*****First of all, I'd like to thank those who reviewed my story. This is my first Mighty Ducks fic, so I'm trying to make it good. To Dana: These characters aren't modeled after me, I just have a lack of creativity when it comes to names, so I always name my characters after people I know. I'm nothing like this character at all. Also, I know Bombay didn't coach the Ducks at Eden Hall... this story takes place during their senior year and in the story I said that a year ago Coach Bombay had become the coach because the school thought the Ducks performed better with him... that would make it their Junior year which is fair game because they were freshmen in the movie :) Hope that clears everything up... *****

When practice was over, the Ducks went to the locker room to get changed and head back to the dorms where they slept.

As the Ducks, Gordon, and the twins were heading out the door, Dean reached for Becky's bag.

"Let me carry that for you." He said, smiling wildly.

"I can carry my own bag, thank you!" Becky detested, pulling her bag from his reach and walking away fastly. She followed behind Stacy who was walking with Connie and Julie. "What is with people around here?" She asked herself. "Do I look helpless?"

"He was just trying to be nice." Connie snapped, turning towards Becky.

"AND these people don't know when to mind their business. Keep walking pretty girl." Becky stared straight at Connie who turned around to continue talking.

"She's pretty nice once you get to know her." Stacy said quietly to the other two girls.

"I can tell." Connie replied. Becky stopped for a few seconds, waiting for Gordon to approach. He was talking with the team captain.

"Hey kiddo, what's on your mind?" He asked, using his hand to rub the top of her head. Becky pushed her hair back and looked at Gordon angrily.

"Do I really have to live with these people? Can't I live with you?" She asked.

"I only have one bedroom, and the couch isn't pleasant. Besides, how are you supposed to make friends if you live with me?"

"If the rest of the people around here are anything like the Ducks, I don't think I wanna be their friends anyway." Becky mumbled, kicking a rock that was on the ground in front of her. The rock hit one of the players in the back of the leg. A tall, curly-haired guy with glasses turned around.

"Thanks." He said to Becky. "I needed that." He turned back around.

"What's so wrong with the Ducks?" Charlie asked Becky.

"Who are you and why are you talking to me?" She asked with a cocky intonation in her voice.

"I'm Charlie Conway. The captain of the Ducks." He extended his hand to her. She looked at his hand and began talking.

"You know, there's more to life than hockey. You're like some cult or something and I don't wanna be a part of it. You've already inducted my sister or something." She looked up at Stacy who was now standing next to a strange guy who was wearing a cowboy hat.

"A cult?" Charlie laughed. Gordon joined in on the laughter. "Is that what you think we are?" Becky nodded her head. "Do you like anyone? Or are we an acception?"

"I like people who don't go to Eden Hall. That a good a enough answer?" She asked.

"You're a bitch." Charlie snapped at her.

"Charlie!" Gordon turned to him. "Don't talk to her that way. She's going through some stuff right now."

"I don't care, she doesn't have to take it out on us." Gordon glared at Charlie.

"Fine. Sorry." Charlie mumbled.

"I can stick up for myself!" Becky stormed away to walk by herself. Meanwhile, Stacy was talking to Connie and Julie again.

"What's with that Guy kid?" Stacy asked Connie. "He keeps looking at you Connie." Connie smiled a little.

"We used to go out... for a while. Since like elementary school. But... we broke up."

"Awww... really? Why?" Stacy asked sympathetically.

"Long story. There was a big falling out between us that had been building up for a while."

"Well, do you think you two will ever get back together?"

"Guy wants to. He's asked me a few times. And he keeps asking me to go to the Winter Dance with him at school, but I don't want to. I'm not ready for it. And I don't know if I'll ever feel the same way about him again." They walked inside a big building and Connie led them to a small room.

"This is it." Julie said, pushing the door open. Stacy walked inside and smiled. The walls were covered with posters of Hockey Players and framed pictures and medals. There were two bunkbeds, one on either side of the room. "You and Becky can sleep over there." Julie said, pointing to one of the beds.

"Uncle Gordon." Becky pleaded before entering the room. "Come on... can't I stay with one of the less annoying guys at least? He looks nice." She said with an odd expression on her face, pointing at a tall, big boy who looked more like a man. He had fairly long black hair hidden by a bandana. "Can't be that bad can he?" She asked.

"Fulton? No... he's a good guy. But he shares a room with Dean." Becky sighed. "What about the guy from Philly? He's the goalie right? Can't go wrong with a guy from my hometown."

"Shares a room with Charlie." Gordon smiled.

"Forget it!" Becky threw her arms in the air. "I surrender! Happy? I'll sleep here." She walked into the room and threw her bags down on her bed. "I'm sleeping on the top Stace."

"You girls get settled..." Gordon said from the doorway. "I'll call in a little while and we'll go out to lunch. These guys REALLY need to shower." Charlie shoved Gordon. "See you girls later." He said and walked away with the guys.

"When do classes start?" Stacy asked, unpacking some of her things.

"No classes today. It's staff developement or something. So classes start on Monday." Julie replied.

"Have any plans for this weekend?" Stacy asked.

"We have a lot of practice this weekend. There are some big games coming up. Probably just hanging out between practice. And you're more than welcome to join us."

"I don't have anything better to do." She smiled.
