Bubblegum Crisis

Lollypop and Candy (unknown who is who)

**Bubblegum Crisis** are a professional wrestling tag team consisting of **Candy** and **Lollypop** currently signed to and working with the Waifu Wrestling Alliance where they are former WWA Tag Team Champions, having held the championship once.

## Early Life

Candice and Layla are twin sisters, born in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the daughters of a wealthy confectionery mogul. Both Candice and Layla begun colouring their hair early on in their lives, and have not stopped since. It is said that even those close to the sisters can't tell them apart, nor keep track of who has what colour hair at any particular time.

Both sisters are affected by heterochromia. To offset the bullying they would often receive as young children, each begun wearing coloured contacts as soon as they were able, and change them around frequently.

Each of the sisters held a strong love of theatre and drama classes throughout school, and have mastered quick-change techniques, allowing them to swap their outfits almost instantaneously.

## Professional Wrestling Career

### Waifu Wrestling Alliance (WWA)

#### Early Career

A very early pre-roll signalled the impending debut of the team then known as "Bubble Gum Blast", but these were discontinued after only one showing. Further debut vignettes for the renamed "Bubblegum Crisis" aired some weeks before Waifus Collide, but were phased out until after the event. The team, now known individually as Candy and Lollypop began training in the WWA Dojo and were set to debut sometime after Showdown in Spaghetti Town.

Their official debut came in mid-April 2023 at WWA 146, where Bubblegum Crisis were booked to face the reigning champions, the Tropical Lovers. Bubblegum Crisis would put up a good fight, but were eventually defeated when Wild Emerald pinned Candy (or was it Lollypop?). The twins would soon after face a makeshift team of Sue Plex and The Boston Crab, where they achieved their first win in the WWA. Bubblegum Crisis would then be scheduled to face the team of Onigiri and Shogun Aina of the group known as the Stellar Stars in the first two-on-two match of that team's combination. When the match occurred, Bubblegum Crisis were victorious when Lollypop (or was it Candy?) pinned Shogun Aina. The next match for Bubblegum Crisis was set to be against the second incarnation of Warhorse, Mare Equine and Karna. Bubblegum Crisis were unsuccessful in this match, ending their budding streak at just two wins.

In an attempt to get their groove back, Bubblegum Crisis would then challenge the Disco Divas, Jen Eddie and May Calls. Bubblegum Crisis would win this match via a superkick and quick pinfall, similar to how they defeated the Stellar Stars previously. In an attempt to keep their momentum going, Bubblegum Crisis would call out any two competitors willing to face them in the ring. This open challenge was answered by mother and daughter team, Curry Girl and Masala. Bubblegum Crisis would win this match, matching their then-high record of wins at two, but would be too late to declare themselves for the upcoming WWA Tag Team Championship Tussle Ladder Match at Onsen A Lifetime.

Shogun Aina and Onigiri would once against challenge Bubblegum Crisis in tag team competition following the Stellar Stars' individual matches at Onsen A Lifetime. The toll these matches had taken would lead Bubblegum Crisis to another big win, and this win would draw the attention of the tag team champions, Tropical Lovers. The champions would issue a dual challenge to both the reformed original due of Warhorse (Mare Equine and C.A.M.O.) as well as Bubblegum Crisis for a triple threat tag team match for the WWA Tag Team Championships, which Bubblegum Crisis accepted. Bubblegum Crisis would lose this match when C.A.M.O. pinned Candy (or was it Lollypop?) once again resetting their win streak. Disappointed but undeterred, Lollypop and Candy would seek new competition, and find it in the form of Kinoko Chu and Blanche. Bubblegum Crisis would earn the win in a hard fought contest.

Soon after Clash in the Kingdom, Bubblegum Crisis would be informed that one of the sisters was to face Amy Flame in a singles meeting. The sisters opted for which of them to be chose to be done so randomly, and Candy was chosen (or it could have been Lollypop?). Enraged, and looking to get one up over Flame, Kelly DiVanna booked herself into a match with the other sister, Lollypop (unless it was Candy?) and the two singles matches took place at WWA 229. Unfortunately, both matches resulted in astonishingly quick, one-sided beatdowns from their opponents, leading to them taking a break for further training.

#### The Night Villa Party and Club Cyberia

In the weeks before Judge, Yuri & Executioner, both Candy and Lollypop would attend a party at the Night Villa thrown by former professionally rival, Onigiri. The twins were what can only be described as absolute menaces, including finding an old foam machine (purportedly to belong to either Shogun Aina or Keron Croakie, a former inhabitant of the Villa). Upon turning this on, an entire room would be transformed into a foam pit, where Candy and Lollypop would be joined by the likes of Andi Kestrel, Amy Flame and even The Queen at various times, as a huge mess was caused. Once the party had finally ceased, Bubblegum Crisis would spend the night on a couch, and stay behind to clean up as best they could the following morning. Once the pair were noticed by Shogun, they would run off giggling, promising to return.

Sometime later, in the final days before *Judge, Yuri & Executioner*, the pair would run into newcomer SHEE6, along with her friend Valarie, at Club Cyberia, a cyberpunk themed club in downtown Spaghetti Town. Unknown to the sisters, outside a blizzard was raging and several WWA talent were going to war with an army of penguins. The four would bond surprisingly quickly, and become friends. When Raquel Durango appeared to attack Winter Girl, who was also in attendance, an unfortunate casualty was the on-duty deejay, DJ Dolph Spin. As Dolph Spin was taken to a local medical facility, Candy (or maybe it was Lollypop?) suggested the two take over, which they did for the rest of the night. The four of Candy, Lollypop, Valarie and SHEE6 headed back to SHEE6's mother's place in a Raguber, after rescuing Durango who had passed out in the snow.

Back at SHEE6's mother's home, Raquel would be put into the guest bedroom and both of Bubblegum Crisis would be able to change into some of SHEE6's clothing, as their own was dampened from the blizzard. Soon, Lollypop (or was it Candy?) would help SHEE6's mother, Claudia, prepare a dinner of tacos, before the quartet would sit down to watch the PWE together. The next morning, the sisters rose early and cleaned the kitchen and lounge area where they had slept, before disappearing into downtown Spaghetti Town giggling about ice cream.

#### Championship Aspirations

When the Birds of Prey (Andi Kestrel and Robyn McDaid) won the WWA Tag Team Titles at *Judge, Yuri & Executioner*, the new champions would hold an open challenge to determine who they would next face for the championships. Surprisingly, only Bubblegum Crisis would put their names into contention, and a championship match was set. However, dissatisfied with a title match without having had to earn it, the sisters instead proposed a match where the winners would pick a stipulation for the impending title match. The reigning champions would go on to win that match in a close contest, and would pick a ladder match as the championship stipulation.

When Bubblegum Crisis met the Birds of Prey in the ladder match at WWA B1: Temporary Respite, After a back and forth struggle, including the sisters almost coming to blows at the top of a ladder, the Birds of Prey would focus their attacks on Candy (or was it Lollypop?) outside the ring, allowing Lollypop (or was it Candy?) to retrieve the belts and become the new WWA Tag Team Champions. Almost immediately, the new champions would declare open season on their tag team titles, however due to the ongoing B1 Climax 2023, many teams were unavailable. Not content to wait until the end of the tournament, Bubblegum Crisis would extend the rematch offer to the Birds of Prey, opting to defend the titles in a 'Sugar Tornado' tag team contest, combining the styles of their earlier loss and the ladder match victory. This was was officially scheduled to take place at the B1 Climax 2023 Finals, where the Birds of Prey were victorious, ending the first reign of the Bubblegum Crisis.

## Professional Wrestling Style and Personas

Both Lollypop and Candy are highflyers who use their small statures to catch their opponents off guard. Each is highly skilled in luchador wrestling and uses springboard offence with ease. their movesets mirror each other, or act complimentary to their opposite. Both also have strong technical bases, and such each of them have a secondary submissions known as the *Liquorice Twist*, a modified single leg crab.

Their promos take the form of free-flowing back-and-forths where each cuts the other off to start a thought of their own, until eventually they are on the same page. Their promos then switch to rapid fire call and response, sometimes rhyming. One of the sisters, though it is unknown which at any time, has a tendency to swap the names of their opponents and themselves around to create match ups that are not possible. One of the sisters, though again unknown which, is prone to being a ‘buzzkill’ when the other says something wildly incorrect. These little spats never last long, and the two are back to finishing each other’s ~~sandwiches~~ sentences in no time.
