A/N: raccoonsinmybasement - My very first reviewer thankyou ever so much. Guy is definately my favourite character so that's why I've chosen him as my central character and there can never be enough Guy stories.
Fluffyreigns - Again thankyou very much for your review, I agree I really wish he got more screentime in the movies. I guess that's where fanfiction comes in hehe.
Disclaimer: I own Charlotte and Pierre and the non-movie characters that will appear throughout the story, other than that I own nothing.
So on with the next chapter...
Chapter 2: The Game
The next day Guy felt as if he was back to normal.
That feeling however wasn't going to last long.
It was Friday; game day, the first home game of the season and to top it off the Ducks were playing the Blake Bears. Since that infamous game last year they had built up a strong rivalry and their games were always hard fought, not that the Ducks needed any more incentive to play well.
The locker rooms were a buzz with excitement and nerves as each member of the team busied themselves in their pre-game preparations. Some preferring to zone out to music, others were talking strategy, or in the case of Lester Averman and Greg Goldberg planning their next big prank on their unsuspecting teammates.
Guy was currently chatting with Connie, the two reminiscing over old childhood memories, Guy however wasn't particularly listening. Over the past few hours he had really begun to feel unwell, the tiredness that had been affecting him seemed more severe than before and to make matters worse his head was aching. Maybe his father was right; he was coming down with something.
His far off expression however had not gone unnoticed by Connie, who was now watching him with a concerned expression on her face. "Guy."
Guy snapped back into reality, realising he had been staring off into space. "Sorry."
"Wow you were miles away, is everything alright?"
"Yeah everything's fine, I guess I'm just hoping to have a good game in front of the parents," he lied.
Connie smiled at him. "You've got nothing to worry about."
Just then the locker room door banged open, Orion striding in. "Alright team we ready to go."
"Yes," the team chorused in unison.
"Well then let's go kick some Blake butt!"
The Ducks rose to their feet filing out of the locker room door behind Orion and making their way to the ice.
Charlotte and Pierre made their way up to their places in the stands, anxiously waiting for the teams to skate out on the ice.
Just then the crowd started to boo, indicating the Blake Team were making their way out onto the ice.
Sitting next to the Germaine's were an older couple in matching Ducks Jerseys and baseball caps, obviously big hockey fans. The woman looked over at them "So who do you guys support."
"The Ducks of course," Charlotte answered
"I don't think our son would forgive us if we didn't," Pierre added.
"Is your son a big ducks fan as well?"
"Um, no, well yes, but-" Charlotte had to chuckle a bit. "Our son plays for the ducks." She had to boast a little.
"Your son plays for the ducks, who's your son?" asked the man now very interested.
"Guy Germaine."
"Really, your son's quite a good young player definitely got a future ahead of him."
"Thankyou, he'll be happy to hear that."
"You must be proud."
"We are, thankyou," Charlotte replied, although slightly unnerved that they seemed to know a lot about her son. She turned to her husband and whispered "Are you sure there aren't any other seats around?"
Pierre couldn't suppress his laugh.
Just then the crowd erupted into cheers, indicating the Ducks were making their way out.
Guy heard the crowd start to cheer and he knew this was go time. Any thought of feeling tired had to be pushed right out of his mind, he just had to suck it up and play the game, although he really didn't feel right. He took a deep breath and skated out onto the ice with the rest of his teammates.
As he circled the ice he glanced up into the stands hoping to catch sight of his parents. Out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw his father and sure enough on a second look he saw his parents and gave a small wave, his parents returning it.
After the obligatory team huddle and chant; which was performed with great gusto by the Ducks and crowd alike, the game was ready to begin.
The starters made their way out to their positions ready for the opening face off. Guy was actually glad for once he wasn't starting instead taking his spot on the bench between Connie and Goldberg.
The puck was dropped and the game had begun. The Blake Bears were hitting hard, but the Ducks were giving it back just as well.
"Alright, line change." Orion made the call.
Guy inhaled sharply and hopped the boards. No sooner had he stepped onto the ice he was checked by a Blake Defender.
'Shit' was what first came to mind as he hauled himself to his feet and shook himself off, his head spinning.
"You alright Germaine," Portman asked as he skated up to him.
"I'm fine" Guy replied quickly skating hard after the puck, desperately trying to clear his head.
There was five minutes left in the first period, the score was still 0-0. Guy was skating down the right wing side, when Adam Banks made a break away but still not in a position to have a clear shot at goal. Before he knew it he had the puck with a clear shot.
He shoots.
He scores.
Ducks 1-0.
The crowd erupted. Guy was immediately surrounded by his teammates who couldn't contain their excitement congratulating him on his goal.
Once the commotion died down, Guy looked up towards the stands; his parents were on their feet clapping and cheering and for a brief moment was able to forget how tired he felt. To be able to score a goal in front of them made it all worth while.
The second period started out just like the first, the Blake Team was hitting hard and with Guy being the only goal scorer to date, was tending to take the brunt of it.
No matter how hard he tried not to think about it the tiredness was becoming too much, and he was starting to struggle. His head was throbbing and he was becoming very out of breath.
All of a sudden he heard one of his teammates cry out for him to get out of the way. But was too late, he was converged on by two defenders and struck into the boards.
Guy tried to get up, but he couldn't. He heard people surrounding him and talking to him, but was unable to make out who they were or what they were saying. Finally his body gave out and he fell into unconsciousness.
To Be Continued…
A/N: The story should start getting a little bit more serious now, not sure whether I like this chapter as much as the first but please review and let me know what you think.
