Authors note: Hey everyone.. I wanna thank you for the reviews. They were good.. So that's a plus! Anyways, this part is in Julie's POV again. Keep reading, keep reviewing, and enjoy!

Disclaimer: Don't own the Ducks, or Warriors.. I own Max.

Oh my Gosh, Orion is pulling me for this guy to play. He couldn't stop a puck if his life depended on it. Then we skated over to the net where he was.

"Well, Coach… what did you think?" Does he even have the nerve to ask that? Is he aware that he let every puck by him?

"Um, Max… how long have you been playing hockey?" Coach finally decided to ask.

"I just started."

"WHAT?!" Portman screamed so loud. It was kinda funny if you ask me. Leave it to Portman to make the new kid feel uncomfy.

"Ducks, leave the ice now please." Coach Orion seemed pretty mad about Portman making an outburst like that. But we did. We all went into the locker room. So we have no idea what as being said out there. When we got in the locker room I started laughing.

"This is a joke right? I mean you guys just wanted to see if I was gonna go to Varsity right?"

"No, Jules… this is for real." Portman said looking at me, boy he was mad.

"What? Come on, Coach can't pull me for him. It's not fair. That boy can't stop a puck at all. Man, anyone would be better in the net than he is." I was really starting to get mad and the team could tell. Coach walked in the locker room, his eyes were so wide, just like a deer in head lights.

"Okay, that kid can't play."

"What are you gonna do about it Coach?" Charlie always has to be so sarcastic.

"Theres really nothing I can do. I mean I'll go talk to his father, but I can't promise anything."

"Well, if they want us to win, we can't put him in the net. He's worse than Goldberg, when he first started out." Guy said.

"Hey, I resent that."

Everyone let out a little laugh. It's pretty cool how in the worst of times, we can still manage to laugh, at least a little bit.

"Listen up, practice is cancelled today."

"Wait, if he's gonna stay on the team, shouldn't we be practicing?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, it's cancelled for the rest of team, not you. I am going to get Scooter too, this Lumbert needs all the help he can get. Suit up Gaffney."

Great, I have to help me, there's no help for that kid. The rest of the team put their shoes on and started to walk out.

"Hey Julie, don't worry about it, we'll get it straightened out." Charlie sounded so reassuring.

*On the ice*

"Hey Max, I'm Julie." I extended to shake his hand.

"Hi Julie, it's so nice to meet you." Okay this kid sound a little too excited.

"Well, I have a few questions for ya, if you don't mind."

"Shoot." He started to laugh at himself. "No pun intended."

Oh my God, this was gonna be a long day, I can already tell.

"So if you just started to play hockey, do you know the rules?"

"Yes."

"How many shots can you save out of 5?"

"None."

"Then why are you here?" I couldn't help but snap at him. I mean come on, he's taking my spot on the team, and he can't save any goals.

"Because."

"Look, Max… I am two seconds…" Before I could finish Scooter skated out on the ice.

"Hey Gaffney." He smiled pretty big if I do say so myself.

"Hi Scooter." I couldn't smile, I was not in the mood.

"I'm Max." Goooooooooo Awaaaay.. Man I wan't that kid outta here. I am usually not this mean, but this guy is so annoying.

"Yeah, Scooter, he's the new goalie I was telling you about." I squinted my eyes a bit, to show Scooter that I not liking this at all.

"So I understand that you need some help there-a-buddy."

"A little."

Wait a minute.. A little? This boy needs mega help, but I wouldn't dare hurt his feelings like that.

"What's your record?"

Oh know, did Scooter just ask that? He's gonna laugh so hard when he heres the answer.

"I've never played before." Scooter just dropped his stick and looked at me. "Hey Julie, can I see you over there for a minute." He pointed over by the benches.

"Are you telling me Orion put in a rookie and took you out."

"Yep."

"Does he suck?"

"Majorly. I seriously thought it was a joke when I came out here. I mean, I can maybe accept it if he was good and better than me, but he's not."

"Come on, let's see what we can do."

When we turned around we saw this guy sitting in the net with a sucker in his mouth. Geez.. Why me?

"Max." I said and skated over to him. "Give me that." I took the sucker out of his mouth. "Never eat candy on the ice. Never." I repeated. "Stand up." He got out of the net and fell right back down. "You've gotta be kidding me."

"What?" He asked.

"Can you skate?"

"A little." Scooter let out the biggest laugh.

"Why don't you skate to the blue line and back." That's all I could say, before I went off. While Max skated off, Scooter skated in, towards me.

"Scooter… whhhhyyy meeeeee?" I put my head on his shoulder, but as soon as I realized it, I pulled it up just as fast.

"Orion wouldn't even think about putting him in Julie. If he did, I think he would get fired." He laughed again. I looked over to see how Max was doing and he was on the ice, on his but.

I just looked back at Scooter.

"So, what a way to spend your Friday night huh? Trying to teach HIM how to play."

"I don't mind. I have an excuse to see you that way."

Wow.. Scooter wants to see me.

"Julie?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you have a date for the Winter Formal?"

Was he going to ask me what I think he is gonna ask me?

"No… not yet anyways."

"Well, I was wondering…" But before Scooter could finish, we heard.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!" We turned our heads and saw Max hit the boards and flip over them. (By the benches) I was so mad. Scooter was probably going to ask me to the dance and that stupid kid had to fall.

"Come on." Scooter said, and starting skating over there. I followed. Stills shocked that Scooter might ask me.

"Come on, up ya go." Scooter said helping that low life up.

"Look, Max, did you ever thing that hockey wasn't your sport?"

"That's nonsense Scooper."

"The name is Scooter."

"Scooter, I mean. I love Hockey."

"But Max, you can't skate. That's an essential part of playing, don't you think?"

"No, that's why I wanna be the goalie. I don't have to leave the net."

"Yes you do."

I couldn't let them say another thing to each other.

"Hey Max, why don't you go to the locker room, get changed and just leave your skates on. Before you can play hockey, you have to learn how to skate, and feel comfy while doing it."

"Alright, Julie."

He walked back and I just sat on the bench. I took my jersey off to those stupid pads off.

"Looks like I don't need these on. I'm just gonna be skating." Scooter did the same thing. We both took the pads off, and kept everything else on.

"So Julie, about what I was going to ask you earlier."

"Yeah?"

"Do you wanna be my date to the Winter Formal?"

"I'd love to Scooter." I smiled so big, my cheeks started to hurt. Then his face started to get closer to mine.. He kissed me. On the lips this time. Yes!

Well, what did ya think? Let me know please review!! TA
