This is my first try at published fanfiction so please, bear with me.
Ok I don't own anything Mighty Ducky. I claim the names of Adam's brothers and his mother though.
Chapter One
Not for the first time an argument had broke out in the Banks' household between Philip and Sarah. Not for the first time, it was about their middle son, Adam and his hockey career.
"Philip, he hasn't had a break in nine years. Ever since he was six years old, you've been running him ragged. You've taken all the fun out of it for him. Just like with Alex and Kyle. I'm not so sure I want Jake and Jack to play. I'm sick and..."
"And I'm sick of arguing about this. Adam is good because of all the work I've put into this."
Up in his room, 15 year old Adam Banks lay on his bed, reading a book. The fight downstairs had become common since as long as he could remember. At first they were about his then 6, now 19, year old brother Alex and soon after, Kyle's name came up. Eventually, all three Banks sons were the subject of much discord in the house. After Alex and Kyle both quit hockey, Adam's name was the one being thrown around.
Adam sighed and shut his book. Deep in his heart, he agreed with his mother. He was sick to death of practice after practice, game after game. If he wasn't practicing with the Ducks, he was home practicing with his father. When the school hockey season was over, he played for another league. Adam lived and breathed hockey, all the whim of his father.
There was a faint knock at the door. Adam opened it and looked down to see his little brothers, Jack and Jake standing there. The twins were six and were just a few weeks away from becoming the next of the Banks clan to play hockey.
"What's up guys?"
Jack looked up at his older brother. "Can we come in?" Jack, the more sensitive one of the pair, looked close to tears.
"Course you can, pal." He let the twins in. Of all his brothers, Adam had to admit he loved the twins the most.
Adam had been nine when they had been born. He had resented their appearance. All his life he had struggled to get his fathers attention. Finally at nine, he had it all to himself. His brothers had both quit playing hockey. Their father turned to his youngest. But then the twins came and Adam feared the change that would take place. He'd be in the middle and once again thought he'd be pushed to the side. After they had been born however, Adam couldn't help but love the two babies that slept in the room next to his.
The following year Adam had been forced to switch from the Hawks to the Ducks, thus ending the Banks dynasty as the star player of the Hawks.
Adam's thoughts were interrupted by Jack. "Adam, tell us about how you left the Hawks again."
Adam sighed. The event was still fresh in his mind, even after five years. "Sure kid."
Jack and Jake crawled onto his bed and sat on either side of him.
"Well, I was on the Hawks. We were the best. We were warming up one day when the coach called me over. My father, Coach Bombay, and an official from the Peewee Hockey Committee were also there. I come to find out I have to play for the Ducks. The district lines had been redrawn."
"And you were upset," chimed in Jack
"Daddy said you'd rather not play," added Jake.
Adam chuckled. They knew the story better then he did it seemed. "Yeah, I know that doesn't sound like Dad but he hated the Ducks. I still wanted to play. So, I told Dad I just wanted to play hockey. He finally caved."
"And you went on to the championships against the Hawks," Jack continued.
"And the Ducks won, but only after you got pushed in the goal," said Jake. "Right?"
"You guys got it. I think you should start telling that story."
"No, you tell it better. I like that story. It's like something out of a movie." Jack said.
"I wish Mommy and Daddy would stop fighting," said Jake, changing the mood. His twin brother nodded in affirmation.
"Yeah, so do I." Adam sat on the bed and pulled the twins into his lap. The three youngest Banks kids sat in silence while their parents argued below.
