Alex saw her mother and waved her over. Shane followed her daughter’s lead and walked over.

Shane: Alright Thelma, Louise, ready to hit the road?

They nodded.

Alice: Wait, Alex where’s the rest of the team?

Alex: Oh they took a bus. I wanted to take a road trip tough, wanted to spend some quality time with the two of you without one of my teammates all over all three of us.

Alice laughed and Shane smiled.

It was nearly an hour and a half later when they checked into their hotel in La Jolla. Since Alex was late, she got a room to herself being that there were 17 on the team and they were doing rooms of 2. Shane and Alice shared a room. They were relaxing in their rooms when Alex heard a knock. At first she thought it was from Alice and Shane’s room being that they were next to her and their rooms connected by a door. But no, this one was from her front door. She got up and opened it to find her coach.

Coach: Alex, good to see you made it.

Alex: Hey coach come on in.

Coach: I just came to clear all the rules up with you.

Alex: Alright.

Coach: Our game is in four hours, so rest up. No one is to leave this floor accept to get food. You know what to eat before a game. Absolutely no booze or drugs allowed before or after the game. No guys allowed in your room and you should be in the lobby an hour and a half before the game. We’ll all take the bus together to the gym. So were is your mother and Alice?

Alex: One second.

Alex went over and knocked on the side door.

Alex: Guys, coach wants to see you.

Shane and Alice walked trough the doorway.

Coach: Mrs. McCutcheon, Mrs. Pieszecki make sure she rests up, gets something light to eat and all three of you in the lobby an hour and a half before the game.

Alice stood at halt and saluted her.

Alice: Understood.

The coach smiled.
