Author's Note: Hi all! So, finally going to college in the shit pit of a city I go to college in has paid off. There was a mondo snow storm and I got two days of classes cancelled. Yay for me! Anyway, snow makes life wonderful, and that's why I managed to get a chapter up today. Also, I realized that due to my into-ness with the couples, I sort of left everyone else behind, so they get to actually be in this chapter! Oh, and also good job Pylea, you picked up on the in jokes.

Chapter 11: Offers and Answers

The next day Charlie, Adam, Fulton and Dwayne decided to visit the Wide World of Sports Complex. As Charlie had put it, they couldn't complete ignore that jocks inside of them. As they were taking the tour they were stopped by man in a blazer.

"I'm sorry, don't I know you boys?" He said looking at them.

"Uh," Fulton stammered, "I don't know, we're not from around here so, I couldn't say."

"No," Charlie said, suddenly realizing, "you might recognize us, we're The Ducks, we won the Junior Goodwill Games Hockey tournament 5 years ago."

"I knew it." He said, "Hi, I'm the coordinator of World of sports."

"Hi," Charlie said, shaking his hand. He was wary of sport suit types ever since the Goodwill Games and the changes in Bombay. It had actually caused a problem with some college scouts this past season.

"Look, we just had someone pull out of this promotional autograph signing thing, it's tomorrow and I've made a few calls but I couldn't get anyone to come fill in." The suit said, "when I saw you, I was hoping that maybe you could."

"Autograph signing?" Fulton said quietly.

"Who would want out autographs?" Adam asked. But then he looked around and noticed people noticing them.

"Uh," Charlie said looking at the other guys.

"It's up to you Charlie," Dwayne shrugged, "you're the captain."

"It would totally freak Julie out," Fulton said, "Because an autograph signing is definitely not on the schedule."

"I don't think anything would freak Julie out anymore." Adam pointed out, "I mean, sucking face with Portman isn't anywhere on the schedule, but it doesn't stop her from doing it."

"I'd feel weird committing to it without checking with the rest of the team," Charlie said.

"Well," the suit said, handing him a business card, "When you decide give me a call."

"Great thanks." Charlie said. "You know, we haven't had a taste of the good life since then."

"You have an excellent point Charlie," Fulton nodded.


"So how was the date?" Connie asked as Julie tried a pair of sunglasses on. They were shopping at West Side Downtown Disney.

"Fun," she said. "I just wonder what's going to happen. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like him, but well,"

"Julie," Connie said, "just because you went out on a date with him and you two have been making out non stop for three days does not mean that he expects you to have sex with him."

"How do you know?" Julie said, "I mean, I've kissed Portman more in the past three days than I did in the whole month with Scooter and he still expected me to have sex with him."

"Yes, but Scooter was a jerk." Connie pointed out. "And you're older now. Maybe if you thought about it,"

"Connie," Julie said, "stop. I just want to wait until it feels right. It's not like you and Guy. I don't know that he's the one. I don't mind waiting."

"You should talk to him about it," Connie said, Julie gave her a glare, "And that's all I'm going to say, for now."

"Thank you," Julie said, "Now what do you think of these?" Julie put a pair of big framed glasses and pushed them down.

"Those would look better on me," Connie grabbed them. "Come on, let's go." The two girls walked out giggling. As they walked out they saw Guy and Portman waiting for them.

"I thought you were going to Wide World of Sports," Connie said, "what are you doing here?"

"Funny," Guy said walking over to her, "I was thinking your response would be more along the lines of 'Hello wonderful boyfriend who rocked my world so intensely last night.'"

"Guy," She giggled embarrassed, walking up and kissing him.

"I don't hear it," He said pulling away.

"You rocked my world intensely last night." She said quickly, "Now answer my question."

"It was my idea," Portman said, "I thought it would be nice to surprise you. And we did not need to know about the world rocking."

"Very much did not need to know," Julie agreed, he changed his plans for her, to see her. Pressure, pressure, pressure. He walked up and kissed her hello.

"You OK?" He asked.

"Yeah," She smiled, "I mean I think I might lose my lunch over those two," she looked over and Connie and Guy who were now in full lip lock, "but I'm fine. So, we were going to head over to," she winced as she realized what she was about to say, "Virgin, you know the uh, record store. Um, so I guess we should go."

"Did I freak you out again?" He asked.

"No," She shook her head, "no, it's not you. I'm the one who really freaks me out. Look there's stuff I need to talk to you about." They walked away from the happy couple.

"This doesn't sound good for me." He said. "Talking is usually a bad sign."

"It's not bad," she said, "I promise. It's just I have all these hangups."

"Hangups?" He repeated. "About us?"

"No," she said, "not about us, specifically, just about boys and relationships in general."

"Right," he said, still confused.

"Do you want to have sex with me?" She finally just spit it out. He looked at her dumbfounded.

"Like, right now?" He said. "I'm sorry. Is this a trick question?"

"No," she said, "be honest."

"I wouldn't be opposed to it?" He said unsure that this was the right way to go. He smiled. "I mean I like you, but we've only been togetherish for what three days?" She smiled. "Did I say the right thing?" She laughed.

"I'm sorry," she said, breathing out and releasing. "It's just, Scooter wanted me to, and I wasn't ready and then he broke up with me, and so now,"

"You think that if you didn't want to," he said putting it together, "that I wouldn't want to be with you."

"Right," she said. He slid his arm around her slowly.

"Julie," he said, "I like you, a lot, and you're gorgeous, and yes someday if you want to, I would love to have sex with you. Now that that's out of the way, can we go back to having fun?"

"Yes," she laughed and kissed him. "And I'm sorry I freaked out."

"It's cool," he said, "now come on. We'll go to Vi- uh the record store."


That night back at the hotel, while they were hanging out once again in the girls room, Charlie stood up.

"Guys," He said, "I have a really cool announcement. So today at Wide World of Sports the coordinator asked if we wanted to do an autograph signing."

"Who'd want our autographs?" Connie laughed.

"Apparently people do," Adam shrugged.

"We are international champions." Russ pointed out.

"It could be fun." Portman said, "Can it fit into the schedule," he poked Julie in the ribs.

"The schedule pretty much went down the toilet," Julie said, "I think it'll be fun."

"Well Captain," Guy laughed, "it's ultimately your call."

"I'm all for it." Charlie said. "I'm going to go call the suit."

"I can't believe we're going to sign autographs." Connie laughed. "I mean, seriously, us?"
