That day, Ryan woke up early. He then changed into his tracksuit before went for his last morning run in Cardiff. Ryan's move to AC Milan news had gone worldwide as nobody expecting him to leave UK after 2 and a half seasons on the country. To make it better, 3 of his teammates in USA national team; Cannon, Mihailovic and Lewis will joined him at the 7-time UEFA Champions League winner too. Ryan is still in a a no-talking situation with Alex and Mal. The only player from USWNT that he still always contacted until that day is his unofficial twin; Tierna. Both his other sister; Jeni and Jeri did contacted him sometimes.

"I'm really going to miss Cardiff" muttered Ryan alone.

Few days later in USA;

"Seriously, Alex. How long are you going to ignore Ryan?" asked Jeni.

"Until I feel like want to talk to him again" replied Alex.

"Don't you love him anymore" asked Jeri.

"Of course I do" replied Alex.

"We don't know what else to say. Don't you know how broken his heart is when you, his biggest idol in soccer didn't want to talk with him. I won't be surprise if he reverted back to a lonely guy" asked Jeni.

"I'm not interested to talk about it. I'm going to bed now" said Alex before walked to her bed.

Later;

Alex tried to sleep but she can't.

"Fine! I'll go and get my brother back" said Alex alone before grabbed her phone and sent a FaceTime request to Ryan.

Meanwhile;

Ryan just settled down at his new place in Milan after he done with the press conference. When he got a FaceTime request from Alex, he puts on his cap, sunglasses and covered his mouth using his AC Milan muffler before answering the call.

Ryan: Hi, sis.

Alex: Why are you covering your face like that?

Ryan: You're the one who said that you didn't want to see my face anymore.

Alex can't help but to burst into laughter.

Alex: Oh my god. What have I done causing me to get this goofy little brother.

Ryan: Aww, I miss your laughter.

Alex: Ryan, I want to apologise to you for being a jerk towards you.

Ryan: Well, sis. I never forgive anyone so easy.

Alex: I see. It's okay. I'm totally understand that.

Ryan: But, since you're my beloved sister and one of my idol, I make exception this time. But please don't said that again. It's hard, you know. Not talking to you.

Alex: Okay, baby. I won't do it again. Now, take off all the things that you used to cover your face.

Ryan: Gladly.

Ryan then takes off his cap, sunglasses and mufler.

Ryan: Aaahhh. Now, I can breath.

Alex: Aww, my goofy little brother. So, will you returned to national team now?

Ryan: Nope. Berhalter told me that he'll no longer call me up. And until today, he never plead to me to come out of my international retirement.

Alex: I see. So, when can we meet again?

Ryan: Soon, I guess. Since AC Milan is going to USA for pre-season and Orlando City is one of the team that we will face.

Alex: That's good. I'll be there for sure.

Ryan: I'll be looking forward to that.

Alex: Anyway, I'm going to sleep now. Goodbye, sweetheart.

Ryan: Bye, sis. I love you.

Alex: I love you too.

Then, they hung up.

Few days later;

All players arrived at their hotel in Orlando, Florida. After puts all his stuff inside his room, Ryan walked around the city. Then, he saw 2 Orlando Pride players; Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris are taking picture with their fans.

"Hi, can I take picture with you too?" asked Ryan. Both ladies turned around.

"Ryan!" cried both of them before hugged Ryan.

"What are you doing here by the way?" asked Ali.

"Pre-season tour" replied Ryan.

"Did Alex know that you're here?" asked Ashlyn.

"She knew I'll be here but she didn't know that I already here" replied Ryan.

"So, you and her are good now?" asked Ali.

"Yeah" replied Ryan.

"Good. C'mon. We're taking you to her place" said Ashlyn.

"Lead the way" replied Ryan.

Later on;

All 3 of them arrived in front of Alex's house. Then, Ryan rang the bell. Few minutes later, the door's opened.

"Surprise!" said Ryan.

"RYAN ALEXANDER MORGAN!" cried Alex before hugged Ryan.

"I take that you love the surprise" said Ryan.

"Of course I do. But why are you here?" asked Alex.

"What? I've told you that my club is playing Orlando City in the pre-season" replied Ryan.

"Oh, yeah. But, you didn't really tell me when. C'mon in" said Alex.

"Sorry, Alex. We can't. We have other things to do" said Ali.

"I see. See you during practice then" said Alex.

"Okay. Bye, Morgans" said Ashlyn.

"Bye. Thanks for bringing me here" said Ryan.

"No problem. Take care" said Ali before she and Ashlyn left. Then, The Morgans get into the house.

"So, Ryan. How many teams that you'll face in this tour?" asked Alex.

"5. Orlando, LA Galaxy, Real Salt Lake, DC United and Chicago" replied Ryan.

"So, You'll face Serv in LA. Did T knew that you'll be in Chicago?" asked Alex.

"I don't know. She might knew it if she followed AC Milan in social media" replied Ryan.

"Did Mal knew?" asked Alex. Ryan sighed.

"Who knows. She still blocks me on the social media" replied Ryan.

"What a complicated relationship you have there" said Alex.

"Yeah" replied Ryan.

"You really like her, do you?" asked Alex.

"Of course I do" replied Ryan.

"Don't ever give up, Ryan" said Alex. Ryan just nodded.

Few days later;

AC Milan is facing Orlando City for their first pre-season tour's match. The 7 times UEFA Champions League winner had no problem crushing Orlando City with 7-0; with Ryan scored hattrick in his debut for his club.

"They didn't give Orlando any chance, huh" said Ali.

"Yeah. But, you know what. I was a bit worry about Ryan right now" said Alex.

"Why?" asked Ashlyn.

"He wears No.9 jersey for AC Milan" said Alex.

"So? He wore the same with Cardiff too" said Ali.

"Don't you know that number was cursed in Milan since Pippo Inzaghi retired?" asked Alex.

"Milan's No.9 Curse! Now, I remember" said Ashlyn.

"I hope Ryan is doing just fine" said Alex.

"Let's have faith on him. Besides, he's not the ordinary player. He's Ryan Morgan though" said Ali.

Few days later;

Ryan and the rest of AC Milan players arrived at Chicago, Illinois for their final pre-season match. After defeating Orlando, they went to defeat LA Galaxy 3-0, Real Salt Lake 5-0, and DC United 7-0. They are now will facing Chicago Fire in the last pre-season match before returned to Italy. After putting his stuff in the hotel room, he went for a walk. He then saw 4 USWNT players that played for Chicago Red Stars; Alyssa Naeher, Julie Ertz, Morgan Bryan and Tierna Davidson. Alyssa, Julie and Morgan saw Ryan coming while Tierna is looking at her phone. Ryan then asked them to quiet as he walked to Tierna and poked her cheek. Tierna looked up and so surprised seeing Ryan.

"Ryan! Ughh, this fool" said Tierna before jumped on Ryan before hugs him.

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

"How you're doing, Ryan?" asked Julie.

"I'm good. What about you ladies?" asked Ryan.

"We're good. So, here for the last pre-season match, huh?" asked Morgan in returned.

"Yeah. I'm here to beat Chicago Fire" replied Ryan.

"But, why you didn't tell me that you'll be here today?" asked Tierna.

"No reason" replied Ryan causing Tierna to kick his leg.

"So, did you meet Mal at Washington?" asked Alyssa.

"Nope. I guess she found a way to not come across me. But, Rose was there during the match against DC United" replied Ryan.

"What about the girls at Utah?" asked Morgan.

"I met Kelley, Becky and Cristen there. Kelley's brother that played for Lazio; Kyle was there too" replied Ryan.

"How's Reggie, Djordje and Jon by the way?" asked Tierna.

"They're good. They expecting all of you to come and watch tomorrow's match" replied Ryan.

"We will be there. There's no way we will miss to see you 4 in action live" said Alyssa.

"That's great. I'll see you ladies tomorrow then" said Ryan.

On the next day;

AC Milan are playing against Chicago Fire that day where Mihailovic met his old team. As been expected, AC Milan easily defeated Chicago Fire 6-0 with Ryan scored all the goal for Milan.

"No wonder he refused to play in MLS. It's too easy for him" said Alyssa.

"Yeah. I hope he will returned to the national team. The boys need him" said Morgan.

"With Berhalter still in-charge, I don't think so" said Tierna.

"Yeah. Berhalter already said that he didn't need Ryan to the team. Let's see how far he can get" said Julie.
