"Rise and shine champs!" Abby yelled, banging on every room door.

"Whaaat" Tobin groaned.

"Do what Abby says and get up" Alex said, rolling Tobin off the bed, and she landed with a thump.

"Fine. Only because I love you" Tobin groaned from the floor.

Alex smiled to herself.

Tobin got up and changed, then Alex did the same.

Walking outside, Alex looked around for her teammates, who were also walking out of their rooms.

"Lauren what are we even supposed to do now" Alex yawned.

"I've got no buggin' idea" Lauren said, aggravated that they were woken up at five am.

The team decided to go to the lobby.

"Its about time ladies" Jill said.

"I need an explanation as to why we're being woken up at five in the morning on our off day!" Ashlyn yelled, and the team knew, of all people who needed sleep, it was her.

"You'll get your sleep back Ashlyn, don't worry. As to your explanation, it will come soon enough" Jill smiled weakly, a little afraid of Ash.

"I need an explanation! I am exhausted!" Ash yelled, and she yawned.

"Okay, the explanation is this: The team is going year round soccer, and the team bought a building in New York, where you all will now stay" Jill said.

"Wait what?" Morgan asked.

"Is there a problem, Miss Brian?" Jill asked, in a silent but threatening voice.

"No" Morgan mumbled.

"Good" Jill smiled nicely, but they all knew it was fake. She cleared her throat. "Now, pack your things, and lets get out of this place, shall we?"

Everyone returned to their rooms to pack up.

"Well, that was eventful" Tobin said.

"Very" Alex agreed.

"I don't know about this move. But, as Jill is our coach, I trust her decision making, and I'll move along calmly" Tobin said.

Alex nodded, although she still didn't like it.

Back at the lobby, everyone piled into a bus and got to the new building in New York.

"Now, ladies, we will be giving you choices, and plenty of them, so choose wisely" Jill said.

"Choices?" Ali asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, choices" Jill opened up her notebook. "You will get the choice of who you room with, and where"

"You're giving us too many choices" Pinoe said dully.

"Would you like me to take those decisions away, Meghan?" Jill asked.

"Boy, what's wrong with Jill? She keeps showing us this side of her we never knew existed" Alex whispered under her breath to Tobin. Tobin nodded.

"No thank you, Coach Ellis. I like to have the few freedoms I can get" Meghan tested, and everyone winced.

Jill didn't take the bait, Meghan smirked.

"Now go, before I take those liberties away" Jill said, and everyone froze. She didn't tell them where to go. Jill smiled. "I'm sorry, I didn't explain things did I?" Jill asked.

Everyone shook their head no.

"Well, I'm letting you choose your rooms and roommates. Just report them to the front desk so they can be recorded" Jill said, then her face went hard. "Now go"
