A/N: Hi guys! So I'm sorry if this chapter is really long! I had sudden inspiration and I had a lot of detail to add about the date. Hopefully you like it! Review your opinion! And thanks xlabx7 for betaing! Best beta ever! And I still, very sadly, don't own the Rangers!

Carolina POV:

When we got to the lobby where the rest of the team stood I was star struck. I had imagined meeting these guys ever since I had become a Rangers fan at the age of five. Now I was practically on a date with one of my favorite players. Dream come true! I glanced over to Scarlet and she had the biggest grin on her face. She looked over at me and we both laughed for no apparent reason.

Dubi leaned over to us and whispered, "Just a warning Steps brought his girlfriend with him so you guys wouldn't be the only girls. She is a little judgmental so don't take anything personal. She does it to everyone."

"Ok." I said.

"Let's go meet the rest of the guys." Boyle said.

I let Dubi lead me and mentally named all of the guys since I knew all of their names by memory. Finally Dubi brought me over to Henrik Lundqvist, who is my favorite Ranger player of all time. He's the best goalie ever in my opinion.

"Carolina this is-" Dubi started but was cut off by me saying, "Henrik Lundqvist, aka Hank. Carolina, huge fan of yours." He stuck out his hand and I gladly shook it.

"Obviously a huge Rangers fan, Dubi." He replied.

"Since I was five." I said with a laugh.

"She's a keeper." He said with a wink and walked away.

"You've been a Rangers fan since you were five? Wow!" Dubi said in shock but quickly recovered.

He led me over to Steps and his girlfriend. She looked familiar to me. She had dirty blonde almost light brown hair with blue tips and brownish hazelish eyes. I couldn't put my finger on it. It was troubling me now.

"Hi! I'm Derek Stepan. You can call me Steps though. You must be Carolina. Dubi has been going on and on about you." Steps said making me laughed. "This is my girlfriend, Maxine." He said, that's when it clicked.

"Maxine Sheller?" I asked her. She nodded. That would be why I recognized her. We used to be really good friends back in New York. Then she moved to Pittsburgh 10 years ago. Now she was apparently dating Steps. Not bad.

"Carolina Tailson?" She asked. I nodded and we both smiled.

"You guys know each other?" Steps asked.

"Yeah. We used to be good friends. But I moved to Pittsburgh and then we lost touch." Maxine replied.

"Yeah long time no see Maxy." I said. Suddenly Scarlet was behind me with Boyle. Only then did it occur to me that with her heels she was almost as tall as him. Then I remembered that Maxine had never met Scarlet. I hoped Maxy won't be to skeptical of Scarlet. Maxine isn't the most trusting person.

"Scarlet this is Maxine, Maxine this is Scarlet." I said quickly. All my hopes were abandoned Maxine seemed skeptical of Scarlet though she quickly masked it. They shook hands and we made some small talk.

"Let's go to this cool French restaurant we made reservations for. They have bunny!" Hank said as he walked up to us.

"But I don't want to eat the Easter Bunny!" Steps and Maxine said in unison which made me laugh and realize just how perfect they were together.

Finally we got to the restaurant. It was very formal. We got seated and of course Maxine, still being the crazy girl that left ten years ago, made Scarlet, Dubi, Boyle, Steps, and I try the bunny with her. It tasted like chicken. Maxine then went into a story about how when she went to Paris with her mom she tried rabbit for the first time.

"You were right it tasted like chicken." I said recalling the conversation we had about it.

"When am I not right?" she asked me.

"Never." Scarlet said trying to join the conversation.

"Debatable." I said as I took a sip of wine. Everyone laughed including Maxy who punched me playfully in the arm.

"Hey didn't you lose your mom on the Paris streets?" I asked her recalling another one of our many conversations we had when she was there.

"Oh my gush yes!" she replied and went on with that story.

After about two hours we finished dinner with the guys which was very eventful and full of fun conversation. Everyone on the team except Boyle, Dubi, and Steps decided to head back to the hotel. Boyle decided to walk Scarlet home so we said our goodbyes to them.

Scarlet POV:

This night was awesome. Maxine seemed like fun. I can tell why Carolina liked her. She was funny as heck! But of course I had to go back early so I could get up early enough to get ready and wake Carolina up before the 12:30PM game we were going to tomorrow. Boyle was nice enough to walk me home. Once we got to the front steps I turned around to face him. I was about to say good night when he kissed me. We kissed for a good minute before he pulled away.

"I gotta get back to the hotel. But I'll see you tomorrow at the game. Ok?" He asked.

"Yeah. See you tomorrow Brian!" I replied. He kissed my hand and disappeared into the night.

I took out my phone and texted Carolina.

MEANWHILE

Maxine POV:

I can't believe that I get to see Carolina again! I missed her… a little. I mean we weren't the best of friends but we were close. When I had to move I could tell she was crushed. But she obviously found a new friend named Scarlet. She rubs me the wrong way though. I don't know why; she just does. I guess I'll ignore it for Carolina's sake.

"WHO WANTS ICE CREAM?" My insanely funny and hot boyfriend, Derek, asked sounding like a hyper four year old.

I exchanged a look with Carolina and Dubi and we all screamed, "ME!" The guys started running toward the shop. Carolina and I quickly slipped our heels off and ran after them giggling like school girls. When we made it to the ice cream place the guys were waiting at one of the many tables.

"What kind of ice cream do you guys want?" Derek asked.

"Chocolate with chocolate sauce on top! Oh and m&ms or miny chocolate chunks!" I replied happily as I took the seat closest to him.

"Carolina?" he asked.

"Coffee ice cream with gummy worms please." She replied taking the only other seat which was right next to Dubi.

"Oh, Carolina, you haven't changed one bit in the past ten years!" I exclaimed. I flashed back to one of the many times we went out for ice cream. We had raced to the ice cream shop on the corner of msin street. The last person there had to buy the ice cream. We had tied but she paid anyway. I had gotten chocolate with chocolate sauce and m&ms and she had gotten coffee ice cream with gummy worms. We had sat down in a booth and I told her that her ice cream looked like mud with worms crawling in it. We laughed for awhile at that comment.

"I hope I'm not the same as I was back then! I was so short when I was fifteen!" Carolina exclaimed bringing me back to reality. I had been fourteen when I had left.

"Don't worry. You grew about an inch or two taller." I said taunting her.

Finally Derek came back with the ice cream. We immediately dug in. Within five minutes I was done. I got up, threw out my garbage and sat back down.

"Thanks babe." I said as I kissed him on the cheek. Suddenly I got a delayed brain freeze. "Oo! Brain freeze!" I exclaimed clutching my head.

"Open your mouth." Derek said. I did as I was told and he placed his thumb on the roof of my mouth. I giggled. Soon everyone was done with their ice cream and we headed back to the hotel. Derek and I were ahead of Dubi and Carolina.

I could tell that she loved Dubi. Especially because he was all she could talk about. I glanced over my shoulder to see the cutest scene ever. Dubi had his arm across her shoulders and she was leaning her head on his arm. They were whispering about something. I couldn't make out what they were saying though. I saw Carolina start looking towards me and I quickly turned my head around with a smirk on my face. Derek held his hand out for me and I gladly took it. We walked back to the hotel and went up the stairs so that Dubi and Carolina could have some privacy.

Carolina's POV:

After ice cream we walked back to the hotel. Steps and Maxy were ahead of us. Dubi and I were lagging behind. He had his arm draped across my shoulders and I was leaning my head on his arm. We were talking about hockey. At one point I caught Maxine looking at us with a smirk on her face I was going to call her out on it but decided against it.

All too soon we got back to the hotel. Steps and Maxy took the stairs and we got the elevator. We had said our goodbyes in the lobby since according to Dubi, who I really should start referring to as Brandon, they might be a while in the stairs. My mind started to wonder on that and I shuddered at my realization. Finally we walked down the hall and got to my room.

"Night Brandon! See you at the game tomorrow!" I said.

"Yep!" He replied cheerfully. I'm hoping that it was because he was excited to be able to see me again. He turned around and went to his room and I closed the door to mine. I opened my clutch to find that I had 2 new messages from Scarlet.

OMG! Brian KISSED ME! Is what the first message said. The second said, REPLY!

I decided to ignore the last one and wait a while to. I was too tired to text her back. I quickly changed into sweats and a long sleeved shirt. I fell asleep thinking about what a wonderful night I had and the hockey game tomorrow.

Again guys! R&R! What do you think? Any ideas for the next chappie? Also thanks again xlabx7 for betaing this!
