Despite the fact that she wasn't scheduled to wrestle onnthenupcoming card for LAW, Alex Yin still wanted to be a part of things. She loved the experience of travelling on the road. The planes, the coaches, the hotels...what seemed like hell to a lot of people was heaven to her as she lay in bed, Chewie racing around beside her.
Alex: *reading*...and so Princess Chinchillina took back the kingdom from the mean Grumble king but let all of the Grumbles live there in happiness and joy. And no-one was sad, ever again.
Alex closes the book and sighs.
Alex: Wasn't that a wonderful story?
Chewie continues to run around.
Alex: Yes I know you're not going to sleep till sunrise, it was mummy's story too.
Chewie looks up at Alex.
Alex: Yes I know you would, but remember the last time I read you some Stephen King?
The door knocks as Alex sits up and gets out of bed. Her pyjamas are pink with Pokemon faces on them.
Kenzi smiled as Alex opened the door, though inside her heart was breaking. The events of the last few days had been weighing on her heavily and now she was wondering if she’d ever be able to come up for air. Seeing Alex lifted her spirits…but she felt bad intruding on the girl who had problems of her own. She didn’t want to lay her own problems at Alex’s feet, so she put on her best smile in the hopes that the young girl wouldn’t see the worry that was etched across her face…somewhere just below the surface.
“ALEX!” Kenzi yelled as she hugged the young girl, then stepped back to assess her apparel with a critical eye. “Pokemon Al? You know Pokemon is totes played out right? Only the Old Heads are still rocking the Poke! You need to get that Happy Tree Friends!”
Kenzi squatted down and put out her hand as Chewie darted over, ran around, and jumped in and out of her hand over and over. Kenzi giggled as she looked up at Alex. “So cute!”
Alex casts Kenzi a sideways glance and shakes her finger disapprovingly.
Alex: Now, Kennykins. Pokemon is, was and always will be awesome! Don't make me call Marianne and tell her that you don't like Pokemon. You think I'm scary? She's tons worse.
Alex then scampers over to pick up her laptop on standby and begins frantically tapping keys.
Alex: So what's this Happy Tree Friends thing?
Alex finally finds a video and starts to smile.
Alex: Oh, wow. Oh, they're so cute. *giggling at the screen* Hiya, you guys...what are you up-
Suddenly, a massive scream comes from the laptop and Alex drops it in shock and then turns to look at Kenzi, her eyes as big as saucers.

Kenzi immediately feels bad for what she did as she stands up and runs over to hug Alex. “I’m sorry!! I thought it would be funny!!” Kenzi tried to laugh, but instead, tears streaked down her face. She pulled away from Alex, not wanting the girl to see her tears. Alex was the one that took care of everyone in LAW when they had a problem, but she didn’t want to dump anything more on the girl’s plate. Alex had her own troubles and that was more than enough.
Kenzi wiped her face, “GOD! I’m really sorry Al…I shouldn’t have done that. I thought you’d think it was funny…I really did.”

Kenzi shook her head. “No…it’s not you…it’s…” Kenzi sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair. “It’s DOA…it’s…” She looked at Alex evenly, unsure of how to say the words. “I think my Mom is DOA.”
Kenzi shook her head. I know it sounds crazy. No one has seen her in months…but I’ve seen things…I’ve heard things…”
She looked at Alex. “If it’s true…what do I do Alex? They attacked Traci…I don’t even know if she’ll make it to the show tomorrow. Why would they do that? I…I…” Kenzi shook her head and put her face into her hands.
Alex: Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry about that. Traci will be alright, you'll see.
Alex looks straight at Kenzi.
Alex: Can I be honest? You know I don't get along with your mum. I know that you love her and you should, but she's...not exactly the best person in the world. Is she DOA?
Alex uneasily shrugs and gives an "eh" sound. She knows she's not being very comforting but she felt that if she lied about Sid, Kenzi would see straight through Alex and may feel even worse.
Alex: It's no relfection on you. You are a strong, determined and compassionate person, Kenzi. And I know you may not want to hear this but a lot of that is despite your mum, not because of her. If things have gone bad, you'll find a way to get throught it. We'll find a way because I'm here for you.
Alex wraps Kenzi in a hug.
Alex: You can have the bed and I'll sleep on the floor if it'll make you feel safer.

Kenzi sniffed, immediately feeling better about everything. Alex was always so comforting...she was a good friend...maybe she was even something closer.
“I don't want to put you out of your own bed Al!" She gave her a squeeze. "I don't want to be by myself either...okay?"
Post by Kenzi Grey on Oct 17, 2015 20:01:39 GMT -5
Kenzi had to admit it as well, there was an awkwardness in the air…but it was strange in its comfortableness. Kenzi straightened, “I’m not confused…I just don’t want to put you out of your own bed is all. Besides…I don’t think that there is anything wrong with a couple of friends sleeping together. I…I think that it’s fine…better than fine…it’s good…IT’S FUN!”
Kenzi smiled broadly, “Our first date! Sleep over I mean…” Kenzi hugged Alex, enjoying the softness of her warm body. It was a great comfort to her after everything that she had gone through the last few weeks.
“Thank you Alex…for being such a good friend. I hope you know how much I lov…how much a appreciate you.”
Alex starts to smile a little as she looks at Kenzi. Alex had never been all too good at reading people, their subtleties often lost on her but she'd been getting...vibes from Kenzi for a while. That little slip of the tongue more or less confirmed Alex's suspicions.
Actually, it surpassed them.
Kenzi didn't seem to just have a crush on Alex, this was something of an infatuation. Alex started to think if she suddenly decided to propose to Kenzi, they'd probably be married within the next hour. Alex would also have been lying ifmshe saidmshe didn't return some of Kenzi's affections. She was very kind and staggeringly beautiful, after all.
In all of Alex's introspection, she failed to realise that she had subconsciously drifted closer and closer to Kenzi. If someone were to walk in now...well, it would've looked rather intimate to them. For a moment, Alex stared lovingly at Kenzi.
Alex: *sighing* Kenzi...
Alex's near-trance was broken with a buzz as her phone recieved a text. Fumbling about for it awkwardly, Alex read the message, once again grabbing her chest and closing her eyes. There it was. The reason why Alex and Kenzi couldn't go any further than this.
Alex: Aiden. My boyfriend. He just texted me. Y-y-y-you should meet him, Kenzi. He-he-he's really n-n-nice.
Alex's heart ached a little. She cared for Aiden, and he was such a sweet guy that she couldn't bear breaking his heart and she couldn't be unfaithful to him. She then mustered up a big smile for Kenzi.
Alex: Tell you what. I'm not very tired. Lets just sit up on the bed and talk.
Alex was tired, she could've fallen asleep right there. But she couldn't send Kenzi away and sleeping together under the circumstances would've been...troublesome for Alex. Kenzi was driving her wild but she had to keep her fidelity to Aiden, even if the comfort she was currently sharing with Kenzi was already rather close.
The buzz of the phone broke the tension between them and then Alex’s revelation that it was a message from her boyfriend brought everything back to reality. The comfortable feeling evaporated quickly and things seemed more awkward now. She hadn’t realized how close things had gotten between them, but now it was painfully apparent. She hadn’t come to Alex seeking anything more than her company, but somehow things had turned oddly sexual.
Kenzi looked around, seeking a way out of the situation, embarrassed that she had let things go the way they had. She pulled out her phone and stared at the blank screen. “Oh! That’s weird! My boyfriend just texted me as well!” Kenzi blushed behind the lie she was telling. She looked at Alex an gave her a wink, “I bet those boys could tell that we were really missing them just now, huh?!”
Kenzi stuffed her phone back into her pocket. “He’s coming into town tonight after all and he has a room across town! I’m going to go over and meet him at the airport!” She walked over to Alex and started to hug and kiss her, as she always did…but now the closeness seemed strange and inappropriate. Instead, she put her hand on Alex’s shoulder and gave it a pat. “I’m going to go…maybe I’ll see you tomorrow at the show or in ALCW.”
As she removed her hand from Alex’s shoulder it was like a static discharge took place between them and she felt drained and empty. She’d never felt like that with another woman before and the sensation terrified her. She backed away awkwardly and threw up her hand as she walked to the door. “Bye Al…”
As the door closed, Alex breathed out, pulled a pillow from the bed and covered her face with it, letting out an exasperated groan. Taking the pillow away, Alex looked at Chewie.
Alex: Don't tell Aiden.
Chewie twitches.
Alex: Yes, I know I haven't cheated on him...and I wouldn't....I don't think.
Chewie shakes his head.
Alex: Yes, I did realise that Kenzi looks very pretty and no, I don't really think she has a boyfriend. I mean, I'm naive but...
Chewie squeaks.
Alex: Well, you would say that. Remember Pittsburgh? Salami all over the place!
Alex yawns.
Alex: Well, off to bed, Chewzilla. Nighty nighty.
Alex climbs into bed and switches off the light. As she lies there, she quickly takes out her phone. The wallpaper is a picture of Alex and Kenzi, standing with their arms around eachother's shoulders, laughing. Alex hurriedly changes it to a picture of Aiden. With a sigh, Alex puts the phone away and rolls over to sleep.
