"Is this, like, our personal training room?"
Diana smiles. "No, no, you'll be training out there with the rest of the students, of course. This is your dorm room. You two'll be staying here while you hone your skills. They've got all the comforts of home!"
Annie's face falls.
"Wait, what? Sharing a ROOM? HERE? No, hang on, let me call Papa. He'll get us a mansion up in Carbonera Heights or at least a luxury condo downtown and we can just stay there instead. Hahaha, imagine, sharing a room on the Dojo!"
Annie looks at Carrie with a nervous smile, but Diana shakes her head.
"This is part of the journey, girls!" Diana says. "This is reality TV! They're gonna want videos of you two sharing a tiny room, roughing it and struggling to get along, on your social media! It'll make your story relateable! The people want AUTHENTICITY, so we gotta make it seem like you're another poor, struggling Dojo kid, Annie."
Carrie shrugs.
>"No problem, it's basically like summer camp, but with wrestling lessons. Got it. What's the plan?"Diana spreads her arms. "Show up for your drills every day and get your skills in shape, and we show everyone how hard you're working, how much you're struggling, and how tough you have it so they all sympathize with you. Meanwhile, you be your adorable selves in unguarded moments, but also start doing promos and putting up your videos. Then when the time is right, probably some time in May, we get you ladies booked, and you go out there with such amazing athleticism and RAW CHARISMA that it melts people's faces and blows everyone away, and the Overnight Sensations take the WWA, and the whole world, by storm. And then you sit back and count all your money."
Annie giggles.
"Nah, I'll just hire an accountant to do that for me!"
