"Look at them." Allison whispers as she points to Maddie and Jack who are laughing at something said between them. Jesper looks over Allison to see them.

"Jack's would do anything for her. He's in knee deep and I don't think he regrets anything." Jesper whispers back. Allison grins and lets out a laugh to herself.

"Called it." Allison whispers to herself. Jesper gives her a look, but ultimately brushes it off. Allison quickly averts her gaze from the (hopefully) new couple as Maddie looks over at her and Jesper. Jesper offers her a wave, but then makes a motion for her to go back to her conversation with Jack. Jesper lets out a breathy laugh as he leans back in his seat with a smile. Jesper's eyes poured into Allison's as they sat there looking at each other. Jesper then leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips.

"I have something for you. I want you to wear it to the All-Star Tournment." Jesper reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box. It wasn't big enough to be a jersey or anything, Allison was already going to wear her Bratt jersey. Jesper hands it over to her for her to open.

"Jesper... this is perfect." Allison held up a golden necklace with a JB63 charm in the middle of the chain. Well, it wasn't a charm, it was actually in the chain and Allison thought it was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen.

"I thought you would like it. It was custom made so I can't give it back if you didn't." Jesper laughed awkwardly. Allison's eyes widened.

"Even if I didn't like it, I'd never have you take it back. I'd keep it and wear it because it's from you." Allison spoke quickly, the words falling from her mouth like she'd been holding them in for years. Jesper's expression softened as he looked at the girl before him. He wanted to reach out and grab her necklace to put it on, but it could be overstepping. He didn't know if she wanted it on yet.

"I'll wear it to the games tonight." Allison smiled. Jesper nodded before leaning back in to kiss Allison's forehead.

...

Allison looked herself over in the mirror one last time before leaving with Jesper. She was wearing her Bratt jersey over a black sweatshirt and some black pants. She wore white shoes which had a few streaks of gold on them and some gold jewelry. She thought she looked good, and hopefully everyone else did too.

"Baby, are you ready?" Jesper asked as he knocked on the hotel bathroom door. Allison called back and then opened the door, stepping out into the small hallway by the door of their hotel room. Jesper looked her over with a smile.

"You look nice." Allison smiled. Jesper's cheeks flushed a light shade of pink before he responded.

"Why thank you. You look amazing too. I love your necklace." Jesper grinned. Allison let out a breathy laugh before she leaned in to give a Jesper a quick kiss.

"Now we've gotta go." Allison opened the door and took a quick step out. Jesper followed after her and closed the door, making sure it was locked.

...

"Jesper, you have to go! You're going to be late." Allison laughed as Jesper just tightened his grip around the girl. He laughed as Allison struggled against his grip. He planted another kiss on her lips.

"Babe, you have to leave. People are waiting." Allison grinned as she finally pushed herself away from Jesper. He sighed dramatically when he took a step back from Allison and towards the door he should have walked through by now.

"Good luck, superstar." Allison smiled as she turned to walk away from Jesper.
