Hope: "Good morning Coach." He wasn't even her coach and here she was calling him coach. Ah well. It was probably like when she marries Jay she'll probably end up calling Clint and Natasha Dad and Mom. Wow, that was a weird thought right now. Those were the scariest people she knew, other than Raven, Fury and Ross. She felt the curious question in Coach Laping's mind, so she said, "My father's an old friend of Mr. Stark's. When we returned to the States, soon after Mr. Stark allowed my father and I to come live at the tower. After I fell head over heels for this kid, I, uh, pulled some strings."
Coach: "Morning Hope. Ah okay." Jay: Hope could of just said she slept over, lol. Coach: "So here's the rolldown. We'll arrive at the studio and they'll do hair and make-up. First you'll do an interview inside the studio. After you'll go outside to the little section with all the people with the signs." Jay: "Great thanks." Evelyn: She found Andrea, Mr. Stark, and Dr.Banner. "Are you guys ready? I'm so excited to see the twin and Hope on The Today Show!" OOC: This kid at my school dad is an Olympic broadcaster for NBC so we got to go to a taping of the Today Show! It was really neat. We saw Blake Lively but I had no idea who she was lol. Still don't care for her much. We also saw Meredith and Matt and they talked to us! It was neat. OOC: Oh Steve what are you doing? lol
OOC: Cool. I don't watch it much so you'll have to help. Lol
Bruce and Andrea: "We're ready." Bruce added, "We should travel together."
Hope: "All right, sounds straightforward."
Coach: "Yeah it'll be easy. Just be yourself." He pulled up to the studio. Jay: He had passed this place many times. It was by the 30 rock Ice Skating rink. They went inside and were greeted by a warm friendly staff who was in a frenzy getting everything ready. Evelyn: "Great. And I agree. I can drive if you'd like." OOC: Okay. Don't worry I don't either lol. Here's a interview with the lovely Hakweye.The second one with Celine Dion shows the outside part. I was thinking they could be inducted outside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfzRW4zNiLI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHqZ671bI0U
Fairywings said:Hope: "Right," she murmured, because being herself was oh so easy. She went inside and smiled warmly for the people. They were working much too hard for just her and Jay.
Bruce: "I'll drive."
OOC: Sounds good
Jay: He wrapped his arm around Hope and kissed her cheek. "You'll do great." They got directed to a chair with a stylist.
Stylists: "Welcome! It's so great to meet you. Y'all are so talented and adorable! Just relax and we'll take care of you. There's a buffet table over there tell us if you need anything."
Jay: "Thanks." He grabbed a tea and sat down. Being a guy he didn't need too much. They started with light face makeup. Ew. But he knew it'd make himself look more snazzy.
Evelyn: "Okay thanks Mr. Banner."
Fairywings said:Bruce and Andrea: They headed to the garage.
Hope: She sat very still, still as a statue even, as they got to work with her make up.
Hope's Stylist: "Relax sweetie. Don't be nervous. Just pretend your on the horse course."
Evelyn: She followed and got in their car.
Jay: They finshed up the hair and make-up. Jay couldn't deny it. He looked pretty snazzy. Jay's chair was next to Hope's. "Hey love, don't be so tense. It'll go great." He rubbed her back.
Fairywings said:Hope: "Right, right, just riding Jade. She's my horse. She's gorgeous." She reached over and took Jay's hand. "In a completely different way than the love of my life is, by the way."
Stylist: "That's the spirit!"
Jay: He smiled at Hope and held her hand tight. "Why thank you irresistibly beautiful love of my life."
Fairywings said:Hope: She giggled. "You're welcome."
Jay: He chuckled back.
Stylist: She did Hope's hair and make-up. "All done sweetie!"
OOC: Why there are Texan Country stylists I do not know xD
Jay: That was probably the most make-up he'd ever seen on Hope. She looked wonderful as always. It wasn't better or worse, just different.
Fairywings said:Hope: "Thank you." Wow, that was a lot more make up than she usually wore, but she didn't look bad.
Stylists: "Your welcome!"
Jay: "You look pretty Hope."
Hope: "Thank you."
Evelyn: Mr.Banner drove them to the studio. They were greeted with backstage passes and went in. It seemed Stark knew a lot of people, as he had been interviewed a few times before.
Jay: "Always." The director came over and greeted them warmly. He explained how today would work. Jay had no questions.
Evelyn: She same over to them and gave Jay and Hope a hug. "Congratulations! We can't wait to watch you guys."
Jay: "Thanks Ev!"
Director: "Are the future Olympians ready?"
Jay: "Yes sir!"
Hope: She had no questions. She hugged Evelyn and then her father. "Thank you, all of you. Yes, I'm ready."
Director: "Wonderful. And no thank you. Sit right here. Matt will ask you questions. We're going live in a minute."
Jay: He sat down in the chair, and while going over cracked a big smiled and waved to the crowd outside behind the glass. Jay sat down was decided to hold Hope's hand the whole interview. In front of them was the crew, family, and a teleprompter telling them if they needed to wave or smile etc, what was coming up, or to say important information. They small talked with Matt before it began he was very cool.
Director: "Three... Two.. One.. ACTION!" The shot actually started with a short video clip showing clips of there performance and the huge social media blowup. This whole thing definitely marketed them with a Patriotic vibe as it does with most Olympians. Then it went to the trio of Matt, Hope, and Jay.
Evelyn: She eagerly watched.
Matt: "Hello everyone welcome. Good morning. Here today is Jay Barton and Hope Banner. Pleasure to meet you both."
Jay: He shook Matt's hand. "Good morning! My beautiful girlfriend and I are excited to be here. Thank you. How are you?"
Matt: "Great thank you. So, everyone's been dying to know how you two meet. The odds that our nations probably best young altheltes meet and are dating. You both are adorable by the way."
Jay: "Thanks. Well I wouldn't call us the best.."
Matt: "The stats say it!"
Jay: "I guess so hm. I still can't believe it. This all kinda blows my mind. I've done archery since I was a kid and it's always been a dream to shoot for the world's best country. And now I might get too and do it with my dream girl. I'm one lucky guy and so grateful."
Matt: "How nice. So tell us how you meet."
Jay: "Oh yes sorry. Well her father is a long time friend of Stark. My parents met Stark through SHIELD work. We ran into each other a few times but it was always brief. We both somehow knew deep down the other would be very important later. So this summer we ended up at the same camp. I fell for her hard and fast. Come on though, how could you not! She's gorgeous, the sweetest person you'll ever meet, brilliant, and athletic. Ended asking her out the first night at camp. Best decision I ever made." He leaned over and kissed her. "I love her so much."
Matt: "That's wonderful! You two are so cute. Don't you love young love America? Hope, tell us a little about yourself."
