Summary: Coach Bombay knew that he would be seeing Stansson again and true enough, four years later, Team U.S.A. and Team Iceland meet on the ice once more. Some would call it a rematch, others would say revenge, and the rest just want to defend their title. Of course, what's a story without humor, drama and… what's this…romance?

Expecting the Unexpected

Chapter 2: The News and A Surprise Call

In front of the diner

Bombay stood with his hands on his hips, turning his head this way and that, looking for any sign of his old team. Well, he shouldn't really be worried. He knew that they would be here, but he was getting a little nervous about how he was going to tell them of the upcoming "battle," as he liked to call it.

"QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK!" And here they came in all their ducky glory. Quacking like no tomorrow, skating around objects and people alike. A chorus of "Hey Coach!" greeted Bombay's ears as the Ducks surrounded him.

"Hey Ducks. It's so good to see you again Hope you guys have been keeping up with your hockey," Bombay said. He knew they were playing at Eden Hall, but hoped that they were not slacking in the off-season.

Averman piped up, saying "Coach, don't worry about us. We've had our fill of hockey at that prep infested---I mean Eden Hall. And before you say anything, we have been playing a bit this summer."

"Right. So can you please tell us what is going on since we're all clueless?" asked Connie, looking at her coach expectantly.

"Alright, but let's go somewhere else since what I'm about to tell you will require you guys sitting down." Bombay said in response as he started walking away. He missed the concerned looks the teens gave each other before they followed him.

"Okay team," started Bombay, "You guys remember Don Tibbles right? The guy that sponsored us during the Goodwill Games?" The team nodded. "Well, he called me up the other night and told me that Stansson wanted a rematch. So, the officials from the tournament set up another match between us and Iceland." He said all of this slowly to make sure the entire group understood what he was saying. He watched as shock crossed each of the member's faces.

Fulton was the first to speak. "So what you're saying," he paused, "You're saying that we have to go up against Team Iceland again?"

"Oh nice try Coach," joked Goldberg, "Way to psych us out." He continued laughing until he noticed that he was the only.

"Gold, I don't think Coach is joking at all," Guy said, looking at the serious face his coach was making.

"No, I'm not," confirmed Bombay, "Look guys, I don't know what else to say to you except that it's in stone. Stansson wants a rematch and we are in no position to say no."

"What do you mean we can't say no?!" exclaimed Jesse, "What? Did those morons in suits say that we had to play against them. We won! It's done and over it. Stansson should just accept that and move on!" The rest of the team voiced their agreement. Bombay sighed. He knew they wouldn't take the news too well.


Somewhere in Iceland

She just entered her apartment when her phone started ringing. "Halló?" she answered. "Maria. Call the team. We have training to do," was the response she heard. She sighed, waited for the dial tone then started the process of calling all the members of Team Iceland.

Wolf Stansson stood on his balcony overlooking the ocean. His mouth twisted in a smile. 'Four years,' he thought. Four long years and he will finally get his revenge. He knew Bombay wasn't stupid. He knew that sending in the other goalie may present a problem in winning the Championship. Still, he expected the star player of Iceland to cement the fourth goal. But oh was he so wrong. He watched as the goalie threw the puck into the air and watched it fall to the ice. He heard the deafening screams of fans that were not Iceland's.

"But that was then," he said to himself, "This time, I will make sure you lose. Bombay, you will be on your knees."
