Chapter 6

The next day, Aurora then goes shopping with Maire, buying her soccer gear (soccer cleats, shin guards, goalkeeper gear, duffle bag, a backpack, a luggage, soccer socks, shirts, jacket, sweater, soccer gloves, a squeeze bottle, mouth guards, clothes, other shoes, soccer shorts, hair bands, etc... and a soccer ball). After returning home from the store, both Aurora and Maire were in the living room checking to see if they got everything on their list.

Maire and her mother then opened a black luggage that they got, took off the tag and started to put in all of the clothes that Maire was going to use and wear. When they were done, they then closed the luggage. Maire then grabbed a black JP backpack with turquoise lining, and put some of her stuff like her (computer, power phone bank, an extra charger for both her phone and her computer, a notebook, a few pencils, different color of pens, a folder, and her medical supplies).  

"I think we got everything." said Maire, as she looks around the things that they got from the sporting goods store.

"Yeah. Also, don't forget your medication." said Aurora, as she looks at Maire.

"That was the first thing that I put in my backpack." said Maire, as she chuckles and looks at her mother.

"Then I guess you're set." said Aurora

KNOCK KNOCK

There was a knock on the door...

"I wonder who that could be." said Aurora, as she gets up from the sofa and walks to the front door.

Aurora When Aurora opened the door, the soccer associate was standing in the doorway.

"Hello." said The soccer associate, as he waved at both Aurora and Maire with a smile.

"Please, come in." said Aurora, as she opens the door wide enough for the soccer associate to enter and closes it behind him.

"I am not going to be here much longer." said the soccer associate, as he entered the house. "I am just here to inform Maire, that I have her bus tickets, so that you can leave. You will be leaving in two days, so that you can be prepared to head to the team's camp, where they will be conditioning and practicing until their games start. My assistant will be picking you up from your house, first thing in the morning, and taking you to the bus stop, where you are going to get picked up by the camp's manager and be taken to the camp."

The soccer associate then gives Maire her bus tickets and sees that Maire's luggage and backpack are all set, he later looks at the empty duffle bag and at the soccer gear that was on the rug.

"Well, it looks like you got everything, from the checklist." said the soccer associate, as he looks around and sees the soccer ball. "Yeah, about that soccer ball."

"I am going to take it with me." said Maire, as she looked at the soccer associate.

"Yeah, about that." said the soccer associate, as he looks at Maire. "The USWNT, have enough soccer balls, so that their players can use them. You don't have to bring your own, if you don't want to."

"Oh well, I decided to buy my own, so that I can use it while the players and I aren't using the other ones." said Maire, as she looks at the soccer ball. "I also got it so that I can do some tricks on it, while the others aren't available."

"Well, okay then." said the soccer associate, as he nods. "You can take it with you. Just don't try to lose it."

"Don't worry, the ball was on sale, for a very cheap price." said Aurora, as she looked at the soccer associate.

"It's true." said Maire

"Alright then," said the soccer associate, as he turned to the door.

Aurora then opens the door for the soccer associate.

"Again congratulations! And I'll see you soon!" said the soccer associate, cheerfully as he walks out the door and looks at Maire. "You made a very, great decision on joining! See you on the field!" 

The soccer associate leaves while waving goodbye at them.

"Bye!" said both Aurora and Maire, as they waved at him back.

After closing the door behind the soccer associate, Aurora then looks at Maire.

"I am so proud of you." said Aurora, as she hugs Maire.
