All characters go to their respectful owners of Glee.
"Mom, have you seen my lucky socks? You know I won't make the team without them," yelled the 21 year old blonde hockey player Kitty Wilde. Kitty had recently been asked to go tryout for the Women's Canadian hockey team, and she was ecstatic about it, but worried because she wasn't able to find her lucky socks she always wears under her skates. She and her mom would be leaving the next day to fly to Calgary so she could attend the tryouts, so she needed to pack up all the necessities in order to be ready for the flight tomorrow, and according to Kitty, the most necessary piece she could bring with her are her lucky socks.
"I put them in the top drawer of your night stand where they belong. And sweetie, I really don't think you need your lucky socks, you are an amazing player and you would make the team whether you had those old things or not," replied Kitty's mom.
"She is right you know," said Kitty's 22 year old best friend Spencer Scott. Spencer and Kitty had been best friends since they met freshman year at their all girl's boarding school.
"Maybe, but I don't want to risk it. This is team Canada we are talking about Spence. A once in a life time opportunity, and you know it's always been a dream of mine," replied Kitty.
"Yea, I am aware, it's all you ever talk about; that and how you can never find the right words to actually finish writing a song. Have you actually ever finished a song or are they all just pieces that don't fit together," teased Spencer.
"Shut up," Kitty half joked. "I wish you could come with me to training camp in Calgary. You should ask your parents, it would be really awesome. You always know what to say to get me to focus before a big game so if you're there and I start freaking out before the tryout, you can calm me down."
"Well when do you have to leave?"
"We would be flying out tomorrow around 3:00p.m."
"Okay, I guess it's a good thing that I packed enough clothes for a week, checked with my parents, bought my plane ticket and that my suitcase is downstairs by your door ready to head out tomorrow afternoon," laughed Spencer.
Kitty looked up at her best friend in disbelief. She really didn't think that she would be able to come. "Really?" she questioned. "You aren't just kidding around with me again?"
Spencer nodded her head in response, and was then tackled to the ground in a big hug from her friend. "What was that? Is everything okay up there? What was that big bang?" asked Kitty's mom.
"It was nothing miss W, I just told Kitty that I am allowed to go to Calgary with you guys tomorrow. She just got too excited and decided to tackle hug me," responded Spencer.
"Okay sweetheart, but you two should hurry up and finish packing, we've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow," said Miss Wilde.
"Okay mom, we will. Goodnight."
"Goodnight sweetheart."
"Ah, I still can't believe that you are coming with us," squealed Kitty.
"Well believe it. So what else do you need to pack? I am really tired since it's almost 11:00 and I have been up since 6:00 this morning working an extra shift so that I could fly out with you tomorrow."
"Umm, let's see. My bag is packed, my suitcase is packed, my gym bag is almost packed," replied Kitty as she pulled her lucky socks out of her drawer where her mom said they would be. She placed her lucky socks in her gym bag and zipped it up. "My gym bad is now packed, my toiletries are packed, I guess all that is left is my song book, my teddy bear and my pillow." Kitty grabbed her song book and placed it in her gym bag since lyrics come to her at the most random times. "And I guess I will pack my pillow and teddy bear in the morning since I kind of need them tonight."
"You mean your book that is full of half written songs?" laughed Spencer. "And you're seriously packing Mr. Snuggles? What would everybody think if a 21 year old brings her teddy bear with her?"
"Yes I mean that book, and I never leave without Mr. Snuggles. My dad gave him to me 5 years ago before he died. It's the last thing I have of him."
"I know Kitty. Sorry."
"It's okay Spence. What do you say we get some sleep?" said Kitty.
"Sounds good to me," replied Spencer as she hopped under the blankets. "Turn off the lights while you're up the get to bed."
"Okay," said Kitty as she flipped the light switch then hopped underneath the blankets. "Goodnight Spence."
"Goodnight Kitty. And by the way, I know you will do great on Thursday at training camp. You are the best hockey player I know," replied Spencer groggily.
"Thanks Spence. I hope your right." Before not too long both girls were asleep and the only sound that could be heard was the soft melody of the music coming from the radio.
'Flight 428 to Calgary, Alberta is now boarding'
"I am so pumped, but also so nervous to be doing this," said Kitty to Spencer half way through the plane ride.
"You are going to be fine Kitty. Like I told you yesterday, you are the best hockey player I know. You are not going to have any trouble making the National team."
"Excuse me, I couldn't help but overhear you conversation on my way to the bathroom. Did you say that you were going to the training camp for team Canada's women's hockey team?" asked a small looking brunette.
"Umm, yes I am. Why?" replied Kitty not looking up from her song book.
"That's where I am going to," said the mystery girl happily. "My name is Marley Rose. What's yours?"
At that moment, Kitty looked and noticed that Marley had the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. "Uh, oh, my name is Kitty Wilde and this here is my best friend Spencer," she replied. "It's nice to meet you Marley," said Kitty as she stuck out her hand to shake Marley's.
"It is nice to meet you guys as well," replied Marley.
"Girls you should buckle up, I don't like it when you're not buckled in," said Miss Wilde as she returned from getting the three of them something to drink. "Oh and I see that you two have already made a friend." Miss Wilde looked over at her daughter whose eyes were locked with the blue orbs of Marley.
"Yea Miss W, it looks like we did. And I think she might be around longer than just the plane ride. She is also going to the training camp for the women's National Team," replied Spencer.
"Mom, this is Marley. Marley this is my mom Mary," said Kitty giddily.
"It's nice to meet you Miss Wilde."
"It's nice to meet you to Marley, and call me Mary or Miss W not Miss Wilde. It makes me feel old," replied Miss Wilde. "Did you want to sit here with the girls and talk? I don't mind going to sit in your seat."
"No it's okay Miss Wilde, I mean Mary. My twin brother is over there and I should probably get back to him. It was nice meeting you all, and I guess I will be seeing you on the ice on Thursday then," replied Marley as she looked over at Kitty.
"I guess you will," responded Kitty. And with that, Marley continued her journey to the washroom.
"I will be right back girls; I want to use the washroom before I buckle back in," said Miss Wilde.
"Okay Miss W," replied Spencer. Spencer waited until Kitty's mom was out of earshot before she spoke up again. "What was that about?"
"What was what about?" asked Kitty confused.
"You couldn't take your eyes off of her and you were all giddy."
"No I wasn't. Spence you are starting to see things."
"No I'm not. Both of you were staring at each other," said Spencer with a hint of anger that Kitty didn't pick up on.
"Okay whatever Spence. It's not like I am going to be nice to her when it comes to the tryouts. I want to make this team really badly and nothing is going to get in the way of that. This is the opportunity my dad and I trained for my whole life and I am not about to give it up to someone who eavesdrops," responded Kitty.
"Okay, whatever you say Kitty," said Spencer rolling her eyes as she watched her best friend blush and smile at Marley as she returned to her seat on the plane. Spencer was about to say something about it, but then realized that Miss Wilde was on her way back from the washroom. "We are definitely continuing this conversation later."
"Whatever you say Spence," replied Kitty in annoyance.
"That Marley girl seems really nice," said Miss Wilde as she returned to her seat. "I was just talking to her while we both waited in the mini line for the bathroom. She is from Sudbury. Haven't you played teams from Sudbury before? I wonder if you have ever played against her."
"Maybe I don't know," replied Kitty. Kitty was about to say something to Spencer but then realized that Spencer had her headphones in and her eyes were closed. She knew her best friend well enough to leave her alone. So she decided to do the same, and work on one of her songs. "I am going to try and relax now or write a song, so if you need anything just let me know okay mom?"
"Okay sweetie," replied Miss Wilde. The rest of the plane ride continued without a word between the two best friends. Spencer had fallen asleep, and Kitty was focused on her song book, but not actually getting any words written down.
