    Freelance journalist Aimee felt a mix of excitement and apprehension as she looked at her green one-piece bathing suit. She was about to step into the wrestling ring, not with a notebook, but as a competitor.

    It was an odd circumstance that had brought her here. Searching for a unique angle in professional wrestling, she had jokingly accepted the challenge to participate in a match.

    The crowd's cheer was deafening as she walked into the ring. Across from her, Cute Cathy, a seasoned pro, gazed back at her, ready for the match.
