Disclaimer: I don't own the Mighty Ducks, unfortunately, and if I did do
you think I would be writing this? No I don't think so. However if anyone
wants to sell me Joshua Jackson, I will very willingly take him, CHELS?
C-chan: Hm, nope, Josh is mine. AAALLLLL mine. Yep, that's the truth...well, at least in the deep recesses of my MIND that's that the truth...details, details...
A/N- I have wanted to do this fic for a long time. I told a friend about it one day when I was at her house and she told me to start writing it. So here I am writing it. It is a Charlie/Julie fic, and as the title says it is about their college years. However the first chapter is going to be before they leave for college, they are seniors in high school. But that is all I am going to tell you because I don't want to give the story away. So I am now going to shut up and start the fic. Hope you enjoy it and please review afterwards. I enjoy feed back.
-Prologue-
It was late winter at Eden Hall, and all the Ducks were now seniors. Most of them knew what college they were going to. So far, all of them except Julie and Connie were going to Arizona State. Connie and Julie had applied there but hadn't received the acceptance letter yet. They had also applied at Minnesota State as a fallback college incase they didn't get into Arizona. The Ducks had continued to win and actually started studying in their classes. Connie and Guy had gotten back together sophomore year and were just as cute as ever. Julie and Charlie had gotten together not long after Charlie and Linda had broken up. Charlie and Linda's relationship had lasted about two weeks before Linda drove Charlie stark raving mad with her constant complaints about his hockey schedule. Charlie and Julie had been together ever since.
Now Julie was walking to her next class, grumbling to herself because she didn't particularly want to go to this class.
"I hate speech, why do I have to take speech? I'm a goalie not a lawyer. Why do I need to take speech...it's so stupid." Julie said to herself not realizing that there was someone behind her.
"Now Jules, just because you are a goalie doesn't mean that you don't need to not take speech. It can be useful, you know, like talking to your faithful fans." The voice form behind her declared. Julie jumped about two feet in the air twirled around and hit the guy square in the chest.
"Charles Joshua Conway, you arrogant smart ass! You scared the crap out of me!!!!! Why the hell do you have this fetish about walking up behind me like that?!?!?" She screamed at him hitting him some more to get the point across. Charlie was cracking up laughing as obscenities poured out of Julie's mouth.
"Jules, it is just to much fun to sneak up on you like that when you are talking to yourself. It's just so cute, it really is. You're so cute when you jump like that." He said, grinning and trying not to laugh.
"Bite me, Charlie!!" Julie said as she walked away from him.
"You know Julie, one of these days I just might get a chance to take you up on that." Charlie said sweetly, earning himself a smack in the chest, once again.
Later that day at practice, Connie got there late, but extremely hyper. She came in so fast she knocked Julie down and had to help the lady goalie up since she had all her equipment. As soon as Julie was back on her feet Connie started jumping up and down and squealing which was very unlike Connie.
"OH MY GOSH, Connie what did you eat? I haven't seen you this hyper in a long time." Julie asked her.
"I got accepted to Arizona!!!!!!!!" she squealed jumping up and down again. Julie stared at her for a little while. If Connie had gotten accepted than that meant she still had a chance. But why hadn't she gotten a letter yet?
"Oh my gosh, that is awesome Connie!!! I hope I get mine soon. I am getting impatient." Julie hugged her and tried not to show her own disappointment.
"Ahh Jules, you will get yours soon. Just hang in there." Connie said, seeing right through her best friends attempt to not look disappointed, "Now come on, we need to get to the ice." Julie nodded and they finished getting dressed. Then they went out to the ice where the guys already were doing their laps. Connie told them about her getting accepted and they all hugged her, then they turned to Julie and asked about her.
"I haven't gotten it yet guys." She said and skated off to the goal. Charlie wanted to go and make sure she was okay, but with one look at her realized that she wanted to be alone. So he left her alone. After practice Julie was the first one off the ice and in the locker room, she didn't talk to anyone. She just got dressed, left, and went to her dorm to lie down and sulk. Connie came in and looked to see if she was there. When she saw her, she left again and Charlie came in a few seconds later.
"Hey sweetie." He said, but didn't get any response from the girl that was curled up in a ball on her bed. "Julie, you will get yours soon. Probably within the next week; it takes time." She still didn't respond to him, so he went over to her bed and sat down, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Julie, come on. Look at me. Tell me what is wrong."
"I'm not going to get in. I can feel it. I don't want to be away from you and the rest of the team; I won't be able to stand it." Julie finally said.
"Oh Julie, you will get in. And if you don't, you can go somewhere else for a little while and transfer. You will always be part of the team, no matter what, okay? If you don't get in, then we will think of something, alright? I promise." Charlie said, pulling her into his lap and rocking her, trying to calm her down. She just nodded in response. He held her for a while until she fell asleep, then he laid her down and covered her up. He then kissed her on the cheek can stood up.
"Night angel, see you tomorrow." He whispered and walked out of the room, telling Connie that she was asleep. About a week later, Julie still hadn't gotten the letter. The whole team had to help keep her mind off of it. Finally, on a Wednesday, she got the letters she was looking for. She squealed and ran to her dorm room to open her mail. She jumped on her bed and opened the first one, Minnesota State. She read it and grinned real big. She had gotten in to it; maybe that was a good sign for Arizona. She picked up the Arizona State University letter and opened it; she took a big sigh and started reading. Just as she read the answer Connie came in. Julie jumped two feet in the air, and hid the letter.
"Oh my gosh, Connie! You scared me to death!" She screamed. Connie laughed.
"Sorry Jules; I didn't mean to." Connie apologized.
"It's okay." Julie said looking down at her hands.
"Julie? You ok? You look kind of pale." Connie asked, gently.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Just tired. I don't feel like going to practice today." Julie said softly.
"Okay. Stay here and sleep; I'll tell coach you didn't feel good." Connie said gently.
"Thanks Connie. But you better make sure Charlie knows I am not on my death bed; you know him, always the protective one." Julie said laughing.
"Don't worry, I'll tell him that you are just tired; you haven't been sleeping well." Connie said laughing.
"Okay, better go. It is almost time for practice." Julie said
"Yeah, your right. See ya later; get some rest." Connie said grabbing her bag and walking out the door.
"See ya." Julie said softly before she lay down and cried herself to sleep.
(an: HAHAHAH Chelsea you would never guess what I saw on the history channel. LOL!!! They had a think about Ninjas. LOL!!! And I couldn't take it seriously, I cracked up. LOL!!! All I could think of was Massy going, I love converse and Kylie, AND I REALLY WANT TO BE A NINJA!!! LOL!!!! People that is reading this i am so sorry but I haven't talked to Chelsea in a long time and this was the only way I could tell her, and it happened while i was typing this. It was a total inside joke so sorry, if you want to know it i well tell you but you might not understand. Anyways i well shut up and go on with the story.) ---At Practice---
Connie came into the locker room and didn't see anyone there.
'They must all already be on the ice.' She thought to herself. 'I better hurry.' She changed into her hockey gear and went out to the ice. She saw Charlie and waved him over.
"Hey Cons, what's up? And where is Jules?" he asked when he got over there.
"That is why I called you over. She didn't feel to good; she hasn't been getting much sleep lately and it finally caught up to her. She looked pretty pale." Connie told him.
"Okay. Do you know if she has gotten her letters yet?" Charlie said, trying not to look as worried as he really was.
"No, I don't know." She said. He nodded and started to skate off. "Wait Charlie!!! I think there was something else bothering her. When we get out of practice, I will go to Guy's dorm. You go talk to her and see if I am right. Please, I really think she was hiding something from me."
Charlie saw Connie's pleading look, and saw how worried she was about Julie. "Yeah Cons, I well."
"Thanks, lets go practice." She said hugging him and skating out on the ice to practice.
After practice Charlie walked out of the locker room and waited for Connie. When she came out he walked with the to the dorms. They didn't say anything to each other while they walked because they were both worried about Julie, and what she was hiding.
When they got to the dorms, Connie went to Guy's to leave Charlie alone with Julie so that they could talk. Charlie walked into the room and saw Julie sleeping in her bed, curled up in a ball. He walked over to her bed and sat down next to her. He saw something lying next to her. He picked it up and saw that it was her letter from Arizona. He read it and knew why Julie didn't go to practice.
"Oh God!!" He said. He looked at Julie and saw that she had been crying. He reached out and touched her cheek and smiled she was out like a light. He bent down kissed her cheek and pulled her covers up over her so she would be warm. "I'll leave you to sleep, angel. But if you need me you know where I am." And with that he walked out to leave her alone. He walked out of her room and went to tell the guys what was going on, and that right now Julie was sleeping peacefully.
Julie did sleep peacefully for a long time. Connie had come in, gotten ready for bed, and gone to sleep and Julie didn't even move. In fact, she didn't move until about 2:00 that next morning when she woke up from a nightmare about her being separated from the team for four years.
She started crying again, 'Why didn't they let me in? Why couldn't Arizona have let me in? They let Connie in. It's not going to be the same with out them. How am I going to make it through with out Charlie, Connie, Guy, and Portman? They are all my best friends. She sniffed, I have five months to deal with that, right now I just want to spend as much time with them and the rest of the team as I can. It'll make the goodbye a little less hard if I spend all my time with them. If I ignored them that would come back and bite me in the ass. I should know cause that has happened to me before. So I well just spend as much time with them as I can. And now I am not going to think about it anymore and go back to sleep.' She thought miserably. With that she rolled over, pulled her covers up around her and fell back to a peaceful sleep.
Okay, well that is just the beginning. I have a lot planned for this one. Please review, I want to know your opinion. And those that are reading my fic, When Angels Cry, I am going through a writer's block on that so please be patient. And review I like to hear from you.
