DISCLAIMER: Still don't own the Mighty Ducks.
Chapter 2
"The Secret's Out"
The next morning, Charlie woke to a loud, knocking sound. He groaned and lifted his head groggily. Where was that noise coming from? He glanced over at Adam, who was still sound asleep. The knocking persisted. He sighed and headed for the door.
"Who would be at the door at 7 on a Saturday?" He grumbled to himself as he unlocked the door. He opened it to find Connie standing there.
She giggled at his disheveled appearance. "Do you want to go for a walk?" She asked.
Charlie's whole body wanted nothing more than to jump back in bed and sleep but one look at her hopeful face and his heart couldn't do it.
"Uh, yah. Just let me get dressed."
A few moments later, Charlie exited the room and him and Connie set out.
"So, what's up Cons? Charlie asked her as they walked down the road.
She smiled. "I just wanted to talk to my best friend."
Charlie gave her a yeah-right expression. Connie laughed. "Ok, I guess I was a bit more upset about what happened last night then I let on."
Charlie immediately turned serious. "Just wait till I get my hands on him."
"Charlie…" Connie warned. She then changed the subject. "I've decided not to tell Guy."
"Why not?"
She shrugged. "I'm afraid, he'll look at me differently."
Charlie rolled his eyes. 'C'mon Cons! You know Guy loves you."
Connie smiled faintly. "Yah, but I'm not so sure, I'm still in love with him."
Charlie stopped. Connie and Guy, not together anymore? The thought was as foreign to him as well at one time, him and Linda not being together. He guessed something's really did change. He realized Connie had continued walking, so he hurried to catch up.
The next day at school, Connie stayed close to Charlie. She seemed a bit on edge around other guys including Guy. Charlie noticed Guy giving him odd looks. He was quick to reassure his friend that he was most definitely scamming on Connie. Guy took his word for it and Charlie breathed a sigh of relief. He would be so glad when Connie told the rest of the Ducks.
It was finally lunchtime and the Ducks were inline to get their food.
"Does this place ever get anything good?" Goldberg complained.
"Nope, but we should be used to it by now." Fulton agreed as they made their way to their table.
Once they reached it, they noticed a new person sitting, in what was usually Connie's seat. It was that senior, John Right. He was having a heated discussion with Guy, who was shaking his head furiously. They sat their trays down in time to hear the end of their conversation.
"I'm telling you, Germaine I wouldn't lie to you about this. I totally didn't know she was your chick until today either."
Averman glanced at the rest of the Ducks, who had arrived just in time to hear the last part as well. John was obviously talking about Connie.
"Look, it's the little skank, now." John said.
Everyone turned to see Connie and Charlie walking up to the table.
"And scamming on another guy too." He added.
Averman watched as the look on Charlie's face went to one of pure hatred. Connie's face took on a wary look.
Guy stood up. "Connie, is this true?" He demanded.
"What are you talking about?"
Guy rolled his eyes. "Did you sleep with Right?"
She made a disgusted sound. "Guy! No!"
He pulled something from John's hand. "Then why does he have your necklace?"
It was the "C" necklace, Guy had bought her for her birthday. She vaguely remembered it coming unclasped when she and John were wrestling on the floor.
"Guy, I can explain!" She cried.
He shook his head. "Save it Connie." With a disgusted sigh, he walked out of the cafeteria.
Connie looked at the other Ducks who were all staring at her. 'What are you staring at?" She cried as she ran out of the cafeteria.
John leaned back grinning.
Charlie glared at him. "You better wipe that smile off your face."
John laughed. "Like I'm scared of you, Captain Duckie."
Charlie rolled his eyes. 'Whatever." He said as he headed in the direction Connie had went. Julie followed momentarily, the other Ducks went after her, hollering their threats as they went.
Charlie found her out on a bench.
"Cons…"
"I hate him, Charlie."
Charlie paused a moment. "John or Guy?"
"Both because John told the lie and Guy believed it."
There was a rustling behind them. They both turned to find the Ducks standing there. Julie hurried to her friends side, giving her a huge hug.
"I don't believe him." She whispered causing Connie to burst into tears again.
"is it true, Con?" Ken asked hesitantly.
"No! You've got to believe me!" Connie sobbed.
"We believe you, Cons." Portman said solemnly. The other Ducks slowly agreed. Connie smiled through her tears as Julie continued to comfort her.
Charlie took the other Ducks aside and told them the real story. Comments of outrage fluctuated from each duck. Then and there they vowed to make John Right's life a living hell.
