Title: Always There

Author: Dana

Rating: PG

Warnings: Um can't say or it'll spoil the fic. Summary should tell you something about it.

Summary: There's an accident that changes the Ducks forever

Disclaimer: Don't own The Mighty Ducks. Disney does.

Author's note: This is based somewhat on a series of books by Cheri Bennett. I'd tell you which series but it would spoil the fic. I'll tell you at the end of chapter 2. I'll have to do some research if I'm going to use the characters from that series of books...I'll probably just use one of them.

Time frame: After D3. Had to include my other fave in this fic and it's the only time frame that seemed to work. They are still Freshmen. Though Jesse's on the team. He's my fave. What's a fic without Jesse and Adam anyway?

Prologue: The Accident

The Eden Hall Junior Varsity Ducks were on their back to Eden Hall after a game that they won. It was raining hard. The mood was joyous and everyone was laughing and talking. No one paid attention to the storm.

Adam and Jesse were sitting in a seat next to the emergency exit door. "Glad you're here?" Adam asked Jesse.

"Definitely. I'm glad I decided to sign." Jesse said. He had come back to Eden Hall a week ago after finally deciding to sign the contract. This had been his first game on the Eden Hall team.

There was a loud crack of thunder and Dwayne jumped. Russ laughed at him from his spot next to him. "What's the matter Cowboy? Afraid of storms?"

"Course not. Texas has a lot of storms and tornado's. It was just loud." Dwayne retorted back.

There was a bright flash of lightning and the bus swerved. Adam could hear someone screaming as the bus slid off the road and started to flip. He could hear someone else screaming as the emergency door came open and he fell out. Jesse fell out right behind him. As he hit the tree he realized who had been screaming. The bus came closer. He stopped when everything finally turned black.

Yeah it was short. Look for chapter 1 soon. Then I'll tell you what series of books it's based on. Probably not the most realistic car accident but the road was really slippery okay?
