Makoto Aihara vs Dixie Clemets *flashback*

Makoto did not respond when Dixie offered her ahnd. Either she was in a lot of pain or shamed by her defeat. She was wrapped up in a ball hugging her leg close to her, her cheeks slightly tear-stained.

Dixie felt a little bad as she looked down at Makoto before the ref raised Dixie's hand in victory. The cowgirl's music started and Dixie waved to the fans before she tried Makoto again, "Come on, Sugah, let me help ya up." she offered her hand once again, "It was a good match. I just caught ya off guard. Nuthin to be shamed ovuh..."

The first round. I couldn't even get past the first round. Am I that weak Aigle?

She continued to lie there holding her leg.

"Can you please...leave me alone..."

Makoto's voice cracked with the choked sobs.

I have to get stronger. I must.

Dixie sighed and nodded, "Alright, sug." With those words, Dixie slowly made her way out of the ring and towards the back, giving more hand slaps to the fans. As she neared the stage she took one last look back at Makoto before heading to the back. At least she wasn't the one to be eliminated in the first round so it was a good night overall! Now Dixie would have to set her sights on her next opponent and hopefully manage to jump another hurdly...

END

nice match
