Mikaela's POV

"I got the next one." Sophia says as the full interview loads up.

"Wait I need to top off my drink." Cairo says.

"Same." A lot of people say then they all get up and top off their drinks.

After everyone's drinks are full, they sit back down then someone presses play.

The beginning of the video is little sound bites of what is to come then the interview is introduced as b roll footage of the inside of Katana's tattoo shop is played.

"On this episode of The Overlap." Gary says. "I sit down with Arsenal and United States keeper, and arguably the best keeper on the planet, Katana Solo."

There's no arguing about it.

"Katana hasn't let in a goal for club or country in over 5 months." Gary says. "We talk about her childhood, Life in the Ukraine, her many buisness interests, and much more."

"I feel like I should know who this Gary dude is, but I have no clue who he is." Sahara mumbles as Katana and Gary pop on the screen.

Katana and Gary are sitting on two tattoo tables in Katana's tattoo room at her shop while Appa and Socks lay on their beds behind the two humans

"Katana welcome to The Overlap." Gary says. "We're here in your tattoo shop, and I have to say this is a really cool place."

"Thanks." Katana says. "It's a nice place to come to work."

"So you're still a tattoo artist?" Gary asks.

"Yeah." Katana says. "We start training at 9 and finish everything by about 1 or 1:30 so after training I come here and do a tattoo or two then I go home and relax with my girlfriend, my dogs, and my family."

"Busy woman."

"Staying busy keeps my mind off everything that's happened in the last year." Katana admits.

"I want to talk about that, but let's start with your childhood." Gary says. "What was your childhood like?"

"The first 14 and half years was great." Katana says. "Last 3 and half sucked."

"Here we go." Kelley mumbles.

"Shut up." Aurora whispers.

"The first 14 and half years I had a Mom and a Dad who doted on me and my sisters 24/7 and treated us like princesses." Katana says. "I've now learned that we lived pay check to pay check, but my sisters and I couldn't tell because our parents gave us everything we could have wanted."

Katana said her dad was the main breadwinner in the family.

Apparently Hope only started making good money after the 2012 Olympics.

"Unfortunately that all came crashing down when my Mom cheated on my Dad with a teammate after the US won gold at the 2012 Olympics." Katana says. "My parents divorced after that then on my birthday in 2013, my Dad died of heart attack, but the Doctor told us he died of Broken Heart Syndrome."

"Wow." Gary says. "The lady your mom cheated on is still on the national team right?"

"She was on the last roster, but I don't know if she will be next." Katana says.

"Of course you talk about me." Kelley says.

"Maybe if you weren't a fucking cheating whore then she wouldn't have to keep talking about you." Aurora says shocking everyone.

Aurora's usually the one who just ignores Kelley.

Katana and Sahara have recently tried their hardest to steer clear of Kelley, but Kelley doesn't seem to take the hint to leave them alone.
