The Morning After – Pain & Regret (But Not Really)
Skye woke up with the worst hangover of her life.
Her head was pounding. Her mouth was dry. Her body felt like it had been hit by a truck which, in a way, it had.
She blinked up at the ceiling, trying to remember how she even got back to the hotel.
Then..
Trinity groaned from the other bed.
Trinity: "What the hell happened?"
Skye slowly turned her head.
She and Trinity were both fully dressed in their kits, ski goggles still hanging around their necks, and..
Oh.
The World Cup trophy was in bed with her.
Skye (mumbling): "Oh. I took it home."
Trinity blinked at her, then at the trophy.
Trinity: "That's not allowed."
Skye just shrugged, rubbing her temples.
Then the hotel door burst open.
Emma Hayes walked in, sunglasses on, holding three cups of coffee and looking completely done with life.
She tossed a cup onto Skye's bed.
Emma: "Drink that. And give me the damn trophy back."
Skye groaned, hugging the trophy tighter.
Skye: "Finders, keepers."
Emma: "Skye."
Skye: "Fine."
She handed it over like a kid giving up a stolen cookie.
Emma sighed, taking a long sip of coffee.
Emma: "Congratulations, by the way. You're officially the most famous footballer in the world."
Skye (deadpan): "Cool. Can I die now?"
The World Reacts – Skye Bueckers Breaks the Internet
While Skye was dying in bed, her phone was going insane.
Social media? Exploding.
Her Instagram follower count had tripled overnight. Twitter was flooded with memes of her and Trinity causing chaos. Every sports show was talking about her.
And then she saw it
A message from LeBron James.
LeBron: "You're a problem. Congrats, champ." 🏆🔥
Skye stared at her screen.
Skye: "...I need to sit up for this."
Trinity peeked over, reading the message.
Trinity: "Okay, that's actually insane."
Skye quickly took a screenshot before replying.
Skye: "Appreciate it, King. Let me know when you wanna hoop." 🏀😉
Because, of course, she had to be cocky.
Text Chaos – The Clowning Never Ends
Her notifications were out of control.
Text Group: 'Arsenal FC 💀'
Leah: So you're just the best in the world now, huh?
Katie: You still can't beat me at FIFA, so who's the real winner?
Alessia: I actually screamed when you took that free kick. You're ridiculous.
Skye: And you love it. 😌
Alessia: Unfortunately, yes.
Text Group: 'USWNT – Chaos Edition'
Alex Morgan: You stole the trophy? 😭
And then
A message from Nika.
Nika: "Nice to meet u?" Really? You just had to be extra.
Skye: It's part of my charm. 😉
Nika: Remind me why I put up with you?
Skye: Because I'm amazing.
Skye grinned, feeling the tension between them immediately.
The Homecoming – USA Goes Wild
When the USWNT landed back home, it was chaos.
The entire airport was packed with screaming fans. Reporters everywhere.
Skye stepped off the plane, shades on, hoodie up, and immediately heard
Random fan: "SKYE, YOU'RE A LEGEND."
She turned, smirked, and hit a little salute.
The crowd went nuts.
Trinity shoved her playfully.
Trinity: "Bro, you're literally a celebrity now."
Skye grinned.
Skye: "Took y'all long enough to realize."
NYC Celebration Parade – The Most Skye Moment Ever
The team had a massive parade in New York City.
Fans lined the streets. Music blasted. Confetti rained down.
And, of course, Skye had to cause trouble.
At one point, she grabbed a megaphone, stood on top of the parade float, and yelled
Skye: "WHO'S THE WORLD CHAMPION?"
The crowd roared.
Skye: "WHO OWNS SPAIN?"
The crowd lost their minds.
Alexia (later in the DMs): "You're impossible."
Skye: "But you love it." 😉
The Reality of Fame – Can She Handle It?
That night, after the celebrations ended, Skye sat on her hotel balcony, looking out at the city lights.
Her phone was still buzzing nonstop.
But for the first time in a while, she felt... overwhelmed.
She was the biggest name in women's football now.
Everyone wanted a piece of her.
Her past mistakes? The drama? The complicated mess she made with Alessia, Nika, and now Alexia?
It wasn't going away.
And as much as she loved the spotlight, a small part of her wondered
Could she handle all of this?
A knock on her door.
She turned, and there was Trinity, holding two bottles of water and a bag of chips.
Trinity: "I know that look. You're spiraling."
Skye sighed, running a hand through her hair.
Skye: "It's a lot."
Trinity sat next to her, handing her the chips.
Trinity: "It is. But you were built for this."
Skye took a deep breath, then smirked.
Skye: "Damn right I was."
Trinity laughed.
And just like that, Skye was back.
Because if the world thought she was done?
They hadn't seen anything yet.
