The Return of the Menace
If you asked any football fan in the world who the most entertaining player was, the answer would always be the same:
Skye Buckers.
World Cup winner. Champions League winner. Multiple-time Ballon d'Or winner. Nike's biggest athlete. Arsenal and USWNT's shining star. And still, somehow, the most unserious footballer to ever exist.
The only thing that had changed?
She wasn't just Skye Buckers anymore.

Breaking News: Buckers & Mühl – Officially OFF the Market
The internet lost its mind when Skye Buckers and Nika Mühl finally tied the knot.
It wasn't just a wedding. It was an event.
• Paige was Skye's maid of honor.
• Trinity was the absolute chaos coordinator.
• Katie McCabe gave a speech that made half the room cry and the other half take shots.
• Jamal Musiala, who somehow became Skye's best friend over the years, flew in just to heckle her during the vows.
• Emma Hayes, her forever favorite coach, sent a video message saying, "I knew you'd be a problem from the first day I coached you, but look at you now."
And of course, because Skye would never be normal, she posted one single photo from the wedding with the caption:
"Forever my problem."
The internet broke.

Career Glow-Ups & Absolute Chaos
Paige Buckers? WNBA superstar. UConn legend turned league MVP who still clowned Skye daily.
Trinity Rodman? Still Skye's chaotic best friend. Somehow convinced Nike to give them a joint campaign called 'Certified Menaces.'
Jamal Musiala? "Skyes Twin Buckers sibling" at this point. Skye made it her mission to embarrass him whenever possible.
Katie McCabe? Still terrifying. Somehow became the one to give Skye marriage advice, which was... questionable.
Lena Oberdorf? Skye's favorite rival-turned-friend. The media still tried to make drama out of their battles, but they always ended in laughing and jersey swaps.
⸻
A Surprise Retirement (Kind Of?)
One day, out of nowhere, Skye dropped the biggest bombshell of her career.
"This is my last World Cup."
The internet? DEVASTATED.
But Skye? Unbothered.
She wasn't leaving football completely—she just wanted to enjoy life a little more.
Travel. Watch Nika's games without worrying about her own schedule. Maybe coach someday. Maybe just cause chaos from the sidelines.
And maybe, just maybe... start a family.
(But no one knew that yet.)
⸻
The Final Goodbye (Sort Of)
The final scene?
Skye Buckers, standing in a packed stadium, lifting the World Cup trophy one last time.
Nika waiting on the sidelines, smiling like she was the proudest person on earth.
Trinity tackling her in celebration.
The team chanting her name.
A legacy sealed in history.
And as always, Skye posting the most unserious caption after the biggest win of her life:
"Nice to meet u."
Because no matter how much changed, Skye Buckers would always be Skye Buckers.
A legend. A menace. And forever, a winner.

The End.
