"Come on. Please. For me?" You ask the two people on a video call with you

Your best friends, Selena and Taylor, and you are having a virtual hangout, seeing as you all live in different places.

"What's in it for us?" Selena asks, taking a sip of her wine.

"Absolutely nothing, but you get to go to England."

"And what are we gonna do? Sit and watch you ogle your girlfriend for like two hours."

"Exactly."

"Stop teasing me. You can't hardly blame me though, my girlfriend is hot. And y'all are just bitter that you're single."

"Hey! I'm not anymore."

"Shocker!" You say sarcastically. "You've been going to your boyfriend's games so much and brought us with you, now it's my turn."

"Sel, you need to get yourself an athlete."

"I know." She whines, extending the 'o'. "You guys need to set me up with someone.

"You might catch the eyes of some footballers if you come here."

"We're gonna be in so many news headlines."

"Just gotta make sure we don't look stupid in them."

The Arsenal Women's team are all on the pitch, warming up for their match. All of a sudden, the crowd throughout the stadium starts cheering, confusing all the players and staff on the pitch.

Looking all around, the crowd is watching the big screen. There you are, with your two best friends, all completely oblivious to what's happening. The three of you were too preoccupied doing the marshmallow game to notice all the eyes on you. Well, to be fair, you all grew up with eyes always on you that you all learned to block it out.

"Stop fucking it up Taylor. You're like the whole music industry, where's the rhythm?"

"Fuck you! I don't have to listen to you. You're not my Mom."

"Okay! Let's just try it again okay?"

"I'll start. One marshmallow."

"Check it out."

"Woo."

Down on the field, Katie watches the big screen, not being able to stop the huge grin of amusement on her face.

"Dude! There's no way that's actually Y/N Y/LN, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift."

"I mean, if you open your eyes you would see that it actually is." Caitlin shoves Katie away because of her sarcastic response.

Nothing really happens for the first half, but as soon as the second half starts, Arsenal in playing like they've got some fresh pairs of legs on them.

"Now I understand why people watch sports." Taylor says loudly.

"Dates an athlete and is now obsessed with sports."

"Oh, shut up."

"But seriously. I've never watched a sport on my life until I met Katie. And it's a plus she looks hot doing it."

We've got McCabe, Katie McCabe
I just don't think you understand
she plays out on the wing, she hits it with a zing
we've got Katie McCabe

You started chanting with all the fans, encouraging your friends to join in.

"C'mon guys! Just like I taught you!"

Arsenal eventually won from a banger from McCabe, who was now getting interviewed.

"Katie, good game today. You scored the game winning shot, how'd that feel?"

"Oh, em, I was just doing what I usually do. But I've actually got my girlfriend here, so I had to put on a bit of a show for her."

"Oh! Wow! Well, thank you for your time Katie." The reporter says a bit shocked at the news.

Katie walks into the locker room, everyone is just sat at their cubby, cooking down from the match, when a knock is heard from the door.

"You girls decent?" Jonas' voice comes through the door.

"Yeah!"

"Alright, well, we've got some guests that would love to meet you all."

You, Taylor and Selena walk through the door being met by the whole team. The team fan girls for a bit, the team's social media videographer catching it all on camera.

After greeting everyone, you walk over to where Katie is still sat in her cubby and place yourself on her lap, her arms immediately wrapping around your waist.

Her teammates are too preoccupied with Selena and Taylor to notice the two of you, but both your friends know you like to wander off, instantly noticing you weren't next to them anymore.

Looking around, she sees you with your girlfriend whispering in her ear that has her biting her lip.

"Oh my god! Stop flirting in front of other people please!" Taylor speaks out, grabbing the attention of everyone in the room.

"You're just mad cause your man who's not your man is off playing fake football and not with you."

"Oh, she got you there." Selena laughs at Taylor's offended face, giving you a high five.

"We're no longer friends." Taylor pouts, crossing her arms across her chest.

"You'll get over it cause you love me." You wrap her in a hug, Selena joining in. "Okay, enough of that. Can we all take a group picture?" You ask the Gunners. "I've gotta cook dinner."

After the photo, the three of you bid farewell to the team, you giving Katie a quick kiss and a 'see you later.'

"Actually, can I go with you? I'll just shower at home." Katie asks, packing her things.

"C'mon. Bye guys!" You wave at everyone.

"See you soon!" Katie leaves after you.

The team was silent for a bit after the four of you left, not knowing how to process that their Irish teammate has a girlfriend and who her girlfriend is.

"That was unexpected."

"Indeed."

"How'd Katie get a girl like her?" Beth asks, not quite understanding.

"It's probably the luck the Irish have."

"And Y/N is her pot of gold."

"Damn."
