ONE

"And it's a KO by Anthony Joshua!"

Liza Pfister jumped up and down as she watched the boxing match on her large television screen in the living area of her home, a loud scream of joy leaving her lips as her fist found its way in to the air in celebration, her long blonde hair getting everywhere as she celebrated.

She definitely got way too in to celebrating knock outs in her favorite sport which was boxing, liking it since it was not just from the points or by split decision, but a clear victory.

Her beer was knocked over since she had accidentally hit her coffee table whilst leaping to her feet, grimacing slightly as she noticed the puddle of alcoholic liquid now pooled on her coffee table and in her carpet.

She would clean that later.

Probably.

The Swiss girl chuckled as she heard a scream similar to the one that had left her body, coming from the bedroom, laughing since she knew that she was incredibly lucky to have been able to watch the boxing match in the living room, having won a bet in order to do so.

Otherwise, she would've had to have watched the match from her bedroom, where there was a much smaller television instead of the large one that she had seen it.

Her feet moved towards the bedroom, walking in to the room with what was left of her beer in her hand, seeing her best friend celebrating a victory for her team in her favorite sport.

Football.

Or soccer, depending on where people were from, but she always called it football.

"You won, huh?"

Liza smiled as her best friend turned towards her, a bright and gleeful smile that was only ever that big on her face if her football team had won their match.

"Bayern won with ease, obviously."

Johanna Berger grinned in happiness, having watched a football game of her favorite team, Bayern Munich win against another team known as Schalke.

Johanna hadn't really wanted to watch the football game on the smaller television of the two, but she had lost the bet so she had to graciously accept defeat.

"I'd expect nothing less from them. What are you wanting for food, pulce?"

Johanna rolled her eyes at the nickname that her best friend had given her, one that had stuck and had been around for a long time now. She wondered when Liza would change it, but she also knew that if it was changed, then it would be changed to something worse.

That was Liza in a nutshell. Her best friend.

"Let's just order pizza to celebrate, since you're being so nice, I presume you got the result that you wanted." Johanna laughed, seeing her best friend nod her head up and down with a cheeky grin on her face, though that was her normal grin anyway.

The two friends moved back towards the living area of the home that Liza had, since Johanna was staying with her best friend for a couple of weeks, the German girl having taken some time off from her job and headed away from her home in Baden-Württemberg, and jumped on to the sofa to begin scrolling through all the different takeaways that they could order pizza from.

The two of them could've stayed with Liza's parents on their farm, since Johanna always loved seeing her best friends dogs, but they had other guests so they did not want to intrude and make the place extra crowded.

"Shall we do something different to what we usually do?" Liza questioned, her index finger tapping at her chin as she was deep in thought. "We always chill, get food, eat out a few times, go shopping, and then go for a trip to somewhere two hours away, but shall we do something completely different?"

"What, like go somewhere three hours away?"

"I'm serious, Jojo." Liza released a small whine. "We've got the time, I've got the money, why not just go somewhere that we've never been before, or do something that we don't know."

"In that case, I'll find us a takeaway, you find us some place to go and 'do something different.'" Johanna smiled, her stomach rumbling slightly which made her want her food even more, tempting her to potentially order more food than she should've.

Screw the diet.

She wasn't even on a diet, but she always said that to herself when ordering takeaway to make herself feel better for the amount of junk food that she was going to be eating.

The brunette could see out of the corner of her eye that Liza was hard at work searching the Internet for things for them to do, occasionally scrunching up her face at some ideas that she presumed were very very bad, and so, with her distracted, the Berger woman decided to order a large pizza, with sweet potato fries, chicken wings and halloumi fries, all for herself.

She was thin, but she had a very quick metabolism which meant that she burnt food off quickly, often making her hungry once again only a few hours after having eaten, so she was making sure that would not happen.

She ordered Liza her usual, a large pizza with fries and a burger too, and quickly typed in the payment details of Liza's card, because they both memorised one another's bank cards, allowing it to be ordered, which was definitely a relief to her growling and impatient stomach.

"Found anything? I swear, if I'm spending my time off at some circus or a place that looks like I'll be murdered there with my body mysteriously appearing months later, then I am going home." Johanna warned with a glare upon her face though a slight smirk on her lips, her index finger on her left hand pointing harshly towards her best friend in warning.

"Nope, I've booked us tickets to Milan." Liza jolted upwards having been slouched for a little while, her back a little bit sore, excitement evident in her voice and all over her face.

"We're going shopping in Milan? After everything you've said about wanting to do something different, you've booked us tickets to Milan, just to go shopping again?" Johanna found herself releasing an agitated groan from her lips, her hand lifting to hit herself in her face.

"Who said anything about shopping?" The Pfister girl shot her best friend a teasing wink. "I have booked us tickets to some Grand Prix thing, that's near Milan."

"Grand Prix? Like Mario Kart? That kinda Grand Prix?"

"Honestly, I have no idea but it'll be fun to find out!" Liza couldn't but grin proudly, she had no idea what it was that she had booked, but people seemed to be going crazy for it and the pictures looked cool, so she thought, why not?

"Well, how much are the tickets? I'll pay you back for my half." Johanna spoke with confidence, wanting to pay her half.

Whilst Liza had a lot of money due to her parents farm, her job training dogs in the army, and some other jobs that she did in her free time, Johanna didn't have a lot of spare money every month after getting paid, but she always tried to pay back Liza whenever she paid for things.

She always managed to do so too, it just took a few months in order to do so, but Liza never minded, in fact, she often refused the money, and would send it back to her best friend, who would then send it back to her, who would then send it back to her.

It was a repetitive cycle.

"But you payed for the milkshakes we had yesterday, so this is my treat." Liza shook her head from side to side.

"Yeah but I think there is quite a big price difference between milkshakes and tickets to a Mario Kart race."

"Eh, still payed for them."

"Are we just going to spend my time off sending each other the money until our banks block our transactions again?"

"Oh absolutely."
