Well, it finally happened today. After all the talking, trashing, voting.....Megan 'n I met to settle things once and for all. Wearing brand new kinis for the occasion, we decided the fairest way was a Best Two-Out-Of-Three fight to submissions, no pins.
I was pretty confident going in, even tho I know how evenly matched we are in every way. But I found out really fast how tough Meg is 'n how determined she was. The first fall took a long time, by the time it ended we were both tired 'n sweaty, I had even more respect for her at the end 'n I think she felt the same about me. I finally managed to get her to submit the fall 'n then we both took a break to rest up for the next one.
I was still tired going in to the second fall but I knew Meg was too 'n I figured that being ahead 1 fall to none, I had an advantage. I was wrong. Even tho she was as tired as I was, Meg wasn't gonna make it easy for me. We battled for what seemed like forever....I know it wasn't really that long but it sure felt that way. Neither of us wanted to lose 'n we both were lucky to escape submission attempts until Meg trapped me 'n I couldn't break free so I had to submit the fall to her.
Now we were tied 1 fall apiece. Both completely exhausted, we were too spent to even sit up...We just stayed laying on the floor next to each other trying to catch our breath. Then the weirdest thing happened. At the exact same time we both said that we'd be happy to just have it end right now this way....tied, even, a DRAW.
I coulda gone on 'n I know Meg coulda gone on too. But we both really didn't need to prove anything else to ourselves. We both know we're not the biggest cats in the fight, we're 'kittens' ... evil kittens .... because no matter how many times ya try to put us down, we'll keep getting back up 'n keep fighting. That's what we do. We didn't need to prove that to each other.
