Hockey's Our Game

Chapter 12

I woke up extra early on Christmas and texted Troy.

<you up?

>yeah! Ready to do this, is Aunt Ansley doing it too?

<I was born ready, why wouldn’t she lol?

>good point

I stopped replying to him, every Christmas morning Troy and I would wake up our parents in a ridiculous fashion, it was different every year. This year with the help of our aunt Ansley we are going to barge in with an air horn and play a game of hockey on our roller blades. Aunt Ansley is going to be the ref and blow the air horn and videotape their reactions. I went into Troy’s room and I had my stick with me and had my roller blades in my hands. “Ready?” I asked smiling.

“It’s only 7:02” he said yawning.

“But we’re waking them up with an air horn and an indoor hockey game” I said and handed him one of my old sticks and he grabbed his roller blades and we walked to the guest room.

He nodded in agreement “this is very true, and the very first.” Aunt Ansley was in a ref’s jersey and had the air horn handy. “Ready?” he asked her.

“I am but you two need jerseys to make it more official” she said and she was totally right.

“Grab your Toews jersey and I’ll wear my Kaner one” I said and we spilt up and met back in the hallway in our jerseys. “Now we’re really ready” I smiled and we made our way downstairs and put on our roller blades. I had an indoor puck with me and gave it to aunt Ansley and she smiled evilly when she grabbed it.

She walked in their room quietly and put the video camera on a dresser and their room was big enough where it fit it all in one shot. We followed quietly and got set in position and we were in front of their bed with them in the back, you could clearly see what we were doing, their room was huge. Aunt Ansley blew the horn “go!” she yelled and dropped the puck and our game started and our parents flipped and sat up quickly and screamed. They saw what we were doing and I deked around Troy and ‘scored’ “goal for Kaner!” aunt Ansley yelled.

We all smiled and laughed and then Troy, aunt Ansley and I jumped on our parent’s bed “Merry Christmas!”

Our parents were laughing uncontrollably then we all started laughing “merry Christmas you goons” my mom said hugging us.

“This is a new one for the books” my dad laughed “very creative, Tori I assume you had a lot to do with this” I nodded and smiled “well done children, but I saw we go eat now.”

We all agreed and then I shut off the camera for now, my family loves to videotape all big moments, it’s so we don’t forget anything important. My mom made cinnamon rolls, eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles, and toast with orange juice and chocolate milk. We didn’t have a food fight because we had family coming over today and Mia’s family comes over too in the morning and then they leave around the time my dad’s side of the family comes because they have to go to carol’s family’s house.

Mia came running through the door and grabbed me and pulled me upstairs with her, “look what I have” she held up the most beautiful pieces of clothing to fit the holiday ever. We got dress and pressed our ears against my wall to hear everyone. “It sounds like everyone’s in the living room”

“Mia and Tori get your butt’s down here were doing presents now!” my mom yelled.

“Perfect because the camera is on now” I smiled.

“Coming” we both yelled sweetly.

“Oh boy” I heard Jake say before we even came out of my room.
