"Alright Ladies." I say as I stand in front of my team. "I hope all of you had a nice sleep..."
"Thanks." Kelley cheekily says.
"Dork." Lindsey mumbles.
"So before you all are released for your off day I want to do a little bit of team bonding." I say.
"What are we doing Coach?" Kelley asks.
"You guys are doing a scavenger hunt." I say.
"Is there a prize?" My twin asks.
"Before we get to that, Is the plan for everyone to go out to eat together tonight then we'll go to a lounge?"
"Yeah." Mal says.
"Alright so yes there is a prize."
"And that is?" Emily asks.
"The winning team will have all their drinks at the lounge paid for by me."
"Fuck yeah." Kelley says as I turn on the projector.
"Here are your team's."
"Can we make team names?" Kelley asks.
"How are you older than me?" Emily questions then she is smacked on the head by my twin.
"Sure Kels." I say.
"Everyone's name has to include an animal and a color." Emily says as I turn of the projector.
"And I'm the child." Kelley mumbles as the 6 teams get together.
The teams discuss for a moment while I get ready to edit the team names on the computer then they look at me.
"Team 1 what is your team name?" I question.
"Red Jaguars." Mal says.
"Team 2?"
"Blue Barracudas." Julie says.
"Team 3?" I question.
"Green Monkeys." Kelley says.
"Team 4?"
"Orange Iguanas." Emily says.
"Team 5?"
"Silver Snakes."
"And Team 6?"
"Purple Parrots." My wife says so I finish updating the team names then I project them on the projection screen.

"One person from each team come up to get your envelope." I say then 6 women come grab an envelope. "Don't open them yet."
The 6 women nod then they return to their teams.
"To complete your tasks you must either bring the object back or take a picture if it's unable to be moved. Your team must stay together, you have 90 minutes to complete your task, " I say then look at my watch. "And your time starts............Now."
The 6 teams open their envelopes and game plan then they leave the meeting room leaving just the coaching staff.
"You guys wanna go to that little cafe on the corner?" Ash asks and we all nod.
The five of us grab our things then we leave the meeting room, leave the hotel, and head to the bakery. Once at the bakery I order steak and frites, a coke, and a bakers dozen of chouquette. When I get my food I find a table for us then sit down and start eating. The other ladies arrive soon and start eating.
"Whatever happened to that lady we escorted out of your wedding?" Ash asks.
"Excuse me?" Becky says and looks at me.
"Lily showed up to mine and Tobin's wedding." I say then look at Ash. "She got in a wreck back in 2019 that fucked up her brain and it went misdiagnosed so she's getting treatment for that. Tobin and I also have a restraining order on her."
"Where are you and Tobin Honeymooning?" Ali asks.
"We're going to Fiji after the November friendlies."
"That'll be fun."
"Yeah." I say then eat a few chouquette's. "So how'd you think we'll do against France?"
"Depends which France shows up." Becky says. "If it's 2019 World Cup France then we're in for a hell of a game."

The five of us continue to talk while we eat.
We talk about how Ash and Ali want to adopt, we talk about Carli and her husband's plans to have kids, and we talk about Becky and Zola's plans for their wedding.
"Well I guess we better get back." Carli says.
The five of us dump our trash, walk back to the hotel, then head to the meeting room. We wait for about ten minutes then the groups come rushing back into the room.
"FIRST." Kelley shouts.
"YOU WERE NOT." Sonnett shouts.
"HEY." I yell and everyone shuts up. "Thank you...Now one person from your team bring up all the evidence you have of your teams completion of the scavenger hunt."
A woman from each team comes up and brings their respective teams evidence then Ash, Ali, Becky, and Carli comb through the evidence. We deliberate for a little bit and come to a decision.
"And the winners are.....................................The Purple Parrots."

"I still find this really cute." My twin says and grabs my necklace with Tobin's initial on it.
"So's yours." Mal says and points at Kelley's necklace.
On Kelley's anniversary one of her gifts from Hope was a necklace with Hope's name on it.
"Yeah." Kelley says and instinctively she touches the necklace. "I finally found a necklace good enough for Hopey."
"Everyone ready?" I ask as the last of the team files out of the restaurant.
The team nod so we walk down the street and head into some lounge. We order our drinks, with me buying the drinks for the Purple Parrots group, then we all find somewhere to sit.
Tobin comes to sit by me, but some bimbo sits down next to me.
"Can I help you?" I question as the team look on.
"You can take me to your place and we can have some fun."
"Listen lady." Tobin says as I wrap my arms around her. "This is my girl."
Tobin then holds up her left hand and shows her wedding ring.
"She always has been and always will be."
"Mhmm." I say then kiss Tobin's sculpted bicep. "My Boo Bear."
"I bet I could fuck you better." The bimbo bitch says.
"You sure about that?" I question.
"Yep."
"I highly doubt that." I say then take a drink of my whiskey.
"How so?" The bimbo bitch asks then some other woman comes over and grabs the bitch.
"Just because Andre cheated on you doesn't mean you need to try and ruin another couple Jen." The woman says and pulls the bimbo away. "I apologize for her."
The two ladies walk away from us so Tobin tries to get up off my lap, but I keep her in place.
"Stay." I say when my wife looks at me.
"Alright." Tobin says with a smile. "Love you."
"I love you Boo Bear."

El's Revenge
“Revenge is not for the dead- we, as the living, take revenge to relieve the burden we feel,” I whispered into the air. “Salvation for the people who suffered because of you,” I watched as the city burned in the flames. “Salvation for the people like me, who believed in the proclaimed heroes when in reality they were the devils.” I smiled faintly as the ‘holy land’ of those ‘saints’ was destroyed. I heard rustling sounds as Charlotte came to stand next to me, grabbing my hand. “El, are we the bad guys?” If I was still the same as I was before, I might’ve broken down and started crying. Now, it was different. “A villain is just another victim. They cry and mourn, it’s just that no one heard, leading them into madness. It’s one of the reasons why we know the most, but care the least.” I took a deep breath. “We may be the bad guys in other peoples’ eyes, but in my story, we’re the heroes.” Charlotte took in my words for a while and pondered, before nodding in agreement. “As children, we loved the heroes, as adults we understand the villains.” I looked at her and bonked her on the head, earning an angry glare from her. “Hey! You’re barely an adult yourself you know,” she grumbled. I laughed and ruffled her hair, before countering her. “At least I’m not 12. You can’t even be considered a teenager at that age.” After that, we silently watched the flames ravage the land, before leaving.
