Tonight's our Challenge Cup Round of 16 Game against Portland.

We'll play the winner of FC Barcelona v Real Miami in the Quarter-Finals after we win.

After I look at the line-up, I pass it behind me then I stroke my doggies while we ride to the stadium.

Once at Banc of California Stadium, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.

When we get to the locker room, everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.

Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.

After we've inspected the pitch, my teammates and I head back to the locker room.

When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet and my rings, put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe and AirPods in my bag.

Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my short sleeve yellow undershirt, my warm up top, and I put on my game shorts.

I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red and gold boots.

After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my grayish blue keeper glove before I head onto the field with the other keepers.

When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the keepers for a while then head back to the locker room.

Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my yellow keeper jersey while Amaka does her last minute talks.

When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I grab my towel and water bottle then Appa, Socks, and I do as told.

Once in the tunnel, I line-up right behind Jordan then I wait for us to be called out.

Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Jordan out onto the field.

Once on the field we stand in line for a few seconds then we shake hands with the Portland players.

After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Jordan does the coin toss, then I lead Appa and Socks to the bench.

"Stay here pups." I say

Appa and Socks yip and smile at me so I scratch their heads then I jog to my position on the field.

Once I'm at my goal, I hang my towel up on the net, put my water in the net then Lotte and Tierna come over and fist bump me before they head to their spots.

"LET'S GO THORNS." Some lady behind me shouts.

"Fuck off." I mumble as the game begins. "You're clubs shit."

- - - - -

"Thank you." I say as the waitress sets my food down in front of me.

"Welcome." The waitress says then she leaves my sisters, Skye, the three pups, and I alone to eat and talk.

"I love wings." Aurora says as she looks at her wings.

We beat the Thorns 5-0 thanks to a hat trick from Talia, a goal from Jessie, and a goal from Marie-Antoinette.

Aurora, Sahara, Skye, and I are now eating at one of Cairo's sports bars here in LA for dinner so we can talk about who's going to do what now that my sisters are my assistants.

Sam, Tobin, Christen, Tierna, and Mikaela are eating somewhere else then we're gonna meet at a new dessert bar to get some desserts to eat before we head down to a secluded beach that Christen know so we can relax in private.

"I think most people do." Skye says as I eat one of my honey garlic wings.

I got 10 honey garlic wings, 10 lemon pepper wings, an order of garlic parm fries, and a root beer.

I'm driving so I'm not drinking alcohol.

"Mhmm." I say. "So what's everyone thinking about how we split up the assistant responsibilities?"

"Well you have 8 businesses so maybe split them up into what we're good at." Skye says.

I own my tattoo shop, a fashion company, a snowboard and snowboard apparel company, two alcohol companies, an online magazine company, a beauty company, and I own a lot of Airbnb's around America.

All of the stuff I own, I started before I sold TikTok so I built everything from the ground up by myself.

"I thought so too." I say. "And I may have an Idea for who assist on which one.

"Okay." Skye says.

"Skye I thought since you've work in the Tattoo shop every day since March, you could assist on that and do your agent stuff while also working on your skiing stuff." I say

"I can do that." Skye says.

"Sahara since you've worked for re-inc and you have locs I thought you could assist on my fashion company, my snowboard and snowboard apparel company, and my beauty company."

"I can handle that." My twin says.

"And Aurora I thought you could use your knowledge from your degrees to assist on my two alcohol companies and my online magazine companies." I say.

"I can definitely do that." My youngest sister says.

"And I don't know how, but I thought you all could split up who assists on which Airbnb." I say.

"I think we can come up with a system." My twin says.

"Cool." I say then we all eat a wing.

After I eat one of my wings, I drink some of my root beer as I notice the Portland MLS team also lost.

"Well that's something you love to see." Aurora says. "Both Portland teams getting their asses kicked."

The Portland MLS team lost 4-0 to the LA Galaxy.

"I can't believe that prick still has his teams." Skye says.

"Same." My sisters and I say.

"Oh." I say then I look at my sisters. "I actually have something I need one of you two to do."

"What's up?" Sahara says then I pull out my phone and show my sisters what I need them to do.

I bought 50 tickets to every match of the 4 Quarter-Finals, every match of both Semi-Finals, and the Final of the Challenge Cup and the Consolation Bracket and I want to give them away to the fans.

"We can do that." Sahara says. "We can definitely do that."
