A different story

Standard Disclaimer: The Ducks don't belong to me they belong to Disney and I don't earn money with this.

AN: This is a SLIGHT AU. The Prolog is set after D:2, the rest is set during and more or less after D:3. Maybe it is partly rewritten. There isn't much left to say, except for the fact, that English is not my first language so please don't mind and please, pretty, pretty, pretty please r&r. Oh and by the way, this is a Julie/Portman fic. And it probably will be dark in the end. But I think a bit humorous too.

Prolog:

"I can't Jules, I can't!"

"Why not?" Julie Gaffney asked exasperate. "We both know we've got feelings for each other. Pretty strong ones to be exactly. So why can't we give it a go and try to make it work?" Julie was confused. Very much to be true. First of all she never could have imagined Dean Portman to say ´no` to a woman and secondly just a minute ago he had confessed that he fell for her. "But you said.. ..!"

"I know what I said. And I mean every word of it, but it'll never work out. I know it was a mistake. I should have never told you but you mean too much to me. And that's the reason why it can't work out." It hurt him to see the desperate look in her face. He needed to give her a reason. A reason why and one to let her know that it wasn't her fault. "Julie, I love you. I love you very much. I love you more that anything on this planet. But I.. .. my life .. .. my whole way of living .. .. my existence .. .. everything were I am concerned, except for the Ducks, is just so fucked up. It is a whole lot of mess. I .. Julie, I'm involved in something that is .." he was searching for the right words. " .. not good. Quite the opposite and it would be irresponsible and definitely unfair from me to get you involved. You have to believe me that I would never do anything to intentionally hurt you. So I have to say no to US cause I know if we would give it a go I would hurt you in the end. Cause those bad things in my existence are coming after me and one day they will catch up with me and then all hell will break lose. But anyways I know that I already hurt you by telling you and that is the mistake I was talking about, not you or my feelings towards you."

Julie could understand in parts what he tried to tell her. "Dean whatever it is that makes you rethinking your feelings won't be that bad if we're together. We can fight this. We can fight anything when we're together, I sure of that!"

"Not this Julie. This is big. Really BIG. .. .. No I can't involve you in this. No, no, no. I am bad, but not ´that` bad! I.. But maybe if we .. .. she always said love beats everything bad in this world. Maybe I .. ..!" He couldn't finish his sentence, cause suddenly he was interrupted by .. ..
