Chapter Seven
Talking and Memories Part 2
Hey guys, here is the second part of Talking and Memories. Sorry it took so long, I was having to figure out how to do it. I hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoyed the first part. Please review if you can, and thanks to everyone that has reviewed so far.
Note To My Reviewers:
DuckHockey00214496: LOL don't worry, I am not going to stop writing it. I don't really know what I was thinking when I posted that a/n. I guess I was have a 'lapse of sanity,' as one of my friends would say. I am having way to much fun writing this to stop, so you don't have to worry. I am glad that you are enjoying it. Thanks for reviewing and here is the next chapter.
C-chan96: I knew you would love it(. I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. Specially when Charlie made the 'perverted comment.' That part was so much fun. I also had fun on the flash backs and torturing Julie. I like making her check guys into the wall. Oh you think she is abused now, (, but with all this abuse will come allot of love and sweetness, and more of Charlie to the rescue (. Well I am glad you liked it, and here is the next part(. No hablo frances. Hablo English Y espanol un poco. ( Figure out what I said and I Just might make my next review to you fic longer. (
Banksiesbabe99: I am glad you liked it, especially the flashbacks. I was kindof nervous about those, and the Charlie acting like the perfect boyfriend. Well I probably did wrote it like that because of my lack of a boyfriend and I wrote him how I want my boyfriend to be. Although that probably wont happen. I am sure you are thinking "bitter much?" I don't know, I probably am. My last relationship ended up being crap, but I'm not going into that. I am really glad that you liked it so much, this chapter is the continuation of the last one and has at least one more flashback in it. Hope you like it, and thanks for reviewing. Oh and one more thing, I have a third julie/charlie fic, it's called When Angels Cry. Its kindof depressing but the reviewers seem to like it. So if you can, go read it. I think you will like it. (
RaspSun: I am glad that you like this story so much. I think that Julie and Charlie are so cute together, a lot better than Charlie and Linda. (Yuck, I can't stand her.) LOL I didn't realize that that part was like that song. I don't think that it is wrong because I did it to when I re- read it after I read your review. It probably didn't help when I put that Dawson's Creek part in either. LOL That part was fun. Well here is the next part, hope you like it and I will talk to you later.
Ok now for the chapter, hope you guys like it. Please review if you can.
Charlie lead Julie out of the restaurant and to his car, were he opened the door for her and handed the food boxes with their hamburgers in them, to her. He then shut the door and walked around to his side and got in. Before he started the car or put his seat belt on he turned and looked at her. She was staring out her door window, but he could tell that she was still really pale, and he thought he heard her sniffing. He reached over and gently took her hand in his, which caused her to turn from the window and look at him. She gave him a weak smile, but he could tell something was defiantly wrong, cause she was crying. Julie didn't cry over anything unless something was really bothering her.
"Julie, what's wrong sweetie?" He asked her gently.
"Nothing." She said, wiping her tears away.
"Yes there is, because you are crying and you don't cry over just anything." He said, "Now what's wrong?"
"Why do guys not take no for an answer? I don't mean all guys, cause obviously you and the rest of the team aren't like that. But I mean like other guys like Randall and that guy back there. Don't they understand that when we say no that we mean no? Don't they know what no means? And that when they don't respect that that it hurts our feelings." Julie said and Charlie's jaw dropped because in all the eight years that he had known her, he had never heard her say more than one sentence at a time, when she didn't have to or didn't want to. She wasn't all that shy, she was just really quite. He finally shock himself out of his thoughts and squeezed her hand.
"They don't take no for a answer because they are selfish bastards that are just thinking about what they want. They don't think or care about what the girls' wants, or about their feelings. And what I have heard about Randall, he is the classic example of that description. But Jules, I just want you to know that I won't ever do that to you. If I do something that you don't want me to, tell me and I will stop, Ok?" He asked her and she grinned at him softly and nodded.
"Charlie, I know that you wouldn't do that because I trust you. But hearing you say that, that you wont do that to me, I trust you more." She told him and reached over and hugged him. "Thank you."
"Your welcome sweetie. I'm glad to know that you trust me." He replied hugging her back. "Now what do you say about going home, eating our lunch, and talking some more?" He asked her.
"That sounds great." She said yawning.
He smiled back at her and then put his seat belt on and started the car. Their drive back to the dorms was a quite, but peaceful one. When they got there Charlie and Julie got out and went into the dorm and to Charlie's room.
"Hey Jules, stay here for a minute, I'll be back in a few minutes. I'm going to talk to the rest of the team real quick, ok?" He told her. She looked at him for a second and nodded, but never said anything. He smiled at her and bent down and gave her a quick kiss. "Be back in a few minutes, sweetie." He told her before he walked out. After he had left, Julie decided to go and lay down on his bed. She wanted to rest while he was gone.
After he had left Julie in his room, Charlie went and found the rest of the team and told them to go to the activity room, which was in the middle of the building. After everyone was there he decided to tell them what was going on.
"Hey guys, I guess you are wondering why I got you all in here." He said grinning as they all nodded, " Well Julie and I didn't get to talk much wall-a-go. The reason for that is, well to make a long story short, Julie got jumped on by a guy on her way back from the bathroom at the restaurant we went to, and afterwards she wanted to go home. So we got boxes and came back. Now to the real reason I got you all here. Since we didn't get to talk all that much, I was wondering if you guys could let us talk alone in my room for a while. PLEASE?!?!?!" He asked them, with a pleading look. They all agreed and nodded.
"Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I promise that y'all can have her most of the day tomorrow." He said smiling, and they all laughed.
"Hey Charlie? Did ya get to talk at all?" Averman asked.
"Yes we did." Charlie said trying to think of some way to kill Averman.
"Then did you decided it you two are going to get back together now or later?" He asked again and Charlie rolled his eyes.
"Yes Averman we did. In the time we got to talk we did decide. Yes we decided that we would get back together not. So that means we are back together. If you want more details, I'll tell you latter, but right now I would like to get back to her so that we can talk some more. Is that ok Averman?" He said ticked of at the fact that he had originally planed to tell everyone at practice with Julie. But because of Averman's big mouth and his obnoxious curiosity, that plan had been blown out the window.
"Yea that is fine." Averman said, "Don't have to get mad at me Charlie."
"Well I am because I had planned on telling everyone at practice with Julie. But because of your never ending questions, I already did that. So there isn't really any point in telling them at practice with Julie, now is there?" Charlie snapped.
"No Charlie, I'm sorry man." Averman said, looking at his feet and feeling bad for ruining Charlie's plan. Charlie gave Averman a pat on the back.
"I forgive you man, but I am not so sure that Julie will." Charlie said to him and laughed at Averman's expression. "What you scared of the 'cat lady'?" Charlie asked.
"No." Averman lied and Charlie laughed as did the rest of the team.
"Well that's good and all but I had better go before she thinks that I forgot about her." Charlie said and the rest of the team again laughed. He waved to them and turned around and went back to his room. When he got there and went inside he saw Julie curled up in a ball on his bed. He smiled and went over to the bed and covered her up. Seeing her curled up like this made him remember the day that the him and the rest of the team left for Arizona.
*** Flashback***
Charlie walked into Julie's room the day that he and the rest of the team was leaving for college. He looked down at her curled up in a ball, fast asleep. He bent down and covered her up better, then sat down at the end of the bed to watch her sleep. After a while she started to wake up, and when she opened her eyes and saw that Charlie was there siting on her bed she smiled. He smiled back and reached down and pulled her into his lap for a hug. While she was in his lap she remembered that today was the day that Charlie and the rest of the team left and started crying. He just held her closer and tighter not able to say anything, and didn't think saying anything would help her, feel better. What she needed right now was for him to hold her and that is what he did. She soon calmed down for a while and he realized that it was time for them to start getting ready to leave. He gave her one more squeeze and then told her to get ready, he was going to get his stuff together. She didn't really want to get ready yet cause she knew when she did that it would be closer to when he had to leave. But she got up and got her favorite pair of jeans and her Ducks jersey out and put them on, along with her socks and shoes. She then put her hair up into her usual two braids and left her room. She went into the living room and saw Casey siting on the couch. She walked over and set down next to her.
"Hey Julie." Casey said giving her a warm smile.
"Hi Casey." Julie said, returning her smile but it wasn't one of her trademarks. "Where's Charlie?"
"He is putting the last of his things in the car, he'll be back in a couple minutes." Casey told her then asked, "Julie are you ok?"
"No, not really. I just realized a couple days ago that this really wasn't a dream and that they were really living. My team, all my friends, is leaving today, and I don't know if I can get through it. I know, I know, I am supposed to be the tough one right? 'The Cat Lady' that isn't scared of anything. But this is one time I don't know if I can pull that description off." She said looking at Casey with tears running down her face. Because I am scared, I am scared of not having them with me and that they will forget me cause we are so far apart. I'm scared that I wont get to transfer and that I'll never get to play with them again. Oh, and the worst fear, is that Charlie will find someone else that he likes more than me."
"Julie, its going to be ok. We well get through this together. Ok? And your team isn't going to forget you, they love you to much. Especially Charlie, who wont find someone else. I promise." She said pulling Julie into her arms. "And you don't always have to be the brave one, ok? No one expects you to"
"How do you know that he wont find anyone else?" Julie asked pathetically.
"Because the last few days he has been worried sick about how you are going to be after they leave. He loves you Julie, he really does." Casey told her. Julie looked at her for a couple minutes and started crying again and Casey just held her closer. A few minutes later Charlie came back and saw them hugging, he walked over and stood infront of them for a couple minutes, before Julie looked at him and he saw her red, puffy eyes. He immediately bent down and wrapped her up in his arms and held her for a few minutes.
"Charlie, sweetie, we really need to go." Casey told her son. He looked at her and nodded, then let go of Julie and went to his room to make sure he had everything. He then came back and nodded to his mom and walked over and helped Julie up. Then him, Casey and Julie left the apartment and headed to the airport. The car ride wasn't long and they were quite the whole time. When they got there Charlie got his bags out and they went and checked him in and headed to his gate. When they got there they saw the rest of the team waiting around the gate and looking for them. When they saw him they all went to him and Julie and did their usual hi fiving. But Julie wasn't into it this time, it was hitting her harder that they were really leaving. Connie saw this and pushed the other guys away and took her over to sit down for a little while. They talked about everything, except about them leaving. They laughed about their memories, and pranks that they had done together. After a while Charlie left his mom and walked over to Connie and Julie.
"Hey Connie, I need to talk to Julie for a couple minutes." Charlie told Connie.
"Ok, I'll go talk to Guy." She said and then walked over to Guy. Julie watched her go and then looked up at Charlie.
"Hey Charlie." She said softly.
"Hey Julie." Charlie said back to her. He pulled her up out of the chair she was sitting in and leads her a little ways away from the gate, and the prying eyes of the team.
"Charlie what is it?" She asked him after they stopped walking. But instead of saying anything he leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss. When he pulls away he gives her a loving smile.
"Julie, I don't want to do this, because I love you and I know you love me. But because of us being so far away from each other, I think that we should ...break up. It'll be less stressful and then when you transfer over to Arizona we can get back together." He told her watching her face crumple up in pain. He pulled her to him in a hug. "I don't want to do this Julie, but I think tell you get there it'll be better for us. I still love you, I want you to know that. Ok? And just because we broke up doesn't mean we have to date. But if you want to go out with someone, its fine with me, weather it is as friends or more. But you don't have to if you don't want to. I'll call you as much as possible ok?" She nodded calming down a little after he said that, knowing that it was just temporary. A few minutes later they heard the announcement that they were starting boarding. Charlie hugged her one more time and lead her towards the rest of the team. When they got there Charlie left Julie to go and talk to his mom, and let her say goodbye to the rest of the team. She went and hugged each of them one at a time, being able to hold back her tears most of the time. It was when she got to Guy that she started crying. She realized that Connie, Portman, Charlie and Fulton where left and started crying more. Along with Guy they were the ones that she was the closest to. Portman, Fulton and Guy were like her big brothers and Connie was like a sister, and well Charlie, that's a given. When Guy saw her start crying he hugged a little more.
"It's going to be ok, Julie." He said.
"I know. I know, its just hard." Julie said and hugged Guy one last time. Then she turned to Connie.
"I'm going to miss you girl." Julie said, trying not to cry.
"Same here Julie, Same here." Connie said pulling her friend into a hug. "But hey remember the song we mad up, for Charlie when we were so bored?" Connie asked her and Julie nodded. " When you start missing us sing it. Ok?" Julie nodded.
"Ok." She said smiling again.
"Good, why don't we sing it one more time hmm?" Connie asked, "For old times." The rest of the team cheered while Charlie groaned.
"OK." Julie said and then started singing,
"Charlie, Charlie, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, you are my favorite guy," She began
"And were all asking her why," Connie sang with her,
"If I were a couple years older I would marry you," Julie continued singing
"And you know its true" Connie sang behind her
"It just wouldn't be the mighty ducks with out you," Julie sang the last of her part
"And you know its true." Connie finished. Julie cracked up laughing
"I'm going to miss that." She said.
"yea me to." Connie said hugging her again. Before Julie went on to the Bash Brothers. They ingulfed her in a huge hug. But they didn't say anything because there hug said it all. They hugged her one last time and pushed her towards Charlie. Charlie picked her up and twirled her around.
" I love you Julie, and I am going to miss you like crazy. But remember what I said, I am going to call you as much as possible ok?" He said and she nodded tears streaming down her face. He whipped them and way and bent down and kissed her.
"I have my own version of your song I want to sing. OK?" he said to her and she nodded.
"Julie, Julie, Bum bum bum bum bum, you are my favorite girl, and they all know why.
If you were a couple years older, I would marry you, And they know it's true. It just wont be the ducks with out you, Oh, you know its true." He finished and she grinned. Just then they announce the last boarding call and he turns to her and kisses her and hugs her one last time
"I have to go now baby." He said whipping some more tears from her face.
"I know." She said savoring his touch, he hugs her one more time.
"Call you when I get there, Ok?" He asked and she nodded. He then turned around and started for the gate. She watches him and the rest of her family, as she had come to know them over the years go to the gate and hand their tickets to the girl, as Charlie handed the ticket and went out of site she started crying.
*** End Flashback***
Charlie came out of his thoughts with Julie waking up and moving around. He smiled at her when she opened her eyes and say him. He then pulled her into his lap and hugged her close to him. After they set in silence for awhile, with Julie in his lap and him leaning against the wall, they started talking. She told him about how she had been doing in school back in Minnesota and about how much she had missed him, the team, and playing hockey. He smiled and told her that she was back with them and that didn't have to happen any more. She grinned and nodded, and continued to tell him about Randall and how he kept begging her to go with him and about him not believing that she played hockey. She told him about checking him in to the wall twice and he cracked up. He then told her about everything at Arizona and how everything went, what classes he was in, which ones he like and which ones he hatted. She laughed at that and then noticed what time it was.
"Charlie? It's time to go to practice." She said still snuggled up to him.
"Yea it is. Come on lets go. I think our bags are in the car still." He said and helped her up. She nodded and wrapped an arm around his waist as he did the same thing to him. They walked out of the room and down to his car where they got inside and went to practice, both happier then they had been in a long time.

Charlie lead Julie out of the restaurant and to his car, were he opened the door for her and handed the food boxes with their hamburgers in them, to her. He then shut the door and walked around to his side and got in. Before he started the car or put his seat belt on he turned and looked at her. She was staring out her door window, but he could tell that she was still really pale, and he thought he heard her sniffing. He reached over and gently took her hand in his, which caused her to turn from the window and look at him. She gave him a weak smile, but he could tell something was defiantly wrong, cause she was crying. Julie didn't cry over anything unless something was really bothering her.
"Julie, what's wrong sweetie?" He asked her gently.
"Nothing." She said, wiping her tears away.
"Yes there is, because you are crying and you don't cry over just anything." He said, "Now what's wrong?"
"Why do guys not take no for an answer? I don't mean all guys, cause obviously you and the rest of the team aren't like that. But I mean like other guys like Randall and that guy back there. Don't they understand that when we say no that we mean no? Don't they know what no means? And that when they don't respect that that it hurts our feelings."

She wasn't all that shy, she was just really quite. He finally shock himself out of his thoughts and squeezed her hand.
"They don't take no for a answer because they are selfish bastards that are just thinking about what they want. They don't think or care about what the girls' wants, or about their feelings.

"Your welcome sweetie. I'm glad to know that you trust me." He replied hugging her back. "Now what do you say about going home, eating our lunch, and talking some more?" He asked her.
"That sounds great." She said yawning.
He smiled back at her and then put his seat belt on and started the car. Their drive back to the dorms was a quite, but peaceful one. When they got there Charlie and Julie got out and went into the dorm and to Charlie's room.
"Hey Jules, stay here for a minute, I'll be back in a few minutes. I'm going to talk to the rest of the team real quick, ok?" He told her. She looked at him for a second and nodded, but never said anything. He smiled at her and bent down and gave her a quick kiss. "Be back in a few minutes, sweetie." He told her before he walked out. After he had left, Julie decided to go and lay down on his bed. She wanted to rest while he was gone.
After he had left Julie in his room, Charlie went and found the rest of the team and told them to go to the activity room, which was in the middle of the building. After everyone was there he decided to tell them what was going on.
"Hey guys, I guess you are wondering why I got you all in here." He said grinning as they all nodded, " Well Julie and I didn't get to talk much wall-a-go. The reason for that is, well to make a long story short, Julie got jumped on by a guy on her way back from the bathroom at the restaurant we went to, and afterwards she wanted to go home. So we got boxes and came back. Now to the real reason I got you all here. Since we didn't get to talk all that much, I was wondering if you guys could let us talk alone in my room for a while. PLEASE?!?!?!" He asked them, with a pleading look. They all agreed and nodded.
"Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I promise that y'all can have her most of the day tomorrow." He said smiling, and they all laughed.
"Hey Charlie? Did ya get to talk at all?" Averman asked.
"Yes we did." Charlie said trying to think of some way to kill Averman.
"Then did you decided it you two are going to get back together now or later?" He asked again and Charlie rolled his eyes.
"Yes Averman we did. In the time we got to talk we did decide. Yes we decided that we would get back together not. So that means we are back together. If you want more details, I'll tell you latter, but right now I would like to get back to her so that we can talk some more. Is that ok Averman?" He said ticked of at the fact that he had originally planed to tell everyone at practice with Julie. But because of Averman's big mouth and his obnoxious curiosity, that plan had been blown out the window.
"Yea that is fine." Averman said, "Don't have to get mad at me Charlie."
"Well I am because I had planned on telling everyone at practice with Julie. But because of your never ending questions, I already did that. So there isn't really any point in telling them at practice with Julie, now is there?" Charlie snapped.
"No Charlie, I'm sorry man." Averman said, looking at his feet and feeling bad for ruining Charlie's plan. Charlie gave Averman a pat on the back.
"I forgive you man, but I am not so sure that Julie will." Charlie said to him and laughed at Averman's expression. "What you scared of the 'cat lady'?" Charlie asked.
"No." Averman lied and Charlie laughed as did the rest of the team.
"Well that's good and all but I had better go before she thinks that I forgot about her." Charlie said and the rest of the team again laughed. He waved to them and turned around and went back to his room. When he got there and went inside he saw Julie curled up in a ball on his bed. He smiled and went over to the bed and covered her up. Seeing her curled up like this made him remember the day that the him and the rest of the team left for Arizona.
*** Flashback***
Charlie walked into Julie's room the day that he and the rest of the team was leaving for college. He looked down at her curled up in a ball, fast asleep. He bent down and covered her up better, then sat down at the end of the bed to watch her sleep. After a while she started to wake up, and when she opened her eyes and saw that Charlie was there siting on her bed she smiled. He smiled back and reached down and pulled her into his lap for a hug. While she was in his lap she remembered that today was the day that Charlie and the rest of the team left and started crying. He just held her closer and tighter not able to say anything, and didn't think saying anything would help her, feel better. What she needed right now was for him to hold her and that is what he did. She soon calmed down for a while and he realized that it was time for them to start getting ready to leave. He gave her one more squeeze and then told her to get ready, he was going to get his stuff together. She didn't really want to get ready yet cause she knew when she did that it would be closer to when he had to leave. But she got up and got her favorite pair of jeans and her Ducks jersey out and put them on, along with her socks and shoes. She then put her hair up into her usual two braids and left her room. She went into the living room and saw Casey siting on the couch. She walked over and set down next to her.
"Hey Julie." Casey said giving her a warm smile.
"Hi Casey." Julie said, returning her smile but it wasn't one of her trademarks. "Where's Charlie?"
"He is putting the last of his things in the car, he'll be back in a couple minutes." Casey told her then asked, "Julie are you ok?"
"No, not really. I just realized a couple days ago that this really wasn't a dream and that they were really living. My team, all my friends, is leaving today, and I don't know if I can get through it. I know, I know, I am supposed to be the tough one right? 'The Cat Lady' that isn't scared of anything. But this is one time I don't know if I can pull that description off." She said looking at Casey with tears running down her face. Because I am scared, I am scared of not having them with me and that they will forget me cause we are so far apart. I'm scared that I wont get to transfer and that I'll never get to play with them again. Oh, and the worst fear, is that Charlie will find someone else that he likes more than me."
"Julie, its going to be ok. We well get through this together. Ok? And your team isn't going to forget you, they love you to much. Especially Charlie, who wont find someone else. I promise." She said pulling Julie into her arms. "And you don't always have to be the brave one, ok? No one expects you to"
"How do you know that he wont find anyone else?" Julie asked pathetically.
"Because the last few days he has been worried sick about how you are going to be after they leave. He loves you Julie, he really does." Casey told her. Julie looked at her for a couple minutes and started crying again and Casey just held her closer. A few minutes later Charlie came back and saw them hugging, he walked over and stood infront of them for a couple minutes, before Julie looked at him and he saw her red, puffy eyes. He immediately bent down and wrapped her up in his arms and held her for a few minutes.
"Charlie, sweetie, we really need to go." Casey told her son. He looked at her and nodded, then let go of Julie and went to his room to make sure he had everything. He then came back and nodded to his mom and walked over and helped Julie up. Then him, Casey and Julie left the apartment and headed to the airport. The car ride wasn't long and they were quite the whole time. When they got there Charlie got his bags out and they went and checked him in and headed to his gate. When they got there they saw the rest of the team waiting around the gate and looking for them. When they saw him they all went to him and Julie and did their usual hi fiving. But Julie wasn't into it this time, it was hitting her harder that they were really leaving. Connie saw this and pushed the other guys away and took her over to sit down for a little while. They talked about everything, except about them leaving. They laughed about their memories, and pranks that they had done together. After a while Charlie left his mom and walked over to Connie and Julie.
"Hey Connie, I need to talk to Julie for a couple minutes." Charlie told Connie.
"Ok, I'll go talk to Guy." She said and then walked over to Guy. Julie watched her go and then looked up at Charlie.
"Hey Charlie." She said softly.
"Hey Julie." Charlie said back to her. He pulled her up out of the chair she was sitting in and leads her a little ways away from the gate, and the prying eyes of the team.
"Charlie what is it?" She asked him after they stopped walking. But instead of saying anything he leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss. When he pulls away he gives her a loving smile.
"Julie, I don't want to do this, because I love you and I know you love me. But because of us being so far away from each other, I think that we should ...break up. It'll be less stressful and then when you transfer over to Arizona we can get back together." He told her watching her face crumple up in pain. He pulled her to him in a hug. "I don't want to do this Julie, but I think tell you get there it'll be better for us. I still love you, I want you to know that. Ok? And just because we broke up doesn't mean we have to date. But if you want to go out with someone, its fine with me, weather it is as friends or more. But you don't have to if you don't want to. I'll call you as much as possible ok?" She nodded calming down a little after he said that, knowing that it was just temporary. A few minutes later they heard the announcement that they were starting boarding. Charlie hugged her one more time and lead her towards the rest of the team. When they got there Charlie left Julie to go and talk to his mom, and let her say goodbye to the rest of the team. She went and hugged each of them one at a time, being able to hold back her tears most of the time. It was when she got to Guy that she started crying. She realized that Connie, Portman, Charlie and Fulton where left and started crying more. Along with Guy they were the ones that she was the closest to. Portman, Fulton and Guy were like her big brothers and Connie was like a sister, and well Charlie, that's a given. When Guy saw her start crying he hugged a little more.
"It's going to be ok, Julie." He said.
"I know. I know, its just hard." Julie said and hugged Guy one last time. Then she turned to Connie.
"I'm going to miss you girl." Julie said, trying not to cry.
"Same here Julie, Same here." Connie said pulling her friend into a hug. "But hey remember the song we mad up, for Charlie when we were so bored?" Connie asked her and Julie nodded. " When you start missing us sing it. Ok?" Julie nodded.
"Ok." She said smiling again.
"Good, why don't we sing it one more time hmm?" Connie asked, "For old times." The rest of the team cheered while Charlie groaned.
"OK." Julie said and then started singing,
"Charlie, Charlie, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, you are my favorite guy," She began
"And were all asking her why," Connie sang with her,
"If I were a couple years older I would marry you," Julie continued singing
"And you know its true" Connie sang behind her
"It just wouldn't be the mighty ducks with out you," Julie sang the last of her part
"And you know its true." Connie finished. Julie cracked up laughing
"I'm going to miss that." She said.
"yea me to." Connie said hugging her again. Before Julie went on to the Bash Brothers. They ingulfed her in a huge hug. But they didn't say anything because there hug said it all. They hugged her one last time and pushed her towards Charlie. Charlie picked her up and twirled her around.
" I love you Julie, and I am going to miss you like crazy. But remember what I said, I am going to call you as much as possible ok?" He said and she nodded tears streaming down her face. He whipped them and way and bent down and kissed her.
"I have my own version of your song I want to sing. OK?" he said to her and she nodded.
"Julie, Julie, Bum bum bum bum bum, you are my favorite girl, and they all know why.
If you were a couple years older, I would marry you, And they know it's true. It just wont be the ducks with out you, Oh, you know its true." He finished and she grinned. Just then they announce the last boarding call and he turns to her and kisses her and hugs her one last time
"I have to go now baby." He said whipping some more tears from her face.
"I know." She said savoring his touch, he hugs her one more time.
"Call you when I get there, Ok?" He asked and she nodded. He then turned around and started for the gate. She watches him and the rest of her family, as she had come to know them over the years go to the gate and hand their tickets to the girl, as Charlie handed the ticket and went out of site she started crying.
*** End Flashback***
Charlie came out of his thoughts with Julie waking up and moving around. He smiled at her when she opened her eyes and say him. He then pulled her into his lap and hugged her close to him. After they set in silence for awhile, with Julie in his lap and him leaning against the wall, they started talking. She told him about how she had been doing in school back in Minnesota and about how much she had missed him, the team, and playing hockey. He smiled and told her that she was back with them and that didn't have to happen any more. She grinned and nodded, and continued to tell him about Randall and how he kept begging her to go with him and about him not believing that she played hockey. She told him about checking him in to the wall twice and he cracked up. He then told her about everything at Arizona and how everything went, what classes he was in, which ones he like and which ones he hatted. She laughed at that and then noticed what time it was.
"Charlie? It's time to go to practice." She said still snuggled up to him.
"Yea it is. Come on lets go. I think our bags are in the car still." He said and helped her up. She nodded and wrapped an arm around his waist as he did the same thing to him. They walked out of the room and down to his car where they got inside and went to practice, both happier then they had been in a long time.
