Back at the Boardwalk

Summer Splash had ended two days earlier. Janet, who in the ring was known as Lady Lakota, had not participated in the annual pay-per-view event. Not this time around. She was there instead to support her lover Azami, who had fought for the hentai title and, to Janet’s delight—but not to her surprise, as she had had the utmost confidence in her lover—Azami had come out of her match on top! The night and day after had been lovely, with plenty of play wrestling and sexy times between the two champions to celebrate Azami’s acquisition of her belt. Janet purred and smiled as she thought of all of them.

But now, Azami was on a press junket, answering questions, taking promotional photographs with her belt, and all of that. Janet remembered doing something similar when she had first won her Entropy title belt. She had let Azami go off on her own to enjoy her day in the limelight, and suddenly, Janet found herself completely free, with nothing pressing to do and a whole five-star beachfront resort in front of her. The spa, the casino, the world-class restaurants…all were tempting, but Janet couldn’t resist the siren song of the resort’s most famous amenity: the white sand beach.

Janet strutted along the sand, wearing a little purple bikini which showed off quite a bit of skin. She had her sunglasses on, a beach towel in one hand, and a cold, sweating bottle of grape soda in the other. She was going to find a nice spot and stake her claim to it, soak up some of the sun’s rays, and enjoy a little time in the surf.

Sitting on the beach, knees pulled up to her chest, arms around her knees, Silver Ace sighed aloud, looking out at the clear blue day and the bright sun, happy peaople playing in the waves, while all she could do was feel sad.

Summer Splash had been a disaster. She failed to perform in the match, had lost the match for her team, and had fought and broken up with Valley all in the same night. Since then, rather than going back to Japan, Ace had stayed in America a few extra days, not sure if she even wanted to go back, not after that performance.

Trying to make herself feel better, she decided to go to the beach, hoping the change in scenery and some time in the sun and sand might help lift her spirits...but so far it hadn't, Ace still feeling bad. If anything the only change was irritation at the guys on the beach casting lewd looks her way, Ace having worn a blue one piece swimsuit, that fit nice and tight against her slim body.

Janet had barely seen Azami the day of Summer Splash. She wished the blue-haired beauty luck when she left their hotel room in the morning, and then didn’t get a chance to talk with her again until after she had won the hentai title. Janet had spent those long hours taking in the other matches which led up to Azami’s title shot.

Far from the least exciting among those had been the tag match between Lu Jiao Jocelyn and Allison Watson on the one side and Silver Ace and Valley Doll on the other. Janet had not been very familiar with any of the wrestlers before the match, but the exciting contest had succeeded in piquing her interest. She was certain to remember their faces the next time she came across one of them and, as it turned out, that would be quite a bit sooner than she had anticipated.

There didn’t seem to be too many AFW wrestlers out on the beach today. At least, there weren’t many right now. But there was Janet, and, as she kept walking up the beach, she would find at least one other. One who was none too happy, by the looks of it. It was understandable—as Janet knew, Silver Ace’s team had lost the match. But she thought that maybe something else was bothering the girl.

Well, obviously, that was none of her business. But Janet could still say hello and maybe try to cheer the girl up a little without prying into whatever was eating at her.

“I thought all the other wrestlers might have left already. I haven’t seen too many today,” she would say, smiling and gesturing amiably with her soda bottle to Ace.

"Hmm? Oh...uh, yeah, I think most of them went back to Japan already..."

Ace said as she looked up at whoever was talking to her, blinking as she thought she recognized the girl.

"Umm...Your...Lakota right? The Entropy Champion?"

She asked, curious as to why one of AFW's champions was just hanging out on the beach in American days after a PPV she wasn't booked on ended.

“It’s kind of silly, you know,” Janet would say. “Going back to Japan right after Summer Splash is over, I mean. They don’t expect anyone to get back in the ring for a week or two at least after this. Sure, there’s jet lag to consider, but why not spend an extra day or two relaxing and enjoying the beach rather than going right back to Tokyo and slipping back into life like nothing even happened?” She shrugged.

The light-haired girl looked up at Janet, and the Native American wrestler smiled a little wider, showing her white teeth. Silver Ace knew who she was, evidently. She was probably wondering what Janet was doing here, too, since she hadn’t been fighting in Summer Splash this year. “That’s right, that’s right. Lady Lakota in the ring. I just go by Janet usually, though. I was just here to have fun. And to support my girlfriend Azami—she was in the main event hentai title match.”

"Ah. That explains it then....AFW pays its champions way, but the rest of us only had hotel rooms booked for Summer splash. I've been paying for my own room the last couple days."

Ace replied, grumbling a little about that.

"Your girlfriend huh? I heard she won last night...congrats for her...just wish I could say the same thing about me and my girlfriend...well...Ex girlfriend now..."


She sighed again, looking out onto the surf.

“Really?” Janet asked, raising an eyebrow. She was a little surprised that AFW wouldn’t cover a couple days of room fees after the event for its wrestlers. It hadn’t been an issue for her when she wanted to get her and Azami’s stay extended by a few days. She had assumed it was the same for all of the girls here. The fact that it wasn’t didn’t sit too well with her.

That wasn’t very important right now, though. The conversation was moving in a different direction. “Thank you. I’ll convey your congratulations to her,” the Native American girl replied. Her smile would fade a little, though, as Ace mentioned her own match. The ending to that one had certainly been disappointing. Janet hadn’t been too familiar with either team, but there was something distasteful about the team which Ace and Valley faced off against. Janet had been rooting for the silver-haired girl.

“I was sorry to see you lose. I was pulling for you,” Janet said, trying to find something to say. She knew that, as a stranger, she couldn’t do a very good job of cheering Ace up, but she could at least try. When she heard what had happened after the match, though, Janet wasn’t quite sure how to proceed from there.

“I’m…I’m really sorry. It’s happened to me before. That…it sucks. It really does,” Janet would say.

"Hmm. Thanks...It's just a thing."

She replied, not sure what to say about it, one hand making depressed circles in the sand. She had nothing against the girl, just felt awkward.

Janet wasn’t quite sure how to help her fellow wrestler. She didn’t know if she could help her. Ace was giving her very little to go off of in terms of what she wanted Janet to do—the Lakota couldn’t quite tell if the silver-haired girl wanted to be left alone or wanted some company during what was obviously a hard time for her. Ace herself might not even know. When Janet had gone through breakups in the past, she had felt that surge of powerful, conflicting emotions that made her uncertain how to act towards others.

“…I hear ya.” Janet figured that simple response was the best she could do. Slowly, she would lower herself down onto the sand, sitting a couple of feet away from Ace. She didn’t want to intrude on the girl’s personal space, but she still figured that she might need some company. Janet held out her grape soda bottle. “Do you want some? It’s good. Cold. I promise I’m not sick or anything, so it should be fine for you to drink it.”
