Today was Wednesday and everyone was so excited that they got to go support Dinah in her first game as a Dallas Wing.

The family of three were joined with Ally and the new guy she was dating, Will.

They all wanted to get jerseys or any type of fan gear to show their support.

"Ooh! Mama I want that one!" Daniel pointed to the neon yellow jersey with blue stripes on the sides. He then frowned and quickly threw it back on the rack.

Normani furrowed her eyebrows. "Why did you put it back then?" She asked from beside him.

"Because it says Diggins on the back. I want it to say Hansen." He poked his lower lip out and crossed his arms.

Dinah chuckled at the young boy. "It's okay baby boy. I'll have my own jersey in stores sooner than later." She reassured the 8 year old. "For now though, let's see if they have this one in your size." She extended her arm and waited for her son to stop pouting and uncross his arms to take her hand in his. Once he did, they walked up to one of the employees at Dick's sporting goods and asked for more jerseys like that one in each of their sizes.

Meanwhile, Normani continued looking for other gear to represent Dinah's new team. As she was looking around the store, she noticed that there was mostly headgear for the team she was looking for.

When she saw a navy blue headband with the Dallas Wings logo, she immediately decided that she liked that one the best. She grabbed it and walked around trying to find anything that will match it.

A few minutes later, she saw Will holding up a long sleeved shirt that matched her headband, and began walking over to him. "Hey, that shirt is nice. Where'd you find it?" Normani asked him with a small smile.

He pointed over to a rack filled with similar like shirts. Normani looked over in that direction nodding, and looked back over to Will with a smile. "Over there by Ally." The blue eyed man informed her.

Normani thanked him before walking over to her friend.

When she was walking towards Ally, she saw her looking through a rack of jerseys, but as she got closer to her friend - she noticed that the woman had two pairs of socks that were cute but sadly they weren't Dinah's team socks.

Normani was about to let the smaller woman know, but she was interrupted when Ally spoke first. "Oh, hey Manibear. Have you found anything yet?"

"Just this headband so far, but these shirts look nice." Normani said, holding up the Dallas Wings' headband and then shuffling through the shirt rack. "What about you? Are you a Wings' fan or are you a Lynx fan?" She teased.

Ally looked down at the socks and read the logo closely. Her mouth then fell open in realization. "Oh shoot! I didn't even realize. " She said before replacing the peice of clothing with the correct one.

Normani just waved her off and changed the subject. "So...Will...." She left her sentence hanging in the air - leaving room for Ally to fill her in on anything about the new man in her life.

There was so many good things to say about the man. Ally didn't know where to start, but eventually she began blushing about the fact that Will was so sweet and he always said nice things that kept her mind replaying those words and the image of his blue eyes and the curl of lips when she said something silly.

Normani could tell by the way that her friend described the man, that they had something very special and that their friendship, or friendship, would last a really long time.

Based off of what she knew about Will prior to Ally bragging about him, she noticed that he was a very nice guy. He held the door open for all of them whenever Dinah didn't, he joked around with Daniel as much as he could to keep him entertained and he would hold Ally's hand when we were walking around the mall.
