when caitlin exits from her proper shower at home, the arsenal group chat is making her phone buzz wildly.
beth mead: so me and viv thought it would be nice to spend the afternoon, and then we could prepare some sort of dinner later in the night?
vivianne miedema: we'll be free the whole day so if any of you have nothing to do during the day, you could also just come early and help prep
steph catley: sounds good!
katie mccabe: will there be alcoholic beverages provided or will i need to supply everyone?
leah williamson: didn't realize we were planning to be blackout drunk !!
jordan nobbs: wait who's getting drunk
katie mccabe: nobody is jordy, leah's just a lightweight 
leah williamson: i am not! we have practice the next day i am not interested in having a hangover unlike you!
beth mead: we've got some red wine, and probably a few cans of beer, i'm going out tomorrow morning to get groceries for dinner anyways, there will be plenty beverages no need to worry
kim little: if i see anyone hungover at practice on monday, you will be banned from any alcoholic beverages for the remainder of the year. as a friendly reminder of course :)
jen beattie: she's bluffing, don't even worry bout it guys

caitlin laughs as she reads the messages.
the next morning, caitlin eats a quick vegemite toast before heading out to beth's house. she hasn't got much planned for today. initially, she thought the next free day she had, she would just spend it inside, watching sappy rom coms, but spending time with her teammates seems like a much better idea. when she arrives, she notices that steph's car is outside, a few houses down. she knocks a rhythmic beat on the door, a few moments later viv appears at the door with a reserved smile.
"hey caitlin, you're early, beth and steph were just about to head out for a grocery run, care to join them?" she says letting caitlin inside.
"yeah sure," caitlin replies looking over at steph and beth, who are giggling whilst looking at steph's phone. 
"ready to go girls? caitlin's just got here, shes gonna go with you guys," viv says scrambling back to presumably what she was doing before, cleaning the backyard it seemed. 
"you coming with us girly?" beth says grabbing her puffer jacket. 
"yep, nothing to do today unfortunately," caitlin says putting her hands in her hoodie pocket.
they take beth's car to the market, and as soon as she parks, caitlin and steph race to the shopping trolley, none of them wanting to push it. caitlin makes it first and laughs at steph just milliseconds behind her.
"you can push it stephy." caitlin say grinning pulling out the cart for steph.
"so i've got a list here, viv says we need all these things for her dinner tonight, plus probably some extra," beth says as she catches up to them, pulling out her phone.
they wander around the shop, grabbing some ribs, some sauces, greens, flour, and some eggs before heading to the alcohol section.
"beer and wine right?" caitlin says reaching for the budweiser. 
"yeah, scratch the wine, we've got plenty." beth says as caitlin grabs two boxes of 6 beer cans and places them in the trolley.
"can we grab some fruits and protien powder, i've got to restock," steph asks.
