Ashleigh Banfield and Luciana Carro slowly climbed into the ring in opposite corners. Ashleigh hadn't taken this match seriously which was obvious from her loose white button up shirt which came down over her white shorts and the fact that she still wore her "trademark" horn rimmed glasses. Ashleigh had called Luciana "the true beauty of BSG.", which had not endeared her to either Trisha Helfer, Katee Sackoff, or Grace Park all of whom stood on the outside of the ring. Ashleigh was relieved to see Megyn Kelly, Soledad O'Brien, and Jodi Applegate outside the ring as well, at least she hoped they would be on her side if she had to get out of the ring in a hurry. Ashleigh looked across the ring and her jaw dropped when Luciana dropped her black robe. The 5'4" mousey little brunette she had assumed would be an easy fight was lean muscled little spitfire and Ashleigh knew she should not have accepted this match.
"I think I'm going to get hurt." moaned Ashleigh as she walked toward the middle of the ring.
The bell sounded and Ashleigh held up her hand toward Luciana as a signal to wait.
"Just a moment." said Ashleigh.
Ashleigh smiled as she pulled her glasses off and handed them to Luciana.
"What am I supposed to do with these?" asked Luciana.
Instead of an answer Ashleigh raised her knee, catching Luciana in the gut. Luciana's cheeks puffed out and her eyes widened as she dropped the glasses and bent a little. Ashleigh kicked her glasses over to the side of the ring and wrapped her arm around Luciana's head in a headlock. Luciana bent a little bit more, put her hands behind Ashleigh's thighs.
"Oh dear!" gulped Ashleigh as Luciana picked her up off the mat.
Luciana arched her back and fell backward. Ashleigh saw stars as her head bounced off the mat. Luciana rolled to her feet and Ashleigh rolled over on her stomach. Ashleigh scrambled up to her hands and knees and crawled out of the ring. When Ashleigh to her feet she saw the stern face of Katee Sackoff waiting on her. Ashleigh backed up and bumped into Trisha Helfer Trisha grabbed Ashleigh's arms and pulled them back.
Now ladies, can't we talk about this?" asked Ashleigh.
Ashleigh lost her desire to talk when Katee punched her in the stomach. Katee grabbed Ashleigh's collar and ripped open her shirt showing a white sports bra underneath. Trisha turned Ashleigh and pushed her back under the bottom rope.
"Just had to sign a lumberjack match. And people think you're smart." groaned Ashleigh as she got back to her feet.
Luciana ran toward Ashleigh ready for a clothesline, but Ashleigh ducked out of the way. When Luciana bounced off the ropes and came back toward her, Ashleigh grabbed the smaller woman by the throat with both hands. Ashleigh grunted as she picked Luciana up over her head. Ashleigh smiled as she listened to the referee count to four, then slammed Luciana down flat on her back. Luciana was wheezing and seeing stars as she got up to her hands and knees. Ashleigh whipped off her shirt and enjoyed a few cat calls and wolf whistles from the crowd, then wrapped the shirt around Luciana's throat. Ashleigh again listened to the referee's count, then at four, flipped Luciana through the ropes and out onto the floor at Soledad's feet. Soledad lifted Luciana to her feet and was about to push her back into the ring when Megyn interupted her and landed a few hard kicks into Luciana's back. Soledad shoved Megyn back and pushed Luciana under the bottom rope.
"Always the goody-two-shoes." complained Ashleigh as she picked Luciana up by her hair.
Luciana pushed Ashleigh's hand away, then landed two quick left jabs into Ashleigh's belly followed by a right punch into Ashleigh's nose. Ashleigh stumbled back checking her nose to make sure it wasn't broken. Ordinarily Ashleigh would have been amazed by Luciana's vertical leap, but since the drop kick found one of Luciana's feet in Ashleigh's chest, and the other smacked into Ashleigh's jaw, she was too dazed to care. Ashleigh found herself laying flat on her back with Luciana laying across her and holding her left leg up for extra leverage. Ashleigh rolled over with a grunt when she heard the referee hit the mat for the second time. Ashleigh got to her hands and knees, but Luciana had already made it to her feet. Luciana took a couple of steps then punted toward Ashleigh. Ashleigh screamed in pain as the toe of Luciana's boot drove up into her belly.
"Is that all you've got?" asked Luciana as she grabbed a handful of Ashleigh's hair.
Ashleigh groaned as she was pulled to her feet. Luciana smiled as she slapped Ashleigh across the cheek.
"You can talk pretty big, but can't back it up." taunted Luciana.
Ashleigh put her arms around Luciana, pinning Luciana's arms to her sides and bending her knees slightly pulled Luciana in closer to her. Luciana squirmed as she found herself trapped against Ashleigh's body and her face buried in Ashleigh's breasts. Ashleigh held Luciana until the referee counted to four, then let the smaller woman go and drop to the mat. Ashleigh reached down to grab Luciana's hair, but much Luciana quickly rolled her into a small package. Ashleigh kicked her legs, but not fast enough as the referee counted to three. As Ashleigh got to her feet Luciana slid under the bottom rope. Ashleigh hung her head and kicked the bottom turnbuckle as the referee raised Luciana's hand in victory.
