It was a early summer morning and Erik and you were having a barbecue party at the house you shared for already half a year. Erik and you were dating for about one year and a half and you really loved each other, and you weren't afraid to show it. 

Soon enough, the guests started knocking on the door, first Mats and Cathy, then Marco and Piszczek, after them Ginter and Bender with their beloved girlfriends. A little bit later came Sahin, Auba and Subotic with his wife. 

You really liked the girls, they were all so nice to you and supportive about yours and Erik's relationship. You were afraid they wouldn't accept you but you became friends almost instantly with all of them. You also went shopping together and you would always go support your men at their games. Although you loved being with the girls, Marco Reus was your best friend from the team. You two became close after the prank you pulled on the team, and after that he realized he would need a fellow prankster to help him with his plans so he began liking you (as a friend, of course). The rest of the boys were great, too. They would often tease you and Erik whenever they would see you together because they knew both of you blushed quite a lot. They all accepted you and you were their favorite girl friend. 

The boys were drinking beer or coke and talking about sports, teams and politics while they were barbecuing while you girls were in the kitchen discussing fashion, food and your wonderful husbands/ boyfriends. You were preparing plastic dishes to put food on and making salads to eat with the meat. Then suddenly, somebody knocked on the door. 

Who could it be? , you thought, probably more of the boys. 

When you opened the door, the faces of the two Romans, Burki and Weidenfeller were revealed. 

-Oh hello! Welcome! - you greeted them with a huge smile. 

-We brought some wine. - Burki raised a bottle of fine red wine. 

-Thank you. - you hugged them both, since you were very pleased to see them. - The boys are in the back garden. 

-Okay, thanks.

After the pleasant meal, the boys decided to play football for a bit. In Erik's team there were Burki, Reus and Subotic with Auba and Mats. Bender's team was consisted of Sahin, Piszczek, Weid and Ginter. They were obviously losing to Erik's team. So you decided to jump in. 

-Boys, need a backup?

Sahin just snorted. - Yeah, and who would the backup be?

-Well, me of course. 

The boys laughed loudly at your proposal. 

-Thanks but we got this. 

-Are you sure? You're losing 3:1. They're practically slaying. 

-You know it, babe. - Erik winked. 

-Is it because I'm a girl? You know, that's unfair. There are lots of talented girl footballers. 

-Whatever. Let's see what you've got. - Weid said. - We're losing anyway. 

You put on your sneakers and took your position. As the ball flew towards you, you quickly started running towards the opposite goal, avoiding both Erik and Subotic. You kicked the ball hard and it hit the opposite team's net. Everybody from your team were jumping and hugging you, while you wore a proud smirk on your face. 

Well this is going to be easy. 

Once more, you took the ball from Mats and kicked the ball which ended right in the center of the net. You were now leading 4:3, which made Erik's team unhappy. All of the eyes were on you while you celebrated your last goal. 

-Durm, you taught her well. I'm proud of you. - Reus patted his teammate's back. 

-I'm proud of her. She's my football pro. 

After the celebration, the opposite team decided to avenge on you and carried you to the pool and threw you inside. You were soaking wet, but you didn't mind it. Your team won and you shocked everybody with your hidden talent. Later on, all of you took a swim in the pool and watched the stars from your backyard.
