"Alina, would you like to go to my hockey practice today?" Jonathan came up to me while he had his hockey bag up on his shoulder.

"Hmm, you think I should come with you, Captain Serious?" I smirked at him as I looked up at him from the Arsenal-Manchester United game that I was watching.

"Yeah! Well, I think you're going to like hockey; trust me!"

"Oh, alright! I'll come to your practice!"

I got off the couch and quickly ran upstairs to get changed into my Toews jersey with a few minutes left to spare. Walking over to the coffee table, I grabbed my phone and wallet, before following Jonathan to the car to get to the United Center.

"Hey, Tazer! I see you brought your girlfriend!" One of his teammates skated up to us and smiled, "hi, I'm Patrick Kane, but you can call me Kaner or Patty."

I smiled and shook his hand, "it's nice to meet you, Kaner. My name's Alina."

"Patrick! Coach want talk with you. Thing about offense production?" I heard a Russian accent skated up to us and looked at our group.

"Alina, this is Artemi Panarin; one of the Blackhawks' rookies. He just moved to the States from Russia last year." Patrick pointed toward their teammate and I shook hands with Artemi.

"It's very nice to meet you, Artemi!" I smiled and pulled away.

"Nice meet you, Alina. As you know, my name Artemi." Artemi smiled as more and more of the players had introduced themselves to me before Coach Q had the practice begin.

It was very fun to see the Blackhawks practice, yeah it was very fun to see the guys act like goofballs compared to their business-like behavior on-ice.

"Hey, BreadMan!" I heard Kaner yell out to Artemi and looked up.

Artemi skated over to Patrick and looked at him like a little kid.

"Da, Patrick?" He looked at Kaner in a confused manner before he lifted Artemi up in his arms. "Johnny! Help! Patrick crazy!"

At first, Jonathan was talking with Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, and Niklas Hjalmarsson before he looked up at the two man-child's crazy antics and skated over to them.

"Hey, hey, hey! Knock it off you two!" Jonathan said in his serious tone and we all rolled our eyes, "what? If I'm Captain Serious, then let me be!"

I rolled my eyes and Trevor van Riemsdyk wolf-whistled at me, "hey, Alina! Could you make Captain Serious, Captain Cool for a second?"

"Trevor, have you seen Johnny's dance moves? Dude, he is not Captain Cool." Teuvo snickered and Jonathan glared at him.

"Everybody, back to practice, NOW!" He growled and they all nodded their heads.

"You are one Captain Serious, Tazer..." I joked as I carried his hockey equipment into the car.

"Oh, they just call me that because I have a serious face." Johnny shrugged his shoulders as he got into the car.

Shutting the trunk door, I walked over to the passenger door and got in. I buckled in my seatbelt and I saw Jonathan smile.

"What're you smiling about, Tazer?" I looked at him like he was crazy.

"Seeing you in my jersey, dang I love you so much..." Johnny mumbled while I giggled and blushed.

"I love you too, Jonathan Bryan Toews..." I smiled and kissed his lips.
