On the way over to the soccer field, Crystal, who was in the
passenger's seat, could tell that I was nerves about something. "Don't
worry. You will do fine. You've been playing soccer ever since you were
four. I have no doubt that you will lead our school into victory."
"It's not that." I said as I glanced at her and then turned back to the road.
"Oh. Your worried that your dream will come true." She said with a smile as she chewed a wad of gum.
"Well, yeah. I mean what if Wolverine does trash the game or if Scarlet Which uses her power of the Hex to rip the ball to shreds or what if..."
"What if the sky turns to fire and your nose falls off? (Sorry. I couldn't help it! That line is from Phocohontas if you don't know that all ready.) It was just a silly dream."
"Yeah but what if these dreams are not just dreams but visions? I did write about that once."
"Calm down. Nothing is going to happen. It was all just a dream. The X-men are fictional characters living in a fictional world. It's all in your head. Just relax and you'll be fine."
"I guess your right. Oh look we're here. Time to kick some Red Eagle butt." I said as we got out of the pick up tuck. "You said it!"
I went over to my team and found that Alex, Sydney, Caitlin, Allison, Maria, Jessica, Ashley and Beth where all ready practicing. Sydney saw me and came up to me.
"Hey, girl." She said, "What's up?"
"Nothing. We need two more people to play and four more people to play with subs."
"Don't worry Rach they'll be here." Finally after ten minutes of practicing and waiting Lindsey, Liz Renae and Tina arrived.
We went on to the field. The ref. called the captains over to the center of the field. Brittany from the Red Eagle's called the coin in the air. She said heads but it landed on tails. So the Blue Angels got to kick off first and i knew the two people who were best at kick offs. They were Ashely and Maria. The ref. blew the whisle and Ashley ran to the ball but jumped over it and kicked it to Maria. Ashely, Alex, Caitlin and I ran to the goal. Maria passed it to Caitlin, who passed it to Alex who scored! One to Zero.
Red Eagle's kicked off and they did almost the exact same play and scored! How could we not be prepared for our own play? One to one. Before I knew it the score was five to three. I looked over at Chrystal and saw that she was on the bench. I ran over to the sidelines.
"Chrystal, do you know what the score is?"
"Yeah, it's five to three. Our favor. Why?"
"Because that's the same score it was in my dream!"
"Rachel, stop chit-chatting and play some ball!" Chrystal said. I ran back to my position just in time to kick the ball to the goal. The ball never made it to the goal. In mid-flight the ball froze and fell to the ground. When it hit the ground it shattered. As soon as it did, I looked at the person who froze it and he at me. His body was ice and he wore a blue 'swimsuit'. "Rachel, we need your help." He said and then vanished. Great! Now, Iceman was trashing my soccer game.
All of a sudden I too began to vanish. I saw Chrystal stand to her feet with her hands over her mouth and that was the last thing I saw on the soccer field. I reappeared in the Xavier Institute. To be more supcifinc in the briefing room. I looked down and saw that my clothes had changed. I was no longer wearing my blue and white soccer uniform but I now wore a black one-piece suit with matching black boots. The straps were thin and tied around my neck. On my right arm was a green vine tattoo. I pulled my hair around where I could see it and sure enough my brown hair was longer and it had blue strikes. I had become Black Fox!
