A/N- okay so some of you got like 8 updates because I changed the names so I could use this as a fanfiction story. I wanted to make sure that I got more readers and the best way to do that was by makeing it about Bella and edward. now some of you are like wait I haven't seen Edward yet (if you've actually gone threw and re-read it) and thats because he hasnt come in yet. I know where he is going to come in but it might take a couple chapters to get there but dont worry all good things come to those who wait. now one last thing I love you all and for the first time I can officaly put a disclaimer on here because I'm using twilight characters so

Disclaimer: Most characters belong to Stephanie Meyer I'm just playing with them.

Chapter 8 – Games on the bus

We were all really upset when we took off on the road the next day. I wanted to be in a good mood like I usually am but it wasn't happening today. I think that it was because I was surrounded by so many people that were in a bad mood. Even listening to music didn't put me in a good mood like it usually does. I mean I know that we can't win every game so I don't know why it was getting to me. I think the fact that we were winning and that we had played well the first period and then our game fell apart that was making me upset. What was upsetting was that we just gave them the game we practically gift wrapped it and put a bow on it for them. I can think of so many mistakes that we made in the second and third period. The question that we were all pondering is what happened?

I figured it wasn't doing any good to dwell in the past and I know that we will loose or next fame if we keep ourselves down like this so it was time to play a game to make everyone happy.

We kept a ton of board games on the bus so we would have something to do on our long road trip and I know the other guys were feeling down.

"Okay boys if we want to win in Colorado we have to get over this defeatist mood we're in. lets play a game or something?"

There were plenty of mumbles about not doing it until Nate Strickland stood up. He was the captain so everyone listened to him.

"Guys, Bella is right we have to do something/"

They continued to mumble while they got up to sit by us. Since there were so many of us we couldn't play a normal board game so we thought of other things to do.

"Let's play spoons" I suggested, "we keep a bag of plastic spoons in the cabinet above the microwave and it's a fun game. I can go grab a couple of decks of cards"

I shuffled the cards and dealt them out to all the boys. It took like 5 decks to make sure everyone would get some cards and still have a deck to pass around. Spoons have always been my favorite game. We started playing and the mood of the bus changed. Suddenly everyone is having fun. I was watching Jacob because he was acting suspicious. He slowly started to move his hand towards the spoons and he grabbed one and slowly slipped it up the sleeve of his shirt. He looked over at me and winked while I grabbed a spoon and snuck it up the sleeve of my shirt as well. We sat there play waiting for someone to catch on. Slowly people started catching on when the noticed there were less spoons then we started with. Soon everyone had a spoon except Jasper and we just kept passing the cards around. I coughed and Jasper looked at me weird and then he looked to the center of the circle. It was funny to watch realization dawn on his face. Jasper threw his cards down visibly upset that we let him continue to play for so long.

"Come on guys" Jasper shouted "What's the point of the game if your going to play all quite like."

We all burst out laughing. At that moment, everyone was happy. It was way to funny to see Jasper mad and he seemed genuinely upset that we let him lose.

The next round of spoons was normal. We were all laughing and stealing spoons out of each others hands.

In the end, it was just me and Nikolas Backstrom playing. He has really good reflexes so I was being carful. I was super determined to win and I wasn't going to let Nik stand in the way of me winning. When I got the last card I needed I kept passing some on to Nik. I slowly slipped the spoon to me and then I jumped up and started shouting and dancing. Soon I started singing " I am the champion, I am the champion, I am the Champion of the world." Soon everyone was laughing. I could tell that everyone's sprits had been successfully lifted and it made me feel good.

(A/N I was going to stop here but that would be kind of mean right?)

The rest of the road trip to Colorado was – for lack of better words- interesting. We ate slept and played pranks on one another.

Jasper plastic wrapped the opening in the toilet one day. He wasn't very happy when coach made him clean up the mess. Everyone was pranking people but I seemed to be the prim target. It started simple, itching powder on my blankets. And hot sauce in my tooth paste but slowly they started to get more creative. One night while I was sleeping they stole my Ipod, deleted all my music off it and synced it up to Jasper's music library. Jasper doesn't listen to normal music either. He likes the weird stuff he has some Tecno, and some indi rock, and jazz. I wasn't very happy about it. Especially since I had to wait till we got back to Minnesota to put my normal music back on my Ipod. Then they took the book that I was reading and removed every other page for three chapters. To say I was confused when I was reading it is an understatement. They offered to get me another book but I don't think I would be able to read it because I had gotten so confused.

Then when I slept the took a block of cement and tied it to my ankle. I was super confused when I woke up and couldn't take a step. I have no idea where they got the block of cement but I give them props for the prank. When we were almost to Colorado a plan developed in my head. I had read about some new shampoo that could dye hair and it came in pink. I think its time for these boys to get their hair done.

When we got to Colorado, I went to the store and bought 20 bottles of hair dye. Then when the boys were taking their stuff to the locker room, I mixed the dye together in one big bottle. The boys always left their shampoos in the shower room after practice in the morning. They also always let me shower first after the games. So it was the perfect opportunity to make there hair pink. I went emptied out all of their shampoos and filled it with the pink dye. I figured the prank would be even funnier since we had to play the Canucks tomorrow.

Soon I was done with the dye, showered, and changed. I walked out to the locker room and talked with coach while the boys showered. Coach and I talked about the game and strategies. But our talk stopped when the first scream came ringing through the locker room. I of course burst out laughing while coach gave a quizzical look.

"I finally got them back for all the stuff they pulled on me this week." I stated

"Oh no what did you do to my boys Bella?"

"Nothing that won't wash out in a couple of weeks."

Just then Jasper came running and he picked me up ad swung me around. I noticed that his hair wasn't pink and it disappointed me a little bit.

"That was the best prank ever you should have seen all the pink hair. Why didn't you tell me I totally could have helped?"

"Jasper out me down" I screamed and he placed me back on my feet. "why isn't your hair pink?"

"Well you were in the shower longer then normal and I figured that you were looking for revenge so I grabbed your shampoo and body wash figuring that it would be safe"

I was a little concerned that he had no problem smelling like a girl. I was also kind of angry that he Jasper had figured it out. But I was also really proud of him for figuring in out to.

"Well" I said" I'm waiting for the parade of pink."

I could already tell that it was going to be a long night. And just in case your wondering. We beat the Avalanche 2-1.
