Life seemed to be moving a bit too fast for Cosette Grace since her return to the United States. She had to deal with resigning with XWA training for a possible professional fight oh and of course her fake engagement to help combat the very real delusions of her old wrestling rival Addison Grey. Things were getting very complicated in the elaborate fantasy world that was assembling itself before her very eyes and if she wanted any chance of making it through without any major blunders she’d have to be prepared. Legal pad in hand she made her way to the XWA lounge having already arranged a mid-afternoon meeting with Ash Dixon.
“Is he a punctual person? I don’t even know. I don’t really know anything about him. He could stand me up. He might think this isn’t serious. Maybe he doesn't love...
the idea of helping Addison?”
She muttered as she nervously checked her watch over and over again hoping he’d make it on time.

And Ash soon arrives, sweating massively again, he had been with his brother and sisters getting tips for his "date" Ash was dressing in some nice clothes, but he was very shy... Finally when he manages to get some guts, he arrives, luckily he wasn't late.
H... Hi Cosette, how are you doing? I am doing fine here, er.... I better sit right?
Ash like a gentleman pulls the chair for Cosette to sit, he then sits nervously, Ash is sweating a lot and starts turning red-faced, he looses his tie a bit
All I have to say it's that I am so happy you phoned me, I really wasn't expecting your call since we had such an accidental encounter last time we saw...
Ash tries to remember what her sister Sarah adviced him: "Boast about yourself, girls like guys with confidence"
Uh and well Cosette, I have been such a succesful wrestler overseas, in all Japan people recognizes me as a legend and all Europe worships me like an ancient European king who ruled with an iron fist. But in America I am not well known except for the elitists, shame on them, they don't know what they are missing ;D
However Ash then remembers what his brother Chet and sister Christina told him: "Always do the opposite of what Sarah says"
Er... Well just barely.. I mean...
Ash finally gives up
Sorry Cosette, but it won't work, you are a precious lady and I am a socially useless moron, I don't want to bore you with my attempts of being cool... thanks for everything...
A sad Ash sighs and attempts to leave but...

Ash, wait.
She did her best to stop him and get his attention.
I’m afraid none of that matters any more. You see you’ve stumbled into a difficult situation, we both have really. You have to understand that Addison Grey isn’t well and now that we’ve played into one of her delusions we’ll have to make sure she’s convinced that this whole situation is the truth.
I shudder to think what the consequences might be should this reality suddenly shatter around her.
She said ominously.

Ash after hearing Cosette's word suddenly stops for a second to turn angry.
Wait a second, you just called me here for telling me that we continue with this comedy? You want to lie to Addison? Look I know that she's mad, but that's not our fault is it? Cosette I came here, dressed up well, with some illusions in my mind... And then you come up that it doesn't matter anymore...
Ash appears to be angry
God this is so ridicolous, you want me to keep a farce, do you realize how stupid I feel? With what face do I go to Addison and I try to conviince her about that? And if she's so mad aren't you afraid she becomes violent and kills us both? Haven't that come through your mind Cosette? No I guess it hasn't, because Ash is just a pawn that's it. His obvious problems with shyness don't matter if he's good enough to keep a damn farce!!!
Ash appeared obviously frustrated...

Now it was Cosette’s turn to be mortified.
Look, I’m sorry if it came out that way and I’m sorry if this seemed like something more on the phone. But the truth is I’m not exactly sure what the best course of action is either. I’m lost and I need someone’s help, I mean this could get dangerous. I don’t really know what she’s capable of in this state. Anything could potentially set her off, we don’t even have any guarantee that the next time we see her she’ll be playing the mother role.
She sighs on having put the heart of the matter out there.
I don’t like this any more than you do but unfortunately we’re in this together. She got us into this and now we have to get her out. God, that’s convoluted. Anyhow right now this seems like the best way to buy some time wouldn’t you say? I mean you wouldn’t want to explain how you left her only daughter just before the wedding, would you?

Ash annoyed tries to leave again
Now let me ask you one question Cosette... Why on earth do you want to see Addison again? She's mad, right, stark raving mad. Mad people are dangerous, mad people aren't the ones you have to come next to. And like you said she's crazy, you won't know how she'll react next time.. She could kill you, me, herself, etc... I don't like that risk, and Cosette I don't know you enough to risk my life like that, you can't ask me that.
You can't ask me to get close to a damn psycho and LIE to her blatantly... What if she finds out the truth? Won't that be much worse Cosette? Won't it?
I don't have any motives to take such a big risk, Cosette. You can't ask me that.
Want a solution for your conflict? STAY AWAY from Addison.
Ash angrily looks at Cosette waiting for her reaction

I wish it were that simple but I really don’t think that’s an option at this point. She works for XWA she’ll be with us every step of the way, Ash. Every city we visit, everywhere we go. You saw what happened in the lobby and I’m sure she’ll be unavoidable. And she’s… obsessed with me, Ash.
She looks around the dining room for a second and once she decides it’s safe she goes on, the concern showing more and more on her face.
It’s strange but sometimes I just feel her eyes on me and I don’t know why but this all seems to come back to the two of us, ever since last year. Somehow she’s managed to go under the radar of management and the psychiatric community for the most part and well, I can’t just stay away. I have to do something. She’s a danger to all of us, especially herself, and more important I don’t like watching this happen to someone I was about to call a friend.

Ash looks in Cosette's eyes.
Look Cosette, if I was you I would go to visit Gallas, I am sure they will fire Addison on the spot or will sent her to a place where they can help her. Cosette you are a smart woman, you shouldn't risk yourself like that, if I was you I'd do the option that would take less risks. Go to see Gallas, explain him your problem. I am sure he'll manage to do something more than all the lies and all the farces you want to come up with.
And sorry if I got too angry Cosette. I shouldn't have berated at you like that, you are worried and last thing you need is me shouting at you.
Now... You phoned me just to expose your plan or because you would like to give me a second opportunity with no Addison around?
Ash sits on the chair again, with a bright of hope in his eyes, hoping that Cosette understands than the least risky option is the better one.

Cosette just decides to surrender this round. No need to get him any more wrapped up in this at the moment. Hiding away the legal pad she takes a moment to consider the request.
Well, you did come all the way up here. And I haven’t had lunch yet. Would you like to stay awhile?

Ash then looks at Cosette's concerned face, he sees that Cosette is worried, very worried, Ash tried to be a tough guy, but seeing a lady that concerned, softened his heart.
I know I will never forgive me for this one but...
Ash sighs, seeing he has fallen again, he wasn't a tough guy... There was no need for lying Cosette about that.
Bring back the pad, Cosette, I'll do this one I will keep the farce with you, after all, my life is just training/sleep, some life-risking adventure will be cool. And since it's my fault too that Addison thinks that we are getting married, I won't leave you alone with this. You can trust me
Ash then laid his hand over Cosette's trying to make her feel safe, however Ash fearing to be misunderstood quickly removed the hand and blushed
Oh, ehm..... Well... What's the plan?

“Twist his arm why don’t you?” Well at least this would save her the trouble of coming up with an equally insane contingency plan.
If you’re sure this is what you want to do then I suppose we’ll just need to keep up appearances around her.
Make sure she thinks this is still happening while I get to the bottom of this. There has to be some rhyme and reason to all this and this should allow me to get close enough to figure it out.
We’ll just need to keep all the details in order, hence the note taking.

Ash scratches his head thinking in Cosette's wordsDetails? What details do you want from me Cosette? You already know that I am a Dixon and that I have 3 siblings...
Maybe you want some more personal information? I will already need some information from you.Ash takes out a pen and grabs a napkin.Ladies first

Fine, if that’s what you want.
She flips back a page and looks at everything she had already compiled on the situation.
Cosette Grace, though you’d probably do well to refer to me as Cosette Kimberly Grey while we’re in the middle of all this. I’m apparently from Spokane, Washington although I’ve recently returned from London where I picked up this outrageous accent and that might be where I mastered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. No, wait I think I have the chain of events wrong…
She shrugs a bit. Some of the important details were there but she really was spitballing at this point.
The details of my upbringing are a bit of a blur although it seems I’ve always been awkward, always pushed aside in favor of the prettier more exciting girls who were far less intimidating than I. This all led to my mother wanting to be there for me all the time, which I resented leading to a string of wrestling matches last season and the disappearance and reappearance of my mother. Between all this I seem to have become quite taken with you. I’m not quite sure how all that fits in though.

Ash then starts writing
Cosette Kimberly Grey, you are from Spokane, Washington, you got this accent when you went on a trip to London. And your size made all the pretty girls be rathered over you, so that's why your momma, Addison was always there for you... I think I got it correct... Right now start writing here comes my life
Ash thinks for a while
My name is Ashley Irwine Dixon, I was born on Vancouver, Canada. Actually because all Dixons are billed from where they were conceived I am the only Canadian Dixon to date. Originally if we didn't do that, we would all be billed from Ann Arbor, Michigan, that is where our parents, and wrestling legends are from.
I was the first son of Bill and Laura Dixon, I am 27 years old, I was trained by my dad and mum. In High School I was voted "Most Likely to be a wrestler" I went to Brown University but I didn't studied, I joined the wrestling team, and after graduating there, I started my career. I tried to join TNB with Chet and Christina but I failed. Then I started my career overseas, where I beat such talent like Bryan Dorizas and Watanabe... In epical 4 and half star matches, qualified by Dave Penzer from wrestlingobserver.com. After all my contracts with European and Japanese promotions where over I decided to join XWA.
I have had 4 relationships so far, in High School I dated Harriet Page a cheerleader, then in University I had two relations with two students, one foreign her name was Regina Michaelczewski, she was polish, and another one with another foreign student she was Arab-English she was named Sïbel Pullum Sinclaire. They were both 23 and I was 25
My last relationship was with Sumya.
In family I just recently knew that my sister Sarah was lesbian... And that my sister Christina is a jobber and that my brother Chet is very arrogant....
Wait was that correct?
Ash dazzled scratches his head

Perfect.
She sets her pen down after getting all that.
We’re just lucky she didn’t know you before, hopefully she’ll believe anything we say about you. I have to say, you have a very impressive resume there Ash. Except for that whole dating Sumya business, but I suppose that’s forgivable.
She laughs, hoping she hadn’t just made a faux pas.
And you will have to tell me how the whole billing from the town of conception came about sometime. It’s different to say the least.
Cosette leans back in her chair tapping the pen on her chin.
Now, there is the matter of how we met. I would assume all of this had to take place between X-Games and today. That would mean we met in England, unless Rome or Paris are more to your liking.
