"Touchdown! That's Berry's fourth one this game!" The announcer's voice boomed into the microphone. Rachel smiled as one of her teammates patted her on the shoulder. She was the first woman to play professional football in the NFL, and she was a really good player. It all started in high school. Her friend Puck had gotten injured hours before the big game so she went in for him. It wasn't until halfway through the game that the coach realized that she was playing instead of Puck. She had played so good that the coach let her play for Puck until he got better. The next year she tried out for the team and made it. She fell in love with the sport, and went through a lot of controversy and criticism before she finally made it to the NFL, playing for the Raiders alongside Puck. When the quarter finally ended, she jogged to the bench to cool off.
"You're killing it out there Berry." Her teammate and best friend Puck said. She smiled.
"Thanks Puckerman." She turned around to grab a bottle of water when a beautiful girl in the stands caught her attention. She had long dark locks and beautiful brown eyes. Their eyes met and Rachel's breath caught in her throat. The girl was wearing a Raiders jersey, so she knew she was at least a fan of the team she played on. She flashed the girl a smile, causing her to blush.
"Who are you staring at?" Puck asked. Rachel subtly nodded her head in the girl's direction.
"She's smoking hot." Puck said with whistle, causing Rachel to hit him. Unfortunately, the fourth quarter started, so Rachel couldn't talk to the beautiful mystery girl.
"Huddle up!" Their coach yelled. Rachel and Puck rushed over to be with the rest of their teammates.
"This is the last quarter of the game. Don't let them get a touchdown or we're tied. We need this win and then we're in the Superbowl. Go out there and kick some ass!" They all got hyped up and ran onto the field. Rachel looked for the girl she saw earlier and spotted her in the crowd. The girl gave her a smile and a thumbs up, causing Rachel to smile.

There was only five minutes left of the game and both teams were tied. Rachel was getting anxious, she really wanted to win this. Finn, the quarterback, subtly gave her look, which meant he was going to pass the ball to her. You got this.
"Hike!" Finn yelled. He made it look like he was passing to Sam but passed it to Rachel. She caught the ball and began running full speed down the field. She herd fast foot steps behind her and felt an arm trying to pull her down. She closed her eyes tightly expecting to be pulled down, but instead she heard a grunt and someone fall. She smirked as she kept running. Puck always had her back. As soon as she made it to the end zone, the crowd went crazy.
"TOUCHDOWN! THE RAIDERS WIN! WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!" The announcer yelled. Rachel did her infamous touchdown dance before her teammates and coach poured a bucket of blue Gatorade on her head. Rachel smiled hugely and looked into the crowd for her mystery girl and instantly frowned when she couldn't find her.

Rachel walked to the parking lot with her teammates, who were all hyped up. So was she, but she was tired from all of the interviews she just did and she was kind of bummed that she didn't get to talk to the girl from the stands.
"We have to go celebrate." Sam exclaimed. Puck saw the look on Rachel's face.
"Nope, you're not bailing tonight." Rachel sighed but smiled.
"Alright, I guess a few drinks couldn't hurt." Puck patted her shoulder and they all headed to the bar.
"Good thing this place isn't crowded." Finn said, Rachel nodded in agreement and they ordered their drinks. She felt Puck poke her and swatted his hand away.
"Rach, it's that girl." Puck said pointing. Sure enough, it was the girl from the stands, sitting by a blonde and a guy with glasses. Rachel bit her lip.
"Should I go talk to her?" She asked.
"It's not like it's your first time talking to a girl."
"I know, but you saw her, she's beautiful."
"Just go talk to her." Puck said, pushing her softly out of the seat. She slowly walked over to where the girl was sitting. Be cool Rachel she thought to herself.
"H-hi." She mentally face palmed. The girl looked at her and smiled.
"Hi."
"I'm Rachel." The girl chuckled slightly.
"I know. I'm Santana." Santana. A beautiful name.
"You played a really great name." The guy with glasses sitting across from Santana said.
"Thank you." She smiled.
"I'm Kevin and this is Brittany." He introduced.
"Nice to meet you guys."
"You wanna sit with us?" Santana asked shyly. Rachel grinned and nodded. They all talked about random things for about a half an hour before Kevin and Brittany had to leave. Rachel loved it when people didn't make such a big deal about the fact that she's a celebrity.
"You didn't drive to the game with them?" Rachel asked, Santana shook her head.
"We all met up there." Rachel nodded.
"You wanna go take a walk with me?" She asked. Santana smiled and nodded. On her way out of the bar, she saw her teammates give her a thumbs up. She shook her head at them and followed Santana out of the bar.
"I like your jersey." Rachel grinned, causing Santana to blush. She was wearing number eight which was Rachel's jersey.
"I think you're a good player." Santana shrugged.
"Thank you. It means a lot. Are you from LA?"
"Yep. Lived here my whole life. Are you?"
"I was born in Lima, Ohio."
"I've never heard of it." Rachel chuckled.
"Wouldn't expect you too." They continued talking and telling each other small stuff about each other. Rachel hadn't even noticed that they made it back to the parking lot until Santana started to say goodbye.
"I had a good time." Santana said with a smile.
"Me too. I'm glad you came to the game."
"So am I." Rachel smiled and looked down. She was trying to figure out how to ask Santana out without sounding lame, but Santana beat her to it.
"Do you want to hang out again sometime? Like a date?" Santana asked shyly, Rachel grinned.
"I'd love to." Santana held out her phone and Rachel gave Santana hers.
"I'll call you." Santana gave her a hug before getting in her car. Rachel walked back to the bar with a smile on her face.
