Six months after Thalia made her recovery from what my mother did to her, the team was on Victory Tour after a very successful Women's World Cup in London. I was excited, because this next stop was in Seattle, which was my hometown. We were playing Canadia, which promised to be a tough game. "What do we believe, ladies?" "That the Lord, God, created the universe." Thalia said. Abby rolled her eyes. "What else do we believe?" she asked. "That He sent His only son to die for my sins." Thalia said. "Shut it, Squirt." Abby said. "What else do we believe? And Thalia, if you say 'that ancient Jews built boats and sailed to America', you will sit the game." Tobin fist bumped Thalia. "Well played, sir." she said. "Thanks!" Thalia said, grinning. "Tobin, don't encourage her." Abby said. "What do we believe?" "I believe that we will win!" we all shouted, running onto the field. we ended up winning the game, but Canadia put up a good fight. As we were walking to the bus, I was stopped by a police officer. "Are you Hope Solo?" he asked. "I am." I said. "You'll need to come with me, then." the officer said. "Whoa!" Thalia protested. "Hold up! What did Hope do?" "She has been charged with assault." the officer said.

If you got the reference that Thalia was making with Abby's "what do we believe" questions, comment below what they were referencing and I will give you a shoutout in the next chapter!
