Producers were giving directions to Rat n'Cat connection as they were about to make their entrance. And Bubblegum Crisis were grinning at each other as they looked at the titles in their waist. Paule was so excited by her win that she didn't even remember that the rainbow duo lost them some shows ago. Yet she remembered to avoid Ratasha. She hopped away from gorilla and into backstage, it felt exciting, this was the first time she was backstage after a match, usually, she ended up in medical. In the distance, she saw how Spaghetti Dog lifted a paw, and the Canadian answered back with a thumbs up. She even had the blessing of the booker.
With hunched shoulders, half crying, and a smile on her face, Paule explored the environment as she sat on a crate. She felt a fuzzy feeling in her stomach. And wondered how her family might be reacting now. She closed her eyes and imagined the reaction of her brother, her mother, her father, and her grandma. She couldn't wait to come back to the dojo and call them. As she was drifting into thought she noticed Ash in the distance. And she immediately ran to greet her:
>Coooooooooooooooooooooooooach!>Did you see that!?Paule leaped to her coach and hugged her:
>I did it!
