Chapter 4.
Fulton's POV
The day after Tiffany came home, I was just in heaven. I didn't want her to leave for anything. I had a feeling the Ducks didn't either but it was her life and no one could tell her how to run it.
"Hey man do you want to go skating?" I heard Portman ask me.
"Sure. Were exactly though?"
"Duh the ice rink."
I called at Bombay's house but he told me Tiffany was at Adam's. I chuckled a little at the thought of that. I remembered perfectly how much they hated each other.
Flashback
"Man I can't stand those stupid Hawks."
"Why? I mean they haven't done anything to us."
"Maybe not to you but to me and my friends. Now don't get all brother protective all that crap. I dealt with it on my own."
"I'm afraid to even ask, but go on and tell me."
"Lets say my right knee wanted to hear one of them sing." She said while laughing.
"And was it that loud?"
"Well it was enough to make the others run off before I had a chance at letting my left knee hear them sing."
End of Flashback
'At least she isn't like that now, or at least I hope.'
When I got to the ice rink, Portman and I started to practice slap shots. Surprisingly I made almost all in the goal. I started to think what we could do for the night that would be fun and then I thought, a hockey game.
"Hey Portman how about a hockey game old duck style?"
"Good deal man!"
"You call half and I'll call half."
When Portman and I got back to our apartments we each called the Ducks and told them to meet us at the ice rink in 30 minutes to play a Duck game.
Charlie's POV
Finally we got a real Duck hockey game. If only the other old members were here, mostly Jessie. The game I should say was incredibly fun. Nothing was more fun then to see Tiffany and Fulton team up and show Portman what it's like again to see the Reed Twins. She never seemed to stop smiling or laughing during the game. There also seemed to be love flowing in the air between Adam and Tiffany but it also seemed impossible for them to be in love. I mean they hated each other so much during pee wees. During Team USA they talked but not that kind of friendly joking talk.
Flashback
"Hey Tiffany, that was really funny what you and Fulton did at the park. I've never seen you like that except when you hurt McGill."
"Yeah well they deserved it."
She said and walked off toward the door with her skates in hand.
Adam just shock his head before turning the other way.
"Hey Banks thanks. See you at practice tomorrow."
He just nodded his head slightly before heading for the other door.
End of Flashback
When the game ended, my team won 15-14. Later after that we went to Mickey's Dining Car to get something to eat and then go to a movie. We all agreed to go and see a horror movie instead of soppy movies that make girls cry.
(Two months later)
Tiffany's POV
I can't believe I have to leave tomorrow. I really, really wanted to stay with my team but with all the hard work that Bombay and my other coaches did I had to go back to Miami. To me there was really nothing to go back to. First I'm out of school. Second hockey doesn't start for another couple of months. Third my mom and step dad aren't married anymore and it gets really irritating to hear my mom nag on about how lonely she is. Don't get me wrong I do listen to my mom and try to get her to calm down but she's been married three times now. When I told Fulton he was shocked to have even thought my life was prefect like his or any other Duck. That whole day seemed to go by too fast. The Ducks held a party last night knowing that I couldn't party today. They said their going to come to the airport to see me off, but I didn't know the next time I would see them. I heard a knock at the door and I never looked to see who it was until he entered.
"Hey you ok?"
"Just unhappy about leaving tomorrow."
"Yeah well just think if you stay on the same team next year we'll play against you and we can see your true skill."
"Yeah" I said with a halfhearted chuckle.
I sat back down on the bed looking at the suitcases that were stacked up against the wall. Everything was ready for when I leave tomorrow.
Adam's POV
I hated to see Tiffany this depressed especially when we had seen all this happiness from her. I also couldn't believe what I said about the hockey games in the future. I sat down next to her giving her a tight hug, not wanting to let her go.
(The next day)
When I woke up the next morning, Tiffany was up and dressed making some breakfast. I walked out smelling all the good scents that were coming from the eggs, bread, bacon, and coffee. I walked up behind her while she was getting plates down and put my hands over eyes asking,
"Guess who?"
"Humm, I don't know maybe a very hot and nice hockey player that I won't see for a while."
"And what's his name?"
"Ohhhh, I don't know maybe Adam Banks."
I pulled her into a kiss and grabbed the plates and set the table. The breakfast went by with laughter but not as good-natured as it was in the beginning. I can truly say we had a fun time together in the beginning but it just seemed too hard to let her go. When we left for the airport, we would try to make small talk but it always ended as soon as it began. As we drew nearer to the airport Tiffany seemed a little uneasy.
"You ok?"
"Just a little nervous."
"What are you so nervous about?"
"About leaving you guys, going to hockey camp, and making friends with an all guys team."
"You've done it before I don't see why you can't do it now."
"I guess. Also it's about leaving you guys after so much happiness and family ties."
"It's ok." I said while I took her hand and squeezed it gently.
When we got to the airport all the Ducks was arriving in groups of two or threes. We waited by the gates until each Duck had said their good-byes. It was finally my last turn. I gave her a tight hug and whispered,
"I love you. I'll see you sometime." I saw her nod and walk to the gate ready to leave. Fulton and I were the last ones left since it seemed slightly hard for some of the others to wait.
"So Fulton, what are you going to do now that she's gone again?"
"I don't know. Try to stay in contact with her I guess. I've been meaning to ask you, what have you two been up to these past two months?" he gave me a devilish look that made me kind of scared to even think of telling him everything, at which I didn't.
"We just bonded I guess that's how you can put it."
