Heartbreak kids (Reunion)

[WhiskyJack 18]

The Reunion. JP and his childhood friend, Mason Jones have been officially reunited in the city of Philadelphia. The two grew up with one another in the city of Mississauga Ontario, but have never played on the same team, this will be their first opportunity to work with one another on an official hockey team. Both are excited for their futures with the Philadelphia Reapers and wish to reward their manager's decisions with a Founder's cup. 

 

     The rumor is that the managers of Philadelphia were trying to unite the two since the VHML entry draft. During the draft only two picks separated Jones and JP, with Jones going 45th overall and JP going 47th. 

 

    The two were used to taking diverging paths as JP was always focusing on the defensive aspects of the game, being drafted to Saskatoon whereas Jones focused more towards the offensive side of the game.

 

      JP's first night in Philadelphia was a long one. After his games today he got the call that he had been traded. A part of him was sad to leave behind his Saskatoon Jersey, and he was nervous leaving Canada. He boarded a plane to Philadelphia with his belongings. After his long flight he arrived in the city of Philadelphia, being welcomed by Mason himself offering JP a room in his apartment so the two could be roommates for a while. The two watched an episode of a show and ate some chips to celebrate their first night as teammates.

 

     The two had kept in contact with one another during JP's short stint with Saskatoon and went through very similar situations early on with their respective teams, both fighting hard for a playoff spot. JP was slightly envious of Mason's early success, being named Captain of The Steel during the showcase as well as Co-Captain and eventual captain of the Philadelphia Reapers. 

 

      JP figured that he would compete with Jones in the next few years to acquire the Captaincy, but after seeing the respect for Jones in the locker room and the cheerful attitude Mason had when JP came to town, he knew that Jones is a man he could follow and a man who could lead The Reaper's to the Founder's cup. It was going to be a grind for sure as there was still many teams that separated The Reaper's from the top, but JP was confident that with his help it wouldn't be long until they were one of the top teams in the league.

 

      JP knew It was going to be a hard day tomorrow, learning the strategies of his new team and seeing where he fits into the line-up, but he was determined to help the Reaper's achieve greatness. 

 

     The following morning he was given his New Jersey. A Reaper's jersey with the number seven on the back, he was excited to gear up and get to work, knowing he had a lot to prove having been traded for a second round pick there were a lot of expectations on him and he was happy to have the chance to silence the criticism.

Great story and the chemistry I’m looking forward on how the two of you will sims on the same teams for the rest of the season. I like how Mason and JP have their similarities and at the same times their deference. 8.5/10
