A month Later
"So we're playing against Norway tonight." Grace and her father were sitting on the plane flying to Norway. Most of the boys were sleeping and some of them were talking queitly.
"Yeah and Herb really wants to win. He's pushing the boys way too hard." Craig looked over at his daughter. "I'm going to sit over with Doc, you should get some sleep."
"K." Grace watched her father go and decided to go to sleep. She had just closed her when she felt someone sit beside her. She opened her eyes and saw Rizzo.
"Hey sorry if I woke you but your dad asked me to come sit with you."
"O really, is that so."
"No not really but whatever." Grace and Rizzo had been going out for a month now and no one else knew.
"As much as I like you're company, I am really tired and I wanna sleep."
"Yeah I'm pretty tired too, so we can both go to sleep." Rizzo looked around quickly to see if anyone was looking, when he was reassured that no one was he leaned over and gave Grace a small kiss on the lips.
"G'night."
"We will arrive in Norway in 15 minutes." Grace didn't know how long she had been sleeping but the announcement woke her up. She felt someone on her shoulder and looked over to see Rizzo asleep with his head on her shoulder. She gently shook him to wake him up, it took him a few minutes for him to wake up.
"Hey Rizzo wake up"
"Huh oh are we landing right away or what?"
"Yeah 15 minutes or so." Grace looked around to see that almost everyone was awake now, she shifted in her seat so she could see her dad. He was busily talking to Doc and Herb, she turned around and noticed that Robbie was looking at him.
"What?"
"Nothing just noticing that you and Rizzo looked pretty cozy"
"Ya so did you and Jimmy but I didn't say anything."
"Put your seatbelt on we are landing right away." Robbie said in his sternest voice.
"Okay mom." Grace said sarcasitcally.
The seatbelt sign came on and soon they were landed in Norway, the hopped on a bus and headed over to the arena. While everyone was in the arena, Grace went to get something to eat.
"Hey sweetheart what's going on." Grace turned around to see some guy talking to her.
"Excuse me, do I know you."
"No but we should get to know each other."
"Stay away from me." Grace forgot about getting something to eat and headed towards the locker room. She heard the guy following here and saw Rizzo standing outside the locker room.
"Oh thank god."
"Hey what's wrong." Rizzo looked at Grace with concern in his eyes.
"Nothing I'm okay, come one you have a game to play."
In the end they tied the Norway team 3:3 and Herb was not impressed. During the game most of the guys were talking about some girls in the stands. Grace watched as he made her father go get him a whistle and right away she knew what he was going to make them do. She watched as they made them do their usual warm up, which was skating from the goal line to two other lines. She couldn't believe how much he was making them skate, she was relived when the manager shut off the lights. She and the rest of the guys thought they would be getting out of there but Herb still made them skate.
"Again." She watched her father shake his head no but Herb still made him, he was about to blow the whistle when Rizzo called out.
"Mike Eruzione. Winthrop, Massachusettes."
"Who do you play for?"
"I play for the United States of America."
"That's all gentlemen." Grace watched as most of the team collapsed and she ran over to Rizzo.
"Hey are you alright?"
"I'll be fine." Grace helped him up and over to the boards, then she went to help some of the others. Soon everyone was changed and on the plane again. Grace sat alone and fell asleep but was woken up by Robbie.
"What the hell do you want?"
"Is there something going on between you and Rizzo and don't lie to me I've known you for four years."
"Robbie me and Rizzo are friends like me and you are get that through your head."
"Sure." Grace watched him walk back to his seat with a smirk on his face but Grace didn't care she just went back to sleep.
"Grace honey we are landing soon, so you got to wake up." Grace opened her eyes to look up at her father.
"Oh okay." She put on her seatbelt and closed her eyes while the plane landed. They were going down the runway when they hit a moose. She thought it was funny that they had hit a moose and laughed queitly to herself. Some of the guys had to push the plane so it could be checked out, Grace sat inside trying to sleep on a chair.
