The Best That You Can Be
PG-13 (just in case)
DISCLAIMER- I don't own the Mighty Ducks or the characters except for my own that I made up. If I did then well I would be rich and doing other stuff.
Chapter 13-
It was Sunday night and Cate sat in her dorm room writing in her journal. She kept a journal only to remind herself of all the big stuff that had been happening in her life. She was hoping that one day she could take all those journals and write a book on how life was as a duck. Cate loved to write and take pictures and hoped that one day those passions she had would help her in her career later on in life.
"Whatcha doing?" Julie asked as she came into the room and dropped her book bag on the floor by her bed.
"Nothing much, just writing down all the events of this weekend." Cate said as she finished another sentence in her journal and looked up at Julie.
"Oh, ok." Julie said. "Hey Connie's not back yet?"
"Umm she came by 20 minutes ago and mumbled something about an English assignment she forgot to write down.. I think she's down the hall talking to one of the girls on the tennis team who's in her class." Cate said as she stood up, walked over to her desk and placed her journal in a box.
"Can you believe all the homework that our teacher's have been giving us?" Julie said as she looked up at the ceiling.
"Well that's only cause we're in all those honor's class Cat Lady." Cate said as she bounced onto Julie bed.
"Yeah, but still…we are only freshman. I hate to see what senior year will be like." Julie said as she tried to make herself more comfortable on her bed.
"Personally I'm dreading tomorrow morning when the Varsity team finds us." Cate said.
Julie was about to comment when Connie came through the door with Alice and Karen at her heals.
"Ladies" Connie said.
"Hey" Julie and Cate said back.
Connie put her notebook down on Cate's desk and motioned Alice and Karen to sit down. "You don't have any plans for the next 30 minutes, do you?" Connie asked.
"Nope." Julie said.
"I plan on looking at the ceiling for the next two minutes then turn my thoughts to other places, but other than that no." Cate said and then was meet with a pillow at her face thrown by Connie.
"Good. Cause we are going to be having guests coming in the next two minutes." Connie said.
"What guests?" Julie said as she tried to sit up on her bed.
As she was doing that a knock was heard on the door and Alice went up to get the door. In walked the Female JV/Varsity Captains of the Tennis teams, Soccer Teams, Swim Teams, Volleyball Teams, Basketball, Softball, Water Polo, Track, Cross Country and Field Hockey Teams.
"Ok the meeting can start now." Connie said as she grabbed a pad of paper and a pen and tossed them to Karen.
"What meeting?" Cate said as the girls found places to sit in their room.
"Well tomorrow morning we, the Varsity and Junior Varsity Captains along with most of the male captains- except for the Varsity Hockey team- are going to approach the dean with the petitions that have been signed by all of our teammates- you two still need to sign by the way- and ask the dean to officially change our school mascot to the Ducks." The Varsity Basketball Captain- Amy said.
"Remember when we were looking at the yearbook in the library with Adam?" Connie said turning her attention to Cate. Cate nodded "Well, since our unofficial bet was heard by the majority of the school in the cafeteria two weeks ago- the rest of the teams decided that we should change the mascot back to a bird type animal."
"Ok." Cate said.
"The Varsity Hockey Team thinks that they are the Gods of this school. There are 10 other sports teams that have been state and league Champions as many times as they have been" Cara the Softball Captain said.
"Look at you guys- you have gold medals from the Junior Goodwill Games. Most of you will probably be picked to play in the Olympics even the Pros. You guys don't act like you own the school; you are trying to be a part of it. That's why we are going to the Dean to talk to him." Amy said.
"Do the boys know about this?" Julie asked as she looked over the petition that Karen handed over to her.
"They are having a similar meeting in the Soccer Captains room." Jodie the JV soccer captain said.
"Well I can't wait to see the expression on Riley's or the rest of his Hockey teams face when he finds out that this passes." Cate said as she took the petition away from Julie and signed her name.
"Ok, then it is settled. All the Captains will meet tomorrow morning to speak with the Dean at 7:30." Amy said as she stood up.
"By the end of the day we should know something." Cara said as the girls began to leave the room.
The girls got up to leave, calling out goodbyes and we'll let you know how things go as they walked out towards the hallways towards their own rooms.
"Man I wish I could be a fly on the wall to listen in at that meeting." Cate said as she walked over to her dresser and grabbed her pjs.
"Well Charlie will tell us what happened." Connie said as she walked into the bathroom.
"I hope so." Cate said.
The three girls got ready for bed and under their covers.
"Well whatever happens- I vote that we stay clear of Riley and company. You never know what they might do." Cate said as she closed her eyes.
"Portman will protect us." Julie said. "Hey that was my head." Julie took the pillow and put it on the floor.
"Good even in the dark I have good aim." Connie said.
"Good night." Cate said.
