We made it back to Minnesota and Bombay invited us all to a campfire. Of course me, Luis, Dean, Ken, Julie, and Dwayne all came together but the rest of the team came all separately.

I sat down on a log next to Luis, "And here's your s'more." He passed me one. "You didn't have to you know?" I retorted. "I know but I did so enjoy it." We all sat around and listened to Dwayne's guitar. "Whoa! Help me!" Averman had set his marshmallow on fire.

"You're not supposed to light it on fire!" Charlie said frantically putting out the fire. Everyone started laughing and Dwayne started playing 'We are the Champions' on his guitar.

Averman started singing, "I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime." Everyone then joined in, "And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face but I've come through and we go on and on and on and on We are the champions my friends and we'll keep on fighting 'til the end we are the champions we are the champions no time for losers."

After the campfire all of us went back to hotel, this time my room was with Julie. The others were in our room, "So I call this a successful trip, how about you guys?" Dean asked. I looked at Luis and the others, "I agree." Dwayne agreed.

"I will say, I'm forever gonna hold a grudge against Iceland." Luis spoke. I nodded my head, "Ken, Julie how about you guys?" "Oh yeah it was successful!" Ken agreed.

"You're lucky Luis, Vivian, and Ken you guys get to go back to beaches, I gotta go take care of my animals!" Dwayne spoke. "Yeah, but I gotta spend my money on plane tickets to South Carolina." Luis retorted. "Hey you're the one that offered to buy yours, just cause I'm rich doesn't mean I'll sugar mommy you." I argued.

"Yeah she only sugar mommy's me and Connie." Julie sarcastically said rolling her eyes. "Trust me I know, but if she wants to come to Miami she's buying her own ticket." Luis sassily said. I shoved his face.

"Well me and Ken are gonna go hit the hay!" Dwayne announced. "See ya on the bus tomorrow morning!" I called out as they left the room. "You wanna go chill in my room?" Dean asked Julie. "Why not." She got up and left.

"So what is there to do in South Carolina?" Luis asked me. "Well you're gonna hang out with me at my house, we can go to the beach, a little fun place, and you can meet my hockey team." I stated. "And what are you doing for your birthday?"

"My family always hosts a party so, if you wanna come then I'll buy your ticket." I smiled. "And what you can do in Miami, is hang out with my family again and meet my hockey team." He smiled.

"But watch out my team is gonna hit on you for warning." I rolled my eyes at the comment. I laid my head on his shoulder, "We should call Julie and Dean." Luis suggested. I dialed in their room number, "Julie, Dean what are you guys doing?" I taunted.

"We're watching a movie now go away." Dean hung up. "Best if we leave them be." I laughed. "Well, wanna watch a movie?" Luis asked. "Sure I'll go get a movie out of my bag." He stopped me from getting up and then he got out of bed.

He put the comforter over me, "No you stay here I'll be right back I promise." He left the room and I just sat there. A few minutes later he came back in, "They're watching Top Gun so I grabbed my candy and The Goonies." He put the movie in and got under the covers with me.

"I grabbed twizzlers." He pulled them out. "Luis you know I hate twizzlers right?" I questioned him. "Yes so I grabbed you gummy worms." I smiled and pecked him on the cheek. I turned off the lamp and moved closer to Luis.

"You know it's gonna suck not seeing each other 24/7." He softly spoke. "Yeah I know, but trust and a little bit of travel is what will keep this working." I reassured, grabbing ahold of his hand.

Luis fell asleep in the middle of the movie, god he was a pretty sleeper. I turned off the movie and curled up next to him, I knew Julie and Dean were probably asleep, so they'll have to sneak back in the morning. After a bit of staring at the ceiling and thinking I finally fell asleep at 11:30.

The next morning we packed up all our stuff and made our way onto the bus back to the airport. Me and Luis sat next to each other taking pictures yet again. The entire team was at the airport shockingly.

First we said buy to Kenny, then Dean, then Dwayne, then Julie, then came Luis' turn. We were in front of his gate everyone hugged him bye, and then he gave me a hug. "I'll see you soon alright?" I nodded my head and he gave me a kiss. He waved bye and then made his way onto the plane.

Lastly my turn, I sighed. "Come here!" Connie yelled pulling me into a hug. "You all are coming to my birthday, I will send your guys airline tickets through the mail alright?" I said. They all hugged me. Bombay came up to me, "I know we got off on a rough start, but I will miss you Vivian. You're a great player, stay tough." He smiled and hugged me.

"I'll see ya later Coach." I smiled heading to my airplane. They all waved bye and I waved back, I was sat next to this girl and her brother. "Hey you're from Team U.S.A right!?" The boy asked me. "Yeah I am." I replied.

"Oh you guys are great." His sister chimed in. "Thank you!" I replied. They nodded their heads and I put my headphones on and began listening to my cassette tape.

When I got all my luggage my family and team was there waiting for me. I ran up to them and hugged them, "God I missed you guys." "We missed you to." Jackson said. On our way out of the airport, Andrew asked me something.

"Are you still dating the Luis boy?" He asked. "Yeah?" I looked at him. "Damnt!" He said walking away. I looked at Emerson and Brooke, we burst out laughing. Brooke drove home me and spent the night.

"I went looking for a great opportunity and I came out with an amazing boyfriend, and an amazing hockey family." I told my family. "We're glad honey." My mom said. "So am I." I smiled looking out my window.
