"HA, AND THATS A W FOR THE BOYS!" Drew yelled, giving Toews, his partner a high five.

"We demand a rematch!" Alex scoffed, putting chalk on his pool cue, Geno, his partner already setting the table back up.

For once, everyone wasn't all together. Andre, Andrew, Mark and Tyler were all playing NHL17 on the PS4, Jamie, Patrick, Quick and Steven all lounging by the pool. Alex, Evgeni, Jonathan Toews, and Drew were playing pool in the game room inside, the rest all swimming in the pool.

Dylan however, was in her room. She needed her alone time. She needed that time to call her friends and family. Normally she took an hour or two every few days and just cuddled up in bed for a little bit. Today was different though. When she checked her email, Dylan had jumped out of bed and ran down the flight of stairs, not wanting to wait for an elevator.

Running outside, she called everyone to meet her in the game room, where majority of the boys already were. She waited impatiently as one by one the hockey players slowly filled the room.

Jonathan Quick was the first to speak up once everyone was in the room."Can we make this Quick? Patty and I are playin' Tavares and Crow in ping pong."

Dylan rolled her eyes, "you'll be glad I called you in here. We got an email." She grinned, her eyes sparkling as she thought of what the email said.

The guys all perked up at this, waiting impatiently for Dylan to continue. "Well c'mon!" Alex bubbled with excitement.

Dylan cleared her throat as she opened the email, immediately reading it out loud.

Hello... everyone,

I appreciate your email, and how passionate you all are about this situation. It's nothing personal going against you players, it's just how it works, and what we, as an organization, think is best. We agree that the Olympics is a fun opportunity for you players, though we can't help but think about how it benefits our league. We think, it simply doesn't. So although we appreciate how passionate you are about this, and your determination through this all, I cannot say this is helping your case. Though this definitely has brought some attention to us, it has not persuaded me to do anything that will send you players to Korea.

Thanks,

Gary Bettman.

Evgeni scrunched up his nose, "you're not welcome."

Sidney chuckled, "at least he didn't say with love."

"That b-" Alex started.

"We're making another video," Dylan blurted, shutting her Macbook and placing it on the pool table.

Tavares nodded, "yeah that's a good idea."

Everyone was clearly furious with Bettman's lack of sympathy, though when Dylan brought up making another video, everyone grinned evilly.

Evgeni was the first to speak up, "we make video to Bettman harsh?"

Everyone's head turned to Dylan, who bit her lip and cracked her knuckles, a grin plastering her face. "Oh Geno, he won't even know what hit him."
