Ashley sits backstage in her locker room. For the first time in nearly five months, she finds herself without the XWADiamond Championship. A title she helped build into more prominence then perhaps any other title in XWA. It was once said that a title doesn't make a person, a person makes a title. If that rings true, then Ashley was indeed a true pioneer. She lets out a small sigh as she ponders to herself...
I've faced some tough ones, but that Angel...man. There's no wonder why XWA went after her so heavily. She earned my respect, that's for sure. I'll get that title back down the line. No worries, but I can't help but to feel as if...a weights been lifted of my shoulders. I mean, I was the first Diamond champion. I held it for over five months. I think I know what Lou Gehrig must have felt like when he went on his hitting streak. But now all of that pressures gone. *sigh*. But so is the title. Oh well, I started this journey with no championship, and no name in the business. Now I'm "Ms. XWA", title or not....
Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. Ashley stands up from her seat and answers.
Come in.

Sayuri enters the dressing room, and immediately give Ashley a big hug. After words, she puts her hand on her shoulder and speaks.
Sayuri proud of Ashley. You fight with honor and passion. In Sayuri's eyes, Ashely will ALWAYS be champion.
She gives Ash a big thumbs up before continuing.
But Sayuri wondering what Ashley do now? No more Diamonds come to try and beat Ashley up? Everyone will go after Angel now, No?

Ashley laughs at Sayuri's wonderment. She looks at her friend and answers.
Fat chance of THAT happening. I've only lost two matches. And there's some REALLY big egos running around here. It's only a matter of time before one of them try to cash in on beating XWA's "Poster Girl". I've officially entered Jon Payne status. It wont matter if I have a belt or not, girls are gonna line up to fight my just because beating me is gonna put them over. "I beat Ashley Diamond". I can hear it now. So you know what I'm gonna do Sayuri? I'm gonna cut them off at the pass. They wont have to come looking for me, I'm gonna go looking for them. I finally get to let loose a bit.Ashley grabs her duffel bag and slings it over her shoulder. Come on. Let's get outta here.  |

Sayuri grabs her own bags and answers.
Hai!
As they exit they're greeted by event staffers and fans still roaming the arena. They continue on until they reach the parking lot entrance, where it appears someone had been waiting for them...

Leaning against the wall was the mysterious Sable Slade. When last she'd been seen, it was in a loss to Ashley herself. A sly smile crosses her lips as the duo draw near. She pushes herself off the wall and into there path of vision.
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Two weeks ago you were queen of the mountain. And now you're just a mere mortal once again. Such a pity it is. But obviously you're an optimist. You wouldn't see it as a short coming, just as a cost of being in "the business". So typical. If I were you I'd be right in the thick of things going for a rematch, NOT exiting the arena. But of course, I'm NOT you...am I?

Ashley stops dead in her tracks as at the sight of Sable.
Save your psycho-babble for someone who cares. We don't have time for it. Being a champion isn't what drives me. Being the best I know I can be IS. I unlike some don't mind being beat, because whoever does has to have been on there A game to do it. Why else has it now only happened twice? Now if you'll excuse us...
Ashley motions to walk pass Sable...

Sable steps in Ashley's way. Her eyes stare emotionless into Ashley's as she speaks.
You only wish it were that easy, don't you? I don't take kindly to being brushed of, Ms. Diamond. And you also didn't think I would take you defeating me in Tokyo lying down either, did you? No no no, my sweet little Ashley. You and I, we've got an unsettled issue. An issue I intend on addressing next week. Feel free to bring your friend if you will. It'll make no difference. The first match was a freebee. The next one I make things just a little more interesting.[/font]
Sable blows Ashley a kiss and continues out through the parking lot entrance...
