Ok I know that I haven't updated in like forever. That sentence sounded
really stupid. I'm number 79 now! Eeep! I feel bad like I should be
punished you know be beaten with a big stick or something. But I've been
having writers block and I had it in the last chapter too and it's been the
longest chapter yet! It's like the harder the chapter is to write the
longer it gets! AH! It also doesn't help that my parents have dragged me to
the cottage these last few weekends and there isn't a computer up there.
Any way I am back and sadly I cannot say "I'm back and better then ever"
because I don't know if this is better . . .
I'm surprised that you guys were so easy going with the whole strip poker thing because after I wrote it I thought it was bit extreme but it is something that Paige would do . . .
anne918: yay someone else likes Paige. I'm happy. Don't feel bad about not reviewing right away because look how long it has taken for me to update! I'm ready for the big stick!
Beaner: Firstly we found out that Paige is Bombay's niece I think in the first chapter that she has been in. Secondly everyone is going to end up at Goldberg's. Thirdly I'm not sure when you are going to find out why someone has to look after Paige. I sorry that I didn't update sooner :(
Jocelyn: I'm glad that you think my story is funny and you like the way that I write Connie and Guy! I'm all happy and glowy!
Banksiesbabe99: You are welcome for the Adam and Julie thing I'm trying to build up a relationship and all so . . . Anyway about Charlie's step dad the reason why I decided to make him nice (because I considered making him be terribly evil) is because I thought that Charlie's mom would pick a good man I mean she was wary just about going on a date with Bombay!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Luis was just a block away from Paige while Dwayne and Kenny were a block behind Luis.
"Paige!" Luis called gaining on her. She stopped skating and waited for Luis to catch up. She grabbed onto him, if she hadn't then he probably would have glided past her.
"Dude you need to learn how to use the brakes" she sighed and let of him.
"So what was that?" Luis asked referring to her conversation with Bombay
"It's a long story' she shrugged. By this time Dwayne and Kenny were a block away from them.
"Paige where are going?" Kenny called
"I was thinking about going to Goldberg's" she yelled back "the Bash Brothers are there"
"Good I'm starved" Dwayne said after they finally reached them
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Charlie, Guy, Connie, Adam and Julie were all walking to Averman's apartment.
"He should be back from his aunts by now" Adam told everyone with out taking his eyes off of Julie.
"Probably" Guy agreed walking behind him with his arm around Connie.
They reached the building that held their wacky friend. Adam held the door open for Julie and she entered with Charlie close behind her saying "Such a mannered boy"
Charlie stopped in front of the list of tenants who lived in the building. He ran his finger down the list in till he reached 'Averman' he typed in the number and after a couple of beeps they heard a very winded Averman breath "Hello?"
"Yes Lester Averman you have just won a year supply of turtle wax come down to claim your prize" Charlie spoke into the voice box.
"Wow you're witty" Averman panted
"What were you doing?" Charlie asked noting how out of breath his friend was.
"Just messin' around with my brothers" he gulped.
"Alright man do you want to come to Goldberg's with us?" Charlie asked
"Sure . . . who's us?"
"Adam, Connie, Guy and Julie" Charlie responded
"Ok be down in a sec. Hey! Bill get off! You are being such a br-" his agitated voice disappeared.
After a couple of minutes Averman appeared in the empty dirty lobby.
"Hey guys" he said as he opened the door.
The six teenagers headed down the street. Julie and Adam were in the lead and having a deep conversation about what turkey would actually say if they could talk, while Connie and Guy were whispering softly straggling behind the group leaving Charlie and Averman in the middle.
"It's great being the fifth wheel," Averman said shoving his hands into his pockets.
"Technically you are the sixth," Charlie pointed out "I'm the fifth'
They walked in silence for a while in till Averman asked "So what ended up being the big news?"
"I'm moving to Raven Hill" he smiled
"Does that mean you are going to start wearing polo shirts and eat caviar like CakeEater?" Averman laughed imaging Charlie playing croquet.
"Fat chance" Adam said he knew that Charlie would never eat caviar after he told him that it was actually fish eggs.
"So is Raven Hill the rich part of town?" Julie asked
"It sure is I can't wait to see your new place" Guy said joining in the conversation "when are you moving?"
"It's funny you should ask," Charlie said "because I'm going to need help from my team to move"
"I'm busy, sorry" Averman spurted out.
"I haven't even told you the date yet' Charlie pointed out
"So when is it so I can tell you I'm busy that day?" Averman asked
"This weekend. We'll probably pack up tomorrow then start moving the next day," Charlie told them
"I'm busy" Averman said.
"I've got to baby-sit my little sister and brothers" Guy sighed he would rather help move then take care of the triplets.
"I've got to help him" Connie said she too would rather move then look after Guy's siblings.
"Knew I could rely on you" Charlie said, "At least Banks is a true friend"
"I got shocked into helping" Adam muttered
"I'll help you Charlie" Julie offered
"Thanks Jules" Charlie smiled, but Adam's smile was even bigger. He would get to spend a whole day with Julie!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Russ turned the corner and then jumped out of the way when he saw four of his teammates skating toward him.
"Hey Russ" Kenny said coming to a stop while grabbing the back of Luis's jacket causing him to fall to the ground.
"Hi" Russ said between chuckles. Luis got up and dusted himself off trying to maintain his dignity even though he was surrounded by laughter.
"Are you headed for Goldberg's?" Paige asked after they stopped laughing.
"Yeah are you?' Russ asked
"Sure are" Dwayne answered eh was really hungry and was relived when they started skating (in Russ's case walking) again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At Goldberg's Fulton's mom, his brother and the Bash Brothers were just out the door when Portman spotted Luis, Dwayne, Kenny, Russ and Paige who sped up causing Russ to run to keep up.
"Hey Mrs. Reed" Paige said
"Hello Paige" she smiled and hugged Paige
"How are you?" Paige asked awkwardly she didn't like being hugged or hugging people unless she really knew and like them.
"Fine"
"Hey" Paige nodded at Fulton's brother
"Hey Paige"
"Are y'all leaving?" Dwayne asked
"Well . . ." Fulton looked at his mom
"You two boys stay and have fun" she smiled and walked away with her eldest son as the rest of the Ducks walked towards them. They all greeted each to each other and went into Goldberg's
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Connie, Guy, Adam and Julie sat in the booth on the window side farthest from the door, Connie and Guy on one side and Adam and Julie on the other side.
"Green Goblin was such a better villain for Spiderman then Octopus" Guy said
"No way" Connie said, "Octopus was stronger, part machine and way smarter. He was a scientist. What did the Green Goblin have that Octopus didn't, besides the money?"
"Nothing . . . I guess you're right" Guy agreed
"Do you always give in the easy?" Adam asked
"No" Guy frowned
"Yah you do" Connie said
"No I don't" Guy turned to face her
"You always give in," Connie said in a teasing tone that only made Guy even more frustrated.
"God I don't!" the couple started to fight
"Now look what you did," Julie said
"I didn't do anything they always fight" Adam disagreed
"Yah but more banter now they are fight fighting" Julie said. Then Julie and Adam started to argue about Guy and Connie arguing.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Luis slid into the booth window side beside the one Connie was just climbing into. Dwayne, Kenny and Russ threw their jackets into the booth and headed over to order.
"Hi can I have a hotdog, fries and a chocolate milk shake' Dwayne asked
"Sure" the person at the counter said and turned towards the kitchen "Goldberg dog, fires and choco shake"
After they had their food Goldberg had a break and walked over to Luis's table passing Connie and Guy who was saying something about a Goblin and an Octopus.
"How's the food?" Goldberg asked
"Maybe you should choose a different hobby because these aren't the best. Plus you could do something a little less girly then cooking" Russ teasingly
"Is the food bad?" Goldberg asked not picking up on the joke.
"No man I was just kidding don't worry Martha Stewart the food's find' Russ chuckled
"That isn't funny. Cooking isn't girly" Goldberg said
"I kn-" Russ started but was interrupted by Kenny.
"If you think cooking is so feminine what do you think about figure skating?"
"Wh-" Russ began but again was interrupted this time by Dwayne.
"Calm down he's just kiddin' around"
"Oh so you agree with him it's nice to know what you think of us cowboy" Goldberg said shoving him. At this point Luis decided that he didn't want any part of this so he got up.
Then Kenny pushed Russ and a little brawl broke out between the four just as Adam and Julie started bickering.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Averman slid into the booth window side closest to the door and Charlie sat beside him. Portman at on the other side followed by Paige who then got squished in-between the Bash bros when Fulton sat beside her.
"Oof" she grunted "So . . . what did you guys do for Thanksgiving"
'I spent is with my dad's side' Averman said
"Oh your parents are divorced?' Paige asked
"Yep but it's not as it seems they're still good friends, I mean they can stand being in the same room with each other for large amounts of time. They had a very healthy easy and divorce" Averman explained
"There's no such thing," Fulton said between clenched teeth not looking up from the table.
"As what?" Averman asked confused
"A healthy easy divorce" Fulton said his voice filled with anger still not looking anyone in the eye he stormed out of the restaurant. Paige followed him with a concerned look on her pretty face.
"Reed" Paige came up to him. "Are you alright?"
"I guess" he sighed
They both leaned against the window. After a while of watching cars go by Fulton broke the silence.
"They don't know, none of them not even Charlie or Portman" Fulton said he looked at her his face filled with pain. "I just didn't want them to . . ." This was difficult for him to say.
"I know. I mean I get it" Paige moved away from the window and turned to face Fulton.
"It's just hard. I can't tell them because they wouldn't understand and part of me doesn't want them to know but the other half wants someone to be there . . ."he stopped he was going to say 'to be there for me to be able to comfort me' but that was just too much for him to say.
"Hey I'm here now so you don't have to go it alone anymore" she tried to smile. "Come here" she pulled him into a hug. She knew exactly what happened to him and what he was going through now and she wanted to- no she was going to be there for him.
"It's just unfair when you see how it could be so much . . ." he trailed off
"Better"
"Yeah" he sighed as they pulled away. He forgot how helpful she was during those summers and how much he missed her and how soothing it was for her to just be around. Most of all how she just knew . . .
"You ready to go back in?" Paige asked
"Totally" he smiled, he was glad to have her here.
They went back into Goldberg's which was filled with arguments and sat in the booth.
"What was that?" Averman asked
"Nothing" Fulton answered
"No man that was something" Portman said
"Just back off" Fulton said.
"No dude I won't" Portman argued
Charlie climbed out of the booth and headed for the counter he wanted to make sure if their little conversation led to blows he'd be out of the way.
"Hey Luis" he said, "What did you do back at school?"
"Well the real question is what Paige was trying to do me" Luis grinned the image of Paige still fresh in his mind.
"What are you talking about?" Charlie asked
"Well let's just say that Paige gave me a little bit of a strip dance" Luis said 'Ok that is a small stretch but a little white lie can't hurt' he thought
"Paige did what!?!" Charlie yelled so loud that all of the Ducks fell silent and looked towards their Captain.
"What did I do?" Paige walked up to them.
"Gave Luis a strip show!" Charlie yelled just a little softer then before
"What?" Paige grabbed Luis by the collar and shoved him against the wall.
"What I meant to say is that we played a little game of strip poker" Luis stuttered
"You failed to mention that Ken and Dwayne were both playing too and Dwayne was wearing less clothes then me. I was wearing pants and a bra compared to Dwayne who was just in his boxers and hat" Paige said at that last comment Dwayne went beet red but none of the Ducks noticed.
"Oops" Luis squeaked. Paige backed off of him and crossed her arms.
"I don't appreciate you lying about me. The next time you do I'll take you're manly parts and use them as hockey pucks. And don't mistake that threat as a come on " Paige said
"Sorry" Luis mumbled. Paige just tried to shrug it off she knew that Luis was just a horny little boy and you could only blame him for so much. Charlie on the other hand did not like Luis's lie and was just about to shove him when Fulton pushed him back against the wall.
"Sorry isn't good enough asshole" Fulton said fuming.
"Hey what do you want me to do?" Luis asked
"How about stop being a sexist jackass," Connie said "God you've seen more of me and Connie in our bathing suits! But because it was a bra instead of swim wear you turn it into some elaborate story " She was getting tired of boys . . . being boys. Luis was being such a pig.
"Calm down Cons" Guy tried to comfort her.
"What are you taking his side?" Connie asked
"No" he didn't agree with what Luis did but it wasn't that big of a deal.
"Reed back off of him" Paige told him and he did so without freeing him from his angry glare.
"What are you now ok with what he did?" Charlie asked
"I think he learned his lesson no reason to harm a fellow teammate with out good cause," Paige reasoned.
"Well I guess it is up to you" Charlie reasoned
"Like you could actually do anything about it" Luis scoffed
At this point the rest of the Ducks had snapped out of it and remember that they too were in a fight and turned back the people who they were arguing with.
"I don't always give in," Guy said
"Yes you do" Connie said
"See they're still fighting . . ." Julie glared at Adam
"But it isn't my fault!" Adam yelled
"What's your problem Fulton?" Portman shoved Fulton
"Nothing . . ." he pushed Portman back
"Cooking isn't girly" Goldberg elbowed Russ
"Neither is figure skating" Kenny punched Dwayne in the arm.
"Ow!" Dwayne pulled Kenny into a headlock.
"You couldn't pull anything if you tried" Luis pushed Charlie who then punched him in the stomach.
"Do they always do this?" Paige whispered to Averman
"Never this bad" Averman looked around "usually it just is shoving never punches and stuff. Well except for the Bash Brother fights" he was concerned; the Ducks had had their fights before but never in such a small area.
"Break it up!" Bombay had just entered and pulled Charlie off of Luis and then grabbed Portman before he could punch Fulton again who had just punched him. The other Ducks stopped and turned to face Bombay.
"What is wrong with you!?!" Bombay yelled. All of the Ducks started answering at once.
"Alright! I don't want to hear now. Tomorrow six AM Eden Hall rink, no gear just skates. If you want to play in the next game you had better be there. Pay your bill, get your coats, and then go home without killing each other." None of them moved they were too busy glaring at each other.
"Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Home NOW!" This time all of them responded and paid their bills, grabbed their jackets and filed out of the restaurant, all except for Goldberg.
Paige was just about to leave when Bombay grabbed her arm but before he could say anything she said "I told you what I was going to do I'll see you at six." Then she left
