The Inazuma Best Eleven were improving dramatically . They were able to keep up with Elena , Angel , Rosalie , Isabella , Glacia and Bété . The Inazuma Best Eleven members were taking a break , until they heard Isabella coming Rosalie along with Elena and Angel .

Isabella: hey girls can you do that shoot again I think I can stop it now .
Rosalie: are you sure ?
Isabella: yes , I'm sure
Elena: okay

Rosalie first whistles and penguins with pink ribbons emerged out of the ground. As Rosalie kicks the ball, the penguins with pink ribbons soar among the ball.

Rosalie: Empress Penguin...

Then, Elena and Angel kick the ball together towards the goal with the penguins with pink ribbons soaring around it.

Elena and Angel: No.2

Isabella slashes her hands several times and electric lasers come out.

Isabella: Electric Trap !!

But the ball just pass through the electric lasers.

Rosalie: I did warn you
Isabella: * sigh * no matter how much I train , you girls always surprise me .
Rosalie: So Coach , you have seen the data from Before and After . The team have improve dramatically , I think they ready to play against Last Emperor .

Rosalie was walking away from the group , she looked at Angel and Elena giving them a nod . Angel and Elena nodded back at her , Rosalie continue walking to the training facility , until someone called her .

Mark: Rosalie aren't you gonna practice with us ?
Rosalie: I'm not in the good mood to practice with you guys , maybe tomorrow . * walked away *
Mark: okay !! I wonder what wrong with my sister ?
Giselle: is it obvious , Rosalie is angry because she won't be able to replace you guys anymore .

Elena , Angel , Isabella , Glacia and Bété starts laughing at Giselle . Everyone expect Coach Hillman was confuse of why they were laughing .

Giselle: Hey , why are you laughing ?
Elena: we're laughing because that was a lie * laughing *
Tezcat: you mean Rosalie wasn't planing on replacing us ?
Angel: yep * laughing *
Dawn: Coach are they telling the truth ?
Coach Hillman: yes , Rosalie thought that your going to prove her that she was wrong and you deserve to be Japan Representatives .
Glacia: so that her training method at least work quicker when your determine to prove her wrong .
Goldie: I never thought Rosalie would do that ?
Gabriel: me neither
Bété: well I think is best to show them , how Rosalie do things for the team
Angel , Elena , Glacia and Isabella: Hmm

Everyone followed Angel , Elena , Glacia , Isabella and Bété to Rosalie's room . When Angel open the door it , everyone saw papers stacked nicely . On Rosalie's desk was the team profile with their strength and weakness , also a laptop was still on with some information on how to break Last Emperor defense and a sleeping Rosalie was on the desk .

Angel: I knew she'll fall asleep soon
Riccardo: why would she be sleeping  ?
Isabella: wait , you guys haven't notice ?
Mark: notice what ?
Angel: Rosalie have being staying up late for 8 days , she being trying to research on Last Emperor defense . She hardly have any sleep or have eaten breakfast and lunch , only a few snacks and coffee wake her up . 
Fei: Rosalie have been getting all these informations for us and we didn't ...
Nathan: trust her training method .

Mark went to Rosalie's bed and grab a blanket , he walked to Rosalie sleeping body and gently put the blanket on Rosalie . A gently smile suddenly appeared on Rosalie face , making Mark smile as well .

Mark: get a good rest sis , you really deserve it * smile * Cmon guys let's continue training for Rosalie !!
Mark , Nathan , Axel , Jude , Byron , Xavier , Jordan  , Arion , Jean-Pierre , Riccardo , Gabriel , Victor , Tezcat  , Fei , Goldie , Rosie , Silvia , Celia , Camellia , Skie and Jade: * whisper * Mark keep it down !!
Mark: oh , my bad

Mark , Nathan , Axel , Jude , Byron , Xavier , Jordan  , Arion , Jean-Pierre , Riccardo , Gabriel , Victor , Tezcat  , Fei , Goldie , Rosie , Silvia , Celia , Camellia , Skie , Jade: * quietly * yes !!

Everyone walked out of Rosalie's room , but than Jordan was still in Rosalie's room looking at her sleeping figure with a graceful smile on her face .

Jordan: * whisper *  you did this for us , you trust us and yet we didn't even thought about cooperate with you . But now we know , we can trust you Rosalie . No wonder I fall for you again , always thinking what best for the team .

Jordan gently tucked Rosalie's brown hair behind her ear and smiled . Jordan lean in towards Rosalie face , but someone interrupted Jordan . Jordan turned around quickly and saw Xavier smiling at Jordan .

Xavier: so there you are , everyone is wondering where you were .
Jordan: sorry about that , I was thanking Rosalie for doing this for us actually .
Xavier: even though she sleeping ?
Jordan: yeah , we all know what she gonna say...
Xavier and Jordan: * mimic Rosalie voice * " I only done that so you won't embarrass me in the Asia Preliminary and the world ." * starts to laugh *
Xavier: yeah , she would say that to you , Jordan .
Jordan: I know , so what are we gonna do . Rosalie usually tells what to do next ?
Xavier: well everyone expect Giselle and Dawn are planing to make Rosalie favorite dinner , you wanna help ?
Jordan: sure

When Jordan past Xavier and was out of Rosalie's room , Xavier quickly hold Jordan shoulder . Jordan stopped walking and looked at Xavier face , he saw Xavier serious face .

Xavier: Jordan , I have a question to ask ?
Jordan: sure Xavier , you can ask me anything .
Xavier: do you have a crush on Rosalie ?
Jordan: * blushes hard * yes . Do you have a crush on Rosalie , Xavier ?
Xavier: what if I do have a crush on Rosalie , what would you say Jordan ?
Jordan: nothing to you , but trying to win Rosalie heart
Xavier: you know the others are gonna fall for Rosalie soon right ?
Jordan: I know , that why I'm gonna work hard for her . So she notice me more than the rest of you . * walked away from Xavier *

Xavier looked at Jordan walking away from him , Xavier sigh and looked at Rosalie sleeping figure . Xavier smiles , while thinking back of what Rosalie did for him during the few days even though she hates them . She still open up to the team , when they lose confidence on their soccer and skills . Xavier walk to the cafeteria to help the others plan to make a delicious meal for Rosalie .

~ Timeskip , Dinner Time and Rosalie POV ~

I open my eyes , than I looked at the clock to see that it's was 7:30 pm . It's seem to me , I was asleep for that long . I know I was tired , but I didn't know that I was that tired . I yawned a bit than I stretched my arms and legs , I got up and notice there was a blanket on me .

Rosalie: * whisper * I wonder who put my blanket on me ? * thinking * maybe it's Nelly or Elena or Angel . Oh well , it doesn't matter anyway .

I cleaned up my desk and charged my laptop . I went downstairs to go to the cafeteria and eat there despite how much I hate the team .

Rosalie: * whisper * I still wish that Amanda didn't come to Inazuma Town , than none of this wouldn't happen . But than again I wouldn't be able to meet Angel , Elena , Bété , Glacia , Isabella , Coach Winston and Headmistress Fauna .

I arrived to the cafeteria to see everyone standing and smiling at me , I blinked my eyes three times to see if I'm not seeing any illusions . But than again , it's actually real the team is smiling at me .

Rosalie: okay , what going on ?
Elena: Rose , the team have something to say ?
Nathan , Axel , Jude , Byron , Jordan  , Arion , Jean-Pierre , Riccardo , Gabriel , Victor , Tezcat  , Fei , Goldie , Rosie , Silvia , Celia , Camellia , Skie and Jade: we're sorry for not trusting you and thank you for doing some research on our opposing team weakness .
Rosalie: I only done that so you won't embarrass me in the Asia Preliminary and the world
Xavier and Jordan: * whisper * knew it .
Rosalie: so what's for dinner ?
Angel: your favorite Lemon Butter Chicken with Noodles

Rosalie: you guys didn't have to do this
Skie: no , this is the only way to thank you Rosalie
Rosalie: thank you * small smile *
Angel: now than , tomorrow we'll have normal practice than we gonna discuss information we got from Rosalie about Last Emperor .
Mark , Nathan , Axel , Jude , Xavier ,  Byron , Jordan  , Arion , Jean-Pierre , Riccardo , Gabriel , Victor , Tezcat  , Fei , Goldie , Nelly , Rosie , Silvia , Celia , Camellia , Skie and Jade: yes

Everyone was talking to each other leaving me alone again , but I was wrong . Mark , Nelly , Xavier and Jordan came to my table while smiling at me .

Mark: How your Lemon Butter Chicken Noodles , sis ?
Rosalie: is great , you must have tried to make it perfect for me
Nelly: of course , its the least we could do
Xavier: yeah , you did so many things for us
Jordan: even though we didn't trust your methods or plan , but now we do
Rosalie: thank you Mark , Nelly , Xavier and Jordan
Mark: hey , when are you going to call me big brother ?
Rosalie: until I trust you Mark
Mark: * groan * here I thought you'll trust me by now
Rosalie: * roll her eyes * yeah ,  keep dreaming

But secretly I wanted to call Mark , big brother again but my heart says no , it feels it's not the right time yet . It great to see everyone again , but I won't let my guard down . From what Giselle said NOW YOU RUINED HER PLAN !! Does that mean Amanda is trying to kick me out by using her followers . I sigh quietly making sure Mark , Nelly , Xavier and Jordan didn't hear it . Whats your next plan , Amanda ?  What are you doing now ?

~ Outside the Training Facility and Giselle POV ~

Giselle: * quietly shout * Amanda !!
Amanda: I'm here , so did the plan work ?
Dawn: no , it's seems like she figured out what your planing Amanda .
Amanda: * small growl * that brat , how did she know ?
Giselle: Elena overheard the conversation few weeks ago , she told Rosalie and she planned to replace the Japan Representative but it's was all a lie .
Amanda: for what ?
Dawn: to encourage the team to improve much better and to prove Rosalie that they deserve to be Japan Representative
Amanda: and let me guess it's worked
Giselleand Dawn: yes
Amanda: * growl * great
Giselle: so what are we gonna do now Amanda ?
Amanda: for now let's do nothing , until the right time Rosalie will fall .
