A/N: Here's some more to amuse you guys with.


Brenda was walking around the stadium for the opening ceremonies. She was wearing the silly beret for the American team. She saw Helen there wear her red hat and holding a red leaf for the Canadian team. She waved at her. Helen smiled and waved back. It seemed that she would be able to be friends with Helen if her husband wasn't around yelling at her most of the time. Brenda had never experienced such cruelty before, her uncle had always been kind and supportive. She did not understand why Max was so cruel to Helen.

Brenda was standing there when someone bumped into her. She looked over and saw a boy struggling with his beret. He must have been 17 the most.

"Are you ok?" Brenda asked

"Yeah, sorry this hat is too small for my head" he struggled to get the hat on

"Maybe your head is too big"

The boy struggled to get it on and then gave up.

"I hate this thing!"

"It doesn't look good on you anyways"

"I'm Parker, snowboarding"he extended his hand out to her

"Brenda, figure skating"she shook his hand.

"I heard about you. Everyone thinks you're gonna take the gold"

"You shouldn't believe everything you hear. I didn't know there was a snowboarding team"

"Yeah, we're fairly new, but pretty damn good"

Just then a snowball dashed through the air and hit the boy. He turned his head and saw who threw it.

"You look like hell" Alex yelled out as he approached

"The same could be said for you!" Parker yelled back

"What do they have you wearing now?"

"Stupid hat won't fit"

"Don't know why they bother making you dress up in this stuff"

"Please you'd be wearing a toga the first chance you got"

"Maybe"

Brenda stood there for a moment before Parker turned his attention back to her.

"Oh I'm sorry, this is my cousin Alex" Parker started to say

"You're cousin?"Brenda said in disbelief

"Yes cousin, we're both Greek you know"

"Small world" Brenda said as she walked off coldly

"We met before, informally" Alex said watching her walk off

"What did you do now?"

"Nothing"

"Doesn't look like nothing"


The opening ceremonies began with a bang as always. The crowd anxiously waited for the torch to enter the stadium. There was singing and dancing, and fireworks, and then finally an extravagant way to open the games the lighting of the torch.

Brenda was standing there with excitement as the parade began. She stood there waiting to enter the stadium to hear everyone cheer and call out. This was her first winter game. Her coach and family were out there waiting for her, armed with cameras and a video camera.

Paris and Hector were sitting there in the stands waiting for Brenda. Paris's attention was captured by a blonde holding a red maple leaf.

"Who is that?" Paris asked

"That's Helen, Brenda and I saw her at practice. Her last chance at gold" Peter answered

"She's beautiful" Paris said

"Pay attention brother! We're here for Brenda!" Hector said as he smacked him in the back of his head
