Hockey Love
"Lita how in the world did you get such good seat? I mean five seats only 1 row from the ice, that had to cost a bundle." Serena said in awe, as she sat waiting for the start of what would turn out to be her first of many hockey games. Lita, Ami, Rei, Mina and Serena were at the opening game of the Atlanta Thrashers. The time was 6:45 PM, and the girls had gotten to the relatively new Philips Arena early to wonder and shop for souvenirs.
"Serena, I've already told you, I got these seats from Ken's company. But if you must know, just look on the ticket stub. $150.00 a piece."
"Lita, aren't these season ticket seats? That means these are some good seats." Rei said. The conversation continued on with small talk and about the game of hockey itself; it was the first game for everyone except Lita. As the girls were talking both teams came out for their before game practice. As the conversation continued Serena zoned out and started watching the practices. Serena was focusing on the little black dots on the ice, she thought Lita called them pucks, but to her they looked like black ding-dong snack cakes. As the players skated by, Serena started focusing on their names and faces. There was one guy Serena couldn't keep her eyes off of; and not known to her, he couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
"Earth to Serena, come in meatball head. Hello? Are we on the moon or something right now?" Rei was saying, not realizing that Serena was preoccupied with the cutie on the ice.
*POW!* A puck crashed against the glass right in front of Serena bringing her back to reality. "AGH! Oh my gosh, that is loud!" Serena said, while wincing from the ringing in her ears. "Lita, is it going to be this loud the whole time?"
"No, don't worry, it is only that loud when the puck hit the boards, and when players are checked into them. But other than that, it's the fans that make the noise," Lita said pointing to the sky board. "Like it says Bring the Noise."
The buzzer sounded for the teams to leave the ice and get ready for the game to begin. As the buzzer sounded a player skated by where the girls were sitting. A little black dot landed in Serena's lap with a cold thud. Shocked Serena looked up to see the cutie skating away to the locker room. As he reached the bench, he turned and gave her a wink and mouthed "I'm going to score a goal for you."
"Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome your ATLANTA THRASHERS!!!!!!!" The announcer called out, bring the now packed arena to their feet. Cheers, screams, claps and stomps were heard from everywhere. Serena joined in as she saw the cutie skate out and straight to where she was sitting. He skated back and forth getting his legs warm once more. Each pass, he would smile at the girls but saved a special look for Serena.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, here to sing our national anthem The Backstreet Boys, and to sing the Canadian anthem, to respect the Montreal Canadiens, Celine Dion."
"...The rockets red glare, the bombs burking in air. Gave proof through the night..." As the word night was sung, it was screamed loudly by the fans that knew the inside joke.
As the songs ended, Serena knew that she was going to enjoy the game.

Ok, there is part one, I hope you liked it. If you can't guess who the cutie is on the ice, then God help you. You will find out who it is in the next part. If you must know or just want to know the joke, email me and I'll tell ya. I hope to hear from you soon, and Hopefully, my next parts will be longer.
Oh and I know, I kind of chose bad people to sing the anthems, but they were all I could think of at the time.
