DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Mighty Ducks…I wish I did. In this story "Traci" is "Mindy" from "D3" but she is based on an RPG character thus the reason for the name change (Name created by Victory Thru Tears). As you may have noticed Chapter One of this story is the same as Chapter One of "First Impressions." I decided to try to make a continuation of "First Impressions." So, if you like the idea of the story ending where "First Impressions" did, that's cool but if you're curious to see what happens after you can read this story and find out.
Traci Michaels tapped her foot against the floor to the rhythm of the NSYNC song stuck in her head. She glanced around the crowded room searching for a familiar face. She didn't understand why it was necessary to spend the last two days of summer vacation stuck inside an un-air conditioned auditorium being orientated about life as an Eden Hall student.
Traci suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned expecting to see one of the girls she meet at cheerleading tryouts but instead found herself staring into an amazing pair of brown eyes.
"This seat taken?" He asked gesturing to the seat next to her.
'Hmm, what's his deal?' She thought.
"No one's sitting in it." Traci answered.
He sat down next to her. "So what do you think of this place?"
"I think I could be spending my last days of freedom more productively." She responded.
"Are you trying to tell me learning about the conduct code of this fine establishment isn't thrilling you?" He asked.
"I think I enjoyed the dress code speech the most." She said.
He gave a once over to her tank top and mini skirt. "I see you paid attention."
She laughed. "Yeah, well I don't think they can kick me out before school even starts."
"Fair enough." He said. "Besides I have an in on the board. I'd put in a good word for you if necessary."
"You don't even know me." She said.
"Then we should remedy that." He told her.
She raised her eyebrows. "Oh, you think we should?"
He nodded. "Yes, that's why I said it."
"And how would we do that?" she asked.
"Dinner, tonight. I'll pick you up at 6." He answered.
She was intrigued by the boy's confidence. "Alright." She replied. "6 is fine."
He nodded. "Great…you know I don't even know your name."
"Traci." She replied.
"I'm Rick, Rick Riley." He told her.
"Well, Rick Riley I'll see you tonight." She said.
"Looking forward to it." Rick said standing up and walking back to his group of friends.
The boys spoke for a few moments and high fived each other. Traci shook her head and turned her attention to whatever old man was about to bore her for the next hour. This was going to be an interesting year.
