AN: So here's chapter 3. Sorry it took so long but I was on vacation two weeks ago and this past week was hellish cuz it was the end of the term. Anyways here is the chapter. Hope you enjoy! And the name comes from a Rolling Stones song from the album Let It Bleed.

Chapter 3

July, 1979- Colorado Springs, Colorado

"Hughes, Ross, Auge, Delich, Horsch, Strobel, Christoff, Morrow, Suter, Ramsey, Janaszak, Christian, Pavelich, Verchota, Baker, Harrington, Schneider, O'Callahan, McClanahan, Silk, Johnson, Craig, Cox, Eruzione. And that's the roster for now. The rest of you thanks for coming out."

The guys all congratulated their friends back shaking hands or giving a pat on the back. Then Coach Brooks came out and gave them a talk about how they had to give it their best on the ice all the time. Jack didn't listen that much since he was too excited bout getting a spot on the team.

After the talk, the assistant coach, Craig Patrick, gave the guys a little 'homework', which actually turned out to be a 300 question test. The guys all shrugged it off and planned to do it later at the local bar they saw on their way to the rink. As they the four BU guys were about to leave, they ran into an old friend Ralph Cox. They met him a couple years back at an All-Star game.

"I can't believe practically everybody their was from Minnesota,"Silk complained as the five drove back to the hotel.

"What do you expect? Brooks is coaching, remember?" Jimmy told him.

"I think I was the only one from UNH that was there," Cox added.

Meanwhile, OC was in the front seat of the car and Rizzo was driving. They had their own conversation about the tryouts.

"I can't believe that cheap shot came," OC sighed.

"C'mon OC, just try your best to let it go," Rizzo tried knowing it was no use.

Before OC could reply, the three guys in the back joined in their conversation, asking their opinion bout something.

"Hey, do you think Brooks will cut us cuz he likes the Minnesotans better?" Silk asked.

"No," Rizzo answered, "Why would he ask us to tryout if he just wanted guys from the University?"

"That's what I said!" Jimmy exclaimed.

"What were you two talking bout anyways?" Cox asked.

"Nothing,"OC replied, "Nothing at all."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile Mac, Mark, and a couple of the guys who got on all went out to McDonalds for lunch. They were starving and also having a mini celebration for making it on the team.

"These tests are so retarded," Phil said as he took a big bite of his burger and looked down at the test.

"Yeah, I just want to get it over with," Jannie said already filling in some answers.

"Can you fill in some of mine too?" Phil joked.

The table all laughed and Jannie just rolled his eyes and got back to his test.

"Whatever, we can just do them tonight at that bar down the street from the hotel," Mark said.

"Yeah then I'll be so drunk, I wouldn't even remember doing it," Phil laughed.

"Maybe we can get him to answer the questions wrong," Bah said quietly to Buzz and Mac.

"So Mac I'm surprised you didn't get into a fight with that Jack O'Callahan guy," Ramsey spoke up.

"Me too. In the locker room I was talking to one of the BU guys...Eruzione," Mac remembered meeting him earlier that day.

"Yeah I know him from the National team a few years back. He's pretty cool," Buzz told the group.

"Maybe it won't be so bad," Mark smiled.

"We're gonna make it after all..."Phil jokingly sang.

Later that night

Jack angrily slammed the hotel room door. He just got back from hanging out with the guys at the bar and he was pissed. Things were going fine until Rob McClanahan showed up, and waved to Rizzo. And worse was that nobody was pissed about the '76 playoffs. He still hates McClanahan for stealing the ring from him and everyone laughed at him cuz of it.

It was about 11:30 and he had nothing else to do. The only thing on was the news and a Brady Bunch marathon that he didn't want to watch at all. He decided to call Conway, cuz he forgot to earlier and he wanted to tell her that he made it. He hadn't seen her since she left for Minnesota two weeks before but they still talked on the phone a lot.

He dialed her number and after the third ring she picked up the phone.

"Hello," he heard her groggily answer.

"Hey Conway. What's up?" he asked.

"I was asleep dilhole. Your an hour behind me in Colorado," she complained.

"Sorry bout that. But I got on the team!" he exclaimed, hoping she wouldn't still be pissed for waking her up.

"I know," she yawned.

"How?" he was surprised, he only told his parents and his sister.

"Everybody knows, Jack!" she was furious, she only called him Jack when she was mad, "I was the last to know. VON LIBERMAN FOUND OUT BEFORE I DID!"

"I'm really really sorry," he tried to apologize to his best friend, "I was really busy today and only talked to my dad for like five minutes."

"Whatever. But the next time my best friend makes the Olympic team I'd like to hear it from him, not Betty Peterson."

"You talked to Betty Peterson?!?"

"Yeah she called and wanted to throw you a party. Little bitch..."

Jack wanted to get off the subject, "So hows the job search going?"

"I finally got a job at a local bar. The hours are alright and it's only at night so I can go to day classes," she told him.

"A bar? Do you even know how to make drinks?" he asked.

"Nah, I'm just gonna be a waitress instead. Cuz it was either this or Hooters," she laughed.

"How long do you have to work before you can get your 'stang?" he asked.

"A while," she groaned, "Cuz a waitress doesn't make much. But I can do it."

"Do you want me to talk to the team physician bout getting a job for you. Your already sorta qualified and it's extra money," he offered.

"Maybe. But I might be busy. Thanks though," she replied.

"Welcome"

"So hows the team? Did Rizzo and Jimmy and Silky get on too?" Conway asked.

"Yeah. And Ralph Cox from UNH. You met him a couple years ago at the bar after the All Star game," he tried to trigger her memory.

"Oh yeah. He was cool."

"And that panzey McClanahan got on too..." OC shrugged.

"That sucks. Just forget about him. Is it definite that he'll stay on. Cuz I heard that a couple more guys are going home. He could get cut..."

"Doubt it. He's like Brooks' golden boy. But yeah there are like six players getting cut. Not me of course," he laughed.

"Naturally," she joked back, "So when you coming up here? You need to help me clean out my grandparent's old house..."

She had been living there for the two weeks she was in Minnesota and planned to live there until school began. But the house was a rental and she had to move her grandparents stuff out of it by the new year, so a new family could move in.

"I'm leaving on Wednesday for Boston and I'll be out there by Saturday," he explained.

"Good. I can't wait to see you. There's not much here in Minnesota and I'm pretty bored..."

"Yeah maybe we can tip some cows or something"

Annie looked at th time and it was now 1 in the morning. She was pretty tired and needed to get some sleep.

"Call me back later cuz I gotta go to sleep."

"Night."

"Night."

So that was chapter 3. Did you like it? Please Review!
