Eric Richards and his family work on getting the moving truck ready. Eric had been trades to Sarasota Florida from Chicago, and he was preparing to move to the new house he bought there. Even Tsuyu Asui is moving away because het father had gotten a job in Tampa. Surprisingly those two events are unrelated, as Tsuyu has been planning to move for weeks before Eric got traded. All a happy coincidence.
"Hey Clair" Eric said to his wife "when we get there want to look around all the beaches?"
"I'd love that Eric" Clair said smiling "Honestly I am just glad for better weather. When they say Windy City they mean it!"
"I know right?" Eric says as he puts Noah in his car seat "less crime too...I think. I've heard a lot about Florida man"
"Eric that meme is over two decades old"
"I know. Now I feel old" They then get into the large moving truck and meet up with Eric's parents who already have thier stuff set up with the help of a moving company
"Well Eric ain't this ironic. Moving to Florida" His father Dean says as Eric helps with the last few boxes "you and I were both Kentucky Wildcats players and the Florida Gators were our biggest rival, now we are moving there"
"Yeah I know dad but at least it ain't Gainesville" Eric says with a smile "anyways you better be ready it's gonna be a long drive and plane ride" After meeting up with Tsuyu and helping her get ready, they head to the airport in time to make thier first class flight
"I have never flown first class before" Tsuyu says excitedly, the Richards having bought the Asui family first class tickets"I have always flown third class"
"I know how you feel" Eric says "I was the same way first time I flew first class"
"So how do you feel about getting traded?"
"Well basically its a new opportunity for me to show how good I can be. Maybe a change of scenery is just what I need"
"Indeed get a fresh start and meet new faces, could be a new beginning for you"
"Yep this is another chance to be great. I love the city of Chicago and I am kinda sad to be leaving, but I need a change and this will help me a lot"
"Right" Tsuyu said, then went back to eating the peanuts she was given on the plane "man these peanuts are better then I thought"
"Oh really?" Eric eats one "oh yeah these are pretty good. Glad you got them" they share them for a bit until Eric notices a button on the seat "Don't tell me..." he presses it and immediately feels the seat warm up "oh yes! Heated seats!"
"Oh my god" Tsuyu says as the whole two families activate the seats and relaxes in the plane as they eat some really good food served in the plane while watching thr first Die Hard on the plane TV. "Wow this is an old movie" she notes as she sees the picture quality
"Yeah I think it was made in the nineties" Eric says, then after a flight that lasts just over an hour and a half they reach the Sarasota airport "just as the movie ends"
"Looks like all sun and fun" Clair notes, seeing how sunny it is there "oh the beaches outta be amazing!" They eventually get thier luggage and head to the Sarasota Sailfish Headquarters after dropping off Tsuyu and het family at a hotel to talk to thier GM, Frost
"Hey welcome!" Frost says as they all shake hands "glad you made it"
"I am glad I made it too, plane trip was pretty quick, watched Die Hard on the way" Eric says as he sits down
"That does sound nice" Frost says "I will just get down to business. We are trying to reach the Ultimus. And we want you to be at your absolute best every game"
"Trust me I plan to. I plan to work as hard as I absolutely can to bring glory here"
"That's great to hear!" Frost says "btw how was your son Noah on the plane ride? I know it can be hard on infants"
"He was an angel surprisingly enough. He was actually asleep for most of it!" Eric says as Noah stares at Frost then giggles and coos
"That is an adorable baby" Frost says as he tickles Noah, making him giggle more "anyways i assume you already have living arrangements?"
"Yeah we have a big house not far from here" Eric says "it's really nice from what we have seen of it. Luckily we have a clause in the contract that says we can back out of it if it isn't the same as on the pictures. Yeah my dad here made me put in that clause"
"I was screwed once by something similar when you were a baby Eric, I won't let it happen to you" Dean says
"Well alright then I will let you get settled in your new house and we will talk later at practice" Frost says as they all shake hands and leave to go to the new house which luckily was just as good as advertised.
"New beginning starts with a new house" Eric smiles as they look around the huge 2 story house that also has a large basement and small attic
"Definitely honey" Clar says as they both kiss "things are going to be different and we will show everyone how good you are"
"Absolutely now let's figure out what bedroom will be Noah's" They eventually settle on the one right next to the master bedroom that Eric has already said was his and Clair's bedroom. As they laid on the comfy bed that had been set up by the movers they look into each others eyes "honey you are so beautiful"
"Thank you Eric" they kiss again "let's use this new beginning to be great in everything we do. Go win that Ultimus"
"I will try my best Honey. I will tru my best"
"Hey Clair" Eric said to his wife "when we get there want to look around all the beaches?"
