Inker Belle gets a new sponsorship

[WildfireMicro 435]

 "..Inker gets the puck, moves it around trying to find an opening, save by the goalie...rebound and SCORE! Inker Belle gets her second goal and Toronto goes up 1-0!" The game announcer says as Inker Belle pumps her fist up and cheers before fist bumping her fellow players and heading back to the bench. It has been one amazing first season in the VHL for Inker, and she was having all kinds of fun playing for the first place Toronto Legion. After the game, Inker goes back on the team bus, massaging a slight bruise on her cheek but still feeling great about the 2-1 victory over the Malmo Nighthawks. She was showing off her teeth to a fellow player who was curious about them when her cell phone rang.

 "Hello Inker, it's your manager Paul" the voice on the other end said "sorry for calling from a weird number, but I kinda dropped my phone in a bathtub. Last time I check my phone while I'm giving my dog a bath!"

 "Shouldn't you just use the shower head when giving a dog a bath?" Inker said curiously, raising an eyebrow

 "Nah Buddy is a big golden retriever, we kinda need to give him a big bath. Anyways, I'm calling you from my brother's phone to say that the performance from you in the latest game is why I love representing you!"

 "Oh well I have to give a lot of credit to my teammates as well, it's not just me!" She smiles

 "You're pretty humble as well, that's good too! Well the other reason that I am calling you is because we have a few merch sponsorship deals to look through"

 "Oh? I wasn't sure if I would get sponsorship offers this early"

 "Well they are all local, but still" Paul shrugs "once you get back in Toronto, we'll look over things and see which ones look good to you, sound good?"

 "Yeah sure! I'll see you when I get back in Toronto. Oh, and sorry about your phone, do you think you'll be able to get a replacement?"

 "Oh I'll probably have a replacement by the time you get back, don't worry too much about it" Inker got off the phone after that, and some time later she heads to Paul's office, where she looks over a few offers "you're not feeling the steakhouse sponsorship? Why's that?"

 "I'm not that big on steaks, and besides i haven't really eaten there before." Inker shrugs "When I get sponsored by something, I want everyone to know that I have tried it before and it is good, you know?"

 "Yeah I get that" Paul nods, before pointing to a hockey gear sponsorship "don't you use their pads?"

 "Oh yeah! I use their gear a lot" Inker smiles "that does sound pretty good. We should probably call them about it, much more relevant then a bobblehead sponsorship. I stopped collecting bobbleheads a while ago"

 "Why did you stop?"

 "Well my brother had an intervention when he discovered that I almost filled two boxes full of bobbleheads. Kinda glad that he did, it was getting expensive. This was back in the VHLM by the way."

 "I see! We'll I'll go call the people at Evergame Gear, and we'll go from there, ok?" Paul says as he grabs his new phone

 "Sounds good!"
