I don't own Galactik Football.

Different Yet Same

Chapter Three

~The Challenge~

"Training went well" Momo said to her dad, "They have a lot more to go, but they have what it takes"

"Mhm" Aarch agreed and turned to Clamp and her "But I'm afraid we won't have enough time, soon we will have a friendly match with Wambas" He said.

Momo, Clamp and Aarch stayed behind to talk about their next training and what should they do for the upcoming match with Wambas , and some other stuff, it was actually like a meeting.

"Did you tell them about it yet?" Momo aksed.

"No not yet, I will tell them later before the interview"

"All right then, well I'm gonna go to kitchen and see what they're up to" She said and waved leaving Aarch and Clamp to talk and plan strategies for their upcoming match.

"Why so glum Micro Ice?" Momo asked as she walked into the kitchen they all shared since everyone moved in, she noticed Tia, Tran and Ahito all sitting at the table "Hi guys" She said with a smile and a little wave which they all returned.

"I didn't think this was going to be so hard, getting up in the morning is awful and then training and I thought that massage would actually help but it only made me feel worse" He said and the others laughed.

"Well you didn't think it would be easy did you? I mean you are training to become professional players, the ones capable of winning the cup" She said with a smile.

"Yeah Micro Ice, maybe this wasn't meant for you, I mean as Momo said we are training to become capable of winning, but I think you are only capable of losing" Sined said as he walked in and Momo scowled.

"I don't remember asking for your opinion" Momo shot back at him before Micro Ice could say anything.

"And yet I don't remember you being an actual part of the team because you don't play, so I don't really know what you are doing here" Sined shot right back.

"I don't remember the part where it said that you had to play in order to be on the team" Momo said mimicking his voice while the others laughed. Sined got angry and took a step towards her but suddenly Ahito was right in front of her with Tran next to him their backs turned to her.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you" D'Jock said with a smirk as he walked in.

"Whatever" Sined snarled and walked out of the kitchen and everyone looked at each other all silent before they burst out laughing.

"Wow, I knew he wasn't the best person but he was straight out mean, thanks guys" She said to Ahito and Tran with a grateful smile.

"No problem" Ahito and Tran said at the same time.

"Oh as I was saying before all of this, Micro Ice all of this will pay off I just know it, all of you have great potential really, you wouldn't be here if it was any different" Momo told them and patted Micro Ice on his shoulder softly before walking out and was soon followed by Tia.

"Do you think she's right?" Micro Ice asked his friedns.

"I think she is, but we have a lot to train before that" Tran said.

"I think we will win the cup, if not this year, the next cup is ours" D'Jock added.

"Let's hope you guys are right" Micro Ice said.

"But for now let's get ready for the interview" D'jock suggested.

"Oh I forgot about that, will be famous, and all of the cute girls will love me and my good looks" Micro Ice said daydreaming.

"Do you guys think we should leave him alone to day dream?" Ahito asked quietly and both Tran and D'Jock nodded as they got up from the table and left their friend to his dreams.

Tia was walking back from talking to Aarch when she saw Momo getting ready to go out, "You are not staying for the interview?" She wondered.

"No, my dad doesn't like it, and neither do I, I mean I'm sure I can't avoid them forever but as long as I can good" Momo said with a small laughed and Tia joined her.

"I wish I could do that, I like staying behind the camera rather than being in front of it" Tia admitted.

"Same" Momo agreed, "Well I have to head out, good luck I'll be watching and I'm sure all of you will do great" She said giving the girl thumbs up and Tia smiled back at her and did a little wave.

Momo also passed Micro Ice on her way out "Not staying Momo?" He asked.

"Nope, good luck though I'll see you later" She said with a wave and quickly made her way avoiding anyone else who might ask her why isn't she staying.

Momo and Rocket were sitting next to each other watching the interview while she helped him with some bouquets he was currently making. They were enjoying small talk still getting to know each other, they both liked many same things.

Momo was currently laughing at some joke Rocket said but she stopped when she saw Norata coming in and he didn't looked happy.

"Rocket I thought I told you no, and that I didn't want you watching stuff like this why do you keep hurting yourself, oh hello Momo" He said to her sounding less angry as he turned off the tv.

"I'm not hurting myself!" Rocket shouted "You are the one who is hurting me!" He yelled and stomped out as Norata sighed watching him leave.

"Hello uncle" Momo said with a small smile as she put the finishing touches on her bouquet.

Norata looked at what Momo was doing and smiled "You should keep that one" He said to her and she looked up at him with a smile.

"Really?" She asked happily and he nodded, Momo stood up and hugged him for a brief moment and Norata returned it.

"Uncle" Momo started with a sigh, knowing this probably wasn't the best idea but continued anyway "I know it's none of my concern, and that I really shouldn't meddle, but I hope you will reconsider allowing Rocket to join the team, I saw him play and he is amazing uncle, he belongs on the team. Please don't be angry with him, just think about it, that's all I'm asking" She said softly before saying goodbye and heading out to talk a walk for an hour or so before going back.

Back inside Norata thought about her words as he turned on the tv and watched the interview, he also thought about when the explosion happened, and he just didn't want to see his son hurt like he was, and he didn't understand why no one else wanted to see that.

The walk back was uneventful, it was getting chilly outside and she was happy she was about 15 minutes away from reaching her new home, but before she could a figure blocked her way. She looked up and saw Sined, 'Oh great' she thought with a frown "What do you want Sined?" She asked as she tried to get pass him but he blocked her once again.

"Apology"

"Apology for what, you insulted my friend first"

"And?" He asked rudely.

"And?!" Momo almost yelled "There is no and Sined, I'm not apologizing so if you will excuse me I would like to go back" She said and once again tried to pass him but once again she was stopped.

"Oh come on sweetheart don't be like that" Sined said as grabbed her hand and tugged her making her drop her bouquet.

"No" She whispered as it fell and broke apart, "I've had enough of you Sined" she yelled in his face.

Sined got angrier and got in her face "Oh really and what are you going to do about it, tell your little friends maybe, they won't watch over you forever sweetheart" He said in a low tone as she tried to break free.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that" Momo suddenly heard someone say when she looked behind him she saw Tia and Ahito approaching them, Micro Ice not far behind it appears they went on a walk.

Sined scowled at them and looked at her "Well well saved by your friends again"

"You are happy it was them" Momo suddenly said.

"And why do you say that sweetheart?" Sined wondered.

"Because it could have been my dad" She said with a small smile.

"And as I remember Aarch really doesn't like when someone messes with his daughter" Micro Ice added and Sined looked at him first than back at Momo in shock before pushing her away with a growl before he walked away to where ever he was going in the first place.

Momo thankfully kept her balance but knelt down to pick up the fallen flowers before she was joined by others who helped her "Thanks guys, again" She said shyly, all of this was new to her, she didn't have many friends to begin with, let alone someone her age and it was different.

"You are welcome" Tia said with a smile, "He is really an ass" Tia said and they all laughed which got her confused "What it's true"

"Yeah, but I didn't think it will come from you" Momo said truthfully, she didn't spend much time with Tia but from what she knew Tia was quiet and timid girl, and she liked her none the less.

"Now let's go before you freeze to death" Micro Ice said and took her flowers as he carried them and Momo smiled when she felt something warm fall over her shoulders she looked up and saw Ahito smiling down at her.

"Thanks but you didn't have to, dad will kill me if I get any of you sick before the big match" She said and tried to take of Ahito's jacket but he stopped her.

"I'm not cold anyways, it's okay really" He said to her and she gave him a shy smile which he returned and Momo took Tia's outstretched hand who helped her stand up.

"Wait what are you three doing out anyway" Momo wondered, she's not surprised seeing Micro Ice outside, but seeing him with Tia was something she didn't expect.

"Well I saw Tia go out and followed her because I wanted to make sure she didn't get lost" Micro Ice said and after he saw the look Momo gave him which said 'Yeah sure, now tell the truth' he sighed and continued "And I wanted to see if I can find something out about her, since she didn't really talk to anyone"

"And after he was discovered we started to talk and saw Ahito sleeping outside so we decided to wake him up and ask if he wanted to join us, he did and couple of minutes later we found you and the rest is history" Tia said adding after Micro Ice.

Momo smiled at them softly as they started to make their way back, they talked and joked, getting to know each other. What Momo learned was that Tia loved recording things with her camera, and that her parents were important people, Micro Ice loved jokes, and he was a true friend, he also loved adventure. And Ahito, he was complete opposite of Momo he had troubles with staying awake, she also learned that he was kind and the younger twin, what she also discovered was that he loved football and Momo also had to notice how cute he was in certain situations.

When they got back Momo gave Ahito his jacket back and thanked him, it really helped her not freezing since she still wasn't used to the temperature here. They all parted their ways and Tia teased Momo on their way back to which Momo just blushed and made Tia laugh. Eventually the two of them said goodbye and Momo found herself in her room alone she sighed and went to get changed to her pajamas and get ready for bed.

As soon as her head hit the pillow her computer started beeping and Momo groaned and got up to check what was going on. She was confused when she saw that someone had started up the holotrainer and she turned on the camera to see who it was to her surprised it was her cousin Rocket. She turned off her computer and hoped her dad will do the right thing.

The next morning Aarch split the team into two to play against each other, there were D'Jock,Tia, Micro Ice and Ahito on one side, and Mei, Tran and Sined. As far as Momo could see it started off good, their energy was on good level.

Everything went wrong until she saw Micro Ice falling and her dad yelling 'Foul' at Sined, she sighed in relief when she saw that nothing was wrong with Micro Ice and that his leg was okay, Tia helped him up quickly and they waited for the free kick.

D'Jock did the free kick and even if he hit the ball hard it still missed which her dad could not help but point out to which Clamp pointed out that they needed a passer and Momo agreed and she knew who.

That evening they were all the café catching a break and celebrating because they found out that their team was officially recognized by the league. The boys jumped and cheered and Momo and Tia smiled and laughed together when the Tran, Ahito, D'Jock and soon Micro Ice joined them.

D'Jock and Micro Ice sat on right side of Tia, next to her was Momo, and then finally Ahito and Tran, they were happy when D'Jock spoke first "What do you say girls are you joining us on our journey to hold the cup?" He wondered with a grin and Tia and Momo looked at each other.

"Count us In" They both said at the same time and the boys cheered happily, they didn't know about all the troubles they would have to face, enemies or friends they would make but for now they were happy and that was all that mattered to Momo.

She felt a light weight on her left shoulder and when she looked she saw Ahito slightly snoring and she giggled and just let him be while she enjoyed her conversation with Tia, they were exchanging their stories about where have they all been and what have they seen.

That night they all went home together, and Ahito once again gave Momo his jacket even after her many protests, and Tran handed his to Tia, and when they both asked why the boys shrugged with a grin and sped up to catch up with others to which Tia and Momo laughed.
