Disclaimer: Need I even say anything at all? But, for my own safety's sake, I'll say it all the same. I do not own the Mighty Ducks. I do own the OCs.
Inspiration has also been given by Gossip Girl, and countless American TV shows and movies in which particular groups – be they elite or just interesting – are blogged for the entertainment of others (be it a small, or essential part of their programme). Credit also goes to galindapopular's "Duck Watch" and sToriTyme's "Just Friends" which have both been a great source of entertainment and inspiration.
Default Plea: It starts with an 'R'...ends in a 'W' - I want some. Gimme!
Note:
- For this story, it's probably best if you've read my two other stories, or at least my last one. Just so you know some of their histories, and how the OCs fit in to this.
- 'Salut mes amis!' is French for 'hi my friends' or, if you want to Americanise it "Hey guys"
The Scandalous Flock of 96
Charlie's POV
I was in the library when it first happened. It's strange, really, to think of all the things that have happened there, because until I came to this school, the library was just a room filled with books. Now it's the place where I've spent many a sleepless night working on forgotten assignments, the place where Luis and Mindy went through their final break up, the place where Fulton and I were smacked over the head with a foot long ruler by one of the creepy library monitors for playing our music too loud. And it's also the place where I received my first update from Meddlesome Mademoiselle.
At the time, my Geography class was using the computers there to type up our latest report on salinity, when a little box appeared in the corner of the screen, informing me that I had mail. Eager for a distraction, I clicked the box open.
Welcome to the Spotlight!

Salut mes amis!
I guess you're wondering who I am, and what I'm even e-mailing about. Well, let's just say that Eden Hall is tiring of the lives of the elite Seniors, and is deciding to move back down to ground level. After all, there's only so much we can hear about Mindy's latest two day boyfriend, and Darren Stuart's suspected outing to the brothel. I mean, in the end, they're still going to live in mansions, with plenty of money, have high paying jobs and go on European vacations every year.
But with Mighty Ducks and Co? Well, every drama, every piece of gossip, could prove damaging beyond repair. We're all aware of your...situations. Well, you'll hear from me every now and then, but in the meantime, don't forget to check out the blog – it's updated daily – and if you've got some news for me, the Reply button is all you'll need.
XOXO,
Meddlesome Mademoiselle

Meddlesome Mademoiselle? You mean this girl was going to blog about...the Ducks? I was seriously confused, and just slightly paranoid. Why the hell would someone bother blogging about my team, and my friends? It didn't make sense – didn't she have anything better to do?
My daydreaming was interrupted by a new box popping up in the corner of the screen. I clicked it.
Did you read that message?

Guys,
I looked at the To: list and saw that you got that 'Welcome to the Spotlight' e-mail too. What's that all about? New kid with nothing else to do with her time? She can't seriously think that she's gunna be able to know everything about us! But how the heck did she get Jessica's e-mail? She doesn't even go to Eden Hall.
Should we subscribe? I think I will - it can't hurt to know what MM is saying about us.
Luis
Unlike Luis, I wasn't sure whether I felt like subscribing to the latest gossip and rumours concerning both myself, and my friends. Kenny and Dwayne (who were sitting with each other) were whispering to each other, glancing at their computer screens every now and then, looking mildly curious. I wondered what the others thought about it all, and how they'd received it.

TP POV (Third Person Point of View)
Julie 'The Cat' Gaffney loped down the corridor, agreeably involved in re-playing the most enjoyable parts of her Saturday night date with Scooter over in her head. Upon entering her room, she barely even noticed Connie sitting down in front of their shared computer typing up a Maths Assignment, and began readying her hockey gear.
"Julie, when were we supposed to get that formula sheet?" she asked her, her voice exasperated. The goalie shrugged.
"I honestly don't know. Wasn't he going to e-mail us, or something?" Julie replied. Connie "hmphed" and opened up her inbox.
"Well," she said, "you're right. He sent it like 3 minutes ago...wait, what's this?" There was silence for a while before she spoke again. "Oh my God! Jules, come have a look at this."
Eager to understand her friend's excitement, Julie leant over and read the e-mail. She looked up, curiosity etched into her expression. "Well, come one. Subscribe so we can see what they've written about us!"
Connie clicked the link, and a message reading "Thanks for subscribing" popped up onto the screen. "So...I guess it's just a matter of time."
And so it was...
A/N: Well guys, it's only a short chapter, I realise that, but they gradually get longer. If you've got any ideas, please let me know :)
