Kana and Ayumi Kurihara decided to check out the SoHo district tonight. They take the escalators up past several streets and they get off on Staunton Street.

Kana: Everyone was right. This is a great neighborhood.
Ayumi: I've never seen this many restaurants on one street anywhere.
Kana: We must've passed a couple dozen on the way up.
Ayumi: You wanna talk about work or just check out the sights and sounds?
Kana: Sure. Whatya want to talk about?
Ayumi: I know what happened was no accident, you're not that clumsy. So what did happen?
Kana: When we got back from Los Angeles, Serena was at the apartment. She was acting all friendly and wanted to put our hostilities behind us. Naively I believed her. She said she'd made some coffee and would give some to any of us. I took her up on her offer then WHAM! CRASH! She busted the glass coffeepot on my hand. Thirty some stitches and minor second degree burns have me out of the tournament and without my title. So what happened to you?
Ayumi: I made the rookie mistake of underestimating my opponent. I thought I had her locked and pinned when she countered and WHAM she elbowed me right in the temple.
Kana: Guess we've both underestimated how serious the gaijin girls have gotten.
Ayumi: Nicole Matthews quickly found out how serious I am.
Kana: We need to remember to keep that serious edge all the time.
Ayumi: Why don't we.... be we! Team up, watch eachother's back and maybe go for the tag belts too.
Kana: I'd rather have you on my side than against me. I saw what you do to someone who pins you. Let's be we!
Ayumi: Ohhh cool! Check out what this restaurant has.... poutine!
Kana: What?
Ayumi: Poutine, it's fries covered with cheese and gravy. I had some with LuFisto when we were in Chicago last year. You'll love it, I'm buying.

Dr. Misawa and hir nurse Yumi take a taxi out to Hong Kong University of Science & Technology. They enter through the main atrium and find a reception desk.

receptionist: May I help you?
Misawa: We have an apointment to see Professor Tsim in the biology department.
receptionist: The biology department is on the 7th floor. When you get off the elevator, turn left and it's at the far end of the hall.
Misawa: Thank you.

They take the elevator up to the seventh floor, walk down the hall and enter into the biology department.

Prof. Tsim: Dr. Misawa?
Misawa: That's me. You must be Professor Tsim.
Tsim: When you contacted me, you said you wanted to talk about drug testing.
Misawa: We do. This is my *blush* nurse, Yumi Tokiwa. I'm the ring doctor for the JoshiPuroPride wrestling promotion.
Tsim: Ahhh I've seen a few ads for them.
Misawa: Our owner wants everything to be fair and honest so he's asked me to institute a drug screening process.
Tsim: Come with me to the lab and I'll explain what I've developed.

Professor Tsim opens a locked door and leads them into his lab.

Tsim: The process I've developed is called the High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Chip-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-Chip-MS/MS). It can trace a person's drug-taking history over the past 3 months or more - in terms of what drugs have been taken, when, and the actual dosage.
This procedure has several advantages over urine testing. For the urine test, the sample needs to be taken at a designated place by designated personnel in order to prevent cheating, and the process may create a degree of embarrassment. Secondly, if the urine sample is not tested immediately, it needs to be kept at a low temperature. Secondly, if the urine sample is not tested immediately, it needs to be kept at a low temperature. Finally, hair-based testing offers high reliability. For instance, some test papers used in urine tests are sensitive to certain western and Chinese herbal medicines, resulting in "false positive" outcomes. On the other hand, there are ways that people use to create a "false negative" outcome - such as taking large quantities of water or electrolytic drinks to dilute the urine, or taking certain vitamins to conceal the concentration of drug traces.
While our technology addresses many of the challenges of the urine-based drug test, admittedly it also has certain limitations. First, it can only detect drugs taken 7 or more days ago. Also, the time taken to yield results - one to two days - is longer than the urine-based drug test where the results are shown almost immediately. And currently the cost for our test is somewhat higher than that for a urine-based test.
Misawa: I'm very impressed.
Yumi: So am I.
Misawa: Would we be able to contract your lab to do our testing?
Tsim: I'm sure we could arrange that. I will talk to the school authorities and put together something and get back to you.
Misawa: Thank you Professor, I look forward to this.
Yumi: I do too. I'd must rather handle hair than pee.

Mia & Miguela Martinez get off the subway on their way home from the dojo. They are walking through the station when they see a magazine stand.

Mia: I wonder if our pictures from the premiere the other night are in the magazines yet.
Miguela: They have to be. We're stars! Everyone wants to know about us.
Mia: The pics aren't in this one.
Miguela: Not in this one either.
Mia: We should be in Lady's Gong. I don't believe it, they put Ramu & Keiko on the cover and they're calling them Kimono Dears.
Miguela: That photographer said he'd get our pictures in all the celebrity magazines. We're not even in Asahi Gein.
Mia: They're on another cover. This one is calling them Japan's idol couples. What about us, we're married. We should be idol couples.
Miguela: We're not even in CanCam or Pinky. That photgrapher lied to us. he didn't get our pics in any magazine. We overpaid him.
Mia: This is making me sick! They're even on the front page of today's Tokyo Sports with that puta Kana. (rips the newspaper)
clerk: Get out of here, you never buy anything. You come back I call the police.

Mia and Miguela run off and around the corner.

Hello Hong Kong. The Norwich Doll Britani Knight is back in town. I'm hanging out with the lads here at Yorkshire Pudding in SoHo enjoying a few pints and watching some footy on the telly.
I came back for my second round match in the NWA Women's World Title tournament. I know some of you are saying,"but didn't you get pinned by Kana in the first round?" You're right, I was pinned by Kana and I have the bruises to prove it; she kicks like a drunk mule. But, if you hadn't heard the news, Kana had her hand all bust up and is out of the tournament, so the Norwich Doll is back in.
I haven't forgotten, and I'm sure everyone who was there on New Years Eve hasn't forgotten, Ayako Hamada cost me that match. That crazy fool couldn't stand to see me succeed. Her and her family are jealous of the Knight Dynasty. From her midget father to her bleached blonde blimp of a sister... whatever her name is, they're all jealous of the Knight Dynasty.
Ayako, if you even look at me funny on saturday night, I'll turn out your Knight Light

Asami and Kimiko meet Mr. Chen at Sushi One in Causeway Bay for lunch.

Adam: Good afternoon girls. Have a seat.
Asami: Good morning Chen san
Adam: How are things going with our little promotion?
Asami: Everything is going good.
Adam: How about marketing and media. How are they going Kimiko.
Kimiko: Things are going great. I'll be appearing on Teen Time on Radio 3 tonight to talk about this weekend's show and answer calls. Some of the girls have been giving me designs for t-shirts and other products. The merchandise sales pick up every week.
Adam: That's great. Any news on Kana's recovery. I know we'd all like her back as soon as possible.
Asami: Dr. Misawa says she won't be cleared for a few weeks. The cuts in her hand were deep but no major damage. He's just airing on the side of caution.
Adam: He's a good doctor. I signed the agreement with the University this morning to set up our drug testing program. He's working on a letter that all the girls will get explaining the program.
Asami: I can think of a few girls who'll be upset at that.
Adam: If they choose not to give samples when required, they're welcome to seek work elsewhere.
Asami: One major issue has come up with several of the girls. Some have expressed concern about the travel back and forth from Tokyo ever week. They've asked why the dojo isn't here in Hong Kong. I've run some preliminary numbers. What we pay on travel for the girls and rent for the dojo in Tokyo is a lot more than renting a space here in Hong Kong. I talked with the people at the stadium, we could get a great deal on a long term lease on one of their function rooms. The function rooms have more than enough room for a ring and a workout area.
Asami: I've been thinking about that also. You work on the stadium and equipment and I'll work on more space for our girls to live in.

They go over to the betting counter and place their bets for the first race.
Tess: I had to bet on City Of Lights, he must be named after Las Vegas. What horse did you pick Serena?
Serena: I picked Gallant Mambo because poor little Kana never saw our snake like attack coming *laughs*
Lin: I picked Gold Winner because, well, I'm gonna be a gold winner in JPP

A track worker approaches them.

worker: Excuse me ladies. The Commodore noticed you and has invited you to join him on the Stable Bend Terrace for dinner and drinks and a better view of the track.
Tess: The Commodore! Is he some sort of bigwig?
worker: Commodore Rupert Beaumont George is a retired British Navy officer.
Lin: Ohhhh! A man in uniform, let's go girls
worker: Follow me ladies.

He leads them upstairs to the Stable Bend Terrace. A dapper middle aged man gets up.
Commodore: Thank you for accepting my invitation ladies. I am Commodore Rupert Beaumont George retired and you lovely ladies would be?
Lin: I'm Lin Bairon. These are my friends Srena Deeb and Tess LaCoyle.

In the closest of finishes for place and show were Vital Smart and Good Smile..... in tenth place we have Gold Winner, in eleventh we have City Of Lights and Gallant Mambo rounds out the field.
Commodore: Ohhh tough luck on those nags ladies. We'll win before the night's out. Your next bets are on me.

Ramu Endo, Miyako Matsumoto, Natsuki*Taiyo, Syuri, Makoto, Yuzuki Aikawa and Tomoko Nakagawa have just got off their flight from Tokyo.

Ramu: I'm beginning to hate flying. Feels like I've spent more time with flight attendants than with my fiance.
Natsuki: Fiance... Ronaldo proposed to you?
Ramu: He did it on Christmas day in front of Cinderella's Castle at Disneyworld in Florida.
Miyako: I don't think my guy could ever be that romantic.
Tomoko: Don't tell me you what's his ugly.
Miyako: Jun may look rough, but he's a sweet guy. We have fun whenever we're both free.

They continue along and come to the customs checkpoint. There are a couple hundred people in line.

Miyako: Wasn't Miguela supposed to be on the flight with us? I'm supposed to face her on saturday.
Yuzuki: I saw her at Narita. She and her sister were talking with some gaijin with long messy blonde hair. One of them, not sure who's who, called him Baron. They were looking at some papers then they walked off somewhere.
Miyako: If she doesn't show up, I'm sure Asami chan will find someone.
Yuzuki: Who wants to go dancing tonight?
Miyako: You know I do.

Asami is in the lobby at Queen Elizabeth Stadium waiting for the stadium manager.

manager: Ms Konno.
Asami: Good morning Mrs Tsang.
manager: In your last call, you said you were interested in a long term rental on one of our function rooms downstairs. How long term were you interested in?
Asami: At least a year. With the possibility of longer after that.
manager: Ohhh! That's quite different. the most we've rented them for is 2 days. With a contract that long, I'd have to get approval from the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
Asami: Could we have a look at one of the rooms?
manager: Certainly, come with me.

She unlocks a door and leads Asami down the stairs into one of the function rooms.



manager: Would this suit your needs?
Asami: This is perfect. It has lots of flor room and a high ceiling so we can set up a practice ring.
manager: You didn't say what you wanted to use the room for.
Asami: My apologies on that. Currently our dojo is in Tokyo. A lot of our wrestlers have begun complaining about the travel every week. We'd like to set up our dojo right here.
manager: Ohhhh well....I...
Asami: We'd be willing to put down a large security and damage deposit. We'd also cover the entire floor with padding. Any damage that is caused by our equipment or wrestlers would be taken care of by us.
manager: You read my mind. This room has a few bookings between now and Feb. 14. If we can agree on a contract, it could be yours on the 15th of next month.
Asami: Thank you. This will be so much better for our girls.

Asami and Adam have called a meeting of all the wrestlers and referees before tonight's show.

Asami: Thanks for all being here on time. We have a few things to discuss. I know several of you have complained, openly or privately, about the dojo being in Tokyo and the shows being here in Hong Kong. As of February 15th, you'll have no complaints. Yesterday we agreed on terms to lease one of the function rooms downstairs here at the stadium to use as our new dojo

Adam: To go along with the dojo being here in Hong Kong, I have acquired three more apartments for you all to share. JPP now owns the two story apartment right behind the one we currently own and the one story apartments that take up the rest of the floors we now own. I hope two floors will be enough for all of you. On a more serious matter, Dr. Misawa has something to tell you all.

Misawa: Thank you Chen san. As you all know, drugs are a problem in every athletic endevour. They will not be a problem in JPP. We have initiated a comprehensive drug testing program. Every westler, referee and staff member, even Chen san, will be randomly tested for drugs. A university here in Hong Kong has developed a new screening process using hair samples, so you won't have to pee in a cup... (everyone cheers)... If you are currently taking any medication or supplements or start any in the future, please clear them with me first. Yumi will hand each of you a list of the banned substances.

Adam: If anyone tests positive for any banned substance, you will be suspended for three months and required to enter a treatment program. When you finish the program, you will be allowed to return to training or action. If you refuse to enter a treatment program, your contract will be terminated. A second positive test will also result in immediate termination. Now let's give the fans a great show.

After the show, the girls are slowly heading out to the bus that is waiting out front. Ramu and Keiko head out the door and see a familiar face.

Ramu: Hey By Nor. Great to see you here. Who's your friend?
By Nor: This is my girlfriend Vanessa Altman
Ramu: Very nice to meet you Vanessa.
Vanessa: Nice to meet you Ms Endo. I never knew girls did this. You're all so beautiful and athletic. I loved that kimono you wore.
Ramu: By Nor, I think your girlfriend is a fan now.
Vanessa: Ms Endo. How did you learn how to wrestle?
Ramu: Every girl here learned the same way. We all learned in a school called a dojo from older wrestlers. If you're interested, you could come watch us in training when we move our dojo here next month.
Vanessa: You'd really let me do that?
Ramu: Any friend of By Nor is a friend of mine. I'd be glad to. I'll get in touch with By Nor when the dojo is open.
Vanessa: Thank you Ms. Endo. Come on By Nor, we should get the tram.
Ramu: Have fun you two.
