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 14-
Caitlin woke up the next morning not ready to face the day. She had an excellent dream about the dance. She looked up to her nightstand and found that she had 25 minutes until her alarm went off. 'Good, I can reminisce for a while' she thought as she grabbed her bathrobe and went into the bathroom connected to her dorm.
As Caitlin let the water warm up she brushed her teeth and began remembering the Homecoming Dance.
Flash back to Saturday Night- Connie's House
"Guys are you sure that my hair looks ok?" Cate asked as Karen came up to her with a makeup bag.
"Cate, I'm telling you- you look great. Now go back to the chair so I can finish your makeup." Karen said leading Cate back to the chair that she had vacated only minutes before.
"Girls the boys are here." Connie's Mom called up to them.
"Ok let's make sure that we have everything before we go down." Connie said looking at the four girls before her.
"Hair and Makeup done." Connie said.
"Check" Alice said looking at all of the girls.
"Dresses on and looking fabulous of course." Connie said.
"Check and Yes we do look fabulous." Julie added with a grin.
"Purses with the essentials." Connie said as she open her purse and the other four followed.
"What are the essentials again? Cate asked hoping to ruffle Connie's feathers..
"Cate!" Connie exclaimed.
"Kidding. Kidding." Cate said.
"Connie I think we are ready." Julie said as she began to steer Connie out of the bedroom.
Cate could not believe how pretty the country club looked. It was like a fairy tale. She looked over at Adam and saw that he too was grinning.
"I'm so excited." Cate said as she and Adam followed Charlie and Connie into the clubhouse
There was a photographer in the lobby area and balloons and streamers leading to the dance floor which was set up with tables and a dance floor waiting for people to come and dance on. She could hear the DJ playing some songs and saw a few people sitting down.
"Hey lets get some pictures." Julie said. "The line is not too long and the team seems to be here."
"So how are we going to do this?" Charlie asked.
"How couples, then groups of couples, then groups." Karen suggested.
So all the couple had their pictures taken. Adam tried to make Cate laugh in their picture; Charlie and Connie were trying not to laugh in their picture. Portman and Julie had an agreement that they would take a nice picture than for all the others he could put his bandana back on.
They thought that the poor photographer was going to keel over with all the requests that they made for group pictures. There was one of all the male Ducks, one of all the female Ducks, one of all five females, then came all the wacky team pictures that they could think of and finally a normal big group picture of the team and all the dates.
After the pictures were taken the team walked into the dance floor and grabbed two tables to make sure that everyone was together. They ate, they danced, they stayed away from the Varsity. All in all it was a fun time. The Homecoming court was announced and their table was really loud when Alice was presented as the Freshman Princess.
End Flashback
Cate smiled as she rinsed the conditioner out of her hair. She and Adam had danced to so many songs. In fact come to think of it she danced with almost all of the male ducks except for her brother of course. He favorite part of the evening was when they were being picked up by the parents- Adam had kissed her on the cheek and told her that she looked very pretty that evening. Then he got into his mom's car with Charlie, Guy, Portman and Fulton to be taken back to his house.
She got out of the shower and put on her robe. When she walked back into her room she found that Julie's alarm clock was going off and Connie was actually awake.
"Shower's free." Cate said as she walked over to her side of the room and began getting out her uniform and changing.
Julie jumped out of her bed and went into the bathroom.
"So what got you up bright and early thins morning?" Connie asked as she started to make up her bed.
"Nothing, I just woke up from this great dream I had and decided not to fall back to sleep." Cate said as she was buttoning up her long sleeved white shirt over a white turtleneck.
"Right." Connie said. "And I am so the queen of England." As she started taking out her uniform as well as warm tights, a white turtleneck and her black v neck sweater.
"Who's the queen of England?" Julie asked as she walked back into the room.
"Connie." Cate said turning around and frowning at the red tie that she was putting on.
"Ok." Julie said shaking her head. Sometimes Cate and Connie were to confusing for her.
30 minutes later the girls were dressed in their uniforms and with coats and backpacks in hand they went out to face the day that was Monday.
