Julie's POV

"Wow! I can't believe we are actually going!"

"Yep," Russ replied

"Can we spend some time in L.A. first?" Connie said turning to Charlie.

"I don't know we would have to ask coach first,"

"Of coarse you can guys," Bombay replied as he and Orion walked through the door giving Russ, Luis, and I friendly hugs.

"Alrighty then, Yehaw, common yawl!" Dwayne said rushing out the door on rollerblade.

"Hold up guys I have one last thing to do," I couldn't help but smirk.

As I walked over to my boss I heard Adam ask me "What are you doing Jules?"

Then suddenly his voice trailed off because I had just dumped a pitcher of grape juice over my bosses head. He turned to me and he looked like he had a sunburn on his face but it was really his anger. "You are fired Julie Gaffney!!"

I replied "Good because I quit jerk...by the way grape juice stains." and then I went to the back to collect my things and the ducks and I were off.

Connie's POV

After Julie made a fool of her boss, we all left to go enjoy ourselves. Our first stop was to get something to eat since we were no longer welcome at Julie's former employer, and then after that we all went down to the street yard where we first got to know Russ and his famous knuckle puck.

"Hey I remember that fence, Portman got checked up against it" just as Averman said that Portman growled at him

"Shut up Averman!"

"Ok sir,"

"Hey lets play some street puck guys!" Jessie said revealing a puck in his hand.

"Uh Jessie how can we play without gear?" Fulton replied answering all of our thoughts.

"Oh coach?" Jessie said in a singsong voice

Coach Bombay had opened the trunk again revealing our hockey gear. What? Does he have everything in that car? I wonder if he has cable TV in that thing? Oh well we all split up into teams.

I was on the same team as Julie, Charlie, Adam, Portman, Russ, Averman, and Kenny. Okay, that's a pretty good team I guess. they never put Guy on my team because they say that instead of playing we flirt nonstop. Oh well! Screw them.

Charlie's POV

Yes! I'm on Julie's team. God I love her. Ok now here is what I have to do, I have to figure a way to ask her out. Good we're both on the bench.

Here I go. "Hey,"

"Hi,"

"So what have you been up to lately Julie bean?"

"Nothing much, Spazway,"

"Thanks a lot Julie. Hey I was wondering if later on tonight if you would like to grab a bite to eat?"

"But our plane doesn't get there till about 8:00. I think we would of already eaten by then,"

"Oh," now I feel a bit let down...

"We could have lunch tomorrow though? See some sites?" Much better...

"Cool," Wow, that was close.

"Charlie its time for you to switch with me," I realized Adam was pulling on my arm. "Oh, Oops!"

Julie's POV

After our game of hockey was over we all left for the airport to go to Salt Lake. I sat next to Adam on the flight since coach needed to speak to Charlie.

Adam's POV

Yes I get to sit next to Julie, one point for me. Even though I knew she was going on a date with Charlie the next day, having overheard them. One point for him. Without realizing it I started talking to Julie "Hey Jules, tomorrow I was wondering if you would like to do something?"

"Well Adam, Charlie already asked to take me for lunch but you know what? I could ask him if he wouldn't mind going on the date tomorrow evening and you and me could hang out for most of the day?"

"That sounds great to me, but isn't the hockey get together tomorrow night, you know where we meet the other teams?"

"That's fine Charlie can be my date to that,"

"Oh ok, as long as your happy," I thought to myself... hah I get to spend almost the whole day with Julie where Charlie only has a few hours.

The whole team POV (except for Julie, Charlie, and Adam)

Great the battle begins

Authors Note: what is going to happen on the dates? just because Adam has more time do you think he will win? or will Charlie fail on the dance floor? You will find out soon enough. working on next chapter. if you have any ideas let me know! l8er and pece out
