Whenever I start typing up the Birthday Special! I always remember that I have to write another chapter before I can write the Birthday Special! I also kept spelling bus as bush or buss. Also I don't know why but I pictured the Girl's Regular Soccer Team to be aggressive…I don't know why though…but Hoshi needs to get hurt for some events in the future! I also realized, in the middle of writing this, that I was short two players. So here's some info on the two 'new' players. I'm so sorry.

[Let's pretend both where on vacation and came back today.]


One word can describe how I feel right now and that word is…Wow. Who knew Ryoma and I had so much in common? We both liked the same foods. The same animal. The same spot at school. The same music [I'm opened minded to anything but Country and Rap]. The same hobby [trying out hot spring bath salts]. He was only a day older than me [yes I was born on Christmas]. We both liked Chemistry [the class]. And more.

"So…tell me why you thought I wouldn't be your match again." Ryoma asked again as I smiled sheepishly.

"Well…you know the first question right? Do you like Ryoma Echizen?" I asked as he nodded his head. "I wrote a no in that space." I said as he blinked.

"And why is that?" he asked as I shrugged.

"I was sorta mad at you that day…and…I don't know…I didn't know you that well and you seemed like a cocky show-off boy with a big ego." I said as I glanced at him. "But now that I know you better…your actually a pretty good guy. Also I thought that since I hated tennis and tennis was practically your life that, that was a big turn off." I finished with a shrug of my shoulder. "Wanna be friends?" I asked suddenly with a grin as Ryoma looked a little taken back.

"Sure." he said as I grinned.


This was the start of a great friendship that unknown to the two would turn into a blossoming relationship…but shh! Don't tell them! Sorry if it sounds sorta…I don't know…I just don't think Ryoma would be-friend that easily but…it's my story so…boo.


"OKAY! WE'RE ALL HERE NOW LET'S GET GOING!" Zora shouted as we boarded the bus to the Tokyo Soccer Fields where the Tournament was being held.

I tapped my cleat against the floor of the bus to get off some dirt that was stuck on the bottom of my cleats. I stifled a yawn as I closed my eyes for a quick nap. I was over Ryoma's house yesterday working on our Japanese Project [I don't get why it's about a book written by a English Author and we're doing it in Japanese Class] and English. His Otou-San remarked how it was great that Ryoma finally got a girlfriend to spend time with and it wasn't till half way through Ryoma tutoring me that I realized that Ryoma's Otou-San was referring to me as Ryoma's girlfriend. In response to my sudden outburst Ryoma let out a small chuckle while I just chuckled with him as my cheeks turned pink a bit. I was always more relaxed around Ryoma, if that had happened to me with anyone else I would've freaked out a bit. His scent of Grape Ponta was also relaxing to me. He also has a very cute cat named Karupin that tried to follow me out of the house when I left. I also had dinner over his house and by the time I got back my Okaa-San had interrogated me on what happened and my Otou-San said something about his little girl growing up and that he was getting old while my Oji-Chan chuckled. Aniki just went in his room. And I spent all night…thinking…yeah, so I didn't get a good night sleep.

"We're here!" Hikasa shouted happily as I jumped a bit.

Already? We all exited the bus and signed in. We then walked to our designated field and saw the Hyoutei team stretching. Their uniform was a dark grey soccer jersey with a single white stripe near the sleeve of the jersey, black soccer shorts, black soccer socks and black and white cleats. Most of the girls on the team had short hair and some had scars on their faces. We placed our stuff down near the bench and walked on our side of the field.

"Stretch out thoroughly and then two laps around the field." Temari instructed as we did what was asked for.

After we did what was told Temari and Aki went to the refs to see who would get the ball first and what side of the field we would get. Turns out Hyoutei gets the ball and we get the side that is facing the sun. it was good planning since the sun wasn't that high up as it would be later on in the game. We then got into our positions. I was Center Forward with Kioko and Emiko as my other forwards. Temari, Miso and Aki where our Mid-Fielders, while Maki, Zora and Nunnally where on defense as Haruhi stood in goal. The ref blew his whistle as Hyoutei started to dribble forward.


[FF]

It was the last quarter with about six minutes left and it was a tie. Hyoutei was getting more aggressive and one of them tried to elbow Miso in the head. She didn't even try to make it look like an accident and when the ref called a fowl she tried to attack the ref. That was a red card right there. Everyone had been tackled, tripped or shoved by Hyoutei. It was like they where fighting instead of playing soccer. I had managed to steal the ball from a Hyoutei player and managed to make a break through to the net. One of the defenders [a big and muscular girl *shudders*] was hot on my tail as I sprinted towards the goal. I was outside the 18 [18 yard point from the goal] when she started to gain speed. I quickly made the shoot into the top right corner of the goal and once I did the defender that was chasing me had tackled me to the ground. The ball went in and Seigaku was now in a one point lead but I think I landed wrong since I heard a big crack and pain shot through my left arm. I bit my lip to hold back a scream as I felt my eyes getting wet. I took a sharp breath and slowly tried to get up. I think everyone else heard the crack because the ref, Temari, Aki and Maki ran towards me.

"Hoshi don't move!" Temari ordered as I obeyed.

Temari kneeled in front of me and slowly brought me up to see that my left forearm was bent a bit…HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?! I THOUGHT YOUR FOREARM WASN'T SUPPOSE TO BEND!

"Owe!" I shouted as she gingerly touched my arm.

"Oh what to do? What to do?!" Maki shouted as she frantically ran in circles.

"HIKASA! AYAME! GET ON THE FIELD! Maki take Hoshi to the hospital." Temari shouted as both girls got up from the bench and ran to take Maki and my spots as Maki helped me up and lead me to the hospital.

I heard the audience applauded as the players got up from their kneeling position in the field.


[Hospital]

Screams of pain filled the white halls of the hospital, sending little children to hide behind their mother's legs and other patients to look like they've just seen a ghost. Those screams of pain came from room 173. Where I sat on the check up bed while the doctor tried to bend/snap my broken bone back in place.

"AHH!" I shouted as pain shot through my arm as the doctor finally made my arm straight.

I sniffled a bit as a few tears ran down my eyes. I hiccupped.

"Now for the cast." he said as he started to get the supplies for the cast as I whimpered and gingerly held my hand. "Let me see you arm." he said as I pouted and gave him scared glance causing him to chuckle. "I won't hurt you." he chuckled as I showed him my arm and hiccupped.

He carefully put on the cast [I forgot how they put on a cast] and soon he was done.

"What color cover do you want?" he asked as I pondered this.

"Grey? Or maybe white. Whatever is easier. Wait…can we go with white?" I asked as he nodded his head and put on a second coat of…cast mache.

He then handed me a white sling which I put over my shoulder and placed my left forearm in.

"You'll have to wear a cast for 6 weeks max. Maybe less if your body heals fast enough. Come for another appointment in 2 weeks." the doctor said as he wrote something on a card and handed it to my mother. "No more soccer till I say so. You can attend your soccer practice but only to watch. As for your running. Don't run till I give you to ok. Now your left handed. You want me to write a note to your teacher saying you'll need help taking notes and writing in class?" the doctor asked as I shook my head.

"I'll learn to write with my right hand." I told the doctor as my mother shook her head and asked for the doctor to write the note.

He shook his head and chuckled at my stubbornness and independence as he wrote down the note.

"Kids."


[After School 4:30pm]

"Aniki!" I waved to my brother with my right hand as I ran towards the tennis courts.

I was still wearing my soccer uniform. Turns out we won thanks to that goal I made.

"NYA~! HOSHI! YOUR ARM!" I heard Eiji scream as all the Regulars looked at my injured arm…especially Aniki.

"What happened?" he asked as he inspected my arm.

"A girl from Hyoutei tackled me down after my last goal." I explained as I shuddered. "I hate doctors." I muttered remembering the pain of trying to snap the bone back in place.

"99% chance someone will ask if she's ok. 11% chance that Ryoma will ask if she's ok." Inui said randomly as Ryoma came towards the little circle the Regulars made around me.

"Hoshi are you ok?" Ryoma asked causing all the Regulars [save for Aniki, and Fuji] to gasp in surprise at the super-rookie's sudden concern.

"Yeah…just a broken bone." I answered as a car beeping was heard. "Ah Aniki we have to go. Ja ne." I said to the Regulars as I turned to leave…only to slip on a tennis ball. "Eep!" I shouted as Ryoma caught me before I feel and hurt myself anymore. "Arigato Ryoma." I thanked as Ryoma nodded while Aniki and I went towards our Okaa-San in the car.

I whimpered a little since the sudden movement sent pain shooting through my arm. Tennis isn't my thing.
