This little fic takes place post D2 and preD3 with no mention of D3
I don't own the Mighty Ducks characters, but if I did I would want Portman and Fulton, the amazing Bash Brothers, who star in my story.
Chapter 1
Fulton speaks:
What the hell is wrong with the world? I finally get my chance to skate in the most important tournament in junior sports and guess who shows up…my sister. I mean I love her to death and I would do absolutely anything for her, but this has just gone too far. Since when does she play hockey anyways? She's a tough girl, I'll give her that but she isn't really Duck material. The team already has two enforcers and Portman and I don't need a third. Unfortunately, Coach Bombay doesn't agree with me.
Earlier that day:
"We, the Ducks, are going to be competing in the Junior Olympics in less than 3 weeks." Coach Bombay announced at practice.
"The what?" Charlie called back over the noise that was the usual before practice chaos.
"THE OLYMPICS!" Bombay screeched back.
Every Duck stared at the coach in shock, myself included (and Fulton Reed, Bash Brother and enforcer extraordinaire does not stare in shock).
I guess it finally registered with everyone because Connie and Julie began squealing, Banks, Averman and Charlie started jumping up and down (kinda pansy like now that I think about it), the rest of the guys started slapping hands and Portman and I decided to be the mature ones and beat each other up (to cover our true excitement).
"We will be leaving in 3 weeks for Lillehammer, Norway to compete with the best junior Olympic hockey teams in the world. Iceland will not be our only difficult opponent and since we have a pretty good record with them already, I figure that our only competition is the Russian team, who has won the last 4 hockey gold medals."
"Holy Shit, so they've won like 4 years in a row" Portman bellowed
"Um, actually that means they've won a gold medal every 4 years, because this competition is held only every 4 years, so technically they are on a 16 year winning streak" Averman pointed out "Sir" he added nervously, as Portman did look like he could swallow any member of the team, whole…well except me.
"Fuck…"
"Portman, settle down man." I interjected. "We can beat 'em, just the way we did with Iceland"
That got a cheer from the rest of the team. brushes off shoulders I do know how to make things better around here.
"Now, if we want to beat the Russia team, who I guarantee will make the Iceland team look like a Pee Wee Hockey team, than some changes need to be made in our practices and our line up.
"Not Captain Blood!" Dwayne moaned.
"Yes, Captain Blood, but a nationally endorsed Captain Blood not just a commercially endorsed Captain Blood"
"Huh??" Connie questioned.
"Remember the distraction in a fire in a barrel?"
"Yes" we all answered.
"None of that"
"Yes" Luis said
"But, practices will be intense and I will have to make a few player changes"
That got us all a little nervous, who was going to get cut?
"Now I know what you are thinking, no one is leaving us. Russ told me earlier that he would not be able to go with us so that gives Charlie a slot on the team roster. Instead of Goldberg as our starting goalie I decided that after her great save in the championship against Iceland, Julie will be our new starting goalie. I hope you don't mind Goldberg."
"Well, not really, I do miss snacking on the sidelines, so good luck Julie. You got big shoes to fill." Goldberg replied
"And big pants" I added, for good measure.
Everyone laughed, even Goldberg.
"Now I was thinking that our best defense against the Russian team" Bombay began
"Is a good offense…" we all droned.
"Actually no, I was thinking our best defense is a good defense. Portman and Fulton you two are the best enforcers I've ever coached, but I can't have you both out on the ice at all times and when I do take you off the team suffers, so I decided to bring in another one."
"What!!!" Portman and I yelled.
"We don't need another guy to help us." Portman said
"I know that."
"So what are you saying?" I asked
"Well I'd like you to meet Team USA Duck's newest enforcer, defenseman…Melanie Reed."
Holy crap, it's my sister.
I hope you like my start...review if you are compelled to do so...
