Atlas gets to it, and I skate like a demon possessed to get in position for the pass and closer to their goalie.

The puck has made contact with the back of the net.

Ant heads off to chat with some football players, while Tim tries to charm a blonde girl who looks like she'd rather be anywhere else. The blonde turns her head and I'm met with a light blue pair of eyes that are hungrily locked onto me. Never mind, looks like she'd rather be near me.
