I thrusted the huge cup over top of my head, a huge smile spreading over my face through my sweaty demeanor. Oh god! I still couldn't believe I did it!!! I had won my first Stanley Cup! And with the most unexpected team coming into the playoffs, the Pens. I was totally bat shit crazy right now! I continued to hug Sidney, and Geno; their expressions mirroring mine.

"Flower!" I screamed, jumping on him, careful I didn't hurt his leg. He had broken it during the season against the Sharks, and couldn't play for at least three months. I tried to calm myself down but it wasn't seeming to work.

"We did it!" I yelled and happy tears feel off my cheeks. Sidney, Geno, Nealsy, Brooks, and Kunitz skated over to join our awkward, sweaty, happy hug with the cup in the centre.

"No, my dear," Flower whispered as we pressed the cup in between our bodies, "You did it."

I couldn't help but smile wider, remembering my titles from this season. Only Female to Win the Stanley Cup, Most Assists by Goalie (20), Most Shutouts in one season (17), Best Finnish Goalie, and Conn Smythe Trophy. I couldn't wait until next season.

I sighed and entered the arena for the first time in 2 exceptional, training-filled months. I had visited my family in Finland, my father was making a full recovery. My mum was doing great, with dad back in the house, she was back to her normal self. Emmie, Brad, Tyler, Tuukka, Nathan, Zdeno, and the rest of the Bruins, wouldn't talk to me.....let alone look me in the eyes. In their minds I was a total traitor. Which in some aspects I was but, I didn't care though, i was happy in my new home.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Dan Bylsma, my awesome coach. He didn't even remotely happy to see me which was weird since I was considered one of the best players on the team.

"Lehto, my office" He commanded, with a strict frown and my smile turned into a concerned look. What did I do? Fuck me! He was gonna trade me! But I was the best female goalie in the world.

"Look, as much as I want to keep you-" I cut him off. Something finally clicked. The bruins wanted me back since I was preforming so great. Still, Tuukka was better- I could see flaws in myself were he was a pro.

"No!" I yelled, however he nodded, "They can't!" I groaned, letting all my frustration boil to the surface. Everyone hated me there.

"They can" He countered, which I knew was true. That was the deal. I rolled my eyes. It was basically a death wish going back there, one shot that was too hard at I'd be out for the rest of the season.

"They only want me because I won the fucking Stanley Cup!" I told him, "I can't go back there!"

He frowned, he wasn't happy about this either. I loved it here, why couldn't they leave me alone? "They have rights to you" He said with the same scowl on his face. I shook my head.

"So, I'm going back to the bruins!" Fake enthusiasm entering my every word. "Great!" All my regrets that I left, turned into anger soon after I had gone to the Pens. All I wanted to do was play hockey and Tuukka and Tyler got involved so did my feelings and it just went south from there.

"I'm afraid so," he stated while I rolled my eyes, groaning.

"When do I leave?" I asked, I apparently had a lot more to do than meeting my now 'old' team and practicing.

He glanced at his watch, "In 3 hours" He stated, I rolled my eyes, perfect.

"Well....... Can you sell my truck for me?" I asked, he nodded.

I was living at Sidney's for the past 4 months, he didn't mind. I actually offered on multiple occasions to move out but, he said if this exact situation happened, I wouldn't have to sell alot of things. I had bought another truck and asked Claude to keep the one in Boston. I hope he didn't sell it.

"I apparently have packing to do" I said dully, turning on my heel and walking out of the office. My shoulders slumped forward, I didn't like this at all. Didn't like it? I fucking hate this.

"Alek? What are you doing?" Flower asked as I begun to clean out my locker in the dressing room. I sighed, looking up at him with sad eyes.

"I'm going back to Boston" I said gloomily, tucking my new helmet under my arm. I loved this helmet, with the Pens logo on the side along with the Suomi flag on the other. It was both things I was proud of; my home country and my friends here in Pittsburgh.

"No," he moaned, wrapping his arms around me then squeezing as hard as he could. Flower and I had become instant friends as soon as I had finished the first game I played.

"Yeah, I'm not thrilled either." I stated, shoving my precious helmet into my goalie bag, along with my practice jersey and chest protector.

"What happen?" Geno asked, his thick Russian accent filling up the room. He was followed by Nealsy, Sidney and Orpik.

"Lightning is going back to Boston" Flower answered, as he pulled away from me with a sad smile. They all groaned and each of them hugged me.

"Yup, in 2 and a half hours I will on a plane back to the assholes that made me trade in the first place" I gasped, as Geno picked me up like a doll, squeezed me hard and then set me back down with a grin on his face.

They chuckled, knowing how much I really hated all of them, with the exception of Kaspars. He was the only one that actually talked to me after the trade. Though he was going back to Latvia to play there instead of in the Bruins. Well, I was all alone after all.

"We'll miss our number one backup goalie" Sidney smirked and I hit him in the arm lightly.We laughed and I brought them all into a hug again.

"But, in all seriousness, we'll miss you, Lightning" Orpik smiled and I sniffled back tears a little bit.

"I'll miss you guys, too" I sighed, "Now, go!" I said, coaxing them to go out onto the ice, so I could maybe cry in peace. I tried to laugh it off, i would seriously miss them. They were amazing.

"You have to train hard, so you can score on this" i swallowed hard, then gestured with my hand to my body.

"And remember, you still haven't gotten past me" i said to all of them. Not one of them could unless, I let them.

"Bye, Lightning" They all chanted and I nodded.

"Yeah, but i'll see you guys still, especially when I'm denying you" I sighed as they left, I was seriously going to miss them. They were better than the Bruins, they were supportive, and they loved me and I loved them.

----------

I landed in Boston around 1:00 pm their time. I lugged all my bags out to the sidewalk when I realized I didn't have a ride. I think I still have Claude's number. I searched through my phone and there it was. I pressed call, and prayed to god he'd pick up.

"Yes?" he said, his voice coming out scowl-like through the phone. Only person here I missed.

"Um....Hi, I just realized I don't have a ride." I said, he chuckled.

"I'll get Kaspars to pick you up" I didn't know Kaspars was still in the states. Weird, I thought he left for the Latvian league in August.

"Okay, thanks" I hummed, sincerely thankful.

He just chuckled again, "No problem" and he hung up. I waited half an hour and there he was, not Kaspars but, the person I was planning to avoid all together.

Tuukka. Well shit.

Notes

Anyway, weird turn of events, hey? I knew, she was going to win the Stanley cup, she's an exceptional goalie.
