A/N: I'm very sorry that I haven't updated any of my other stories; I have been very busy doing many things (including sports and working on sports and my very own story). And now I thought of this one and it won't get out of my head so…here it is. This story it is set in mid-October of 2010.

Also this is more of a prologue than anything.

Disclaimer: I only own what you don't recognize. (And probably even less than that.)

Chapter 1

Steph's P.O.V.

I walked into my apartment, exhausted after yet another day of bounty hunting with only Lula as back-up. I was seriously starting to re-consider what I had yelled at Ranger last month about staying out of my life and not helping me out all the time (with money, cars, etc.) if all he was going to do was steal a few kisses here and there. I had officially ended things with Morelli months ago; not that Ranger believed that or anything, but whatever, it doesn't matter anymore.

I threw my keys and purse onto the kitchen table, then opened one of my cabinets and took out my blender (that everyone assumed was just for milkshakes and frappes and that other junk). Then I opened my freezer, pushing all of the ice cream out of the way I eventually made it to my secret stash of frozen fruits. Pulling those out I set them on my counter and got to work on making a delicious banana, blueberry, and strawberry smoothie. Once my wonderful concoction was created, I poured myself a tall glass, putting the extra in the fridge, and stashing the fruit back in my freezer.

Taking my glass I walked into the living room and, sitting on the couch, I turned on the TV. I knew there was a game starting in a few minutes and I had been eagerly anticipating it for a few days now. The screen lit up showing some of the most athletic women in the world taking their positions. I watched as the whistle sounded and the game begun.

Most of my friends know that I have loved watching games on TV ever since my dad got me into them when I was a little kid. They assume that my favorite sport is either baseball or football, or maybe even basketball or hockey, but what they don't know is that the sport I love more than anything else is soccer.
