I cannot believe it has been almost 4 years since I have updated this story, I am extremely disappointed in myself. I mean I know I sometimes have writer's block but 4 YEARS? REALLY? I am so sorry for those who wanted me to update. Moving past all that I have read over the story and I think I am able to pick up where I left off. I notice I tended to keep the chapters short so I think I will continue to do that. Enjoy everyone. For those of you who have read this before once I again I am so sorry and for those who are new readers. Enjoy.

IT'S GAME TIME

Nicky stands outside the hockey arena with Leigh and Brooke the night of JV/Varsity game. Nicky pulls her coat close to her as she look around at the people making their way into the stadium. She admits she was nervous. She knows how much this games means to Adam, how much he wanted to prove that he belong with the Ducks, how he wasn't scared of the jerks on the Varsity team, even though he has admitted a few times that a few of them weren't that bad, especially Scooter. Or that's what she thinks his name was. She looks to Leigh and Brooke, seeing them laughing about something before she felt a hand on her shoulder.

She turns around and greeted the person with a smile. "Hi Casey right?" She says.

"That's right Nicky. How are you sweetie?" She says bringing Nicky into a hug.

"Great. So I take you are going to the game?"

"Of course. How are you and Adam? Is he a nervous wreck like always?" Casey asks causing Nicky to smile and laugh. The thought of Adam always brought a smile to her face and does remembering being very amused at the timid look Adam had when he left to get ready.

FLASHBACK

"Okay seriously why do you look like you are going off to war babe?" Nicky asks as her and Adam walk hand in hand to the arena.

Adam chuckles as he readjusts the strap of his bag over his shoulder and shakes his head. "I don't look that bad."

"Oh really?" She challenges with a raised eyebrow.

Adam shakes his head but bends his head towards her to brush his lips.

She smiles brightly at him. "I like your tactic Mr. Banks. But I'm serious. You are so tense, you need to relax."

He sighs and drops his shoulders. "Ok fine maybe a little. It's just we have to beat these guys." He sighs out as he looks towards the ground.

"I understand that I do but you have to promise me one thing." She starts as she links her arm through his.

"What's that?"

"Try to have some fun will you? You are incredible so I know you will do awesome but you are finally with your friends now so please please. I would like to see you smile while playing this time." She says smiling innocently up at him.

"I'll try." He says with a cheek smile and gives her a wink. She throws her head back to laugh then sees they are at the doors.

"Well I guess this is your stop I'll see you later. And remember no matter if you win or lose-" She begins only to have him leans his forehead on hers and finish saying "Have fun."

"That's my boy." She smiles and stands on the tip of her toes to press her lips against. It amazed her that no matter how many times they kissed she would never get tired of it.

"One more kiss for good luck." He asks.

She laughs but gives him what he wants before pushing him away. "Get out of here already. I'll see you in there." She tells him as she waves goodbye watching him smile at before he disappears inside.

As Adam made his way to the locker room, he couldn't help but feel calm. It almost felt like the for the first time that he didn't feel intimidated by this game…Almost.

He must have still been smiling when he went into the locker room because Russ breaks him out of his thought.

"What's got you smiling about cake-eater?" He asks.

Adam looks up and shrugs. "Just ready to beat some Warrior butt that's all."

He smirks though when he hears Connie mutter "Yeah that's all." As she passes by him. He chuckles and lightly slaps her in the arm. She turns around and sticks her tongue out at him.

FLASHBACK ENDS

"Well he was a little tense but I think he is doing okay." Nicky answers as she shakes herself from her thoughts earlier today.

"That boy is always worried about how well he will play not believing that he always does amazing." Casey replies as she shakes her head.

"That's what I said." Nicky almost yells out because it practically took the words out of her mouth. She notices that Adam always feels like he could do better but the truth was he does incredible. "Uhh that boyfriend of mine." She mutters out as she shakes her head playfully in disappointment which causes Casey to break out into laughter.

"I swear you two are adorable." Casey tells her. Nicky blushes and looks away.

"Well we better get inside. I'll see you in there dear." Casey says as she gives Nicky a little hug and walks away. Brooke comes out of nowhere and puts her arm over Nicky's shoulder.

"Ready to go inside and cheer on your boy?" She says. Nicky smiles as she nods eagerly and they make their way inside. She just hopes Adam won't be disappointed tonight. He was ready for tonight and she would love to see him smiling at the end of the night.

So yeah, short, simple, and I just needed a filler. I'm working on the next chapter as we speak so it might even be up by the end of the night for those who are interested. I think this story will have a couple more chapters before it should be complete so hopefully I can keep this writer's mood long enough to complete this. Reviews are always welcome so please reviews. They always brighten up my day.
