Notes: Long time no update I know. But I hope to get up another chapter after this. A lot of things have happened between D2 and D3, as you'll see in the following chapters. This chapter is short but the 3rd chapter is long. This is almost nothing like D3. There will be Varsity but they'll almost be background characters.
"Adam? Are you ready to go? I told Wanda I'd meet her at the mall at ten." Christina yelled from downstairs.
Adam packed another shirt in his trunk before locking it. He opened his hockey bag once more to make sure he had all of his hockey gear. "I'll be downstairs in a couple of minutes!" He yelled back.
He took one more glance at his room. He looked at his shelves, which were covered with trophies and medals. He picked up one of the picture frames and grinned. Those were good times. They were going to have a great time at Eden Hall. They had all been looking forward to it ever since they were offered scholarships.
"Adam!" Christina yelled again.
Adam grabbed his trunk and hockey bag and headed downstairs. He found Christina standing there looking impatient. He grabbed an apple from the fruit basket and followed her outside. He got into her sister's Neon.
"So are you ready to go back and be with the Ducks?" Christina asked.
Adam wrinkled his nose a bit. "They probably forgot all about me. I haven't heard from them in two years. I never even heard from Jesse. As soon as I was dropped from the team they dropped me."
"Adam it's a two way street. You didn't contact them either." She reminded him.
"Yeah I know." Adam sighed. He thought about the phone call that had changed everything.
Adam had just gotten home from seeing the doctor, who had said exactly what the doctor in Los Angeles had said. He'd have his wrist in a cast for two months. He should have known.
The phone rang.
"Adam it's for you." Martha said coming into the room handing him the cordless.
"Hello?" Adam asked.
"Adam Banks? This is Timothy Christopherson with the American Junior Hockey League Junior Goodwill Games Division. I'm sure you heard about the tour the Ducks have been scheduled for."
"Yes." Bombay had told all of them before they boarded the plane for home.
"I have some bad news for you. After a lot of deliberation and talking to your doctor, we have come up with a decision I think is fair to all involved. Adam I'm sorry to tell you, you have been dropped from the team. We had one too many hockey players, and since you are injured it makes sense that you are dropped. I am sorry. If we could keep you we would." He hung up.
Adam stood there speechless. He couldn't believe this was happening. He had been dropped from the team. This couldn't get any worse. He didn't know how he would possible tell his father what had happened. His dad would be more irate then he felt.
"Hey Adam! We are here." Christina said getting his attention.
"I changed my mind Chris. I can't face them. They probably forgot about me."
Christina actually started laughing. "Even so Adam you have your other friends. You guys have been friends for awhile now. And if the Ducks don't like you, I'll have Keith beat them up." This time even Adam smiled. Keith Hawkinson was on the Varsity team and also Christina's ex-boyfriend. Actually the Banks' and Hawkinson's had known each other ever since Jeffrey Banks and Bryson Hawkinson had played on the Hawks together. So hearing that made him feel a little better.
He took his trunk and hockey bag. Christian followed him carrying his boxes. They found his dorm in Riley Hall, which was the athletics dorm. He found his room and put everything down. He picked the bed nearest to the window. His roommate was obviously not there yet. He hoped it was one of the All Stars and not one of the...
"Oh no! It's the cake eater!"
