Niki and Miranda moved into a small apartment in Chicago. For the island princess it was a shocking adjustment. The girl who lived a life of luxury and splendor now found herself sharing a cramped apartment with a stranger. "The Princess," however, was intrigued with the idea of roughing it - it felt liberating and invigorating.

Nite Void decided to bring the girls along slowly, training them before providing them with real competition. Niki, however, grew anxious and impatient. After complaining to one of Nite's partners, Niki asked him if there was anything he could do to help her gain some live experience. He suggested that the girls shop themselves around to other promotions and suggested that they contact ACW. Niki and Miranda met with an ACW representative in Chicago and signed on with the promotion. Days later, however, Nite Fights filed a lawsuit against ACW, claiming that ACW had interfered with Nite Fights' contract with Foxe and Alexander.

Tanako X, President of ACW, was furious in that Niki had represented that both girls were free to negotiate and sign with ACW when in fact they were already under contract. "I was first inclined to dump the girls and wash my hands of them," said X. "I talked to Miranda, however, and she explained that one of the Nite Fights representatives had directed her to approach ACW. An investigation later confirmed that a group of the Nite Fights partners were trying to wrestle control of the company away from Void, and instigated the disruption for their purposes." While X did not immediately fire the girls from the promotion, he did make them pay their dues.
