On the way to the Olympic Center I had my new I.D. badge around my neck; one hand firmly clamped around it like it was the gold metal itself. Jack rubbed my arm and kissed me on the cheek. "It's not like it's gonna fly away." He said laughing.

"Maybe I shouldn't sit with you. I'll just sit up in the stands like I normally do. It'll be fine." I reasoned.

"But I want you to be there." Jack said softly, moving his hand to rest behind my neck. "We all do Dana. It wouldn't be the same without you."

I took a deep breath and looked out the window to see fans waving U.S. Flags and grinning. "I just don't want to get in the way, you know? I don't want to be the reason you loose."

"Don't flatter yourself." Steve said, peeking over the seat. "Those commies might be distracted by you but us Americans have built up an immunity to your wiles."

I raised my eyebrow. "Wiles?"

"Yeah wiles. You know, charm, allure, wiles?"

I laughed. "Whatever you say Jannie."

Jack's fingers ran up and down my neck. "Well you do have that all-American sex appeal." He murmured, rubbing a newly acquired hicky and grinning.

I leaned into his touch. "Mmmm. Glad to know someone appreciates me."

"Hands to yourself O.C. I appreciate you Dana. You do my laundry, and clean my room, and make me dinner, and take my car to get gas. You're like the mother I never had."

"Robbie, you have a mom. She loves me, remember?"

Robbie cocked his head to the side. "Oh yeah, she said I wasn't allowed back home until I could cook dinner for her."

"Which could take years." I snickered.

The bus pulled to a stop at the back entrance to the Olympic Center and we all pilled out. Well, more like trudged out, the last time we played them we were beaten by a landslide.

"Jack, we need to examine your knee." Doc patted Jack on the shoulder and went on ahead to the locker room.

Jack looked nervous. "What if it's not healed?"

I smirked. "If you were up for what we did last night, you should be fine for a hockey game." I said in a low voice. Jack flushed red and I grinned. "Now go- Doc's not gonna wait forever. I'll see you on the bench."


Hey everyone! I'm brainstorming a new Miracle fanfiction but I'm not sure what I should call it. It's about a girl from Colorado who's been hired to be a secretary to Herb Brooks. She's really clumsy and falls for…….. That I don't know, but I've got all sorts of plans for it. If anyone has ideas for a title I'd love you forever!
