Back in 2012 there was a girl named Ava and she played soccer but she didn’t really like it that much. She dreaded going to practice but she never complained to her mom. At every game she’d pretend to hurt herself and then the referees would tell her to get off and that she couldn’t play in the game anymore.
Ava loves hikes and just being with friends. She took hikes everyday in the forest right behind her house. She asked her friends but they always turned her down because they loved playing games and they hated going outside. They were always too busy with playing on minecraft or playing mario kart with their other friends.
One day Ava and her friends were outside playing basketball. They were just kicking the ball back to each other then Ava set up some goals then they started making goals. Then Ava said. “Why don’t we, get a drink right now?” Then all her friends said. “Sure why not Ava.” Then as they were walking inside one of her friends screamed. “AHHHH A SNAKE!!!!” Then all the girls ran inside, then grabbed a sip of water.
“So what happened?”
“I was walking with you guys, then I saw a rattlesnake. And then freaked out then I yelled. Sorry! I am sorry!!”
“It’s ok! It’s ok! We forgive you. Don’t leave Madi! We aren’t mad at you!!! Forgive us!!”
“Fine! But I am going to call my mom and ask her if you can come over Ava! And we can have dinner together!! Maybe even a sleepover!”
“Hey Madi?”
“Yea Ava? What do you need?”
“Wanna go take a hike?”
“Yes yes!! I’d love to I love hikes.”
The girls started getting ready to go on a hike. “Hey girls I am gonna go with Madi for a little hike.” Ava hollered. The other girls replied. “Ok we’re all going home for now. Bye!” Ava screamed in excitement. “Hey Madi! Are you ready to go?” Madi replied. “Yea, gimme a second. While I pack some snacks. Want anything? I have trail mix. Or almond bars? Whatever, I will just pack both.” As Madi packs both Ava gets a first aid kit. Ava hummed. “Yay we’re going on a hike!! I love hikes!” Then the Ava screamed. “MOM, ME AND MADI ARE GOING OUT FOR A HIKE!!! WE WILL BE BACK LATER!” Then they headed out the door.Then headed up the hill. The girls we’re in the forest.
“Hey Ava can we stop? I am out of breath.” The girls stopped then Madi pulled out water and started taking a sip and as she took a sip she started feeling better.
“What do we do now? Should we go back home and rest or hike further?”
“Oh my! Go further. Don’t you love hiking, Ava? I…”
Some stranger popped out of nowhere and hollered . “Why hello! What do we have here!” Madi & Ava jumped in shock. “Who, who are you! Are you going to hurt us?!?!?!?!?” The stranger giggled and said. “Ha, no. I won’t, why do you think that!? And this time, don’t be so scared. Answer.” Ava didn’t say anything. Madi shocked and scared replied. “I, I don’t know! We just want to hike! Please leave us alone!!! We didn’t do anything to you!” Ava said to Madi. “Calm down!” And the stranger says. “Ugh! Why do you all seem so scared!!!!! I want you to FOLLOW me and not RUN away! You hear me!?!?!? Also tell me you’re names! No last names please.” Ava and Madi looked at each other then said. “Well, I am Ava, this is my best friend Madi.” Madi waved. “Why do you want us to follow you though?”
The stranger said. “Well let me introduce myself. I am Jenni. I am 23 years old. Just because I want to do something for you.” The girls replied. “Well hello, Jenni.” Jenni then walked further into the forest then the girls followed her. Jenni pulls out a wand. “Ava may you please step up. In front of me.” Ava walked up scared. “Well, don’t be scared it won’t hurt! 100% Sure that it won’t.” Just like that Jenni started saying some words Madi nor Ava could understand. BOOM. Ava turned into a……..soccer player. Madi gasped then yelled. “ OH MY GOSH AVA YOU’RE IN A SOCCER JERSEY!! THAT’S RED” Ava plays then scores a lot of goals. “Jenni, may I ask you something?” Jenni says. “Yep? What do you want Ava.” Ava said taking a breath. “Why did you do this to me?” Jenni giggled then said. “ What made you a soccer player! Haha not me! You made yourself, now you like soccer because if you didn’t you wouldn’t have kicked a lot of goals! Most people that don’t like kicking the ball, you did.” As she giggled. “Get out there and go play your FIRST game next week on saturday! Good luck!” And Jenni disappeared like that.
Madi and Ava ran home really fast and the back door slam open.
“MOM!! LET’S GET SOCCER CLEATS! AND SHIN GUARDS !!!”
“Ava… I have to go home.My mom wants me home.She wants me home for dinner.”
“NO!!! HAVE DINNER HERE!!!!!”
Then Ava’s mom replied. “Sweetie calm down. Madi do you wish for me to call your mom, also I will ask her if you can sleep over? Or stay for a week? No school this week.” Madi excitedly exclaimed. “Yes! Thank you!” Ava’s mom said. “Sure! I love having you over. You’re awesome to have over! You never fight or complain, you’re so respectful.” “Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I love you guys!” Madi replied. Ava’s mom called up Madi’s mom answered the phone. “Yes?” Then Ava’s mom told her, “Sure she may!” Then she hung up.
The day of the game. “Ava, honey are you ready to go?” Ava’s mom hollered. “Ava. You’re mom wants us! Ready? For the big game?” Madi smiled.
“Yes! Ready to go! Just let me put my water bottle in my bag. And some treats!”
Madi and Ava walked downstairs. Ava’s Mom got everyone in the car then they drove off.
“So Ava you ready! To take on soccer!” Ava’s mom said.
Ava jokingly said “Ha yes! I am so ready! To go! TO TAKE ON THE WORLD!!!!! Haha. Sorry just a bit hyper but I am so ready!! Thanks again mom for inviting Madi to stay for the week! I really need some light in my body, she is that light.”
Madi replied “Ava! You’re so sweet! Want some jolly ranchers?”
Ava reached back grabbed some jolly ranchers from Madi.
“May I have a few?” Ava mom asked.
“Yep!” Ava exclaimed as she was handing them to her mom.
At the game Ava’s coach was yelling “GO AVA!!!! GO SHOOT THAT GOAL!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!! RUN RUN RUN!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!”
Ava ran so fast that she could feel her legs burning but she RAN up to that goalie aimed the ball then kicked the ball right into the goal. Ava had done it! Scored the last score that needed to be scored so that they could win that tournament! She had done it again! Won her first ever game just like she wanted. Ava screamed.
“I SHALL LIVE, PLAY, AND SLEEP SOCCER!!! SOCCER IS MY LIFE!!!! NEVER TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME! NEVER SHALL IT BE GONE!” Screamed Ava in excitement.
Madi ran then gave Ava a hug. Ava hugged Madi so tight that she was not breathing for a second then they stopped hugging.
“Ava want to know something that I wish was true?”
“Yea?”
“That we we’re sisters and that will never happen.”
“We are sisters…..”
“NO WAY! WE ARE NOT!!!!”
“We’re sisters from another mother. Hahah get it? But really! We are! Never forget about each other, love will be spreaded, between us two and you will never get forget me and I will never forget you!” Madi broke down into tears. “I love you!” Madi hugged Ava.
