EPISODE ONE: MEET THE TRAINEES

»»————-　♡　————-««

??? [ NATIONAL REP. ] : viewers around the world, are you ready to meet the 30 trainees?

ARIELLE SITS IN FRONT OF A CAMERA IN A BACKSTAGE ROOM, WAVING EXCITEDLY, YET WITH AN UNDENIABLE ELEGANCE.

ARIELLE [ NATIONAL REP. ] : i'm arielle, and i will be your national representative! 

ARIELLE [ NATIONAL REP. ] : it's quite nerve-wracking to need to both host the show and give feedback to the trainees, honestly. but i'm confident i'll be able to do my job quite nicely... 

THE NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVE SMILES AWKWARDLY. HER NERVES ARE... OBVIOUS.

ARIELLE [ NATIONAL REP. ] : never mind that... it seems it's almost time for all the trainees to start coming in one by one! oh i'm so excited to meet them-

AS SHE SAYS THIS, A CREAKING NOISE IS HEARD AS ARIELLE TURNS HER HEAD QUICKLY TO THE MONITOR IN FRONT OF HER. IT SEEMS THE FIRST GROUP OF TRAINEES HAS ARRIVED.

#0?? ; ??? [ ??? ] : OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS IT-

** [ JIA'S NOTE ] : there will be no "ranking seats"! the photo is simply there for a visual reference. they all just pick chairs, and sit down normally.

A LOGO FLASHES ON THE SCREEN, SHOWING THAT THE FANTAGIO TRAINEES HAD ARRIVED FIRST.

#026 ; SHIM JIA [ FANTAGIO ] : (waves her hands around) im so excited- oh my god, girls, we're the first to come in? this is crazy-

THE CAMERA PANS TO ANOTHER TRAINEE ROLLING HER EYES BUT WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE.

#025 ; SONG JURYEONG [ FANTAGIO ] : calm down, our dear jia, we are literally the first company. we have a long day ahead of us, so if you could just sit down-

#017 ; SON MINJI [ FANTAGIO ] : (whispers) it will be a long day indeed...

[ INTERVIEW ROOM ]

#026 ; SHIM JIA [ FANTAGIO ] : can't blame me for being excited! we're the ones to start off the show, after all.

[ STUDIO ]

#025 ; SONG JURYEONG [ FANTAGIO ] : alright. let us pick a seat now, shall we? 

#027 ; MIN YUBIN [ FANTAGIO ] : (grins) alrighty, dear leader... we are so here to win this. aren't we?

THE FANTAGIO TRAINEES SIT DOWN JUST AS THE NEXT COMPANY ARRIVES.

#026 ; SHIM JIA [ FANTAGIO ] : ooo, who's that- 

#025 ; SONG JURYEONG [ FANTAGIO ] : wait a damn second-

#00? ; ??? [ YUEHUA ] : juryeong????

THE YUEHUA TRAINEES ENTER, AND ONE OF THEM SEEMS EXTREMELY SURPRISED TO SEE JURYEONG.

#001 ; EVELYN LIU [ YUEHUA ] : is that really you? i had no idea you would be on this show as well-

{ YUEHUA ENTERTAINMENT: HOME TO UNIQ, EVERGLOW, CHOI YENA & TEMPEST } 

#025 ; SONG JURYEONG [ FANTAGIO ] : neither did i, why didn't you tell me???

#001 ; EVELYN LIU [ YUEHUA ] : didn't we have a confidentiality agreement with the show-

#025 ; SONG JURYEONG [ FANTAGIO ] : HOW DO YOU KNOW THE WORD "CONFIDENTIALITY-" 

#021 ; GIM SUNHI [ YUEHUA ] : oh boy... 

[ INTERVIEW ROOM ]

#021 ; GIM SUNHI [ YUEHUA ] : i'm just hoping i'll react normally when [ REDACTED ] shows up...

#021 ; GIM SUNHI [ YUEHUA ] : as much as i love her, this is pretty scary to think about.

[ STUDIO ]

#029 ; IREIAL IZZIAH [ YUEHUA ] : (tugs on evelyn's sleeve, gently speaking in english with an australian accent) eve, we should go pick some seats, you can catch up later-

THE GLARE IN IREIAL'S EYES IS SCARY ENOUGH TO PROBABLY KILL A MAN. 

#026 ; SHIM JIA [ FANTAGIO ] : (whispers to yubin) fancy, english speakers. and intimidatingly pretty.

SUNHI SLOWLY GUIDES EVELYN UP; THERE'S A NOTICEABLE LIMP IN THE GIRL'S RIGHT LEG.

#027 ; MIN YUBIN [ FANTAGIO ] : hey, i'm sure there will be a lot of foreign trainees on the show that are just as pretty. is that girl okay though? i think she's having problems with her ankle...

A SUDDEN LOUD BANG IS HEARD FROM THE STAIRCASE. 

#029 ; IREIAL IZZIAH [ YUEHUA ] : (screams) ignore me, ignore me, i have mcfallen-

#021 ; GIM SUNHI [ YUEHUA ] : you okay, izzy? nothing hurt? nothing torn?

THE GIRL SIGHS, SHAKING HER HEAD BEFORE CONTINUING ON HER WAY BACK UP.

[ INTERVIEW ROOM ]

[ STAFF MEMBER ] : we noticed you tend to fall a lot on set? you okay?

#029 ; IREIAL IZZIAH [ YUEHUA ] : (pouts) leave me alone... i'm tall... and still growing... and not to mention clumsy by nature...

#029 ; IREIAL IZZIAH [ YUEHUA ] : i didn't ask to scrape my knee all the time just from slipping over random surfaces. let's just hope this doesn't happen during the performance...

[ STUDIO ]

AN EVEN LOUDER BANG, NO, A SMASH, THAN PREVIOUSLY ECHOES OUT FROM THE ENTRANCE OF THE STUDIO. A GIRL FALLS OUT FROM THE DOORWAY FLAT ON THE FLOOR.

#025 ; SONG JURYEONG [ FANTAGIO ] : what in the actual hell-

#0?? ; ??? [ ??? ] : (in chinese) curse you stupid heels stupid outfit stupid hairclips-

#009 ; WANG XINWEN [ FNC ] : oh my god hi everyone looks so pretty- (immediately model poses while fallen on the floor) 

{ FNC ENTERAINMENT: HOME TO AOA, N.FLYING, SF9, CHERRY BULLET & P1HARMONY }

#015 ; LEE DOHWA [ FNC ] : (silent scream) dios mio, were you staring at the girls? again?-

#009 ; WANG XINWEN [ FNC ] : ACT. NORMAL.

#015 ; LEE DOHWA [ FNC ] : can you like not be like this for once?

THE GIRLS QUICKLY WALK TO TAKE THEIR SEATS IN THE FIRST ROW, EMBARRASSED. A LONG SILENCE BREAKS OUT IN THE STUDIO.

#027 ; MIN YUBIN [ FANTAGIO ] : (whispers) girl that is embarrassing-

[ INTERVIEW ROOM ]

#009 ; WANG XINWEN [ FNC ] : honestly, i still don't know why i'm here. i only know that all the other girls are super pretty.

#009 ; WANG XINWEN [ FNC ] : should really just have stuck to modelling back in china while i could. but i'm here now, so uh, yeah.

#009 ; WANG XINWEN [ FNC ] : i'm just gonna use this opportunity to look good and not die, i guess. falling once is enough to ruin my image.

#015 ; LEE DOHWA [ FNC ] : this woman...

#015 ; LEE DOHWA [ FNC ] : i question sometimes how she is still alive.

[ BACKSTAGE ]

ARIELLE [ NATIONAL REP. ] : that certainly looks quite concerning.

ARIELLE [ NATIONAL REP. ] : i wonder if they'll be able to regain some atmosphere later... oh look! another company is entering. 

ARIELLE [ NATIONAL REP. ] : oh, big 3? so soon?

[ STUDIO ]

WHICH COMPANY'S TRAINEE ENTERED AT THIS MOMENT, TO MAKE EVERYONE'S JAWS DROP?

#0?? ; ??? [ ??? ] : everyone can just keep their eyes peeled: i'm in this to win this. 

#0?? ; ??? [ ??? ] : i'm glad my sister is here competing with me. but we're being pitted against each other, now... 

#0?? ; ??? [ ??? ] : when are the performances starting??? please, production just start the actual show!- i swear to god-

[ ACCEPT ] [ DECLINE ]

[ JIA'S NOTE ]

hi guys! this really took me ages to write, but it's here now! sorry it's a little short, by the way. i was struggling a little to get back into writing in this style again? i really hope i was able to write these girls in a comedic way because i've really kind of realized that i've lost the ability to make things entertaining </3 

but hey, i hope you guys enjoyed this first part of episode one! please let me know if you had any suggestions or feedback on this, and i'll be sure to improve in the next part!
