Backstage at Takedown.
Another week in the books, Andrews and NGS had a good showing, but ultimatly couldn't win against the team of Emi, Cami, and the Real Steele brothers. With another Takedown in the books that meant one thing Road 2 Glory. Like everyone else on the card Andrews had the week off to prepare for his match against Taufik at MPW's biggest show, and what better why to prepare then to head back home and hit the gym.
(At the airport.)
Andrews had gotten his ticket for his flight, the plane he was going to be on wouldn't leave for a while though, due to weather delays so he decided to look around the airport for awhile, that is until Taufik, and surprisingly, Jamal, came down the concourse toward him, from the tidbits of the conversation he was hearing it sounded like they where in the same boat as him.
Jamal: "The weather won't allow us to leave yet."
Taufik: "That is to be expected, it has been pretty bad here in regards to the weather lately."
As they are talking Andrews walks up.
Andrews: "Hey guys."
Jamal: "Why are you here?"
Andrews: "Look Jamal, drop it for now okay, do you see any MPW cameras? No you don't, so for now no gimmicks no kayfabe, we will just hang out."
Jamal was about to voice his displeasure before Taufik cut in.
Taufik: "He has a point Jamal, he is waiting to go home just as we are so for now we are just fellow travelers who will not be going anywhere any time soon, so Andrews I heard you had a match this week, how did it go?"
Andrews: "Alright, I was able to eliminate one of the Steele brothers, but almost instantly got pinned by I think Cami, if I'm right."
Taufik: "Seems to be troubling, to be eliminated by a woman."
Andrews: "Not really, they are really good wrestlers, plus with how I was raised, I probably wouldn't have hurt them anyway."
Taufik: "Really?"
Andrews: "Yes I was raised never to hit girls, the business we are in makes it tough to follow those morals, but I do any way."
Taufik: "That is very admirable, it seems, unlike somebody *glares at Jamal* you know how to separate business and personal."
Andrews: "Yeah, by the way Jamal, sorry I beat you up so bad, I just wanted to make it believable for the cameras you know."
Jamal: "Fine, whatever apology accepted."
Taufik: "Jamal, do not hold a grudge, he was just doing his job as my rival, outside of MPW there are no hard feelings."
Jamal: "Understood."
Andrews: "Seems like he still has more to learn."
Taufik: "Yes he does." *looks at the delay board.* "Our plane is about to take off, we will take our leave, see you later Ian."
Andrews: "I'll be seeing you at Road 2 glory, just don't be a sore loser after I plant you head first in to the Canvas."
Taufik: "You are mistaken, as I will make you tap to Praise Allah."
With that Taufik turned to make his flight back to Singapore.
It felt good, for Andrews to just talk to Taufik the person and not Taufik the gimmick, it had been to long since they could just talk like people. Any way Andrews had to get going to or he would miss his flight back to Boston.
(Back in Boston.)
Andrews was home, it seemed like the more he was on the road, the more relaxing it was to come home, naturally. Ian had walked out of the airport when a young man walked up.
Kid: "Are you Ian Andrews?"
Andrews: "Yeah that's me."
Kid: "Can I have you're autograph?!"
Ian wasn't going to ignore a fan he took the kids book and signed his name on the page, as he was handing the book back the kid started talking.
Kid: "You seem to be nicer to me then you where to my friend who went to the show."
Andrews: "That's because, I'm away from the Cameras, when there are no cameras the wrestlers are just normal people."
Kid: "I knew it, I always tell my friend that, but he never believes me."
Andrews: "Next time you see him, just tell him that Andrews said Hi."
Kid: "Sure."
With that the kid leave with a smile on his face.
Andrews: "It's so good to be back home."
