Stilettos and Skates

Six

Aly had spent her morning with several tabs open on her browser, she had really taken her maid of honour duties very seriously and there were so many moving parts to her planning. Kiley had been an absolute saint and had sent over a list of everyone that was attending, so all she had to do was book something, that is if she was doing the bare minimum. However, this was Alyson Fletcher and she didn't do the bare minimum. She had turned Kiley's simple list into a monstrosity, she had memos set up in her calendar to get email or postal addresses for everyone on the list that she couldn't get to herself and that's as much as she needed from Kiley, everything else she would do herself.

She'd just got off the phone with the General Manager of a hotel resort in Bermuda and she name dropped the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Boston Bruins to get some major discount and perks for the trip, because if people could constantly try and get free things from her, she was going to do the same. Kiley was going to have the best bachelorette party and Aly didn't even fucking care if she would step on Charlie's best man's toes. This was going to be epic and she didn't need anyone's help, she wasn't going to think about it. All she had to do was wait for the General Manager to email her everything in writing before she started making permanent plans.

A reminder popped up on her calendar about the ring sizes for the team, making her curse because she forgot she had promised to submit everything today. Thankfully, the boys were training today and she figured she would go down to the rink and get the job done. Her mind was all over the place because she was heading out for Kayla's birthday tonight. They were going for drinks at Sienna Mercato before heading on to a club and she was looking forward to seeing Kayla and hearing all of the gossip between her and Brian since it was now all out in the open.

As always, Aly grabbed her Penguins thermal before she headed into the rink. It was a nice warm day so she wasn't going to put the jacket on until she was inside, which made no sense but since she was walking into an ice rink with enough Air-Con to freeze her ass off, she needed it. She walked out of the tunnel and onto the bench, keeping as quite as possible because Mike had the guys on centre ice, going over a play. Nobody noticed her at first, though Sid looked over at her the second she made the decision to sit on the boards with her legs hanging over the ice. She nodded a hello to him which he returned before looking back at Mike and she waited five minutes before he was finished, skating over to her.

"Hey sweetie."

"Hi." She smiled. "I need the guys for like a minute to get their ring sizes, I have to get it back to head office for prep."

"I'll call them over once they've done their drill." He nodded, giving Ty a hand gesture that told him to take over. "How you doing?"

"Great!" She nodded. "I'm just running around like a mad woman trying to do 'what if' prep for the playoffs, planning Kiley's bachelorette and I'm also out tonight for a birthday dinner which I've also been planning." She shook her head. "I gotta stop taking on projects."

"Yeah, Kiley said you've completely took over the planning for her and its making it very easy." He laughed. "Bermuda, right?"

"Yeah, she mentioned Bermuda so I've just ran with it. It's going to be chaotic but fun. I've almost got everything sorted. I may have name dropped a few hockey teams to get what I want but it's looking good." She almost snorted. "I will apologise now for how drunk I'm going to be but hopefully you'll be just as drunk and wont be able to judge me."

"I've given up judging you." He smiled. "You and Kiley are like two peas in a pod and if I judged you, I'd have to judge her and she wouldn't like that."

"We might be chaotic together but at least we're sensibly chaotic." She had a little smirk to herself because she knew it was going to be a fun filled weekend, she'd also noticed Jeremy's name on the guestlist and knew she'd have the best time with him, considering how well they got along and it meant Kiley could mingle without having to make sure she wasn't by herself. She didn't know many people going on the trip, not personally in anyways. She knew Kiley's parents, sister and brother, she also knew Charlie and Jeremy but everyone else she only knew about and hadn't really talked to.
