Prolog:
"AHHHHHHHH!" a piercing scream rang through the ice rink. All heads turned to the coaches office.
"Hey Foss, was that Gaffney?" A slender red head boy asked totally bewildered.
"Think so, Tom! Hey goalie what's up?" Instead of an answer, Foss, short for Mike Foster, Captain of the Maine Junior Team received a bear hug from his goalie Julie Gaffney who just flew out of the office and into his arms. A few seconds later he was freed and he finally could take a breath again. Now everyone of the team stared at their captain and goalie. "Jules what's up? What happened?" Foss asked once more this time with a slightly worried trace. And again all he received was a strangled scream and a squeeze from the best Junior goalie on this side of the Mississippi. Chuckling coach Cain watched this little show. He got the impression that the team wouldn't hear an answer any time soon from Julie and so he took pity in them and told them what he just told his goalie: "Guys, I just got a letter from the committee of the Goodwills and they want our cat-lady to be on their team to represent America." Shouts of joy and proud rang in his ears. Yes, that was exactly the reaction he anticipated from those guys. Always supportive and never jealous of one of their own. This time Julie found herself in an enormous embrace with Foss. Andrew Cain always thought that Gaffney and Foss would be a real cute couple. He was the tall, lean, cultivated, strong, gentle, handsome, blond leader-type and she was the tough, little, beautiful girl from a rich family. But somehow it hadn't worked out between them. But they were much too young for a real relationship anyways.. ..
Tow hours later Julie sat on a chair next to her best friend and team member Geoey Hancock, who resided in bed in whose room, and told her for the 74th time, Geoey counted it, that she would go to the Junior Goodwills. Geoey was truly happy for her friend but by now she couldn't hear it anymore. If she had her mind she would have jumped up and either strangled Julie or ran out of the room on top speed. But unfortunately neither was an option cause her recently dislocated knee detained her from doing so. So she took a low step and did what her brother taught her on their vacation. Geoey picked up a CD, one she didn't like very much, from her nightstand and threw it sure of her aim at the side of Julies head. And to her deepest pleasure it had the desired effect. Julie stopped talking about the Goodwills. "Hey, that hurt!"
"Good!"
"What? Why did you do that?" Confusion showed in Julies request.
"Since you got here, one hour and 37 minutes ago, you rambled on about the Goodwills straight. Stop it, okay? Just stop it!" Her enraged friend shouted. One irritated look of Julie later, the goalie was overcome by a wave of guilt. A day after Geoey came back from her holydays with her brother, that was 1 and a half weeks ago, they had a hockey-game. Geoey was an offence player and during that game she was checked brutally and dislocated her right knee. And what was even worse Geoey had worked a long time very hard so that she would be recognized by a scout. It was always her dream to go to the Goodwills. And now because of her knee she could simply forget about it. Julie felt immediately like the worst person on earth. How could she have done that to her best friend? Julie and Geoey were best friends ever since Geoey moved in next to her. Geoey's mother had married Pete Hancock after the divorce of her former husband and they moved in here from Evanston, Illinois. The girls were five around that time. Geoey, well actually Geosephine and just Julie and her family was allowed to call her Geoey, everyone else was restricted to Geosey, has a twin brother, Dorian whatever, but he stayed with his father in Illinois. Because Dorian didn't like Pete, Geoey always spend her holidays with him and her father. And about a year after she and her mother and Pete had moved to Boston, after one of Geoeys visits to the other half of her family, she came back with a huge passion for ice-hockey, she got it from her twin, and not much later Julie also became addicted to that sport. "Oh gawd Geoey, I'm so sorry. Where was my mind? I'm so sorry! I hadn't thought."
"Okay Jules apology accepted. Let's just stop talking about the Goodwills okay?!" And a short but eager nod of Jules later she went on with an evil grin on her face: "Let's talk about your love life." Now it was Julies turn to become unnerved. She so hated that topic, but as much as she hated it Geoey loved it. Since they stared to become interested in boys Geoey hadn't stopped trying to set her up. First she tried it with a rather cute boy from their class. They both agreed that that was no good. Then she tried to set her up with an exchange student from Sweden. That was plain useless cause that guy couldn't say one English sentence and they couldn't communicate. After that came three blind dates, that only left her frustrated. Next came Bobby, surprisingly that went very well .. for about two weeks then he broke her heart. Julie would rather forget about that whole Bobby incident if it hadn't been for the fact that Geoey in return for her best friend's broken heart broke Bobby's nose. After that came Enrique. Another exchange student, this time from the west coast. Two dates later the girls agreed to put him in the ´goodnight, I think it's best to let us never see each other again`-box. After that came Johnny. Good looking, great kisser but totally brainless: Second in the ´box`. Then there was Don: drop dead boring. Third in the box. Then Mitch, that was terrible. Next was Eddi, that was horrible. He was followed by Foss. That was actually a very nice time, but they were too good friends so that it didn't really work out. After that came Logan. That guy was six years older than she was. First she refused to go but Geoey insisted. After four dates it was clear it wouldn't work out, the age difference and with that the differences in taste and hobbies and preferences were just too big. And now, after her vacation in Illinois Geoey had the idée fixe to set Julie up with her twin Dorian. "Geoey please, not the Dorian story again!" Julie sighed exasperate.
"Why not? You would make such a great couple. I just know it!" The expectant look was nearly to much for Jules.
"You also knew it with Bobby, and Eddi and Mitch..!"
"Okay yeah, those were mistakes. But I know my brother!"
"Geoey please!" Julies whine did nothing to Geoey's exuberance.
"No Julie. You really would be perfect for each other. He likes hockey, he has brains even if it doesn't seem like that on first sight, he's fun, he likes to train like you and he's even really, really good looking. It's the ´drop dead, drool on your feet, oh my gawd: yummy` kind of gorges. I know you haven't met him up to now, and there are no pictures of him after our 8th birthday cause he doesn't like it, but you have to believe me he is wow. If he wouldn't be my bro I would go for him."
"That sounds real good, sugar. But I think you have forgotten what you told me just before you went on your vacation. He is a rowdy, he's a brut, he's unreliable and what did you say?.. oh yeah that is my favorite and I quote you on that one: He's a mighty bit out of his mind. So my answer is no. No, no, no and once again no!"
"Oh please Jules, please! Oh pretty, pretty, pretty please."
"No!"
"Please!"
"No!"
"PLEASE!"
"NO!"
"Oh please, please, please, please, please! Just one date. Just one single date! Oh please, darling, please! .. .. Oh and by the way, you owe me one for the 74 mentions of the Junior Goodwills in the last two hours." At that moment her facial expressions changed from pleading to smug. And from the defeated look of her best friend Geoey knew she had won.
"Okay, okay. I'll do it. But just one date! Promise!" Now it was Julie that pleaded.
"Very well. I promise."
"Good. But just under one condition."
"And that'd be?"
"I'll just go, if I haven't found someone else while I'm at the Goodwills!" Geoey pondered that request for a second and finally agreed. But there was still one thing left to say: "Jules you have to face it."
"What?" Suspicion was written on her face.
"You are soooo whipped." At that comment the teddy that Jules had clutched the whole time flew square through the room and hit it's mark: Geoey's face. And both girls started to laugh.
