Providing Guidance (For PrincessBlair)

[PrinceArjuna332]

Dana Ashford was at the gym for a working out session. She needed to stay fit to keep up with the younger generation these days, and just because she was nearing 50 didn't mean she had to slack off. She still had lots of things to do despite her advanced age, and she wanted to achieve as much as possible here in LAW, even if this was the last stop for her in her illustrious career.

Wearing olive green tank top and tight work out pants, Dana carried her bag with her as she was getting ready to do her workout. In the gym, she could see other people, mostly LAW wrestlers, working out. Due to her age, they were far younger than her, with them around the same age as her daughters. Shrugging, she made her way to one section of the ring, planning to do some bench pressing.

Hoshino Nozomi hasn't been having doing very well in her career in LAW. She thought she would be having some fun matches with her Kindy Stardust persona. While the fans seems to love her, the people she is matched seems to be the meanest people. While her first match against Lyria went great, and was fun, her opponent was a good sport, she won. Her second match against Akemi went horrible, however. Akemi seemed to just want to hurt Kindy. That was not very fun. Her third match against Rose Gold was a complete disaster. Kindy was utterly defeated, she got one single hit in at the very beginning, and before she knew it she was in her opponent lap getting spanked. Kindy blacked out after that. She is not sure what exactly happened, but she when woke up the match was over, and she was laying on the mat in a puddle of her own juices.

But she is not going to give up. Hoshino is not going let two complete failures get her down. She was going to the gym to train! Hoshino gets to the gym! Gets into her work out gear (bicycle shorts and a training bra)! And!... ... ... She sits on the bench looking over some of the training equipment and watches the other girls workout. They all looked so stronger than her. Hoshino is pretty athletic, she always kept in good shape, but she was not as strong as the other girls. They could all probably beat her up.

Dana did a little bit of bench pressing, repeating the same motion a few times. Due to her age, she was advised to not overdo it, but she had been very hale and lively all these years that she didn't seem to worry too much about her health. Once she finished, she took some time to cool down before she thought of what to do next.

As she thought to herself, she saw a rather curious sight. There was a girl just sitting at the bench, watching other girls doing their workouts. A smile crept on Dana's face as she decided to speak to the girl. Approaching her, Dana put on her motherly smile. Pushing the strands of her hair to the back of her ear, she approached the girl and spoke to her.

"My, hello there..." Dana said. "I see that you're just sitting there, watching other girls instead of training. Is there anything troubling you, dear?" From her estimation, the girl was probably even younger than her daughters, and the sight of her just watching others here in the gym somehow caused her maternal instinct to kick in.

Hoshino is so distracted by her own thoughts that she doesn't notice the older woman approaching her. The young girl jumps up, a bit spooked as the the woman starts talking to her. "AH! Oh... Hi!" Hoshino quickly stands up to give a respectful bow. "Was I staring? I'm sorry. I was just thinking... to myself... Hoshino sits back down, but gives the woman space to sit down next to her if she wants.

"Everyone just looks so strong..." Hoshino says with a hint of sadness. She then looks down at her own scrawny body.

Dana tilted her head as she listened to the girl's words. From the sound of it, she felt inadequate compared to other girls here in LAW, and Dana couldn't help but sympathize with her. There was one time when she also experienced the same thing as a young woman, but now, here she was, being one of the wrestling's elites.

"Are you sure?" Dana asked as she then sat beside the girl. "Do you think you're lacking compared to them?" She thought that the girl might need some confidence boost. "Not everyone starts out great, you know? If you work hard enough, you'll sure reach their level someday." Then, she decided to introduce herself to the girl. "Oh, my name is Dana, by the way."

[PrincessBlair]

"Oh... My name is Hoshino. Sorry Dana-San, forgot my manners..." Hoshino introduces herself, looking down at her feet. "Well... I don't have to be great... I just want to have FUN! But my last 2 matches have... Not been that... I just seem to get humiliated every time I step into the ring. So I want to get stronger so that I can at least hold my own... But everyone seems so strong..." Hoshino explains her situation to the stranger, with out looking up once. She doesn't even know if Dana is still listening to her ramble.

Dana nodded, knowing that not everyone wanted to be at the top, though she couldn't exactly understand the drive of people who didn't want to strive to be the best. As she listened to Hoshino's words, Dana put her fingers under her chin, giving it some thoughts. Once she was done thinking, she looked at the girl's face, still smiling at her.

"Well, perhaps the problem lies in your own motivation to wrestle, Hoshino..." Dana began. "You said you wrestle to have fun, but in order to have fun while wrestling, both parties need to have the same mindset. If your opponent doesn't share your mindset of having fun, then don't be surprised if you end up being on the receiving end of a beatdown."

She thought that her words might sound too harsh, so she decided to soften it a bit. "Well, I can understand why you want to be stronger so that you can have fun without worrying about becoming someone else's punching bag. Why don't you become my student?" Dana suggested. "I have experience as a wrestling instructor too, and I don't mind taking a student here in Japan."

Hoshino gets teary eyed as Dana criticizes her motives for wrestling. Maybe she wasn't cut out to be a wrestler and all of this was bad idea. It seems the young girl is about to cry, but the moment Dana asks Hoshino to be her student she perks.

"You want to train me?" Hoshino asks, looking up at Dana. She still a bit teary eyed, but she smiles. "That would great! My manager, Blair-sama, only made sure I knew the basics before getting me into LAW. But you can teach me more, yes. Dana-sensei."

[PrinceArjuna332]

Seeing the sight of the girl almost crying sure brought a profound effect to Dana, whose maternal instinct urged her to comfort the girl. She smiled, nodding to the girl after offering to teach her how to wrestle.

"Well, knowing the basics is a good start," Dana nodded as she crossed her arms under her ample breasts. "But I want to warn you that learning under me is not easy. If I train my students, I expect nothing but progress from them, and you are no different." Then, she gave her a motherly smile. "Of course, I will make sure to impart everything I know so that you will make good progress under my tutelage..."

[PrincessBlair]

Hoshino's smile widens as she listens to Dana. "Don't worry Dana-sensei, I will try my hardest! Kindy Stardust always gives her all!" Hoshino yells with enthusiasm. She suddenly stands up and does a pose, putting one hand on her hip, and two fingers above her eye and winking. "Where do we start, Dana-sensei?!"
