I walked into my locker room and as soon as I opened the door I was greeted by the sound of “Happy Birthday!!!”
I screamed as I hit the floor but as I looked up I saw the team, staff, our coaches and Brianna laughing their heads off.
“Holy crap!” I walked into the locker room “What is going on here?”
“Your surprise Birthday Party!” Milan shouted.
I chuckled “At seven thirty in the morning?”
“Hey it’s different.”
I looked over at coach Julien “Wow coach, no practice today?”
Coach laughed “No there will be practice later on, but the guys thought it would be fun to celebrate your birthday.”
I smiled and looked around the locker room “You guys do too much.”
“Before we start the party, did you bring them?” Marchand asked.
I rolled my eyes “Yes Marchy I brought the munchkins.”
Marchand cheered “Yeah! Man you are the best Army!”
I laughed and placed the munchkins on the table. As I looked up that was when I noticed that there were gifts and a lot of them. I huffed and looked up at the guys “What is over there?”
“Nothing.” Horton said.
“It doesn’t look like nothing. I thought I told you guys that I didn’t want anything for my birthday.”
“I didn’t get you anything.” Tyler mumbled as he was eating some munchkins.
I looked at Tyler “Thank you! See why can’t you guys just do what Segs did.”
Thorty placed his hand on my shoulder “Don’t you worry about anything. Just go and eat some yummy food.”
I turned around and that was when I saw Chara, Timmy, and Boychuk holding a cake up. The lights went out and everyone began to sing, happy birthday.
I covered my face and just laughed “Oh man.”
“Make a wish.” Bree said as she draped her arms over my shoulders.
“Alright.” I closed my eyes and blew out the candles.
“Yay!”
The guys clapped and Tyler turned the light back on. “Okay, time to eat cake.”
I stopped and looked at the guys “Seriously? I can’t eat cake I’m on a diet.”
“It’s your birthday besides you should be gaining some more muscle.” McQuaid said.
“Adam cake does not make you gain more muscle.”
“Oh you know what I mean. Now let’s eat some cake.”
I moaned “But I brushed my teeth already.”
~~~~~~
I sat back in my chair. “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I ate all of that.” I looked up at coach “I don’t think I’m going to be able to practice.”
Coach laughed and patted me on the head “Don’t worry you’ll burn off all those calories on the ice. Now if you would excuse me, I got to go review the play book with Doug.” Before leaving the locker room he said “Practice will be in half an hour.”
