Keep those two fresh in your mind, my dear Mina- I can personally guarantee you that we haven't seen the last of them. Not by a long shot~"

*Wether having deliberately sparked a war between herself and the perplexing streamer, or perhaps it was all a mere coincidence that she just so happened to stroll into Kieda's Haven at just the right time to trigger her temper, it mattered little to The Fashion Assassin- Regardless of circumstance, she would dauntlessly defend those who couldn't defend themselves. However, she would not take on such an endeavor alone, as Mina would help her through and through, which encouraged her to crack a smile.* "But, whatever happens...take it easy on the shy one."

"And I don't exist" Mina commented as the two guests left the room barely acknowledging her. She had extra questions to ask about Kieda but now it was about the present situation. Before she could speak, Kieda would put words into her mouth. "Ohhhhh so that's who we are facing! They certainly look like the fun bunch!" she replied showing approval of the double date that was their first match together.

However what piqued Mina's interest even more was the second part. "I guess that other girl must be your friend! Any friends of yours is mine as well! I pinkie swear she won't get injured!" the pinkette puffed out her chest before crossing her heart. She was definitely going to uphold her promise.

"Since we have a match and your interview is over, I think the best thing to do is play erm I mean train! We can talk about the interview. Also our entrance and...." she continued asking about hundred things while pulling Kieda's arm along. As the two headed to the ring for some ninja training, Mina was sure about what one thing; She was in for an exciting tag team debut

The End
