Catch Your Breath

Wrestling Trick #102: Overselling.

Oh, Ace's slap hurt like fire on Valley chest, and she wasn't faking the pain. But she was a wee bit less stunned by it than she let on, and she made sure to keep her eye open just a tad as she winced. With her back heading towards the corner, looking so vulnerable, she had a good idea what her young lover was going to try, and a sly smile crossed her lips as soon as that pretty little head went down.

When Silver Ace charged forward, Valley popped up and spun to the side, giving her nothing but an unforgiving post to charge into. Not the most pleasant of collisions for Hayley, but she did want the kid gloves taken off.

Ace's dive carried her forward, through the now empty turnbuckle ropes, her thin body leaving little way for her to stop herself, smacking shoulder first into the metal turnbuckle, her body turning and falling over the middle rope onto the ring apron itself.

She lay there for a few moments, nursing her sore shoulder, checking to make sure she hadn't accidentally dislocated or injured it. Grabbing the ropes, she pulled herself up, getting to her feet and rubbing her shoulder.

"Damn...You'd think that padding would have slowed you down a little..."

"Pfft." Valley backed away and danced on her toes, rubbing her chest to ease the stinging pain while she waited for Haley to get back up. "In your dreams, party girl."

The strategic move would've been to go for Haley's shoulder, target the clear weakness with some strong blows and a hold. But even though they'd said they weren't holding back, this was still a spar, and Valley wouldn't send her girlfriend to the hospital with a dislocated shoulder if she could get away with it. Besides, there were many more tempting targets to go for.

While Haley was busy rubbing her shoulders and holding onto the ropes, her head was wide open, and that's what Valley went for. She did a quick run to the nearby ropes on the other side of the turnbuckle, jumped on the middle one, bounced backwards. She twisted in the air as she felw and swung her leg out in a wide arc, trying to hit Haley in the back of the head with a springboard enziguiri.

"I'M the party girl? You're the one from Californi-AGH!"

Haley fell forward, off the ring apron and out of the ring, holding the back of her head and groaning, rubbing the back of her head. It took her a couple moments, but she managed to get back up and roll herself into the ring, pushing herself up back to her feet, still a little wobbly after that move.

"Erghh...did anybody get the number of that...bitch?"

She said, not mad, but certainly a little agitated now, eager to not be her Doll's kicking bag.

Valley landed on her side after the kick and rolled to her feet, rising up to a low crouch, poised and ready to strike. As she watched Haley get back up and start to make her way back in, she had to resist real temptation to keep from jumping over the ropes and coming at her with a tope, hitting her with a lot of flash and making her crash and burn on the outside of the ring. She managed to keep it in check. Just a spar, no need to bust out the rare china, especially when there weren't paying customers around.

Instead she waited for Silver Ace to get back inside the ring, and then she went back on the attack. The Slamazon knew her girlfriend had to be getting a little tired of the kicks by now, but she had one more she had to get in. Just one.

Valley stepped in fast and brought her leg up in a wide arc, a roundhouse kick tailor made for Haley's chest. A little payback for the chop, in her own style.

Haley was lucky, this time able to see Valley stepping in towards her, anticipating she would throw yet another kick her way.

Quickly, she dropped, ducking her body and head low, Valley's leg just skimming over her head, a near miss.

Reaching out, she grabbed Valley's other leg, trying to give it a pull and trip her off her feet!

And, apparently, Valley went to the well one too many times - a shame, really, but she was still set on avenging her breasts before the day was through.

"Gah!" She hit the floor hard on her chest and went into a roll, trying to tumble forward and put some distance between her and Haley before the spry, young wrestler could capitalize. Not likely to get her too much of an advantage, but she knew better than to stop moving when the Silver Ace was behind her.

Haley groaned. She had planned to apply that same ankle lock that beat Alaina on Valley, figuring it could work again for an effective two second hold, but the blonde slipped away first.

Getting up, Haley followed after her, keeping her arms up as she slowly approached, trying to close the distance so she could grab at her again.

Valley rollled forward and saw Haley coming from behind as she did, closing the distance on her fast. Smart, not giving her a second to breath or even turn around. Against most opponents, that would work like a charm. But Valley had a little secret weapon.

She did a kip up out of the roll, popped to her feet, then immediately backflipped, swinging her legs up in an arc to hit Haley with one of her favorite signatures - the Pelé Kick!.

Ace barely saw it coming, about to grab Valley when a foot smacked her in the top of the head, dropping her flat onto her back, groaning and rubbing her head.

"ughh....the fuuuuuck..."
