a/n: This is really old, it's from the 2009 Stanly cup playoffs, vs. the Blackhawks. So it's old. Also its based right after the last chapter so they are still in 9th grade, just cause it's based off the 09 playoffs does not mean it is 09. Thank for reading.

"What do you mean we don't get the game?" JJ said looking at her grandfather as if he just told her the world was ending.
"It's not on basic cable." Mr. Jareau said calmly to his young granddaughter. JJ looked at Peter.
"There's a sports bar in town."
"You're 18." Peter pointed out.
"Right so I can get in! Get ready!"
"Oh! Ok!" Peter smiled and ran upstairs to get ready. JJ glared at the basketball game once more and stomped off.

Ten minutes later JJ was redressed in a pair of skinny cut jeans, white button up tee and a gray halter vest. Peter was in jeans and a tee. He took her arm and they walked out to the car. Peter drove as JJ tried to find the NHL channel on the radio.
"We'll be there in 20 minutes."
"That's too long!" JJ huffed and changed the channel again. JJ kept switching channels till she came to a song she enjoyed. "Oh Peter! It's Jesse's Girl!" JJ grinned dancing along in the car. When the song ended Peter had pulled up to a spot in front of the bar.
"Ready?"
"Yes!" JJ smiled jumping out of the car. They walked into the bar and found an open spot at one of the tables.
"May we sit here?" Peter asked of the other couple who smiled and nodded. Peter turned his seat toward the TV as JJ sat backwards in her own.
"See told you they would have it on." JJ scoffed.
"Well we do live in Pennsylvania so I didn't think they would have the Red Wings on here."
"They have to win! We need to redeem ourselves versus them!"
"That they do!" A man shouted a few seats over from them. Wings being down 3 points wasn't a good thing, especially in a play off game. Peter ordered wings and fries, and two cokes. When JJ realized later that she had a drink she quickly downed half of it, shouting for the 3 goals in 5 minutes took a lot out of you. At the end of the 2nd period JJ turned to Peter who was chewing on a wing bone.
"Peter I thought mom said you had the best etiquette of the family?"
"She did." Peter smiled.
"Well you have ranch on your nose." JJ laughed. A glint caught her eye and she looked at where it came from, she watched a girl not much older than herself walk up on the small stage in the corner.
"Hey! My name's Sarah! This is Mountain miners!" She said into a microphone. Peter turned and smiled.
"Must be the band for the night."
"Yeah." They opened with a song JJ didn't recognize Peter said something about Van Morrison, but she didn't take her eyes off the girl. The second song JJ knew to be country but couldn't place it further than it was Gretchen Wilson. She smiled and watched, singing along. They played two more songs before stopping for the 3rd period.
"Wow, chick's got major power."
"I'd say."
"I like chicks with power."
"I like…people." JJ gave a coy smile.
"Oh sure." Peter laughed taking a sip of his drink.
"Well I won't deny it." JJ smiled taking a wing of her own.
"Oh look here they come back!" Peter said almost jumping it his seat.
"Gezz Pete don't forget you're engaged." JJ grinned.
"Wow get a load of those Wings eh?" The lead guitar player said making everyone laugh. "So because the game is going into over time we decided to play through it…" A few people made their negative opinions known making JJ laugh. "Sorry folks." He said before the rest the band took stage and started back up. JJ was torn between watching the game and watching the girl move up on stage, she finally settled and would check the game every so often. They started playing It's not my time when JJ looked back at the T.V. just in time to see Sharp drop the puck in Ozzy's net. JJ sighed and leaned forward to Peter.
"We lost."
"That's ok, we're still up two games."
"I wanted a sweep." JJ pouted and Peter laughed.
"Come on let's dance." Peter pulled JJ up and out to the fake wood floor where others were dancing. They danced for a few song's till Peter pulled JJ in close when At Last came on. Sarah sang as they danced, Peter smiled and kissed the top of JJ's head.
"Ready to head home? It's almost midnight."
"Yeah." JJ yawned and leaned on peter as they walked out waving to the band as they left. JJ grinned when Sarah waved back to them. Peter drove them back to the house as JJ fell asleep in the seat. He carefully woke her up and helped her back down to her room.
"Thank you for taking me out tonight." JJ smiled at Peter.
"Any time Jay. Now go to sleep we have a long day tomorrow." Peter smiled, JJ was already asleep before he even shut the door.
