Nika was back in America.

And Skye? Back at Arsenal.

Which meant two things:
1. She actually had to focus on training again.
2. She had way too much time to be a menace online.

⸻

Training: Business As Usual (Or Not)

Arsenal's morning session started as usual—warm-ups, passing drills, and small-sided games.

But Skye? She was in a mood.

Maybe it was the lack of chaos without Nika around.
Maybe it was just who she was.

Either way, she was feeling extra cocky today.

Katie: (watching Skye mess around during drills) "You're acting suspiciously confident today."

Leah: (narrowing her eyes) "She's hiding something."

Alessia: (grinning) "She's always hiding something."

Skye just smirked, flicking the ball over Leah's head during a rondo.

Skye: "Me? Hiding something? Never."

Leah, unimpressed, clattered into her on the next play.

Leah: "That's for the nutmeg."

Skye: (laughing, laying on the ground) "Fair."

The team continued training, but Skye was already plotting her next move.

And that move? Was about to go viral.

The Sneaky TikTok Post

After training, Skye sat in the locker room, phone in hand, smirking.

She had just the perfect video to post.

It was a montage of random clips from her 'secret' time with Nika in London.
• A blurry clip of Nika laughing at her terrible disguise.
• A sneaky shot of Nika watching the Arsenal game.
• A sped-up video of them running through the stadium like fugitives.
• And the final clip? Skye looking at the camera with a knowing smirk, captioned:

"A little bit of chaos never hurt anyone 😏 #LondonDiaries"

She posted it without hesitation.

And within minutes?

The internet exploded.

⸻

Fan Reactions:

@USWNTUpdates: "SKYE. WHAT IS THIS. WHO IS THAT. WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!"
@WNBAFans: "That's Nika. I would bet my life savings."
@ArsenalWFC: "We all knew Skye was a menace but this level of sneaky posting is next level."
@RandomFan: "She's literally the most unserious person alive and I love her for it."
@AnotherFan: "Skye soft-launching like we can't recognize Nika is insane."

Trinity texted immediately.

Trin: "YOU DID NOT JUST POST THAT."

Skye: "What post? 😇"

Trin: "I'm blocking you."

Skye: "No you're not, you love me too much."

Trin: "Unfortunately."

Skye cackled.

She lived for this chaos.

⸻

The Instagram Story Tease

As if the TikTok wasn't bad enough, Skye took it one step further.

She posted a black-and-white photo on her Instagram story.

It was just her hand resting on someone's leg.

The caption?

"Back to training... but my mind is elsewhere. 🤫"

Within seconds, her DMs were flooded.

Alessia: "You're actually evil."

Katie: "This is ridiculous behavior and I respect it."
Leah: "I hate how good you are at this."
Paige: "Mom just asked if you have a girlfriend. Look what you've done."
Trinity (again): "BLOCKED."

Skye was thriving.

She closed her phone, grinning.

Time to let the internet lose its mind while she went back to training.

Because at the end of the day?

Skye always won.

Skye held her secret like a pro.

The internet? Losing its mind.
Her teammates? Suspicious as hell.
Her DMs? A war zone.

But no one actually knew who the mystery girl was.

And Skye? She was loving every second of it.

⸻

Training: More Questions, No Answers

At Arsenal's next training session, the tension was real.

Not because of football. Because of Skye.

The second she walked into the dressing room, the interrogation began.

Katie: (arms crossed, staring Skye down) "Alright. Spill."

Leah: (leaning against a locker) "You're being weird."

Alessia: (grinning, trying to act innocent) "We just wanna talk..."

Skye: (dramatic gasp) "Is this an ambush?"

Katie: "Yes."

Leah: "You did this to yourself."

Skye bit back a laugh.

They were so close to figuring it out.
But not close enough.

Skye: (sitting on the bench, stretching like nothing was happening) "I genuinely don't know what you're talking about."

Katie: (fake gasping, mocking her tone) "Oh my god, she's actually playing dumb."

Leah: (narrowing her eyes) "Be honest. Are you dating someone?"

Skye paused for dramatic effect.

Then smirked.

Skye: "Define dating."

Alessia: (shoving her lightly) "OH, YOU'RE THE WORST."

The team groaned in frustration, but Skye just grabbed her water bottle and walked onto the pitch.

Secret? Still safe.

The Internet Takes Over

Meanwhile, Skye's cryptic posts had the internet spiraling.

Trending topics included:
• "Who is Skye's mystery girl?"
• "Skye soft-launching her love life LIKE A MENACE."
• "USWNT AND ARSENAL INVESTIGATION SQUAD LET'S GO."

Even celebrities were getting involved.

Comments under her Instagram post:

@AlexMorgan13: "We need answers."
@Kerr20: "She's enjoying this too much."
@JudeBellingham: "Messy. I respect it."
@TrinityRodman: "I KNOW THE ANSWER BUT I REFUSE TO HELP."

Trinity's comment? Made it worse.

Because now, people were begging her to spill.

Texting with Nika: The Real Chaos

Skye finally checked her phone after training.

Nika: "You're actually insane."

Skye: "I know. Isn't it great?"

Nika: "They're gonna figure it out eventually."

Skye: "That's future me's problem."

Nika: "You're lucky I find this entertaining."

Skye: "You're lucky I'm cute."

Nika: "Debatable."

Skye: "Wow. I'm hurt."

Nika: "Are you though?"

Skye: "Not at all. But you could make it up to me."

Nika: "...I walked into that one."

Skye grinned at her screen.

This? Was fun.

Secret Still Safe... For Now

By the end of the day, no one had cracked the code.

Skye? Still undefeated.

And the best part?

She was only getting started.
