The excitement in Flamefly could be seen by anyone as he trotted to spring training. He had been picked, and by his hometown team. The Red and orange maned Pegasus with yellow fur was nervous and was tired . Despite this he had high hopes for the season. There was only one thing he would have liked more: The Luna cup. He was nearing his destination when his friend Leaf storm managed to catch up with him.
The dark green pegasus mare flew torwards him annoyed at the fact the Flame seemed to actively avoid her. "Hey wait up" she shouted angrily. When Flamefly started to slow down she continued "Since we're teammates now how do we keep up the rivalry?"
Which he responded "By scoring goals of course!" Leaf at asked "Other than that though, do we count points or not?" When he realized that this was going nowhere Flamefly flew away with Leaf in hot pursuit. Flame didn't get why Leaf hadn't let up for the last few weeks. He knew they both would make the team so he didn't get or know her reasons to be so competitive before the season even started!? Flame knew they both had tense nerves so he tended to loosen them with a race.
"Beat c'ha to practice!" He yelled while Leaf came back with " Not if I beat you to training"

"Welcome to the tryouts for the Cloudville Predators everpony! As you know my name is Lighning Strike star Captian of the Predators. We nearly had a chance for the cup this year but blew it. We know we have a championship caliber team but the question is are you championship caliber players? That's why we are here aren't we? You heard me we are looking for 5 more players because of the fact the the Equestrian Hockey League decided that we could have 5 more players along with some new teams.There will be a lunch break and that is when we will determine who makes the cut. If you make the cut then you will stay for the afternoon for additional practice and contracts. Now without further to do start this tryout!"
Flamefly immediately picked up the puck and started skating to the goal. The light brown Stalion who was in goal watched as Flame checked Leaf Storm out of the way and scored the goal with a Slapshot. The Brown Stalion steadied himself and prepared for another shot on goal.
