Notes: Half of this is from Jesse and Adam's view the other half is from
the other Duck's view. I'm also happy. I just saw the X-File trailer and
I saw my favorite rat boy!!!!!!!!!!!! Considering what this chapter is
about the mood might not be appropriate.
The First Day Back
Jesse and Adam found themselves one row back and several seats over from the ducks. Varsity was next to them. But they could hear the Ducks talking. Adam looked over at Charlie who was slumped down in his seat. Guy was talking to him quietly. Fulton saw Adam staring at Charlie and glared. He turned his attention back to the dean.
"A tragedy has befallen Eden Hall." Dean Buckley said. "I know many of you have been deeply effected by it. I can not even begin to tell the Hall's and Banks's how sorry we truly are." Adam looked closer at the stage and saw his parents on the stage along with Jesse's and their siblings. He nudged Jesse who also saw them.
The Dean continued. "We have decided to retire the jerseys 9 and 99 in memory of Jesse Hall and Adam Banks. Coach Orion would like to say a few words."
"Jesse Hall may have been only been at Eden Hall a week but he was a part of the team. He was a good player. Adam Banks wasn't on JV at the beginning of the season. But when he was put back on JV, he shined the most. Both were good players and good people." Orion said.
"Is this weird or what?" Jesse whispered to Adam very quietly. Adam nodded. It was their first day back on Earth and they were watching their own memorial service. They started to listen to a few people speak. Then Charlie got up and made his way up to the podium.
Jesse could have sworn he heard Riley say to Cole, "This should be interesting." Portman turned around and glared at them. They shut up.
Charlie looked out at everyone in the auditorium and nervously cleared his throat. He turned and looked at the Banks' and the Hall's before starting. "I've known Jesse and Adam for a long time. I considered both of them my best friends. They were there for me when I needed them and vice versa. It…it…" Charlie couldn't finish. His girlfriend Linda Chavez went onto the stage. The other Ducks were right behind her.
Jesse and Adam exchanged looks. A few more people spoke before they were dismissed for classes.

In music later that day, Miss Delaney was absent so they had a substitute. The substitute didn't know a thing about music and let them have a free period. Adam sat in his desk writing something. It seemed that Stan wrote songs. Something Adam had never thought of doing. He could hear the Ducks well. Jesse wasn't in this class.
The Ducks were gathered in a group talking quietly. "I can't believe they are having tryouts after school." Portman said.
"I know." Julie said glancing down at her arm in a sling. Her arm had been broken in the crash. "It hasn't even been a week."
"According to Orion he's been pressured by the board to fill those spots." Charlie said quietly.
"It was okay at the beginning of the year why is it different now?" Guy asked.
"We should fight it." Goldberg said.
"Yeah. They can't just replace Jesse and Banks." Fulton agreed. "Whoever takes the spots won't get any welcome from me."
The others agreed. Charlie lapsed back into silence. He didn't notice Adam, or rather Stan, staring at him.
"What's up with that Stan guy?" Connie whispered staring at Adam. Adam noticed them staring back and quickly went back to writing. "He's been staring at us since this morning."
"I heard he and his roommate Winston Patrick are trying out." Guy said. "So that's probably it."
The conversation continued. Charlie looked at the clock wishing the class would end soon. He didn't really feel like talking about the tryouts this afternoon. He was surprised that Orion went along with the board. He had thought he understood Orion. He knew he was wrong.
