(Subplot) Team Queen Chills

"Hey, this is awesome, Team Queen are back together again. It will be just like old times!" Barbie threw one arm around her wife's waist and the other around Chantelle's and hugged them both tightly "And we have two amazing new members! What teams were you guys in originally?"

"I moved around a bit" Tina recalled "I was in Gorgeous and Badass, but never Queen"

"I arrived a little after the teams were a thing" Anna added.

"Well, you are both Queen's now!" Barbie smiled gleefully "Am I the only one who think this current situation might actually turn out to be a lot of fun?"

"We need to address the elephant in the room though" Chantelle added with a hint of caution "Y'all are basically family to me at this point. But that doesn't mean one of us can't be the witch. In fact, as one of the larger groups, there is a higher chance than in most"

"I really don't think any of us are" Barbie asserted.

"That's an emotional response, babe" Cassie placed a hand on her wife's shoulder "You don't want any of us to be. But we were all in that meeting together and nobody gave off even the slightest hint of not being themselves. It may be just about impossible to tell"

"I feel like I could sense if one of us was any different, and I don't" Barbie shrugged.

"I think this gives Cassie and Chantelle an excuse to just chill for once" Tina reasoned "We can't talk tactics in case Rebecca is in our group. So let's have some fun"

"I think I've forgotten what chillling is!" Chantelle joked.

"Well, for starters, anyone who has fucked a Premier League footballer, raise your hand!" Tina challenged.

Barbie proudly threw her hand up into the air right away. Cassie followed a little more tentatively, before Chantelle also raised hers with an uncharacteristic giggle.

"I knew it!" Tina smiled "So we have one more member of the glitch Chelsea fan club! Do you think it could be serious between you and Wayne?"

"Maybe" Chantelle shrugged "The scheduling could be tricky. We're all off back to the US in a few weeks and he is constantly travelling around England and Europe for matches"

"True love always finds a way" Anna reassured her friend "Actually, he will be playing in the Champions League against Bayern Munich tonight. We need to watch that one together"

"No way, Arsenal are playing Barcelona" Cassie countered.

"There are multiple screens in the bar. Let's grab some beers and we can watch both" Tina suggested "Barbs, are you joining the Chelsea crowd or keeping your wife happy and rooting for the Arsenal scum?"

"Actually, I'm a Palace fan and I'm extremely loyal" Barbie informed the others.

"You literally just liked the name and fancied some of their players" Cassie rolled her eyes.

"Nonetheless, when I commit, I commit" Barbie reiterated "But since Palace don't seem to be in the Champions League, I will flip between both matches and route for you all to get the result you want tonight!"

"I'll drink to that" Chantelle agreed "You know, it might be just what I need to take some time out to just relax and hang out with my friends for a while"
