A/N: Wow! This has been hard for me. I'm just on PC, so I won't be updating that much. I just need Wattpad on mobile, and I'll be able to update much more.

Anyway, the song that Rena played on her phone is "Everyday" from the movie High School Musical 2. Dun judge me xD

"Congratulations, Sakuma Rena. You're the first female to represent Japan."

Touko's words echoed in my head for the past few days. I never expected this. I always thought that Nica or maybe even Hanako would get in. I didn't expect this to happen. 

"E-Eh?! Touko, why me?!" 

"Your plays reminded me of someone I used to idolize before she stopped. And that your skills as a captain, player, and a strategist show that you're worthy to represent Japan. Plus, Endou and the others were waiting for you to come back."

I groaned. Even Trina's team members were gaping at me. Rika was looking furious when my name was announced. 

"Sis! We're leaving soon!"

"Coming!" I shouted. I began packing the rest of my stuff; Food, clothes, money, my Harry Potter book 1, my diary, pencil case, and of course, my notebooks full of hissatsus that I personally copied. There were four in total... but I have one especially reserved for this occasion...

I took the box under bed and opened it; There was a clean, light blue notebook that had the kanji symbols for my name, 佐久間レナ. (Sakuma Rena). You know what was in here? Great hissatsu and hissatsu tactics. I wanted to combined my mom and dad's teammates hissatsus, mom and dad hissatsus, my teammates and friend's hissatsus; Basically, combining the past with the present.

"Sis! They're waiting for us!"

"I'm there, Jirou!"

*****************************************

"Wow! Did you see that?!"

"That's the Inazuma Jet!"

"Rena-chan! Jirou-chan! Glad you made it!"

"Aha... sorry." The both of us muttered. How Rosa became a trainer, I'll never know.

"Congrats on getting chosen!" Haruna exclaimed. "For a moment there I thought someone else would get your spot!"

"Actually I wasn't even expecting it. At all." I said in complete honesty.

"Glad you could join us again, Sakuma!" Endou shook my hand. 

"Yeah. It was actually a miracle for someone like you to be here." Akio said. I had an irk appear in my head. He looked at me as if he was confused. "No really. It's a miracle."

"Baka." I said.

After some chats, all of us got on the plane. The flight was kinda long, but I didn't really mind it. As for Jousuke... aha, I didn't know he was scared of heights. I used to be scared of heights, but after training, I wasn't. Haha!

I was sitting next to Haruna, and Aki. Rosa was with Fuyuka and Endou. I sense a vibe... I was behind Jirou, Shuuya, and Kidou. Lucky for me, I was at the window seat, looking at the ocean. 'Man... I feel like it was just yesterday when I said I was gonna be representing Japan...' I thought to myself.

"Thinkin' about before?" I heard Jirou ask.

"What do you expect?" I asked back.

"Oh. I saw you before... a few years back, I think?" Shuuya said, trying to recall the memory.

"When?" Haruna asked.

"Ah! It was during the FFI, and it was on their birthday too!" Shuuya exclai--- exclaimed?! Wait.. oh right!

"FFI? Who was winning?" Kidou asked.

"It was Italy versus England. Of course, me and Rena supported Italy, because their coach at the time was our uncle. And that's when Rena had her first soccer crush~." Jirou teased.

"Hey! I thought we kept that a secret!" I said, blushing.

"Ah, it was Fideo Ardena, right?" Shuuya smirked. I blushed harder.

"Shuuya! Jirou!" I pinched their cheeks.

"But without Fideo you wouldn't have played soccer with me." Jirou said.

"And you wouldn't have met me either." Shuuya said. 

"Ah, tell the story!" Rosa exclaimed from behind.

"Ah... well..." I started.

----(Flashback; 9 years ago)----

"That was an awesome match! Wasn't it, Rena?!"

"Y-Yeah... I-I think so---Ah!"

"Move it brat." 

"M-My clip...!" Rena shouted, but it was a soft one. Man, it was bad timing for their father to go to the restroom. The match between Italy's Catenaccio and England's Alistor. Rena and Jirou were told to walk outside and wait for their father on the way out, but unfortunately for them, Rena and Jirou didn't know that a 14 year old girl was behind them. Rena was putting on her clip when the girl had bumped into her, and now the clip was near the locker rooms of Catenaccio.

"Rena! Dad told us to wait!" Jirou shouted when he saw Rena run towards the door. 

"Coach, I have to--- hmm? What's this?"

Rena had a red tinge on. The youngest member, who was possibly 3 years older than her, saw her clip, and luckily he didn't step on it. The boy noticed that Rena was staring him. 'Ah, I'm guessing the clip's hers...'  He thought. "Is this yours?" He asked.

"H-Hai..." Rena said, looking down now.

"Ah, no wonder you needed the clip. Hold on." The boy knelt down at her level and placed the clip on her hair. Her bangs were at the sides so her face was showing. "See?  You look better like that." He said as he stood up.

"Fideo! We're going back!"

"I'll see you!" The boy, or, Fideo, ran towards his teammates and coach who were walking out of the locker room.

"Rena! Dad's gonna kill us!" Jirou said as he pulled his twin's hand and ran outside the stadium.

Rena still had the red tinge on her face. Well, who wouldn't? A soccer celebrity just fixed her hair...

-----(Present Time)-----

"And... I guess that's how it started..." I said, recalling that memory. After that.. Kidou, Jirou, Haruna, and Rosa were smirking at me and the others were looking at me. "W-What?!" I said, blushing a little.

"No wonder you kept that style." Kidou said.

"Ay! My bangs were longer than Jirou's!" I said.

"Also, I'm older." Jirou bragged. I rolled my eyes.

"Are we gonna go through this again? By 2 seconds." I said.

"But still, I'm older!"

"By 2 seconds."

"Still older!"

"By 2 seconds."

******************************************

"Wow~!"

"I didn't know Liocott was made into an island like this!"

"I'll say." I muttered. Right. The whole island was decorated like it was an island especially made for soccer. 

"Rena!"

"Kuroi?!" Right. Kuroi, after a few weeks before the FFI started, Detective Onigawara said that his only living relative was participating in the FFI. Of course, right before the 3rd term of classes in Teikoku, he had already left the country. It was, unusual for me to see Kuroi wearing something different other than his orange sweater hoodie and pants. Now, he was wearing a yellow and green jacket with matching pants.

"Kuroi! It's a surprise to see you here!" Endou exclaimed.

"I know! Turns out that my mom was Brazilian!" Kuroi exclaimed. "Her last name was Sams, and my it's my uncle's last name, too!" No wonder he had the black highlights. 

"Awesome!" Endou exclaimed. 

"And, I was chosen as a forward for the Brazilian soccer team!" Kuroi fist pumped. 

"Congrats." Jousuke said while shaking his hand. Then he looked at me and Jirou curiously. 

"So... was Rena mistaken as a boy again?" Kuroi teased.

"Haha." I rolled my eyes. "I was chosen, but it's a long story."

"Tell me about it. I have to get back to my team! See ya!" Kuroi said before running off to wherever his team members are. 

"Well, let's go?" Hibiki-san said.

All of us went into the caravan, and we explored most of the city. First, we rode past Central Street, then afterwards, somewhere that looked like America. According to Haruna, in order to allow all participating teams for their best ability, the streets of their country have been reproduced for the area where each team is staying. Well that certainly is a cool way to put up the travel vibe. 

Soon we rode through England's area. Right. Me and Jirou planned that we'd study in Englan after we graduated junior high. Just looking at the area made me wanna go to England right now. Maybe if there was time I'd walk around for a bit. 

"Hey, if Lovino and Feliciano were here, they'd take us out for a gondola ride." Jirou said. 

We passed by Italy's area, and it looked like we were going to Venice. And, that's were my cousins and uncle live. I took out my phone and snapped a quick picture of it. "I'm sending this to dad and uncle Antonio later." 

We passed by a soccer field, and once we saw it, we heard Endou say, "Furukabu-san, please stop the caravan!"

He did stop, and Endou opened the window to see who was playing. I took a look myself, and I saw Italy's national team. Well, it wasn't team Catenaccio anymore. It's been a few years since I've heard the new Italian team...

"Defense! Whenever you see a chance, come up to attack!"

Fideo? That's him?!

"That can't be Fideo, right?" I asked, looking at Jirou. 

"Eh?" Jirou took a little closer look before looking back at me. "You're right, it is Fideo! Yo! Ardena-san!"

"Jirou are you an idiot?!" I asked furiously.

"Sakuma-kun, you're disturbing them!" Aki scolded.

They stopped playing and they looked at our direction. Before I even had a chance to hide, Jirou took my clip, revealing my identical bangs and threw it to the field. "Jirou! That was my only clip!" I scolded while punching his arm.

"Sakuma, you were recruited because Midorikawa couldn't go on. Don't make me force you to be sent home after your first match." Coach Kidou scolded angrily.

"Sorry, coach." Jirou looked down.

"Oi! You over there! You dropped your clip!"

"Hold on coach, this brother of mine threw my clip." I told him before glaring at Jirou, and going out of the caravan. For a minute I heard Rosa say, "Rena's really lucky", and Haruna replying with a, "Yeah I know".

Once I was already there, I was... 

A nervous wreak.

"Aha, sorry about my brother, Fideo." I said and bowed for an apology. "I'd like my clip---"

"Hold on... why do you look familiar? And why do you know my name?" Fideo asked, raising an eyebrow.

A red tinge crept up on my face. "M-Maybe you're just imagining things?" I said.

"Wait... Now I remember!" Fideo gave a smile, and the red tinge on my face grew wider. "You're the girl that I placed the clip on a few years back!"

How does he still remember that?! I was pretty darn sure he wouldn't!

"And about your brother, it's fine. Hold still, OK?" He placed the clip on my hair again. 

"T-Thankyougoodluckbye!" I said so fast and ran back to the caravan. Once I got back, Jousuke, Kidou, Kogure, Haruna, Rosa, and Jirou were smirking while the rest were just giving curious looks.

"Got your chance, sis?" Jirou teased.

"HONTO NO BAKA!" I shouted and repeatedly punched Jirou on the arm.

*************************************************

"Wow! Sugoi!"

When we arrived like our area, it was like we never really left home. My room was in front of Shuuya's and next to Jirou's. I removed the clip out of my hair and placed it on the table. "Dang you Jirou... I am so going to blackmail you for this..." I muttered under my breath.

It was getting a little late, so I took off my jacket and grabbed my phone hit the play button.

"Once in a lifetime, means there's no second chance
So I believe that you and me
Should grab it while we can

Make it last forever, and never give it
It's our turn and I'm lovin'
Where we're at

Because this moment's really all we, have

Everyday, of our lives
Wanna find you there, wanna hold on tight
Gotta run, while we're young,
And keep the faith

Everyday, from right now
Gonna use our voices to scream out loud
Take my hand, together we, will celebrate
Oh, Everyday----"

"They say that you should follow... and chase down what you dream... but if you get lost and lose yourself, what does it really mean?" I sang along and chuckled to myself. 

"Mind if I come in? It's me, Rosa."

I paused my phone and opened the door. "You need something?"

"Not really." Rosa replied, smiling. "I'm just glad you were chosen."

I smiled a little. "Yeah. I am too. I thought Rika or Trina would..."

"By the way... how come you wanted to play soccer?" Rosa asked. "Sure, it was because of your brother and Fideo, but why?"

I lied down on my bed. "I dunno... It just started with me deciding not to read my book and going out of the backyard and copied my first technique." I said.

"And that was...?"

"Odin Sword."

Rosa smiled. "Anyway... Jirou and Kidou wanted to tell you something."

"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Jirou says that he's glad that you're back to your old self and Kidou says that he sees you as your mom. Night."

Rosa stood up, exited my room, and closed the door. Hmm... why would Kidou say that...?

"Meh. I'll just ask tomorrow." I said, not knowing that I already drifted to sleep.
