New Ducks
After the surprise comment from Collin, Morgan decided to get practice started. The squad did twenty laps then practiced perfecting their spins and jumps. The Conways stayed silent through the practice thinking about what Collin had said. If his old name used to me Johnson then it wasn't such a coincidence that he and Drew looked so much alike. Alex watched as Collin and Drew talked quietly as they skated. There was no mistaking it. Drew and Collin where brothers.
"Bring it in squad!" Morgan called as she spotted the Iceland team coming to claim the arena. The squad moved slowly toward the exit but the Icelanders blocked there way.
"I see team USA had to bring along their Cheerleaders. They must have figured out that the crowed needed something interesting to watch." The Iceland couch said with a laugh as his team laughed with him. Morgan stepped up in front of her squad and faced him.
"We are here to perform before the games. Now if you will please just move out of the way."
"What are you going to do about it?" A woman said from the coaches side. "Cheer us out of the way?"
"I'll do a lot more than that!" Alex said stepping forward but was held back by Michael and Brad. The Iceland team laughed at the thought of Alex attempting to beat them up. Alex pushed her way free from the boys and stepped up to face the Iceland coach. She only came up to his shoulders.
"I could take any one of your players on the ice!" Alex threatened. The coach laughed and nodded his head as though to say this chick has nerve.
"You're on mouse. Gunnar teach this cheerleader how to play a real sport!" The Coach said with a smile. A handsome young man stepped forward and headed towards the middle of the arena. Alex held her head high as she grabbed one of the Iceland player's hockey stick and met Gunnar on the ice. They both got down and ready. Michael threw down the puck and the game began. Gunnar reached out to push Alex away but she quickly moved out of his way causing him to trip. Alex took the puck and moved it down toward the goal and made her shot. It was a perfect goal. She turned around to see Gunnar moving down the ice towards her but when he realized she had already made a goal he stopped.
"What your name mouse?" The coach demanded.
"Alex Conway." She replied handing her hockey stick to Gunnar and skating back towards her squad. "And who might you be?"
"Coach Wolf Stansson." He replied as anger flared in his eyes. He turned to Gunnar and yelled at him in Danish. "How could you have let that brat past you!"
"She's better than you think she is." Gunnar answered him back in Danish.
"Now may we leave?" Alex asked Stansson. He looked at his team and nodded. Alex walked past them and ignored the cat calls the Iceland team made at her. She just walked strait into the girls locker room and started to chance her cloths. Her sisters watched her as she changed. They were so proud of her.
"What?" Alex asked getting tired of their stares.
"You were awesome." Sami said with a smile. Alex smiled back at her. Even if they where made at each other they never overlooked their bond of being sisters. The squad left the locker room but stayed around the building. They didn't want to go back to the hotel and they didn't want to go back to the arena so they stayed in the lobby watching all the people leaving and coming in.
"Look at her!" Seth said as a large woman walked past wearing a very large dress. "I could build a tent out of that thing!"
"Seth, be nice!" Misty said playfully pushing him. Seth looked at her and smiled. "A lot of things could happen in a tent that size!"
"If you add any more to that comment I'll make sure you'll never skate again!" Alex said rolling her eyes. Seth held up his hands to show he gave up. Michael smiled at Alex from across the room. She was so different from most of the girls he knew back in his home town. There was something about her that made his heart beat like crazy. He turned his eyes from her the moment she caught him staring but then slowly moved them back. He met Alex's eye and smiled. She gave him a small wink and went back to torturing Seth. No one saw the four boys walk in accompanied by a girl. They walked past the group of cheerleaders and stopped.
"Dibs on the hot girl in the black." One of the boys replied when he spotted Alex. The girl walking with him rolled her eyes. The other boys were checking out the girls as Alex noticed them for the first time. She caught Krissy's eye and moved hers towards the group. The Conway's had their own secret way of communication. Krissy fallowed looked over to where her sister was getting her to look and noticed the group right away. She turned to her sister in surprise. Who are they? She mouthed. Alex shrugged and then saw Tibbles. New Ducks. She replied. The other Conways were watching their sisters and nodded in agreement. They had learned how to read lips from their mother.
"Hey Morgan how is the squad?" Tibbles asked when he spotted her. Morgan rolled her eyes and turned to him with a false smile. "They're the best out there."
"Good!" Tibbles said missing the sarcasm. He looked at the kids that surrounded him and then remembered what he was doing. "This is the new addition to team USA. I have to get them down to the arena to meet the rest of the team."
"The Ducks are coming?" Alex said sitting up. She wanted to see Fulton and Charlie before she left for the hotel.
"Yes they've been here for almost six minutes now." Tibbles said moving the new players along. Alex watched the players go and longed to be with them. She didn't like to play hockey much but playing a little was just the right amount and after beating Gunnar she felt like playing some more.
"Can we go watch?" Alex asked getting up from her chair and walking up to Morgan.
Morgan thought for a moment then shrugged. "I can't see why not."
Alex smiled and raced towards the arena fallowed by the rest of the squad. They took the seats closest to the exit so they could easily slip onto the ice with out being noticed.
Alex watched the new players show off their talents. One of the boys was wearing a cowboy hat and he could maneuver the puck better than any of the Ducks but Alex could tell he was a puck hog by the way he whooped and hollered. She wasn't the only one who noticed. Charlie looked over at her and rolled his eyes.
"Look at that kid!" Danny said pointing to the shortest player who had just landed a triple axle. "He should be on the squad not the hockey team."
"The last thing we need is another boy on the squad." Alex said rolling her eyes. "What we need is a couple more girls."
"No way!" The boys exclaimed together.
"What we don't need is another girl who will most likely end up like them." Michael said pointing at the quadruplets. Alex was surprised to see him sitting on the stairs next to her instead of on one of the seats. She had also noticed his eyes often trailed up and down her body. She didn't mind it as much as she thought she should, but with his looks what girl would tell him to stop. Alex wasn't the only one who saw the attraction in Michael's eyes. Collin and Drew looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
The next new player was extremely fast. He speed around the rink and smashed into the glass right in front of the squad.
"That's what breaks are for." Seth said with a laugh. Sami smacked him across the head as she looked admiring over at the player. Alex had to admit to he was hot. He got up and smiled up at the girls as they all sighed with admiration.
"That guys a pansy." Danny said in disbelieve at the girls reaction.
"You know that's the same thing people say about you." Seth said with a playful lisp. Danny jumped him and it took both Alex and Michael to get him back into his seat.
"Hey Alex its you as a goalie." Sara said pointing to the girl standing in front of the goal. She had a fast glove and was obviously better than Goldberg.
"I hate playing goalie." Alex said shaking her head. The others looked at her and rolled her eyes. "What?"
"You're great at hockey." Michael pointed out. "You kicked that Iceland players ass!"
"Yeah, your right." Alex said with a smile. "You know I do miss…" She trailed off at the sight of the last player. He was wearing a bandana around his head that made his hair fall just above his eyebrows. His clothes were the same style as Fulton's but his shirt had no sleeves showing of his arm muscles. Alex hid a smile as she watched him use his hockey stick as a guitar. She watched him terrorize the Ducks then stop in front of Fulton.
"This isn't going to be good." Alex said slipping past Michael and onto the ice. She skated up to Fulton's side and gracefully stopped beside him. She looked up at the new player and rolled her eyes. "Who do you think you are?"
"Your next date." He said looking Alex up and down. Fulton went for him, but Alex moved in his way. She stood so close to him that they were touching. The guy laughed as he blew Alex off. "Don't worry about it dude. I don't go for sloppy seconds."
With out realizing it Charlie, Adam and Guy were skating toward him ready for the kill. Then Bombay blew the whistle. The team froze and Alex backed away from them ands started back towards her squad.
"Back here Alex!" Bombay ordered. Alex turned back to him and skated back to her spot by Fulton. "Explain why you are here please."
"I came to watch the new players being killed by the rest of the Ducks." Alex said with a simple and sweet smile. Then with a glare at the new team she added. "And being a cheerleader and all I'd say I could beat all of you. I could get the puck away from the cowboy, I could give spinny a work for his money. I could leave speedy in my dust, I kick Smelly's ass any day and the only one I'd have trouble with would be her."
"Your bragging sure isn't getting us anywhere Firefly." Fulton whispered in her ear. Alex smiled but didn't turn towards him. Bombay looked at her sideways then back at Charlie.
"You're on Cheerleader." The new team except for the girl replied. Alex held her head high as she went back to Charlie. She held out her hand and he gave her his stick.
"Lets go." Alex replied tossing her hair out of her face. The Ducks smiled as they went back to sit with the squad. They had heard Charlie brag about his cousin's talents and now they were finally going to be able to see them. Tibbles was going nuts telling Bombay that it was a bad idea to let this madness go on but Bombay set the rules. "Alex will take each one of you on one by one. First will be Dwayne. She had five minutes to take the puck a way from you. Get ready…GO!"
The cowboy started to maneuver the puck away from Alex but there was no need. She was just staying firm in her place. Then she saw her move. When Dwayne passed the puck from his blade to his stick he was he moved his eyes down to watch it closely. Alex made her move and retrieved the puck within two minutes. Dwayne smiled at her and held out her hand. Alex took it proudly.
"Don't go showing people my weakness or I'll be in the cow pin." He said with his Texas accent.
"I won't tell a soul." Alex said with a smile then turned to Bombay. "Who's next?"
"You will race Luis around the rink and whoever hits my hand first wins." He said as the cute player skated up to her side. On Bombay's whistle they were off. Luis lead the way only by three inches for the first lap and when the end came closer Alex picked up her speed. She touched Bombay's hand four seconds before Luis, who crashed into the wall behind Bombay. Alex rolled her eyes and helped him up. "Man you're going to have to learn how to stop."
"That and your number." Luis said with a smile. Alex smiled back at him then pushed him back into the wall.
"Ken you're up next." Bombay said and called them both up to him. "What is the trickiest jump?"
"I'd have to say the Lutz." Ken said with a nod. Then turned to Alex. "What do you think."
"I say I forfeit." Alex said with a laugh. "That was always my weakness."
"Then the Lutz it its." Bombay said in agreement. And blew his whistle. Both of them went at the same time and landed it perfectly. Ken skated up to her with a smile. "I thought you said that was your weakness?"
"It was didn't you see me land three seconds too soon." Alex said as though it was obvious. Ken rolled his eyes and looked at Bombay. "She's all yours."
"You're going up against Dean and Julie next." Bombay said calling them both out onto the ice. "Alex will have five minutes to get the puck away from Dean. If she succeeds then she will go for a goal against Julie. If she does not get the puck away from Dean then she looses against Julie."
The three players nodded and took their places. It didn't take long for Alex to get the puck away from Dean. He had made the same mistake as Gunnar. She speed past him and made her shot against Julie. She held her breath as Julie stood up and revealed the puck in her glove. She had saved it. Alex stopped and smiled at her. "That was an awesome save!"
"That was an awesome trick you played on that looser." Julie said pointing at Dean who was beating his head on his stick. Alex skated up to him and took his stick away from him. "Just because you lost to a girl doesn't mean you suck. It just mean's I'm better."
