"They kinda fit together like puzzle pieces, don't they? Or like Legos, you know? Apart, they're pretty solid, but together they make somethin' really great. They build each other up."

Lucy Marie Lasso, the baby sister of Ted Lasso. Such a clich...

Lucy sat in the coaches' office once again, this time in a chair of her own brought in by Nate from the joint office next door. Ted was reading an article about the team's win on his phone while Beard read out of book with his feet propped up on his desk. It was quiet in the office, a comfortable silence that allowed her to think about the offer from Rebecca.
There wasn't anything else she wanted more in this world than to be the team's official photographer, to be back on the sidelines of a game again, working with her brother and new friends. It was something she didn't even consider as a possibility when she woke up in the morning, but now it was like the only thing she could see herself doing happily. It was like a dream come true, if the dream had been previously unrealized.
"Hey," Lucy spoke up, locking her phone as she looked up at Ted. "I've got something to tell you."
"Yeah?" Ted looked up from his phone, setting it down completely to give her his full attention. Coach Beard glanced up from his book as well, just waiting for her to speak. "What's up?"
Before she had the chance to speak, Roy marched in the office, swinging the door open. Everyone jumped, including Lucy, as he practically shouted, "We've got a fucking problem!"
Ted turned to Lucy, but she just lifted her hands, "This seems a lot more important than anything I have to say."
"You sure?"
"I think Roy is."
Roy nodded once, causing everyone to rise to their feet and follow him out into the locker room. Sam walked in, holding up Dani Rojas who had somehow managed to injure his leg. How, it was hard to tell, but Lucy could tell for sure that he was in pain. One of the on call medics followed them in, along with Higgins and Nate.
Beard and Ted moved past Lucy as the medic set up the folding medical table. Ted looked down at Dani's leg in shock, "What happened?"
"I don't know, Coach." Sam said, leading him to the table. "His ankle, leg, I don't know."
Ted gestured to the table, "Well, set him up there."
Dani sits on the table, swearing in Spanish as the medic checked out his foot. Lucy stood off to the side with Roy as everyone waited. The last sport she had done had been ballet when she was eleven. That's when it ended. She had gotten bored of it and had fallen in love with photography around that time. Lucy winced when Dani let out another long string of swear words in Spanish.
"Okay." Ted started, wincing as well as he tried to focus on Dani and not his injured ankle. "Okay, okay, I don't understand. What the heck happened, alright? Did you trip over something?"
