How is everybody? This is my first story in a LONG while! I hope you all enjoy it! I just wanted to say that I stole a little idea from Hookemhorns12..heheh...hope you dont mind bro! I promise the rest will be completely original! And thanks for you inspiration, man!

"TOUCHDOWN!"
The announcer's booming voice fills the crowd with a thrilling excitement. It's gameday. But not just any game.

This is the final football game of the season. There are 5 seconds left until the end of the 4th quarter. With this touchdown our team just got, the score is now 21-20. We're catching up. Awh yeah.

We are the home team. The Eagles. If we win, we finally for the FIRST TIME in 5 years, we would have a winning season. If we make this fieldgoal, we go into overtime, where we would make another touchdown, and finally, win. Awh. Yeah.

It's all on me though. The pride of a school, town, and most importantly, family. All on MY shoulders. You see, I'm the kicker. It's my job to make this field goal. AWH YEAH!

"GARRETT!" the coach yells, "you're up!"

It's all set. My team's lined up. I go to the ball, all pumped up and ready to kick.

My leg is in the air. Here it goes! Glory, here I come!
Right before my foot makes contact with the ball, my leg cramps up. I involuntarily yelp and grab my leg. Crud! This hurts!

Unbeknownst to me, I've already kicked the ball. It makes it a good two feet in the air. Oh no...

Yep. I blew it. The buzzer and the groans from the team and the crowd cause my heart to sink.

"...leaving this a victory for the Warriors." the announcer's words sting my ears. I mentally kicked myself on my way back to the locker room.

Later...

"Chase...please remember. Win or lose, I will always love you." my mom comforts me.

"Thanks Mom. Love you too." I reply, as I finish my dinner.

"Well, it's getting late. Goodnight sweetie." she says as she kisses the top of my head, and walks up stairs.

"Goodnight." I finish off my chicken, and make my way to the couch. Well, I guess an introduction is neccesary.

My name is Chase. I live in Cheerio, a small town in Georgia that no one has ever heard of. I live with my mom and little sister, Katie. I had a dad, but that jerk left us about a year ago. It's been tough on us all, but we've managed to carry on. I'm 17, I work at Office Max, (exciting,right?) and as you've probably found out, I'm the kicker on my school's football team.

Sports have been kind of a haven since my dad left. Video games have helped me take my mind off it too. In terms of music, I'm open to all, really. Rock, pop, hip hop, even a little country.

I turn on the tv. Great. No signal, thanks to this storm. I'm not tired..might as well play a video game or two.

Madden?

Nah. Dont really feel like football, since I already screwed up one game tonight.

Modern Warfare 3?

Nah. I've beaten the campaign, and I don't really wanna talk to my friends just yet.

Sonic Generations?

Sure. I havent even touched it since Katie brought it home..

So, I turn on the Xbox. Only right as I put the disc on the tray, lightening strikes! My luck. I'm out. Cold.

I awake in a strange, yet warm and comfortable bed. This feels good... I open my eyes to see a pink humanoid hedgehog sitting on the edge of the bed. She's kinda cute...for a dream...I blink a few times. She's still here. She's looking at me. Her face is inches away from mine. Out of the blue, I involuntarily scream. She jumps off the bed.

"I'm sorry!" she's visibly nervous.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"M-my name is Am-y Rose..." she says. She's very shaky, and she starts to blush. she's pretty cute for a freaky hedgehog. "Y-you were unconscious and I found you by a b-bush...you looked h-hurt and I thought you were cute so I brought you to my house to take c-care of you. I'm sorry!"

"It's okay...I think...now tell me where I am." I say. She looks like her feelings are hurt. "...please?"

She smiles and takes my hand, and guides me out of the room.

Thats chapter 1! Whether you like it or not, please review! The only thing I took from Hookemhorns12 was the scene where Chase was deciding for a video game...and its not exactly 'stealing', just two similar scenes.

Thanks!
