"La Boulette" by Diam's started playing on the arena when Claire Eziyar appeared on top of the ramp, clad in her usual white bikini top and matching shorts. The crowd cheered at her entrance, and she smiled and waved back to them as ran down the ramp towards the ring. Thanks to her hard work and her popularity among the fans, the white-haired fighter had been recently earned the fifth place in AFW's top ten ranking, so she was very excited with the progress she was making on the federation. She'd probably have to work even harder to keep her placing, though, because she'd just been scheduled to fight another ranked wrestler.

Claire quickly climbed up the ring and, after walking around it once and greeting the crowd again, went to her corner. "Okay... I've made it this far. Now that i have fans, I can't disappoint them! Just relax... focus..." She started making a series of stretches in her corner, preparing herself for the opponent that would soon come.

"Fire Woman" By The Cult began playing throught the arena as Kelly Conway made her way to the ring after a flare of fireworks greeted her entrance. Making her way down the mat with a confident smirk on her face, wearing a red tank top, with matching shorts, pads, and boots; nothing too flashy, save for the fact the vain blonde wore nothing but her favorite color, which was red.

Wrestling Fans have always hated the Conway's. They hated Kelly's Grandfather, They hated her Father, and of course They hated Kelly as well, who spared no expense in showering the girl with a barrage of booes from just about everyone in the arena. But Kelly didnt care, she took in their hate with with a wide grin; their hate for her was like fuel to the blonde, making her only want to win more in order to basicially deliver a giant middle finger to every single person who hated her guts once she won this match and earned the rank of #5 in friction.

Kelly had suckish record of 3 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses here in Friction. It was the kinda record that made Kelly sob all night to herself when she was alone, hating herself for being sucha loser in the ring and bringing such disgrace to her family. But Kelly was determined to change herself, she was determined to win and prove her worth to her family, herself and to the world by becoming a champion someday, but before she could do that, Kelly would have to work her way up and defeat her opponent.

"Im not a loser, Im not a loser, Im not a loser, Im not a loser, Im not a loser." Kelly would chant to herself, trying to hammer in the thought of being a winner into her brain as she slowly climbed into the ring and stared at her opponent while she continued her mental chanting which slowly ate at Kelly's mind, as she began to slowly succumb to her anger. Her rage would build more and more as time went on before the blonde finally snapped and yelled her thoughts at Claire. "I AM NOT A LOSER! I AM NOT A LOSER!! I AM A CONWAY! I AM A WINNER!!!!" Kelly would roar with her adreneline pumping like a mad beast before she came to her senses and blushed at her actions as she slowly mutter; "*Ahem* Im ok..."

As Claire finished her stretches and saw her opponent appearing, she felt pumped up and ready to fight. She thought she was ready for anything. And she was wrong. She wasn't at all prepared for the boos that suddenly erupted from the audience, raining down mercilessly on the blonde girl. Taken with surprise, Claire then wondered seriously for the first time what kind of person she was going to fight.

She saw Kelly climb up to the ring and noticed that the first thing her opponent did was stare fixedly at her. Uneasy, she tried to break the awkward silence. "Um... hello. I'm-" She was, then, cut short by Kelly's explosion. "Hey! Hey! Calm down. No need to shout." Claire thought she didn't look very calm - or sane, for that matter - but she figured it was anxiousness that was making her act like that. She stepped forward, offering her hand to Kelly and looking as dignified as she could after hearing that scream. "I am Claire. Claire Eziyar. Feeling calmer now?"

Kelly would shake her head after having that little 'episode', and would then yell back at Claire from across the ring in her corner. "I Am Calm!!" The blonde would yell, who seemed to be dealing with a bit of stress from her wrestling career, and a strong desire to become a champion and not a laughing stock for having the worst record in the league. She then took the time to actually look at her opponent and dub her as; "Nothing Special" dispite the fact that Kelly found Claire's white hair to be quite 'interesting'.

Kelly would approach Claire and shake the girl's hand with a firm grip as she looked into the white haired girl's eyes with a determined look on her face. "Claire Eziyar, My name is Kelly Conway of The Conway Wrestling Family. You may be firmiliar with my father, Mike Conway who wrestled in the 80's and early 90's. And if you dont know him or me you must be living under a dense rock! But Yeah im feeling better... Just ignore that little 'outburst' you saw, kay?" Kelly would say, to her opponent, with serious eyes and a confident smirk on her face.

Claire shook hands firmly with Kelly, looking at her opponent. She wondered if she was always this prone to yelling, or if it was just the stress of the upcoming match. Truth is, she was feeling a bit nervous too, but seeing Kelly somehow reassured her. At the very least, she knew she wouldn't be facing her nervousness alone, as Kelly was possibly in more need of reassurance than she herself was.

Claire serached her mind as Kelly spoke. Conway... the name was not unfamiliar to her, but even if she recongnized the name, she didn't know much about Kelly's father. Still, she didn't want to oppose her. "Mike Conway, huh? I've heard that name before. But I think I haven't seen you before, though. Maybe I should start watching more TV", Claire said, ignoring the remark about the rock. This match was serious business, and there was no space for bickering.

Claire then smiled back when she saw Kelly's smirk. It seemed she was getting her confidence back. "Don't worry. I'll pretend I didn't see that." Looking into Kelly's eyes, Claire then held Kelly's hand with both hands. "Let's do our best. We have no time for insecurity here, right?" She would then let go of her hand and go back to her corner to wait for the bell.

"Pssshht... If you really dont know me then You really do live under a rock! Im all over the place." Kelly would scoff to her opponent with a smirk, finding it nearly impossible for anyone in the AFW not to know her name. Although she did accept that Claire at least 'knew' her father, whom Kelly saw as the only person more known in wrestling world than her.

Kelly wouldnt be able to do anything but raise an eyebrow and give Clair a very perplexed look, finding it odd that this girl would get all friendly out of the blue like that as the white haired girl suddenly cupped her extended hand. "Uh, Yeah... Right.... Sure..." Kelly would mutter with a nervous smile, trying to act polite for the moment as Claire held Kelly's hand. Upon having her hand released and seeing Claire go back to her corner, Kelly's face would form a slight sneer, looking back over her shoulder at Claire before whispering "Wierdo." quietly to herself.

As Kelly marched back to her corner she began to reassure herself that she could in fact win this match and no longer consider herself to be a loser, But a winner instead. Hoping to one day become the champion she had always dreamed of becoming. Kelly knew her fight wouldnt be easy, but she wasnt going down without a fight. "I'll Give Her The Ol' Pedigree!" Kelly would exclaim to herself with a grin before she arrived at her corner and turned to face her opponent with a determined look on her face as she awaited the start of the match.

The bell rang, and Kelly quickly began stomping out of her corner, marching heavily towards Claire, intending to meet in the center of the ring or in Claire's own corner if she didnt move. Kelly would advance would be light and quick, and she was in range she'd go for a quick lockup with Claire, hoping to start the match casually.

Claire waited for the bell to ring, looking at Kelly from her corner. She had patience with the girl's antics, but her last comment had irked her a bit; she tried her best not to let it get to her. All that mattered now was the match; once they started fighting, whether her opponent was a big boaster or not would be of no importance.

As the bell rang, Claire advanced as well, but in a manner different from Kelly's stomping. She went forward in a swift but cautious way, with her body shifted slightly to the side, ready to either box or grapple in reaction to Kelly's moves. In the end, both wrestlers met at the center of the ring, and the match really began.

Claire accepted Kelly's lockup and grabbed her shoulders, while letting the blonde do the same to her. She would push back for a while, seeing if she could gauge Kelly's strength from the lockup, but regardless she would soon change her tactic for something more offensive. Claire would suddenly step back, as if pushed by Kelly's strength, but then turn around and try to irish whip Kelly into the ropes behind her!

Kelly Conway marched herself down towards Claire with her boots crashing down on the mat with every stomping step she took until she would finally reach Claire to lock up with the white haired girl.

"Not gonna lose..." Kelly would mutter quietly under her breath, still trying to keep herself focused on winning, however the blonde seemed to underestimate Claire due to getting whipped into the ropes rather quickly and easily. "Shit!" Kelly cursed to herself, as she ran towards the ropes, before turning her back and springing off of them, Kelly was now heading right back towards Claire, unable to stop herself from running.

After Claire whipped Kelly towards the ropes, she didn't simply wait until she returned. Not wasting a second, the white-haired wrestler ran in the opposite direction and bounced off the ropes as well. Now, both fighters were getting closer at an alarming speed.

Claire ran back without hesitation, just as if she wanted to trample Kelly over. When they were close, she then extended her arm and turned a bit to the left, aiming a strong clothesline across Kelly's chest.

While Kelly Conway was the farthest thing from the world's greatest wrestler, she had enough experience to at least predict what Claire was trying to do. Seeing that her opponent was running right at her, Kelly would bring her arms up and cross them over her chest in an effort to protect herself as the blonde went to take the clothesline head-on.

"Gah!!" Grunted Kelly as her body rattled with the impact of Claire's clothesline, knocking the blonde off her feet and sending her down to the canvas. Kelly would however rotate her body to face the mat as she fell and would plant her hands down to cushion her fall. Waisting no time, Kelly sprung foreward towards Claire before lashing her leg out, trying to sweep Claire's feet out from under her. Attempting to bring the white haired girl to the canvas where Kelly Conway was waiting.
