Chapter 1

"Mom, dad I'm leaving!"

The nineteen year old Emma Swan is not your regular girl next door. Unlike other girls her age, she loves sports. Especially soccer and dreams of becoming a professional soccer player one day. She works hard for her goals by studying sports and training three times a week "Alright have fun!" her adoptive mother says from the kitchen. Oh yeah and she's adopted by a lovely couple that love her dearly as if she were their own.

"I will thanks!" Emma's best friend Danielle or Dani as others call her, surprised her with tickets to a match of her favorite soccer team after having had a rough week. She heads outside to Dani who is waiting in the car to pick her up.

"Hey chica! How have you been?" says Dani as Emma gets in. "I've been counting the minutes and hours for this day so you decide the answer to that question" Emma says with a big smile. Dani laughs "Thought so. It's what you deserve after this stressful week"

Emma has been dealing with a lot of stuff in college, but has managed to survive and stay motivated until now. "Ugh don't remind me. I seriously was about to snap Gina's neck after her constant complaining during volleyball practice. She was just the cherry on top for this week" she says while rolling her eyes.

"Anyways..What's the news Dan. Anything special to tell me?" Dani looks over at her before starting the engine "Well except from my neighbor's complaint about my siblings running around and screaming like 'wild monkeys' Nope nothing special" Emma laughs "Doesn't she have anything better to do than knocking on your door every morning to tell you that?" Apparently not but oh well. You have to do something with your life right?"

Emma grins as she dreams away "Mhm." Dani looks over at her and shakes her head "You know daydreaming 24/7 over that..Julian, isn't doing something with your life Emma." Emma gasps dramatically "Excuse you Dani! First of all his name is Killian precious handsome man Jones and he makes everyone's day better so! Thinking of him is what I'll keep doing for the rest of my life"

Dani frowns and shakes her head grinning "Oh oh Emma..Should I be scared of your reaction then if I tell you I didn't get regular tickets but V.I.P tickets which is the reason I picked you up at this time" She says as if it's most normal thing in the world. Emma widens her eyes looking over at her best friend "What?! I swear to god Dani don't mess with me!" Dani smirks and continues driving "I'm not, it just means we're going to be at the teams training as well. That's all.." Emma gasps and slaps her friend's arm "Shut up you're joking!" Dani shrugs "Maybe, maybe not.."

Emma's cheeks hurt from how bright she's smiling "I'm gonna die oh my god. I hate but love you.." She hugs Dani very tight sideways "Wow wow okay! I'm driving. Let me go before I crash the car and you miss your chance of seeing your dream man sweating.." Emma lets go immediately and sits back straight, pressing her lips together to hide a smirk as she thinks of that sight. Dani looks over for a second and gapes at her "Hey! No dirty thoughts in my precious Fiat you hear me?!" Emma glares "I'm not a perv you weirdo..A girl..can dream okay?" Dani shakes her head chuckling "Sure, whatever you say Swan.."

Half an hour later Emma and Dani arrive at the arena where the soccer match will be held. Emma is fangirling on the inside as they walk towards the entry. Danielle notices and snorts as she shakes her head "Don't forget that you need to breathe honey.." Emma doesn't hear her as she's staring up at the arena. Dani slaps her arm to get her attention "Emma!" She looks up glaring at her "Hey! Let me take a moment okay?" Emma says as she goes back to her day dreaming.

Meanwhile inside the arena, the players are getting ready to start their training. Including Killian, one of the most successful and youngest soccer players from Canada. "Ready to add a new trophy to the collection?" David, one of the players and Killian's best buddy asks "Aye. Always am, you know that." Killian says with a grin. David pats him on the shoulder and smiles "That's what I want to hear" Killian nods and their coach calls them to start their training.

"And then he looks into your eyes and you'll be like wow is this heaven, because of his gorgeous blue eyes..oh those eyes. They could stop a world war and solv-"

"Emma!" Dani interrupts, standing in front of her.

"Do you have any other subjects to talk about or do I just have to keep listening to your daily rants over that Killian and his oh so beautiful eyes?" Emma scoffs "That's not the only thing I talk about.."

Dani gives her a look, making Emma roll her eyes "Okay fine I'll shut u-" Emma gasps as the field comes in sight and she can see the players—including Killian— train.

"Don't scream please! I'd like to keep my hearing for that Coldplay concert next month" Dani says before Emma can freak out. She nods "I-I'm calm I'm calm.." She let's out a breath "Dani, hold me I'm gonna die" she looks down at Killian "He's even prettier in real life.." she says amazed.

Dani looks at her as if she's crazy "He looks like an ant from up here. I think you should save your..admiration for when we're down in our seats" Emma looks at her friend narrowing her eyes "Wait, where exactly are we sitting then?"

Dani hands her the tickets. Emma looks through it and her eyes widen "Dani! That's so close!" Danielle smiles "Only the best for my favorite human being" She says with a grin. Emma smiles and hugs her tight "I really don't deserve this" "Stop saying that Ems. You deserve to be happy okay?" She nods "Okay.." she smiles and lets go of her. They both walk down to their seat, getting closer and closer to the field. Emma's heart pounding faster and faster with each step.

Killian is concentrating as his team and him are training. He can feel someone staring at him as he's protecting the goal with some of his team mates. Out of curiosity he looks up seeing a —in his opinion—beautiful blonde girl staring at him who quickly looks away as their eyes meet.

He smiles and keeps looking her way. Not realizing the arbitrator has blown on the whistle for the opposite team to take their shot until the ball collides with his crotch. He groans loud falling onto his knees "Bloody hell!"

David laughs and jogs over to him "A bit distracted huh?" Killian groans rolling his eyes as he stands up "Bugger off mate!" Their coach yells from the sideline "Jones what was that?! Eyes on the ball!" Killian sighs and goes back to focus on the game

As Emma is trying to hide her blush from her eye contact with Killian, Dani bursts out laughing "Oh! Did you see that?!" She slaps her knee continuing to laugh "His dick won't see the sunlight thanks to you!" Emma turns to look at her "What are you talking about? Who's.. dick?" Danielle gives Emma a look "What? I seriously don't know who you're talking about!"

"I'm talking about your oh so precious future husband you asshole!" Emma quirks an eyebrow "Uhm.. Chris Evans?" Dani looks at her confused "No! I'm talking about player number 10 down there" Emma blinks twice "Ten as in Killian Jones?" She nods "Oh.." Emma frowns "Wait but I didn't do anything! How can I possibly do something from up here?"

Danielle smirks "Well, you distracted him because of how pretty you are." Emma looks at her as if she's crazy "How? Because we had eye contact for 0.5 seconds?" "Mhm. He kept looking at you with those, 'gorgeous blue eyes' of his. Love at first sight is what Molly would say." Emma laughs "Oh Dani.. You're crazy. Not like I could ever date someone like him.." she looks down at her hands. Dani patting her knee "Never say never Emma.."

The training finishes after twenty minutes or so, some fans already starting to walk into the arena and finding their seats to support their favorite teams. The players have gone into their dressing rooms to get ready for the game and to get their usual pep talk from their coach.

Emma looks around a bit as she waits for the match to start "Shall we get some snacks before they start?" Dani asks "Yeah sure! Let's go before the nachos are gone." Danielle and Emma both get up and head to the bar to get some food and drinks "Dani, you mind if I go to the toilet real quick?" "No no I'll buy us something. You want the usual?" Emma nods "Alright!" Dani smiles and lets Emma go to the restrooms.

Emma goes to look for one as she walks through the crowd of fans, she accidentally ends up on the players floor and goes to the bathroom there. Finding it odd that there's no one in it. She shrugs it off and does her business.

In the mean time Killian decides to go to the restroom before the game starts. Once Emma is done she washes her hands and fixes her hair before going out to find Dani. At that same moment Killian walks out of the restrooms, Emma bumping into him as she is combing her hair with her fingers.

"Woah!" "Oof!" Emma collides with his chest and falls back onto the ground "You alright there love?" "Yeah yeah sorry I wasn't looking where I was going" Killian reaches out his hand for her to take. Emma takes his hand and gets up with his help "Thank y-" She looks up, her heart stopping for a split second as Killian is smiling right down at her.

She clears her throat trying to appear calm "A-am I.. somewhere I shouldn't be perhaps?" Killian chuckles "I'm afraid you are lass. This is the players area" Emma scolds herself mentally. "Oh.. that explains why there wasn't a line for the toilet" she chuckles nervously.

Killian grins as they keep staring at each other until Emma's phone starts buzzing and Killian realizes he has to get on the field "Ah shit! Sorry love, I have to go" Emma looks down at her phone seeing she has four missed calls from Danielle "Yeah me too.." she chuckles

"Uhm.. G-Good luck on the match. I hope you win" Emma says as calmly as she can. Killian nods with a grin "Thanks love" Emma blushes and smiles down at the ground, going back out to find Dani. Killian watches her leave totally mesmerized, but quickly remembers he's late. He runs back to where he came from and gets ready for the match.

Emma quickly goes back to Danielle who is impatiently waiting for her "Were you taking a shit? That took forever! Where the hell were y-.."

"Dani calm down! You won't believe what the heck just happened" Emma tells her best friend about what just happened, from the wrong bathroom situation to bumping into her favorite soccer player

"What?! That's awesome Emma!" "It's not! I totally embarrassed myself" Dani frowns "I'm sure you didn't. From what you told me, it doesn't seem like you have" She smiles and takes her back to their seats "Come on lets watch your man play yeah?" Emma chuckles and nods as they get back, right on time.

During the whole first part of the match Emma stays fanatic like she always is when it comes to sports, cheering for the Vancouver team and Killian obviously who sometimes here and there sends a smile her way. Danielle is just enjoying the happiness Emma shows and whatever is going on between her and 'number 10' as she says.

When it's half time, Dani decides to get them more drinks while Emma just stays there on her seat. Killian is standing at the sideline drinking some water, wiping his mouth with his shirt. Emma looks over at him a few times and David notices

"Hey Jones!" Killian looks up "What?" "I think I found your first fan" David says while nodding Emma's way. Killian rolls his eyes and looks over to where he's looking. Emma having looked away at that point. "How do you even know she is my fan?" David grins "She's been staring at you the whole time"

Killian smirks "Well I mean.. I am devilishly handsome you know. Are you getting jealous Nolan?" He grins as David slaps the back of his head "You don't have to be jealous my love. No one will take me away from you!" Killian says as they're joking around "Screw you Jones!" He blows David a kiss and warms up before they have to play again.

Emma is scrolling through her phone as she waits for Danielle to come back. What she doesn't know is that Dani arranged something for Emma that she'll most definitely love. Dani returns after ten minutes with some drinks and popcorn along with a creepy smile plastered on her face which makes Emma cringe.

"Take that grin off of your face. It's scary." Danielle wiggles her eyebrows at her which makes Emma question herself who she's friends with "What is wrong with you?" Dani smirks "Oh.. nothing" Emma narrows her eyes "You're up to something. I know you Danielle Garcia!"

She shrugs "I have nothing to hide" "Sure you don't." Emma rolls her eyes and looks back at the field as the match continues. Fifteen minutes into the second half Killian takes the ball and runs towards the goal, Emma cheering and clapping loud for her favorite player

"Whooo! Come on you can do it!" Dani grins and shakes her head muttering "Oh Ems.. You have no idea what's waiting for you" Indeed, Emma didn't know what was waiting for her after her favorite team won with 3-1, which meant that the game had ended.

"That was awesome!" Dani nods "Mhm it was nice to see." Emma smiles "Thank you for tonight Dan. I really enjoyed it" she says as they get up. "Who says this is the end of the night?" Dani says with a grin

"What else have you planned then? Should I text my parents or..?" Dani waves her off "No no! It won't take too long. Come on.." She grabs Emma's hand and takes her to the players area where Emma was earlier "Dani what are you doing? We aren't supposed to be here!" "But what if we are?" Dani nods at a security guard who came to pick them up "Are you Emma?" The tall man asks while looking at Emma. Emma nods, a bit timidly "Y-Yeah.."

"Come with me" She looks over at Danielle who is smirking and they both follow the man towards the player's lounge "Where are we going?" "You'll see" Says Dani as they enter the lounge. Emma's eyes widen as they get greeted by the team players.

Killian grinning up at her while David is teasing him.

"Oh my.. Dani! Did you do this?" "I might have arranged something" Emma smiles and hugs her best friend "Thank you thank you thank you!" Dani chuckles and hugs her back before pulling away and pushing her into the player's direction who say hi to her. Emma scratches behind her ear before waving at them and introducing herself.

They all spend some time talking, taking pictures and signing a jersey for Emma that she can take home as well. Once it's Killian's turn to sign it he grins, looking at her "So we meet again lass" Emma blushes slightly "Appears so.." She looks over at Danielle who's talking to David before looking back at Killian who's now looking at her without realizing.

She clears her troath snapping them both out of their day dream "So. Great match." she smiles sweetly "Aye, always is." "Right." she chuckles not really knowing what to say. Killian finishes signing her jersey, handing it over to her "Here you go love. You'd fit in our team now with that" He says with a grin.

Emma smiles "Well, I do hope I can one day" Killian cocks his head to the side "You into soccer, lass?" She nods "Hm, you don't hear that much from a girl nowadays" She grins "I know. I don't really look like the sporty type but believe me, I am" He smiles "That's nice. I hope you'll achieve your dreams, Emma"

She blushes a bit, never having imagined her name coming out of his mouth "Thank you" she plays with her hands "You know, you were actually the reason I wanted to play soccer." He smiles at her "Really? How come?" She shrugs "I guess because I've dreamt of becoming a professional soccer player since I was little and you were and are quite successful at a young age" he grins squeezing her shoulder "I'm sure you'll succeed love. If you work hard enough, everything is possible"

She smiles bright "I hope training three times a week is enough?" "That's a start yeah" he says with a sweet smile. He suddenly gets an idea and smirks, making Emma tilt her head looking a bit confused "How would you feel, if I said you could train with the team some day?" Emma's eyes widen "Really?" he nods smiling as Emma clasps a hand over her mouth "That would be a dream!"

He chuckles "Aye, sometimes does feel like one" She is screaming inwardly, not believing this is really happening. Danielle looks over at Emma as she can feel her excitement, excusing herself to David. She walks over to the duo "What's up Swan?" Killian raises his eyebrow at the nickname "Uh.. I may or may not have gotten an offer to train with the team?"

He smirks looking over at the two girls "Emma that's awesome!" Dani looks over at Killian "She is an amazing player. You'd have to be careful that you don't lose from her" Dani says with a grin on her face "Oh hush you." Emma says with a blush on her cheeks.

Killian grins "I'd love to see that happening." Danielle smirks at Emma who is trying to contain herself. "O-oh, I wouldn't be too worried" she chuckles nervously "I'm not that good."

"Nonsense! You beat that Oliver's ass last week at school. And he is, well aggressive with sports." Emma looks at her, remembering what she's talking about. "That was just luck." Dani rolls her eyes "Sure it was. Anyways, congrats Emma!" She smiles and nods a thank you.

Killian clears his troath "So, Swan. I take it you're joining us soon then for the training?" Emma nods, blushing. "Yeah. I'll be there" He smiles. "Good." Emma grins "Good."

After they've set the day and time for the training Emma can join, the girls say their goodbyes to the team and head back home. Danielle drops Emma off at her house and drives herself home.

Emma is super grateful for today. She can't stop thinking of what happened today as she lays in her bed, staring up at the posters of her idol. Of Killian. It felt like a dream. A wonderful dream that she would never want to be woken from.
