Annie sat under the old oak tree, the magic racket resting in her lap. The summer sky was painted with streaks of pink and orange, but she was too busy dreaming to notice.

Her fingers tightened around the handle. “Where will you take me this time?” she whispered. A sudden warmth spread through her palms. The air around her began to shimmer, and in an instant, she was somewhere else entirely.

She felt the grass beneath her feet before she even looked up. A hush fell over the crowd. When she lifted her head, she realized she was standing at Centre Court, Wimbledon.

The scoreboard glowed in the sunlight: Wimbledon Final, 1953 – Maureen Connolly vs. Doris Hart.

Sammy sat on the bench, his head down, his fingers nervously tapping against his shin pads. His team was about to play in the biggest match of the season, but he felt invisible. No one believed he could make a difference. He wasn’t the biggest or the strongest, and he wasn’t even sure if he would get to play.

His magic football rested beside him, glowing faintly. He barely noticed—until it suddenly pulsed brightly. Before he could react, the world spun around him. When everything settled, he found himself in a roaring stadium. The scoreboard flashed: UEFA WOMEN’S EURO FINAL – ENGLAND vs. GERMANY, 2022.

Charlie sat on the edge of the field after practice, spinning a rugby ball in his hands. His kicking had been off all week. He had missed two crucial kicks in the last match, and now his confidence was shattered. "Maybe I’m just not a good kicker," he muttered. "Maybe I should leave it to someone else."

Then, just like before—whoosh. The wind swirled around him, and suddenly, Charlie found himself in a packed stadium. The year? 1999. The match? South Africa vs. England in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinal.

Jamie wiped the sweat from her forehead, staring at the empty track ahead. She had already won. She had already beaten her personal best in training today. She could stop now, right? But something inside her whispered, “Is this all you can do?”

She reached into her bag, fingers brushing against the old she found. Whoosh. The world around her shifted.

Now, she was in Tokyo. The year was 2021.

Izzy stood at the crease, his heart pounding. 99 runs. Just one more for his first-ever century. The field was tight, the pressure immense. He tapped his bat, took a deep breath, and faced the bowler. The delivery was short—his favorite shot. He rocked back, aiming to pull it to the boundary. Crack!

The ball soared high, but not far enough. The fielder sprinted, dived—and caught it. Izzy stood frozen. Out for 99. The walk back felt endless. His teammates clapped, but all he felt was disappointment. He sank onto a bench, staring at the scoreboard.

His magic ball tingled. The world blurred, and suddenly—he was somewhere else. The crowd around him wore old-fashioned suits and hats. The scoreboard read: Australia vs. England – The Oval, 1948.

Izzy’s breath caught. This was Don Bradman’s final Test.

Annie sat under the big oak tree, gripping the magic racket tightly. The summer breeze rustled the leaves above her, but she barely noticed. Her heart pounded with excitement.

"Where to this time?" she whispered. The racket tingled in her hands, growing warmer by the second. Suddenly, the world around her blurred. The sound of sneakers squeaking on a hard court filled her ears. A stadium came into view, golden sunlight casting long shadows across the court. Annie gasped.

She was standing courtside at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul. The scoreboard flashed: Women’s Singles Final – Steffi Graf vs. Gabriela Sabatini.

Sammy stood at the edge of the pitch, nervously adjusting his jersey. He had just been called up to play in an older age group, and everything felt different—the players were taller, stronger, more experienced.

He swallowed hard. What if I’m not ready? The magic football by his feet began to glow. Not now, Sammy thought, but before he could react, the world spun around him. When everything settled, he was no longer on his home field. The air was electric, the stadium enormous, packed with thousands of roaring fans.

A massive screen above him flashed: UEFA EURO 2024 FINAL – SPAIN vs. ENGLAND.

Charlie wiped the sweat off his forehead as he walked off the field. Another tough training session. His legs ached, his lungs burned, but something else weighed on him. "Maybe I’ve played enough rugby," he thought. "Maybe it's time to move on."

Lately, he felt like he had done it all—played countless matches, scored tries, tackled hard. But the fire inside him didn’t burn as brightly as it once did. He plopped onto his bed, tossing his rugby ball in the air. Then, that familiar whoosh of wind filled the room.

Before he could react, Charlie was no longer in his bedroom. He was standing on the sidelines of a massive stadium. The floodlights shone brightly, the crowd roared, and in the center of it all was a figure he recognized immediately—Maa Nonu.

Charlie’s eyes widened. It was 2025. Nonu, at 42 years old, was about to make history as the oldest player to feature in the Top 14.
