Chapter 2.
Charlie's POV
I've never seen Fulton so down but the Ducks and I have devised a plan that we go to six pro hockey games before we start. We thought of starting this in the next couple of months since we wanted to give the NHL board time to find a coach and location. Our first stop down south is Miami were Luis will get all his stuff together. After that it would be Texas so we could get Dwayne's things. We decided to go to all the states were the out-of-state Ducks lived. Then maybe after that try living normal before starting something big.
"Hey Banks, Russ, Guy do you want to go to the park? I heard there's some hot girls down there."
They looked at each other like 'what's he up to?'. They nodded before going to their different apartments to get their skates.
Adam's POV
It seemed so unlike Charlie to want to go check girls out but I couldn't argue with him. Don't get me wrong I would stand up against him but he seemed like he wanted to get out of the area. I knew Guy would be in hot water when he told Connie but I really didn't want to know the details. When I told my dad and brother about the pros they were ecstatic. I couldn't even give them the name of the team we were going to be. Finally when they came up for air I told them that the NHL wanted to call us the 'USA Mighty Ducks'. We were all happy to at least keep our name and team members. The one thing that also got me down was not having the Bash Sister with us. We hadn't heard from her in years. Even though we went through high school and college without her there was always something missing on the team. The one thing that we missed the most was the smart comments she first made to Portman on our first meeting.
Flashback
"What's a tiny girl like you playing here?"
"And wants a smart ass like you playing around like your all cool? I might be small but I can still do some whoop ass on you."
Portman just looked at her and backed off now knowing this was one girl not to mess with.
End of Flashback
I also knew we would be on thin ice. Ever since I joined the team with them she would avoid me whenever she could. I understood she wouldn't forgive me that easy but she warmed up a little more during Team USA.A few weeks before school started we were all in my neighborhood being loud were she told us she was leaving to Miami with Mr. and Mrs. Stone, her newly wedded parents. We all were very sad but she watched us get our scholarships with Coach Bombay, Casey Conway, and Hans. The one question that kept popping in my head was, 'is she in pros?'. I knew she had one more year of college, but also I didn't know if she went to college.
Tiffany's POV
When Sticks and I talked about the pro leagues we both decided to be on the same team. We the Varsity team at our college left four young teens to deal with helping the new Varsity players in. Although pro leagues were a little uneasy about letting a girl play they saw my skill and talked to my coaches, which included Coach Bombay. When I heard they talked to Coach Bombay I didn't know they had him come down from Minnesota to have a conference. After seeing him many years ago he didn't quiet change, but he did his best in getting me in with no snags.
Bombay's POV
When I got the phone call about Tiffany's performance in hockey I knew that I needed to go and pay her a visit. I didn't know if I should bring the Ducks but I should call her first. When I got down to Miami airport I was expecting a cab to pick me up but instead it was Tiffany. She had changed from a tomboy with very short hair to a young lady with long hair. Her attitude was the same when we talked on our way home but she could hold her temper better. I could tell she was ready for the pro leagues but I was wondering if the pro leagues were ready for her. On our way to the board meeting at her old college we had a little conference of our own.
"Are you sure your ready for this?"
"I've been waiting for this for god knows how long. Coach, ever since I was nine I've been
working for this."
"I know. It's just I was going to bring the Ducks along but I thought you needed to get through this part before seeing them."
"Thank you. I don't know how I could handle the news of the pro leagues and seeing them."
"Did you know that the NHL is going to open a new league and it's going to be called USA Mighty Ducks just for them?"
"Wow! All of them are going to on it? I guess this is some of their dreams."
"Yeah, but I think they want you to be on it. Fulton's been acting very strange ever since he graduated. He's been searching for you well into his senior year of high school. I've been helping too, but it seems every time we put your name in it's a dead end."
"That's because I've changed my last name again. See I wanted Reed back instead of Stone but instead I got White as my last name. My mom remarried again for the third time! I was thinking if I tried to change it and get on the pro leagues they would recognize me. I didn't mean to give you so much trouble."
"It's ok. We just got worried after a while I guess."
When we stopped in the parking lot I could then see she was thinking very hard about something or at least someone. Before we entered the door she said,
"Coach I want to go back to Minnesota with you before I start anything else. I think that would be the wisest move on my part."
I just nodded my head and held the door open for her.
Tiffany's POV
I couldn't believe it I was on a Miami pro league team! Coach Bombay told them of my performance including my other coaches. The board I could tell was a little skeptical about the idea but agreed. When I brought Coach back to my place he told me to pack my bags for at least two months and come back to Minnesota with him. I couldn't argue with him, and with all his help this is what I could do for him now. He looked around at how empty it was but he could tell this was home to me. Basically all I had was two sofas, a small TV, three bedrooms, and a medium sized kitchen. It all seemed bare but it made you feel comfortable. I packed my bags so fast with everything I needed, called my parents including my step dad, and left a message with Sticks that I would be in Minnesota. On the plane I was fidgeting a lot because I was meeting the Ducks. I couldn't wait to see Fulton and everybody but the fact in my head couldn't escape. What would they think of me? Would they welcome me back in? or would they throw me out? After six hours on the plane Coach and I got in his car and drove to his home.
"Wow! So this is were you live know?" I said looking around.
He just chuckled and said for me to leave my things in the spare room upstairs. When I put my stuff on the bed I heard the phone starting to ring. After I put all my hang-ups in the closet the Coach came up to me explaining the Ducks wanted him to go and play street hockey with them. He told me to get my skates on and go with him. Bombay and I got outside of the neighborhood and started to race each other to the park. When we got to the place the Ducks were all there goofing around and hitting each other. Coach walked up to them and tried to calm them down to their reaction in meeting me.
