Head It! Inspiried by Nessasary Roughness It was a hot summer day in Frankfurt,Germany,Where the National German soccer team was warming up for a practice game with USA. "Hey!"A voice yelled"Miss!Watch out!!" A soccer ball hurtled towards an slim girl with tan skin and curly hair tied up in a bun, her gaze shifted ever so and noticed the ball.Her chocolate brown eyes widened and her strawberry pink lips dropped open with shock her body frozen-unable to move. Her body slammed up against one of the ads posted on the side of the stadium,Immediatley a medical team which was on break rushed to her side swarming over her like flies to a carcass. "Hey"Joachim (Head Coach)said,"Who kicked her with the ball?!" He looked around angrily at the German team and then to the USA team" Do you have any idea how important she is?!" He yelled. "I hit her-but I warned her though I told her to move.." Bastian mumbled. "Unn" the girl mumbled rubbing her head and standing up to her full height"I'm okay,Coach." she smiled showing off her pearly white teeth.She looked at the German team and then smiled," I'm Christina Warmbrunn, I'm a Sports Therapist and I've been assigned to help each and every one of you with your problems wether you like it or not." She paused for a moment and looked around."Honestly, I just would like to understand what's going on in your heads..I'm just here to listen and help you guys out." She flashed another 100 watt smile at Joachim. "Ladies!" Joachim barked," Stop staring at her like she's the last woman on earth and PRACTICE!" He hurled a ball playfully at Mesut Özil and blew his sterling silver whistle.
Head It! Pt.2 Christina quietly sat down on a fold out chair next to Jochaim and watched him shout commands to the team."Man,It's hot out"Lukas moaned,starting to peel his shirt off,smiling mischievously. "Lukas! Don't you have a kid or something?" One of the paparazzi said laughing. "You aren't even a good soccer player!" Another chimed "Go back home to Poland!" A third shrieked,"We don't want you here!"Lukas yanked his shirt back down his playful flirtatious face replaced with a scowl. "Hey! Hey!" Joachim barked, "How'd they get in here,this is a private practice!Get OUT!" He cussed a while at the paparazzi until they ran off. "Lukas." Christina called out during the teams water break "Ooooo" The rest of the team chimed," Lukas is in trouble"Joachim glanced over the team and they instantly quieted down. "So Lukas," Christina murmured flipping a couple of pages in a notebook," Do those paparazzi always taunt you like that?" Lukas paused for a bit and rubbed his head" Yea-but when you're a soccer star you try to not let it get to you.."He paused and noticed her furiously scribbling notes.He cleared his throat and cotinued on," It's just hard being away from my son for so long-it may sound cheesy but he honestly means the world to me." He wiped dripping sweat of his forehead with a muscular arm and stopped." Did you get all of that?" he said laughing "Hm? Oh, I record all of my sessions..I'm just writing tidbits of information about you-the way you walked in, the way you talk and the way you carry yourself-it can help with your paparazzi problem.You're doing a great job so far by not letting them get to you but you should eliminate their place in your life they're just a blockade holding you from being the best you can be." She stopped and examined his body-His lanky arms hung behind his neck and his forehead dripped with warm sweat.His pale blue eyes paired well with his constantly bubbly persona.And buzz cut blonde hair.His body was similar to any other soccer players-lean yet muscular," I'm just saying you have so many fans.. They can help you understand your full potential." She stood up abruptly"Oops-It seems I wasted your water break.." She laughed nervously "No,no I enjoyed talking to you" Lukas said his blue eyes sparkling,"I feel better already"

Head It! Pt.3 After practice,Christina offered to help pick up the equipment,And quickly noticed she was the only person picking up equipment.Where did everyone go? She thought angrily,She heard footsteps behind her and quickly whipped around to find herself in Özi's tan sinewy arms.She could feel her face reddening-Özi was her soccer crush and she thought he was just as good if not better than Messi."Um." Her lip glossed mouth opened but words couldn't come out. Özi's dark brown serious eyes looked into hers, "You okay,Fraulien?" he said steadying her. "Yes,I'm fine" she said nervously laughing. "A little pig told me that I'm your favorite soccer player" He said lifting some cleats and backpacks. "Oh..Well, yes." She mumbled dragging water cart. "That's sweet.." He said breaking the awkward silence between them. " Maybe we can talk some other time?" he said starting to set the cleats and backpacks back where they belonged.Don't Go! She screamed in her head, But he left anyways waving slightly then trotting off to the mens showers.
The next day, Christina awoke prepared to goon the Germany national soccer team tour bus-they were headed out for a meet and greet before the practice game before Germany and the USA the drive would be at least one day.The bus which was extremely decked out; with a large tv, kitchen and 3 wonderful bathrooms.Night quickly fell but Christina couldn't sleep.She got up and checked the clock for the umpteenth time, knowing that it wouldn't change it seemed to remain fixed at 11:43pm. "Can't sleep either?" a voice came from behind. " Who is it?" She said suddenly afraid "Piggy" Bastian replied," I heard you and Özi picked up soccer equipment together" he cooed. Her face remained still "He's just my patient,I'm his therapist."She stated. "Whatever makes you sleep at night" Piggy remarked."I know you have feelings for him,I don't think he knows and I won't tell him but he'll find out eventually.."Finally morning came and Christina was in the kitchen cooking breakfast when Boatang slumped down in a chair,"Good Morning," he mumbled sleepily " When will the food be done?" he asked eying the bacon and eggs. "Soon."She replied.The rest of the team shuffled over and ate as if it was their last meal on Earth."Can I have your pancakes if you don't want them?" Özi begged." She's going to give them to me!" Piggy barked. "No me!" Özi yelled, "I'm her favorite!" "Guy guys no use fighting...I have two pancakes you can both have one"But when she looked at her plate they were gone and Jochaim was licking his lips with satisfaction."Problem solved,Doc"

Head It Pt.6 After cooking a scrumptious breakfast for the team they decided to pamper her by attempting to do her hair and nails."Hey,hey guys it's okay..You don't have to do my nails, I appreciate the thought though." She nervously tugged a piece of curly hair behind her ear and blushed a bit. "Too bad!" Boatang boomed,"Just cause we're guys doesn't mean we can't do girly things.." He stopped for a moment noticing his sentence made the team completely silent. "How do you think I get my hair to look this good?" Sami Khedria mused, flipping his hair like a valley girl and pretending to examine his nails. "I think you use gel?"Christina mumbled,happy that they stopped focusing on her. "Get Her!!" Piggy yelled,playfully tackling her into a plush couch . "I'll get the nail polish" Lukas offered grinning like the Cheshire cat. "I'll go get make up" Mario volunteered," Um...what does it look like?" he called his head stuck in the closet. " You idiot!" Lukas barked,carrying a box full of nail polish back inti the living room," I'll get it myself" he muttered storming off and grabbing the black make up case,"Have you never seen make up before?" Lukas said laughing. " Um...." Mario said, his tan face turning red." I haven't been with many girls."He lowered his head ashamed. " You do realize you're in the prescene of womanizers?!" Piggy stated proudly." You gotta get a girl,Mario in fact I demand it by this week!" Piggy held out his hand" Shake on it?" he offered. Mario extended it bashfully and shook it." Wait." Piggy said holding up a finger,he whipped around noticing that the couch was empty." Who was suppoused to watch her?!" he growled."Özi go get her!" Piggy demanded. " Why me?!"Özi moaned running a hand through his dark hair. " Everyone knows.." Sami muttered. "Aren't you two dating or something?" Piggy asked examining the nail polish colors. " No, we aren't anything like that." He said attempting to defend himself."Why are you accusing me? Shouldn't we focus on her having a good time here, it's bad enough she stuck with a bunch of aggressive womanizing men, Lets just have fun.Okay?" Özi said," I'll go look for her." He wandered around the large bus and finally found her room he knocked politely," I'm coming.." Christina's voice called out.She opened the door and returned to the couch. "Our experiment-aherm-Doctor has returned" Piggy said laughing. Sami examined the nail polish colors." So many colors.." He murmured. "All colors work with my skin tone," Christina stated proudly," I've never seen a color that didn't look good on me." She grinned and looked at the guys. "I'll start on her hair!" Özi exclaimed pulling her black hairband out. " Eep!" Christina squealed covering her hair with her hands. " Looks like someone has an insecurity" Lahm pointed out slouched against a bar counter drinking some mineral water. " It's just I rarely let stylists handle it-professional stylists- I have no idea what you'll do to mine." Tears started to well up in her eyes" I'm supposed to help you guys with you problems, but I have so many of my own." She sniffled tears pouring out of her choclate brown eyes and dropping onto her grey sweatpants. " It's okay, nobody is perfect, we all have issues and problems- you gotta let some steam lose sometimes." Lahm comforted," just stay strong and we'll all make it through together."Lahm looked at her hair which extended to the middle of her shoulder blades."So many people made fun of it when I was little." She stopped and noticed that the Lion had walked in. " Hey,Princess" Joachim said laughing," I see the men are trying to pamper you.I'll be in my room, but we'll be arriving in about 3 hours." He then walked off to his room and shut the door. "It looks nice"Piggy mumbled his face turning red. "What looks nice?" Christine said puzzled. "Your um um hair and er your nails" Piggy finished letting out a nervous sigh. "That didn't sound so sure." Christina said bursting out in laughter.She reached for her hairband and quickly tied it up in a messy bun." Mario, if you ever want to talk about anything-in particular- this girl issue feel free to talk to me" she smiled," I'm sure the right girl will come in time"

Head It!Pt.7 During the meet and greet,A swarm of paparazzi followed the entire team as they were escorted to their seats.Reporters yelled over eachother trying to ask questions, fans trampled one another to reach their favorite player. Joachim noticed the madness and quickly withdrew his whistle from his pocket, SQUEEEEEE the whistle screeched pausing all of the mayhem momentarily," Everyone in 2 lines-Reporters or Fans please." An announcer droned.People scrambled to get into correct lines while the paparazzi moved closer to the table where the team was sitting. "Hey there" Piggy said greeting a little boy no older than 8 being escorted to the table with his father.Polska's eyes softened almost immediately noticing the father and son, The boy held out a soccer ball to Piggy and asked in a whisper for him to sign it," Sure buddy!" Piggy said flashing a smile and signing the ball with a gold sharpie. Next in line was a bunch of teenage girls screamimg like school girls."OHMIGOD IT'S SEBASTIAN SCHWEINSTEIGER!!" The screamed in unison, The trio held out three separate pictures of Bastian shirtless-of course-Christina thought rolling her eyes,"What?" Piggy said laughing," I don't look good?" he said nodding towards the pictures, " Um,well.." Christina mumbled," I guess so..." She finished. "You guess?!" Bastian said outraged, "Look at these abs!" He promptly flipped his shirt up revealing a six pack.The three girls holding their signed photos nearly passed out with glee Mario eyed Bastian and shook his head laughing," C'mon Piggy is that all you got?" Mario quickly lifted off his shirt and tossed it to a nearby crowd of fans.Mario who was equally handsome as Bastian was much tanner than Piggy and his dark brown eyes shone with glee.Joachim quickly put an end to the competition demanding that they should focus on their fans and not to make a fool of themselves. Özi snickered at the two getting scolded, while Lahm shook his head ashamed but proud of the womanizing tactics he had taught them.
Head It After a couple of hours passed and the crowd died down the team left and went across the street to the stadium where the practice round was being held.The Americans entered ten minutes late and seemed oddly confident. The score was 0(Germany)-2(USA) And the German team was starting to lose hope, Joachim attempted to hold the team together by calling a time out and giving the men a pep talk." Men! You cannot lose! This is a practice round, It's not even a real game! You are all better than this! Through the worst we come out strong!Let's go back out there and make sure they know who we ARE!" Joachim patted each player on the back and watched the team trot back onto the field with rejunvenated spirits. The team made quick work of breaking down the U.S.A's defense with ease and communicating more than before. The ball zipped past confused U.S.A defenders and was passed to Özi, from Özi the ball worked it's way to Mario who stood with a perfect shot to the goal, Almost immediately two U.S defenders attempted to get the ball from Mario, but when he shot the ball to Sami the defenders scrambled to get the ball from Sami, who had shot the ball down to Özi who shot the ball cleanly into the goal.The crowd went beserek screaming and cheering although it was a practice match.Bastian and Boatang immediately tackled Mesut playfully into the turf whooping and cheering like kids. Lahm gave the trio and look and the three immediately got up and seemed embarrassed for acting out. Özi, and Bastian lifted their heads when they heard a familiar voice screaming "Go Deutschland!" along with the rest of the crowd, Even Jochaim seemed startled when he turned and noticed that Christina was screaming at the top of her lungs."I'll make sure to do my best for you sweetheart!"Piggy cooed during a water break pulling on Christina's cheek playfully then quickly kissing her on the cheek.Christina's face reddened slightly and the rest of the team eyed Piggy's display of affection.But a ref blew a whistle signaling that break tine was over, the game resumed the German using every bit of strength to prevail against the U.S. And as the U.S pushed forward the ball neared the German goal, Boatang quickly swooped in reversing the direction of the ball inti the German's favor. There was ten minutes left on the clock and the score remained 1(G)-2(U.S). Boatang passed to Özi who quickly kicked the ball down to Mario who kicked the ball in, but was blocked by the goalie, the ball was thrown back in and the Germans eagerly pounced on it. Out of the scramble Piggy emerged victorious kicking the ball past the dumbfounded goalie, Piggy was rewarded with a pat on the back from Mario and a fist bump from Joachim.The score was now tied, with four minutes remaining on the clock. Now it was anybodies game. The U.S earned a foul by one player touching the ball with their hands which earned the Germans one throw in. Bastian threw the ball down to Lukas who directed the ball to Boatang who weaves the ball around to Sami who evaded three defenders on his own and passed the ball down the field in the direction Özi who whipped around and kicked the ball, it flew beautifully into the goal. Özi-usually shy under the gaze of media- slid on the ground as the clock struck 0:00 lifted his head to the sky and mouthed "thank you" the team immediately surrounded him and tousled his hair, hugged him and wrestled him to the ground.The Lion stood silent by Christina but he let out a chuckle watching the men act like little kids.Afterwards, Joachim led the team back to the hotel to enjoy a celebration meal cooked by Christina who had slipped out before Özi made the final goal. The table seemed to moan under the immense weight of food she had cooked.Schnitzel(Pork pounded thin and dunked in egg and breaded w/ breadcrumbs), Dumplings, Spatzle(Noodles), and an immense Apfelkuchen(Apple cake) which overtook a majority of the table." Dig in guys, you earned it" Christina said wiping her hands on a white apron. All of the men thanked Christina before digging into the meal of a lifetime. " Can I marry you?" Piggy said wiping his slightly stubbled face with a napkin," You're an amazing chef" He winked at her flirtatiously. " You shouldn't just marry a girl because she can cook." Sami said quietly. "I'm not just a good chef-" Christina said pouting slightly. "Christina let's not go there we don't wanna know what you do behind closed doors." Lukas said laughing, his blue eyes shining. " I was going to say I'm a good listener." Christina said glaring at Lukas. "This was the best home cooked meal I've had in a while," Jochaim commented. "Thanks," Christina said smiling," It was honestly nothing, you guys earned it."
(Week before season starts) Joachim announced that since this would be the last week before the season started.The team would be going to much needed vacation to Hawaii. When the plane arrived in Hawaii, they were greeted warmly by locals on the main island. Christina's face lit up the second Joachim mentioned that there would be massages, a tour of the island and a five star hotel the team would stay at for one week. "Great," Bpatang muttered" Just what I needed a girly vacation." he rolled his eyes slightly and shook his head obviously irritated. " It's not girly!" Özi replied, as girls surrounded him placing beautifully colored lei's around his neck. "This is just what we need, we need to relax men" Lahm piped in. "Can we please just go to the hotel?!" Piggy whined," I want to sleep!" He yawned slightly rubbing one eye. " How can you be tired in paradise Schweni?"Sami snapped. "And all of these hot chicks" Boatang said winking at girl. "We're at the hotel..." Christina said slightly irritated that the guys were being so shallow about girls they liked based on looks. When they entered the massive hotel, each room they had reserved for each "buddy The rooms were gorgeous, the walls were a pale blue and each bedroom cotained a nice bed in a creamy white color along with blue pillows. Each hotel room contained a small kitchen, a large barthroom with two sinks and two showers, a family room space with a tv and video gamesalong with a gorgeous balcony overlooking the island. The team had taken the entire floor and each person had to draw sticks to see who would be paired with who. Finally, when it was Christina's turn she plucked a stick out that read "Mesut" She could feel her face burn red and she looked to Joachim for support. "Mesut is a complete gentleman, I'm sure you'll be fine Princess." Joachim stated reassuringly. As Mesut guided her to their room number:212 she couldn't help but stare at his gorgeous male model-like body and giggle. "What's so funny,Christina?" Özi said turning his warm chocolate eyes on her." Um.." she said looking off, trying to think of something to say. She couldn't focus while Özi was in front of her. Why can't I act right in front of him?! She thought angrily. "I-um", she blushed furiously noticing his eyes were staring straight into hers, not wavering even when a gorgeous girl walked by.Just then, a clumsy elderly lady ran her roller luggage on Christina's foot which made her recoil with pain and jump straight onto Özi's foot which made them both hop around like fools.She stopped and noticed him hopping around clutching his foot," I need that for football!" he said laughing." Let's just get into our room, okay?" he said unlocking the door to their room.
The next morning, the team ventured out into a spa in the middle of a lush forest. Each individual member was led into a room where they received a massage then were sent into a relaxing hot tub with the others. "This is nice, huh?"Piggy said poking Christina as she entered the hot tub. "Yes,It seems relaxing" she said smiling lightly.Soon the rest of the team entered the hot tub and of course Christina was the only female. "Awkward yet?"Mario said ti Christina laughing. "A tad-You know what, I have some reading to do.. I'll meet you guys in the front."She quickly stepped put of the pool and dried off, and walked briskly off to change into dry clothes. "Aww, man" Piggy said looking at Mario,"You scared her off!" "I think she feels strange being in a tub with all men" Özi said quietly. "I think she feels awkward being in a room with you."Piggy shot back to Özi. "Guys,let's all calm down, she's just nervous and she has every reason to be." Boatang said sternly. Soon, all of the men exited the hot tub and left the spa for a trek in the wilderness.
