[Standard Match] Margarita Jorgensen vs Amber Addison - Let The Star Fall

“Sorry, I'm late,” Victoria said as she walked into the locker room and closed the door behind her, she had just finished a business meeting and was hurrying here with all her might, “I hope you're warmed up and ready to go out… oh…”

Victoria suddenly fell silent when she saw her ward. Margarita was sitting on a bench, dressed only in sports underwear, and in front of her lay two sets of attires. The Danish girl joined her palms in a lock, putting her elbows on her knees, and looked at these attires with a completely empty look. Victoria sighed softly but heavily. Only a few could understand what was happening now, but she perfectly understood what the problems were and why they were in such a situation. The Englishwoman walked to the pink-haired girl, her heels tapping loudly in the empty locker room.

“Black has never been your color,” she said, sitting down next to Margarita and putting her file folder aside, “so I think the choice is obvious.”
“For me, that choice doesn't seem obvious,” the former actress said, glancing at her manager.

The brown-haired woman sighed again and adjusted her glasses. After everything that happened to her ward, she no longer knew how she could cheer her up. After even Sintharia was unable to help the Danish girl, Victoria for the first time in a long time lost all hope. And now, sitting next to the one whom she considered the kindest and brightest person in her life, she literally felt pain in her heart. Victoria took Margarita's palms in hers and looked straight into her eyes, smiling softly.

“Do you remember what you told me when we first met? When you persuaded your parents to find a manager for you. I then asked why you want to wrestle? You were a great actress. Do you remember what you told me then?"
“I told you I want to see smiles on people's faces. I want them to look at me and smile because I want to be the one who makes this world brighter and happier,” she replied.
“Yes, that's right,” Victoria smiled, feeling that Margarita's palms were cold as ice, “I believed in your dream and I still believe in it. I'm sorry that your career took such a dark path. I didn't think Eka would treat you like a child during your debut. And I did not even suspect that Alaina would humiliate you in this way. Trust me, I know better than anyone what it means to lose a dream. I also had a dream and I lost it due to circumstances beyond my control. That's why I try to take care of all of you. And I will continue to believe in you and your dream. Now you are disappointed in yourself, I know. But you were made to shine, you were made to make this world a little better. Someone gets their chance just like that, because he is lucky. But people like you should always go ahead because only people like you are capable of making real history. You will never receive a gift from fate, but I believe that you yourself will receive what you dream of. And I will support you. Not because I am your manager, but because you are like a daughter to me and I believe in your dream."

Tears had been pouring down Margarita's face for a long time, and her lower lip was trembling as if during an earthquake. The Danish girl began to sob and then hugged Victoria, one of two people who never lost faith in her. The Englishwoman also felt several salty drops running under her glasses. This is the only thing she could do for the kindest and brightest person among her girls.

“Now,” said the manager, pushing Margarita’s black attire aside, “I want you to do a few things. I want you to smile at me the way only you can. I want you to put on your white attire, go out to the audience and fill their hearts with warmth. I want you to win this match and become the Margarita you should be again. I want you to start shining again and become the brightest star in the AFW sky as you always wanted. I know that sometimes the black streak lasts too long. So long that you no longer believe that this black streak will end. But I am sure that once you win today, you will regain confidence in yourself and can return to your path again. The path that will bring you to the hearts of people."
“Uuuuuaaa…” sobbed Margarita, unable to contain the emotions that washed over her, “uua… uuuuuaaa… tha… thank you… thank you, Victoria!”

Taking a deep breath, Margarita closed her eyes, and then she smiled broadly, illuminating everything with her smile. And Victoria could not help smiling back, at last she saw Margarita as she should be. An eternally cheerful and eternally smiling girl, whose pure and sincere dreams made her see something good in the world around her again.

The Danish girl rose from her seat and wiped the tears from her face. Victoria was right, today she had a work to do. The pink-haired girl hid the black attire back in her bag and then weared her classic suit, which was her trademark. Of course, one conversation could not wash away everything that happened after she came here. But now the heart of the former actress was filled with gratitude for the support that Victoria gave her. Like Charlotte, Victoria was always there and never lost faith in her. And Margarita had no right to let them down. Quickly washing her face, the Sea Star smiled at her reflection. She had already begun to forget what it was to smile sincerely, but today she hoped that her smile would bring her not only victory, but also help her regain confidence in the future that she had lost. Margarita went to the exit from the locker room, while Victoria watched her go.

"By the way, who is Hideko?" asked Margarita, turning to the manager.
“Oh, you have long ears if you're asking this question,” Victoria laughed slightly, “I will tell you after your victory.”
"Then I won't keep you waiting!" said the Danish girl happily.

Margarita left the locker room, leaving Victoria alone with the thought that she would give everything in order to always see this smile on Margarita's face. The Danish girl walked along a long dark corridor, but already from here she could hear the screams of the crowd. A small shiver ran down the back of the former actress. She was sure that many did not even know what she had to go through, and therefore she was sure that she would be greeted as well as during previous matches. But she wasn't sure she could be the same girl she was when she first came here. Let Victoria's words be gentle and warm, but she couldn't forget about everything in an instant. The Sea Star paused in front of the curtains and took a deep breath. No, she must. Not only for herself, but for all of them. She must.

"To the dream!" she told to herself.

Attire:

Entrance Music:

Her music began and the Danish girl came out from behind the curtains. It seemed to her that it was an eternity since her last match, which one severely undermined her self-confidence. But now, when she again heard the cheering applause of the audience, Margarita could not contain a wide and radiant smile. The young girl turned to the audience sideways, slightly bent her knees, placing her hands on them, and then she playfully stuck out her tongue. After that, she raised both hands to greet everyone in this hall.

The girl began to descend the ramp, bouncing cheerfully at every step and blowing kisses to the audience. She rejoiced at every flash of the camera and could not help but rejoice, seeing the smiles of people around. Perhaps Victoria was really right. Perhaps after the black stripe, the time has finally come when she needs to take only one step forward in order to find again what she lost. Stopping at the commentators' table, the pink-haired girl looked at the ring. Yes, exactly, only one step.

Margarita took the microphone from the table, and then began to run towards the ring. Rolling under the lower ropes, she quickly jumped to her feet, moving towards the center of the ring. Her music drew to a close and the Danish girl raised her hands with a smile on her face, urging the audience to join their applause. Before the final chord, the Sea Star made a split, spreading her arms to the sides. Her heart was beating very fast, the applause filled her with enthusiasm and hope. The young girl got to her feet, once again smiling radiantly at the audience.

“Yaa-, Tokio! Hisashiburi desu ne!” she said affably, again accepting a standing ovation. “I hope everyone is in a good mood today because I came here today for two things. Today I want to have fun and today I want to see smiles on your faces! So let's together enjoy this evening and every evening that comes! Watashi wa min'na o aishiteimasu!”

Margarita bowed and then went up to the referee girl to greet her and give her the microphone. When everything was done, the pink-haired girl went to her corner, where she took off her jacket, she didn't want anything to hinder her movements today. In order to reclaim herself what she had lost, she must to lay out everything she had and perhaps a little more. Victoria was not mistaken when she said that she herself would have to pave her way. And so she decided that this day should be her first step towards recovery from everything that happened to her.

When the music of her rival began, Margarita turned her head to the side, watching the brown-haired girl energetically approaching the ring. She received a lot more support than the Danish girl, which was not surprising. Victoria has always tried to provide her wards with all available information about the approaching rivals. However, it was enough for Margarita to hear only that the girl with whom she was going to face today had a very successful debut.

She has not forgotten how warmly she was greeted before the start of the first match. And she perfectly remembered the colder applause during the second match. And even now, she did not have to strain her memory in order to understand that the audience is not very interested in watching those who came to the company and just started losing matches. This was one of the reasons why the pink-haired girl began to despair. She saw no reason to live without smiles and applause from her fans, but each new match brought her closer and closer to being greeted not with applause, but with ironic laughter. That is why today she had to keep the promise she made to Victoria and herself.

Looking at how warmly the audience greeted the brown-haired girl, Margarita for a moment felt a certain prick in the region of her heart. Usually it wasn't in her temperament, but it sounded too much like jealousy. The pink-haired girl shook her head slightly, driving away these thoughts, today she should not think about such things, today she needed to focus on taking a step forward. Soon, her rival will rise to the ring and the match will begin. A match that will finally help her get out of the hole in which she was from the first day here.

Judging by the appearance of the American girl, Margarita was counting on some pretty good greeting, so she prepared to go to the center of the ring in order to at least shake her opponent's hand before the start of the match. But what happened after the brown-haired girl stepped into the ring was completely different from what the Danish girl was preparing for. Margarita blinked several times in surprise, listening to the words of the girl who called herself Amber. Considering that Eka treated her like a baby, and Alaina treated her like a piece of... now it was all unexpected for her. Especially considering that Amber was familiar with the work of Margarita before AFW. The girl smiled a little embarrassedly.

“Nice to meet you, Amber,” she said reaching out and accepting a handshake, “as far as I can see, you already know my name.”

She, of course, met several people in Tokyo who also recognized her from the crowd. However, it was not at all like what it was now. Meeting with a person who started her career much more successful than she, and who was familiar with her filmmaking, the Danish girl felt a little strange. However, it was nice anyway. For an instant, she found herself in the days when she was greeted on the red carpet. It was one of the few opportunities to see the fans for real. And it was also one of the reasons why she came here. Here she wanted to see the smiles of fans every day. So far, she has only brought disappointment to those who believed in her, but she was going to fix it, today.

“Nice to know that you liked my films and TV series,” letting go of the brown-haired girl's hand, she said, “let's make it a really good match. Good luck, Amber."

After a mutual greeting, the girl-referee invited the wrestlers to the center of the ring. Margarita stepped forward, leaving a few meters of free distance between her and Amber. The Sea Star took a deep breath, today was a very important day. She did not want to spend her whole life at the bottom of the rating, listening only ridicule in her direction. Victoria was right, no one will ever give her a chance, she will have to do everything herself. And in order for the audience to greet her again as warmly as they greeted her rival, she must do everything in her power today.

Margarita put her right leg one step back, she raised her right fist to the level of the chin, and left her left fist at the level of the middle of the torso. She nodded curtly when the referee asked about readiness. Yes, she was ready. If not today, then perhaps never again. Therefore, the pink-haired girl was determined to finally take her first victory.

Ding-Ding-Ding.

In hindsight, Margarita would have preferred it to be a ordinary match. But fate once again presented her with a kind of gift for which she was not ready. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the fact that her current rival was familiar with the film career of the Danish girl. However, now the Sea Star felt her heart beating faster than usual. After talking with Victoria, it became a little easier for her, she promised to finally win her first match and this promise allowed her to at least partially forget about the two previous humiliating defeats.

There is always a chance of losing. But now that she's confronted with who might be called a fan of hers, the former actress has begun to think about the possible outcome again. And these thoughts were not rosy. A shiver and chill ran through her body as she imagined the consequences of her possible failure. Against the backdrop of losing to a fan, even her debut may seem like a pretty good match.

The world was a very sad place, it was a known fact. But it was here that Margarita felt it on herself. Living in negative colors was not for her, she was not like that. But when she had to face all this, she literally began to lose herself. It might have been too narcissistic to think that way, but she really could agree with Victoria's words. She, too, believed that she was born to shine and make people happy. But for some reason, when she came here, absolutely everything turned against her. And instead of starting to shine, she fell somewhere very, very deep. And she was ready to sell her soul in order to see at least a faint ray of light.

When the American girl confirmed her readiness, the referee raised her hand and then quickly dropped it. The bell rang and at the same time the audience shouted, anticipating the match. Margarita took a deep breath in order to drive away all these thoughts, and then rushed forward, following her tradition. The fact that she shamefully lost two matches did not cancel her ardent disposition. Taking the first step with her right leg, she shifted her weight onto that leg.

“I just need to win. The rest is not important, ”she said to herself mentally, “I just need to win today and I will be myself again, I will believe in myself again. I just need to win."

It was with this thought that she began to lift her left leg, it was very likely that now she would try to send a fairly simple, but very fast, middle or high kick to her opponent. However, she suddenly lowered that leg back onto the mat, placing her left foot just to the right of her right foot.

This allowed her to start rotating around her own axis. Even though she stopped training with Charlotte, she was still the one who could improvise. And so now her right leg began to rise into the air. Now the Danish girl was going to send a sudden spinning heel kick to her opponent's head, not forgetting to bend the leg in the knee at the end in order to put maximum speed into the kick and increase its effectiveness.

For a split second, the Danish girl experienced déjà vu. As soon as her foot hit her rival's head, the hall was filled with noise. This is how it all began the time she first stepped into this ring. Then the Georgian girl ran at her like a wild panther, but she was able to stop her with a sudden kick, which was appreciated by the public. At that time, it marked the beginning of a very successful start, which then turned into a real torture, which the former actress did not want to remember.

Let the first impression of Margarita noticeably cooled, but not everyone has forgotten how selflessly and effectively she may fight. The pink-haired girl put her right foot back on the mat and the corners of her lips lifted slightly. While her opponent, clearly stunned, took a few steps back, the audience was pleased with the active start of the match. Well, at least this the Sea Star could give them, which means it's not time to stand still.

The former actress rushed forward, giving her rival no time to rest. Today was an important day and she was not going to lose for the third time in a row. The time has come to break this cursed circle. After the second defeat, she trained, sparing no effort. And now she was ready to prove that she had not come here to listen, that someday she would finally deserve her victory. Not. Not someday, but today.

"Hyaaaaa!" in a fit of emotion, she screamed, pushing off with both feet from the mat.

The Danish girl was about to draw her knees to her chest while leaning back. Possessing not only speed, but also incredible strength for her very compact size, Margarita was going to put both of these things into this movement. She was counting on the fact that after the first kick, her rival would not have time to react in time. After all, in that case, the Sea Star was going to straighten both legs in the direction of Amber's chest, hoping to hit this girl with an explosive dropkick!
