"Well, this is shit." Jamie sat down next to the redhead after a devastating exhibition in Amsterdam. The mood on the bus was abysmal, with players sulking and coaches muttering to themselves about what else they could have done. They had been in a complete rut for almost ten weeks now, and it had only gotten worse with Zava gone.
"Hey, don't say that. It will get better; you just have to give it time." Tallulah tried to comfort him, but to no avail. Jamie responded with only a groan.
"Oh, come on. We're in Amsterdam! How often do we get to be with the Dutch?" she tried again.
"We get to be with the Dutch all the time," Jamie continued his negative attitude. "Jan Maas is always here." He gestured to the man who was only now getting onto the bus along with Roy, both of whom had stayed for a quick interview.
Tallulah rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean. I love Amsterdam. So much nightlife, live music, amazing restaurants, beautiful beaches."
"Since when have you been to Amsterdam?" Jamie questioned, shifting his gaze from the window to the girl beside him.
"I went once with my friend Joe. Our band had a gig at a little sketchy pub, but it was honestly the most fun I ever had touring with them," she explained.
"Whatever," Jamie mumbled, still in his fit of despair, and sulked back to look out the window.
Just then, Ted stood up from his seat at the front of the bus. "Hey, fellas, and Bambi of course. I'm about to say three words no coach ever says unless he dang well means it."
"You're all shit," Colin guessed from behind the pair, making Tallulah scowl at him.
"You're not shit, Colin. You're a strong and capable man."
Bumbercatch gave his own guess as well. "Knowledge is power?"
"True, but no," Ted replied.
"Live, laugh, love," Sam gave the final guess, to which Ted responded with an angry buzzer noise before finally revealing the three words coaches don't say unless they really mean it: "No curfew tonight."
The players immediately began to buzz with excitement, Tallulah beaming at Jamie, who finally began to share the smile as well. "That's right. I don't wanna see your pretty faces until we get back on the bus at what time, Coach?" Ted looked down at Beard, who was sitting next to him.
