Green Light
The Japanese stadium was most definitely different from the Italian stadiums he used to play in. Aoi Shingo held the soccer ball tightly in his hands as he gazed around in awe. Somehow, it seemed so much bigger than he had imagined. He felt very small, being here, but he actually did not mind this. He was trembling - from excitement.
The sound of the crowd was a mere rumble in his ears. Aoi took a deep breath. Playing for the All Japan Youth team, a national team, in a stadium in his homeland... it was like a dream come true. He was really here.
Aoi had not been back in Japan for two years. The moment he had arrived back in his homeland, he had dashed off to the soccer stadium, not even stopping by to greet his family first. Ah, they probably would understand, they knew how much soccer meant to him. He wondered if they were watching this important match; his debut on the Japanese national youth team.
His eyes flickered to one older boy standing on the field, watching him. Aoi's face broke into a wide grin, as a new thought registered his already-buzzing mind. He was standing on the same field as Tsubasa Oozora, as a team mate! Uncertainties be damned, this really was a dream come true!
"Sorry for being late, everyone!" he shouted. "Aoi Shingo is here now!"
