I don't own the mighty ducks.
Thank you to all of you wonderful people who reviewed.
ALIENATED LYNCANTHROPE- Your reviews made me laugh my keister off. I'm glad that you like how I'm portraying Fulton. He always seemed to be real soft under the tough guy exterior, which I love. You had some pretty funny guesses for Mr. Wonderful, DWAYNE? I almost fell off my chair. Thanks for all the wonderful compliments! You sure know how to make a writer feel good!
BELLA7- Goldberg for Fulton? That was a funny guess. I'm glad you're enjoying the story even though Dean and Julie will not be together. There will be more for Portman later, but not centered with Julie. Doesn't everyone love Averman. I know I do! LOL.
DEATH TO ALL RUBIX CUBES- Didn't like Charlies part? Don't worry, more Charlie to come, and it's not nice to threaten people. LOL
GWENYTH HUNTER- As far as Fulton/Charlie, I agree totally. Their closeness in D3 gave me the idea to put them together. Does Adam make it to the party? You'll have to wait and see.
ROSIELADY- I'm glad this story brings you joy, and you like Charlie and Fulton. Adam and Julie? You'll have to wait and see if he can make it to the party. GO RED SOX!!! I'm typing this about 15 minutes before game 4. They have to win or I'll cry.
SABREGIRLUS33- Awesome? Thanks. Will Adam make it to the party? Keep reading to find out.
FIFI- Your review made me laugh so hard! I rocked the socks right off your feet. Well, go put some more socks on. I don't want to be the reason your feet are cold. LOL. You like Fulton and Charlie, YAY! SUPER AMAZING FANTASTYCAL, you're hilarious. Anyway, I'm sorry to make you suffer, but you're gonna have to wait to find out about Julie/Adam with everyone else.
DOUBLEL27- Ah, My fellow Bostonian, yes we are in a predicament. I'm typing this right before game 4. EEK!! They have to win. They have to beat the pin stripes right off those Yankees. LOL. Anyway, back to the story. I picked Charlie because I wanted it to be different but make sense. Fulton adores Charlie in all the movies. It made sense to me. Adam is always cute, and I had to include Harvard and the Bruins! LOL. No hints on Julie/Adam.
CHAPTER 5
FULTONS POV
It has been a week since Averman and Annie broke up. We have all been trying to cheer him up, especially Guy and myself. Hildy and Julie have been working on Annie. I don't understand why she broke up with him for something so stupid. They have been through a lot together. Averman would've given her the world on a silver platter. He loved her more than anything. I hope they get back together, but I'm having my doubts that they will. They're not the type of couple that breaks up every month then gets back together. They've always been solid. We thought they would never break up. When you love someone stupid shit like that shouldn't be able to get in the way.
I guess that's just my feelings. That's how I felt about Charlie. I loved him with everything I had, stupid gossip would've never got in the way of that. I wouldn't have let it. I hope Charlie comes to the party, and I hope the guys all keep their mouth shut. The only one I'm really worried about is Hildy. I love that girl like a sister, but she has a big mouth. Charlie never wanted people to find out that he was gay. It wasn't a personal thing with me. We dated for four years, and no one ever found out. Not until I came to college alone and wallowing in self pity. I told Averman first. I don't know why I picked him over Guy or Julie. I just didn't think he would judge me. He wasn't too shocked when I told him. He even made a wise crack about it. I don't remember it now, but from Averman that's a sign that he's ok with it.
About six months later, I told everyone else. They were all cool with it. They were a little shocked that Charlie and I could hide it for so long without anyone finding out. Portman knows I'm gay, but doesn't know about Charlie.
I was startled out of my thoughts by a knock on the door. It was Averman. Guy and Hildy were on a date tonight. Julie was taking care of Annie. I asked Averman to come to my dorm and hang out so he wouldn't be alone and depressed. He flopped down on the bed.
"Hey," Averman said.
"How ya holdin up?" I asked him.
"OK"
"Really?"
"No, not really. I'm miserable. How could she do this to me? I thought she loved me. I was going to ask her to marry me. I bought the ring two weeks ago."
"Wow, uh, I knew you were thinking about asking her, but I didn't think you made a decision yet, I'm sorry."
"I was planning on asking her at graduation. " He took a ring box out of his pocket and tossed it to me. "I can't get rid of it. It's like if I hold onto it all the time, It's not over."
I opened it and looked down at the ring. It was beautiful, and perfect for Annie. It wasn't huge. It wasn't tiny. A nice small diamond on a gold band, Simple elegance. "It's perfect for her." Is all I could get out.
"yeah, I know."
"I'm sorry man, let's do something to get our minds off your breakup, and me possibly coming face to face with the love of my life for the first time in four years."
"Oh man, Fulton, I'm sorry. I've been thinking about myself. How are you doing?"
"Don't worry about it man. I don't want to think about it or talk about it anymore. Hey, let's go to the bar."
"Alright, two bachelors drinking and acting manly, that's just what I need." Averman said excitedly.
Fulton smiled at his good friend and started to leave the dorm room. Just as they were about to leave the phone rang.
Averman picked it up. "Fulton Reeds house of love, can I help you?"
I just rolled my eyes and let out a small laugh and he handed me the phone.
"Who is it," I asked Averman.
"I don't know."
"hello," I said into the receiver.
"Hello, is Fulton there?" whoever it was asked me.
Yeah, it's me."
"oh, hey, it's Adam Banks." He said still sounding a little confused.
"Hey Adam, It's great to hear from you. I'm sorry about the phone, Averman answered it."
Adam just laughed.
"So, are you calling about the party? Julie would love it if you'd be there," I said trying not to give away Julies secret crush. It was hard not to say anything. We always talk about it with Julie and joke around with her about it. It just comes out, I can't control it.
"I would love to come, really I would. I have a game in Boston that night. I was pissed when I found out that it was the same day and same time. I wish it was something that I could ditch, but I can't ditch game 2 of the Stanley cup, my team would kill me."
"So, you guys won last night? We taped the game and we were all gonna watch it together later tonight. It's a little ritual that Julie started. We all get together and watch your games once a week."
"really, cool."
"Well, congratulations, man. I'm sorry you can't make it." I looked over at Averman and saw his face fall. We both knew that Adam being there would make Julie one hundred times happier than anything else we could do for her birthday. "I know Julie will miss you, but she'll have the rest of us to fall back on. Let me give the phone to Averman. He's been signaling to let me talk to you."
Adam laughed "sure."
I heard Averman saying "Hey, Cakeater" then I zoned for the rest of their conversation. Adam was the first Duck that we had heard from and he couldn't make it. What if all the other Ducks couldn't come either?
I am really missing all the ducks, I feel like I haven't seen my family in four years.
I heard Averman saying goodbye after their quick conversation. As Averman was getting off the phone, Guy and Hildy got back from their date.
Guy was waving a tape in the air. "Hey, we're going to Julie's to watch the Bruins game, with her and Annie. Are you guys coming this week too? We all have to see if Cakeater can make the finals." We all turned to Averman.
He jumped out of his seat, and grabbed the tape out of Guys hands. "The bar can wait. Let's go, I bet you twenty bucks the Bruins win."
"I don't want to bet against Banksie." Guy said.
I laughed hysterically and Hildy and Guy were looking at me funny. "We talked to Adam a few minutes ago. We already know that they won."
Guy started to give Averman a nuggie, and then chuckled. "That was pretty good, What else did Adam say?"
Hildy broke in. "Yeah, Is Mr. Hot body hockey star gonna come to this party?"
My smile faded, "He has a game. He sounded like he really wanted to go, but he said he can't blow off game two for the cup."
"Understandable, but it still sucks." Guy said.
Afterthat we all headed for Julies house to watch the Bruins win, hoping that Annie and Averman were going to be ok. This was going to be the first time we all hung out since the breakup. We couldn't ditch weekly Bruins games at Julies house. Julie would be devastated. If only Adam could make it to the party. Julie would be so happy. She deserves happiness so much.
Ok guys, there's chapter 5, I hope you like it!! Please review.
