,,AND OHH IT'S IN! IT'S 5:1 CHELSEA AND AURIE RADLEY SCORED THEM ALL!"

Pernille had kicked the ball into the box perfectly, all Aurelia had to do was sliding it into the goal. Standing up from the grass, she runs towards Pernille and jumps into her arms, the cheers from the fans making the moment magical.

,,You did it!", the blonde midfielder mutters happily into her ear and spins Aurelia around as just seconds later she feels more people jumping on the two of them, one of them forcing her to let go of the girl, only so they can bring her in a tight hug herself.

,,Girl, you're so unreal!", Sam screams cheerfully, as she wrapps her arms around Aurelia. They break away quickly, both grinning like crazy and before any of them can even run back to their positions the referee blows the final whistle. Aurelia watches her teammates running off, celebrating, feeling the satisfaction of making them proud. She turns around, looking at the crowd once again in awe. Sam was right, this was unreal. The brunette smiles as she sees the people celebrate, kids with their parents, some have their faces painted. She feels proud, knowing she is one of the reasons all those people are happy right now. Suddenly, she feels another hand on her shoulder and smells the familiar scent of her home, mixed with sweat and she knows exactly who the scent belongs to. Smiling, she turns around to the swedish woman.

,,Look at you writing history.", Magdalena says, just loud enough for Aurelia to hear, and pats her head. ,,We're going to the final because of you, Aurie." The brunette just shakes her head, chuckling slightly.

,,I wouldn't have scored any goals without the assists from the team," she grins cheekily. ,,And Arsenal would have scored some more goals if you wouldn't have been there, tackling like your life depends on it." Magdalena laughs at that, asking herself how she only got one yellow card today.

,,Not my life, but the final.", she chuckles as she lays her arm around the younger girl's shoulders. ,,I had to make sure P's mistakes in midfield aren't changing our results."

,,Hey, I heard that!", Pernille yells over the loud cheers, approaching her two favorite people. ,,Always telling lies about me, huh?" The midfielder stands on the other side of Aurelia, and laying her arm around the girls shouldes as well, trying to look hurt but the grin on her lips is betraying her. Two dumbasses, Aurelia thinks. Tho she is more than happy to have them both. After her mother died in a car accident, they gave her the home and the stability she had desperately needed. Helping her with everything, either it was school or calming her down when the fear of car rides got the best of her, they were always there for her and she was thankful for that.

,,What should I say, babe? You know that's my way of expressing my love for you.", Magda smiles and Aurelia swears she saw the defender's eyes turning into the shape of hearts as she looked at her girlfriend.

,,Aww, that was cute baby!", Pernille says with blushed cheeks, taking Magda's hand in her's. ,,I love you too." Magda smiles at that and brings Pernille's hand to her lips, kissing it and not breaking eye contact once.

,,Ew," Aurelia grumbles, feeling the urge to vomit right there. ,,Can you guys like... stop?"

,,Oh shut up," Pernille laughs. ,,Just wait until you fall in love."

Aurelia scoffs. ,,Yeah right. Falling in love."

,,Seriously, Aurie. It's amazing how one day someone walks into your life and you can't remember how you ever lived without them..", Magda states, obviously talking to Aurelia but her eyes were focused on the blonde Dane, who, once again, blushed like crazy.
