A friend from Danger's past appears in a very un expected way. What happens when Pinkster comes back for revenge?

Against all odds

(Chap 1: the past) (Duck's P.O.V)

"I wasn't always as arrogant or as much of a scaredy cat in the past as I am now. But I don't want me or my friends to get hurt the way others have before…"

I was only nearly 2 years old, one day to go. Me and Pinkster were using our spare time… or should I say the bullies, Jim, Darren and Toni, were using up our time to pick on us. They were just about to throw themselves on us when a whistle was blown, a signal for a house meeting.

"We'll get you next time dorks." Darren, the leader, snarled and left.

"When are they gonna' get it that they'll never def-d-de-def-d beet you?"

"well there's a first for everything. Come on, we're gonna' be late."

When we got there not every one had came just yet so we sat on the floor and talked.

"Wonder what all the com-co-c-co-com fuss is all about."

"Yea."

"Everyone." Miss Smiles stood up. "We have a new child in here today. She's from England, she's only 11 months old. Although she's the only girl here I want you to treat her like you would everyone else. Pink, Duck there's no more room in the house so she'll have to room with you, I want you to be extra nice to her. Come in."

A girl with black, wavy hair down to her feet, wearing a black t-shirt and black combats came threw the door.

"Everyone, this is Jenna. Ok now you can all go and play, you two show her to her room."

We nodded and walked up the stairs.

"So you from England?" I asked . She shrugged.

"You don't sp-s-sa talk much do you?" Pinkster stuttered, making her crack a small smile and she shook her head.

"Why don't you say anything?" As if I'm going to get an answer

"I just… don't like talking to people… I just… I don't know."

"Oh well. Here we are."

The room as the size of a larder with three mattresses, some blankets and pillows on the floor. The wall was plain white with some posters of superheroes from cartoons like Spiderman and drawings of each other. In the corner was a wardrobe where we kept our clothes. Our only toys were swords and shields we made ourselves, lying on our beds.

"It's not much, but at least we have a place to sleep." I smiled.

"It's fine." she smiled. She dumped her bag on her bed and we all went outside. "So names?"

"I'm Pinkster."

"I'm Duck, but Pinkie here calls me Danger. You can too."

"Cool."

"What are you doin' out here? I thought I told you to stay away from my play yard."

"Shut it big-but. We're just showin' the new girl around."

"A new girl hay?" He grabbed hold of Jenna's arm. "You don't belong with these losers. I'll show you a good time." she pulled away from him. "Is that how it's goin' ta' be?… Why don't you talk? SAY SOMETHING!" he demanded. She shook her head. Enraged he punched her in the face, sending her to the floor "What's the mater? Cat got your tongue? Freak."

"Shut it dick head." she said and kicked him where the sun don't shine. She was really smart and tough for someone that age.

For a while no one bothered us. But eventually we became lower than before. No one wanted to even be in the same room with us if they had a choice, they would spread roomers and laugh at us. But still we fought together. We were the best of friends. The years went by and we became closer and closer together.

But one day, a couple came looking for someone to adopt when I was 8. We were the only ones left, me, Jenna and Pinkster. Because she was the only girl the two adopted her.

I found her later after we heard the news, packing.

"Bet your glad to leave us."

She turned hardly enough to see the side of her face. "Not really."

"I can't believe that your doing this to us. What about the pact? We're supposed to stick together-"

"I know! Oh Danger I don't know what to do… I don't want to leave you here, but what choice do I have?" She faced me, tears flooding her sapphire blue eyes. Her body now visibly wracking with sobs.

"you.. You realy don't want to go?"

"why would I want to go? My only friends are here… promise me one thing."

"Anything"

"Don't forget me." She gave me a friendship bracelet and put an identical one around her wrist. "Promise you'll never take it of."

"I promise."

More than a year later I was adopted by the loving couple that gave me the life I all so much wanted. I spent weeks looking for Jenna, hoping we could still be friends. I would look around the streets 'till dark and before school I would also search, during weekends I would sneak out at night to look for her. 5 months went buy 'till I found her.

I was in the school lunch hall. I sat alone in a dark end of the room. No one would talk to me, no one would listen. everyone hated me, even the teachers had it in for me. I sat and stared at my food. Again I wasn't feeling hungry. I never had since Jenna left. I pushed the plate forward.

"Your gonna make yourself sick if you don't eat Danger." I turned to see a beautiful girl only about an inch smaller than me, her hair was black with a white streak in it and wearing a red top with black and red striped sleeves and a picture of a bat on it. She also sported black combats and a black and red friendship bracelet.

I looked at me friendship bracelet. They were the same. "Jenna?" she nodded and smiled, sitting down next to me.

"Now you better eat. Your gonna get sick." She pushed the plate back to me. I ate until I was finished and we went outside.

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere."

"My adopted parents kidnapped me-"

"how is that possible?"

"It's difficult to explain. They hid me in Australia. I now have a new family who lives here."

"How long where you missing?"

"Since I left the orphanage. I've only just got back here."

"I'm glad your back. I've missed you."

"I missed you to. You've really changed your stile." when she knew me back then I would only where ripped jeans and black baggy t-shirts. Now I normally ware normal jeans, a skater shirt and a blue and gray hoody. "well, not all too much but still, change is change."

"You like ice shows?"

"Yea, why?"

"Well me and my parents were going to go the performance of the new ice rink on opening night… tonight, but they can't come. I thought you'd like to come."

" 'Corse I would. When will we meet?"

"7:00. Here's my address. See ya."

It wasn't so bad from then on. We went to the show and had a blast. Somehow we were in every single class together and were sat together foe most of them and it turns out she only lives across the road from my house.

Many years had passed, now I was 12. One day we were walking home and I couldn't help but feel slightly uncomfortable. When she came near me I felt weird. My heart would jump and I would feel so light headed. When we talked I felt nervous, like I was going to say something stupid.

"are you ok Danger?"

"I don't know… I've been feeling kinda weird lately."

"Yea… me too. But it's weird. I only seem to get it around… you."

"Me too… Jenna, I'm sorry." I pulled her close to me. Her cheeks blushed.

"What are you doing."

"I'm sorry." I pulled her closer and my lips touched hers. She didn't pull away like I thought she would. It was so weird, it was like time had gone in slow motion and fast forward at the same time. When we parted it as so difficult to break the auquard silence that had grown.

"I'm sorry about that. I don't know what-"

"Don't be."

"…What?"

"Don't be sorry… it was good. I… I like you."

"You do?"

"Sure I do."

"I… I'm in love with you." I whispered in her ear.

"and I love you."

"Soooooooooooo. You wanna… go out with… me?" I asked shyly.

"Ok."

"I mean only if you want to."

"Really, I would love to." she pulled me to her level and gave me a kiss on the cheek then wandered home, leaving me to wonder what the hell just happened.

We were closer than anything then. But one day, we were too close. When I was 13…

There was a boy in our classes. He had his eye on Jenna as well. Although she was a 'looser' like me she was one of the most beautiful girls in the whole school. If she was seen with him she would become a 'popular' girl and me, I would be forgotten.

"Hey sexy. What you doin with that piece of trash?"

"hey! He's far from and F.Y.I were trying to play basketball."

"Oh, you should be with a real man. How about I sow you how to play some real games in the girls shower? No one goes there anymore."

"sorry but no. Now excuse me, we're trying to play."

"Come with me and I'll show you the true meaning of play." He lunged at her and tried to put his hand down her pants while pining her against the wall, her arms and legs somehow restrained.

I kicked him in the side, making him fall to the ground. "Jenna! Are you alright."

"yea."

"I was so scared. I thought he had you there." I hugged her.

"So that's how it is. Guys get him, I've got some revenge to take out." and then my world went black.

I woke up in the school yard. I looked around to find Jenna. I got up quick when I spotted something far away, something that looked like a body. My stomach lurched when I reached her.

Her body was covered in bruises and cuts. Her body looked like it had been slashed at with a jagged knife. There were shallow cuts around her neck as if made by a pen knife. Blood stained the white streak in her hair. Her right eye was black and blood was seeping through the corner of her mouth.

"Jenna!" I sat beside her and felt her wrist. I couldn't feel anything. I turned her over and put me head on her chest. She was still breathing, but only just. She had to get help, now, but I didn't have a phone. Being careful not to jostle her I took her to my home.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After spending weeks in the hospital the doctors said it wasn't likely she was going to survive. Not only was she hurt, but she had gotten dreadfully sick. She was aloud to stay at home. I remember the last time I ever saw her…

It was raining, the sky was pitch-black and cloudy. I ran across the road in a failing attempt to stay dry.

I quietly came to her room. She was sleeping. I sat next to her on the bed and put my hand on her head. She was burning up badly. Her skin was pail and beaded with sweat. Her breaths were heaved.

She stirred and opened her eyes, "Danger?… what are you doing here?" She spluttered between coughs. Just talking made her feel weak.

"calm down, I just came to see you. I'm staying here tonight."

"You shouldn't have to do this Danger."

"I want to… the doctors said that you could die at any time and I ant to be there for you… I can't let you die alone. But anyway, I think you can get through this."

2You know what the doctors said."

"they said you still have a chance."

"but a small one." She gasped in pain. "I'm not gonna make it."

"don't say that. You… Your gonna be fine."

"No I… won't."

"What can I do? What will I do without you?"

"Don't give up hope, and promise me one thing"

"anything."

"Don't forget me, and never take of your friendship bracelet of… promise me."

"I promise."

After I spoke she fainted. Fearing for her life I called for her parents.

She was taken to a hospital. The next day we had news that she was in a coma and they said they would tell us as soon as she was awake and if she survived her illness or not once tests had been done after she awoke… but they never did, and her parents had disappeared

That was a dream duck was having about his past, I'll update as soon as I can.
