I arrive at Kettler an hour early considering I had not much else to do besides continuing to work out, which is what I've been doing all day. When I arrive there are a bunch of the red rockers out on the ice working on basic jumps and spins. I guess I should do the same.

I go to my locker and pull my Edea skates out of it. I lace up my skates and head out to the ice. I warm up as I normally do but when It comes time to jump I don't nearly do half of what I'm capable of because I don't want to act like I'm trying to show anyone up. I do all of my doubles and everyone starts clearing the ice so I manage to squeeze in a triple Salchow. I then follow everyone off of the ice and I notice they're all in uniform. Christina comes up to me with one in her hand. "Adam told me to give you these. There's the Country girl outfit then our normal uniform. The normal uniform is what we're going to use first so you don't really need to worry about the country girl outfit until halftime."

"Thanks," I tell her. "It's no problem we're excited to have you here, Emily's a little bit of a bitch anyways," She says unabashedly causing me to laugh.

"Once we get out uniforms on we're going to go over the dances, so you might want to hurry up since almost everyone's got theirs on," Christina says and smiles at me reassuringly.

I get dressed quickly, I eye the outfit in the mirror and it's almost slutty in comparison to the typically revealing outfits I wear as a figure skater anyways. However once I get on the ice I feel more comfortable. We begin to run through the dances and once we get to country girl I notice that the whole capitals team is in here watching us. That means Peter's here, but on the other hand that means that Four is here.

I notice more than half of the girls get off of the ice and I look at Marlene and Christina, "Why'd everyone leave?" I ask. "Oh this dance is only for people who have strong freestyle skills and it's kind of bad considering barely any of us do but Shauna, Lauren, and Molly have a few of their doubles so we decided to incorporate that into a dance. Then Marlene and I are the only ones besides them who have all of their singles so it was kind of thrown together that way."

"Oh," I mutter and then the music comes on. When the song starts I decide that I'm going to kill this routine. We do the whole dance then once the whole showcase thing begins I get excited. I do a death drop spin that I pull up into an I-Spin which is basically a bow-and-arrow. I spin for 8 revolutions in each position then I exit the spin. There's still about thirty seconds of music left so I do one of my combinations. A Triple flip-triple toe-double loop. I land it perfectly and I smile to myself. For the remaining fifteen seconds I do a Bielmann spiral which most people refer to as a scorpion, when the music is almost over we all return to a circle in the middle of the rink and do the first eight count of the dance again then we finish. To my surprise there's actually applause from the hockey team although it possibly could just be because of our outfits.

We all exit the ice and I take of my skates putting them in my lululemon bag. We're all escorted to the charter busses and since there's only 16 of us. And twenty of them we all share a bus. Before we board the bus I spot Four and his eyes were already on me. I smile at him and he returns the smile. I want to sit with him, but he probably has a prior commitment with a teammate or something. After everyone's done boarding the only seat that's empty is the one next to mine. Until Adam comes on the bus, anyways. "Prior, I'm giving you a raise. You put on quite the show at practice and I'm a firm believer in Karma so I'm going to double your pay," He says. I try not to question it but I can't resist, "Wait why?"

"Just because what goes around comes around, since I'm doing something nice for you then that means that something good will happen to me," He says and I smile. I don't quite think that's how it works, Is what I want to say, but I don't feel like killing his vibe so I decide to let him be happy. Maybe he just really wants to win tonight? Once the engine of the bus has started of course someone else comes on, Adams wife. Adam took the last seat so of course now I feel compelled to move. I stand up and let her sit down. "You didn't have to do that for me but thank you," she says.

I get up and realize that there is one more empty seat, but it's between Peter and Drew all the way in the back. I feel a panic attack coming on. I scan the seats for Four and once I find him. "Hey, um… I had to give up my seat for Adam's wife and now the only seat that's available is next to Peter and I really don't want to sit there so can I sit on your lap or something? Oh my god I'm sorry that sounded so bad ugh now you must think I'm coming on too strong… I'm sorr-" He cuts me off.

"Edward, can you go sit back next to Peter?" Four asks the guy next to him and he complies. "Thank you, I'm sorry for talking so much, sometimes I ramble to get out of uncomfortable situations," I say.

"Don't worry it was kind of cute," He says and my heart starts racing. He thinks I'm cute? Is my first thought which is followed by, He thinks I'm cute. Holy Shit. I smile at him

We drive to the Verizon center. Four and I talk for the entire bus ride. They're playing the New York Rangers today who've been playing really well this year then again so have the Capitals so it'll probably be an evenly matched game.

"Oh by the way is there any way I could get your number?" Four asks me. I swear my mouth opens a little in shock but I recover and nod, "yeah sure." He hands me his phone and I put my info in then I text my number from his phone so I'll have his number too. "I'd ask you to go out after the game but unfortunately I have to hang out with these assholes for the rest of the night." He says in a joking manner referencing to his team mates. Its nice that it seems like more of an obligation related to their team camaraderie than an annoyance to him.

The bus arrives and we all get out of the bus. Four and I head our separate ways and I smile to myself a little and Christina nearly gives me a heart attack by jumping on my back.
