CHAPTER 17 – My Date? Your Date?
"You guys got a date for tomorrow?" Jesse asked as they get ready for practice that afternoon.
"Of course! I'm going with someone named Gorgeous Babe." Luis answered.
"Of course! Luis would die if he can't go with someone with that name!" Averman said sarcastically.
"Scoff if you must! Wait till you see her." Luis said.
"Wait till you see her!" Goldberg bit back. The others snickered.
"I got a date." Charlie offered
"The two of us do too," Portman said, pointing to Fulton and himself.
"I don't know if I'm going with a date or not." Adam said, arranging his pads.
"You won't have any problem with that anyway." Fulton said
"Yeah, we're all not called Adam Banks that could get a girl in a bat of an eyelash!" Guy teased. Adam glared at them.
Julie rolled her eyes and smiled when she saw Connie coming. "Hey, where've you been?"
"Dropped my address off in his Response Box," Connie answered, slightly catching her breath. "What are they talking about?" eyeing the guys, who are busily talking among themselves.
"Their dates for tomorrow." Julie answered, laughing a little. "Pathetic, if you ask me."
"As I was saying, it's okay for me to have anybody except for the likes of… let's say, Katrina Jones." Russ said.
"Russ, dude, what is it that you have against her?" Fulton asked.
"She has bucked teeth! And the most irritating saccharine sweet smile ever imagined! Don't tell me you haven't noticed!" Russ exclaimed.
"What's wrong with that? She's in my chemistry class and she's really nice." Connie said.
"What would you do if your date end up to be her?" Ken asked. Russ didn't say anything.
"Don't say we didn't warn you." Dwayne countered.
"Well, what about you guys?" Russ asked.
"Oh, I don't need a date." Jesse said.
"Me too" Dwayne chirped in.
"Yeah, Goldberg and I would be with the two of them at the sidelines." Averman said.
Goldberg nodded. "Watching you guys and will be laughing at the most unlikely pair." He gave Averman a high-five.
"Oh, yeah! Forgot to tell you guys, we have a game against Blake tomorrow morning." Charlie announced suddenly.
"Tomorrow?!" is all Jesse said. The others looked shocked.
"We're in top shape, so don't worry about it." Charlie said. The others stared at him.
"Tomorrow?" Jesse said again. The ducks burst at once into an explosion of complaints.
"It's not fair! Why didn't you tell us earlier?!"
"— we could have practiced more!"
"The dance is tomorrow!"
"How on earth could I get ready in time—"
"—my date would be waiting—"
"No way! We can't concentrate well on the game!"
Charlie smiled at the look of indignation on every of his teammates' face.
"What are you smiling about?" Adam asked irritably.
"Gotcha!" Charlie said.
The ducks fell silent, it took a while before it sinked in that they've been had.
"Conway, you are so dead!" Portman growled. They all chased Charlie out of the locker room.
