Lynn's knees felt weak and she shivered with cold. Adam put an arm around her to try and warm her up a bit. "So what do ya say? Come back and have a cup of hot chocolate with me, a cappuccino even!" Lynn's smile widened. "When do we get Christmas break? I still want to go back to Canada for a bit." Her eyes sparkled," I'll bring the Ducks! ROAD TRIP! ALRIGHT!" Adam laughed at the image of the Ducks all packed into one car. "Sounds like a plan," Adam whispered softly in Lynn's ear. Lynn shivered but it wasn't from the cold.
The defense grinned wildly and grabbed Adam's hand and dragged him back to the main hall. They sat down in front of the fire to warm up. Lynn faced the merrily crackling fire, a few stray sparks flying off in all directions, the heat washed over her face and the smell of fresh pine wafted to her nose. Lynn held her hands out in front of her to warm up her numb fingers. Adam just watched her lazily as he leaned against one of the chair, close to the fire.
"Whatcha thinkin about?" Adam asked Lynn, his hands clasped behind his head. Lynn's eyes didn't move from their gaze on the fire.
"Lots of stuff, mostly my friends at home and my puppy," she smiled to herself at the thought of her lovable little bugle prancing proudly through the front door with a stick in her mouth," and my family," she eyes glazed a little as she strolled through memory lane, "with my friends Vic and Tar, would have a movie night every weekend and just fool around. One time we were watching some movie, I forget now and Tar wouldn't sit still, but we gave her duck tape to play with and then she sat still for like two hours straight. We still tease her about that." Adam chuckled and then yawned. "Why don't we go find the guys, Lynn?" As she sucked in a deep breath of air, Lynn stood up. She straightened her sweater, and exhaled to calm herself and to give herself a little more resolve.
"Alright."

* Charlie had calmed down now and was lying on his back throwing a ball at the wall then catching it. All of the Ducks were gathered in the one room (which was a tight fit) and there was the usual chatter but it was slightly subdued. Portman and Fulton were searching for some music to put on like Metallica or Nirvana. Sydney, Connie and Julie were starting a pillow fight. Julie swooped down and smartly smacked Portman in the head then moved on to her next victim, Goldburg. This of course started major havoc. Soon the whole room was filled with feathers and Ducks screaming and yelling and laughing. When there was a knock at the door. One might think the room went silent. but it didn't, since no one heard the knock over the commotion.
Adam opened the door, and walked in. Then and only then did the Ducks, one by one, stop their game.
"Hey man," Guy said, putting a hand on his shoulder when Lynn entered. Her demeanor even shyer then it was on the first day. Her hands were clasped in front of her, her head slightly hung. She looked like a child, just after they had been caught playing with juice on Mummy's new carpet.
"Hi," Lynn mumbled quietly. All at once the girls of the team hugged Lynn who was soon followed by Dwayne, who held her for a long time. Adam's eyes darkened a little with jealousy but he quashed those feelings and smiled at the Ducks.
"Who's up for a Road Trip this Christmas break?" Lynn grinned as Dwayne let go of her.
"What kinda road trip?" his Texan accent came down heavily upon his words.
"I was thinking some where north," Lynn said with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes.
