It's been awhile... (Tammy and Sindel)

Even though Sindel mentioned that she could possibly fall asleep from this, it didnâ€t stop Tammy from lightly petting Sindel along the top of the head, still holding her close. She was glad that her friend could get comfortable, having a feeling that the girl never got much of a chance to relax like this. In fact, she was starting to realize that Sindel really was the type to push herself more than she wanted to admit. Through the gentle stroking along her soft white hair, Tammy felt that scar on her head… it wasnâ€t too bad, but the old wound still worried Tammy, making her wonder just what this girl put herself through all the time. Even during Tammyâ€s beating, there were no scars or lasting injuries, and she just needed a long rest and a few days at the hospital. But Sindel… with wounds like these, the girl must have really been pushing herself hard.

“Is there… any way I can help it end?” Tammy asked with a small frown. She could really hear the sincerity in Sindelâ€s voice when she said that she wanted peace, and Tammy longed for the same thing. Not as much for herself, Tammy truly wanted to just stay neutral. But if it was to help her own friend stay safe too, then Tammy wanted to help. She didnâ€t want one of the only people she cared about to get hurt. Overall, in this short amount of time, Tammy was really feeling more and more drawn to Sindel, caring about the safety of her new friend. “I mean… if thereâ€s anything I can do, let me know, okay? My apartmentâ€s really small, but if you ever need to hide out there. Or if youâ€re having trouble in a match…” She trailed off a little, surprised with what she was saying next, since it was against her normal code of conduct for wrestling. “Then I guess I just might rush in and help.” Her lips turned into a small smile, and she used her one arm to pull Sindel closer to relax, her larger breasts cushioning Sindelâ€s head still, as she saw her starting to close her eyes a little. Tammy even craned her head a little to the side, looking at Sindelâ€s face some as they spoke. “I just donâ€t understand why everyone has to fight like this. I mean… itâ€s supposed to be a sport. Iâ€ll try helping, but you shouldnâ€t have to do these things..”

Sindel could only smile so warmly because of the innocence that lied in Tammy's words, pressing more into her, nestling her head against her breasts, she let out a soft sigh, maybe it was time for Sindel to let out a piece of her mind, to give Tammy something to work it, for now it was mainly Tammy who spoke out from her heart, something Sindel couldn't appreciate.. There was a time that Sindel had always done that, to that special person she saw as a big sister, who was there for her through thick and thin, who kept Sindel from living like.. This.. " Someday the dream will end.. " She spoke it out softly, ironically from a song she liked, had become reality for her, the day her dream ended, she could see just how much it affected her and how the song sung it's truth. " I once lived in a dream.. Thanks to someone I saw as a big sister.. Who supported me and didn't let me return to be a heel.. She dissapeared.. Even now I long for her return but I know she won't accept what I have become.. " She then grabbed Tammy's hand, pressing her palm against the back of Tammy's hand and entwined her fingers inbetween hers, pulling the arm back around her waist.

" Tammy, up untill now I've never had a chance to rest.. I was working hard for a better future, even if it is on the wrong side..I know I can't turn back anymore. " She then nestled further back, and brought her head a little up so she could press her cheek just above her breasts, her eyes coming to a full close. " Dreams are nice.. But they stop at some point.. You have to wake up, work hard for a new dream to sleep with.. I still have a long way ahead of me.. But thanks to you.. I can atleast rest and carry on.. Just not alone anymore.. " Her voice was soft, almost just as innocent and light like it was a while back, before everything had happened, before the departure with Seraphim, this was what she needed, she needed to speak with someone, someone she could trust and find comfort in, and all that hesitation, trying to hide that side of herself from Tammy, had lifted and she spilled bit by bit, untill the puzzle that Sindel had created, was complete.

For a moment, Tammy found herself swaying her hips slightly and adjusting the way she sat, feeling a little enticed by the pressure along her chest. Sindelâ€s head was leaned back in a way that it started to mushroom out Tammyâ€s breasts a little, and the girl had let out a slow, shaky exhale for a moment, trying not to get excited from the firm contact against her bosom. She enjoyed having Sindel around, but she wasnâ€t quite ready for anything like that. At least… maybe not yet. She still remembered how at the end of her last match, Tammy and Sindel did promise some time together in that manner, but it had been months since then, she didnâ€t know if Sindel still was okay with that, or had someone else. Regardless, as she kept the girl close like this, tenderly having her stay close, Tammy didnâ€t stop stroking through Sindelâ€s hair, at least, not until she heard the girl speak, frowning a little at her solemn words. The dream will end…? What was she talking about? Tammy knew almost every lyric out there, and often she found herself actually recognizing that one from a few titles. But it felt odd to hear it compared in real life. Was Sindel… planning something?

That was when she started to explain. Tammy stayed quiet at first, listening to what her friend had to say. And almost immediately, the frown deepened, and she let out a slow breath, looking down for a moment as her heart felt out for Sindel. She had lost someone important to her, someone who was like family to her and helped her become a better person. Slowly too, as Sindel spoke, she gently grabbed Tammyâ€s hand that was hugging her, and guided her closer to her waist. Tammy stopped petting through the girlâ€s hair at this point, and brought her other arm to that point too. Resting her head into the back of Sindelâ€s shoulders, both hands gently hugged Sindel around the waist now, still careful not to touch anywhere she shouldnâ€t, just letting Sindel know that she cared for her, that she wanted to help. All Sindel seemed to want was for there to be happiness at the end, like a dream coming true near the end of the tunnel of darkness she had to navigate through. And by now, Tammy was beginning to think she understood more, even if it did pain her a bit to know that Sindel was going through this kind of thing. “Sindel…” Her words just trailed off at first, not sure what to say about the girl. Tammy couldnâ€t compare to that kind of struggle. She had a rough life of her own with how she never had friends and her family hardly cared for her, but Sindel sounded like she struggled more than ten-fold to what Tammy had to put up with. “I-Iâ€m sorry… I didnâ€t know it was like that. I... wish I could do something more for you.” Slowly Tammyâ€s hands around Sindelâ€s waist began to hug her a little more tightly. In fact, she gave the girl a quick, loving squeeze, before her hands gently stroked along her abdomen, almost tickling at Sindelâ€s stomach. “But I promise Iâ€ll be there for you as much as I can. I… care about you. A-A lot.”

" .. That's good to know.. " Sindel would look up with a grin, leaning completely into Tammy, she knew the girl would understand. Something about Tammy had Sindel think that she could not only trust her, but she could believe anything she had said, so Sindel was actually really happy when she heard how much Tammy cared for her, it was odd how a match could spark out those feelings but she understood them quite well. She hadn't really thought much of Tammy back then, mostly because she wasn't sure what to make of it, she was confused whether it was love or just thinking it was for fun, it was more confirming into a bigger friendship then it started, and for once, Sindel didn't mind.

Finally Sindel started to shift out of the hug, though she moved into the ring with Tammy instead of sitting at the side of the ring, making sure she was near Tammy again. She sat onto her knees, facing the cute kawaii and soon enough she leant up to kiss Tammy softly on the forehead, then the soft whisper returned. " I can order pizza tonight and you can come crash at my place? " Sindel wanted Tammy's company, somewhere that wasn't near this place, somewhere she could enjoy and have fun with Tammy, laugh with her, play videogames with her, all those kinds of stuff. Perhaps that could actually help Sindel clear her mind, and let Tammy inside of it. " Hey, thanks, I really needed this. I feel all warmed up and charged up. "

Tammy was also just about as confused about how their friendship bloomed as Sindel was. They did have a few connections, but mostly it was because of their match. For Tammy, she still didnâ€t know what lead her to think that way after the match and at the end of it. But when she found out that Sindel was the person who pulled her out from the Locker Room in the unconscious state she was in and helped her, that was what truly made her feel like there was a potential friendship; a feeling she never quite had before, knowing she could trust someone like this.

As Sindel started to shift a bit though in her embrace, suddenly breaking the hug but sitting in front of her on her knees, Tammy blinked a few times, her golden eyes holding a confused look, and her face holding a faint blush once again. But that changed as Sindel started to move her face closer to her own. Tammy almost instinctively reared her head back a little, but Sindel still moved closer, only to end up planting her lips softly upon her forehead, sparking a heated redness a little bit into Tammyâ€s cheeks. “I-Iâ€d like that. My place isnâ€t that great anyway.” Tammy said with a little bit of confusion, blinking vacantly for a few seconds as the kiss left her a little stunned, even if it was just the forehead. Then again, the two had kissed before, and on the lips at the end of their match. But now that she was of a more rational mind, Tammy saw everything like that as an embarrassing but loving act, and slowly as she tried to get on her feet, pulling up by using the ropes, she held her hand to her forehead, rubbing it like there was something there now as her other hand smoothed out her short blue skirt that rested lightly against her thighs.

“You.. donâ€t have to thank me though, Sindel.” Tammy finally said, her cherub cheeks still blushing some, but a smile managing to come back to her face. “You said it yourself, weâ€re friends, right? And um… I may not be good at this kinda thing, but I think thatâ€s what friends are for… right?” Though some may have thought it was rhetoric when she said that, Sindel would notice that Tammy genuinely sounded like she was asking that, attempting to do the right thing with this newfound friendship they had.

Sindel started to collect herself, getting back upon her own two feet and rested back against the ropes with a relaxing sigh, though her eyes remained on Tammy, her own smile never leaving her face. " Well.. We can talk some more when we're at my place eating delicious pizza. " She'd push off the ropes and towards Tammy, stopping right infront of her and brought her hand back up to stroke her thumb lazily over Tammy's cheek, for some reason she couldn't stop being closer to Tammy, maybe she was still in her little trance when Tammy hugged her against her, maybe she wanted more of Tammy, she really wasn't sure anymore, maybe spending more time with the kawaii would aid her into finding that out.

" I believe we still have a spar, hmm? We can turn that into a tiny match we wanted back then. " She'd tease, poking Tammy softly in the cheek while she took a step back and some distance between them, lifting both arms up and to their extend, just so she could yawn out loudly and get herself ready for a spar, to be honest she needed to blow off some steam, mostly the problems and other stuff she had created, she wanted to get rid off and Tammy already made it possible for her to do that, so maybe after a good fight, a fun shower and then a fun night with Tammy, she could forget about it all completely.

The two now on their own feet, standing before eachother, Tammy felt at ease once again, her once blushing expression fading some now as she relaxed some as well. Seeing Sindel casually against the ropes, she couldnâ€t help but smile a little to herself. After hearing what Sindel told her, she could really tell that Sindel had been through a lot, the girl was suffering deeply inside. So for Tammy to know that she was able to give this girl even a bit of peace like this, it made her realize that maybe she wasnâ€t as useless after all, like she was finding a new purpose in this ring as well too. Besides being just friends, maybe they could even be tag-team partners too? It was a small thought in the back of Tammyâ€s mind, and something she really thought about, but for now, she wanted to let it rest in the back of her mind, deciding to bring that up later, wanting the moment to stay on a softer note like this. In fact, Sindel brought up a good point! Pizza tonight~ They could talk over things then, it seemed like a good idea to her. She was a bit of a sucker for fast food and pizza alike. But Tammy got plenty of exercise so she kept her good figure, not to mention she didnâ€t eat much, at most just two meals a day.

“Oh yea, I um… nearly forgot about that.” Rubbing the back of her head a little sheepishly, Tammy tried to ignore the second part of Sindelâ€s words, mentioning the more intimate match between them. But even so, for the fourth time today, Sindel had gotten Tammy flustered, her cheeks reddening just faintly as Sindel poked at them, Tammyâ€s cat-like ears seeming to droop a little as she did. Trying not to think like that though, Tammy started to stretch her arms a little too, wanting to look distracted as she put her arms behind her back, stretching them backwards, causing her ample chest to puff out for Sindel to look at, stretching her shirt some. Letting out a soft breath and feeling more alert again, Tammy even gave a small hop on her own two feet, loosening up a little as she shook her hands a bit, getting herself ready. “Well then, I think Iâ€m about ready. Iâ€ve been thinking, we have two completely separate styles. I was hoping I could pick up a thing or two from you. But I hope you donâ€t mind me tossing you around a bit in the process.” A small smirk of confidence came to Tammy as she said that, feeling ready to go by now, but making sure Sindel was ready. She normally was so dismal and direct in a match, probably simply wishing her opponent for a good match, and then silently fighting. But with Sindel, she was excited, they were so evenly matched in their last match. “Iâ€ll try not to hurt you too much~” She added, her smirk growing, but her voice even having a little chime to it as she placed her feet firmly on the ground now.

Bending her knees some, Tammy kept herself low in a grappler stance. Legs outstretched some and toes digging into the ground, she leaned forward some. Hands out and bent at the elbows, her palms were forward and opened, fingertips curling forward, rather professional in how she maintained her stance, like a classic style of wrestling from how she looked, mixed with Judo. The girl had a determined look on her, those golden eyes looking towards Sindel, but she wasnâ€t here for a victory or to defeat her opponent and cause harm. She was here with Sindel, wanting to have a good spar with her new friend.

Sindel figured that Tammy would have been more shy by now, but it seemed a spar would just do the trick of making this alot more amusing for them both, they did their share of talking, which solidified their trust and friendship in eachother, not they were going to have fun, Sindel was going to use the usual style but softer and slower then she usually does, just to make Tammy learn of her style and mimic it. This was already proving to be fun for Sindel, she couldn't wait to see if Tammy had improved in her own style, getting into her own unique stance and waited untill Tammy was completely ready for the match. After waiting calmly, did Sindel charge forward and towards Tammy, she was making sure Tammy was following her movements before she started her dance, spinning her body around and around, a complete double spin before she sweeped her leg around and straight towards Tammy's sides, though it was not as powerfull, it was still fast enough to do little damage, more to surprise Tammy rather then wound her, but it could be seen as pure taunting and making fun of the cte ittle kawaii.

Sindel could hardly wait to see the development while she was spinning, there was no way she couldn't enjoy this match, it was against someone who she trusted and now taken into high regard but some of the thoughts were also about how Tammy had last taken her down, in a way deemed new for her, well.. There was what Rheena did, which had her left with a broken wrist, but what Tammy did was enjoyable, just not completely thanks to the crowd they were fighting for, with a faint blush did she launch her attack, testing Tammy's reflexes.

She was ready. A little anxious, and a little nervous, but overall, ready. Tammy had a good feeling about this, similar to how Sindel felt. They could actually have a normal match together without any risk of severe harm. And if anything… else happened, there was no crowd watching them. Tammy wouldnâ€t admit it, but it was partly the reason why she reserved a private ring for them. Just in case things ended up getting a bit heated between them, the two teenage girls were in perfect privacy. Part of Tammy was really excited about what would happen after their sparring, the thought of pizza and lounging with her new friend really enticing Tammy. She never really could claim that she had a friend to spend an evening with, and tonight was her first, so she truly hoped for this to be their special day.

For now though, Tammy put those thoughts aside. She was already in a great mood, smiling a lot more often today than she had any other day in her mundane life. And even as she watched Sindel get into her stance, still being in her own, the smile didnâ€t fade at all, just becoming more of a determined smirk. Taking a last check at herself, she smoothed out her skirt, adjusted the tall cat ears, and tossed her raven-black hair aside just so it didnâ€t get in her way, and then finally- “Ready!” And with that, Sindel made the first move. She dashed towards her, but as she got closer, Tammy watched as her white-haired friend entered a beautiful dance. The Chinese battle dress twirling with her, Tammy was a bit confused at first, but she went to defend herself. At Sindelâ€s first spin, the girl went to block her face, predicting a high kick. But Sindel didnâ€t attack at all, and went for another full spin. Meanwhile, Tammyâ€s arms were defending her face, ready to catch a high kick towards her. But instead, Sindelâ€s kick went low, her twirling dance doing the perfect trick to catch Tammy off guard, as the kick struck its mark. “Nngh, thats it?” Tammy felt a brief, sharp pain in her, but she kind of hoped for more, sure, they were friends, and didnâ€t want to hurt eachother too much. But Tammy was okay with her putting a little more power into it. Either way, the girl didnâ€t let it stop her from her own counter. Sheâ€d attempt to grab Sindelâ€s leg that just hit her, hoping to be quick enough to take hold of her ankle. If she did, Tammy would raise the girlâ€s leg up as high as she can, wanting to see just how flexable Sindel was, a unique attempt to wear her legs down. If Tammy couldnâ€t get her leg in time, Tammy would keep her grab attempt moving forward, settling for a spearing tackle as she would drive her shoulder into Sindelâ€s gut, attempting to ram into her and take her down, packing a decent punch, but also holding back just a little too despite what she just said.

Sindel wasn't trying to make it look like she was being too soft for Tammy, she was just testing her out, how fast she was with reflexes and defence, whether she had become fast enough to deal with her kicks but Sindel's style was still much like a dance, unpredictable in every way, she made a mental note to thank Cerbera for the extra lessons. She narrowed her eyes to follow Tammy's every movement and saw that she was trying to grab her leg, remember what happened in their previous match perfect well, she quickly pulled her leg back once Tammy tried to catch it, bringing it back upon the mat for a more decent stance, a smirk upon her lips because she knew she was faster then that cute kawaii infront of her. She had already figured how to attack her next, it was always fun to confuse an opponent and she couldn't wait to see Tammy's reaction, shifting herself back in position and ready to charge again, that was untill Tammy came charging at her instead. With the stance Sindel had, it was unable for her to react in time to move sideways or backwards.

Tammy came right into her, plowing her off her feet, with nothing Sindel could do about it, falling upon her back with Tammy's weight crashing upon her, the attack itsself was enough to leave Sindel in a daze, but now she was flat out on her back, arms and legs sprawled upon the mat with Tammy ontop of her. Sindel rested the back of her head against the mat, trying to ease herself so she could focus alot faster, Though she was worried because Tammy specialised in closer combat, while Sindel was more into the fighting with the length of her legs.
