Written with Allyana Rivera
It was a busy day in Purple Hayes. Having Metro:Pro close by meant that the gym was busier than ever. Allyana Rivera and Anya-Leigh Castello had taken up Carter’s offer to train there, and had also been accompanied by Mama Rivera who was never one to turn down an invitation. Given Carter’s currently injured state, Grace had agreed to meet the pair when they arrived.
Allyana Rivera: “I’ll speak to reception and find out if Grace is here already.”
Anya-Leigh Castello: “Sure.”
Allyana approached the desk and directed her attention to the man sitting behind it.
Allyana Rivera: “Hi, is Grace Taylor here yet?”
The man looked around the gym, scanning everyone he could see.
Staff Member: “I’m sure I saw her here somewhere. Why don’t you guys come with me and I’ll see where she is?”
Allyana and Anya nodded to the man and proceeded to follow him. Mama River followed, as she muttered to the two young wrestlers.
Mama Rivera: “I’d follow that man into anywhere.”
Allyana looked horrified but tried not to distract the attention of the muscular member of staff her mother had been talking about.
Staff Member: “Grace? Are you here?”
He waited for a response - nothing.
Staff Member: “GRACE?”
Suddenly the familiar voice of Grace Taylor could be heard shouting back and after a few second she emerged from under the ring with a torch in her hand.
Grace Taylor: “Don’t mind me, guys. Just recording something.”
Allyana and Anya just looked to each other and decided not to question the strange situation. The Prodigy jumped up and clapped her hands together.
Grace Taylor: “Okay! Shall we get this training started?”
Anya/Allyana: “Definitely!”
The camera then faded out leaving the three of them in the ring.
When the camera fades back up, all three of the woman are still in the ring. They look visibly more worked than before.
Grace Taylor: “I think that’s just about everything. Just one more thing you guys should think about - Morgan’s finisher. It’s the same as mine, and the pair of you have just done an awesome job of tackling it! Just always be watching for it. She’s said it herself that she wants to end things quickly. You see her climb that top rope like I did before, and you know it’s coming.”
Anya-Leigh Castello: “Thanks so much for your help.”
Allyana Rivera: “Yeah you’ve been a great help!”
Grace smiled at the pair.
Grace Taylor: “No worries, you don’t have anything to worry about. Work as well together as you both did just there and you’ve got this in the bag.”
Allyana and Anya smiled modestly, not one’s to be as openly confident.
Grace Taylor: “I’ve got to go, I can practically hear Carter ringing his bell from here. Feel free to stick around and train. There’s plenty of people here who’d be willing to help you out.”
With that Grace left. Allyana and Anya looked to each other and then around the room. They soon zoned in on one particular person, perhaps somebody they weren’t expecting to see. They turned to one another and nodded before making their way towards the person in question, as the scene faded out.
Soon, the scene faded back in and now Anya and Allyana were sharing the ring with Alice Autumn. Alice had been skeptical about heading to Purple Hayes in fear of meeting a certain ex-boyfriend of hers there but she still wore a smile on her face as she turned to the two ladies… and of course, Mama Rivera, who was beaming brightly at Alice.
Mama Rivera: “Wow… the great Miss Autumn herself about to train MY daughter. It’s like a dream come true!”
Alice couldn’t help but laugh a little as she seemed to enjoy actually having a fan nearby.
Alice Autumn: “It would honestly be an honour to give your daughter some pointers, as well as Anya. I am still a rookie myself, technically, but during the past few months, I have honestly learned so much so I’ll try to pass on the advice I was given!”
The two ladies nodded as Alice continued.
Alice Autumn: “Okay, so I learned a hell of a lot about submission moves. I pretty much ended my name from hitting the jujigatame from out of nowhere. It’s not an easy move to hit and I’m not suggesting you have to learn how to apply that or any other hold… the main thing is being able to counter them. I know your opponents this week aren't known for them but still, it's good to know! If you get caught in anything, there’s a huge threat of having to submit to avoid injury and essentially, you could save your careers by submitting but you want the win… so… how about I go to apply a few moves and you show me what you’ve got in terms of escape routes?”
With that, the scene faded out again only to return seconds later, with the ladies once again significantly more tired, after having to attempt to counter some Alice Autumn submission holds.
Alice Autumn: “Very good… but just remember, holds like that can come out of anywhere. Always keep your eyes open and never turn your back on your opponent.”
Anya-Leigh Castello: “Thanks so much. I can’t say submissions are my strong suit but at least not getting caught in one is something I can do!”
Mama Rivera: “That was amazing! You’re honestly one of the most impressive athletes I’ve seen, so thank you again for agreeing to assist my daughter.”
Mama Rivera then nudged Allyana in the side.
Mama Rivera: “Allyana, thank Miss Autumn for sharing her expertise!”
Allyana Rivera: “Thanks alot, Alice.”
The scene once again faded out and returned soon after. This time the girls were in the locker room, getting their things together and ready to leave. Just then the buzzing of Allyana’s cell phone caught their attention.
Allyana Rivera: “It’s Carter Hayes.”
Allyana answered the call, it turned out Carter had facetimed her. Allyana tilted the camera round to make sure both her and Anya were on screen.
Carter Hayes: “Hey you two! How’d you like the gym?”
Anya-Leigh Castello: “It’s amazing… I can see why you’re so proud of the place! We’ve managed to gain some key advice from some great people so it was definitely worth the visit.”
Carter smiled widely down the camera lens.
Carter Hayes: “Glad to hear it. Speaking of advice, let me give you some. Sneak attacks! I hear Dennis isn’t afraid to try them, and trust me when I tell you, they’re not fun. Keep your eye’s open at all times, both of you. That’s part of being a team, you keep your head’s in the game for each other.”
Allyana looked to Anya.
Allyana Rivera: “I think we can do that.”
Anya nodded.
Anya-Leigh Castello: “No doubt about it! There’s no way we’d let the other down.”
Carter Hayes: “Well then there’s nothing else to say, apart from good luck! I don’t think you’ll need it though. From what Grace has told me you have both worked insanely hard today, that’s the actions of winners.”
Anya and Allyana laughed, once again too modest to agree. With that Allyana ended the phone call. All of a sudden Mama Rivera popped her head around the entrance to the locker room.
Mama River: “Mija! We not leaving are we? Mr. Derek is going to show me some moves!”
Allyana just shook her head at her mother.
Allyana Rivera: “Yes, we are definitely leaving! And we’re going to call papi!”
Mama Rivera: “Calm down, mija. It just fun.”
Allyana just looked to Anya with a look of disbelief causing the pair to burst into laughter. The scene then faded one final time.
