Chapter: Chapter 19 - The Big Night
Characters: Sara Valentine, Topher Taylor
So…do we pity or envy the attention that he’s sure to get from Sara Valentine? After all, Sara did not have very kind words for Krystin’s Mom, Sidney.

Topher doesn’t seem to be enjoying himself, does he? Vote to see what I mean.
Lol. It’s just not Topher the Gopher’s night. Careful Sara, You just might get a Moline family beatdown if you don’t watch your mouth. Kristine’s a Minnisota wrestler, and we know how Wrestling in Minnisota tends to be a family afair. Just look at the Andersons, or the Hennings
So what happened between panels 5 and 6?
Either the Def Tech t-shirt caught her eye… or she wants to play with Topher – note the VI
Well…someone is going to get kicked upside the head!
Not entirely sure who though…
492-494: Wow. We’re really going for the gusto here, aren’t we? While Kat already exposed herself as a juicer, Chloe isn’t a drug user. She’s just desperate enough to take something illegal before the match and try to hatch a plan to switch samples with the person who wants to kick her butt. Too bad Sabrina’s gonna wrestle and the match will take place.
As for Kat, let that be a lesson to you, ladies: only steroids can make you gain muscles. Trying to do so legitimately is foolish since women can’t gain muscle naturally; only men can. Be careful of the side effects: pixie haircuts, elevated testosterone levels, and lesbianism.
495-497: Ah yes, the old “protagonist hits a low point in the story before she has the flashback that makes her regain her resolve while fitting music plays in the background” routine. I was thinking “Survivor” by Destiny’s Child if this were a movie, but this is Sabrina Mancini, so this is the only song that fits.
Which leads us to our next match. Did…did she just suggest to a fan that he use her poster as spank fodder? Do we also have a case of a jilted ex, which must be why Topher’s trying to hide his face? Anyway, it’s a welcome change from the wave of boring that’s gonna walk out next episode. I can already feel myself falling asleep, so I think I’m gonna be out for a while. Wake me when the Yuri Fangirls come out so I can laugh for a while.
Negative much, JSN? I can’t tell where the trolling ends and the commenting begins :S
Also, wow, Henry’s quite a dick!
Wow. Looks like someone wishes that he had not shown up for the match.
Did our happy little wrestling girl wear clean undies?
Classic heel, tick off the fans by attacking family… nice Sara. Might throw Krys off her game – might also land you in the ambulance.
Yep, The Schoolgirl’s attitudes haven’t changed. Totally in character, plus she has to get back at someone for that beatdown form Krystin a while ago…
It took me a moment to ‘get’ panel six: Hiding behind a bigger man isn’t allowed.
And… I saw a girl wearing a “Penn State Women’s Rugby” T shirt while shopping at the market last night. She went by before I could think to ask if she reads the comic ( fans who remember everything recall Sabrina went there ).
Yep, I’ll be back on Wednesday for the big five- double- O.
Ooooh, that’s what the last panel is about. I thought Sara was just annoyed by the fact that both Henry and Topher were turning away and blanking her.
Whoa! You’re on a roll here boss! Some real OMG moments. And great art too. I love they dynamics and expresssions.
Wow, this match may be over before it begins, when Mom and Sis bring the pain on Valentine! Henry will stay out of it, both because him getting involved would be overkill and because his wife will be far more vicious than he would anyway. ::grin::
And as for Friday’s thread about my ‘heel turn’ and taking over the Belles, only one thing is stopping me – it’s not my comic. 😉 So you are safe for now, Chloe!
Hell turn.. taking over the hell’s belles..
I’m curious..
I smell. cookies..
let’s say.. there’s a more evil heel stable, as Cookie Ogre..
Chloe will turn to face..
now Chloe will be cheered..
maybe Chloe and Sabrina in tag team..
hahaha
Dark Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal cookies…
Ummm, do you prefer to be called Sir, Sire, Most Exhalted Supreme Leader, or shall I just run off and get you another chilled glass of Ogrino Mist?
I usually prefer Boss, Milord, or Your Excellency. 😉
“You go Sassy, tell it like it is! That’s why your poster’s always a top seller! And you just gotta tell me after the match just how big mamma is? Is it possible someone has an ass almost as big as Krystin’s? Just be careful if pops tries to hook up with ya girl- then krystin might start calling you ‘mommy’. Not that she’ll be able to say much after you knock her senesless- well more than usual i mean.
And how dare that Tofu guy ignore you like that- but you know Sassy i guess if i had to stoop to dating Krystin i’d try and hide my face in public too. But hey i’m sure your ‘schoolgirl special’ will cheer him up some. get that boy some ice!
And i hear something about 500 coming up next – Krystin must have really packed on the pounds since we saw her.”
I think one of three things is happening here:
1) Either Taylor is embarrassed by sitting with Krystin’s family and doesn’t want to be seen.
2) That Taylor knows this slu–wrestler and doesn’t want to be seen
3) that he has something in his eye and doesn’t want to be shown on live TV watching until Krystin shows up.
I can’t wait for this match! Going to be the best MMA/Wrestling event of the century. I hope Krystin pulls out a few new moves as well… Thinking a bit of Shinya Aoki Flying Armbar or some solid GSP wrestling 🙂
Panel 2: Sara said “You’ll never have a Girlfirend as hot like me.”
now I disagree on Sara..
Sabrina is hotter than Sara..
Chloe De Sade is hotter than Sara..
Brenda Rua is hotter than Sara..
Sara said “Stay in school”
hahaha!!
Hypocrite!!
Panel 5: hahaha! Sara called Henry a stud..
love panel 6: Sara looks like a pissed Anime Shoujo.. hehehe
“Sabrina is hotter than Sara”
Sabrina is the hawtest!
I think Sara just signed her own death warrant.
Krystin originally was going to be nervous about her family and boyfriend at ringside is now going to be FURIOUS that they were messed with prior to the match, its probably the fire right under her ass she needed to win this match in a very dominating fashion.
Gonna order that Rival Angels pack this week. Loved the sketch book last time and pretty psyched to get a sketch drawing too. 🙂
Valentine is one of those women you want to look at and touch…not listen to. That being said she better keep her distance real quick. Though going by the preview, she gives that lucky bastard a lap dance first.
Oh and cookie I am not trying to start anything…but I heard they are going with brownies instead of cookies. Just thought you should know.
Not to worry, I make brownies too. Wicked, evil butterscotch ones.
So who ratted out the family? Probably Brooke… I think Sara’s little pre-match side show will back fire, giving Krystn the burning desire to demolish Sara…
Had I known you could use Morse-code to tap out, I might have stayed in wrestling a little longer! By the way, Al, that was a great line!
Now how could I miss the rumers about Cookie Ogre taking over Hell’s Bells? Now I have to go back and read all those comments…
by the way..
I think.. Albone should show as the poster of Sara Valentine..
or maybe have it on sale for us..
“I’ll have Hell’s Belles’ poster and Chloe De Sade” hehe
Pity? Envy? No, more like relish at the humiliation, hehe.
I like Sara’s expression in the last panel, it’s definitely very “No, you are not allowed to not give me your attention.”
JSN you make me laugh of course Cloe uses drugs she’s a worthless piece of shit who is a waste of oxygen. Sassy at least looks good so she has at least one redeeming quality of which Cloe has ZERO. And I’ve often found that when you are at your most depressed is when you do pick yourself back up it doesn’t just happen in stories.. Soo looking forward to Sassy getting squished though.
I disagree..
Chloe is the best.. she doesn’t do such things..
Chloe is the ‘White Queen’
In the VI Tropher seems to be screaming “Nooo not gonasyphaherpalaids.” But I could be reading to much into the look. Sara better watch her words, Everyone knows if a girls tough, mamma’s almost always tougher. Bring on the fight!
Donny, or the Gagnes! XD Yeah, Sara is skating on some thin ice here and if she’s not careful, she’s going to get tore up. You can bet that Mama Sidney and/or sister Kiara are itching to get their hands on Sara.
Darkmark, Sara looked and saw that *someone* was purposefully not looking at her. That cant’ happen, at least that’s what she says.
Oh GoldenGirl, that is the real question. Just who is going to get their head kicked in? O_o
JSN, it hasn’t been determined just what Kat and Chloe are trying to hide, but you can bet the drug testing is for all sorts of substances including steroids and diet pills. Without being cute at all, I think you reading into what Sara said about her poster says more about you than anything else. And it’s cool, but in my mind, that was a pretty big reach.
Stygimoloch, Henry is playing the ‘Dad’ card for all it’s worth. XD And yeah, Topher wishes he were 3 inches tall right about now.
LOL Snowy! Yah, Topher wishes he would’ve came out a few minutes into the match, but you know, Sara would’ve came out then so this was really inevitable. As for Sara’s undies, I’m just glad she’s wearing any!!
Dyna, you said it there. Ambulance or distraction. Which can it be? It’ll be fun to find out. 😉
Hey RDF! Your Rival Angels history is solid! I do believe we’ll be seeing the Penn State Rugby uniforms showing up early next season and really, every Nittany Lion fan ought to be reading Rival Angels. XD See you on update 500!
Thanks Champ! Glad you’re here for the ride. 🙂
Cookie Ogre, I think you’re going to be running things soon no matter what! Cookies, as we all know, are power. You’re right about Sidney and Kiara being more ferocious than Henry. He’ll stay back because he’s not silly enough to get hit by any shrapnel.
jpiv…I can’t believe you….ah, Minxy. XD I don’t know what I can say except that was a great promo. 😀
Kurt, it seems that you and Krystin share some GSP love! Expect Krystin to be bringing her A-game, though all of this family drama might be enough to knock her off balance. Ah, Topher….he thought things were going so well until he sat down. lol
LOL MGC, I’m glad you liked the update and that’s a great idea about seeing Sara’s poster. Maybe we’ll have to see the kid in the crowd’s poster. lol There are a lot of hot girls in Rival Angels, aren’t there? XD
RAWF, I do think Sara is taking her own life in her hands here. She’s a vet so she must know something about what she’s doing but it is a little dangerous isn’t it? It should be interesting to see what our first glimpse of Krystin will be like in this match. And yay for ordering the book! I’ll make sure to save you a copy. 😉
BBD, it’s true that it looks like Topher is going to be getting some special Sassy attention but he doesn’t seem to be quite enjoying himself. 😛 Sara’s going to have be on her game to deal with a potentially dangerous Def Tech. Brownie Swerve…!!!!
GhostEraser, it’s such a good bit about Cookie Ogre taking over. XD And glad you liked the Morse Code bit! Just wait til Henry gets going! LOL I think Sara is going to prove whether or not she’s a genius or crazy.
Hey Chris! I know you’re a Def Tech fan and I know you’ll enjoy seeing the schoolgirl get what’s coming….but…is that how it’s going to go down?
Right on, Tiffany! Sabrina is back on the rise, and with the way Sara is antagonizing Krystin’s loved ones, it’s hard to think that a certain schoolgirl isn’t about to get steamrolled…!
Ninja’d by Vekara! That is a very good point about daughters and mothers. If Sara’s not careful, she might get a double dose! Yeah, poor Topher. He can’t win. lol
Lots of smack talk going on in today’s comic. Looking forward to the 500th update this week! 🙂
wow OH man Krystin you pops may beat you to the punch in whoopin sara’s ass
Mr Ogre’s got my vote for taking over the ding-a-lings. The boss knows power when he sees it, and Ogre’s cookies are like out there. They are the ideal all other cookies aspire to.
Valentine, on the other hand, is just an ass. But at least she knows to stay away from me, and not even turn her sights to even the same zip code as me. I think she’s gonna get that lesson from Krystn tonight!
Looking at the voting incentive and I have to ask though it may be stupid, what happened to her already short skirt. That girl sure loves to strip doesn’t she?
I think Sara is going to need a med tech before the evening is over.
Trevor, it is looking forward to you too!
Comichero, you can bet that Henry is plenty angry, but the real threat is from Momma Sidney and Sister Kiara.
Champ, it’s like the power of the cookie compels you! You know how Sassy rolls…she’s had a few words for the champ, but never when the champ’s been around.
SotC…I do believe you’re right about the lack of skirt in the VI!
LOL Coel…I think it could be a long night for Sara.
Sara lives up to her Sassy monicker. Heck, Krystin can’t handle the mental game, her temper and self doubt show that, so the more Sara gives Krystin to mull over or get angry about, the less focused she will end up being.
Of course the outcome is pretty much written on the wall but any Sara Valentine appearances are great in my book.
there comes a point when the mental game turns into just stupidity on your part. Mental games are all well and good but if you take it too far the target will get too angry and find a way to beat you.
And MGC what the hell are you smoking? When has cloe done anything other than be a cheating skank hoe?
I’m not smoking anything…
I love Chloe De Sade..
Chloe De Sade is a professional heel.. that why she acted that, way..
and Skank hoe should be Sabrina..
Oh! She wasn’t saying he was going to be an eternal virgin (…cause you’ll never have a girlfriend), she was saying he’ll always have to settle for less (…cause you’ll never have a girlfriend as hot as me.). The poster is just a reminder of what he will never have. Now I got it.
And since Krystin’s not going to do a promo, this match has suddenly become more interesting.
BTW, I’ve never heard of a college’s athletic organization give out full rides for club sports, which rugby is and has always been at Penn State. Too bad she dropped out; she could have had a fallback plan with her B.S. in kinesiology.
Well, two things I can tell you about my coming reign of power, Albone: 1) I know better than to tick off Gabrielle (or the guy that created her), which puts me ahead of the Belles’ current leader. 2) There will not only be the Power of the Cookie, but our chief weapons will be surprise and fear…and chocolate cream pies. Our THREE chief weapons will be surprise, fear, and pies! And awesome hats. Accepting applications now! 😉
Picky, I’m glad you are enjoying the Sara appearances, and you’ll be seeming ‘more’ of her shortly, if you get my meaning. XD
Tiffany, that’s a great point about overreaching the plan, in this case, the mental game. I don’t think there’s any question that Sara has crossed the line with Krystin’s family, and we’ll find out shortly if that plan is going to work or not.
You got it, JSN. Sara was just being a mean heel. Glad you expect a more interesting match. XD You are on the money with the Penn State rugby scholarship. If you do a google search for it, you’ll see that it’s not much money at all. A drop in the bucket really (though there are private scholarships too) but you bring up a really great story point that’s already been written by my friend, Peter Vine of http://www.Hard-Graft.net for Season 2. He wrote it like, a year ago so we’re both really keen on working on it.
LOL Cookie Ogre! Well, maybe you can bounce that fool Michael out of his #2 seat. I’m sure the girls would rather see you than him. I’m sure the applications line will be long. XD
I hope krystin do well in this match, I would hate for her to have her job the line if she loses to slut Valentine. I believe that Kiara or Sidney is going to get involved some type of way in this match up…
