Introductions
The Ducks squashed the last of their belongings into their bags. Orion came in and called for their attention.
"Alright people" he started. "The bus will be here to take you to the airport in a half an hour so make sure you've got everything packed" he said as he walked down the hall to his office.
"I can't believe we actually beat all the teams this season!" Kenny exclaimed
"Yeah, well at least those grueling practices paid off" Goldberg said shuddering at the thought of how Orion made them work on the ice.
"And now we're off to South Africa" Julie said with a smile. "I hear they say it's got really nice sites." she added.
The bus arrived and the Ducks lugged their heavy bags onto the bus, but of course that was easy for Portman and Fulton since they had muscles and all.
"I wonder if they have any pretty girls there" Luis wondered out loud.
The Ducks shook their heads at Luis's comment. They all talked about what they were gonna do and how they were gonna spend their vacation. When they got to the airport they went to book themselves onto the plane and get their luggage boarded.
"How long before we have to board" Portman asked
"About 15 minuets" Orion replied.
As Orion said the boarding call was announced. The Ducks grabbed their personal belongings and started walking.
"Um aren't you coming Coach?" Charlie asked Orion.
"No you will have a tour guide with you... and LISTEN TO HIM" Orion called after them.
They boarded onto the plane and made their way to their seats. Portman sat next to Fulton. Julie next to Connie. Russ next to Dwayne. Averman next to Goldberg. Charlie next to Adam. Luis next to Guy, and poor little Kenny had to sit next to an old lady who snored when she fell asleep. The Ducks were just talking to each other and trying to make the best out of the long flight. Guy was staring at his girlfriend Connie and Charlie was doing the same with Julie totally ignoring Adam.
"So anyway the guy was..." Adam stopped and waved his hand in front of Charlie's face. "Are you even listening to me?" Adam asked getting annoyed. Charlie suddenly snapped back to reality.
"Huh?" Charlie said waking up. "Sorry what were you saying?" he asked
"Never mind" Adam said clearly annoyed while Charlie turned back to Julie.
"Sometimes I wonder why I'm even friends with the guy if he doesn't ever listen to me" Adam said to himself as he put his headphones on.
Poor Kenny closed his ears because he couldn't take the sound of the woman snoring. After a while he said:
"Doesn't anyone want to swap with me?" he asked, but no one looked at him so it looked like he just needed to sit there and bare with it.
The sky grew dark and soon the Ducks were in dream land. The next morning they woke up to pilot announcing their arrival in Cape Town, South Africa.
"We're there already" Julie said sleepily looking out of her window. She saw they were coming over the coast.
"Wow it looks really nice from an aerial view" Connie commented as she stretched her arms.
"Please fasten your seatbelts we'll be landing in about five minuets" the pilot said over the intercom.
The Ducks all obeyed the pilot and looked out of their windows to see what it looked like.
"Thank you for flying on American Airways we hope you had a peaceful flight and we are now safely on the ground in Cape Town, South Africa." The pilot announced over the intercom.
The Ducks headed for the luggage claim while looking at the huge planes before they went inside. They picked up their bags and went through to the where all of the people were sitting. They saw a banner with 'The Ducks' printed largely over it. As they made their way to the sign, they heard a lot of different accents all around them. When they got to the sign, they found that there was a tall young man who looked about twenty-five.
"Hello, you must be the Ducks" he said in a deep, but kind voice.
"Yeah we are and who are you?" Charlie asked.
"I'm Niko van de Merver" he said. "And I'm going to be your tour guide along with my partner-who you'll meet when we get to the hotel" he said
"Well that's Julie, Connie, Fulton, Portman, Adam, Averman, Goldberg, Kenny, Russ, Luis, Dwayne and I'm Charlie" he said introducing the Ducks.
"Nice to meet you, I think it's gonna take some time for me to learn those names, but I'll manage" he said smiling broadly.
They followed him to a tour bus that was waiting for them outside the airport. They stared at the people and the scenery as they went by. Once they came to the hotel they saw Niko go up to a woman sitting on a chair reading a tour magazine.
"Wow this place is sure fancy" Russ said looking around the huge lobby.
"I'm with you" Adam said as he studied some paintings on the walls.
Niko came back with the woman a few minuets later.
"Goiemore julle my naam is Charmain en ek gaan jou tweede toer persoon wees" the woman said and the Ducks stared at her like she was some sort of alien.
"Sorry" Portman finally said
"Hulle is Americanse" he explained in Afrikaans
"Oh, sorry I didn't know you were American. I just said Good morning my name is Charmain and I'll be your second tour guide." She explained with a laugh
"Oh nice to meet you" Charlie said and introduced all the Ducks again.
When the Ducks got their room numbers and were going up in the elevator Fulton said:
"I've got the feeling we're not gonna understand a lot of people"
"Don't worry I'm fully equipped with an Afrikaans- English dictionary." Adam said
"Oh really and how long is it gonna take you to look up each word?" Charlie asked
"Well at least we've got something" Adam said.
They went up to their rooms and got settled in. In their rooms they all had a balcony looking over the ocean. They had dinner and went to bed dreaming of their vacation and what it was going to be like.
Okay I know this had absolutely nothing to do with time travel, but this was just a starting chapter. The time travel will come in the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and if you did then please R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
