Dean was a happy camper. A very happy camper actually. He was the coach of a female roller derby team and that conjured up all kinds of lovely images. Lucky for the girls, Dean had been a coach at a school before. Okay the job had lasted as long as the ghost had been terrifying the school but still, he had experience

So when that guy Dean happened to be in there standing far too close to images that might be recognizable,** she pushed out her chest a la Kei, smiled widely, and acted.
"Well, hello there!" She smiled then made a very obvious mock-frown. "I saw you were going to be coaching one of the roller derby teams, and not the one Kei and I are on. Very disappointed that you're going to be losing those matches."
She winked.
*The Dirty Pair
**Pick whichever cover you like, but I was thinking of Sim Hell. That's where they come after, so Start the Violence, Fatal But Not Serious, and Run From the Future have not happened yet.

"Want to bet on that?" He returned her wink. "I saw that my team will beat yours. Who's your coach?"

Hopefully, Kei wouldn't think he was hot. Yuri lowered her voice.
"You know Kei can take a beating and keep on keeping on, right?" She smiled ingenuously. What, he'd slept with Kei, not that they'd actually slept. She'd had to deal with guys the morning after, and they weren't always in the best shape, the poor things. Most of them got pancakes.

Great.
"Is he a mechanic? And, um, will Kei like him?" Kei liked men who were good with their hands. "I mean, not that she hasn't mentioned you. A million times."
A slight inching over to cover the comics wall.

"If she likes grumpy old men that speak their minds." Which Dean will probably become if he ever reaches Bobby's age.

"He isn't likely to put us in costumes as tiny as some of these, is he?" Yuri asked, turning and pointing. Oops. Lalalala. "Because, ummm, those bunny things just weren't made to fight in. Seriously."
She nodded.
"Not only do they not fit well if you have any real cleavage--ignore Kei's remarks about me on that--but they ride up if you're kicking and stuff. The concept of road rash on my butt is thoroughly unattractive." She gave Dean a look. "So your team can wear that. If you want them to hate you."
She made a face.
"At least we get knee and elbow pads. Falling a few stories in a halter and shorts is killer on your joints."

“While the idea of hot women in bustiers and short shorts has a lot going for it. I hadn’t planned on using it for a uniform. Though the fishnets might not be so bad.” He winked at her.

"If you ever use that name I'll tell Kei and you'll be in handcuffs so fast you won't know what hit you. It won't be in a good way and it'll be Kei that hit you. A lot." She nodded, all business. "And a 250-pound mad cat in your face won't make you happy, especially if he's been drinking coffee."
The smell was enough to kill on its own.
"That said..." she smiled again. "Feel free to have your team wear whatever you like. Unless you've got memory fabric, you're going to spend a fortune in fishnets if you have them wear those. They are comfortable, though. I mean, just to wear."
Kind of like a leg massage when you walked.
"Have you seen the 3WA uniforms?" Halters and shorts. "Not those, although they don't look bad either."

"Duly noted." He put his fingers to his temple in a salute.
"I think Kei showed me the uniform when I was looking around your ship but I don't remember what they look like really." He just remembered thinking both of them would look hot in it.

Kei would agree with that.
"Be rested." Ahem.
"Anyway... I really do think your team is going to lose to ours. If Bobby is anything like you he'll want to trash you as much as you want to trash him. And he's got the top team of 3WA trouble consultants on his side. We've never failed to solve a case." And the collateral damage in lives and property destroyed was too high to calculate. "So you have been warned. About several things."
The name 'The Dirty Pair' was taken from a pair of female Japanese wrestlers called the Beauty Pair. They look nothing like Yuri and Kei.

"We got to be the top team of trouble consultants when we were nineteen because... hey, wow, we had the desire to be the best." Durrrrr. Yuri smiled. "I really do think we'll win, but I'd like to see you do well because you're so cute."
No lie, he was really cute.
*This is comic canon. Yuri was supposed to win the fight but Kei cheated and they kept it. It got real ugly after that.

Bleah.
"Anyway, I should let you get on with selecting your reading material. Or, um, whatever you use it for." None of Yuri's business, and she liked it that way. "Good to see you."
She turned.
"Though seriously, Kei wouldn't mind saying hi and not much else, if you know what I mean. She likes you." Hey, it was an offer of free sex, no strings attached. They were talking about Kei here.
