Disclaimer: I do not own the Mighty Ducks

Many pairings! Mainly a Guy/Connie story with some Adam/Julie, Fulton/Tammy (later), and Averman/OC
So, I never wrote anything for the Mighty Ducks before... This is more of a writing exercise for me so I hope this turns out good!


Little Wonders
Chapter 1


To say that Guy Germaine was nervous would be an understatement. He hasn't seen his fellow Ducks in two years, not since his mom moved them to Seattle, Washington for her job. Now they were moving back to Minneapolis, Minnesota and he was anxious to see all of his former teammates. He wondered if any of them changed at all in two years.

Lester Averman was probably still his goofball self. Julie Gaffney and Greg Goldberg were probably still going head-to-head to be starter goalie. Dwayne Robertson was probably still showing off his skills with a puck and still roping up his teammates during practice. Ken "Little Bash Brother" Wu probably still had great grades and still used his figure skating skills to help him on the ice. Dean Portman and Fulton Reed were probably still thick as thieves and causing trouble on the ice as the Bash Brothers. Luis Mendoza hopefully has learned how to stop properly by now and is still probably the fastest player on the team. Russ Tyler probably still uses his trademark "knucklepuck". Adam "Cake-Eater" Banks is still most likely the best player. Charlie Conway is probably still the leader, heart, and soul of the team.

Guy could definitely depend on the team to not change a lot in two years. He had plenty of conversations on the phone with all of his teammates, mostly with his best friends Charlie, Dwayne and Ken. They talked every week and kept Guy updated on everything about the Ducks. Charlie continuously reassures Guy that they kept his spot vacant till he eventually returned back to Minnesota. He was grateful that they all still wanted him. The Ducks were like a second family to him, albeit a dysfunctional one, but a family nonetheless. No matter what, Ducks fly together.

And then there was Connie Moreau.

Guy had a long history with Connie. They met a few years ago when they were playing peewee hockey. And when the Ducks were officially formed they practically became best friends right at the start and subconsciously they always had to be next to each other and do everything together. And soon they both developed slight feelings for the other. They even shared a victory kiss after they won their championship game. Guy was hoping that they would move into a relationship but they just remained best friends instead. They were twelve after all; they had plenty of time for relationships later.

When they were thirteen they almost shared another kiss down by the river. Unfortunately, his other teammates came and interrupted them. But Guy wasn't deterred, the two of them still stayed very close and he knew it would only be a matter of time till they got together officially. Connie and Guy already acted like they were in a relationship; to everyone else it was obvious except to them. Then they both were on Team USA, along with most of the original Ducks, for the Junior Goodwill Games. Connie seemed to have taken a slight interest in Mendoza when they first met and everything seemed to go downhill from there.

They were still close during the Junior Goodwill Games but after they won they started drifting. When they were fourteen and entering high school, the Ducks were all awarded athletic and academic scholarships to Eden Hall Academy and that's when everything really changed. Guy was super happy when Connie got over her crush for Mendoza, but was soon devastated when he found out that his mother would be getting a job transfer right after the hockey season was up and that they would move to the west coast. Connie was the first person he told, soon after his other three best friends knew. The other Ducks didn't find out till much later.

Connie acted strangely after the news. The two of them, once as close as the Bash Brothers (maybe even closer), were starting to part ways. Their teammates noticed a slight change between the two after a few practices. Normally, both of them would have each other's backs and worked as a great tag team but Connie started to play further away from him. To any outsider there was no change, they still played the same and had the same positions but the Ducks could see that the dynamic had changed.

But they never questioned it. At the time it seemed so small that no one suspected anything might be wrong with the friendship between Guy and Connie. But then the two stopped walking together, stopped sitting together in the locker room after games for team meetings, stopped sharing inside jokes, stopped acting like best friends. The tight bond they shared was dissolving right before everyone's eyes as the year went on at Eden Hall Academy. It was all very subtle but the Ducks knew something was way off.

Before anyone knew it, Guy had to leave to go to Seattle. He managed to keep in touch with almost everyone in the two years he'd been gone. Everyone except for Connie. Maybe that was why she started to pull away in the last few months he was in Minnesota, so that when he was gone the pain of losing a best friend wouldn't be so bad. But now the two hardly talk to each other and that was even worse.

So it was safe to say that Guy was most anxious about seeing Connie again.


Guy shifted nervously in his seat. He and his mom just landed in Minneapolis and Guy was antsy to get off the crowded plane. Charlie, Dwayne and Ken all promised to meet him at the airport and he wanted to go and see his friends again.

"Stop moving, Guy." His mom placed a hand on his shoulder to make him stop his movements. "You're making me anxious just watching you." His mom had short blond hair with a few stray gray streaks and blue eyes, the same blue as his eyes. Wrinkles started forming around her eyes but she didn't quite look her age with her young-at-heart nature.

"Sorry, I can't help it." His eyes were staring out the rain streaked round window. They were almost at a terminal where they could get off the plane.

As soon as the plane came to a stop and the 'fasten seatbelt' sign was turned off, Guy jumped out of his seat and quickly grabbed his carry on from above the seat. He also grabbed his mom's carry on bag and handed it to her. She wore an amused expression at his eagerness to be the first off the plane.

"Come on, mom!" Guy urged his mom to move faster. She rolled her eyes and shook her head but hurried up nonetheless.

The pair walked through the airport, dodging and weaving in between people, looking for where they could collect their baggage. Finally they saw a big sign that directed them on where to go and they spotted the moving conveyor belt that started spitting out the first of the bags on their plane. Guy and his mom stood near the back, waiting to for when their hideous shade of bright orange luggage came. Both of them hated the color but it was easy to keep track off in a crowded airport and they knew no one would want to steal it.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Guy spotted the two large orange suitcases and walked over the conveyor belt to grab them. He was suddenly grateful for playing so much hockey and working out 'cause the two suitcases were bulging and filled to the max and heavy. He wasn't a small scrawny kid anymore; he now had well defined muscles and was tall at around six foot. He was still skinny but he was also lean and muscular. Guy grabbed the first suitcase and lifted it up and placed it on the floor next to him. As he was about to reach for the second one and hand shot out grabbed it before he could.

He was about to yell and protest when a voice drawled out, "Need a hand, Partner?"

In front of him was guy about two inches taller than him. He had short brown hair, big ears and brown eyes and sported a fancy looking belt buckle and a plaid shirt tucked into his faded blue jeans. He also had a pair of cowboy boots hided under his jeans and a black cowboy hat that Guy could've spotted anywhere.

"Dwayne?" Guy was a bit shocked. He also filled out a big more in the two years that he last saw him.

"Howdy! Man, I missed you!" Dwayne set down the ugly orange suitcase and gave Guy a big bear hug.

"Me too! Are the other guys here too?" He asked and looked around. He didn't need to look far though. Guy could see Charlie and Ken talking with his mom.

"Come on! Let's walk over there." Dwayne grabbed one suitcase and began making his way into the crowd to where his friends were. Ever the polite person that he was. Guy shook his head and picked up the other suitcase and followed him.

Ken was the first to spot him. He kept his black hair short and didn't grow much unlike Dwayne, Charlie and himself. He was still only five foot six inches. But what he lacked in height he made up for in muscle, he was much bigger than the other boys. Charlie was the same height and size as Guy. His hair curly brown hair much resembled his shaggy blonde hair except that Charlie's was a big longer and hung in front of his eyes. Ken and Charlie both had on identical grin's as the two boys approached.

"Germaine!" Charlie called out and gave him a hug.

"Conway, hey!" He greeted than turned to the shorter boy, "Kenny! What's going on, Small Fry?" He ruffled his hair which Ken swatted at his hand.

"Hey! Stop that, Germaine!" He playfully punched him a few times in the side before giving him a quick hug.

"How are the other Ducks?" Guy asked.

"Basically the same as they always have been." Charlie shrugged. "They are excited to see you though! Oh, we are having a team practice tomorrow by the way."

"Tomorrow? Already? Summer is ending in like a week. The season doesn't even start for another few weeks." Guy said.

"It's our senior year so we have to go out with a bang!" Ken said excitedly. He even jumped and threw his fist in the air.

"'Sides, ya'll haven't played with the rest of the Ducks for two years. We might need a bit of time adjusting, ya know?" Dwayne said in his deep accented voice. He smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck.

Guy sighed and shrugged, "Yeah, I guess that's true."

"Come on, boys. Let's get out of this crowded airport." His mom gestured for them to follow her. "We don't have all day to just stand here. Dwayne, honey, could you bring that suitcase to the cab?" She smiled sweetly at him but it wasn't really a question, it was more of an order.

"Yes, ma'am!" Dwayne picked up the orange suitcase and followed her out the door. Guy laughed at seeing his expression and picked up the other large suitcase. Charlie and Ken chuckled and trailed behind him.

It felt good to be home.


Guy woke up with a start at the sound of his alarm clock. He sat up fast then groaned when he saw the time. Seven a.m. Are you kidding me? He thought. But then he remembered that he had set the alarm to get up so he could practice with the Ducks and play a little scrimmage. He perked up a little at the thought of seeing everyone.

Guy threw off the covers and stretched as he stood up. He scratched his head and ruffled his hair before walking down the stairs to the kitchen. Yawning loudly, Guy grabbed a cereal box and a bowl before taking the milk carton out of the fridge. He pour his cereal then the milk and put the milk back. He grabbed a spoon and closed the drawer with his hip as he took a bit. Yawning again, Guy walked to the dining room table. Man, did he have some serious jet lag. But that was to be expected since Seattle was a whole different time zone. He only was able to get a couple hours sleep before his alarm clock rudely woke him up.

His mom must've been still sleeping since the house was so quiet and there was no coffee brewing. Good, she needed her sleep. She looked far too tired these days. Guy vaguely wondered if something was wrong but figured it must've not been anything serious. She looked perfectly healthy - well minus the bags under her eyes.

Guy stood from the table and rinsed his bowl in the sink then dashed up the stairs back to his room. He quickly changed and searched the boxes in his room for his hockey gear. It took him a while but he eventually found all his gear in three separate boxes. Now all he was missing was his roller skates. Where did he put them? Guy had no idea. If there was one thing he hated about moving, it was the fact that he couldn't find anything and that there were so many boxes to search through. On the fifth box he found them and grinned widely.

Grabbing his bag full of his hockey gear and grabbing his skates he raced back down the stairs. He stopped by the front door and quickly left a note to his mom that he was out with the Ducks so she wouldn't worry. Guy walked out the door then sat on the porch to put his skates on. His hands were shaking slightly with the pent up excitement at seeing everyone again. As soon as his skates were laced up he skated down the street at full speed. Releasing some of his excitement, he howled into the early morning, not caring that he might be waking up some of his neighbors.


So, that was chapter one! Hope you're interested in more! Definitely going to get better, promise!
