《Seeing Double》30

"Hey." Christen and I say in unison making us laugh.
"Hey Twitter." Christen says.
"Sup." I say and wrap my arm around the shoulders of the brunette.
"In a couple hours we have a flight to Atlanta for the Victory tour games, but right now we're doing a q&a for the US Women's National Team Twitter so get your questions in." Christen says.
We wait a couple minutes then I look at the computer.
"Favorite footballing memory?" I read out.
"Well mine's winning the World Cup...twice." Christen says with a smirk.
"Show off." I mumble.
"And what is yours Astrid?" Christen teasingly asks.
"Uh I have two." I say.
"Okay."
"Well my first one is winning the UEFA Women's Champions League twice and then my last match for Wolfsburg was super special and something I'll never forget."
"Not even gonna mention the World Cup?"
"I mean I always knew we'd win and the last two games kinda sucked for me since I was sick one game then hurt the next."
"Yeah." Christen says then she looks at the phone. "For people saying Astrid was faking being sick you should've seen how much she got sick and how many bags of IV fluid she needed."
"Yeah. That sucked" I say then look at the computer screen and laugh. "Look at this."
I point to a question that Kelley left in the chat.
"Of course she would." Christen says with a giggle. "Astrid's twin asks if we are excited for Kelley's wedding."
"Yes Kelley we are excited for the wedding." I say. "Even if I have to wear a dress."
"Are you going to cover your tattoo's?" Christen asks.
"Kelley says I don't have too." I say as the forward looks at the computer screen.

"Astrid who has the better girlfriend? Kelley or Christen?" Christen reads off then she looks at me
"I plead the fifth."
I then look at the computer and find a question
"Favorite stadium you've played at." I read off then look back at my best friend.
"Um in the NWSL it's Rio Tinto and then internationally probably the Stadium in Paris." Christen says then she looks at me.
"Um I've only really been to like five stadiums in the NWSL so I'll say Rio Tinto. In Germany it would be the two Wolfsburg stadiums, the AOK-Stadion and the Volkswagen Arena. And internationally Parc des Princes."
My best friend nods then she looks at the screen.
"Astrid are you going to change numbers for club and country next season?" Christen reads.
"Um I'll have to talk to Abby and see what she wants to do for Utah and then I have the least amount of caps out of the keepers so they pick their numbers first so we'll see." I say.
I then look for a question.
"What would you two be doing if you didn't play football?" I read out.
"I have no clue." Christen says. "Maybe something in the fashion industry or broadcasting maybe."
"I'd be doing what I do for my side job which is designing planes."
"Smarty pants." Christen mumbles then she reads out a question. "Advice for soccer parents."
"Not everyone is cut out for football." I say. "Don't force your kid to play football because you want them to be the next Christen Press or Kelley O'Hara. And don't live your dreams through your kids. Nobody likes those kinds of parents. "
Suddenly my alarm goes off so Christen and I sign off of the livestream, grab our stuff, pick up the other two girls, then head to the airport to catch our flight to Atlanta

"ASTRID!" Tobin yelled as she runs into our hotel room with her laptop in her hands. "Baby you have to take this quiz!"
I take the computer from my girlfriend and look at the quiz she's talking about.
"Really Boo Bear?" I question as my girlfriend sits in front of me on the bed. "The Pottermore Sorting Hat quiz?"
"Yes. I have a bet going on with Alex and Kelley."
"And what do you think I am?" I ask as I start the quiz.
"Well..." Tobin says, but I tune out as I take the quiz.
I take the weird quiz and when I get to the end I look at my girl and wait for her to finish her spiel.
"...And that's why I think you're a Ravenclaw."
"Wait what?" I ask.
"Y-you're a Ravenclaw." Tobin hesitantly says.
"Aww Toby." I say and pull my girlfriend into a kiss. "You do know me."
"What?" Tobin asks so I show her the quiz. "I KNEW IT."
Tobin gets off the bed and does a little happy dance which I find cute.
"So what do you win?" I ask.
"They owe me free lunch for a week." Tobin says then she grabs her phone and calls someone.
"Did she take it?" Alex questions.
"She did." Tobin says.
"And?" Kelley asks.
"She's a Ravenclaw."
"That's a lie." My twin says.
"YOU TWO OWE TOBIN LUNCH." I shout.
"Dammit." Alex says.
"Fine we owe you lunch." Kelley says.
"Bye now." I say and hang up.
I take Tobin's phone and Tobin's laptop and put them on the vacant bed. I then pull my girlfriend onto the bed I'm on then I hover above her.
"We don't have to be anywhere until dinner in right?" I ask.
"In 6 hours yeah." Tobin says.
"Good." I say then ghost my lips over Tobin's. "Because we'll be busy for the next 5."

Kingdom of Tyr (Original)
This fiction has been concluded as of the end of Book 1, the portion of the story posted here. There will be a complete rewrite as a separate fiction in the future to make the system more consistent and add more to the world while expanding on the events within this fiction. This rewrite will begin eventually, posted as a separate story. Colt, twelve, is walking home from school when he's approached by another boy dressed oddly, who asks him - theoretically - about living in another world. After asking some information about the theoretical other world, Colt says he'd probably prefer to live there, to get away from the problems he has on Earth. Once Colt confirms that, he finds himself in an abandoned city, the other boy revealing himself to be a god, who then offers to train Colt until he can stand on his own and live by himself. After a couple of months, the god sends Colt off for greater training, to learn to use both Aura and Mana, with his only instructions being to return every now and then to visit, and to make friends and have lots of fun. This story follows Colt, a boy named Tyler he meets in the new city, and their journey to growing stronger, having fun, and striving to beat each other. Note: this story is not intended to be professional-quality, and it does draw inspiration from many sources. That said, it is its own story, in its own world. It has never been and never will be edited. It will also have multiple PoV's, starting somewhere after Chapter 8.

Another world
For some, this old story would always be altered, but the outcome was always the same. 'The Evening Celebration.' Some blame humanity for provoking them, while others accuse monsters from another realm, and a few believed it was all merely the devil's fault. There is now a killer in the city. Attacking all the young ladies, pulling something from within them, and abandoning them on the doorsteps of their loved ones. Exactly similar to the old story. Will this issue ever be resolved, or will it be the start of something new? Ignoring the matter is also an option. Continuing with their everyday routine is generally a wise decision. That's just for the time being, of course. Till the plot leads them to someone they should have never encountered.

Heart of the World (LitRPG)
This is the story of how I stabbed a bear. Well... technically speaking, that became the moment my life went into a vastly different direction, all on my way to 'The Mission'. The one I had been given alongside two other seasoned players. To help people in a world with a world. But, oh hoh, that bear... Don't get me started on that. So, apart from that, here is the gist of the other part. I'm a year long employee. Though, several years before I became an employee of theirs, this crazy ensuing madness of a Full Dive battle royale between even more companies started to boil over to a breaking point. Mine thought to search for something that would truly blow the competition out of the water. Well, they found it. Deep under the sea actually. They called it a game changer. Rumors abounded of course. But the most common knowledge became that it was a power source unlike the world had ever seen. However, I can tell you now, the unknown sometimes bump back. Especially when experimenting on highly unknown elements. Still, years safely went by and thus I became a developer there. Now, what does any of this got to do with stabbing a bear? Well, ask them that! They started it all. I'm new remember! Though, chaos ensued, and well, I was there. It probably helped that I had proven myself a good fighter in game and that I had some knowledge that could help with the triplets. Oh, but my sister would box my ears if she ever realized how little time I spent learning what the other developers created in the game before I had to go in there on, 'The Mission.' So, this is a story of a mission to save the people in Realm of Ancients. Not those rookies! Oh no, that was just a precurser. AND THERE WAS THE BEAR! Sorry, I had trouble getting over it. But that specific moment changed things. -- -- Hi! This is a project I have started for the fun. This is not your typical comedy. Yes, I added quite a bit humour to the story, BUT as things go into the eye of the storm the character will face challenges that hits him down. So it is not comedy in every chapter. But what do they say, when you've hit bottom, only way to go is up! :D I am always open to suggestions that might take the story to new heights, so you all are welcome to discuss the story in the comments. Just remember the all important SPOILER tags. ;) -Omri - I'd truly appreciate if you rate the story and leave reviews as we go. ;)
