Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own the Mighty Ducks… though I wouldn't mind owning Portman, Charlie and Dwayne for a few days . Cadence and any other outside characters are all I own for now.
A/N: Thanks to my reviewers:
Beautyqueen321: I'm glad you think my story has potential! Thank you! I have a lot of ideas for this story, but I haven't written it all down yet. Lol. I'm working as fast as my mind will let me!
Tessie: Hopefully someone will write that Ken fic and then they'll all be covered. I always saw others thinking Dwayne was a moron just because he talks slow and gets confused sometimes. But we all know there's much more to him than that. And I love writing him, because his accent is so adorable and I can hear him talking as I write. Thanks so much for reviewing!
Luvhockeyboys-21n00: Thanks for the review! I'm trying to write as fast as I can without making it seem sloppy. I'm looking forward to reading "Dean's Story" as soon as you post it!
Cowboy Take Me Away
Five hours later Cadence walked through the doors of the Minneapolis airport with her purse and carry-on bag in hand. Her charcoal gray eyes searched the crowd for a familiar face. Where is he?
"Cady!" she heard a male voice call from behind her.
Cadence turned around and saw him. 6'2", dark brown eyes, dark brown hair tied back in a red bandana, a leather jacket covering his muscular frame. A lot of people thought he was gorgeous, others thought he was scary, but to her he was just her sweet, loveable, hockey-playing cousin.
"Dean!" Cadence yelled in reply as she pushed through the people that got in her way.
Dean Portman swung her around as they hugged each other. When he finally set her down he kissed the top of her head. He was more like a brother than a cousin to her. They'd always been close as kids when Portman lived in Virginia.
"How ya been shortness?" he joked.
Cadence stuck her tongue out in jest. "Just 'cause you're abnormally tall, doesn't mean I'm short!" she said punching him in the arm.
Dean slung his arm around Cadence's shoulders and grinned. "It's ok Cady. I still love you. Now let's get outta here."
Portman and Cadence stepped off the elevator on the third floor of the girl's dorms. They walked about half way down the secluded hall until stopping at room 322.
"So you'll be rooming with our two girl players—Connie and Julie. Connie is obsessed with her on again off again boyfriend Guy and Julie is obsessed with schoolwork. But they're pretty cool chicks." Portman explained before knocking on the door.
Cadence just nodded. Then the door flew open revealing two smiling teenage girls. One looked slightly more excited than the other. Cadence's eyes widened in surprise as the one girl started talking.
"Oh my gosh, you're so pretty! You must be Cadence! I'm Connie and this is Julie," the petite blonde exclaimed her smile never fading.
Julie smiled too, "hey."
Cadence just stood there. Wow this girl is happy, should keep my mind off things though. Okay. Now would be the time to say something.
Cadence waved. "Uh.. Hi, nice to meet you guys. Thanks for letting me room with you," She said nervously.
Julie laughed. "Don't worry about it, you might be dying to move out once you get to know us. Come in and we'll help you unpack," she said ushering Cadence in the door. "Portman, go away. We'll take it from here." Julie called over her shoulder.
"Bye Deanie," Cadence teased, poking her head out the door.
Portman glared and shot her the finger. At least she's fitting in with them. I'd better ask about her parents later.
Cadence laughed and repeated her cousin's earlier words. "It's ok Dean. I still love you."
A/N: Well that's the end of this chappie. Next chapter Cadence meets the rest of the Ducks and Dwayne will appear a few chapters later. Sorry if Dean was a little OOC. I think he'd act differently around his family than in the movies. As for Connie and Julie.. it's kinda hard for me to write them, but as Cady's roommates they'll appear quite a lot. I'm working on the next chappie! I'll try to update soon. Review please!
