Roses are red

[Devastated]

Candy Cane was tired, drained and it was all because of the woman who she was currently helping out through the hallway, getting them towards the locker room. Reiko had been a tough opponent, but the Canadian had been the one to come out on top in their previous match that had just ended only a few minutes ago. Though, hauling Reiko off towards the locker room was something that had the redhead curse out under her breath, annoyed that she had to help the Japanese fighter off towards the locker room like this.

Finally enough Candy had reached the locker room and since her hands were busy with keeping Reiko upright the Punk-rocker instead kicked the door open with her right boot and pull them into the locker room. Letting out a loud groan the punk rocker would shuffle over towards the bench and then quickly try and drop Reiko down onto her rear on the bench. The redhead would then stumble backwards a bit and after a few seconds and having reached the nearby wall she'd drop down onto her rear.

Leaning against the wall as she would pant out some more and shake her head. " You owe me for supporting your sorry ass all the way up here. Zero." Candy Cane spoke out as she would look up and point at Reiko. " I'm gonna collect on that someday, though I doubt I'll ever need your help to get to a locker room. Since I'm not planning on ever losing to you."

[TheManVan]

Reiko couldn't help but laugh sheepishly as Candy helped her backstage, her feet barely able to support herself in walking and Candy had to do most of the heavy lifting. Her body was drenched in sweat, she needed a cold shower after she rested up enough to regain her stamina as they made it to the locker room. Candy kicked the door open, normally Reiko would've objected for such a crass way to open a door.

But in her condition and how she was hampering Candy, she didn't say anything regarding it as she was dropped on a bench.

"Whew! That was a trek!" she let out as she relaxed her body, almost slumping down onto bench to lay down. But she knew that would be a mistake. She would most likely never want to get up after that. Keeping herself steady and on the bench, she looked over to Candy who was going on about her returning the favor some day.

"Well...If I can't beat you like say, don't be surprise when I do by the way, how would you want me to repay you?"

[Devastated]

Candy Cane would pant out as she moved her hand up towards her forehead and wiped off the sweat off of it. She shook her head, she had gotten way too sweaty fighting Reiko. As much or even more than she had against Aisha. Reiko was just a whole different type of opponent, a skilled wrestler as opposed to a dangerous brawler/mma like fighter. Reiko also had just as many flip like moves and jumping attacks as the Canadian had, she was probably better than the punk-rocker with submission holds. Though Candy Cane had the edge in brawling and punching!

" Hah...the hell if I know." Candy Cane let out through panting breaths as she would look up at Reiko, shaking her head a bit the redhead would place her arms over her knees as she'd look on at Reiko. " Maybe...you'll have to buy me lunch or somethin'." Candy Cane let out with a grin on her face. She'd slowly start to push herself up towards her feet with the help of the wall behind her. After which she would move up towards Reiko and gently slap the top of the woman's head.

" So I guess you didn't expect to lose today huh? Though at least you didn't act like that damn pop-queen and think you could push me around." Candy Cane let out, not in an angry way...mostly in a bit of a friendly sounding manner as she looked on at Reiko and finally turned to seat herself next to the brunette.

[TheManVan]

Resting her hands on her knees as she leaned forward while sitting on the bench, Candy was definitely a skilled fighter. Reiko again having to inwardly be jealous of such talent for Candy to just pick up wrestling like this. She began playing the match back in her head, trying to think what she could've done a little differently. Thinking back, she remembered trying to match Candy's brawling abilities rather than focus on her submission talents. That was something to remember the next time they met up inside of a ring.

"Haa...haha...lunch? That's kind of in a direction I wasn't expecting." she let out, laughing a little with the idea of buying someone food for losing. Speaking of which, she found herself a bit hungry after that intense match, so much so that her stomach growled out. Her eyes widened in embarrassment before covering her stomach. "Heheh....food doesn't sound all that bad actually." she muttered kinda loudly out as Candy patted her head. Even though she was older, but not by much over the Canadian, she was still being treated like an underclassman.

"Who goes into their match thinking they'll lose?" she let out in a jest as Candy sat down next to her, realizing that Candy was talking about Aisha. "Oh, talking about Aisha? That's right, she's here too!" she remember coming across Aisha during a mud match for the Rumble Rose and remembered her incredibly coarse attitude towards her for no reason. "Yeah, I remembered when we were placed in a mud match, she thought that I didn't belong, even insulting my mom! Who does that?"

[Devastated]

Candy Cane would look on at Reiko as her stomach growled out, the redhead would laugh out at how Reiko got embarrassed about the act and would nudge her shoulder against Reiko. " Then you buy me dinner after the match." Candy Cane let out as she would smile towards Reiko. " Should make sure you don't lose so easily next time." The Canadian let out to the Japanese woman next to her. She would snicker out a bit and then hear Reiko talk about Aisha.

Yeah, Aisha was a bit of a bitch. Candy Cane remembered that well enough. " She's a huge turd." Candy Cane spoke out as she would nod her head. " A giant bitch. Did you know she started a fight with me backstage after I kicked her ass here." Candy Cane let out as she looked over at Reiko. Of course that maybe wasn't the exact way the events went down, but that was Candy Cane's version of it. " She's a bit of a pill, or rather a bit of a super bitch who thinks that just cause she's rich she can push people around however she wants." Candy Cane let out. She took a moment after though to think..." Damn, I remember those Mud Matches, they were somethin' else."

[TheManVan]

Reiko felt the nudge to her shoulder as she playfully nudged back with her shoulder into Candy, sloppy as it was. "Haha, fine I can manage that. Just don't go expensive date on me. No fancy restaurants, but I do know a few good spots around here." Reiko excitedly let out, she didn't think that Candy has explored around Japan's streets yet and all of the amazing foods that her country had to offer!

But before she had a chance to start blabbing about the various of restaurants that they could try out after jumping into the shower and cleaning up, Reiko let out a sigh, she wasn't surprised that Candy and Aisha got into a fight, Aisha with her rude comments and Candy's strong headed attitude. "Did you? Why does that woman have to go picking fights?" Reiko exasperatedly let out as she would turn to Candy the topic shifting towards mud matches of Rumble Rose, "Heh, yeah. I didn't think that of all things we'd had to wrestle in mud. It was something, rolling around in the muck. Who did you end up fighting against?"

[Devastated]

Candy Cane was pleased to hear that Reiko was going to treat her to dinner, the redhead would nod her head in pleasure as she would shrug and then let out a light "Tch." as heard Reiko tell her not to go for anything too expensive. The punk-rocker would finally roll her eyes and give in though. "Fine, but no sushi!" The Canadian let out as she would keep her eyes fixed on Reiko.

" Beats me, she's a bitch." She let out as she would nod her head and fold her arms up behind her head. Candy Cane would shook her head as the conversation turned towards mud matches of the good old Rumble Roses. " Me? I fought that Cowgirl." Candy Cane spoke as she thought back to that match, the biggest marvel about Dixie Clements had been the size of her magnificent rack. " So I got Dixie and you got Aisha, that's rather funny."

[TheManVan]

"Sushi isn't the only thing we have for food!" Reiko exasperatedly let out, lifting her hand to lightly tap against Candy's stomach with her gloved hand. Although sushi was a delicacy that Japan was known for, but there were other foods out there that they could enjoy! She just had to show them all to Candy, not all at once. Heh, maybe she could start a food bet with her.

And then a little detail got brought up to her, how she faced off against Aisha in a mud match while Candy faced Dixie. "Huh...I guess it is. Dixie was telling about how much Aisha doesn't like her. Luck of the draw I guess?" she let out, but she was more interested in how Candy's and Dixie's match went, from Reiko's experience Dixie was a tough girl to bring down with all of that Texan Strength. "How did your match with Dixie go? She must've been hard to take down."

[Devastated]

Candy Cane huffed out when Reiko's hand smacked into her bare belly, she coughed out once from the surprise as she looked on at Reiko. " Could have fooled me." The Canadian spoke out as she would grin over at the Japanese woman. The conversation about food did turn more towards a conversation about the good old days at Rumble Roses, something that Candy Cane didn't have any problem talking about but...she didn't really get why they were talking about it.

" Hell, anytime I get to be rid of Aisha, that's just perfect." The redhead would then roll her eyes as she got that question about Dixie. " You bet your ass she was. Damn huge racked blondie! Probably one of the toughest fights I've had in my life, though I took her down just like I did you!" Candy Cane let out with a smirk as she would raise her right arm and flex it a bit. " That's what you get for underestimating me though."

[TheManVan]

Reiko couldn't help but be drawn to their old days in the Rumble Rose, it was where Reiko had her first big gig as a professional wrestler. But even as big as it was to her, she couldn't keep up with all that was happening in the promotion and different matches with different people helped her see things from different perspectives. Plus she was really nosy when it came down to her rivals and a match against Dixie and Candy, her new top two rivals was a story she could not keep out of, even if it was in a mud match. "Hahah, yeah that sounds like Dixie. Girl from Texas is nothing to laugh at. She's put me through some of my hardest matches. Ours reaches right up there by for different reasons." she let out, she didn't want to go and make the mistake of disparaging Candy unintentionally, although she didn't think Candy would let that weigh her down that much with how confident she was feeling.

"Although I didn't think wrestling in mud would be such a big difference...as embarrassing as it is. I didn't think that it would weigh me down so much." the Zero Fighter let out, reminiscing about the tangle she had with Aisha in the goop before she was pulled out of her memories with how Candy assuming that she'd underestimated her. "Hey! I didn't underestimate you! We went at it and you came out on top! That's all! If we had another match, I could even it out!" Reiko let out, she was courteous and polite, but she was damn confident of her abilities and her competitiveness was again being drawn out the longer Candy continued to insist she was better. At the moment she was right, but it made Reiko want to climb even harder to reach up to her rival.
