A night out with old friends interrupted (For SimplyWoo and ScylliasExoter)

Oscar tapped away on his phone as he was sitting inside a decent-looking Sushi Bar, looking quite relaxed as he shot a message out to Tina to see if she wanted to meet up with him. He was looking to unwind after another gym session and was admittedly anxious about hearing back from the higher-ups about his eligibility to graduate from the program. It was bad enough that his painful loss to Drake Benton had derailed his plans to graduate but even worse was waiting around for a response after his match with Cassandra Selinofoto to see if he was still good to go. With having missed his ideal deadline for the graduation match at the end of January, Oscar was more stressed out than he liked. He just wanted a nice, peaceful evening to try and unwind while reconnecting with his best friend- having practically isolated himself to focus purely on working out. Besides, Oscar couldn't recall the last time he hung out with Tina that didn't involve training and it was long overdue for them to sit down and hang out as besties.

Aurora Gonzalez was having a hectic day. She had just started work at the sushi bar. It was a simple sushi bar where she didn't have to look dress up thematically, so she got it. That was only part of the reason she became a waitress there. She heard it was a popular hangout for LAW wrestlers. And seeing as Aurora wanted to have some side income, she figured she'd meet the wrestlers while she's at it. Aurora had experience wrestling in Mexico, so LAW was willing to put her on the main roster. However Aurora refused and requested to go through the Young Lioness Program. She had suffered a great defeat that crushed her confidence in Mexico and wanted a fresh start. In the spirit of being "La Fenix" Aurora wanted to rise from the ashes and go up the ranks from the bottom. Aurora learned this morning that her application was successful right before coming into work. Lunch was crazy busy and now the dinner rush was starting.

Aurora saw a large red headed man come in and sit at a table. He was incredibly muscular and Aurora guessed he was a pro wrestler given their proximity to the LAW training center. Aurora quickly pounced and went to serve Oscar before any other waitress could. She approached him but found herself just staring at him and his large, athletic frame. Aurora was clearly nervous, more than she expected. "¡Hola! Lo sient- Sorry, Hi! I'm Aurora and I'll be your server today. The sushi rolls will come around on the conveyor belt and you just take them right there. I take all other orders or any special requests to the sushi chefs. That was a lot, Lo s- Sorry. Can I get you anything to drink?" she smiled awkwardly.

Minus the sword and initials on her boots this time

As Aurora was talking to Oscar she suddenly felt a set of hands gently touch her hips and heard a polite whisper of "Excuse me, sorry." As a beautiful bluenette woman squeezed herself past Aurora from behind to curve around to stand beside where Oscar was sitting as she draped her arm across his shoulder to hug him to her side as she looked down at him with a smile. Instead of her white and blue two piece stringed bikini, she instead wore a midriff
showing tight white tank top, a short blue mini-skirt, blue boots, but this time without her initials on them, and of course her long grey sweater tied around her waist. "Hey buddy." She then listened to her speak, all the while looking impressed by her physique. "I will take a mojito please." She then looked at Oscar and back at the waitress. "Say, you look to be in great shape, like she would do well in the squared circle, don't you think Oscar?" She asked as she took a seat beside Oscar, crossing one leg over top of the other.

Oscar was about to answer the waitress but stopped when Tina arrived. The young lion grinned and gave his trainer a hug back before turning back to the waitress.

"Oh yes- an apple cider for me please, if you have it"

With drink orders placed, Oscar looked back at Tina.

"Great to see you, boss! God- I don't know why we haven't hung out sooner. How have you been?"

As he started up some conversation, Oscar would go ahead and scoop up a plate of sushi off the conveyer belt.

Aurora felt a pair of hands on her hip and she turned around and stepped aside. She couldn’t help but gawke at Tina. “Oh, pardon me. ¡Guau! I’m Aurora and I’ll be taking care of you two today. Can I start you off with some drinks?”

Upon hearing Tina comment on her physique, Aurora beamed and shuffled nervously. ”Oh thank you! I actually am a wrestler! I figured you were as well given your physiques and us being near LAW and all. I learned this morning my application to LAW’s Young Lioness program was accepted!”

[MappleMan7]

Oscar was just about to take a bite out of his sushi when he heard Aurora mention how she had just been accepted to the young lioness program. It made the Barbarian Prince pause and lower the food as he looked over at Aurora with a big smile.

"Yo! Are you serious? Congrats! You know- I'm in the young lions myself and I can promise you you'll have an amazing time. I've been there for about eight months now and can tell you that all of the instructors are awesome- plus it's an awesome way to make friends. May I ask what gimmick it is you plan on using?"

Oscar leaned over towards Aurora a bit, curiosity taking hold as the young man seemed eager to hear more from the newest member of LAW's training program.

Tina giggled as Aurora asked what drinks they wanted again, chalking it up to nerves probably as she pointed at herself and then to Oscar. "It was a Mojito and an Apple Cider." She then grinned at Aurora hearing about her acceptance into the Lioness program. "Sweet! Congratulations." She then looked to Oscar smiling and enjoying his enthusiasm as always and let him ask his question before looking back at Aurora. "I happen to be an open trainer for Young Lions and Lioness, this big guy here happens to be one of my students." She mentioned patting Oscar on his upper arm. "So if you need a trainer, I can give you my contact information after we're done eating." She mentioned as she looked at the conveyor belt in action. "Alright Oscar, I will admit, I have never had sushi before, so if you or Aurora have any recommendations you can pull a plate down in front of me and I will give it a try."

”¡Sí, estoy emocionada! And that’s good to hear! As for my gimmick, well… I wrestled in Mexico, but that didn’t end well… So I reinvented myself as “La Fénix!” Or the Phoenix in English. You’ll have to wait to see me in gear. They offered for me to go straight to the main roster, but I couldn’t. Los Leones Jóvenes is where I need to be,” Aurora said, with a sorrowful, wistful look on her face.

She snapped out of it and turned to Tina. ”Yes I’d love to train with you! But a mojito and an apple cider first. Lo escribí, so It’ll get to the bar, even if I space out and have to ask again,” she chuckled as she held up the ticket with their orders. ”Be right back with drinks and to help with sushi recommendations,” she smiled and left the two, trying to calm her nerves as she walked away.

Oscar frowned slightly when Aurora brought up Mexico, suggesting a difficult event occurred before she came to LAW. Oscar had no intention of prying into Aurora's past and simply offered the young lioness a sympathetic nod and smiled at Tina as she patted his arm before speaking to Aurora some more.

"Well... hey- as far as fresh starts go, I'd say you picked the perfect place to go. Especially with Tina here. She mentored me back when I was still a big, clumsy newbie back during my first week in the program. She's been a fantastic teacher and taught me the basics and more- so I highly recommend her. See you soon!"

Oscar waved Aurora off as she hurried away to fetch the drinks before looking back at Tina.

"Right- new to sushi... well, I'm super new to this as well if I have to be honest. I only know about these types of places because of a youtube video I got recommended after all. Here- this looks good! Give this a try"

Nabbing a plate for Tina, Oscar would chuckle as he placed a serving of sushi in front of his mentor. It smelled quite fresh- definitely looking like it was made not too long ago. Each piece of sushi was stacked on the plate to make it look like a tiny pyramid for presentation. How fancy!

Tina smiled as Oscar set a plate down in front of her as she unwrapped the chopsticks from the wrapper they were in and popped the sticks apart as she readied them. "Thank you sir, ooo this looks nice." She mentioned as she then plucked a piece off of the plate and shoved it in her mouth. It was at this point that mistakes were made. Apparently, with both being new to the sushi scene, what Oscar didn't realize was that he pulled off the belt, not regular tuna, but spicy tuna. In fact it was probably the spiciest tuna at this location and if either of them took the opportunity to smell the sushi, they could have probably smelled the heat coming off of it.

As she started to chew, she suddenly brought her hand to her chest as she let out a few small inward coughs. She then quickly finished what she was chewing gulping it down as her eyes began to water as she brought her fist up to her lips as she began to cough more uncontrollably. "Oh shit..cough...Oscar...what did you...spa...cough..." She then pointed at herself making a circular motion with her index finger. "Spicy...cough." She mentioned as she fanned herself and looked around as she whispered. "Fuck..." out of a little bit of panic as she realized she didn't have any drink to relieve the heat.
