AAOOOSC! Mini Stories!

A woman is staring straight ahead. She then says solemnly, “I noticed it as soon as we moved into the new house."

She is now sitting behind the countertop in the kitchen, contently sipping on a mug. Then the sound of clomping is heard from behind her, causing her to peer behind her shoulder.

Her husband lumbers into view, rounding the countertop, in the full equipment of a Dallas Stars’ skater. He faces his back at her as he stands in front of the refrigerator, displaying the big ninety-one and “Seguin” patched on his jersey.

Her husband is then sitting behind the dining table on his phone.

His wife then steps into view and places a hand on his shoulder. “What do you want for dinner?” she asks him tenderly.

Her husband bursts into a fit of giggles with a massive smile.

The wife is now sitting on the sofa leisurely when her husband approaches her, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts.

“Hey, wanna listen to the Biebs with me?” He whips out a Justin Bieber CD and shakes it in the air with a smile.

His wife peers up at him, slightly gawking. “I thought you liked One Direction…”

The headshot of Tyler Seguin is then displayed on a phone being raised in front of the owner.
The husband is heard saying in the background. “I’m becoming my…”

The couple is actually sitting side by side on the sofa. The wife is still normal. Yet her husband now has a black backward cap with tattoos littering his arms and thick, nicely trimmed facial hair.

“...favourite hockey player,” the husband finishes off sadly.

The couple is now sitting across from each other in the dining room, eating a simple dinner.

“I really like Jamie Benn!” the husband exclaims with glee. “He’s like my best buddy!”

The wife uncomfortably adjusts herself with downcast eyes.

“It’s been hard,” the wife is heard saying as a voiceover, "but some of the stuff he says is actually…”

Back in the scene with the couple sitting on the sofa, the wife continues talking, “...pretty helpful.”

Her husband then holds out his fist out at her. She returns to him an awkward glare.

The husband is now in the backyard, holding a flying disc. At his feet are three Labrador dogs, jumping up toward the toy in uncontainable excitement. “Bundling your home and auto insurance is a good deal!” he shouts behind his shoulder. “Like getting three dogs!” He then thrusts the flying disc into the air.

The dogs rush after it, out of view.

“More love to go around!”

The husband is now doing a one-handed plank on an exercise mat in his bedroom.

The narrator then says as the words “Progressive” appears in front of the screen: "Progressive can’t protect you from becoming your favourite hockey player, but we can protect your home and auto."
