Older Bro
Maddie sat in the stands, witnessing the fight between her brother and the Boston Guy. It was expected from him, never let anything go was his motto. She always thought it was a childish motto but obviously more than one person used that motto. The Coach played them through some more then let them go. She wandered down to the glass and smiled at her brother as he stepped off the ice. He smiled back and the disappeared.
Madison McClanahan stood outside the change room door, waiting for Robbie. He was not the first one out, instead, the guy from the bar. He caught a glimpse of her and turned around to face her.
"You're the girl from last night." Jack stated.
"Maddie." She replied.
"Jack O'Callahan, why you here?"
"Oh, Robbie McClanahan." She nodded.
"Should've known."
"Yeah. What?"
"Find a pretty girl and she's taken by him." Jack joked.
"Actually I'm Maddie McClanahan, Rob's-"
"Ready to go?" Robbie shouted from the door a few feet away, glaring at Jack.
"Yeah, see you later."
O.C. watched them leave, laughing and smiling. Rizzo caught a peek of the two siblings, not knowing how they were related.
"Pretty young to be married." O.C. stated.
"Really?" Rizzo asked as Jimmy Craig walked up.
"Nah, she's too good for him." He joked.
"Her name's McClanahan." O.C. stated.
The small group burst into laughter as they headed towards the sunny day. It was hopeless to find a good-looking girl in that town, especially when they were 'married'.
Don't know how to make breaks so this is it
Maddie drove to the apartment and dropped off Rob's hockey stuff. She then hopped back into the car and drove to the same bar she was at the previous night, meeting Robbie there after she grabbed a bite to eat.
She parked the car beside a few of the guys hanging out on the outside sidewalk of the bar.
"Hey, you're Rob's wife." One of them shouted.
"Nice catch." Another added.
Maddie shrugged it off and wandered into the bar, sitting with a bunch of Rob's friends who knew who she was. Maddie was confused, who started the rumour and why?
"Anyone know why they're calling me my brother's wife?" She asked with a slight laugh at the end.
Everyone at the table burst out laughing as she finished the question, beer spurting from their mouths and tears streaming their faces.
"Not a clue." Ramsey joked.
"Come on Johnson, let's dance." Maddie smiled. Mark Johnson was like her second brother. She always hung out with him, the way he acted lit up the room.
He headed out onto the dance floor with Maddie and the two danced around. They were the only ones out for a while, until some of the girls at the bar joined in with other hockey players. Maddie's eyes caught sight of Jack. She let another girl cut in and dance with Mark as she headed over to sit with the Boston Boys.
"Hey McClanahan." Ralph Cox smiled.
"I prefer Maddie." Maddie joked.
"Where's the mister?" Rizzo asked.
"Mister McClanahan?" Maddie asked. "He died a while ago."
"No, Mac, you're husband." Rizzo corrected himself.
"It was you who started that rumour wasn't it?" Maddie asked.
"Rumour?" Jack questioned.
"Yeah, Robbie's my brother, guess I forgot to mention that to you huh?" She smiled.
"Sorry." O.C. replied.
"Hey as long as you can't see the resemblance." Maddie laughed. "I mean me, related to him."
"Well yeah, I don't suddenly feel attracted to him." Jimmy Craig joked. "But you, wow."
"Do you always act like you haven't seen a girl before?" Maddie smiled her famous smile.
She brushed her brown locks behind her ears and set her head in her palm and elbow on the table. She was receiving stares from the table and when Robbie walked up behind her, they stayed silent.
"Madison." He bellowed.
"Yes Robert." She grinned. "Is there some way I can help you?"
"Why are you here?" Robbie asked simply.
"Getting to know your buddies."
"My buddies are over there." Robbie jerked his head towards the other side of the room. "From Minnesota."
"Hey if you aren't going to make friends, why can't I?" Maddie pleaded.
"That's okay, we were just leaving." O.C. broke the argument.
"Dance with me?" Maddie pleaded.
Robbie stared at her in disbelief. Why was she doing that to him, making best friends with his bitter enemy? Maybe she had a point, hating him wasn't helping him make the team but then there was that shot of him being booted off the team.
"Maddie." Robbie waved his hand in front of her face as she stood up and walked onto the dance floor.
Another break (someone want to let me know how?)
Robbie was practicing with Maddie later that night. They were shooting the puck back and forth and back and forth. She was having fun, skating around the ice. She hadn't done that since she was sixteen, five years ago. Maddie was getting the hang of it when the lights went brighter and a bunch more of the guys skated onto the ice, breaking up the family moment. Maddie glared at them all but couldn't help but smile when they got along with her brother, especially Boston Boy, Jack.
"Three on three?" Robbie asked.
"With your girl?" Jimmy Craig asked.
"Um, no." Maddie shook her head.
"Come on, we'll go easy on you." Jack replied with the very first smile she ever saw. "Princess."
"She'll play, on my team." Robbie cut them off as Mark Johnson joined their team with Janaszak in goal.
Maddie smiled at her brother. He was protecting her again. It was his duty but sometimes he took it too far. Maddie stood on defense, she played it well from the years passed and she needed to help her brother practice. Robbie called her up the ice and she took off, spinning out of the way of everyone and almost scoring. Shooting was he weakness.
"Too bad Princess." Verchota called out. "Almost a goal."
"Close but no cigar." Buzz laughed along.
"I don't smoke." Maddie replied, cockily.
"Yeah sis." Robbie cheered her on.
"Go Maddie." Johnson smiled.
"First to three." Jack shot out in the air.
"It's on." Maddie challenged but he charged her with the puck. She turned to face him with her shoulder and Boom! Down he went.
"One thing I did teach her was how to check." Robbie laughed.
"Sorry." Maddie grinned as she pulled him up.
"With a brother like him, don't be."
"Penalty!" Verchota yelled.
"No refs." Maddie stated.
They dropped the puck at center ice and took the face-off. Maddie held the puck to the other end and held onto it beside the net, against the boards, waiting for Johnson or Robbie to appear so she could pass it. Verchota took her into the boards and she fought for the puck. Verchota was joined by O'Callahan, who held her against the boards.
"Holding!" Maddie screeched with laughter. "Penalty for holding!"
"No refs." Verchota laughed as he broke away down the ice.
Maddie watched as he scored on the sturdy goalie. She looked up at Jack who was still holding her. He was watching Verchota and Schneider celebrate the first goal of the game.
"Cheater." Maddie remarked with a smile. "I say we switch up the teams."
"Let's put Mac, O.C. and Maddie on one with Jimmy and me and the guys on the other." Mark suggested.
"Are you crazy?" Maddie opposed. "You're like totally useless against me alone let alone Robbie and Jack."
"I'm willing to try." Mark replied.
"Shoot, I have to go anyways." Maddie glanced at the clock.
"What for?" Robbie whined.
"To pick up your stuff from Curt."
"Oh yeah."
"Who's Curt?" Mark asked.
"Little brother." Robbie answered.
"How little?" Jack asked.
"Young enough to be our son." Maddie joked. "Kidding."
"See you later Madds." Robbie waved as she skated off the ice.
