My Goalkeeping System

What is worse than being the worst team in the world? For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper. He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly. The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence. After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates. He got home sad and also angry at all those who told him he looked like his grandfather and would therefore inherit his goalkeeping skills. He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box. He found the box to be quite familiar and when he opened it the last thing he saw was a bright white light when the light was gone he could see something in his field of vision. [ Welcome Dave ] [ You have activated the Goalkeeping system ] A female voice read out the messages. This is a story about how an ordinary man who didn't know his place between the sticks went from nothing to pro and beyond that.

The Meeting

Dave made his way downstairs to find Emilia sitting on the couch in the living room tying her laces

'She's already up.'

She heard him coming downstairs and slowly raised her gaze to look at him.

"Hey, good morning." She said with a bright smile on her face.

"Good morning." The goalkeeper said but he didn't return the smile. "You're up already."

"Yeah, and I was wondering when you were going to come down." She said before getting up from the couch.

Dave kept his gaze on her as she slowly made her way to the door and pulled it open.

"Shall we?" She said before leaving the house through the door.

Nothing was said between the two for a while as they covered one kilometer but Emilia had things she wanted to say to him and she was going to start talking now.

"So, Emma's coming home today right?" She said,

"Yeah." He said.

"By what time are you going to pick her up?" She asked.

"Noon." He replied.
