this one just as much.
AN Liz: I am really glad that some are enjoying this but I really would like some more feedback. Constructive criticism would be really nice. But other than that, thanks for reading and please review. And on that note here is the chapter.
C-chan: ALRIGHTY! I'm back in action now! *drum role* Not that you people really care...for I am but a lowly beta...*cries* Oh well...
-Chapter 1-
Julie did in fact spend as much time as she could with the Ducks and Coach Bombay. Coach Orion had to quit because of family issues during their sophomore year, so Coach Bombay took over. They had all decided not to think about being separated until they absolutely had to. Instead, they had as much fun as possible. The Ducks went out with a bang winning the State Championship and going to Nationals (AN: I don't know if Hockey goes to Nationals, but swimming does, and I am a swimmer not a Hockey player. Besides this is my fic, so if they don't go to Nationals just bear with me.) and winning there as well. When they came back it was time to get ready for finals and graduation. It hit Julie hard; after graduation they were going to be separated. She also realized that she was going to have to live in a dorm with a roommate that she didn't even know. Charlie told his mom and she agreed to let Julie live with her considering she didn't live far from the school. It was only about three weeks later that the Ducks left.
Now, three months later, Julie was sitting in her Physical Fitness only half-listening to the professor. She already knew all this stuff anyway. She was acing the class, so she really didn't care.
She thought about the Ducks, wondering how they were all doing. She knew that their season had been going pretty well; she just didn't know how the players themselves were. She didn't get to talk to them often since they were pretty busy. She sighed.
'God I miss playing.' She thought sadly to herself.
She had decided not to play hockey because she just didn't think it would be the same without her team. The bell finally rang, thus ending the class.
'Thank God, I thought that class was never going to end!' She thought gleefully.
She got her stuff and started walking out the door when someone grabbed her arm. She turned around to see who it was and rolled her eyes.
"What do you want Randell?" She snapped.
"You know what I want; I want you to go out with me." He said, leering at the petite, yet well-built blonde.
"Well, you're not going to get what you want; I'm taken. Understand? T-A-K- E-N." She snapped back at him and started to walk off.
"YEAH RIGHT!!!" He laughed, "Your so called 'boyfriend' is in Arizona playing Hockey. For all you know he could be doing it with a cheerleader. Besides, he isn't even your boyfriend anymore; you broke up when he left."
Julie had to take a deep breath to try and calm herself down, in order not to turn around and slam him into the wall.
"Yes Randell, you're right about him being in Arizona playing hockey and about us breaking up when he left. But Randell, the cheerleader part, your wrong about that. You know why Randell? Because Charlie isn't the type to go after a moron like a cheerleader. Besides I live with his mother, and I do plan to transfer to Arizona." She told him, still trying to talk her self out of checking him in to the wall.
"Whatever, just because you are living with his mother and plan to transfer, doesn't mean that he would tell you if he was going out with anyone. You two are broken up, have been for three months, get over it Julie." He said sarcastically, which did it for Julie. She turned around and with all her strength slammed Randell in the wall.
"SHUT THE HELL UP RANDALL!!!! Charlie and I have known each other for EIGHT years, been dating for six. I think I know him a little better that you do. So don't go around and telling me to get over Charlie. The only reason we broke up was because we were going to be so far away from each other. He calls me every night that he doesn't have a game, tells me what's going on at school, and tells me that he still loves me. So quit telling me what I should do about Charlie. Do you understand?" She yelled at him still pinning him into the wall. He nodded and she back up a little bit.
"Oh, and one more thing. I haven't told him about you bugging me. But if I were to tell him, he would do a lot more than just check you into the wall." She said smugly and started walking off. He rolled his eyes.
"Whatever Julie; he can't hurt me; he is about ten thousand miles from here." He said kind of laughing and rubbing his head, "And were the hell did you learn to check someone like that? Your not big enough to be a hockey player." The next thing he knew he was once again against the wall.
"YES I AM! I told you that Charlie and I met on our hockey team, the Ducks. My team calls me 'the Cat' because I am so fast. They also say that I am not afraid of anything and have a quick temper. But I think you just found that part out. As for Charlie not being here, in about three days him and the rest of the Ducks are playing a game about four hours from here. He will be close and won't hesitate to come and beat the crap out of you if you don't quit following me around." She said this time not bothering to move, pinning him against the wall.
"But you are just a girl!!! Girls don't play hockey." He said, obviously not knowing when to quit.
"Why you little bastard!!!! YES GIRLS DO PLAY HOCKEY!!! Do you think that guys are the only ones that are supposed to play sports? Well if you do, then you are wrong. Because I know some that are better than some guys. Girls don't play Hockey, why I oughtta...." She was about to start up again when she was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Julie Ann Gaffney!!! Calm down." The person said, "And let him go. Girl you need to get back to hockey."
She turned around and looked up at they guy that so rudely interrupted her from knocking the crap out of this guy. But when she saw who it was she forgot about Randell. "COACH!!!!"
"Hey Jules. This guy bothering you?" He asked glaring at the guy.
"Huh? Oh yeahm he was...but I was putting him in his place." She said grinning sweetly. "What are you doing here? Are the rest of the guys here? Is Charlie here?" she asked with a glimmer of hope.
"Calm down Jules. I can only answer one question at a time. I'm here because I have been worried about you and how you were doing being out of hockey. Obviously you are keeping in shape, or you are in your checking abilities anyways." He said teasingly earning himself a glare. "There were also a couple other things I wanted to take care of. But that can wait until later. As for were the rest of the team is...they are in Arizona. They don't know I am here, and don't you tell them either. Hmmm...that should answer both those last two questions."
She had perked up a little when he said he had been worried about her. However, she was a little confused about why the rest of the team wasn't there since they had a game close by in a couple days.
"Couch, why aren't they here? Casey told me that they had a game that it was going to be close by." she asked.
"Well, we did...but something came up and we had to cancel the game. " he explained to her. Her face fell; she had really wanted to see the team.
"So they aren't going to be here at all? You just came to see me?" She said, trying to keep the hurt from showing. Any ordinary person that had only known Julie for a short while wouldn't have seen that she was just acting. But Bombay had known her for eight years, and knew exactly want his favorite goalie was going through right now. He wrapped her up in his arms
"No Julie, they aren't here. Just me." He said, "They don't know I am even here. I didn't tell them because I didn't want them to know. Besides, if my plan works, they are all in for a surprise."
"Surprise? What surprise?" She asked perking up a little bit.
"Well, you see...I just have one goalie, and I need a second one. I am going to tell them that I really want you, and ask them if they would allow you to transfer. " He said smiling.
"OH MY GOSH!!! You mean it?! That would be awesome!!! I hate it here. I miss playing, being with a team...being with MY team. I miss you guys!!!" she jabbered.
"You miss us, or you miss Charlie?" He asked teasingly and once again got a glare. "I will take that as a both."
"That's going to take several days isn't it? You had to have told the team SOMETHING..." She said ignoring his remark.
"Actually, I wasn't very truthful with you a while ago; I should have told you that I had already asked for a transfer for you. They are in the process of approving it right now. It should only take a couple of days at most. But as for what I told the team, I told them I had some business to take care of." When he told him this her eyes got bigger it if was possible.
"You mean in a couple days I might be playing goalie again?" She squealed and he just nodded. "But what about Casey? She will be left alone."
"I talked to her about it. As long as she gets visits, she doesn't mind." He explained." She is actually very happy that you will get to be back on the team. She told me that you cry every time you watch us, and get all excited when you see Charlie." She grinned when he said that.
"Okay then, I guess I am 100% ready to go." She stated, and he laughed.
"Now Julie, we have to wait for them to approve it, which they said they would. However, it still has to go through the process. Then you have to pack. Then I think you will 100% ready to go." He said matter-of-factly.
"Okay then, in THAT case, I am 75% ready to go." She replied perkily and he laughed. They walked off and decided to go pick Casey up and go out to eat. During dinner, Julie and Casey had a blast hearing what Charlie, Guy, Portman, and Fulton had been doing to get themselves into trouble. They heard about pranks, fights, and practices. They had an all-around good time.
Okay, that is it for tonight. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Let me tell you having Julie check a guy into the wall was very fun. Please review...I want to know what you think!
