After driving for hours, including stops Rebecca finally arrives at Calgary. Her trip is not over yet as her phone rings as she is pulling into a gas station. As she puts the car into park, she reaches into the cup holder to grab her cellphone. The number is unfamiliar to her, but she flips the phone open and presses send anyways, she brings the phone up to her ear and says,
"Hello?"
There is a silence but a semi deep female voice says
"Rebecca?"
"Yes, thats me. So who is this?"
The woman on the other end sounds confused
"You mean you don't remember me?"
"Not really"
"*Sigh*"
"Why, should I remember you?"
The woman laughs then says
"I was only one of your friends in High School."
Rebecca is still stumped as she didn't have many friends during her last couple of years in high school as she had moved to Virgina to finish school and be with her Father.
"Um....Destiny?"
"Wrong, I think she became a stripper that little cat lover."
It finally hits Rebecca who this woman is.
"WOW, Melissa?"
"At least you remember me a little."
Rebecca knew it was Melissa Armstrong because it was a joke between Her and Melissa that there friend Destiny loved cats because she would only date men with cats, which they found odd.
"I haven't talked to you in years!"
"Well I figured I would call since I moved to Calgary, Canada and knew that you lived in Toronto. Basically just to tell you I was closer then i was."
"YOUR IN CALGARY??"
"Yeesh girl i guess you still have them vocal cords."
Rebecca laughs then replies
"Well I only said that because I am in Calgary right now on official APW business."
"Whats APW?"
"A wrestling federation i just started working in."
"Wrestling? Since when have you been into contact sports?"
"A while. Say, how about we go out to dinner to re-connect?"
She hears nothing as she assumes Melissa is thinking.
"Well sure, I know of this really great place on 32nd Avenue called Carmella's. How about we meet there at 7ish?"
"Done Deal."
"Okay see ya there."
"Yes you will, Bye"
"Bye."
With that Rebecca closes her phone, pumps the gas, and goes to get to her hotel room to get ready to meet her old friend....

[7:00 Carmella's Restaurant] Arriving at Carmella's restaurant, Melissa parks her vintage Indian motorcycle next to a nice new Bentley in the Parking lot of the gourmet restaurant. You see she does not trust anyone with her baby. Walking up to the door of the establishment people all around her do something everyone does, and that is stare at her. She wouldn't blame them, she would stare at a heavily muscled women to, if she weren't one herself. Walking up to the Hostess, Melissa speaks to her with her somewhat deep voice.
Excuse me, is there a reservation under the name Armstrong?
The hostess quickly looks in the book and sees Melissa's name right there on the first open page.
Yes, there is Ms. Armstrong. Your guest has already arrived and been seated, please follow me.
The hostess grabs a menu from the stack next to her podium and starts to lead Melissa towards a table in the back of the restaurant. Arriving at the table the hostess places the menu on the side opposite Reba. Seeing her old friend brings something that has been rare on Melissa's face these days, a smile.

Seeing Melissa made Rebecca say one word under her breath and that word
"Wow."
But after seeing Melissa smile it made her want to smile. Rebecca got up and hugged Melissa and after the hug she says
"So, how did the marines treat you? Not to rough I hope."
Rebecca smilies as she sits back down and waits for Melissa to do the same.

While sitting down, Melissa answers Rebecca with a hearty laugh in her voice.
Nah, The guys were giant pussycats. All joking aside the military was fun. I got to meet new people, see new places and and then blow them away.

Rebecca sits there absorbing every word that her friend has to say, as Melissa ends Rebecca says
"So have you found any special man in your life yet?"

Not wanting to lie to her old friend, but at the same time not wanting her to find out the truth about her preference for women. She does the only thing that she can think of and tells Rebecca a half truth.
No, I can't say that I have. Most guys just look at me and get scared off. Thats fine though I haven't found a guy worth getting excited over anyway.

"Oh"
Rebecca just manages to say as a waiter stands next to there table and hands them two menus and says
"Hello, I am Micheal and I will be your waiter this evening. I will come back in a couple of minutes to get your orders. But would you like to start off with a drink?"
Rebecca looks at the man and says
"I think I will just have a water."
"Ok"
The waiter adds as he scribbles it down on his notepad then says
"Would you care for anything?"
The man is looking at Melissa now.

Get me a tall glass of your best beer.
The waiter scribbles Melissa's order onto his notepad and scurries away to retrieve to ladies drink orders.
So girl, what have you been up to?

"Not much, the only thing really exciting is this Jack McArthur fellow, seems to think that we have a thing going on. It is only because he came into my room at the tower when i didn't have my shirt on and I didn't mind. I mean it probably gave him some more material that isn't a magazine or an internet site."
Rebecca adds waiting to see if Melissa will get the joke.

Getting the joke , Melissa starts to laugh. Taking a couple seconds to respond. Melissa tries to tell a joke along the same lines but she has no real story telling prowess.
That happened to me more than a few times over in Iraq . Those guys that did it got quite an eye full and then just ran off. I swear after the first four or five times they were doing it on purpose. It didn't bother me though, most of my unit was kinda hot.
Melissa throws in that last part to try and give Rebecca the illusion that she does in fact like men.

She smilies at Melissa and says
"Lucky you."
Rebecca then starts to flip through the menu, she doesn't see much appetizing to her right now. She says to Melissa
"Wow, most of this stuff sounds fattening. I'm trying to watch my figure and I haven't been doing a very good job. So I guess its the Greek Salad for me."

Not thinking before she speaks, Melissa says the first thing that comes to mind.
Your figure ain't bad, it's a hell of a lot better than a lot of girls I have seen.
Immediately after saying that, Melissa starts to regret it. She thought that Rebecca would see through her facade and call her out in front of the whole restaurant. To make matters worse, Melissa starts to do the one thing that she has just barely kept herself from doing. She starts to stare at Rebecca's chest. As soon as she starts to stare, the waiter appears at the table bringing the drinks.
Here are your drinks ladies, now are you ready to order your meals?
Thankfully the waiters words cause Melissa to avert her gaze to him . Wanting to get her mind off of her current thoughts about Rebacca , she quickly orders without looking at the menu.
Yes, I will have a 20 ounce T-bone steak, and I want that medium well.
The waiter quickly scribbles that down and turns towards Rebecca.
And What will it be for you maam?

Rebecca starts to think about what Melissa just said 'Better then alot of other girls I have seen' she ponders what Melissa meant by that, she hears the waiter ask her, Rebecca responds
"I think I'll just have a Greek Salad."
After the waiter scribbles down Rebecca's order he says
"You're food will be ready shortly"
As he says that he leaves, that leaves the two women alone at the table, Rebecca decides to think nothing of the comment as she says
"So, what have you been up to since you came back from the military?"

Thank full for the distraction from her thoughts, Melissa starts to tell Rebecca of her life after the Marines.
Well after my enlistment in the Marines ended, I was out of a job for about a month. Then one day I was on a trip to see my brother in NYC when I saw a women being hassled by some dip shit with a camera in a dark alley. I heard her yell for help, and I ran down the alley to help. I ended up knocking the creep out with one punch to the side of the head.
It turned out that the girl was Candice Kayne, her father was some kind of tycoon who owned a large chain of five star hotels. As a way to thank me, she took me to dinner with her and her family to some fancy French joint. During the dinner, she told her mother and father of my helping her. They both were impressed that I took down that creep with a single blow. Not asking for a job I was hired on the spot as her bodyguard, I was in that position for about three years. It was right here in Calgary that I was fired, for reasons still unknown to me. So here I am today. Quite a Interesting story, huh?

"Yea that is pretty interesting."
After Rebecca says that she takes a sip of her water through the straw that was in the glass. After the drink Rebecca finally says
"So, your out of a job huh?"
As this question is asked Melissa looks at Rebecca and says
"Yep, you got any suggestions?"
"maybe you could join APW so we could see each other more often...."
And with this Rebecca waits for a reply...

Melissa had never thought about being a professional wrestler before, but know that the idea had been presented to her it was kind of intriguing.
Honestly, I have never even thought about it. But now that I think about it, I am kinda likeing the idea. I only see one thing keeping me from doing it, and that is the fact that I have now training. Because don't you guys have to go to a special school or something?

Rebecca takes a long sip of her water as she thinks then says
"Well, It is not necessary. But it helps."
After some consideration she adds
"Well I suppose I could teach you a thing or two. Only on one condition though..."

Wondering what the special condition could be, Melissa gets an inquisitive look on her face for a second before asking.
...and that would be...what exactly?

Rebecca looks straight at Melissa with a serious look on her face as she says
"Just promise not to hurt me too much"
Rebecca then breaks the serious look and laughs a little. Just then the waiter comes back with there two trays and says
"There you go madams."
The waiter leaves and Rebecca waits for Mel's reply.

In a pure joking way Melissa responds to Rebecca.
Don't worry, I won't hurt ya, unless you like that sorta thing.
Not really knowing if Rebecca got the joke, Melissa decides to get serious.
In all seriousness though I will take it easy on you.
