AAOOOSC!: Gulls' Adventures!

Thirty minutes later, the Jeep pulls up into the players’ lot of the Valley View Casino Center. Diligently following it is the black car.

“Oh…,” Jasmine is heard saying from her car. “It’s not so secret.”


In the locker room, all of the Gulls are gearing up for the game against the Stockton Heat, the AHL affiliate of the Calgary Flames.

Yet it is more like “Story Time with Bryan” than gearing up time since Bryan Moore is babbling on about his own adventurous adventures from his stall.

“And then my brother was like, ‘That’s a fish!’ and I was like, ‘That’s a fish? I thought that was a shark!’ And he said, ‘Like a San Jose Shark?’” Bryan laughs at what his brother said. “And I said, ‘If a Shark was in the Lake Norman, I would—’"

The three residents of the Monarossabergie House step into the room with a loud entrance: “I am Monty Muffins! King of the—!”

Joseph slaps his hand over Brandon’s mouth and pulls him back. “Shut up.” He darts his eyes to the storyteller. “Spare me some stick tape.”

“What’s the magic word?” Bryan asks him tauntingly.

Joseph glowers at him, looking like he could murder on him any second. Nick proceeds to go to his stall.

Bryan breaks out into a sweat and chuckles. “Heh heh heh okay…!” He plucks a roll of stick tape from his grand pile of stick tape and tosses it over to him.

Joseph rips a piece off from the roll and slaps it over Monty’s mouth. “And keep it there,” he growls at him.

Brandon attempts to talk clearly, but all that comes out are muffles as the tape moves. His eyes are big with confusion on his roommate.

Stu is gawking in horror at what his teammate did to the defenceman. “Why did you tape Monty’s mouth?”

Joseph leads Brandon to his stall and pushes him in there. He sits in his stall, which is next to his.

“You’ll thank me if you know what he says,” Joseph tells him haughtily.

Bryan’s eyes light up. “Ooo, I wanna hear what he says!” He jumps to his skates and rushes over to Brandon, pulling off his stick tape.

Brandon gasps as he rolls his eyes up. “I CAN TALK!!!” He then clears his throat. “Like what I was saying--” He places a hand on his chest. “--I am Monty Muffins, king of the palace! And YOU” --he points to his team-- “are my servants!” He shakes his fist in the air. “Bring me muffins!”

From the corner of the room, one of the team’s goalies, Matt Hackett, cries out, “I don’t have any muffins, king of the palace! I’m so sorry! I’ll bring some tomorrow!”

Bryan gapes at him with excitement. “Oh my gosh, I like muffins too!” He begins numbering off the muffins he can think of with his fingers. “Double chocolate muffins are the best, blueberry muffins are always soggy, and poppyseed muffins are just plain weird--!”

“Bring me muffins!” Brandon orders with forced authority.

“Trust me, I want muffins too,” Bryan tells him full-heartedly.

“I WANT MUFFINS!!!” Brandon screams.

“I don’t have any muffins!” Matt sobs out before breaking down into tears.

“We’re here to play hockey, not whine for muffins,” Joseph growls at Brandon. He then shoves a chest pad at Brandon. “Suit up.”

Not too far away from the locker room, Jasmine is warily strolling through the white-painted, zig-zagged hallway where the locker room is located. She has her smartphone held up in front of her, showing her viewers on her live stream what she is seeing. “Okay guys and this is where they dress up.”

She pokes her phone into the doorway, catching sight of the scene. “And I’m gonna zoom in on number twenty-six, Brandon Montour.” She slides her fingers up against the screen, having the camera zoom in on Brandon’s face. “OMG isn’t he so cute—?!”

Another face slides into view, blocking off Brandon’s face from the feed. It turns out to be Joseph’s deadly face.

“Oh that’s just Cramarossa,” Jasmine tells her viewers nonchalantly. “He’s grumpy ninety-nine point nine percent of the time. My friend likes him for some odd reason, I don’t know why.”

The display of the screens turns shaky as there is movement from the other side. Then a hand appears from behind the phone, pushing it down toward the ground.

Jasmine comes face-to-face with Joseph himself.

“Get out.” He spins her around and pushes her back into the hallway.

Jasmine whirls around to face the locker room as Joseph reenters it. “Rude!”
