Scene 6

(Scene opens with Ashlynn, Fin, Sara, Lynn, Kelli, and Jessie sitting on a bench at the hockey game)

All: *muted talking*

Fin: I've just never been to a hockey game

Ashlynn: I grew up on the ice.

Fin: So why don't you play?

Ashlynn: I like my teeth *chuckle*

Fin: Huh?

Ashlynn: you bust a lot of things in this game.

Fin: Really?

Ashlynn: Yeah, you know my brothers two front teeth?

Fin: Well, not personally. *small laugh*

Ashlynn: *snickers* well they aren't his.

Fin: What? Really?

Ashlynn: Yup, got them clubbed out of his skull about three years ago.

Lynn: But the crazy man still wants to play.

Ashlynn: That's Joey for you

Fin: Wait, is that-?

Ashlynn: Jackson. Yup

Fin: What is he doing here?

Ashlynn: He's on the team. All of them are York, Jazz, Theo.

(Xsandra enters box)

Xsandra: I better have heard what I think I just heard

(Enter Delora and Athena)

Ashlynn: A lot of the people that go to our school come here. They either play or watch.

Fin: Zinnia?

Ashlynn: This is a place where York comes very very often. It's like a bird watching stations, but for York. What do you think? *points to another side of the rink where Zinnia is seated beside Gena*

Fin: Any problems?

Ashlynn: She would never try anything when my family is here.

Xsandra: I must say I am starting to like the sound of this "Zinnia" girl.

Delora: She's so mean

Xsandra: What do you know?

Delora: More than you

Xsandra: Oh yeah, like what?

Delora: Smiling!

Xsandra: *flashes fake mocking smile*

Fin: I think it's good that Jackson is on the ice. At least there's a wall between us.

Ashlynn: He's so annoying, a total meathead

Fin: it's worse for you though. Zinnia is awful

Ashlynn: Well, I mean she's bad, but she's never done to me what Jackson has done to you.

Fin: Still awful

Delora: Did I miss the pretzels?

Ashlynn: You don't deserve what those jockstraps give you.

Fin: Thanks, Ash, but I really don't know-

Delora: I know

Fin: Is just that it feels normal to me now. I've been bull-

(Delora steps into stage and Ashlynn starts to mimic her)

Delora and Ashlynn: *hugs Fin* You are way too amazing for that Fin. Please don't be sad.
