Luz and Amity got to the field and put their cleats on.

"About time." Boscha said from above them. "4 minutes late, so 40 pushups." She ordered looking down at the two girls. Willow waved from behind Boscha, sticking out her tongue at the three eyed witch.

Amity and Luz tried to hold in their laughter. With a loud sigh, Boscha walked away and began telling the other players what to do.

Amity began her push ups. Going up and down steadily. She glanced at Luz, who could barly get her chest down. Luz's arms shaked as the tried and failed to do her pushups. She had just gotten to 12 when Amity finished. The golden eyed girl grinning as she stood up and waited for Luz.

"How are you not done?" Willow said teasing Luz as she handed Amity a sheet of paper. "Boscha said you need to go help with opening roster for the game tomorrow."

Amity frowned, not wanting to leave Luz. She read over the paper with one hand on her hip, she looked very sassy. After reading the paper she handed it back to Willow.

"Tell Boscha to put Skara on defense not mid." She replied annoyed.

"Tell her yourself." Willow said handing Amity a flower.

Amity sighed then repeated the order into her flower. Her voice even more annoyed, and Amity made sure to treat Boscha like an idiot. After some silence Boscha began talking back to Amity. Resulting in another argument.

"Its so cool how you use flowers like walkie talkies."

"That reference means nothing to me." Willow said as Luz finished her pushups.

Luz stood up and rubbed her arms, sore from her 40 pushups. She then walked up behind Amity and gave her a hug. Amity stopped yelling into her flower, and turned red. She started stuttering into the mic unable to form sentences.

"Stop being gay and get onto the field!" Boscha yelled from the other side.

The squad jogged onto the field and joined their team mates. Skara slapped Luz on the back as she joined them. In an attempt to welcome Luz to the team.

Boscha sat in a 'soccer mom' lawn chair and blew her whistle. Warmed up and ready to go, the players got ready for their one on one battle. Amity vs Cat, Willow vs Emilia and Skara vs Luz. The first to score a goal would win... absolutely nothing because this was a scrim. The only thing you get is confirmation of your greatness.

 Willow and Emilia faced on another. The two witches both exceled at plant magic which would make the match all the more interesting. Boscha blew her whistle and the two began. Going back and forth, plants appearing and disappearing. Emilia and Willow both grabbed the ball. Fighting to assert their dominance and score the point. Willow rammed her head forward and knocked Emilia out with a brutal headbutt before scoring the goal. Achieving victory, Willow pumped her face into the air as Emilia stood up rubbing her head, glad she had health insurance. Before the two girls returned to the bench and drank some water. Willow and Emilia began exchanging ideas and suggestions, while Cat tended to their wounds. The healer replacing thorns from both girls arms with healing glyphs. 

Luz and Skara stepped onto the field. Luz pulled out a glyph as Boscha blew her whistle. The sound rang into the air, but before Luz could begin to move for the ball she froze. Luz's mind began to fall into a trance, her muscles not responding to her commands. She looked in shock at Skara, who had begun humming. Skara winked at her before opening her mouth and belting. The sound pierced Luz and forced her to her knees, the majestic melody made Luz feel woozy. Luz was rendered useless. Skara walked up to the abandoned ball and easily scored the point, all while singing. After the song ended Luz sat blinking and confused. She shook her head, clearing it of the song. Skara popped out behind her and smiled.

"You okay?" She asked as she helped Luz to her feet.

"That was Amazing!" Luz yelled at the other girl.

"And Illegal, I thought I told you to stop doing that!" Boscha said as they walked up to their Coach.

"There's technically no rule against it." Skara said booping Boscha on the nose.

"It's illegal emotionally. You can't abuse your talents against regular people." Boscha replied smacking Skara's hand away.

"Isn't that what you did up until like four days ago?" Amity asked with a grin as she walked towards the field. Cat running after her.

With a huff Boscha wrote something in her notes then blew her whistle.

Amity sent an abomination at Cat, who side stepped the creature and karate chopped it in the neck. However the abomination was a distraction! Amity quickly grabbed the ball and made a bee line for the goal. Cat gritted her teeth, before running to catch up. Amity tripped over her feet but managed to do a barrel roll and stood back up, her legs sliding on the grass. A magic blast flying over her head. Cat tried and failed to grab the ball, falling down in the process. Unfortunately Cat grabbed Amity's leg, pulling the other girl to the ground. Magic flying past Cat's head. The two girls rolling on the grass, fighting for the ball. Cat punched Amity in the face. Then Amity raised her hands into the sky. Creating a large flat disk in attempt to smash it down on Cat's head. Suddenly the disk was bombarded by arrows. No doubt Cat's retaliation. Amity waited for the arrows to stop before sending the barrier crashing down. The barrier melted into the ground, trapping Cat. Forcing her to desperately claw her way out as Amity scored the goal.

"Good job!" Cat said as Amity freed her from her prison. "Let me heal your jaw."

"At least it wasn't broken." Amity said jokingly as she rubbed her face. The two girls began walking to their teammates.

"Well not broken permanently!" Cat said over her shoulder as Amity stood in shock.

The golden eyed girl stood rubbing her jaw concerned over the fact that it had been broken so easily. Amity frowned at the idea, before trying to calm herself by looking into the forest. Amity then turned and jogged to join her teammates.

Boscha began going over her notes, carefully explaining the flaws in each attack while also going over all the good aspects too. The team sat in a circle and began to stretch as Boscha continued to talk about the game against Glandis, the opening roster and the team plan.
