Katana's POV
"Here Kit-Kat." Jessie says as she hands me our line-up for tonight's Champions League first leg match against PSG.
"Thanks." I say then I look at the line-up.
1-Katana Solo
2-Ashley Lawerence
6-Leah Martin(C)
12-Tierna Davidson
15-Katie McCabe
17-Jessie Harris
8-Jordan Nobbs
7-Jackie Groenen
14-Talia Martin
9-Marie-Antoinette Katoto
11-Lieke MartensAfter I look at the line-up, I pass it to Talia then I relax with my puppies and love on them as we approach the PSG men's stadium.
Once at Parc des Princes, 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, watch, 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 pink 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 boots.
After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my red keeper gloves 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 pink 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 Leah 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 Leah out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for a few seconds then we shake hands with the PSG players.
After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Leah does the coin toss, we do our team huddle, 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 Leah and Tierna come over and fist bump me before they head to their spots.
"Alright people." I mumble. "Let's get this shit over with."
- - - - -
"Whew." I say when the ref blows for full time. "Another Clean sheet."
We won 2-0 which means I still haven't let a goal in for club or country.
We won thanks to goals from Marie-Antoinette and Talia.
The defenders around me chuckle then they high five me.
After I high five the defenders, I take off my gloves, put them in my waist band, then I grab my water bottle and towel from the goal before I head up field to shake hands with the PSG ladies and high five and or hug my teammates.
While I'm shaking hands with the PSG ladies I swap shirts with Sandy Baltimore.
After I shake hands with everyone, I am greet by my doggies.
"Hi boys." I say as I sit on the ground.
My pups sit on either side of me then they lick my face.
"Thanks boys." I say then I wipe the dog slobber off my face.
"Aww." Talia teases as she approaches. "How cute."
"You shush." I say then I squirt Talia with my water bottle.
"I will wrestle you." Talia says as she sits down next to me.
"I could take you." I say as I hand my water bottle to my friend.
"Well we'll have to test your theory out after the season ends." Talia says then she drinks some water.
"Deal." I say as the rest of our teammates come over.
"So Katana." Katie says as everyone sits down around Talia and I. "How's the reception to your concerts been?"
Last weekend was my concert in London and all of the players from the different London WSL teams came as well as some ladies from other club teams around Europe.
"Great." I say. "Everyone seemed to enjoy it and the New York Concerts doing great on Youtube."
The New York concert was edited in the week after the concert and I posted it yesterday, the day after the London concert, so that only the people who went to the NYC concert would know what happened at my concerts.
"It's already on 3 million views." I say.
"I liked your concert." Jordan says.
"I'm glad you did." I say.
"Are you releasing anymore music this year?" Steph Catley asks.
"Yeah." I say. "I have so many songs in my song book so I'm putting out a new single each week for a year."
"Damn." Everyone says.
"It's clear ladies." Someone says.
"What's clear?" I ask.
"The tunnel." One of the Arsenal media people say.
"Oh I didn't know we were waiting." I say as my teammates and I stand up. "The grass is cold and feels nice to sit on."
My teammates chuckle then we head to the locker room.
Once in the locker room, Tobin, Talia, and I shower first since we are all intersex.
After us intersex ladies shower, we dry off and change into our street clothes then we wait in our lockers for everyone else to finish.
As I'm waiting I feel my phone vibrate so I pick it up and see I have a text from my girlfriend.
Mikki❤️: Don't tell your manager
Mikki❤️: But I may be having Pizza delivered to our hotel room.
Me: Does the Pizza come with a side of you?
Mikki❤️: Hurry back to the room and find out Daddy.
Me: Not fair Mikki.
Me: So not fair
