I know, I know, the last one was short. I'm going to go on a writing frenzy and get as far as I can in a few hours of writing. Hope you like everything. I'm going to try adding interactions with all the players, which is the only gripe I have about most of the Miracle Fics. Enjoy!

A knock was heard on Cox's dorm door. "Hey Bah, get the door, would ya?" Cox asked, lying on his bed. Bah looked at him from his own bed and scowled.

"Why the hell should I get it?" he started, "Get off your own lazy ass and answer the door."

"Come on Bah! I'm tired. I've been skating all day!"

"Yeah, and I haven't?" He sighed, throwing a pillow at Cox.

"Aww, be a friend. Please?"

A groan escaped Bah's lips. "Fine, fine, but you owe me one Coxy!" He heard Cox reply under his breath as he got up and walked to the door, but he brushed it off with a laugh. He swung it open to see Hunter, arms crossed and foot tapping.

"It took you long enough, didn't it?" she said, giving Bah a little shove on the shoulder. "You can't be that tired. I skated with you today and practice was a cinch."

Cox threw his arms open upon seeing Hunter. "HP! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be out getting a manicure or shopping or something?" Hunter shot him an evil look.

"Don't you wish. I'd rather be doing this," she remarked before tackling Cox on his bed. She pinned his shoulders to the bed and swung her long hair in his face. He sputtered, shaking his head, trying to escape the hair jungle.

"Damn Hunter! Get off!" he choked out, grinning broadly. "You know I hate that!"

She grinned cheekily, drooping more hair in his eyes. "You do?" she asked innocently. She kept him pinned for a few minutes, laughing the whole time.

Bah leaned against the doorframe, watching them curiously. He knew that the two knew each other, but he had no idea how well. From the looks of it, they were pretty close.

As strong as Hunter was, Cox was not the easiest one to keep still. He noticed her energy loss and took advantage of it. All at once, he drew his shoulders up as hard as he could, flinging Hunter off the bed and onto the floor with a loud thud. Both Cox and Bah paused, worried that she was hurt for a moment, but were stopped by the sound of giggles rising from the floor.

"Ow," was all she managed to say between giggles. This continued for a minute or two before the sound trailed off.

"I need help. My sides hurt. I don't think I can get up." Only arms were seen, raised up in the air, from next to the bed. "Sheep man, help me!" she called, obviously intending the comment for Bah. His face turned a deep shade of pink, which forced Cox to laugh harder.

It took Bah a minute to decide whether or not he would respond. He decided he might as well act silly; it's not like anyone would see it besides Cox and Hunter. "Sheep man, to the rescue!" he said, striking a pose before fake running over to Hunter. He grabbed her by the hand and pulled her up. She grabbed him in a dramatic hug.

"Oh, thank you Sheep Man!" she said in her girly voice. "What would I ever do without…" She trailed off, cocking an eyebrow at the crowd in the doorway.

"Sheep Man? I wish I had thought of that one, Bah," said a voice that could have only belonged to OC. Bah slowly turned around to see OC, Silky, Rammer and Pav standing outside the room, all of them wearing smiles. The hyena laugh of Cox could be heard from the adjacent bed.

Hunter couldn't help but laugh. "Hey boys!" she said, waving to the crowd. Each waved back, murmuring hellos. "Is there a party in here I'm not aware of?"

Rammer was the next to speak. "We," he started, pointing to his roommate Pav, "heard a huge thud next door, which is your room. Or Bah and Coxy's room. I don't know why you're here Hunter."

"I heard the same thing," Silky said. "I came out and found these two guys and we all started over here to find out what happened."

"We stumbled upon this waste of air," Pav said, nudging OC, "and he just kind of followed us."

"Everything okay in here?" OC asked, rolling his eyes at Pav. "What was the thud?"

Hunter raised her hand and tried to keep a straight face. "I was the thud. Blame the hyena over there," she said, looking at Cox. He had finally stopped laughing and he wore a strange expression on his face, seeing that everyone was staring at him.

"She started it," he complained, pointing at Hunter like a 10 year old. "It's all HP's fault!"

"Bah, you can't let them get out of hand like that! You never know what they might do," Rammer said, winking at Cox. Hunter got up and jabbed him in the shoulder.

"Careful what you say Ram. She knows where you live," Bah said. Hunter growled convincingly. All the boys mockingly stepped back.

"Don't be scared of her guys. As long as you have a small rodent, like a hamster, handy, she's harmless." Hunter shot him a look that would have caused a lion to faint. No one was supposed to know she was scared of hamsters. "I…uh…need a shower. I'll be back. Uh…bye guys," he said, running into the bathroom. No one could hold in their laughter anymore. The sounds of deep laughs filled the halls and swirled around the room. As soon as everyone calmed down, clutching their sides in pain, Hunter stood up.

"I have to go guys. Get the ice ready for Herb. You know how he is. At least he lets me drive the zamboni," Hunter said. OC flinched at the idea of Hunter driving around like a manic. "Remember boys, practice tonight! See you all in a few hours."

She gave Bah a quick one hug and told him to tell Cox she left. She smiled and waved goodbye to the guys, giving OC a slight punch in the shoulder. Silence filled the room for a few moments after she left, but was broken by Cox reappearing from the bathroom, his hair wet and his moustache limp.

"Is HP gone?" Cox asked sadly. Rammer nodded and Cox sighed.

"What did you call her Coxy? HP, right?" he asked. Cox nodded. "What kind of a nickname is HP? We can't call her that anyway. You have the initials thing already, OC."

"Good point," OC said, chuckling at his comment. Hadn't Cox said the same thing the first time OC and Hunter met?

"We used to call her Patty, but that was her dad's nickname and she's a bit sensitive about that now." Cox's expression said that the topic of her dad was out of the question. He had talked to Hunter about it only days ago and was now updated on everything that had happened. He knew Hunter; she lashed out whenever she felt uncomfortable. Giving her her father's nickname was sure to make her feel more than uncomfortable. "Oh, wait, I've got it! I remember when we were kids and we played together, the guys used to call her Puck."

"Puck? What the hell!" Silky exclaimed.

"Yeah, Puck. She's always been a hell of a shot. I mean, she used to shoot harder than most of the boys on the team. She probably still does," Cox said, stopping for a second, remembering the old days. "She hated that name," he started again, "so much. She liked the meaning, but Puck isn't the greatest nickname ever."

"It's better than mine. I mean, really. Bah. It's the sound a sheep makes. I can't even remember how I got it."

"We know you hate your name Bah. We can talk about that later," Rammer said.

"Poor Bah. But Coxy's right, I remember that nickname. I wasn't there when she got the name," OC said, "but she told me about it the first day I met her."

"So, what? Are we calling her Puck now?" Rammer asked.

"Sure, why not? She's fun when she's a little riled up anyway," Cox replied.

"No she's not!" said a new voice. Mac stood behind everyone, snickering at the comment. "She's horrible when she's riled up."

"Not that you helped the matter last time."

"Shut it OC," Mac said, playfully shoving him. The two were on better terms now, but they still had their moments. "Anyway, avoid her when she's riled up. Really. It's a good suggestion."

"Thanks for that Mac," Cox said.

"You're very welcome."

OC rolled his eyes at Mac and grinned slightly at Cox. "I think I have to get ready for practice tonight," Cox said.

"Yeah, I think so too. My skates need sharpened, so I have to leave a little early," Bah commented.

"Okay, okay, we can tell when we aren't wanted," Pav said, with a cheesy sniffle. "Come on Rammer. Let's go." Ram nodded and both left, OC and Silky soon following.

Bah sighed. "Well now, that was fun, wasn't it?"

"Oh yes, so much fun."

"Seriously, though. I think this team just may work."

"Yeah. I think it might."

"At least I hope so. I want that medal."

"I think the medal is gonna be the least of our worries."

"Yeah, you're probably right."

"Of course I'm right. Hello, Bah! Who did you think you were talking to?"

All Bah could do was throw a pillow at Cox. Cox's muffled laughter could be heard as Bah walked over and laid on his bed.

"This is gonna be the year, Coxy. I can just feel it."

You said the last ones were short. Now you get a really long one. There's no halfway with me, you'll learn quickly. I hope you enjoy. I was going out on a limb with this chapter. It's the longest one I've written and it's the most involved. Please keep reviewing! I know I haven't been putting up comments lately, but it's been hard. Please know that I love to read all your reviews. They really help me.
