*Linda's Room*

"Come on! It's Saturday night! And it's not like you two have anything better to do," Linda stated as she pulled her jean jacket over the white V-neck. "And plus, it'll be fun."

"Fun?" AJ threw a glance at Lucy from her spot on her bed, choosing to ignore the other comment. "You do know the definition of fun, right?"

Lucy held back a laugh once Linda shot her a small death glare. Linda and Connie have been trying to get the two to get out of the dorms and have some fun for the last hour. Or at least Linda has been; Connie gave up after the fifth no from the two.

"Okay, how about this?" Connie pushed her feet into her boots before continuing. "Come but if you get bored, we won't force you to stay. Okay?"

The two thought about it, "Okay."

Linda and Connie jumped in victory.

"Now get changed!"

"What's wrong what I have on?" AJ looked down at her black sweatpants and gray hoodie.

Linda groaned. "At least change your pants."

"What you think I'll embarrass you looking like this?"

"Yes." Linda squealed as a pillow got throw at her face but unfortunately, she wasn't fast enough to move out of the way. The pillow tousled her hair, making it staticity. "Hey! Watch the hair!"

AJ laughed, rolling her eyes.

*Charlie's Room*

"You are worst then girls when it comes to getting ready," Dean retorted.

From his bed, Adam just laughed, dodging the glare Charlie threw at him. "You should see him when he goes on an actual date with Linda. I swear he take at least 5 hours to get ready."

Laughter filled the small room as Charlie protested against his teammate's comment.

"C'mon, dude," Fulton huffed as Charlie tried on another shirt. "It's not like she'll care what you wear."

"You don't know that! She could secretly hate what I wear but not tell because she doesn't want to hurt my feeling!"

The four boys look, dumbfounded, at their captain, who was being 100% serious.

"Your first kiss was when you were covered in sweat and hockey gear, I think you'll be fine." Guy threw Charlie his jacket. "Now can we get going? Connie doesn't like it when I'm late."

"You two are wrapped around their fingers," Dean snorted as they made their way out.

Adam waved bye, thankful for the quiet.

*REV's*

While Linda and Connie were sitting in a booth in the back corner with their boys, Dean, Fulton, Lucy and AJ were locked in an intense game of pool. Girls vs Boys. And right now, the girls were kicking the boys' asses.

Dean threw his arms up in frustration. "How?! How in the world are you so good?"

AJ opened her mouth but Lucy bet her to the punch. "Because girls love to show off their skills and plus it's fun watching you slowly lose your mind."

AJ's eye widens as she looked up at Fulton, standing next to her. Neither of them thought the school's nerd had the balls to say something like that, especially to Dean. Fulton got ready to hold Dean back once he saw his best friend lean his hands on the edge of the pool table. Lucy quickly mimicked his actions on the other side. However, Fulton and AJ stepped back. They had no intension to try and intervene.

Portman just let a smirk play along his face. "How about we play another round? This time it's you and me versus Fulton and AJ."

Lucy raised an eyebrow. "What? No, you versus me?"

AJ and Fulton's eyes kept shifting between to two, wondering how Dean is staying so calm.

"Nah, you can easily kick my ass one on one, so I rather have you on my team." The comment made Lucy blush. Dean smiled at his achievement then look at the two standing on the side. "You two playing?"

The two said players blinked a couple of times before nodded. "I'm just gonna get a refill before we start." AJ stated. "You guys want one?"

The three nodded. Replaying what each one of them had, AJ made her way to the "bar".

"Hey Rose," AJ smiled at the blood red head women behind the bar.

"Hey honey." Rose pulled AJ into a hug that made the girl stretch her body over the counter but she didn't mind. "Refills?" She asked once they pulled apart.

"Yes please." AJ watched Rose move swiftly around as she grabbed fresh glass mugs. To AJ, Rose was like an older sister, sometimes a mother. During her Husky days Rose and Rev, the owner to the place and Rose's Husband, always came to her games, cheering her on. And after the game they would always go out for ice cream, win or lose. AJ never asked them to do any of that but they had no complaints about it. Even now that she joined the Ducks, the two would be at every home game since the away games were a little too far sometimes but she didn't mind, AJ knew they were cheering her on from home.

"So how are the Ducks treating you?" Rose set the drinks down and rested her elbow on the counter.

"Like I've been part of the team since the beginning." AJ fiddled with the straw in her Coke.

"Then why don't you sound so excited?"

"This is the first time in a while since it feels like I actually fit in," AJ avoided Rose's concerned gaze. "What happens when they find out my whole situation?"

"If they really care for you they'll understand." Rose placed a gently hand on the teen's own hand.

AJ pulled away, taking the drinks over to the pool table.

Rev then came up behind his wife. "Everything okay?"

Rose nodded. "She's can be so hard headed sometimes."

"Just like her mother."

AJ put on a smile as she got to the table. Fulton took his and Dean's drinks from her hand as Lucy grabbed hers. Picking up her pool stick AJ took a sip of her Coke. "Who's breaking?"

"Lucy can," Fulton suggested.

Lucy moved to the end of the table, lined up her shoot and then started the game; a certain Bash Brother's eyes never losing sight of her. "Losers buys ice cream?"

"Deal," Fulton and AJ agreed, more determined to win the game.

In the back corner, Linda and Connie high fived.

"Looks like it working!" Linda exclaimed, watching Lucy laugh at something Dean had said.

"We're are going to hear all about it tonight," Connie laughed.

Guy and Charlie were confused.

"Wait you set this up?" Charlie asked pointing over to the table.

The girls nodded. "Lucy told us she had a crush on Dean so we thought to set this little "date" up and make it look like just a casually hangout with friends." Linda explained.

Charlie laughed. "You can be so mischievous… I love it!"

Linda kissed him before resting her head on his shoulder with a satisfied smile on her face.
