Armani meets an old friend

[WildfireMicro 425]

 Back when Armani Calamari was a young kid playing peewee hockey, he had met another kid named Damon Johnson who played youth soccer. The two of them had an odd sort of rivalry where while they did not feel any actual animosity towards one another, they did try to one up another several times. This led to Armani's first ever injury on the ice, where while Damon was watching he tried to body check a larger kid but ended up getting his leg sandwiched between two large kids, making it break. While it was luckily not a really serious injury, he would need to stay in the hospital for a while and Damon felt awful about it.

 

 A few years after that, they would start to grow apart and eventually Damon moved to Portland Maine with his parents which did make Armani pretty sad. However life kept going on for Armani and years later he is now one of the stars of the Toronto Legion VHL team but has not completely forgotten about Damon. One day, he was taking out the trash on a rare off day from playing in the regular season when he noticed a moving van helping to move in a familiar looking man into a previously unoccupied house. Extremely curious, he headed to the new house to greet his new neighbors if nothing else.

 

 "Umm hello" he said to a dark skinned woman who the wife of the man moving in "my name is Armani Calamari. Welcome into the neighborhood! Ever lived in Toronto before?"

 

 "Oh that name is actually interesting. It almost rhymes. My name is Sasha Johnson, and yeah I have never lived in Toronto but I have visited it a few times"

 

 "Oh you'll love it here, a lot of the people here are extremely friendly."

 

 "So not all of the people then?" Sasha smirked

 

"Heh well you know how people are" Armani shrugs "anyways yeah my parents really loved Italian names and thought that the name just rolled off the tounge pretty well" as the two of them talked, the man came up to the both of them

 

 "Wait are you Armani Calamari?" The man says as he got closer

 

 "Umm yeah do you know me from the VHL- hey wait are you Damon? Damon Johnson?!" The two old friends immediately get into a big hug "I haven't seen you in years my guy!"

 

 "I know man we have a lot of catching up to do, and did you say VHL?" Armani nods,vand Damon begins laughing "man I guess you were not lying when you said you were gonna be a big hockey player someday."

 

 "Hey you said you were gonna be a soccer star, what happened there?"

 

 "Ehh I settled down after high school. I don't regret it obviously, and I still occasionally play some semi-pro soccer. I moved back to my home town so I can get back to Canada"

 

 "I completely understand that, and I will have to introduce you to my wife and small son. They would be happy to meet you!"

 

 "Alright my man" Damon said as he began to follow Armani to his house "lead the way"
