"Here you go Zura." Abby says as she passes me the line-up for tonight's game against Australia.
"Thanks." I say then I take the line-up and look at it with my soulmate.

After Adelaide and I look at the line-up, we pass it behind us then I cuddle with my soulmate.
Once at Children's Mercy Park, 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, I grab my rugby ball from my bag then my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.
When I get on the pitch, Abby and I head to the closest end of the pitch then we walk up the pitch while passing a rugby ball back and forth as we talk about random shit.
After we make it to the farthest end of the pitch, Abby and I head back to the locker room with our teammates.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, then I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, and my rings.
After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, 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 warm up top and my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my green boots.
Once I'm dressed Adelaide comes over and sits in-between my legs.
"Hi Beautiful." I say.
"Hi Zu Zu." Adelaide says as she hugs my leg then she sits up straight as I begin running my fingers through her long luscious hair.
After a minute of playing with my soulmate's hair, I pull it back into the normal ponytail she wears for games and trainings.
Once Adelaide's hair is in a ponytail, I tilt her head back then I lean down and kiss my soulmate.
"I love you." I say.
"I love you." Adelaide says then I kiss my soulmate again.
After we kiss, Adelaide and I get up, walk out of the locker room, and head onto the field with the outfield players.
When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the starters for a while then we head back to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my white jersey while Cairo does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I kiss my soulmate and hug her before I head out to the tunnel
Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Emma and Jucinara 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 Emma and Jucinara out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for the Australian anthem then myself, all of the ladies in the starting XI, and most of the ladies on the bench kneel for our anthem.
When our anthem finishes, we stand up then we shake hands with the Australian players.
After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Talia does the coin toss, then we do our team huddle before we head onto the field.
"Are you ready for tonight Zu Zu?" Adelaide asks as we walk onto the field.
"That I am my love." I say as I feel Australian eyes burn into the side of my head. "That I am."

"See ya." I say then I walk away from Ellie Carpenter after switching jerseys with her.
We won 4-1 thanks to goals from Talia, Adelaide, Christen, and Catarina.
The goal we gave up came off a set piece when Emma was fouled and the shitty ref didn't call a foul.
"She hates you so much." Emma says as I approach my teammates.
"Who?" I question.
"Who do you think poohead?" Jucinara says.
"Uh Sam Kerr?" I question.
"And we have a winner." Emma says.
"Why do you think she hates me?" I question then everyone looks at Adelaide.
"She can be oblivious at times." Adelaide says.
"Hey." I say then I pout. "See if you get cuddles."
"Aww." Christen teases.
"Meanies." I mumble then everyone chuckles.
"Do you know what you did to Sam to make her not like you?" Emma asks as Adelaide takes my locs out of the ponytail they're in.
"Ugh.....No?" I say as my girlfriend takes her hair out of it's ponytail.
"Do you not remember the 2021 Champions League Final?" Abby asks. "You know when we played Chelsea."
"Oh yeah." I say.
"What happened?" Talia asks.
"My job in the final was to mark Kerr and I did my job exceptionally well and Kerr ended up being benched at half-time." I say.
"Well she must hate you a lot since she got sent off." Emma says.
Sam Kerr fouled me so much that she got 2 yellows which resulted in her getting a red and being sent off.
"Not my fault she's predictable." I say as I shrug then we do our post match team huddle.
After our huddle, myself, Emma, Adelaide, and Talia walk around the stadium to sign stuff and take pictures.
Once we finish signing stuff and taking pictures, I jump on my twins back.
"Oof." Talia says.
"Oops." I say then I take my twins hair out of the ponytail it's in.
"You're lucky we're twins." Talia says as she carries me to the locker room.
"Yep." I say then I hold on for the ride.
"Aww." Adelaide says as I see one of the team photographers taking a picture.
When we get to the locker room, my twin dumps me in Emma's laps.
"Well hello." Emma says.
"Hey." I say with a smile. "How ya doin?"
"Oh you know." Emma says with a soft smile. "Chillin with my favorite CDM in my lap."
"That's cool." I say. "I should move to my locker right?"
"Probably." Emma says then I scoot over to my locker.
Once I'm in my locker, I see our teammates looking at me and Emma.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing." Christen says. "You two are just so cute."
Emma and I look at each other then we both blush and look at our laps as we wait for the showers to open up.
After 20 minutes all the non-dick having ladies have finished showering so Christen, Tobin, and Talia approach Emma and I.
"Come on you two." Tobin says. "Let's go shower."
