They did all the daytime television shows that morning. One after another, after another. They broke for lunch and continued until dinner.

Later that evening, when getting ready to do Letterman, Bee was reunited with her teammates. She hadn't really talked to any of them since the dinner before Eric's injury. She hugged Sheila when she saw her. Jenn came in a few minutes later. Jenn was always just on time, or a few minutes late.

"Oh it is so good to see you all!" Bee proclaimed, "I mean Eric is great and all, but it feels like ages since I've hung out with you guys. Its weird. This is the first television appearance I've done without Eric since he got hurt. Everybody seems to want us as a package. Like they think after we've been interviewed together for like seven interviews they'll be able to make us crack, and say we're dating," Sheila's eyes widened, "Which we're not," Bee clarified.

"So you two have known each other for five years," Ellen began the same lead in that atleast half a dozen different journalists had in the last week, "But isn't it true that you don't spend that much time together?"

"Yep," replied Eric.

"Then why do you two seem so close?"

"Well now isn't that a loaded question?" Bridget countered, "When we do spend time together, it is a lot of time. Summers seem to be our time. I met him in the summer, we became friends during the summer. Now this summer, we've had the opportunity to be together a lot."

"Does that have anything to do with his injury?"

"Well sort of. The doctor there in Italy told me to take care of him while we were in transit, and we're still in transit. The last time I was home for more than twelve hours was Christmas. It helps that he and I hired the same agent."

"But you two aren't together?"

They knew it was coming.

"Sort of," admitted Eric.

"I always say if we didn't see each other so sporatically, and if it was a less stressful time, it would be easier for us. As it is, I'm still in college, and he's on the pro circuit. With college, and soccer, it doesn't leave much time for a social life," Bee elaborated.

"Now Eric is done with college," she led.

"That may help us to see each other more, but right now, we don't know."

"I like to think of my injury as a sign that I should slow down," Eric added.

"Thats why we at the Ellen show, along with American Airlines, would like to give you a gift. We're going to fly you down to Baja California, were you met, for a week. Then, you're going to Puerto Rico for another week."

"Wow," Bridget stammered

"Thank you," Eric added

"This is great," Bee blurted.

Eric regained himself, "I have family just outside of Baja. It will be great to see them."

"But wait," Ellen said, "There's more."

"There is?" asked Bee.

"Yes. The soccer camp on Baja where you met would like to house you during your week there. They would be quite pleased if you would give their current campers a talk on how you got where you are now."

"Great!" Bee exclaimed, "That is quite an honor. Thank you so much for all of this Ellen. It is beyond anything I could have ever expected."

"On that note, we have to take a commercial break. When we come back, we'll play a game to see how much these two know about music. The audience could win some prizes."

So many of the same questions, so many of silly games. Bee was sick of it. She just wanted to be done with press.
