Harvey Mendoza has always loved playing hockey, just not in Miami. Her and her brother always dreamed of playing in the NHL, and they were getting closer and closer to achieving that dream. Harvey, or The Bandit, has always tried to help her big brother stop in his skates, but it would always turn into a big mess. Harvey's brother was currently laying on the cold floor, after a brutal fall as his sister skated towards him.

"I'm never gonna get the hang of this." She smirked as she helped her big brother off the floor and onto his skates. Harvey also grabbed his helmet and handed it to him.

"I know you can, Lu. You're a Mendoza, you can do anything. Besides, if they don't take you, they can't have me." Her big brother smiled as they made their way off the rink and towards the locker room, getting ready to leave. They pack up their gear and put on their in lines. If they weren't going to ice skate, they were going to rollerblade. The Mendoza twins were always up for a competition against each other. So, Luis proposed a bet between the two.

"First one home wins. Loser has to pay the other twenty bucks." Harvey knew she had that twenty in the bag, she was the faster twin after all. She nodded her head and shook his hand, agreeing. She faced in the direction of their house, tightened the strap of her bag, and bent her knees, ready to go. "3, 2, 1, go!" The twins have done this a hundred times, so Harvey knew the best shortcuts. She had to skate through the mall, and a couple of allies. She knew her brother would never skate through a mall, so she should be okay. She quickly skated past at least three allies before turning down the right one. All she had to do was skate down the hill and take a left. "Harvey!" She turned her head to see her brother coming down the hill. Her eyes widened as she pushed herself faster towards their house. Fifteen more feet and that twenty was hers. She could hear her brother's skates and heavy breath behind her as she sped past her neighbors' houses. She just had to push herself a few more steps. Victory was hers! She stopped right in front of her house as her brother also attempted to stop, but failed miserably. She covered her mouth, holding back a laugh as she saw him, crash into a trash can.

"Twenty. Pay up, Lu." Luis scoffed as his little sister helped him up from the concrete floor. He reached into his back pocket, pulling out a crumpled twenty and handing it to Harvey. She smiled as the twins made their way into the house, ready for practice the next week.

"Hey, y'all the twins right?" Harvey and Luis turned around to see a boy in hockey gear with a cowboy hat on his head. They looked at each other and chuckled a bit before turning to the boy and nodding.

"I'm Luis. This is Harvey." The boy looked confused as they shook hands.

"I'm Dwayne." His southern accent made the twins looked at each other and smile, grabbing their helmets and sticks. Julie, Dean, Dwayne, Luis, Harvey, and Ken all skated onto the ice to see a team wearing green uniforms. Harvey looked at her brother and nodded her head before giving him a high-five and fixing her jersey. Harvey has been number twenty three for as long as she could remember. It's mostly because her big brother had gotten twenty two and she just wanted to have a close number.

"Luis Mendoza, he's from our Miami club. A real speedster, incredible skater. Clocked him at 1.9 seconds, blue line to blue line." Luis put his helmet on and started skating backwards and forwards around the rink, kneeling down to touch the ice as he went. As Luis was skating one of the boys elbowed one of the other boys causing Harvey to laugh. Her laugh was heard from across the rink by Adam. He looked at her and a smile immediately came across his face, hoping she would be on the team. "There's just one minor problem." Luis skated right into the glass, causing all of the new skaters to go and help him, all of them besides Harvey. "He has trouble stopping." Luis looked at his sister and smiled.
