DISCLAIMER: I am not, in any way, shape, or form associated with the people at Disney, or any of the other people who had anything to do with the creation of the original Mighty Ducks Characters. I don't own them. But I do own any character you see and read in this story that is not originally part of the Mighty Ducks cast. So everything you see here that you don't recognize rightfully belongs to me. I would love to get reviews because getting reviews means getting motviation to keep continuing with this story. Read and let me know what you think. I will check back ofter for reviews, and you may even get a personal email from me.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I didn't expect to have the next chapter up so soon, but here it is. I woke up yesterday morning and realized that I had missed my health class, and told myself that there would be no point at all in going to the college. So I stayed home and spent my time writing the second chapter for this story. I don't know what to make of it. I just go with the flow and hope for the best. Today, I will be at my grandma's house all day, so I will bring my trusty laptop with me and continue to work on my story. And hopefully I will have another chapter will be up soon. Keep in mind that I will not always update every day, so don't get worried if you don't see any updates for a couple weeks. It just means that I 'm hard at work on the next chapter, hoping to please my readers. Much love to everyone who has reviewed the story so far. Thank you!

~*~*~SHOUT OUTS~*~*~

Amy77~ Yes, I love the Bash Brothers too. Especially Portman. For now, Linda will remain a part of this story, but who knows? Things could change.

Adi Gallia1~ Just wait and see what happens. I'm sure you will be happy.

Kristen~ Linda haters? Well, it does seem like the majority of us are Linda haters. As for me, I choose to remain neutral. Sometimes I hate her, and sometimes I don't. I don't know what I'm going to do with Linda in this story. Keep her? Dump her? What do you think I should do?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Big news?" Goldberg repeated. "What? You and Linda finally are getting engaged? The world really is coming to an end! Satan really does exist!"

Several of the Ducks snickered. Most of them didn't really care for their captain's girlfriend. Linda had treated Charlie like crap for most of last year, and now that they were back together, Fulton was beginning to question Linda's true intentions.

"No, you jackass," Charlie retorted. "I was on my way over here and stopped by my locker to drop off my stuff.. I was about to turn the corner when I overheard Dean Buckley talking to Coach Orion. Old Man Buckley said something about 'being a great asset to the team.' Then came the usual chit chat, but from what I can make of what Orion and Buckley were saying, it sounds as if we're getting a new player."

"Are you sure?" Dwayne asked. He adjusted his cowboy hat.

Charlie nodded. "I'm pretty sure Cowboy," he told him.

"Is it Jesse?" Adam asked hopefully, remembering his old friend and former teammate.

Charlie shook his head. "Nope," he answered. "And I know that because I heard Coach Orion say 'I'll expect her to be at our next practice'..."

"Her?" Portman repeated. "So this player's a chick?"

"Yep," Charlie replied. "I guess she's pretty good. And supposedly her dad plays for the NHL or something."

Portman frowned. "Ooh, big deal," he said sarcastically.

"God, Portman, why do you have to be such an ass?" Connie spoke up. During this whole conversation, she had sat there quietly eating her food.

Portman seemed surprised by Connie's outburst. But nevertheless, he shot back, "Man, what crawled up your ass and died? Guy not giving you any lately?"

Guy dropped his fork and sent Portman a deadly glare saying 'don't you even start with this'.

The attention of everyone at the table was diverted from Charlie's big news to Connie and Portman's lunchtime spat.

"Screw you Dean," Connie replied. She knew that Portman hated being calld by his first name, and that hearing it would make him mad.

"Right back at you 'babe'"

"Don't call me Babe."

"Babe."

"I meant it Portman."

"Babe."

"Stop it Portman."

"Babe." (

"Portman, I--"

"Babe---hey!"

In a surprise move, Connie stood up and dumped her lunch tray on Portman. She let out a frustrated cry and headed out of the cafeteria.

"Smooth move Ace," Fulton cracked.

Guy gave Portman an angry stare and then left the table to go search for his girlfriend.

Portman turned to look at his friends, and they were all staring at him.

"What?" he asked innocently.

~*~AT THE AIRPORT IN SEATTLE~*~

"Mom didn't want to come see me off?" Carrie asked.

Carrie and her dad were at the airport. Carrie was due to board her plane in a few minutes.

Scott Holden shook his head. "Sorry kiddo," he told her. "I called your mom to let you know that I was taking you to the airport, and she told me to tell you that she couldn't make it to see you off."

"Big surprise," Carrie muttered.

"But," Mr. Holden continued. "Your mom did say that she hopes you make it Minnesota safely."

"So she does care about my well being," Carrie mumbled.

Carrie's dad smiled and kissed his daughter on the forehead. "You know your mom loves you Carrie," he said. "Don't take it to heart."

Carrie chuckled. "Great advice dad," she replied.

"Flight 137 to Minneapolis, Minnesota will begin boarding in five minutes, All passengers should report to gate 2 in Terminal A."

Carrie looked at her dad and let out a small small. Tears were already beginning to form in the young teenager's eyes.

"I love you Dad," she said.

"I love you too kiddo," Scott Holden replied. He gave his daughter a hug. "Have a safe flight, okay? And don't go talking to anyone you don't know..."

"Dad, I know all this stuff," Carrie told her father. "I'm not six years old."

Scott Holden smiled. "And Andrew will meet you at the airport?" he wanted to know.

"Yes," Carrie answered. "Knowing Andrew, he's probably already there right now." Carrie laughed at the thought of her step-brother. Although they weren't really related, Andrew always looked after his step-sister and was constantly being protective of her. But Carrie didn't mind. She found if comforting knowing that there would be always someone to look after her.

"Give me a call when your plane lands," Scott Holden instructed his daughter.

"Gotcha dad," Carrie replied. She held up her newly bought cell phone. "Phone's fully charged."

"Well kiddo, you'd better go," Carrie's dad said. "You don't want to miss your flight."

"Okay," Carrie told her dad. Carrie slipped the cellphone back into her pocket. She gave him one last hug and said goodbye. Carrie turned around and took one last look at her dad before heading to the boarding area to board her flight.

Once settled in her seat, Carrie took out her headphones and slipped them on. She wasn't really too fond of flying, so to take her mind of it she listened to Nirvana and played a few games on her laptop. Sometime later, a flight attendant came walking down the aisle wheeling a cart that had little lunch tray on them.

"Great, airplane food," Carrie thought to herself. Her stomach grumbled, and reluctantly, Carrie used her plastic fork and cautiously took a bite of her food. She made a horrible face and then sat her tray aside. Though feeling incredibly hungry, Carrie figured she could wait until Andrew picked her up to go get some real lunch.

Time passed, and Carrie grew tired of listening to her music. She took off her headphones and rested her head against her pillow. Moments later, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Then the next thing she knew, Carrie opened her eyes and looked out her window. She could see the airport itself and the parking lot filled with cars. Seeing all those cars reminded Carrie that Andrew had told her that he had gotten a new car. So Carrie was even more eager to get off the plane.

~*~EDEN HALL ACADEMY~*~

Since practice didn't start right after school today, Guy decided to head over to Connie and Julie's dorm room to have a little chat with his girlfriend. After Connie and Portman's little spat at lunch, Guy had left his friends in search of his girlfriend, but he had no luck finding her. But Guy knew that Connie would now be in her dorm room, resting up for this evening's practice. He knew that Julie would be over at Scooter's dorm room studying (yes, Julie and Scooter are together. They'd been together since the scene in D3 where Scooter kissed Julie on the cheek after the game), so Guy sought this as the perfect opportunity to go talk to Connie and find out what was going on.

Guy walked down the hallway of the girls' dorm, whistling a tune to himself. When he reached Connie and Julie's room, Guy stopped whistling and knocked on the door.

"What?"

"Connie, it's me," Guy said. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah."

Guy opened the door and entered the dorm room. Sure enough, Julie was gone. And there was Connie, lying on her bed.

"Hey Cons," Guy said, kissing his girlfriend on the forehead. "What's up?"

Connie yawned. "I was about to take a nap before I get ready for practice," she replied.

"Do you want me to leave?" Guy asked.

Connie shook her head. "No, stay here Guy," she told him.

"Okay," Guy said. He took off his shoes and lay next to his girlfriend on the bed. Guy put his arms around Connie's waist and nuzzled her cheek. "Rough day?" he asked.

"You could say that," Connie answered tiredly.

Guy thought for a moment. He could sense that Connie didn't want to talk about whatever was going on. He better than to agitate his girlfriend. So Guy said nothing else and gave Connie another kiss. Connie closed her eyes, sighed, and fell asleep.

~*~Well? Lol, I don't know about this chapter. I'm really eager to know what you guys think. Review!~*~
