Katana's POV

"Everyone ready?" I ask as I stand in-front of the podium with my twin.

We got to Manchester two days ago and today is our relaxation day.

I'm filming another battle of the brains video while Mikaela goes and shops with her mom and her friends, who came to watch me play, then I'm gonna meet up with them for dinner. 

Sahara and I are hosting this years Battle of the Brains.

"Yep." Everyone says.

"Camera's Rolling." One of the media people say. "Action in 3...2...1...On you."

"Hello Everyone and Welcome to the US Women's National Team Battle of the Brains 2023." I say as I look into the camera dedicated of me and my co-host. "I'm Katana Solo, one half of your hosts for the evening."

"And I'm Sahara Solo." My twin says. "The other half of your hosts for the evening."

"Tonight, 7 teams will go head to head in a battle of the brains in hope's of being crowned the team with the biggest brains." I say.

We're were gonna have prizes, but since we're doing the city tour in a few days, we decided not to since I already spent a lot of money on that.

"Our first team tonight is our returning champions Jaelin and Talia who form Team Queens." Sahara says.

Once Team Queens is introduced, Jaelin and Talia walk in front of the main camera, wave, then they stand behind their podium that's facing us.

"From San Diego, Alex Morgan and Abby Dahlkemper form our next team, Team Surfer Babes." I say

Once Team Surfer Babes is introduced, Alex and Abby walk in front of the main camera, wave, then they stand behind their podium that's facing us.

"Next up we have Team Melanin Magic, who's members are Crystal Dunn and Emma Harris." Sahara says.

Once Team Melanin Magic is introduced, Crystal and Emma walk in front of the main camera, wave, then they stand behind their podium that's facing us.

"Now we have everyones favorite Stanford duo." I say. "Alana Cook and Tierna Davidson."

Once Team Trees is introduced, Alana and Tierna walk in front of the main camera, wave, then they stand behind their podium that's facing us.

"Up next we have the Bronco Babes, Sofia Huerta and Julie Ertz." Shara says.

Once Team Bronco Babes is introduced, Sofia and Julie walk in front of the main camera, wave, then they stand behind their podium that's facing us.

"Our penultimate team is named after a Pokémon." I say. "Please welcome Kristie and Sam, aka Team Mewtwo."

Once Team Mewtwo is introduced, Kristie and Sam walk in front of the main camera, wave, then they stand behind their podium that's facing us.

"And finally we have Team future sisters-in-law." I say. "Tobin Heath and Christen Press."

Wait.

"Is that public?" I ask.

"It is." Tobin says with a smile as she and Christen get into place.

"Sweet." I say then I notice what everyone is wearing. "Did you all plan this?"

All of the contestants are wearing different Solace World Cup jerseys.

I knew Sahara and I were wearing different Solace Jerseys, but I didn't know the contestants would be too.

"Yep." Talia says making me smile as I look at what jerseys everyone is wearing.
