Of Hearts and Hockey Sticks

It's been a month since Kelsi was diagnosed with a concussion. Two weeks ago she started non contact practice. This week she started contact drills with the team and will suit up this weekend for a game against Chicago.

Kelsi:(at practice)"Hey coach!"

Dan:"Yes?"

Kelsi:"Am I gonna be with Sid and Duper this weekend?"

Dan:"Considering that's who you've been doing line rushes with, yes."

Kelsi:"Great! Thanks coach!"

Dan:"you're welcome. (Thinks) may I ask you a personal question?"

Kelsi:"Go for it."

Dan:"Are you and Sid ok?"

Kelsi:"Yeah we're fine. Why do you ask?"

Dan:"He seems a little edgy lately. I was wondering if something happened with you two."

Kelsi:"Nope. We're fine. He might be a little on edge since we had Beauner and Tuz move in with us."

Dan:"That's certainly possible. Sid is very... Particular in regards to his life. Having them move in may have messed up his routine."

Kelsi:"I didn't mess up his routine when I moved in though."

Dan:"Correct. However you are a pretty girl, Beau and Robert are not."

Kelsi:"What does me being pretty have to do with anything? Oh and thanks."

Dan:"Maybe Sid didn't find you a hindrance like he might find the boys."

Kelsi:"oh I got it now. He should be fine soon."

Dan:"That's what i figured."

~Later that day at Sid and Kelsi's house~

Kelsi:"Hey baby?"

Sid:"Yes?"

Kelsi:"Dan asked me an interesting question today."

Sid:"What?"

Kelsi:"He asked if you and I were ok, you seemed edgy lately."

Sid:"Im not edgy, I'm fine."

Kelsi:"Are you sure baby? Dan and I thought maybe your routine got thrown off when Beauner and Tuz moved in with us."

Sid:"I'm..... Your right, I've just been a little on edge lately. I'm not used to change and Im having a hard time adjusting."

Kelsi:"It's ok baby. Not everyone adapts to change easily."

Sid:"I know. I just wish I adapted easier."

Kelsi:"I know you do. But guess what? You can take all the time you need to adapt to this change."

Sid:(smiles)"I love you."

Kelsi:"I love you too."

Sid:"Im gonna go shower(pauses) wanna conserve water???"

Kelsi:(Laughs)"You are terrible!"

Sid:"That doesn't answer my question..."

Kelsi:"May as well right? No point in wasting water...."

Sid:"I knew you couldn't resist my charm."

Kelsi:"Psh you think I'm doing this for you? I'm only doing it because I'm going green."

Sid:"Yeah right. You love (gestures to himself) all this."

Kelsi:"Fine you caught me. You are being very cocky today by the way."

Sid:"Im allowed to be cocky every once in a while."

Kelsi:"True."

Sid:(lifts her up)"Lets conserve water together!"

Kelsi:(laughs)"Lead the way!"

~they both get in the shower.~
