Chapter 4 - Swimming Pools and Ducts

The whistles are blown, both teams skating out onto the ice with ease. I am greeted with a smile from the brothers on the opposing team, the two talking loudly across the ice.

"Rules, no checking," Dream is cut off immediately, everyone groaning.

"Checking, checking, checking," I start to chant, the rest of the girls joining in

"We're gonna hurt you guys," Boomer yells.

The rest of my team takes a moment to look at each other, we all know the man is right.

"No side checks?" Hannah offers, the boys repeating the action and looking at one another.

"Checking for everyone but the defensemen?" Sapnap counters, Punz and Boomer groaning at the suggestion, the brunette turning to look at them, "Shut up."

"Sorry," Punz laughs, "sir."

"Okay, okay, can we start?" I finally break the conversation, the boys' attention being brought back to me.

"Yeah, yeah, no side checking, no pulling goalies, penalties are counted," Dream finally finishes his statement.

The puck is dropped at center ice, Hannah and Dream immediately rushing for it. The two co-captains are easily the fastest skaters on their respective teams, the blonde beating her by just a moment, quickly turning to the left looking for a pass.

The game is much more fast paced than the scrimmage played the evening before, everyone using call outs, the teams becoming competitive fast.

"Open," I shout, Anika immediately looking for my voice.

Quick eye contact is made before the puck shoots across the ice, landing directly in my stick.

"Sap!" I can hear Dream's voice yell, my mind not thinking much of it.

But my body sure does.

Before I can register the man coming up behind me, I'm thrown into the boards, yelling immediately sparking around the ice.

"Side check! That was a fucking side check," I can make out Niki's voice all the way from her goal.

Besides the typical pain in my side, I can tell I'm not hurt, immediately picking myself off the ice just in time to see two bodies collide in front of me.

"What the fuck?" I can hear yells starting to come from both sides, eyes locked on the two people who just crashed.

Punz is standing over the brunette's body, stick dropped and gloves off.

Oh fucking hell.

"Dude what the fuck? We had rules for a reason," the blonde's voice fills the rink, Sapnap immediately pulling himself from off the ice.

"She's fine!" the brunette counters, "She's been hit way harder by every single person on this ice."

My voice finally comes back to my throat,"I'm fine!" everyone's eyes are back on me, my teammates rushing over to me, Niki somehow getting there first.

The pink haired girl drops down onto her padding, reaching for my helmet straps.

"Niki," I pull her hand back, "I'm fine."

"See? She's fine!" Sapnap shouts again.

"Shut the fuck up Sap," Dream's voice is eerily calm, "Box, ten minutes."

"Ten minutes?!" the brunette's voice cracks at the end.

"You're lucky Punz doesn't have you in a stretcher," I finally speak to the man who hit me, Punz turning to look at me, a smile creeping onto his face.
