Lavender's POV
"I can't wait for this game to be over." I mumble as I snuggle my girlfriend.
"Why?" Maya questions as she plays with my hair.
"Cause we get to go home." I say as our line-up for tonight's game against Lyon is passed to us.
Tonight is our final game before the winter break and we're playing Lyon in Lyon.
"I can't wait to go home." I mumble as Maya and I look at the line-up.

After Maya and I look at the line-up, I pass it behind us then I relax with Maya and Pongo.
Once at Groupama 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 put up in my locker, I grab my smudging bundle and my lighter then I follow my teammates outside for the pitch inspection.
When I get onto the pitch I stand on the touchline and light my smudging bundle then let the bundle burn for 30 seconds.
After the bundle has burned for 30 seconds I blow it out which causes the bundle to start smoking then I walk around the edge of the pitch while doing my smudging ceremony with Pongo.
As I approach the place I start my ceremony I walk onto the pitch and cleanse my teammates with the bundle then Pongo and I head to our bench area and cleanse it.
After I finish doing my smudging ceremony, I extinguish the smudging bundle in a jar of sand then Pongo and I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I put my sand jar in my locker then I take out my nose ring and I take off my necklaces, my earrings, and my rings.
After my jewelry is off, I put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe, phone, and wallet in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my long, curly, dark brown hair up in a ponytail then I put on my long sleeve blue undershirt, 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 rainbow boots.
When I finish getting dressed, Maya comes over and sits in-between my legs.
Once Maya is sat in-between my legs she hugs one of my legs 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 puts it in for games.
Once Maya's hair is in a ponytail, I lean down and kiss my soulmate's head.
After I kiss her head, Maya 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 blue and garnet striped jersey while Astrid 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 with Pongo.
Once in the tunnel, I line-up in-between Maya and Aitana then I wait for us to be called out.
