"Are we almost there yet?" I question as I snuggle with Blake.
"I think that's a question for you Isabella." Blake says with a smile as she plays with my hair. "You spent four years up here."
"But I've been busy looking at you so I don't know where we are." I say.
"You are so whipped." I hear Emma Harris say from the bus row behind me.
"Oh like you're not whipped." Jessie says.
"...Touché." Emma says.
"Psst." Talia says from the row in front of me and Blake.
"Yes?" I question.
"We're almost there so do you wanna talk about what we'll be doing." Talia says.
Today is January 31st, 2025 and we're touring West Point ahead of our game here at West Point tomorrow.
Oh and FYI, I've been doing a lot better since my little incident after the Vancouver game two weeks ago.
"Sure." I say then Talia hands me a list before I stand up.
Once I'm stood up I head to the front of the bus and grab the microphone
"Alright people." I say into the mic. "We are almost at West Point so if you could all gather your things that'd be great."
I sound like a teacher.
"While you do that I'll talk you through what's going to happen." I say as I look at the list I was given.

"So once we get to West Point there will be cadets waiting to lead all of us around to tour the campus." I say. "If you have a big family it'll just be your family and a single cadet, but if it's just two or three of you then the cadets may group up for your tour."
I could've probably done this for all of us myself, but West Point offered so why not.
"Just listen to the cadets if they tell you to do something." I say. "And do your best to put your trash in trashcans."
"Tell them about dinner." Talia mouths.
"And seeing as how it's unusually warm for New York in the winter." I say. "Us and the Pittsburgh Penguins player's and their families are having dinner with all the cadets on The Plain and eating food from food trucks that's already been paid for."
"We're here." The bus driver says.
"Sweet." I say as the bus stops. "Come on Waffles."
Waffles woofs then she leads Blake to me.
Once Waffles and Blake get to me, the three of us lead everyone off the bus.
When we get off the bus we're greeted by twenty cadets.
