The Prima Donna's Diary - Prologue: Sweet Dreams Do Come True! (For Bare)

[Misfit_Alien]

"O-oh? Oh! Y-yeah-..." Ami said, blushing a little more now after Niko's first comment. But then came the brief amount of chit-chat as they got to know each other a little...and starting with how Ami got into LAW, she had some 'difficulties' answering at first.

"Well, I managed to get in thanks to my dad's connections...He made a few calls and I-...I mean, I'm not some nepo-baby, I trained really hard for this and the contract was a birthday gift that I got after spending some time on the local indie scene, but-...ah-..." She looked off to the side a little nervously. "I guess I am kind of 'skipping the line'..." She said, chuckling awkwardly. "But that doesn't mean I'm not going to prove that I belong here by working my butt off." She said, making a confident statement. "Who knows, maybe we'll see each other in the ring sometime...and then we'll see how quickly YOU'LL melt when I get my hands on you, and maybe...we'll get a preview of how that would go later tonight?" She said, eyes looking rather hopeful after flirting so brazenly, trying to match Niko's energy...while also hoping to get lucky, too.

Niko had asked about how Ami had gotten into LAW as a fairly basic question, or at least she hoped so, but quickly she realized that maybe it wasn't the best thing to ask based on how the girl responded. 'Shoot is there some kinda bad history with how she got in or something?' Niko thought to herself as Ami then began to speak, mentioning how she got in through her dad, but quickly doubled back trying to make sure she didn't seem like a nepo baby which cleared it up to Niko right away as to why she was reacting the way she was. 'Ohhhh I see.' Niko thought to herself as she nodded along to Ami who tried to salvage it with talking about them potentially facing each other which then turned into a hopeful wish that Niko just smiled at. "Welllll its a little early but so far you're definitely on the right track for a preview hehe." Niko said in a teasing tone along with a wink before clearing her throat.

"But also don't worry I don't think you're a nepo baby, or rather I don't think it matters much if you are one way or another. What matters is that you want to prove yourself which means the crowd and other talent for the most part will like you. At the very least I'm not one to judge at all. I started at LAW through the Young Lioness program pretty much to make a easy buck and didn't take it seriously till like a year ago." Niko said in a reassuring tone towards the brunette, a bright smile dawning on her face as she looked at Ami with a smile, only to move up on instinct and get broken from looking at her date by the worker asking her what she wanted. "OH! Sorry hehe, uh I'll have strawberry chocolate cheesecake flavor ice cream please!" Niko said with a bright smile before turning to Ami to see what she would order.

Ami's cheeks grew a little red at Niko's response to her attempt at flirting, but on top of that, she was really eager to see that she was so receptive to her 'backstory'...it eased her mind to get all of that off her chest, on top of the pink-haired woman sharing that she might've not taken things as seriously as others have in the past, but now they were two lightweights looking to make waves in their division and throughout all of LAW!!! Then, when it was their turn to order, Ami got an idea in mind. "I'd like some orange-vanilla ice cream, please~" She requested politely before turning toward Niko with a devious smirk on her face. "Normally I'd go for bubblegum, but-...I have a feeling I'll be having something else that's pink and bubbly for dessert tonight~..." She said, feeling a lot more confident now. Once they got their ice cream, they found themselves at a table by the window. The bustling city streets of Tokyo, juxtaposed with the calm interior of the ice cream parlor, provided some rather entertaining background ambiance.

"So, you said you were a Young Lioness, right? I'm curious, how's it going for you now? And what motivated you to take things seriously?" She asked, so curious and intrigued by Niko's story. For her, wrestling was like a second chance at life, and as she was about to be in the mix with so many different types of talent here at LAW, she was understandably eager to learn about how everyone else came to find their place here.

Looks like Niko's response to Ami had been rather satisfactory to the brunette who blushed and seemed even closer to Niko as a result. In fact Ami was even willing to make a rather bold pass at Niko who just smirked a bit more deviously as she received her own ice cream.

"Hehe, maybeeee. If you think you can handle alllll this sweetness." Niko said as she took a deliberately sensual lick of her ice cream before turning and heading towards the table with a noticeable sway to her hips until she took her seat at the table and smiled across at Ami who did the same before asking a question of her own to Niko.

"Oh welllll I kinda passed the program by popularity more than anything hehe, and for a while as a result I was mostly a jobber eating losses." Niko said, looking at her ice cream before back up at Ami.

"Then well... long story short I ended up getting into a feud with a lady by the name of Tiki Lowell. It was really intense and aggressive for a while but despite me being kind of a terrible person overall back then she did see potential in me and basically forced me to be under her wing and ever since then I've taken wrestling a lot more seriously and I've started to win a lot more too!" Niko said with a bit of a wistful smile before taking another lick of her ice cream.

"Really I owe a lot to her. Both for teaching me and making me a much better person." Niko said with a smile as she looked back up at Ami. "Like honestly if you had met me how I was back then you'd probably be more interesting in breaking my face hehe." Niko said with a bashful chuckle and scratch at the back of her head.

[Misfit_Alien]

That first lick Niko gave...long, sensual, provocative...it made Ami's heart rate skyrocket as her cheeks reddened a little. "W-well, I'll guess we'll see, won't we?" She said, trying to keep her composure, twiddling with a loose strand of her hair, enamored with the pink-haired woman. Niko was certainly a hottie, practically everything Ami saw in a crush. On top of that, she seemed like such a pleasant person to be around! Around her, Ami felt confident and secure. That "first date" anxiety from earlier was replaced with feelings of desire and awe.

After Niko's little story, Ami tilted her head, curious yet receptive to the woman's backstory. "Seems like everything turned out for the best then~...You've turned over a new leaf! You should be proud of yourself." She chimed, giving Niko a comforting smile. "We all have those 'awkward' phases...we're young and dumb, and we're allowed to be! Even if that sometimes gets us knocked on our butts." She joked. "I will say, you might be right about the whole 'breaking' your face...I used to compete in amateur kickboxing competitions, so let's just say you'd be waking up real sore in the morning if we met before then~..." She teased. "I'm sure I could still take you~...in more ways than one~...but I guess we'll just have to find out later, won't we?" She said before taking a scoop out of her ice cream and savoring the exquisite, ice-cold flavors. "Ooo, I LOVE this one!" She shook her body a bit, overwhelmed with joyful emotions as she took another taste. "Woooah! It's even BETTER the second time~" She flipped on a dime, going from sultry and lustful to absolutely adorable in just two scoops~

Niko giggled a bit at Ami and nodded at her. "Hehe yeah we will." Niko said with a wink, taking notice of Ami's reaction to her 'lick' of ice cream and taking great pleasure in the way she had reacted in turn, but also very much appreciating the young woman's response to what she had, saying that she should be proud of the changes she had made.

"Yeah I'm definitely proud. I'm much more a person now than I was back then." Niko said with a nod before tilting her head as Ami mentioned she did amateur kickboxing back in the day, and likely definitely would have knocked her out if they had met back then. "Hehe yeah I don't doubt it. Especially since my first instinct back then was to either block with my face or duck and pray." Niko said with a another giggle as she took another lick of ice cream while Ami made somewhat of a challenge.

"Hehe yeah we definitely will. Can count on that." Niko said with a wink tot he girl before watching as she took her own taste of the ice cream, looking positively wholesome and adorable with both bites, the slight bit of shaking and vibrating she did also highlighting just how attractive her body was making Niko smiled pleasantly as she nodded along. "I know right! This place's specialty flavors are the freaking best! It's honestly the best way to get off to a good start in the city." Niko said with a peppy smile as she took another bite of her own treat.

"And it's made even better when I get to spend that time with someone so wonderful~" Ami chimed. "Between all the paperwork, passport nonsense, getting my dogs shipped over, moving in, and preparing for my in-ring debut...I really needed this. It's all been so stressful, y'know? Being in a different country. I know of Japanese customs, my mother made sure to raise me with some knowledge of traditions and such, but LA culture is way more prominent...I'm just afraid of being such a fish out of water, all on my own for the first time. It's like going off to college but WAY more intense..." She said, trailing off toward the end. "Which is why I'm so glad I met you, Niko. To have a 'friend' here with me...it's a nice break from it all." She said, taking a few more licks of her ice cream, having worked away at it between their conversation, nearly getting brain freeze at times. "I think that...if I hadn't met you...I might've spent my entire day just freaking out in bed like a total mess. So, getting some fresh air and getting used to the city was definitely needed."

[Bare]

As she worked away at her ice cream Niko would look up at Ami as she spoke again, talking about how stressful all the technical details of moving to Japan had been and worrying about being a fish out of water despite being aware of Japanese culture. Admittedly being a Japanese native Niko couldn't exactly fully relate, but she could at least admit to knowing what it was like being a fish out of water and how important that companionship could be. "Honestly I get that. At least a little and honestly even though we just met I'm glad I was able to make things even just a little bit better for you and brighten your day up. You're a super sweet person and I KNOW the crowd will love you when you debut." Niko said sweetly with a smile. "Speaking of which...." Niko said as she finished her ice cream before sitting up and holding her hand out to Ami. "Lets say we get to exploring a bit huh? The day has only just started for us after all!" Niko said excitedly to Ami with a smile, feeling way more determined now than she did before about showing Ami a great time!

[Misfit_Alien]

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, hehe...it means a lot~...I hope I have as much impact on the crowd as I did with you~..." She said, giggling, finishing up her ice cream and kicking her feet under the table like an excited little schoolgirl before smiling at the idea of checking out her and Niko's next stop on their little adventure around town. "Yeah! I wanna see everything you have to show me~" She said, blushing as she took Niko's hand, goosebumps forming on her skin as her hands were so soft, gentle, and guiding, yet at the same time, she was exuberating this warm and passionate energy. Niko's presence was like a shot of coffee...desperately needed, a real wake-up call, yet still warm and soothing despite the hit of caffeine and the rush that came with it. Ami ADORED her, and was eager to spend every second with her as they left the parlor, treated to the hot sunny day, with only a few clouds in the sky and the shadows of the monstrous Tokyo skyscrapers to provide them shade from the sun as it beared down on them with its warm rays.

Niko giggled a bit as she grabbed onto Ami's hand and immediately led her out of the ice cream parlor and into the bustling streets of Tokyo. It was funny, there was something almost electric about Ami and her presence to Niko. Like the American girl was a positive charge while Niko was a negative, and with their hands joined together it was as if the circuit was complete and the two were radiating energy in a way that was just utterly and completely pleasant. "Yeah and I'm excited to show you! Do you like games? I know a great arcade that isn't too far off from here if that sounds fun to you." Niko inquired to ami with a light blush on her face, just happy to be with the LAW newbie.
