       Meeting of the minds
       By: awesome aries Date: November 24, 2016, 5:48 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       As everything has settled following the split of the Awesome
       Aries team, the Management of Awesome Aries decided it wise to
       gather the leaders of both stables together to discuss some
       things. In the Aries locker room before the meeting, So Yeon
       Ryu, Hee Young Park Sandra Gal and Ai Miyazato are getting ready
       to go and work out and talk among themselves about what the
       meeting was about.
       So Yeon:  Do any of you know what is going on and why there are
       so many girls from that other stable are here.
       Ai:  Well I talked to Michelle earlier and she did not seem
       stressed out and she told me that it was just a meeting with the
       two teams leaders to discuss how we would mesh with two stables
       using the same gym.
       Sandra:  I have seen some changes in the gym and it looks like
       they may be splitting the gym in half.
       Hee Young:  It looks that way, I hope that we all can work
       together and that we dont have any unwanted scenes.
       Ai:  Well the banter from what I have been hearing from the
       other team seems to be they are looking for trouble.  I hope
       that I am wrong but I just get a bad feeling about some of the
       things that I have heard
       So Yeon:  I think that it is just the media trying to stoke a
       fire out of flames.
       Sandra:  I think so too, Either way we need to stand together
       and trust our management to make the right decisions.  They have
       never steered us wrong.
       Hee Young:  We do need to stick together,  I don't know what is
       wrong with this Brenda Song, but she looks like trouble.
       Sandra:  Like I said just stand together Nothing can happen if
       we all stand together.
       Ai:  I agree
       The four then head out to the gym to start working out.
       Meanwhile a small group has headed into Aries Management office.
       The group consisted of Jennifer Love Hewitt, Bai Ling, Jarah
       Mariano, Brenda Song and Koda Kumi.  They were met in the office
       by Aries Management, as well as Harumi Nemoto, Katharine McPhee,
       Taylor Swift, Michelle Yeoh and Chrissie Chau.  Chrissie and
       Koda give one another a big hug while the others all shake hands
       and begin gathering around the conference table.
       Management:  Okay Girls, lets get this started.  Welcome to all
       of you,  I look forward to a productive meeting.  Before we get
       started, I dont want this to become a shouting contest or
       anything of the sort.  Are we all in agreement to have a
       productive meeting.
       The group all agree with a shake of their heads and the meeting
       begins.
       Management:  Good.  Since I have the biggest dealing in this
       matter as Management of the Aries team and a financial backer of
       the Wildcats team, I have the biggest voice in this matter and
       as such I want my Aries team to understand that I have made some
       changes at this gym.  We have plenty of space and more room than
       we really need for one team.  So that said, I have renovated the
       gym to accomodate both teams and both teams have complete
       privacy from one another.  Both sides have seperate locker rooms
       and all of the equipment is new and both sides have all of the
       same equipment,  I have also set up a common area where the two
       teams can talk and work out together.  I know that there are
       several girls on both teams who are friends like Koda and
       Chrissie.  We want this to be a good thing where we can all talk
       and work together to make this whole UMMA organization a great
       organization.  Saying this I have certain rules that need to be
       respected.  There are to be no shenanigans going on here.  This
       is for our girls safety.  Both teams need to respect one another
       and I have tried to make this a matter of concern for my Aries
       team and since most of the Wildcats team have worked in my Aries
       team, I think that you know what I expect and I hope that you
       can work with me on this.
       Jennifer:  Well you know me.  I enjoyed my time with the Aries
       team and I tried to lead the stable with all that I could.  I
       realized my brief indiscretion with Ai and I have apologized not
       just to her but to the whole team for letting them down.  I see
       this as an opportunity to better myself.  I have talked to the
       girls in the Wildcats stable and I have made it clear that You
       all have been more than gracious enough to help us out with the
       use of the gym and I am sure that we can all respect one
       another's space.  But we do have some problems that need to be
       hashed out.  For instance I am having a small problem with Jamie
       Lynn Spears.  I really don't know how much control I really have
       over her.  She seems to have a mind of her own and I am afraid
       that she is going to do something that she will regret.  Her and
       I have had some pretty heated words but for now she seems to
       realize that I am the leader of this stable and if she want's a
       job, she had better shape up.  I hope that she gets control of
       herself because she is a really talented fighter and I would not
       want to have a more serious talk with her about her career here
       in the Wildcats stable.
       Management:  I understand your predicament.  Jamie is a pretty
       tough fighter and I saw a ton of potential with her when I
       brought her on in the Aries stable.  She did not have a good
       attitude to work well with our team and I really feel for you
       Jen.  I know you can handle this situation with the
       professionalism needed to be the leader of your stable.
       Michelle Yeoh:  I know that you are a great leader Jen,  We have
       worked together here with the Aries team and I have a ton of
       respect for what you have done to start this new team so if you
       need someone to bounce some ideas off, you know how to contact
       me and I would help if i can.
       Jennifer:  Thanks Michelle,  It was really hard to leave the
       Aries team because of people like you who was always there to
       help out.
       Management:  Great.  Thats what I want here.  I do know there
       will be problems and spats with two stables working together.
       All I am asking is for things to be kept inside the confines of
       our gym.  I need the Wildcats leadership to be just that.  Bai
       Ling I know that you and I have not seen eye to eye at times but
       I want you to know that I respect you as a bright and promising
       young lady, I hope that you will work with Jennifer as hard as
       you worked with us here in the Aries stable.
       Bai Ling:  Thanks for that.  You know that I always appreciated
       what you have done for me.  I was lost and you gave me a chance
       when I joined the Aries team.  I will always love my former
       teammates from your stable.  You all have been great to me and I
       am sorry for how things happened and I had to leave.  I hold no
       ill feelings towards you or anyone in the Aries organization.
       It was just something that I had to do
       Jennifer:  I think that speaks for all of my stable.  We all
       appreciate what you did for us in giving us all a second chance
       and I am positive that I speak for all of my stable.  I think
       that we can all work together and make both of our stables into
       top notch stables with tons of titles between us.
       Management:  Thats what I want to see.  We all need to work
       together to make both stables as competitive as possible.  Lets
       hear from some of my leaders, you all have been quiet.
       Harumi Nemoto:  I think that we can all make this work.  I am
       concerned about some of the bickering going on with some of
       things being said in the media.  I hope that it is just some
       members of the media taking some things out of context
       Jennifer:  We have not always been friends Harumi, but I truly
       hope that we can work together on this.  I have addressed my
       stable about this and If i learn of something happening I will
       address that situation.  I do know some things have been said
       mostly from my team and I will look into this.
       Harumi:  I hope that we can do that Jennifer.  Even though we
       have had our share of battles, I have always respected you as
       the great person and fighter that you are.  If you lead as well
       as you fight, I know that we can all work together.
       Jennifer:  Same for me, You have given me some of my toughest
       fights and I respect you for that.
       Management:  Good, Taylor or Katharine, what are your thoughts
       on the matter at hand.
       Katharine:  I have some reservations about things.  We really
       need to be cautious about this.  I know things look better but
       my concern is for some our girls having targets on their backs
       and I think we all know who those girls are.
       Management:  Good observation Kat.  I am concerned about that as
       well and I hope that things work themselves out.  I will be
       meeting with my team to see if I am missing something and I need
       my leaders to step up and inform me of anything going on that I
       need to address.  I expect Jen and her team leaders to do the
       same.  We don't need another situation like what caused us to
       fall apart.  That is why I expect both stables leaders to step
       it up and address anything that arises.  I trust Jennifer and I
       need the rest of my leaders to trust her as well.
       Katharine:  I just said that it was a concern.  Jen and I have
       worked together long enough for her to have my total respect but
       I know that there can always be a bad apple out there who comes
       in and causes trouble.
       Taylor Swift:  I feel the same.  It is just a concern and I know
       that it will be up to us on the floor to make sure that
       everything is kept in line.  I know that Katharine has the same
       concerns that all of us do.  This is a new thing for a lot of us
       to work with another stable who could be opponents and rivals.
       Katharine:  That is what I am saying exactly.  This is a new
       thing and we are asking two seperate stables to work together
       and train together.  There is still a lot of tension with some
       of our girls.  I just don't want to see both of our stables to
       lose control and lose the target that we all have to strive for
       and that is to be the best we can be.
       Jennifer:  I have worked with both of you and I hope that you
       know that I will do my best to make this all work.
       Management:  I know that this will work because we have some
       great leaders on both sides.  My door is always open and you all
       know that.  All I can ask for is for you as team and stable
       leaders to do the best you can keep things moving forward.  I
       appreciate your concerns Taylor and Katharine and you know that
       you can talk to me anytime.  I expect a lot from my leaders.  I
       can't see everything so I have to rely on the leaders to keep me
       up to date and to handle what they can.  I know that there will
       be problems, we need to keep those to a minimum and to move
       forward.  Both of our stables have a lot of talent.  We can all
       work together and make this work.
       Everyone agrees and the meeting comes to an end.  The group all
       goes around and shakes hands and hugs and start to leave.  Koda
       Kumi comes up to Aries Management and asks to talk with him/
       Koda Kumi:  I just wanted to thank you for something.  I had a
       great time at your tournament a few month's ago.  I really did
       not expect to come out the champion because there was a lot of
       talent in that tourney.  I thank you for giving us a chance to
       show our talent.  Us Asian girls sometimes don't get the respect
       we deserve and I thank you for giving us that chance.
       Management:  Thanks Koda.  You really showed a lot of spunk out
       there and I was very impressed.  I appreciate you joining us for
       that tourney and I hope that you return to defend your title at
       the next time we have that tourney.
       Koda:  You can count on that,  I look forward to the
       opportunity.  I do have one request.  tell Ai Miyazato that I
       love her and how she fights.  She is one tough little girl and I
       would love to work out with her sometime.
       Management:  Wow I did not know you felt that way.  I think she
       would love to work out with you.  She has been working with
       Chrissie Chau and some our other newer talent and she is always
       looking to better herself and I know she respects you and what
       you have done for all Asian fighters.
       Koda:  Wow now I am blushing.  Ever since I first saw her in the
       cage, I knew that she was a super talent and I hope that we can
       work together even though we are on different stables.
       Management:  I think that will help the moves we are making as
       we share this gym.  I know Ai will be excited for this chance.
       They then shake hands and share a hug before the two move on.
