Chapter Three
Nosedive awoke at 9 and grabbed a shower. on his way to grab some breakfast he saw Mallory waiting outside of the guest bedroom.
"Mornin' Mal- gal. I see you're already to go and braek the world record for spending the most hours out of your life in the mall. You better hurry.
It's 10:30 now, you only have 11 and a half hours untill the mall closes.", Dive said smiling at Mal's less than happy experesion.
"Acctualy I was thinking of getting a tent and setting it up in one of those fake gardens they have." Mallory replied sarcastcaly as she hit Nosedive on the arm just hard enough to hurt.
Just them they heard the swoosh f the guest room doors. " Hey Mal, I'm Ready. How do I look?" Elizabethasked as she stepped out of the room and turned around in a cicle to show Mallory her outfit.
" You look great. I knew some of my clothes would fit you."
"Oh, hey Dive. I didn't see you there" Elizabeth said shyly "How do I look?
"You... Uhhh... look... really..uh.. nice, lizzie. So Mal talked you...uhh... into one of her mallathons." 'Come on Divester it's not like you've never seen a girl before, stop saying 'uhh' like your Tanya or something' Nosdive thought as he stumbled through his words.
"Yep, If I'm stuck here I might as well get some new clothes. I mean all mine, save the ones I was wearing, are all back on Puckworld."
"Quick we better get going before all the stores are mobbed with people." Mallory said as she dragges El down the hall to the door.
"Bye!" El siad as she was dragged around a corner.
" See ya."
0000000000000000000000000000 Later that night "We're Home." Mallory said as she and El walked into the rec.room wieghed down was what appeared to be at least three bags from every store in the mall.
"Man on fire!I shoulda listened to Dive. My legs are killing me and if I ever see another changing room again I swear I'm gonna go nuts."
"So what'd ya get, sweetheart?" Duke said looking up from the book he was reading.
" Oh, only half the mall." El replied
" We got these really cute shoes and shirt at Kohls and..." and Mallory when on with her list of purchases.
well Mal was talking about how hard it was to ind the right jeans for El, Nosedive just sat there looking at El's perfect figure.
'She even looks nice when she is bored.' Nosedive started smiling to himself and didn't even notice Mal and El exit the room.
"Hey Kid, ya ok? You look like ya in a trance or somethin'. " Duke asked from his place on the sofa.
"what?" Dive snapped back to reality.
"Oh. I see ya got a crush on El." Duke smiled
Nosedive felt his cheecks get hot. " No, I was just thinkin' about the game we won last Saturday."
"Sure kid, sure. And I'm little Bow Peep."
'So what if I like her she would never date me.' Nosedive sighed and went to his room to go to sleep early.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 NEXT DAY El woke up surprised to see Mallory sitting on top of her as she woke up.
"Rise and shine sleepy head. Today is your first day of practice", She said as she held up a new pir of hockey skates.
"What time is it?"
"5:15. We'll be late if you two don't hurry" Tanya said while bringing El some hockey gear.
"You can at least skate, right? I mean you said you never played hockey that much."
"Oh yeah, I can skate no problamo.It's the whole puck and stick thing that I never really got used to." El assured Mallory.
"okay get ready and we'll meet you on the ice in fofteen."
"Great, I love strenuios activities at 5 A.M. They're my favorite." El said as she entered the bathroom.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 15 minutes later
"Good morning everyone. This is El's first practice so we're going to go over some of the plays. and once Phil gets the papers ready she will officailly be on the team and will be our sub during games. So lets start with-"Wildwing was cut off by El waving her hand like an impatiant school girl waiting to be called on.
"One small problam I don't acctualy know how to control the puck with the stick and skate at the same time." She said sheepishly.
"No problem. We'll skate through the plays today and Nosedive will help you after practice for the next couple days untill our game on saturday with skating with the puck. Soynd good?" Wing looked from El to Nosedive and they both nodded their heads."Ok, lets start with play #1. El you'll play duke's possision, so skate behind him and watch what he does nad next time around you do it.
"Got. Copy Duke. Easy enough."
"My master always said,' things are easier said than done.' Grin quoted knowingly. El just kinda raise her eyebrow and said "Ok."
"In other words sweethear just try n' keep up." Duke said with a cocky grin.
As the team practiced the play everyone was amazed at how well el kept up with Duke who was swerving in and out of the others while they skated down the pond.
"Where'd ya learn to skate like that sweetheart?" Duke said after she completed a run of play #1 wothout following Duke.
"I used to be a delivery girl and I skated or rollerbladed through people and traffic all day. I just never realy picked up the whole puck handling part."
Just then the doors to the pond opened
"Boobies!!!" there stood Phil with a huge stack of papers and a big smile acrossed his face.
