The next spring on; May seventeenth Kay woke & got ready for her big day. She stood nervously at the back of the church, anxiously awaiting the start of the ceremony.. At one thirty the organist started to play the music as the priest, Sid, & Marc-André came out of the sacristy. Andrea, Nikki, Vicky, Taylor, & Amy came down the aisle & they were followed by Madison & Jesse. Everyone as Kailey made her way down the aisle in her long white dress. They went through the whole mass then got to the good part.
"Do you Sidney; take Kailey to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have & to hold, to love & to cherish, for richer or poorer, in sickness & health, as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," he said with a smile & looked deep into Kailey's blue eyes.
"Do you Kailey take Sidney to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have & to hold, to love & to cherish, for richer or poorer, in sickness & in health, as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"By the power vested in me I now pronounce you man & wife, you may kiss the bride."
And that is exactly what Sid did. Afterwards they left the church & lived happily ever after.
The
End
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah rite, no story ends like that. At the reception everyone did the Cha Cha slide & the hamster dance just like Kay said they would. They danced & partied until about one am. The wedding was absolutely beautiful. Kay`s dress was white, the bride’s maid’s dresses were baby blue, the flower girl’s dress was white, the tuxes were black. The flowers in the church were yellow roses & so were the bouquets, the boutonnières were red roses. Two days later the happy couple went to the airport & to the Bahamas for two weeks. They had a lot of fun to put it simply. Nine months later they became the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl. Angel Marie was born on March ninth and had blue eyes & brown hair.

SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] Eleven; A Life With Sid
November came and on the twelfth Kay woke up at nine-thirty & rolled over in bed to find an envelope on the nightstand. She picked it up, found a paper inside and pulled it out, curious to see what was written. She quickly but carefully unfolded the paper before reading the hand written note from Sid.
'Kailey, Happy Anniversary. Can you believe it we`ve been together for eight years. Look in the closet, there`s a new dress that I picked out for you. I know that you don`t like dresses but I think you`ll like this one. Wear it tonight & meet me outside at five-thirty. Sorry I`m not there, coach called this morning and only wanted players to come for practice. You looked so peacefully, I didn`t want to wake you before I left. Love you so much. Sidney'
At four she took a showered, dried and straightened her hair. She opened her closet to find the new dress. Sidney was right, she did like it. It was dark blue, knee length, & spaghetti strap. Her silver four inch heels went well with it and they made her look taller. Light make-up was applied and the locket that Sid had given her for her fifteenth birthday was placed around her neck. Five twenty-five came and she put on her light jacket before making her way outside.
It was five thirty, but Sid wasn`t there. She heerd footsteps and a pair of hands covered her eyes. He spun her around and left a soft kiss on her lips. "Happy Anniversary Baby."
"Happy Anniversary," she said with a smile.
"You look great in that dress."
"Thanks I really like it. So where are we going?"
"You know that really nice restaurant in the arena; well I got them to stay open just for us tonight."
"Sid, I love you."
"I love you too," he said opening the car door for her.
After dinner they went down to the locker room to talk. "Do you wanna go out and skate for a while?" Sid asked.
"Sure." Kay said walking over to her stall and changed into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. They stepped out onto the ice and skated for about an hour. It was close to eight thirty when Kay went over to the bench to get a drink. That's when she saw a jersey on the bench. "Hey Sid, someone left their jersey."
"That`s weird, are you done skating?"
"Yea, I`ll take the jersey to the locker room." She picked up the jersey, turning it around to see the name Crosby stitched across the back.
"Honey is this your jersey?"
"No," he said skating over to her.
"Well it says Crosby, but your number's not six."
"I know it`s yours."
"But my last name's Schwartz."
"It won`t be soon," he said getting down on one knee and taking a box from where the water bottles normally were. "Kailey, I love you and I`ve loved you for eight years. Will you marry me?"
"Yes Sidney Patrick I will marry you," she said smiling widely. He put the ring on her finger and the whole team came out to the ice. "Were you guys here the whole time?"
"Yeah," Bugsy said. "We wanted to help Sid make tonight special for you."
"Thanks guys, you`re all the best friends ever."
Later that night after arriving home she called Amy. "Hello?"
"Hi."
"Hey what`s up?"
"Sid and I are engaged," she said excitedly.
"That`s great."
"I know I`m getting married."
"Congrats."
"Thanks."
"Well I`ll let you go be with Sid."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye."
The next day everyone on the team went to the Saddledome to play the flames & won 6-2.

SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] Ten; The Job
Kay had just graduated from college which made her twenty-one & Sid twenty-five. A few days after graduation they were sitting on the couch talking. "Sid, I need a real paying job."
"So what do you wanna do?"
"Well I really wanna announce, hey are there any job openings at the arena?"
"There might be for next season. But why don`t you just keep singing at the games, everyone loves you."
"I don`t know I don`t wanna do that anymore, it`s not what I want to do with my the rest of my life. Now that I`m out of college I wanna travel with the team, so I can be with u more often."
"Well if you really wanna announce & I know that you do you`ll get to be with me everyday."
"Do you really think that I could do it?"
"You have the skill & that`s what you worked for in college. Call the arena & see if there`s an opening for next season."
"Mellon Arena this is Mary speaking how may I direct your call?"
"Hi, this is Kailey Schwartz. I have a question concerning the next season. As you know I`ve been singing the national anthem at games for the past seven years & I`m thinking of getting another job at the arena."
"Ok."
"I was wondering if there were any openings for an announcing job for this year."
"Actually there is, but before you could become an announcer you would have to try out so that the staff can make sure that you`re good at it & that you know hockey well enough to do the job."
"Ok, when will I be trying out?"
"Probably in August, when the management is gettin ready for the season."
She gave the women her phone number & hung up.
"So what did they say?"
"There`s an opening & I can try out in August," she said with a smile.
"I really hope you get the job, it would be great to have you always with the team."
In June on the eighteenth it was Kay`s birthday & she was turning twenty-two. That morning she got a call from Sid, which was weird, since they live in the same house. "Hello?"
"Hey baby, come out side, I have your present."
She walked outside to find Sid sitting inside a brand new Silver, Ford Mustang Convertible. "Who`s is that?"
"It`s your`s happy birthday baby, I know you`ve wanted one since you were fourteen."
"Thank you so much I love it."
The day after Sid`s twenty-sixth birthday Kay got a phone call. “Hello?”
“Hi, Kailey right? “
“Yes?”
“Well I know that this is short notice, but your try-out will be tomorrow, so come in at gate one & come to the radio booth, from there the people running the try-out will tell you what to do.”
“Ok, thank you, what time should I get there?”
“Your try-out out is at one pm.”
“Thank you bye.”
“Bye.”
“What was that about?” Sid asked.
“My try-out tomorrow.”
“Ok, cool.”
The next day she went to the arena & met up with Bob Errey, Phil Bourque, & Paul Steigerwald. “So what do I have to do?” she asked.
“First to make sure that you know hockey players we`re gonna say some hockey players last names & you say their first name, if you don`t know then just say pass,” Phil said sitting down to Kay`s right.
It basically went like this, “Lemieux….Mario…Brodeur…Marty…Straka…Marty…Kovalev…Alexei…
Ovechkin…Alexander…Ference…Andy & Brad……”
“Ok, you know your hockey players.”
“Now we`re gonna play a tape from a Pens game from about eight years ago, what you`re gonna do is just announce what’s happening.”
“Ok Phil.” They put the tape on, “Fata & Stevens to take the face-off. Fata pulls it back to Brooks Orpik the Penguins defenseman. Orpik brings it up to the red line & passes it up to Crosby, but it`s picked off by Devils defenseman Brain Rafalski. Rafalski takes it up into the Penguins end. Rafalski to Stevens, Stevens to Gionta. Shoot by Gionta, save by Caron, the pucks still out Caron doesn`t know where it is, rebound & another save by Penguins goaltender Sebastien Caron. Crosby wins the draw in his own zone against Zach Praise. Crosby to Recchi, Recchi to Palffy. Palffy shoot, stopped by Devils goaltender Marty Brodeur. It`s passed out to the point to Penguins defender Whitney. Whitney passes it over to his defensive partner Rob Scuderi, Scuderi back to Whitney, Whitney up to the right winger Ryan Malone. Malone, back to Whiney, Whitney to Scuderi, Scuderi up to the left winger John Leclair. Leclair to center Lassse Prijeta. Shoot by Prijeta stopped, Malone comes up for the rebound, Malone shoots, he scores Ryan Malone gives the Penguins a 4-1 lead over the New Jersey Devils.
They stopped the tape, “Well you definitely know what you`re doing that was very good,” Bob said.
“Better than I thought it was going to be,” Phil added.
“We didn`t think you would know the players names just by looking at the numbers considering the game was eight years ago,” Paul chimed in.
“Well that year was the year that I started working here & met all of them & I will always remember that it was the year that Sid & I started going out.
“You guys still together?”
“Yes Phil eight years.”
“Ok, well we`ll call you in about a week to tell you if ya got the job.”
“Ok, thanks Paul, bys guys.”
“Sid, I`m home.”
“Hey honey how’d ya do?”
“They said that I did really good.”
“I knew you would.”
“I saw you in a video from eight years ago”
“Really?”
“Yea, you were so cute, what happened?”
“Hey,” he said looking really offended.
“I`m joking, but you`re not cute anymore.” Sid started walking toward her. “You`re not cute ‘cause you`re fuckin’ sexy.”
Sid walked closer & wore an even grin. She ran into the bedroom & jumped onto the king sized bed. Sid jumped onto the bed after her & started tickling her. He tickled & she laughed for about ten minutes. Then his lips found hers & about fifteen minutes later her phone started ringing.
“Hello,” she said after pulling away.
“Hi Kailey, this is Phil Bourque calling to tell you that you got the job & when training camp starts next month you need to report with the team & will be with them almost everyday of the year.”
“Ok, thank you, bye.”
“Bye.”
“Who was that?” Sid asked.
“Oh that was Bourquey.”
“And what did he say?”
“I got the job,” said a smile forming on her face.
“That`s great, honey we`re gonna be together every single day.”
“I know, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
"So what do you wanna do?"
"Well I really wanna announce, hey are there any job openings at the arena?"
"There might be for next season. But why don`t you just keep singing at the games, everyone loves you."
"I don`t know I don`t wanna do that anymore, it`s not what I want to do with my the rest of my life. Now that I`m out of college I wanna travel with the team, so I can be with u more often."

SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] Nine; B-days & Canada
Finally they got to the Lemieux house "Hi Sid, who`s this?" Nathalie asked.
"This is Kailey, my girlfriend."
"Hi Kailey, come in guys. When did you two meet?"
"Um about three weeks ago, outside the arena."
"Well why don`t you two go into the living room & I`ll go finish making dinner."
"What are we having?" Sid asked once they walked into the living room.
"Your favorite, spaghetti."
About five minutes later Mario came down. "Nathalie, how much time til dinner?"
"Right now."
"Ok, do you know where Austen is?"
"No could you go & find him?" Nathalie asked.
"Sid can you do it?"
"Austen, food!"
Austen came running into the dining room. They all sat down & started eating.
"Hello Kailey," Mario said.
"Hi."
"I think that you should give more speeches in the locker room before games `cause that last one you gave really got the team going."
"Thanks, well I just don`t want the team to go back to the way you guys were at the beginning of the season."
"I don`t think that anyone wants us to go back to that."
After dinner Sid took Kay home & things went on like that until May. On May third the day after Andrea’s b-day Sid & Kay were at her house talking.
"So what are you gonna do this summer?" Sid asked.
"Well in August my family & I are going to Scotland for 18 days. What are you doing?"
"Nothing really, I might go see my parents for a couple days & just hang out here."
"That`s cool, hey maybe you could come to Scotland with us."
"And maybe you could come to Canada with me & meet my parents."
"Ok sounds good to me," Kay said & lay her head on his shoulder.
That weekend Kay was supposed to meet Sid at the arena to skate. But when she got there & went into the locker room he was with another girl. "Sid, how could you?"
"Kay, wait it`s not what you think."
Kay ran out to the bench, Sid came over & sat next to her. "Kay it`s not what you think, I promised that I wouldn`t cheat on you & I would never break that promise."
"Then who was that girl."
"That`s Anne, my mom sent her here, we were just talking."
"Are you lying?"
"Why would I cheat on you, I love you."
"I know it`s just I walked in & you were with her."
"I didn`t know she was coming I just walked in & she was here."
"Ok, I`m sorry."
"It`s ok," Sid said then they both stood up & went to the locker room."
They skated for three hours then went to get something to eat at Eat `n Park. The next day Sid went over to Kay`s & they were playing videogames. "Do u think we should ask your mom about this summer?" Sid asked.
"Let`s wait til my dad gets home."
At about five Kay`s got home & Sid & Kay went upstairs. "Mom, dad, can Sid & I talk to you?"
"Sure what about?" Kay`s dad asked.
"Well I was wondering if over the summer Sid could come to Scotland, & if I could go to Canada for like a week & meet Sid`s parents?"
"Well I see no problem with it, as long as you two sleep in different rooms."
"Thank you daddy." Kay said jumping up & down.
In June, on the 18th Sid picked Kay up & took her out to dinner at Red River BBQ, they both had Ribs. They went & saw a movie, & then this was time for him to give her the present.
"I hope you like it," he said handing it to her.
"I`m sure I will," she said ripping the wrapping paper off. She opened the box. & inside was a silver locket that had (Sid & Kay 4ever) written on it & inside was a picture of the two of them from after the pens won a game. "Baby, I love it, thank you."
Sid drove her home then walked her to the door. "Happy birthday baby, I love you."
"I love you too," she said then kissed him
The next day Kay`s phone rang. "Hello?"
"Hey I just got off the phone with my mom & we`re going to go tomorrow."
"Ok, so I`ll pack right now, how are we getting to Canada?"
"We`re gonna fly, our flight is at eight am, so we need to be at the airport at six. So we need to leave at five. So do you wanna pack, then come over & sleep on the couch over here so I don`t have to come & get you?"
"Sure, so come get me in about an hour," she said then hung up.
She packed, Sid picked her up & they were off to Lemieux`s house.
The next day they got to the airport in Canada at about 12pm. They got our bags & went to go look for Sid`s mom. They found her after about 20 minutes "Sid," a little girl said & ran up to him.
"Tay," he said giving her a hug. "Hi mom."
"Hello Sidney."
"Mom, Tay, this is my girlfriend Kay." he said with a smile. "Kay this is my sister Taylor & my mom Trina."
"I`m glad to finally meet you."
"Nice to meet you." Kay said shaking Mrs. Crosby`s hand.
"So where`s dad?" Sid asked.
"He`s at home," She said just before they went out to the car. They got to the house it was really nice. "Sid, show Kay where she`ll be sleeping."
"Ok," Sid said then picked up her suitcase & bag & led her down a long hall. At the end of the hall there were two rooms across from each other. Sid opened the door on the right. "Here ya go, the bed & there`s a closet, it`s not much but you`re not going to be spending much time in here."
"Where`s your room?"
"Right across from you, you wanna see it?"
She nodded & they walked across to the other room. There were hockey jerseys, pictures, medals, & posters all over the walls. "So what do you wanna do?"
She shrugged her shoulders.
"Well we could go swimming," he said with a smile.
"Ok."
"Alright, well let`s get unpacked then we can go swimming."
Kay went to my room & unpacked. After unpacking she changed into her light blue bikini, got a towel & went outside. The backyard was awesome, a stone patio & a huge pool that went up to 10 ft. About a minute later Sid came out, he was wearing penguins swim trunks.
"You look nice," he said.
"Thanks so do you," she said with a smile.
"You ready to swim?"
"Yeah."
"Do you wanna jump into the deep end with me?"
"Ok," she said as Sid grabbed her hand & they walked to the edge of the pool. They backed up, ran & Kay let go & Sid went into the pool alone.
"Hey," he said when he came up from under water.
"Sorry."
"Get in here," he said splashing her.
"Fine," she said then ran up & did a cannonball.
They spent about an hour in the pool then went to the hot tub. After about five minutes they started to kiss, after 25 minutes after that they got out & went inside.
"Dad, this is my girlfriend Kay, Kay this is my dad Troy." Sid said at dinner that night.
They had fun the whole week we were there.
Later in the summer they went to Scotland & had fun. Chuck`s band place twelfth over all in the competition.
"This is Kailey, my girlfriend."
"Hi Kailey, come in guys. When did you two meet?"
"Um about three weeks ago, outside the arena."
"Well why don`t you two go into the living room & I`ll go finish making dinner."
"What are we having?" Sid asked once they walked into the living room.
"Your favorite, spaghetti."
About five minutes later Mario came down. "Nathalie, how much time til dinner?"

They skated for three hours then went to get something to eat at Eat `n Park. The next day Sid went over to Kay`s & they were playing videogames. "Do u think we should ask your mom about this summer?" Sid asked.
"Let`s wait til my dad gets home."
At about five Kay`s got home & Sid & Kay went upstairs. "Mom, dad, can Sid & I talk to you?"
"Sure what about?" Kay`s dad asked.
"Well I was wondering if over the summer Sid could come to Scotland, & if I could go to Canada for like a week & meet Sid`s parents?"
"Well I see no problem with it, as long as you two sleep in different rooms."
"Thank you daddy." Kay said jumping up & down.
In June, on the 18th Sid picked Kay up & took her out to dinner at Red River BBQ, they both had Ribs. They went & saw a movie, & then this was time for him to give her the present.
"I hope you like it," he said handing it to her.
"I`m sure I will," she said ripping the wrapping paper off. She opened the box. & inside was a silver locket that had (Sid & Kay 4ever) written on it & inside was a picture of the two of them from after the pens won a game. "Baby, I love it, thank you."
Sid drove her home then walked her to the door. "Happy birthday baby, I love you."
"I love you too," she said then kissed him
The next day Kay`s phone rang. "Hello?"
"Hey I just got off the phone with my mom & we`re going to go tomorrow."
"Ok, so I`ll pack right now, how are we getting to Canada?"
"We`re gonna fly, our flight is at eight am, so we need to be at the airport at six. So we need to leave at five. So do you wanna pack, then come over & sleep on the couch over here so I don`t have to come & get you?"
"Sure, so come get me in about an hour," she said then hung up.
She packed, Sid picked her up & they were off to Lemieux`s house.
The next day they got to the airport in Canada at about 12pm. They got our bags & went to go look for Sid`s mom. They found her after about 20 minutes "Sid," a little girl said & ran up to him.
"Tay," he said giving her a hug. "Hi mom."
"Hello Sidney."
"Mom, Tay, this is my girlfriend Kay." he said with a smile. "Kay this is my sister Taylor & my mom Trina."
"I`m glad to finally meet you."
"Nice to meet you." Kay said shaking Mrs. Crosby`s hand.
"So where`s dad?" Sid asked.
"He`s at home," She said just before they went out to the car. They got to the house it was really nice. "Sid, show Kay where she`ll be sleeping."
"Ok," Sid said then picked up her suitcase & bag & led her down a long hall. At the end of the hall there were two rooms across from each other. Sid opened the door on the right. "Here ya go, the bed & there`s a closet, it`s not much but you`re not going to be spending much time in here."
"Where`s your room?"
"Right across from you, you wanna see it?"
She nodded & they walked across to the other room. There were hockey jerseys, pictures, medals, & posters all over the walls. "So what do you wanna do?"
She shrugged her shoulders.
"Well we could go swimming," he said with a smile.
"Ok."
"Alright, well let`s get unpacked then we can go swimming."
Kay went to my room & unpacked. After unpacking she changed into her light blue bikini, got a towel & went outside. The backyard was awesome, a stone patio & a huge pool that went up to 10 ft. About a minute later Sid came out, he was wearing penguins swim trunks.
"You look nice," he said.
"Thanks so do you," she said with a smile.
"You ready to swim?"
"Yeah."
"Do you wanna jump into the deep end with me?"
"Ok," she said as Sid grabbed her hand & they walked to the edge of the pool. They backed up, ran & Kay let go & Sid went into the pool alone.
"Hey," he said when he came up from under water.
"Sorry."
"Get in here," he said splashing her.
"Fine," she said then ran up & did a cannonball.
They spent about an hour in the pool then went to the hot tub. After about five minutes they started to kiss, after 25 minutes after that they got out & went inside.
"Dad, this is my girlfriend Kay, Kay this is my dad Troy." Sid said at dinner that night.
They had fun the whole week we were there.
Later in the summer they went to Scotland & had fun. Chuck`s band place twelfth over all in the competition.
SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] Eight; The Phone
The next weekend Sid was over & they were hanging out in Kay's room, listening to music. She showed him my hockey stuff.& basically they just hung out all day looking at random Penguins stuff that Kay had collected over the years. At about seven-thirty Sid gave her a kiss good-bye then left.
The next day, somewhere around two o'clock a 'RING, RING.' was heard in Kay`s room. There was a cell phone, but if definitely wasn`t Kay`s & she recognized the ring tone, it was Sid's.
"Hello?"
"Hi who`s this?"
"This is Kailey, who`s this?"
"This is Mrs. Crosby, Sidney's mom, why do you have his phone?"
"Because he`s my boyfriend & I guess he left it here yesterday."
"Ok, when you see him next could you tell him to call me?"
"Sure."
"Ok, so how long have you two been going out?"
"Um...about three weeks."
"Oh, well I`ll let you go."
"Bye."
"Bye," Mrs. Crosby said then Kay closed her phone with a confused look on her face.
At about five-thirty 'RING, RING.' "Hello?"
"Hey."
"What`s up?"
"I kinda left my phone in your room."
"Yeah, I know your mom called."
"Oh, what did she want?"
"She just wants you to call her."
"Ok, um can I come & get my phone?"
"Sure."
"Did you eat dinner yet?"
"No," She said with a smile.
"Ok, do you wanna go out & get something then maybe hang out?"
"Sure, but I have to be back by nine cause I`ve got school tomorrow."
"Ok, I`ll be there in about five minutes."
"Ok," She said hanging up. In those five minutes she changed into an outfit that was a little nicer & fixed her hair. She went down to the drive-way just as Sid was pulling onto street. "Hi baby, here’s your phone."
"Thanks" he said then kissed her cheek.
"Did you call your mom yet?"
"No, I was gonna do that now, hope you don`t mind."
"No, that`s fine. So where are we gonna go to eat?"
"I`m going to take you to where I staying & we`ll eat there."
"Ok."
"Hello?" Sidney's mom said on the other end of the phone call.
"Hi mom you called?"
"Yeah, I talked to your girlfriend Kailey."
"Kay."
"What?"
"Her name is Kay."
"Oh," she said then paused.
"So what did you want?"
"Well you know your old friend Anne?"
"Yeah, what about her?"
"Well she`s in town & wants to see you."
"Well that`s going to be kinda hard since I`m in Pittsburgh right now."
"Why?"
"Because I have a game tomorrow & I have a girlfriend."
"What does having a girlfriend have to do with it?"
"What doesn`t having a girlfriend have to do with it?"
"Sidney what do you mean, I don`t understand."
"Well mother, all that Anne is going to want to do is get back together, which can`t happen. Oh my God, why don`t parents understand?!"
"Why can`t you two get back together?"
"How about because I`m with Kay."
"Can`t you breakup with her?"
"No mother I can`t just breakup with her," he said starting to get frustrated.
"Why not?" asked sounding just as frustrated.
"Because mom, I love Kay & she loves me, but see I was & never will be in love with Anne. I never liked her as more than a friend," as he said this he looked at Kay & smiled.
"Why do you say that you never will be in love with her?"
"Will you just leave that matter alone?"
"Excuse me Sidney Patrick, but no I will not!"
"Mother just listen to me I`m with Kay & you will not do anything to separate us."
Mrs. Crosby didn`t have the chance to say anything else before Sid closed his phone & throw it to the backseat of the car.
"What was that about?"
"Oh nothing, she wants me to breakup with you?" he said calmly.
"What?!" Miriya asked now very shocked. "How can you be so calm about that?"
"Baby you know I would never do that, you know that I love you."
"Why does she want you to breakup with me?"
"She wants me to go out with one of my old friends. We used to go out, but I never liked her that much."
"Would you ever want to go out with her again?" Kay asked now sounding scared.
"No because I want to be with you until the day I die."
"Does that mean?" she asked now sounding excited.
"Does it mean what?"
"Does that mean you want us to get married someday?"
"Well," he paused. "Just remember I never said that, you did."
"What`s that supposed to mean?"
"Oh nothing."
The next day, somewhere around two o'clock a 'RING, RING.' was heard in Kay`s room. There was a cell phone, but if definitely wasn`t Kay`s & she recognized the ring tone, it was Sid's.
"Hello?"
"Hi who`s this?"
"This is Kailey, who`s this?"
"This is Mrs. Crosby, Sidney's mom, why do you have his phone?"

SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] Seven; A Speech, A Breakup & Food.
At the first intermission they were losing 2-1. And once they got to the locker room Edzo said, “Ok, boys we`re doing alright, but we need to do better. Does anybody have anything else to say?”
Kay stood up & went to the middle of the locker room. “Alright boys, I know that you can do better, I`ve seen you do better. Caron, your doing good, just keep making them saves. Defense step it up, get back to our zone faster. Gonch, stop taking so many penalties, actually do what you`re getting paid for. Brooksy, keep up the good checks. Offense, Bugsy I know you’ve got some personal problems you’ve gotta deal with after the game, but leave it out of the game. Block it out of your mind until you need to deal with it. Johnny come on you’re getting paid to score goals & you haven’t scored one in three weeks, I`m seeing a problem here. Sid, Ziggy, & Recchi your line needs to keep up the good work, you`re the best out there tonight. Sid if you`re gonna keep your streak ya need to get a point tonight. Lemieux, just `cause one of your line mates was falling apart out there doesn`t mean that you couldn`t & still don`t need to step it up. Skate harder actually take some shots, come on. Murls, Rico, & Koltsy, your lines doing good, but I know you guys can play better. All three of you have great slap shots, so use them. You all need to stay out of the penalty box. But when we do have a penalty, don`t go so deep, get back quicker. When we`re on the power play take some shots, you guys are being too fancy. You`re stick handling way too much, pass the puck & shoot, your goal doesn`t have to be fancy, just all long as it goes in. Roy, stop messing around so much, if you wanna fight, then fight, just not in the first, & have a good reason, I don`t want to see you drop the gloves for nothin. Mario I know you`re trying to be pretty, but it`s so old, just shoot the damn puck & hope it goes in the damn net. Defense, some of you are being too fancy, your job is simple, I know I played it for four & half years. All you need to do is get the damn puck out of our zone & try to keep it in the other teams. Offense just get the puck to the net & try to make it go in. Now guys you know I`m not a mean person, I`m just trying to get your asses back in gear. Do you guys want it to go back to the way it was at the beginning of the year? So just play well & I won`t yell at you anymore. Alright boys let`s get back out there & win this thing.”
Everyone went back out & Kay`s speech worked, `cause they won the game 6-2. After the game Brooksy went outside & waited for Bri then they came into the locker room.
“Ryan you wanted to talk to me?”
“Yeah, um about the wedding.”
“What about it?”
“There`s not gonna be one.”
“But why?”
“Cause I know that you don`t love me & I found out from my cousin, but I didn`t believe her. But now I do because my friend Kay talked to me today.”
“What did they tell you?” She asked with a nervous look.
“That you`re cheating on me.”
“What? Why would I cheat on you?”
“`Cause you don`t love me, you just want my money & sex. Finding out that my cousin was telling the truth the whole time, just tears me up. I loved you, but you don`t love me, so we`re over & the wedding’s off.”
Bri left the locker room with out saying a word.
“Kay again thank you so much for helping Maura convince me about Bri.”
“You`re welcome, I`m just really sorry that it was true.”
“Yeah me too.”
“I`m sorry I yelled at you during the game.”
“It`s ok, you had to say something, I was slaking so….”
“Kay are you ready to go?” Sid asked.
“Yeah one sec, bye boys.”
“Bye.”
Kay walked over to Sid. “Ok, I`m ready.”
“Do you want to go home or go get something to eat?”
“Well I`m kinda hungry.”
“Ok, where do you wanna go?”
“I don`t know?”
“Does Eat n` Park sound good?”
“Yeah that`s fine.”
They went out to Sid`s car & to Eat n` Park. Once they got there Kay had an iced vanilla latte & an Oreo sundae. Sid got a vanilla milkshake, a burger & fries.
After they had finished eating Sid took her home. “Bye baby thanks for the food,” She said.
“You`re welcome bye,” He said then kissed her. After about five minutes Sid leaned against the wall & they pulled away after awhile. When they did Sid went down to his car & Kay went inside.
Kay stood up & went to the middle of the locker room. “Alright boys, I know that you can do better, I`ve seen you do better. Caron, your doing good, just keep making them saves.

SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] Six; The Surprise
She went into her room & there sitting on the bed was Sid. She hung up the phone, ran over, & gave Sid a huge hug & a kiss on the cheek.
“What are you doing here; you said you were in Florida.”
“It was all part of the surprise”
“I missed you so much.”
“I missed you too.”
“I listened to all of the games.”
“Good.”
“I have something to tell you.” They both said at the same time.
“You go first,” Kay said.
“No you go.”
“Ok, I know this might seem like it`s a little early in our relationship to be saying this but, Sid, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
They sat down on her bed & Sid leaned in to kiss her. They made-out for about half an hour until Kay`s little sister Sharon came into the room.
“Kay, stop kissing it`s time for dinner.”
“Ok, Sharon can Sid stay for dinner?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“I don`t know.”
Then Sid & Kay went up stairs to eat dinner. When they were done eating they went back down to Kay`s room to talk.
“So are you singing at the game tomorrow?”
“I don`t know.”
“Well Edzo said that the people want you to sing at all the home games.”
“Ok, then I guess I`m singing.”
“So I`ll pick you up after school tomorrow.”
“Yea.”
“Ok, I`m gonna go.”
“Ok, see you tomorrow.”
“I love you,” Sid said.
. “Love you too, bye.”
“Bye,” Sid said then kissed her.
The next day Sid picked Kay up from school & took her home so she could get ready for the game, and then they went down to the Mellon. “Hey Edzo is Bugsy here yet?” Kay asked when they got into the locker room.
“No why?”
“I need to talk to him,” She said just as he was walking in the door.
“Who do you need to talk to?” Bugsy asked.
“You, can you come here?”
She walked over to Ryan`s stall. “Everyone team meeting,” Edzo said from the center of the room.
Everyone went over to where Edzo was standing. “Ok everyone we did great on the road trip, but we still need to step it up. Even though we won every game during the road trip, some of the teams we didn`t beat by much. Our forwards need to skate harder, make crisper passes. Our defense needs to get back quicker, on the penalty kill don`t go so deep in the other teams zone. Ok tonight Caron, you`re in goal & Fleury you`re backup. Ok everyone the game starts in an hour & half so get suited up.”
Everyone went to their stalls to get ready. Kay went over to Ryan`s stall to talk to him. “Hey Ryan.”
“Yeah?”
“Have you talked to your cousin lately?”
“Which one?”
“Maura.”
“Yeah I talked to her this morning.”
“Ok, do you believe her about Bri?”
“Do I believe what about Bri?”
“That`s she`s cheating on you.”
“Why would she cheat on me?”
“Because she doesn`t love you, she just in the relationship for money & sex, & once she gets that she`s just gonna leave you heartbroken.”
“But I don`t want to believe it.”
“Well the truth hurts & if you don`t want to end up heartbroken, then you have to confront her & cancel the wedding, otherwise it`s going to be a disaster.”
“Ok, she`s coming to the game tonight, I`ll talk to her after.”
“Good I just didn`t want to see you end up crushed, `cause then that would destroy your game & Edzo might trade you or something & you certainly don`t want that.”
“This is going to really hard `cause I really did love her.”
“Well life doesn`t always go the way you want it to.”
“Yea.”
“Just don`t let it effect your game.”
“I won`t thanks for talking to me about it.”
“You`re welcome.”
Kay walked back over to Sid`s stall. “Hey what were you talkin to Ryan about?”
“Nothing you should worry about. His girlfriend was cheating on him & he didn`t believe me or his cousin, so I was talking to him about it & trying to make him believe it.”
“Oh, I just want you to know that I would never cheat on you.”
“Same with me.” Kay said then kissed him.
People started to get there for the game. At seven thirty-five Kay went out, sang, & went to her seat.
“What are you doing here; you said you were in Florida.”
“It was all part of the surprise”
“I missed you so much.”
“I missed you too.”
“I listened to all of the games.”
“Good.”
“I have something to tell you.” They both said at the same time.
“You go first,” Kay said.
“No you go.”
“Ok, I know this might seem like it`s a little early in our relationship to be saying this but, Sid, I love you.”

“Ok, Sharon can Sid stay for dinner?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“I don`t know.”
Then Sid & Kay went up stairs to eat dinner. When they were done eating they went back down to Kay`s room to talk.
“So are you singing at the game tomorrow?”

Kay walked back over to Sid`s stall. “Hey what were you talkin to Ryan about?”
“Nothing you should worry about. His girlfriend was cheating on him & he didn`t believe me or his cousin, so I was talking to him about it & trying to make him believe it.”
“Oh, I just want you to know that I would never cheat on you.”
“Same with me.” Kay said then kissed him.
People started to get there for the game. At seven thirty-five Kay went out, sang, & went to her seat.
SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] Five; Time without the One you Love
The next day was Monday & Kay had to go to school. As soon as she got to the bus stop, while walking to wait for Nikki her phone rang. “Hello?”
“Hey how are you?”
“I’m ok, I miss you,” Kay said after hearing Sid’s on the other end.
“I miss you too.”
“So where are you right now?”
“We’re in Boston, where are you?”
“I’m down by City High, waiting for my friend Nikki.”
“Ok.”
“Yo Sid, let’s go,” Colby said in the background.
“Who was that?”
“That was Army, well I gotta go, we’ve got practice.”
“Ok, bye.”
“Bye.”
A few minutes later Nikki came out of school & they went to the bus stop. Ten days past, it was a Thursday & the day Sid was supposed to be coming home. He didn’t call Kay after school like he normally did, so she went home on the bus & her mom picked me up from Nikki`s house `cause she had to baby-sit.
When she got home there was a note on my door. Right after you read this you will get a phone call
‘RING, RING.’ “Hello?”
“Hi.”
“Hey baby where are you?”
“Sorry our plane got delayed so we`re still in Florida. I won’t be able to see you until tomorrow `cause we won’t be getting to Pittsburgh until late tonight.”
“Oh, that sucks.”
“Where in your house are you?”
“In the family room.”
“Why don’t you go into your room so we can have more private conversation?”
“Ok.”
“Hey how are you?”
“I’m ok, I miss you,” Kay said after hearing Sid’s on the other end.
“I miss you too.”
“So where are you right now?”
“We’re in Boston, where are you?”
“I’m down by City High, waiting for my friend Nikki.”
“Ok.”
“Yo Sid, let’s go,” Colby said in the background.
“Who was that?”
“That was Army, well I gotta go, we’ve got practice.”
“Ok, bye.”
“Bye.”

SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] Four; Showing off my Skills
The next day, Kay`s phone rang, "Hello?" she asked.
"Hey it`s me," Sid said.
"What`s up?"
"Are you busy today?"
"No why?"
"Do you want to hang out?"
"Sure, what do you wanna do?"
"I was thinking we could go down to the arena & you could show me how good of a hockey player you are."
"Sure, is there some special reason for this?"
"Well we`re not gonna be able to hangout for a while `cause we got a long road trip starting tomorrow."
"Oh, so you gonna pick me up?"
"Yep."
"When ya gonna get here?"
"I`m kind of already in your driveway," He said with a laugh.
"Ok, do I need to bring anything?”
"Nope everything you`ll need is down at the arena."
Kay went down to Sid`s car & got in, "Hi baby."
"Hey," He said then kissed her.
They drove down to the Mellon & went into the locker room. Kay put on all my gear, (chest protector, shin pads, elbow pads, hockey pants, leg covers, skates, helmet & gloves) then put on a warm up jersey.
They Sid & I went out to the ice & to get warmed up they skated around for a while.
"Ok, to see how good you are we`re gonna scrimmage," Sid said after they both stopped at center ice.
"How there`s no goalies?"
"Oh really, come on out guys." Marc-André & Sebastien came out of the visitor’s locker room. "Ok now there`s goalies, which one do you want?"
"I don`t know I like them both I don`t want to be mean."
"Ok, Marc-André you`re with Kay, Sebastien you`re with me."
Marc-André & Sebastien skated to their nets, stretched a little, & scraped up their creases.
"Ok, before we start we`re gonna need some refs."
"Oh no I hate refs." Kay said.
"Well these guys aren`t really refs they`re guys who actually know what they`re talking about."
"Ok, who are they?"
"Alright guys."
“Ok, now we can start.”
Well she beat Sid 3-1 & after the scrimmage they went over & sat on the bench.
“You played good,” Sid said with a smile.
“Good?” She asked.
“Ok, you did really good.”
“Thank you, you were good too.” She leaned in & kissed him. After about 15 minutes, then Edzo came out onto the ice. “Sid, plans have changed we`re leaving in two hours, so go home, pack, & be at the airport in an hour & a half.”
. “Ok.” Sid & Kay went out to his car & he drove her home. “Sorry I had to bring you home so early.”
“It`s ok.”
“Ok, I`ll call you tomorrow.”
“Ok, bye.”
“Bye.” He kissed her then left.
She went into the house & looked at her Pens schedule; Sid was going to be gone for ten days. Ten days that she could only talk & not see.
"Hey it`s me," Sid said.
"What`s up?"
"Are you busy today?"
"No why?"
"Do you want to hang out?"
"Sure, what do you wanna do?"

SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] Three; A New Life
The next day at four she finished getting ready. She was wearing her Fata jersey, chain, & Crosby hat. At four-thirty 'BEEP, BEEP'. She grabbed her purse & ran down to Sid`s car.
"Hey Kay how are you?"
"Just to let you know I have a huge crush on you," Kay said on the way to the arena.
"Well you might be surprised to hear this & I know that I only met you two days ago, but I like you too."
"Really?"
"Yea."
"So I guess then I`m your girlfriend?"
"I guess I`m your boyfriend."
"Yeah, I never though that I would even meet you but now I`m your girlfriend."
"Well I never thought that I would get a girlfriend that`s the biggest Penguins fan in the country."
When they got to the arena Kay got an ice time & went to the locker room.
"Everyone this is Kay, the biggest Penguins fan in the country," Sid said with a smile.
"Hi, it`s nice to meet you all.
"And she`s my new girlfriend."
She got everyone's autograph and before the game she called Amy.
"Hello."
"Hey are you gonna watch the game?"
"Yeah, are you?"
"Well sorta."

"Hey Sid, my friend Amy wants to ask you a question."
"Ok, hello."
"Hi, is this Sid?"
"Yes it is, you have a question?"
"Well Kay said that you`re her boyfriend, is that true?"
"Yes it is."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye." Sid handed the phone back to Kay. "Hey Kay, do you think she would want to some to the game & maybe meet me?"
"Yea, I think she would."
"Ok tell her to meet you outside of gate Two.
"Ok. Hey Amy do you want to come to the game tonight?"
"Yea."
"Ok, hurry up & get here & come to gate Two I`ll be waiting for you, then you can come to the locker room & you can meet Sid & sit behind the bench during the game."
"Ok, see you in about half an hour."
"Ok, bye."
Half an hour later Amy got there & they went into the locker room.
"Hey Sid, come here."
"Amy this is Sid, Sid this is my friend Amy."
"Hi."
"Hi, can I have your autograph?" Amy asked.
"Sure."
Amy got out a sharpie and Sid autographed the Pens shirt that she was wearing.
"Ladies & gentlemen please rise & face the flags above the scoreboard & welcome to sing for her first time, Kailey Schwartz." John Barbarow said at seven-thirty and everyone clapped & cheered.
Once she was done everyone cheered for the start of the game. She walked through the visitor's locker room & to her seat behind the bench. The game was awesome they won 4-1. After the game Amy & Kay went back to the locker room.
"Amy it was nice to meet you." Sid said.
"Nice to meet you too."
"Kay a bunch of the guys & I are going down to Permantis to get something to eat you wanna come?"
"Um, sure Amy you wanna come?"
"Nah, my dad said I have to be home right after the game so he`s gonna pick me up."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye.
Sid & Kay went out to his car & went down to Permantis to get a samich en at. They met up with Rico (Fata), Ryan (Malone), Matt Murley, Sebastien (Caron), Marc-André (Fleury), Brooks (Orpik), Recchi, & Ziggy (Plaffy) there. They were down there for about two hours talking, laughing, & eating.
Sid took Kay home. Once they got to Kay`s house, she got out of the car & Sid walked her up to the door.
"I had fun tonight."
"Me too, thanks for asking whoever you asked for me."
"You`re welcome, I`ll call you tomorrow.”
"Bye."
"Bye," He said then leaned in & kissed her. Kay kissed back. The kiss ended after what felt like forever but was really one about 30 seconds.
Sid walked back down to his car & Kay went inside & into her room.
"Hey Kay how are you?"
"Just to let you know I have a huge crush on you," Kay said on the way to the arena.
"Well you might be surprised to hear this & I know that I only met you two days ago, but I like you too."

SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] Two; The Call
The next day right when Kay walked out of school she turned her phone on. When she was waiting with Nikki & Andrea at the bus stop her phone rang.
"Hello."
"Hi is this Kailey Schwartz?"
"Yes it is, may I ask who`s calling?"
"This is Sidney Crosby, I`m calling on behalf of your tryout yesterday." There was a pause. "I`m pleased to say that the staff thought you were great & would like you to sing at some up coming games."
"Ok thanks," She said in a sad tone.
"I`ll call you later."
"Good-bye."
"That didn`t sound good, what`s up?" Nikki asked.
She started out seriously, "I, they like my singing & I can sing at some games."
"That`s great," Andrea said.
"I know& that wasn`t some ordinary person from the arena calling to tell me, it was Sid & he`s going to call me back later."
"Cool, so did he say when they want you to sing?" Nikki asked.
"No, I think someone else will do that."
Since it was a Friday Kay was at Nikki`s house watching TV at about eight-thirty her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kay it`s Sid, I was wondering if you were doing anything tomorrow?"
"Not that I know of, other than watching the game."
"Ok, well would you like to go to the game instead of watching it on TV?"
"Well I would love to, but I don`t have a ticket or any money to buy one."
"You don`t need to, see I talked to some people & I convinced them that you would be ready by then."
"Ready for what exactly?"
"Ready to sing."
"Whoa, wait me sing tomorrow? But I only tried out yesterday."
"Yes, but you`re good & we always have the same people sing, so we could use a new face."
"Ok, what time should I get there?"
"I`ll pick you up at about four-thirty ok?"
"Ok, where am I gonna sit?"
"Does right behind the bench sound ok?"
"That sounds great."
"I`ll see you tomorrow."
"Bye."
"Who was that?" Nikki asked.
"Oh, that was Sid."
"What did he say?" Andrea asked.
"That I`m gonna sing at the game tomorrow & get to sit behind the bench."
"Are you serious?" Nikki asked.
"Yeah."
"That`s awesome, but Go Canada," Andrea said with a smile.
"Hello."
"Hi is this Kailey Schwartz?"
"Yes it is, may I ask who`s calling?"
"This is Sidney Crosby, I`m calling on behalf of your tryout yesterday." There was a pause. "I`m pleased to say that the staff thought you were great & would like you to sing at some up coming games."

SiDi [A Sidney Crosby Story] One; A Day to Remember
It was a sunny day in early November, the day that Kay was going to the Mellon Arena to tryout to sing the National Anthem at some Penguins games. After school she didn`t get the bus, but instead walked up to the Mellon. The e-mail she that she had gotten said to go in gate to & go to the locker room. She went in, sang for the people, & started on her way back towards City High to get the bus. She walked out of the Mellon not paying attention to where she was going & ran into someone.
"Oh, I`m sorry," She said not looking at the person.
"No I`m sorry."
She recognized the voice instantly, "Oh my God, you`re Sidney Crosby."
"Yes & you are?"
"I`m Kailey, Kailey Schwartz. I`m a huge Penguins` fan."
"Oh you are?"
"Yeah, & I`m a huge fan of your`s too.
"Oh really? Well if you think you`re that big of a fan, then let`s see, I`ll ask you some questions.
"Ok," She said with a smile.
"When is my birthday?"
"August seventh & you were born in 1987."
"Ok, why is my jersey number 87?"
"Because you were born in August, which is the eighth month, on the seventh, in 87."
"Ok, where am I from?"
"Cole Harbour Nova Scotia."
"What is my sister's name?"
"Taylor."
"What state did I go to school in for two years?"
"Minnesota."
"Wow, you do know a lot about me. Why are you here, there`s no game or anything tonight."
"Oh, I was trying out to sing the National Anthem."
"Oh so you sing?"
"Yeah sing & used to play hockey."
"Why don`t you play anymore?"
"My mom doesn`t like hockey & didn`t want to take me to games & practices."
"Oh that sucks."
"Tell me about it."
"Where do you go to school?"
"CAPA," She said with a cough.
"Isn't that a performing arts school?"
"Yea."
"So you must be really good."
"Well I don`t know."
"Let me her you sing & I`ll tell you how good you are."
"Ok, what do you want me to sing?"
"I don`t know, anything you want."
"Ok, um," She paused then started singing. "I can see the two of us together, I know I`m gonna be with you forever. Love couldn't be any better. Oh when you kiss me, I know you miss me. And when you`re with me, the world just goes away. The way you hold me, the way you show me that you adore me. Oh when you kiss me."
"That was beyond awesome," He said with a smile.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, so how are you getting home?"
"I have to walk back down to City High & wait for my bus."
"Oh, why don`t I take you home?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yea."
They went to Sid’s car.
"There`s another thing that I know about you." She said once they got to the Range Rover.
"What`s that?"
"That you like to be called Sid."
"Yeah that`s right, but most people didn`t listen to that comment. They all just call me Sidney, including Mario."
Kay flinched when he said that name.
"Are you ok?" Sid asked.
"Yeah hearing Mario's name still reminds me of Craig. I don`t have a problem with Mario anymore, but Craig I will always have a problem with."
"Why's that?"
"He made some horrible trades."
"Oh, like who?"
"You want the whole list?"
"Sure."
"Ian Moran, Alexei Kovalev, Andy Ference, Johan Hedberg, Shawn Heins, Marty Straka, Brian Holzinger, Matt Bradley, Tom Kostopoulos, Eric Meloche, J.S. Aubin, there`s others but I don`t want to bore you."
"Wow you seem to really like hockey."
"Yea, but I ramble too much, so I`ll shut up now."
"No it`s fine, when was the first time you watched a game?"
"When I was three months old."
"Really?"
"Yea the city was more into hockey that year; it was when the Pens won the cup."
"So you were born in 91?"
"Yep, we`re four years apart."
"Cool."
"So when do you think they'll call about singing?"
"Well what I heard was if they though that you were good & want you to sing some time, then they'll call you tomorrow. But if they don`t want you to sing then they won`t call you at all."
"Oh, so let`s hope that they call tomorrow then."
"Yeah, so where exactly do you live."
"Um, off McKnight Rd."
"Ok, so you said your name’s Kailey?"
"Yeah, but you can just call me Kay."
"Ok, so are you going to any games this year?"
"Well other than the ones I might get to sing at, I can only go to two games this year cause of the change in the ticket price."
"That sucks."
At this time they were just getting to the exit to get to Kay's house.
"Turn here," Kay said pointing to the exit.
They pulled into the driveway & Sid stopped the car.
"Thanks for driving me home."
"You`re welcome, I had a good time talking to you."
"Me too."
She got my book bag out of the back seat & ran up into the house. When she got to her room she picked up the phone & called Amy.
"Hello," Amy said into the receiver.
"You`ll never guess who gave me a ride home."
"Who?"
"Sid." Kay said with a smile.
"You mean Sid as in Sidney Crosby?"
"Yep."
"How?"
"Well you know how I had the tryout today?"
"Yea."
"Well I was walking out from that & I ran into him, we started talking & he brought me home."
"That`s awesome, so how do you think you did at the tryout?"
"I don`t know, but Sid asked me to sing for him & his exact words were 'You are beyond awesome'."
"Really?"
"Yea."
"Well I`ll let you go."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye."
"Oh, I`m sorry," She said not looking at the person.
"No I`m sorry."
She recognized the voice instantly, "Oh my God, you`re Sidney Crosby."
"Yes & you are?"
"I`m Kailey, Kailey Schwartz. I`m a huge Penguins` fan."
"Oh you are?"
"Yeah, & I`m a huge fan of your`s too.
"Oh really? Well if you think you`re that big of a fan, then let`s see, I`ll ask you some questions.
"Ok," She said with a smile.
"When is my birthday?"
"August seventh & you were born in 1987."
"Ok, why is my jersey number 87?"
"Because you were born in August, which is the eighth month, on the seventh, in 87."
"Ok, where am I from?"

"Well I don`t know."
"Let me her you sing & I`ll tell you how good you are."
"Ok, what do you want me to sing?"
"I don`t know, anything you want."
"Ok, um," She paused then started singing. "I can see the two of us together, I know I`m gonna be with you forever. Love couldn't be any better. Oh when you kiss me, I know you miss me. And when you`re with me, the world just goes away. The way you hold me, the way you show me that you adore me. Oh when you kiss me."
"That was beyond awesome," He said with a smile.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, so how are you getting home?"
"I have to walk back down to City High & wait for my bus."
"Oh, why don`t I take you home?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yea."
They went to Sid’s car.
"There`s another thing that I know about you." She said once they got to the Range Rover.

Kay flinched when he said that name.
"Are you ok?" Sid asked.
"Yeah hearing Mario's name still reminds me of Craig. I don`t have a problem with Mario anymore, but Craig I will always have a problem with."
"Why's that?"
"He made some horrible trades."
"Oh, like who?"
"You want the whole list?"
"Sure."
"Ian Moran, Alexei Kovalev, Andy Ference, Johan Hedberg, Shawn Heins, Marty Straka, Brian Holzinger, Matt Bradley, Tom Kostopoulos, Eric Meloche, J.S. Aubin, there`s others but I don`t want to bore you."
"Wow you seem to really like hockey."
"Yea, but I ramble too much, so I`ll shut up now."
"No it`s fine, when was the first time you watched a game?"
"When I was three months old."
"Really?"
"Yea the city was more into hockey that year; it was when the Pens won the cup."
"So you were born in 91?"
"Yep, we`re four years apart."
"Cool."
"So when do you think they'll call about singing?"
"Well what I heard was if they though that you were good & want you to sing some time, then they'll call you tomorrow. But if they don`t want you to sing then they won`t call you at all."
"Oh, so let`s hope that they call tomorrow then."
"Yeah, so where exactly do you live."
"Um, off McKnight Rd."
"Ok, so you said your name’s Kailey?"
"Yeah, but you can just call me Kay."
"Ok, so are you going to any games this year?"
"Well other than the ones I might get to sing at, I can only go to two games this year cause of the change in the ticket price."
"That sucks."
At this time they were just getting to the exit to get to Kay's house.
"Turn here," Kay said pointing to the exit.
They pulled into the driveway & Sid stopped the car.
"Thanks for driving me home."
"You`re welcome, I had a good time talking to you."
"Me too."
She got my book bag out of the back seat & ran up into the house. When she got to her room she picked up the phone & called Amy.
"Hello," Amy said into the receiver.
"You`ll never guess who gave me a ride home."
"Who?"
"Sid." Kay said with a smile.
"You mean Sid as in Sidney Crosby?"
"Yep."
"How?"
"Well you know how I had the tryout today?"
"Yea."
"Well I was walking out from that & I ran into him, we started talking & he brought me home."
"That`s awesome, so how do you think you did at the tryout?"
"I don`t know, but Sid asked me to sing for him & his exact words were 'You are beyond awesome'."
"Really?"
"Yea."
"Well I`ll let you go."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye."
