After a long day of training, the sun begins to set over the AEW training facility. The parking lot is mostly empty, casting long shadows as Y/N, Toni Storm, and Mariah May make their way towards their cars. The trio stops by their vehicles, still buzzing with excitement and adrenaline.

Toni Storm:(leaning against her car) What a day, huh? I’m exhausted, but it feels so good to see us clicking like that

Toni Storm:(leaning against her car) What a day, huh? I’m exhausted, but it feels so good to see us clicking like that.

Mariah May: (stretching) Definitely. We’ve made a lot of progress, and I think our strategy session really helped us focus.

Y/N:(smiling) Yeah, today was great. We’re definitely on the right track. But I’ve been thinking... we should make this official. Not just in the ring, but as a team in every way.

Toni Storm: (raising an eyebrow) What do you have in mind, Y/N?

Mariah May: Yeah, what are you thinking?

Y/N: (leaning against his car) I’m thinking we make a pact. A promise to each other that we’re in this for the long haul, no matter what. We’ve got each other’s backs inside and outside the ring.

Toni Storm:(smiling) I like that. A pact to solidify our bond and commitment.

Mariah May:(nodding) Count me in. We’re more than just a team; we’re a family.

Y/N:(reaching into his pocket and pulling out three small, leather bracelets) I had these made earlier today

Y/N:(reaching into his pocket and pulling out three small, leather bracelets) I had these made earlier today. I wanted something tangible to remind us of our promise to each other.

He hands a bracelet to Toni and Mariah. Each bracelet has a small metal tag with their initials engraved on it.

Toni Storm:(taking the bracelet and examining it) Y/N, this is awesome. Thank you.

Mariah May:(smiling as she puts on her bracelet) This is perfect. I love it.

Y/N:(putting on his bracelet) So, what do you say? Are we in this together?

Toni Storm:(holding out her hand) Absolutely. To our success, and to sticking together through thick and thin.

Mariah May:(placing her hand on top of Toni’s) To making history and dominating AEW.

Y/N:(placing his hand on top) To being more than just teammates – to being family.

They share a moment of silence, feeling the weight of their commitment to each other. The bond between them is now stronger than ever, solidified by their shared promise and their new bracelets.

Toni Storm:(smiling) Alright, team. Let’s get some rest and come back even stronger tomorrow.

Mariah May:(grinning) And let’s make sure we’re ready for whatever AEW throws at us.

Y/N:(nodding) We’ve got this. Together, we’re unstoppable.

As they part ways, the sense of unity and determination is palpable. They each get into their cars, ready to head home and rest, knowing that tomorrow is a new day filled with new challenges and opportunities. After leaving the parking lot, Y/N, Toni Storm, and Mariah May drive separately to their hotel. The hotel is a towering structure, a temporary home for many AEW stars during their busy schedules. As the trio arrives, they gather in the lobby, their excitement from the day still evident.

Y/N:(checking his watch) Looks like we made it here around the same time. Perfect timing.

Toni Storm:(grinning) Yeah, and I'm starving. How about we grab a bite to eat first and then head up to one of our rooms to strategize some more?

Mariah May:(nodding) Sounds good to me. There’s a nice lounge area in the hotel restaurant. We can eat and talk there.

They make their way to the hotel restaurant, finding a quiet corner to sit. The ambiance is relaxed, with soft lighting and comfortable seating. They order their meals and begin to talk.

Toni Storm:(sipping her drink) So, what’s our next move? We made a great start today, but we need to keep the momentum going.

Y/N:(leaning forward) I think we should focus on studying our potential opponents. We need to be prepared for whoever we face first. We can start by watching some footage tonight.

Mariah May:(nodding) Agreed. We need to know their strengths and weaknesses. We can start with some of the top teams in AEW. See what makes them tick.

Toni Storm:(smiling) Sounds like a plan. And we should also think about our entrance. First impressions matter, and we want to make a big one.

Y/N:(grinning) Totally. We need something that’ll get the crowd hyped up from the moment we step out. A killer entrance can set the tone for the whole match.

Mariah May:And don’t forget about our in-ring chemistry. We need to keep practicing our moves and sequences until they’re second nature.

Their food arrives, and they continue to discuss their plans while eating. The conversation flows easily, filled with ideas and laughter, their bond growing stronger with each passing moment.

Toni Storm:(finishing her meal) This has been great. I feel more focused and motivated than ever. Ready to head up to the room and watch some footage?

Mariah May:(smiling) Let’s do it. We’ll need all the preparation we can get.

Y/N:(standing up) I’ve got my laptop with me. Let’s head up to my room. I’ve already downloaded some matches we can analyze.

They pay the bill and make their way to Y/N’s room. Once inside, they settle down on the couch and chairs, ready to dive into their research.

Toni Storm:(opening her notebook) Alright, let’s start with the top teams. What do we have first, Y/N?

Y/N:(setting up the laptop) I’ve got matches from The Young Bucks, FTR, and The Lucha Brothers. We’ll start with The Young Bucks. They’ve got a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

Mariah May:(getting comfortable) Perfect. Let’s see what makes them tick and how we can counter their moves.

They begin watching the footage, taking notes and discussing strategies as they go. The room is filled with the sounds of wrestling matches and their focused conversations.

Toni Storm: (pausing the video) See that? They rely heavily on high-flying moves and quick tags. We need to find a way to ground them and slow their pace.

Y/N:(nodding) Exactly. If we can keep them on the mat and control the tempo, we’ll have the advantage.

Mariah May: And we need to anticipate their double-team maneuvers. If we can counter those, we’ll throw them off their game.

They continue analyzing the matches late into the night, their dedication unwavering. Finally, they decide to call it a night, knowing they need rest to be at their best.

Toni Storm: (stretching) That was a productive session. I think we’ve got a solid plan forming.

Mariah May:(smiling) Agreed. We’re going to be ready for anything. Thanks for this, guys. It’s really coming together.

Y/N: (grinning) Anytime. We’re in this together, remember? Now, let’s get some sleep and hit it hard again tomorrow.

They say their goodnights and head to their respective rooms, each feeling a sense of purpose and unity. As they drift off to sleep, their minds are filled with visions of their future success and the steps they’ll take to get there.
