Nascarchick- Sweet and silly! LOL
Lia06- Thanks, that was a fun chapter to write.
Killerkeanegirl- The vibrator was actually from all 3 Coneheads, but I get the humor at Buzz being one of the ones involved with that particular gift! LOL (I didn't actually think of it that way until you and one other person pointed it out to me!) Poor puppy, but I wouldn't worry; pets are very understanding! My two cats are patient with me! LOL
Meadow567- Just cute? Curses! LOL JK And thanks for explaining to me the thing about Buzz! LOL
BellaLou- I like the toilet joke too! What would Casey say to those kinds of engagement gifts? LOL Well I'm obsessed with Yellow so I am not sure what Casey would say about me! LOL Yay, he has me bookmarked! Give him all my kisses back and 3 new ones! LOL (Yeah that means spoiling him!) I would love him to review on his own! Maybe he will for my next story! Loved your comments on last chapter! I actually enjoy writing the team interactions. Thanks again!
Butterflykisses71- Body Condoms are just oversized condoms that serve no real purpose other than silliness! Just for a laugh! (They were something I could see Verchota finding funny!)
Klinoa- The point of the party was so they could give the serious gifts at the wedding! It was just for a joke, but fun. Besides, none of the boys (not even Verchota) would show vibrators and Playboys in front of Velta or Patti Brooks!
Racer38- Thanks for your review! No one has ever asked so nicely for an update before! LOL I hope you enjoy!
February 18, 1980 USA Vs. Romania
"We beat Romania!" Craig said to me.
"Looks like Herb has to deal with another press conference." I said as we walked into the locker room.
"Seems the reporters all want to talk to your fiancé." Craig said. "To be honest, I've never seen Jimmy's game look so good."
"I am so proud of him. And Donald is just such a proud dad; he's like the man giving out cigars in the maternity ward!" I said and Craig laughed.
I went to the back room to assist dad with any injuries. No one was there except for OC, sitting up on one of the tables, listening to his own heartbeat with my stethoscope.
"What are you doing?" I asked. OC looked up.
"Just amusing myself." OC said. I knew he had been a little depressed about not getting to play.
"I can see if we have an enema bag around if you're looking for a real good time." I said with a wink.
"Kinky!" OC said with a smile.
"Why don't you come out with me later?" I asked.
"Look Georgy, I think you're one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen, but you did just get engaged to one of my best friends." OC said with a laugh.
"Well, I don't think Jimmy would mind, because it's not a date. Jim and Donald are having dinner together this evening. I have decided to give them some time alone. And I need to go shopping, so you can go with me." I said.
"Am I going to have to walk around with tampons in the cart?" OC asked, and I laughed.
OC and I had been out shopping, when we decided to go to an ice skating pond. OC was walking well on his knee and said that it didn't hurt much. He was hoping to play in the medal round, if we won our next game. OC and I sat down on one of the benches to watch the skaters out on the ice.
"It was nice of you to let Jim and his dad be alone for dinner." OC said.
"They need time to themselves, they always will. They are very close." I said.
"I think you're good for him. He has been so happy these past few months." OC said.
"Well I know that he is good for me." I said. "I have never been so happy or felt so complete in my life."
"Would you like some hot chocolate?" OC asked.
"Yes, thank you." I said. OC nodded and got up and walked to the refreshment stand nearby.
OC had not been gone long when a young man sat down next to me. I glanced over at him. He looked about my age and had ice skates on.
"Are you in town for the Olympics?" he asked me.
"Yes, I am." I said.
He extended his hand to me. "Hi, I'm Jim Craig. Team USA ice hockey." He said.
I was face to face with one of the imposters. He was pretending to be Jim to flirt with me. I decided to teach him a lesson.
"Nice to meet you. You're the goalie, I have heard so much about you." I said with false enthusiasm and shook his hand. "I have seen you in the net, you're very amazing."
"Thank you. You would see a lot more of me, but my coach won't let anyone interview me. He is trying to keep the spotlight on himself." The man said.
"Sounds like a strict coach. I hear he has won National Championships in Minnesota." I said. "Where did you go to college?"
"Is your boyfriend here at the Olympics with you?" he asked.
'Nice change of subject. You must not know much about the guy you're impersonating.' I thought. 'It would have to take an awfully shallow girl to fall for this.'
"Yes, he is." I said. "Here he comes now."
OC handed me a hot chocolate and sat down next to me. "Honey, this is Jim Craig, the goalie from the US Olympic hockey team." I said winking at OC to play along.
"Oh it is. Nice to meet you Jim." OC said. "I have seen you play, you're amazing. Any word on if Steve Janaszak will get to play?"
"Who? Oh yes, Steve should be off the injured list soon." The man said.
"I thought Jack O'Callahan was the injured player. Isn't Janaszak the back-up goalie?" OC asked.
"Oh, right, but Steve hasn't been felling well." The man said.
"Well I hope he feels better soon." I said.
The man must have realized that he didn't know enough to fool me and Jack. And since he believed I was with my boyfriend he had no reason to flirt. "Well, I should be going……"
"Just one minute." I said and laid a hand on his arm. "You're not Jim Craig and if I were you, I'd quit pretending."
"What do you mean? Of course, I'm Jim Craig." He said.
I pulled my Team USA Ice Hockey Medical Staff badge out of my shirt and showed him. "You see, I know Jim Craig quite well. I am Team USA's nurse. I know all the players and you're not one of them. You have never been on our team. Furthermore, I am Jim Craig's fiancé, and let me tell you, you couldn't hold a candle to him in looks or personality." I said noticing people were starting to stare as I raised my voice.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know." The man tried to say.
"And let me tell you something else that you don't know. Herb Brooks isn't trying to keep himself in the spotlight. He just doesn't want any one player getting more attention than another while it is a TEAM effort. And this is Jack O'Callahan!" I said pointing to Jack. "He is one of Jim's best friends. Now, you better quit parading around Lake Placid pretending to be my fiancé to pick up girls. Jim already has a girl!" I said and grabbed Jack's hand. "Let's go, I have to get home to the REAL Jim Craig!"
OC and I stood up and walked away leaving people staring at the imposter.
"How was your evening out with OC?" Jim asked when OC and I walked into Jim's room.
"There's the real Jim Craig." I said and jumped into Jim's arms.
"What is she talking about?" Jim asked.
"Jim, some guy was pretending to be you to flirt with her, and she told him off." OC said with a laugh. "I didn't know such a sweet girl had that temper buried inside her."
"Pretending to be me?" Jim asked.
"Yeah, remember those stories we heard about men claiming to be athletes from the Olympics to pick up girls and such? Well one sat down next to me claiming to be you." I said.
"What did you do?" Jim asked OC.
"I didn't get a chance to do anything. Georgia flashed her badge and started laying down the law." OC said.
"It made me mad. I mean what if he does something illegal while posing as Jim? Witnesses would say Jim Craig did it, and suddenly we're in a scandal!" I said. "And what if he fools around with girls while claiming to be Jim? We go home and nine from now, we got women showing up with babies and child support claims!"
"Georgia, relax. I am sure if that would happen they would look at me and say 'I didn't sleep with you.'" Jim said.
"They better say that!" I said with a giggle. "If they tried claiming to have been with you I would tell them to identify your birthmark!"
"I don't want to hear this!" OC said feigning illness.
I giggled again. "OC, after being nurse to the team for seven months, I know where lots of people's birthmarks are!"
"Jimmy where's Georgy's birthmarks?" OC asked.
"How was dinner with your dad?" I asked, changing the subject.
"Would you believe my brothers asked if you'd be wearing white?" Jim asked with a laugh.
"Yeah Georgia, are you going to wear white?" OC asked with a knowing grin!
