Family.

I don't own the mighty ducks yada yada, but I do own lizzie, her friends, phoenix and Millie, plus a few others but I won't list them all. The first time I did Lizzie's story It didn't work (thanks Lilli c) so I changed it, however one thing has remained the same and that is because this is a fictitious story, It is true I know little about how us government works, but hey, you think I know anything about English government? Anywho, don't complain to me that I'm being too fictional!

Chapter 1:

Wildwing walked around the pond in a daze he had had a dream the night before that depicted him with Lizzie, and not in their usual platonic way. The dream had started off with them at the park, they were laughing about something and fooling around, Wildwing had felt some weird fuzzy feeling in his chest as they got closer to each other and the laughing stopped, the couple looked into each others eyes and he leant down and kissed her. The dream didn't stop there and they ended up in bed with each other and he found that he hadn't disliked the dream in fact he had to admit to himself, and only to himself that he had enjoyed the dream a lot, but when he had woken up he began to think about what the others would think and then proceeded to convince himself that there was no way that Lizzie would ever like him in that way anyway. So, he decided to forget about it, well that was the idea anyway, but when it came to actually doing it he found it wasn't all that easy. The others had noticed their leaders strange behavior and were beginning to wonder what was wrong, he hadn't spoken about Canard for a long time but that didn't mean that he'd forgiven himself after only eighteen months.

"Hey big brother," Dive said happily linking his arm in Wing's, "why so glum bro?"

"Huh," Wildwing looked at his baby brother and two images flicked across his mind, one of Dive laughing at the idea of him and Lizzie, the other of Dive yelling at him that he was a freak and he no longer had a brother, the first thought was bad enough but for his brother to hate him was too much he needed him, "oh, nothing, I guess I'm just a little tired."

"Ooookay, wait," Dive narrowed his eyes and looked accusingly at his brother, "your never tired, your lying, you never lie unless you've got a really big secret to keep," by this time the others, all except Grin, had their full attention trained on the Flashblade brothers. Wildwing kept quiet but flushed a little and his right eyebrow raised a little, "ha! I knew it you are lying, so what's the big secret bro?"

"Who says I'm keeping a secret Dive?" Wildwing was finding it increasingly difficult to look his brother in the eye and proceeded to look else where.

"Giveaway number one, your blushing," Wing got even redder, "number two your right eyebrow always raises when your lying, number three, you can't look me in the eye, and last but not least giveaway number four, you a really, really, really bad liar."

"Even if I do have a secret, which I don't," Wing added quickly, as the others fought to hold back their laughter, "there would be a very good reason that I'm . . .I would be keeping it a secret, okay?" Dive gave a goofy grin knowing that he'd get the secret out of him or find it out somehow and nodded at his brother.

"Boobies!" Everyone jumped at Phil's shout, "Come up to my office would ya, I'd like to run something by all of you."

"Remind me again w – why I con – conec – linked his computer to Drake one." Stammered Tanya. The Mighty Ducks traipsed up to their manager's office to see what it was Phil wanted the to do now.

Wildwing had no clue what Phil was talking about he was more interested in studying a picture of Lizzie in her early teens that sat on a shelf in Phil's office. She must have been a little over twelve and she looked so happy, she was surrounded by her friends that she'd told him about, Taisha, a black girl who was amazingly intelligent, so much so that she graduated when she was ten, her brother Jax who was a champion boxer and Caine, she'd never really told him about Caine, all he knew was that he was quiet and that she'd known him for as long as she could remember, and that they were like brother and sister, they looked like they were having fun.

From across the room the rest of the ducks were studying their leader, who was so obviously somewhere else, they looked towards where he was looking at and realized just what he was looking at, which gave them an idea.

A few weeks after his unusual dream it was Wildwing's birthday, the way everyone had been acting he had thought even his baby brother had forgotten but put it down to the fact that they'd been pretty busy with Draganus recently. He got back from a walk through the park quite late, it was December eighteenth and Earth was getting ready for Christmas, he had been out buying presents for the team and Lizzie who he hadn't seen recently as she'd been working on something for her course at college. However she was grouchy when working on these things and he found it best to leave her to it, "at least she'll be finished soon, I hope she likes the present I got her." he thought nervously. He made his way to his room and placed the gift on the bed and jumped when the alarm rang. He raced to the ready room, he was about to take the shortcut through the rec. room when he met with Nosedive and Duke who had evil grins on their faces, they grabbed him and shoved him into the rec. room locking the door behind him, the lights were out and it was pitch black. He turned around thinking his brother and teammate had lost their minds when;

"Grin! Put me down what are you doing? I swear I will get you for this, hell has no fury like a woman scorned you know," Grin, who had been ignoring her loud shouts placed her gently on the ground and stepped back through the door that lead to the ready room and lock that one. "What is going on?!"

"That's what I'd like to know." Wildwing was panicking, he was in a dark room alone with the woman he had dreamed about having sex with, he hadn't seen her since the dream and was hoping to avoid her until his feelings changed but it just doesn't seem to work like that.

"Wildwing is that you," he felt butterflies in his stomach and his heart got stuck in his throat, "do you have any ide. . . " she stopped as the lights were switched on and when the two could see again they noticed a table beautifully laid out with food on it and cards were scattered around it, there were also two candles in the middle and wine glasses. Both made their way towards the table and looked at it in total shock.

"I swear I'm going to kill them for this." Wildwing joked.

"Not if I get them fist," added Lizzie, "oh well," she shrugged, "no sense in wasting good food."

They sat down and ate the meal and talked, they laughed at one another's joke and when they had finished their meal they went and sat down on the couch, taking the bottle of wine that had been left to fill the wine glasses with them. Wing flicked through a few channels and found a film that looked promising and they started to watch. Wing looked a Liz and decided he had to ask;

"Do you skate?" Lizzie went bright red.

"I'm really bad at it, when I was four I kind of tripped and fell through the ice," Lizzie looked at her half empty wine glass, "I probably could but I guess I'm a little afraid to."

"You wanna try again," asked Wildwing, "I promise I won't let you fall."

"Well if you put it that way," Lizzie put the glass down slowly and looked at Wing, "how can a girl refuse?"

They got up to leave and found that someone had conveniently unlocked the door to the ready room where the lift was, both laughed at the fact that the others had been listening but didn't care they went up to the changing room and Wing found a pair of skates that fitted Lizzie and they went to the rink. To say Lizzie was unsteady was an understatement, she seemed to spend more time flat on her face or on her rear end than actually skating, Wildwing chuckled as she fell over backwards a fifth time and skated over to her aide. He took her hands in his and slowly skated backward letting her lean her weight on him to get used to the ice again, she tripped again and landed on his strong chest, she went bright red. They were so close to each other that when Lizzie looked up at him his beak almost touched her lips, she felt him move closer and his beak brushed them, she leaned further into him as he wrapped his arm around her and they kissed, it wasn't a long kiss, or even a particularly passionate kiss, just a sweet tender kiss that neither wanted to end. The others watched their leader and Lizzie from the stands, Tanya sighed, Mallory thought it was weird and walked off Duke smiled, as did Grin and Nosedive had to try very hard not to ruin the moment for the new lovers. Later that night the two exchanged gifts, Lizzie had bought Wing a picture frame for an old photo of his family he'd managed to keep with him all through the camps. Wildwing surprised Lizzie when he gave her a small pendant with a small diamond in the middle that hung almost like a choker around her neck.

"You do get the whole birthday thing right? You know where people give you gifts, not the other way around?" She smiled at him wrapping her arms around his waist.

"What can I say I saw it and thought of you." he leaned down and kissed her again and not long after she said good night and left for her apartment across town.
