A Dragon's Embrace

Chapter Three: The Goalies

*****

A/N: If you guys have any ideas please tell me and also please review, I don't want to beg but the reason I post is to get feed back from people I don't know/don't know me. I don't care what they say, but try to keep flamers to a minimum.

REVIEWERS:

Althea- Thanks so much for your impute! Read what I put at the bottom of the chappie for the rest of my response.

Elvish Fairy- Ha! That thought totally slipped my mind, I never thought of that! Here is one to think about…Draco in tight, goalie pants. (Long pants that have padding on the hips, knees, thighs, and sometimes other places.)

Hothunnies16-I am glad you like it!

Gaiamoore13- Thanks for the POV impute…I wasn't too sure about it. Also if you can't figure out how to post you can email me and I would be glad to help. (volleyball_setter_13@hotmail.com)

HURRY!- HERE IT IS! HERE IT IS!!! I had it typed up last night, but I think the site was down or something…*Starts to think*…Hummm…

Orlando Bloom Is So Mine-I am tying to get longer chappies, but like I said at the bottom of this chappie, these first few are all basically introductions. But they WILL get longer! I'll email you about the beta thing.

Bee3- Thanks for reviewing. Here is the next chappie!

Orlando Bloom Is So Mine- Here it is!!! LOL.

"Oh my god! Mia, who was the hunk?" Emma squealed in Mia's ear as the two walked into the cabin.

Mia sighed, knowing that she was going to be interrogated by the small teenager. "He said people call him Dragon when he plays soccer, so there is your answer," she sighed again and hoped that would be the end of it.

"Mia!"

No suck luck. "What?"

"Don't you think that he was hot?"

"Well…"

"Mia you better give me an answer of I will just beat it out of you!"

"Fine, like you could anyway. Okay, I think he is kinda hot, but I am more interested in his skills with balls, soccer balls that is and not-," she blushed. "Never mind I think I will shut up now," she said desperately trying to keep a straight face and not to fall into a fit of giggles.

There was a few seconds of silence, and then Emma exploded in to laughter. "Oh, girl that was your best joke yet!"

"I know, I know. Come on and calm down. We need to help the other campers that will be staying in here to put their stuff away."

Emma looked around and saw three other girls; all looking slightly confused, standing in front of the two friends. "Oh, yeah. Sorry."

Mia took control of the situation, "Hi, you gals can call me Mia. I will be your cabin leader, so if you have any questions you can ask me or the shrimp next to me." While she said this she pointed over to Emma.

"Mia! You are only two inches taller then me, so I wouldn't be talking if I were you." Then she turned to everyone else and continued, "Hello people. I am Emma, and you all can ask me any questions about this place. And a warning now, Mia and me will be at each other's necks all summer, so you'll either get used to it or go crazy."

There was a round of laughter and hellos before the girls began to introduce themselves.

A tall redhead was the first to speak. "Hi. I'm Amy, umm…I'm 16 and I play defense," she said.

"I'm Christina, I'm a forward, and I am 15," said a petite blonde in a soft voice.

"And I am Molly, I am 15, and play forward, too," the last person, who had long, brown hair and was a little taller then Mia, finished.

"That's great guys, I play goalie, forward, or wing, and Emma plays wing, too," supplied Mia in a kind tone. She then continued, "Now, do any of you need any help settling in or have any questions?"

Christina raised her hand.

"Yes?"

"I was wondering, what the rules about leaving the camp are, and also about lake time?" she asked.

"Well as for lake time, we will be able to go anytime that you aren't supposed to be some place else like a game or something. Just tell me, Emma, or another councilor and take someone with you. Also you can't be there past curfew which is at midnight for you guys. Now I believe that we will get scheduled time away from camp to go to town and stuff, but sometimes a nice person like me will let you go if he/she can tag along," Mia finished with a wink.

After the girls finished giggling, they headed out to the soccer field because it was still free time.

"Mia!" Yelled Nick as he caught sight of her and the four other girls.

"What?" She answered, seeing that Nick also brought his cabin down to the field.

"Get in the goal for some warm up shots, then we can play for a little bit!" Still being a far distance apart, they were both still yelling.

"Fine, but we are mixing teams later."

"'Kay."

Mia grabbed her goalie gloves and checked to make sure her knee brace was in the right place.

During a soccer game one summer, she was kicked under the kneecap, causing it to shift upwards and strain the tendons below her knee. So now, she had to wear a knee brace when she played soccer. Luckily she could just wear a neoprene, and not have to bother with a big, hard, cumbersome one.

"Come on Mia! Get your fine butt down here," Nick spurred on, trying to get Mia to show off her speed with a run across the field to him.

"Nick, watch out or I will be forced to kick your not so fine butt!" She laughed out at him as everyone that heard that laughed.

*Dragon's POV*

Dragon felt jealous as the rest of the guys commented on Mia's butt. 'Man! I wish I could comment but if I did I have a feeling Mia wouldn't appreciate that. I hope she still isn't pissed off about the question thing.'

Then after watching her stretch out her arms and legs, he snapped out of his little dreamland. He grabbed his own goalie gear and started to make his way over to Nick. As he approached him Dragon called out, "Hey! Nick!"

"Yeah?" He answered.

"Mia doesn't have to be goalie, I'll play it."

"Okay, we will have to ask her. Sometimes she wants to play, and others times she doesn't."

"Okay," Dragon agreed because he thought that no one would argue with him being goalie. Little did he know…

*Mia's POV*

As Mia warmed up in the goal, she noticed Nick and the new kid, what's his name? Oh yeah, Dragon, walk towards her.

"Hey Mia, do you want to play goalie today?"

"Yeah, I do, why you ask?"

Nick groaned inwardly. 'Crap, just my luck, the day that the new kid wants to be keeper, so does Mia as well! God! And I wanted to see this guy in action. Damn it! And I know that she is going to be difficult and stubborn!' Stopping his thoughts, Nick sighed and answered Mia, "Dragon has offered to be goalie."

Mia had a surprised look on her face that she quickly covered before saying in a very prim and polite tone of voice, "Thank you for the offer, but I have no problems being goalie."

Dragon insisted with, " Really, please. I really would enjoy it, and I want to."

"Well how about this. I will be goalie during the game and you can do training drills and stuff," Mia replied absentmindedly.

Dragon inwardly flinched. Training drills were normally pretty easy to block and they lacked the true adrenaline rush the fierce desire to protect the goal that a game had. In short, they were normally used for a goalie that didn't get very much game time to work on his or her skills.

"No, I think I would be better during the game," Dragon snapped out, not meaning it to come out so rude.

"Well, if you truly think that," Mia smirked evilly, sure of her talents in the goal. "There is one think we can do then."

"What?" asked Draco.

Mia smirked even wider. "A shoot off…with penalty kicks.
