I straightened the “Aurora Corp Employee” tag on my shirt and tugged my skirt as I walked through the backstage of the T-Mobile Arena. Around me I could hear most people grunting and complaining about the outcome of the tournament.
Tired wrestlers, annoyed wrestlers, bored wrestlers, as I passed by them most ignored me. Maybe one or two male ones would glance at my legs, but that would be it. Aurora wanted me to be their personal announcer again, as I did years ago, but even back then I was nothing more than a “random” employee of Aurora’s million-dollar company, Aurora Corp. But that was for the world at large.
I stopped in front of The Master Sister’s locker room, Moonlight and Carnival were outside.
Carnival Master: Bro, my favourite part was when you did the triple moonsault into Dad Rock Guy.
Moonlight Master: Are you sure you saw the match?
Carnival Master: I looked at the card! Oh, hey Kat!
Katherine Makina: Hey Carny baby, how’s it going? Congratulations, MoonMoon!
I patted Moonlight in the back and she nodded.
Moonlight Master: Thanks, Katherine.
Moonlight wasn’t known for talking a lot, not even as a kid. I left them and entered the room, closing the door behind me, as I assumed that’s what she’d want. As soon as I closed it, I felt a pair of arms embracing me and lifting me off the ground.
Aurora Master: I DID IT KATHERINE! I FUCKING DID IT!!!
Katherine Makina: Holy shit, girl, please put me on the floor right now!
Aurora let me and jumped on top of a chair!
Aurora Master: ME! I! AURORA MASTER! FUCKING DID IT!
She burst out laughing. I smiled and waited for her to calm down a bit.
Katherine Makina: Didn’t know you could lift me off the ground that easily.
Aurora Master: Of course I can, I’m a wrestler! A great wrestler! An Inaugural 1WM Legendary Tag Team Tournament winner wrestler!
Katherine Makina: Yes, I too love to stack up the biggest number of words possible in one sentence. Shouldn’t you be celebrating with your sisters and not… locked here waiting for me?
Aurora Master: Bah, fuck them. They don’t get it. They’ve been here. They’ve been champions, they had their names forever etched in the companies we’ve been. Me? I was always sidelined as “the manager”, a footnote… an assistant to their accomplishments. But they can’t take me this one. No one can, it’s done, I am the inaugural winner. Moonlight and ME! And if we win at Massive then I’ll be a champion! A bona fide, true, for real, no “buts” champion! And I’m going to make sure that happens!
I could see a tear forming in Aurora’s eye, but for once, it didn’t seem like the best time to make fun of her for it.
Aurora Master: But you, Kat… you get it, because you’ve been here for me the whole way through.
Katherine Makina: So have they.
Aurora Master: I said for me, and you know what I mean. I feel… happy. I haven’t felt like this, for real, this much, in… like… since… since our band.
Katherine Makina: That’s good to hear. I’m sure Sarah would be really happy for you too.
Aurora nodded and the tear finally fell. She cleaned it pretty fast and put back her smug smirk back that people on GPW, UKWF and now on 1WM had gotten so accustomed to.
Aurora Master: Ok, ok, I booked a dinner at an unnecessarily expensive restaurant to celebrate this win and you’re coming too!
Katherine Makina: ‘Course I am. You wouldn’t go out without me, bitch. You’re paying tho.
Aurora Master: Don’t worry, I know you can’t afford it.
Katherine Makina: As long as you keep denying me a raise, I won’t!
With mild laughs we left the room and joined her sisters.
