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.”

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?"
"I was thinking we could go down to the arena & you could show me how good of a hockey player you are."

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."
"What do you mean sorta?"
"Well I`m kinda singing at it."
"That`s cool."
"Guess what else."
"What?"
"I have a new boyfriend."
"Who?"

"No he isn't."
"Yes he is, do you wanna ask him yourself?"
"Sure."
"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."

Sid walked back down to his car & Kay went inside & into her room.
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."

"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.

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."
