>>9720926>Clara interrupts"A standard? Amy, you're a good hand but this roster is full of good hands. We have sixteen rookies fighting in a tournament right now and while you're dragging your feet some of those girls have already leapfrogged you. We need you to be a superstar and right now you're anything but."
>Amy clenches her jaw"I'm trying my best..."
>Clara leans in"I disagree. I saw you at the show yesterday cheerleading with Sapphire and Sola Fire, it was fun and spontaneous, we liked it. Have you considered asking Sapphire to manage you?"
"Sapphire is a Divine Angel and she's four inches taller than me."
"Amy, you worry so much about the minor details that you miss the big picture. Sapphire is in a high profile position making big money without ever taking a single bump. She saw an opportunity and she took it."
>Clara unfolds her arms"Look at Ash Romero, she saw an opportunity and landed herself a commentary gig for the Rookie Cup. I understand you're living with her now. Have you considered asking her to mentor you, Hell, what about asking her to tag with you?"
>Amy looks at the floor"I'm not trying to demoralise you Amy, I'm trying to give you a reality check. You need to smarten up and start taking this seriously, but also stop worrying about the little things and have fun out there. Your mic work is very good and with a little time it could be great, you have babyface fire and people do seem to listen when you talk, you just need to apply that same passion and energy to other aspects of your game, does that make sense?"
>Clare smiles"I have high hopes you you Amy and I hope that the next time we talk you'll have taken what I've said on board."
"Oh, try and stay away from Nikki Kade from now on. You two are a bad influence on each other."
