I am smiling like an idiot because of the reviews!
Ktbeanz (so many names but we've already covered that topic before): I'm glad that you want Charlie and Paige to have a good ending. Yes Portman is acting like a creep but I hope I'll be able to make it up in this chapter. 'Cute and such' good way to describe it. And as for my funny ending I liked it too! I'm not trying to brag, but I loved writing it...anyway I thought that I should add a quirky ending to the relationship filled chapter.
Banksiesbabe99: She has wormed her way back in eh? Good to know. I'm happy you liked the ending and the Adam cutie stuff.
natasha hyatt: I'm so very happy that you enjoyed the ending and I won't make Portman into a ho (at least I'll try not to, I don't promise anything. When you said ho I thought of Portman in a leather cat suit standing on a street corner and I laughed...)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ * Warning I wrote this bit a little differently then usual
"Hey Sweets" Portman called to Paige as she walked out of the change room after hockey practice.
"Hi" she greeted awkwardly she had gotten used to the names that Portman called every female in his life (as side from his relatives). They were both uncomfortable because they hadn't spoken to each other ever since he kissed her. It was if they were afraid of looking at each other; if they did then the whole team would know what happened.
She stood by the door, the smell of hockey clothes wafting under the door. He was planted at the other side of the hallway not moving as if he was a statue. "I just wanted to apologize for what I did. It was wrong to jump you like that and then pressure you afterwards. Can you ...you know...forgive me?" he asked with a hint of hope in his voice.
"Of course. I want us to get back to normal this whole politely ignoring each other is getting tedious," she confessed he smiled slightly. She was joking trying to ease the tension but it wasn't affecting them much. They looked at each other both waiting for the other to leave but neither moved. The deafening silence was getting to Paige "So I heard that you made out with Sandy. Now that is a true accomplishment"
He chuckled "Thanks but I don't like to womanize. It wasn't an accomplishment it was just two people coming together for one night" It was true too, Sandy knew that nothing was going to come of that night she was getting over a guy and just wanted some form of comfort which she found in Portman. He hadn't tried to take advantage of the situation either he had checked with her if she was ok with what they were doing and she had said 'yes'.
"Sure dude all I know is that guys have been calling her a 'babe' since I got here" she told him the barriers they put up against each other fading slowly.
Charlie was the last to exit the change room. He had been speaking to the Coach about a certain technique for slap shots. He paused when he saw the two teammates looking so separate parting themselves in the hallway. One he was falling for the other he wanted to fall...out of building...onto pointy rocks. Portman and Charlie locked eyes. The enforcer straightened himself portraying confidence against his Captain's steely glare.
She darted her eyes from both teenagers. The pressure was building between the two it looked like they were waiting for the other to make the first move. She had seen this too many times. Two people waiting to pounce the other like caged lions one had to have the power, be the dominant animal. But this couldn't happen between these two or any of her team they weren't lions fighting for supremacy they were Ducks gaining strength in unity.
"Just stop" she walked between the two assertively "You guys can't do this...keep on fighting each other. You are acting pretty pathetic. Not to mention what it's doing to you on the ice." Most of the team felt the strain between the players. They didn't pass to each one another or help each other while they were practicing.
"I don't even know why you have a beef with me" Portman confessed
Charlie was stuck he couldn't tell Portman why he was angry he would reveal what he and Paige were doing for the last two and half months.
"It's because" he cleared his throat covering his mouth with his fist "...um...." He coughed still covering his mouth. He dropped his had ".... well..." he looked over to Paige.
"Because he's been seeing me" Paige spat out. The two boys shot her surprised looks that matched her own. She couldn't believe she just told him that. Portman shook his head as he leaned against the wall for support while Charlie still had the look of shock but there was more happiness to it.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Connie practically bounced into the common room after school and over to some of the Ducks who were gathered around a table.
"What is with you?" Averman asked the brunette as she plopped down in her seat next to Guy who draped his arm around his girlfriend casually.
"My favorite holiday is coming up," she stated smiling widely.
"Which would be?" Paige asked from the other side of the table where she was playing bloody knuckles with Fulton.
"Valentine's Day duh" she answered how could anyone forget about Valentine's Day? She excitedly started to munch on a cookie she had left over from lunch.
There were different volumes of groans coming from the hockey players.
"It isn't that bad!" Connie said not letting them kill her happy buzz.
"She's right I'm kind of looking forward to it this year" Julie said smiling at Adam and touching her necklace. They were both sitting cozily on a near by coach.
"I wonder why?" Paige and Averman asked in unison with matching sarcasm. They both gave each other creeped out looks. "Ow" she whispered when her knuckles hit the table.
"Do you give up?" Fulton asked as he hit her fists. He tried again and missed striking the wood.
"Yeah right you wish Reed" she slammed her knuckles against his.
"So what are you giving Cat Lady this time?" Averman asked flicking his gaze to the necklace that Julie was holding protectively.
"Nothing" Julie answered for him "I don't think he should give me anything else for a while this" she lifted the silver slightly "is more then enough"
"Ouch!" Fulton proclaimed as Paige brought her fist down onto his hands.
"Give up?" she asked cockily
"I won't give you that satisfaction Hunter" he shook his head as he tried to concentrate on hitting her knuckles.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Paige was sitting on her bed in her dorm working half-heartedly on her homework when Connie and Julie shot into the room.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Connie squealed throwing her bag onto her messy bed flopping onto Paige's bed causing the books the slump about.
"Yeah we had to find out from Goldberg" Julie added as she squished the other girls by sitting on the bed made for one.
"What are you talking about?" Paige asked looking at her excited roommates.
"You and Charlie" Connie explained wide-eyed.
"Oh that" Paige nodded "I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys it's just that I didn't want everyone to know and let's face it if I told you two then the whole team would know in three seconds flat."
"Hey!...wait you're right" Connie agreed, "So what is Charlie like?"
"I'm not the kind to kiss and tell" Paige shrugged closing her books knowing with these two pounding her with questions she wouldn't get anything done.
"Obviously" Julie said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The doorbell rang throughout the house. Mr. Monroe answered the door for Guy saying hello along the way.
"Where are you taking my little girl tonight?" he asked the younger man. He had known Guy since he was born and was glad to know that this was the guy that his daughter chose to date. He was a good young man.
"The pond" Guy answered a smile appeared on his face when he saw Connie come down the stairs.
"Ok let's go" she grabbed Guy's arm kissed her dad on the cheek and dragged her boyfriend out the door.
They walked to the old duck pond hand in hand. They followed the well-known path to the frozen water. She turned and took in a quick breath.
"Wow" she whispered. Guy had set candles along the edge of the pond and on the bench she could see a basket, a bomb box and red roses; her favorite flowers.
"I can't believe you did this" Connie said as she scanned the area around her. "It's wonderful"
Guy grinned watching the girl he loved glow with happiness.
They ate the food that Guy had brought while listening to music and then put on their faithful skates and went out onto the pond. The sound of steal hitting ice rang out.
Guy held Connie's hand and took her to the center of the pond. "Do you remember when we were seven? And what we did on this very spot?"
"Yeah it was where we first kissed" she smiled at the memory.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Flash back to when they were seven in grade two.
Guy and Connie sat on the bench tied up their skates. When they were sure that they were secure they both stood up shakily and took quivery steps out onto the ice when they fell flat onto the cold surface.
"Ow" Connie wined as she tried to get up unsuccessful she fell back down this time on top of Guy.
"Oof" he grunted at the sudden weight.
"Sorry" she apologize
"Maybe if we got up together" Guy suggested. The two held onto each other for support as they got up carefully. Once they were up the let go and took a few more steps and Guy almost fell when Connie grabbed him.
"Maybe we shouldn't let go," she offered holding onto her best friend.
"Ok" he nodded regaining himself. They reached the middle of the pond.
"Look how far we got without falling" Connie pointed out proudly.
"We're quite a team like Batman and Robin" Guy said looking at where they used to be heap on the ice and then to where they stood.
"I'm Batman," she said still not letting go of Guy.
"No way I'm Batman," he argued.
"No I am" she pushed him onto the ice. He easily crumpled and hit the solid surface.
"Fine you're Batman...Robin's cooler anyway" he gave in but not without defending himself some how. She bent down and helped him up. He got back onto his feat facing her. They looked at each other their breath crystallizing in front of their mouths. Connie closed the gap between their lips and caressed his gently with her own. They pulled away quickly.
"I bet Batman never did that to Robin" Guy said, Connie looked a little hurt "They were missing out" he added.
She smiled and then pushed him again and he hit the ice hard. "Tell anyone about this and I'll kill you" she warned. He never did tell anyone.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
End of flash back.
"What I don't get is why you wouldn't want to be Bat Girl of something" Guy said
"Because Bat Girl is amazingly stupid and Batman is so much cooler..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Adam was walking with Julie along the streets of Minnesota.
"Adam where are we going?" Julie asked looking into his blue eyes.
"I told you, you'll find out when we get there. It's not that far," he told her matter of factly.
They reached their destination and Julie looked up at the cinema suspiciously. "What's so great about a movie theatre that you would have to keep it a secret?"
"That" Adam pointed to a Casablanca poster with 'Now Playing' above it.
She smiled widely at the poster and then to Adam. "You are the best boyfriend ever"
"No you are the best girlfriend ever," he corrected as they got into line for tickets.
And an hour and so later the couple walked out of the theatre. They both looked a little flushed...let's just say they didn't see much of the movie.
"Um do you want to see it again?" Adam asked blushing
"Sure" Julie grinned as they got back in line.
By the third time they had seen all the parts that they had missed and went back to the dorms, happy.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After Julie left for her date with Adam Paige decided to get to work. She sat down at her desk and began. She was an hour and a half into it when she heard a familiar knock from the door.
She opened the door and saw Charlie on the other side.
"So they all know," he said smirking.
She laughed softly "Yep"
"So I guess that means no more sneaking around" Charlie said looking at Ken who was walking down the hall and back to Paige. He took her out of her dorm and into his arms. They kissed passionately as Paige pulled him back into her room.
*tick tick tick* (That's the sound a clock by the way...) 45 minutes later...
"Charlie" she whispered, "I have to do my homework" he captured her lips with his own. A sensation ran through her. "No really I have to work," she protested. She kissed him once again and then got off of him and the bed and went over to her desk.
"Ok I'll just hang out here then" he said slinking off of the bed and sat in her chair and began to pull her into the chair with him.
"Nope I can't" she refused shaking her head smiling standing up, she led him to the door.
"Hey the last time I had to work you seduced me to make out with you" she opened the door and pushed him lightly into the hallway "This isn't fair," he said.
She smiled at him and spoke "All if fair in love and war"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
End of Story
Oh gasp! Yes it is over. But I think I am going to do a sequel. If I do it'll be called "Flying solo in a flock" I don't think it will be so romantically based but our favorite couples will be in it but there will be more focusing on the other Ducks who I neglected in this story. It'll probably be kind of choppy I don't know yet. I just want to try something out and so I don't know how bad it will be.
Oh my, my first fanfiction story is over *Aluishus cries* You reviewers have been the BEST!!!!
Maybe if I keep typing the story won't be over....
Nope it's over *cries some more*
