Newark Liberty International Airport;

All USWNT players were welcomed home by the press and the leadership of USSF. 'We Are The Champion' are played to celebrate their victory in the World Cup.

"The men's team are not here?" asked Alex.

"I don't think so. They might already in the hotel right now" replied Jill.

"I thought that they will be here to welcome us back home though" said Alex.

"You just miss your little brother, aren't you?" asked Carli.

"Of course I am. It takes 20 years to bond with him despite he's my legitimate brother" replied Alex.

Then, the mens team came with their Gold Cup trophy but Ryan was not there.

"Hey, guys. Great to see you, champ" said Pinoe.

"Great to see you too, champ" replied Bradley.

"Where's Ryan?" asked Alex.

"Oh, he can't join us right now. His agent called this morning and wants them to meet ASAP. So, he's at one the restaurant in the airport. He gets to us once he's done discussing with his agent" replied Pulisic.

"Got a call from his agent after few days being part of Gold Cup champions? That is crazy" said Tobin.

"Well, he won't be in Brazil to debut as a pro right after graduated from high school if he's not a crazy guy, right?" asked Cannon.

"Exactly" said Mal.

"You ain't a Morgan if you're not crazy" said Julie.

"Somehow, I feel proud and pissed off at the same time on that statement" said Alex. The rest just laughed.

Meanwhile;

"So, it's AC Milan, Chelsea, DC United, Lyon, Milwall, Schalke 04 and Wolverhampton Wanderers that offering me contract, huh" said Ryan.

"Yeah" replied his agent, Matt.

"Never expecting that much to be honest" said Ryan.

"Well, your performance in both club and national team are great, so here we are. Do you want to decide now or you want to think first?" asked Matt.

"I would like to think about it first" replied Ryan.

"Very well, then. Call me when you've made decision" said Matt. Ryan nodded.

Later on;

Ryan walked to the arrival hall and saw Alex is there Christen and Tobin. Ryan walked behind her and gave signal to Christen and Tobin to keep quiet. He then approached them before hugs Alex from behind.

"Hi, sis" said Ryan.

"Ryan! You're lucky I didn't punch you" said Alex. Ryan chuckled. He then pecked a kiss on Alex's cheek before let her go. Alex then turned around and hugged Ryan.

"You missed me, aren't you?" asked Ryan.

"Of course I do. And don't act like you didn't miss me" said Alex before let Ryan go.

"Of course I do. Don't tell anyone, but you're my favourite captain" said Ryan. Alex giggled.

"RYAN ALEXANDER MORGAN!" Ryan turned around and saw Tierna walked to him before jumped to Ryan. Ryan catched her with a hug.

"Yes, unofficial twin. I missed you too" said Ryan.

"Good. If you don't, I'll knock your head" said Tierna before she let Ryan go.

"Ehem" said Alex.

"You know my protective sister is here, right?" asked Ryan.

"Yeah" said Tierna.

"Good. But, both of you are like inseparable twins. So, as long as you didn't kill each other, I'm fine with that" said Alex. Ryan and Tierna just laughed.

"Okay, everybody. Let's go to the hotel where we're staying and have a party tonight" said Berhalter. Then, all of them walked away. Then, suddenly, Ryan felt someone jumped on his back.

"Do you really think you can run away, Ryan?" asked Mal.

"Not even trying, Mal" said Ryan.

"Good. Now, walk" said Mal.

"Don't blame me if people said that we're dating" replied Ryan. Mal blushed.

"Whatever. Now, just walk" said Mal.

"Fine, fine" said Ryan before walked away.

"What is this feeling?" said inner Ryan.

"Hmm, interesting" said Alex.

"Well, you still approved if they both ended up together, right?" asked Carli.

"Of course I am. Aren't they look cute together?" asked Alex.

"As his unofficial twin, I agreed with you" said Tierna.

"But, they're not official just yet, right?" asked Kelley.

"Yeah. Mal afraid Ryan will rejected her" replied Lindsey.

"While Ryan is afraid that he'll break anyone's heart if he ever get into relationship" said Alex.

"He's grown up as a good boy, huh. Despite his sad childhood" said Tobin.

"Yeah. He's a tough boy" replied Alex.

Later on;

Ryan, Cannon, McKennie, and Pulisic are playing cards at Ryan and Pulisic's room.

"So, Ryan. How many offers did you get for now?" asked McKennie.

"I got 7 offers for now" replied Ryan.

"7? From which club?" asked Cannon.

"It's AC Milan, Chelsea, DC United, Lyon, Milwall, Schalke 04 and Wolverhampton Wanderers" replied Ryan.

"Damn. So, which club did you chose?" asked Pulisic.

"I haven't decide it yet. I need to really consider everything" replied Ryan.

"I see. Go to the wrong club and you're doomed" said Cannon.

"That's true" replied Ryan.

"By the way, dude. What's the relationship between you and Tierna actually?" asked Pulisic.

"We're bestfriend. No, it's more like we're unofficial twins or something like that. Why?" asked Ryan in returned.

"Nothing. You and her seems like siblings though. I thought she might be your cousin or something. Then, what about Mal?" asked Pulisic again.

"Well, Mal and I are good friend" replied Ryan.

"Really? Just good friend?" asked Cannon.

"Yeah. Why?" asked Ryan in returned.

"You both looks cute together though" said McKennie.

"That's true. Why don't you try and ask her out?" asked Pulisic.

"You guys are joking, right?" asked Ryan in returned.

"No, we're not. Seriously, bro. We can see the way she looks at you. She had a crush on you but she didn't have guts to tell you because I think she's afraid it will be awkward between you and her" said Cannon.

"Mal, huh" replied Ryan.

"Yeah. Cute, kind and funny. What else do you need?" asked McKennie.

"I'll think about it" said Ryan without telling them what is his real feeling towards her.

"Don't wait for too long, bro. She might changes her heart though. Girls move on so fast though" said Pulisic.

"Okay. I keep it in mind" said Ryan. Then, he texted Alex.

Ryan9: Hi, sis. Are you busy right now?

Alex13: Not really. Why, do you want to hang out with your favourite sister?

Ryan9: I don't know about favourite 😝😝😝 But if it's meant you, then yes. I have things to talk about.

Alex13: Okay, baby boy. Meet me at the lobby in 10 minutes.

Ryan9: Okay 😚😚

Later on;

Ryan and Alex are having tea at a nearby cafe.

"So, Ryan. What are you want to talk about?" asked Alex.

"Well, it's about me and one of your teammates" replied Ryan.

"Mal?" asked Alex.

"Yeah" replied Ryan.

"Why, did you have crush on her?" asked Alex.

"Well, kind off" replied Ryan. Alex smirked.

"Well, to be honest. Some of the players in USWNT are shipping you together though" said Alex.

"Really? But, I don't know if she likes me like I do though" replied Ryan.

"You afraid that you lose a good friend?" asked Alex.

"Yes" replied Ryan.

"But at least you should try to hangout with her more before anything" said Alex.

"Very well. I'll try that first" replied Ryan.

"By the way, your friends said that you were meeting your agent this morning. Did you got any transfer offers?" asked Alex.

"Yeah" replied Ryan.

"So, which club did you chose?" asked Alex.

"I haven't decide it yet" replied Ryan.

"Why?" asked Alex.

"There's total 7 clubs that making the offer. I need to really think about it" said Ryan.

"7? Wow, you such a hot stuff. So, all of it are from European top tier league divisions?" asked Alex.

"Most of it while there's 1 club from MLS; DC United" replied Ryan.

"Okay, that's hard decision to make" said Alex.

"I know. That's why I took my time a bit" replied Ryan.

"Very well. Just you to know, any club that you chose to go, I'll support your decision" said Alex.

"I know that. Thanks, sis" replied Ryan. Alex just smirked.
