Feedback: Hmm, shall we ponder this for a second.  Yes please, and when I find an author who DOESN'T want feedback, I'll change this and apologise.

Rating: R, for later chapters.  Dark themes ahead, but shh, don't tell anyone.

Disclaimer:  Disney owns ALL things Ducky.  Bastards, it's SO unfair.  At least they don't own Mr. LaRusso, hehe.  I'm just borrowing the characters, and some of the plot.  Nothing more.

Summary:  Adam Banks was always the loner of the group.  Everyone knows that people go through bad times during high school, well how will our star Duck hold out when things become a little to hard for him.  Takes place during D3 but continues onwards.

Notes:  I know nothing about the American schooling system nor the American sport of ice-hockey so PLEASE don't flame me for getting things wrong.  Because of this there will be few references to how school actually operates, and also, very little in terms of hockey.  The lack of hockey may also be explained later on in the story.

Dedication:  This fic is dedicated first and foremost to Star and Victory Thru Tears.  Their fantastic series "Mighty Queertet" was the inspiration for this fic (and guys, I didn't steal any ideas off you, promise!).  It is a wonderful and heart-moving piece of fiction and ANY Mighty Ducks fanfic fan who hasn't read it should be ashamed of themselves.  Thanks!!!  Secondly, to Stepherz who writes FANTASTIC "Banks-Angst"!!  I LOVE it!  Go girl!!!  Finally to my friends who put up with my little obsession with the Ducks (especially those on MSN who put up with my name "Vincent A. LaRusso is HOT!!!!").  *blush*  Thanks everyone!!!
