Pai Chan splashed cold water on her face, then stuck her mouth under the tap, filled her cheeks out with it, swilled it around and spat it back into the sink. She had done this three times while panicking back in her hotel room, a good half a dozen out of the window of the taxi after taking her bottle of mouthwash with her, and was already leaning into the sink for one last run here. Paranoia was something she struggled with at the best of times, and times had certainly been better than waking up covered in her own shit and blood on the morning of an international exhibition fight, and then realizing that she had slept through her alarm.
The door of the VIP washroom opened as her face was back in the sink for the fourth time, and she heard hard heels clack pass her towards the stalls; must be support staff, wearing something like those to a prize fight, she thought.
The footsteps stopped before reaching a stall, and she heard a husky, confident but somehow soothing voice ask, "Are you alright there, honey?"
Pai lifted her face up and saw behind her, through the mirror, a blonde, ponytailed woman with strikingly beautiful features: pale skin, full red lips, with soft, sapphire eyes shining out from her chiseled face. Her figure was slim, yet her tight navy bodysuit and black, stiletto boots emphasized an ample fullness around her breasts and hips. It was like seeing an image step out of a movie - or a dream - into reality.
Pai spun around nervously: "Yes, of course, just...just, getting myself a bit wet here. I mean my face. Getting my face wet. Nothing else on me is wet. Of course. Haha!"
The gorgeous woman walked up to her and took one of her hands into a firm handshake. It was perhaps more formal a touch than what Pai was starting to really, really want right now, but a touch that was electrifying nonetheless.
"Hi, I'm Sarah Bryant!" she announced, telling Pai nothing she didn't already know after last night, but somehow setting her pulse racing.
"I'm...Pai Chan...?" Pai gasped, inordinately proud that she had managed to remember her own name.
"Delighted to finally meet you, sweetie," Sarah beamed. "I'll be, or rather, I'll have the *honor* of being your..." Sarah trailed off in mid-sentence, wrinkling her nose and looking around with a strange expression of slight confusion, or perhaps mild disgust.
Pai really hoped that Sarah would regain her train of thought and continue explaining her role soon, because all sorts of weird and inappropriate suggestions seemed to be swelling in her mind and struggling to escape her throat. She really didn't know how long she could hold them back for.
"...I'll be your opponent today," was the statement Sarah rescued her with. She then put a hand over the side of her mouth, and half-whispered, "You know, I don't think they do a very good job of cleaning this place sometimes."
Pai felt herself blush almost painfully hard. She nodded her head along robotically.
"Anyway," Sarah continued warmly, "I am *so* glad you made it! When they said were held up this morning, I was just *so* worried..."
"Very sorry!" Pai blurted out, so pleased that the topic of conversation had moved on, and eager to keep it on safe ground. "The traffic in this city is bloody awful, isn't it?"
"...oh!" exclaimed Sarah. "They told me there was a train accident..."
"No...I mean, YES," Pai cringed. That *was* the excuse she had made, wasn't it? "Bloody awful...train traffic...this morning. I do apologize, my English is very bad. Absolutely terrible, as a matter of fact."
As a matter of fact, it was absolutely not.
"Really? I thought it was excellent in Kung-fu Kitty IV and Hong Kong Dirty Cop Gal," Sarah responded with a puzzled air. "And I just have to say, I *love* those movies, absolutely *love* them."
"...they show those films in America?" questioned Pai, finally justified in being flabbergasted.
"Well, hun, my Blu-ray collection is rather...let's just say, *esoteric*. But *I* think your performances are just marvelous, *really*, they are. *So* natural." At least Sarah was smiling again. No wonder she was so friendly before.
"Oh...oh, thank-you kindly! But my English there, well, that's just because, well, they dub it! I mean, dub it w-with my voice, but, um...they tell me what to say! Yes, you see there's this thing called a 'script' for these films and...I mean, I don't really understand what's *in* it, I just, you know, 'read dem words'! Hahahah!" Pai prattled on, praying that something, anything would come along and save her from this disaster of a conversation.
The first warning bell for the match rang out, loud and clear.
"I'd *love* to chat some more, hun, but..." Sarah clacked her tongue and winked. "Don't wanna be late on our big day, do we?"
"No!" gasped Pai. There were only two stalls, so she dashed past Sarah and the one she was going to use to the far end.
"Pai," Sarah called out after her. "You might want to use this one. The other...well, like I said before: the maintenance here isn't the best."
Pai, already pulling open the door in her panic, was shocked to see there was no lavatory inside, only a few cut off pipes at the far end of the stall where it seemed to have been removed from the cubicle.
"See you in the ring, honey," Sarah said, giving her a little wave.
"D-Don't you need to...um...*go*?" Pai put her fingers over her mouth, and then felt some gladness in an embarrassment that helped disguise some of the darker, stranger emotions Sarah had aroused in her.
The amiable blonde brushed her hand through the air dismissively and flicked her hair. "Don't you worry, hun... I'll find some place to go later."
Sarah blew her a kiss before exiting. For the few minutes Pai spent sitting in that stall, head in hands, before the final bell, her little heart was pumping like it never had before.

The dojo for their fight was small and tidy, the judge, camera crew and other staff members that Pai had awkwardly apologized to for her delayed appearance tucked away from her and Sarah's mat so that they wouldn't appear on the fight replays.
