ok kiddies, I know I've been kind of frustrated with this story, but I swear the Duck land is going to get better. There will be a happy ending!

Listen To Your Heart

The game seemed to go by fast, Varsity Won. Which wasn't really a suprise to anyone. Joe stood oustide the arena sitting on a bench a lone, her eyes faced to the ground. She did not want to go the party, she looked to the jacket she wore and grumbled. She stood looking at her reflection in the glass of the door to the arena. She stared closely, was this me? Am I just like the varsity? Should I be wearing this jacket? She stared and finally she took off the jacket. She then pictured herself standing next to the Varsity team. She thoughtto every harsh word she had said. That's all that went through her head through the whole game. When she watched the Ducks from across the arena.How they were all smiling and laughing, having fun. She felt hurt, that she wasn't there. Instead she had been sitting with Jeanie and some other brainless dimwits. They just went on about getting drunk and stupid stuff, stuff that didn't even matter to Joe. Not one of them talked about hockey, they didn't know anything about Hockey. And when they had won, the girls ran to the ice basically attacking the players. But Joe hadn't, she stayed. Scooter came to her though, swept her up in a non romantic kiss. A kiss which she regretted terribly. She could still see the look in Fulton's eyes. It pained here. She was so disgusted by this all. She knew what she had to do, but how to do it she didn't know. She knew, she'd rather not play at all, than play with Varsity. And if she could, and she knew she could, she'd give up all this, for him. To be with the one guy who meant something to her...

"Hey babe," a voice said. Joe turned to see Scooter standing with the rest of the team.

"Scooter, great to see you," she smiled fakely.

"Why aren't you wearing my jacket? It's cold," he looked at her arching a brow.

"Because Scooter, it's just not me," she shook her head tossing it to him.

"Well you won't get yours till you join the team.." Riley started a bit confused. Joe turned to see Fulton and Portman starting to walk from the arena.

"You know what, the odd thing is boys, I don't feel like a team player. I was never really a team player," she said loudly for the two to hear. Scooter looked to see Fulton and Portman heading over. The rest of the Ducks were coming out of the arena took.

"Babe come on now, lets not make a scene, it's a jacket ok. You dont' have to wear it, lets go to the party ok?" Scooter tried to tug her arm attempting to make her come along.

"Don't call me babe, what don't you get Scooter? This is not about some damned jacket," she exclaimed wriggling from his grasp.

"Ya Scooter, don't ya hear the girl," Portman stood behind Joe. Fulton was at her side.

"Hey look you Duck-rejects butt out of this. You've got nothing to do with this!" Rileywent to grab Joe's arm. Portman got in his way, he stood in between him and Joe. Joe had backed up a bit and ended up practically running right in to Fulton.

"Keep your hands off,"Portman growled.

"So this is your choice thenTaylor!" exclaimed Riley looking to Joe. Joe wasn't paying attention she was looking up at Fulton as he looked at her then looked to Riley andScooter. She looked back to the Ducks. She took Fulton's hand holding it as she looked back at Riley, Scooter, Jeanie and theVarsity crew.

"Yes, this is mychoice," she said looking to Fulton," I'd rather not play hockey than to play withthe Varsity." Fulton stared atJoe smiling.

"Lets get out of here, this place reeks of losers," Jeanie rolled her eyes turning away. They all left, all of varsity. It leftFulton and Joe there with the rest of the Ducks.

"Joe, you do realize what you just did right?" asked Tyler looking a bit confused. Joe looked to the crew and nodded.

"Yea the most decent thing I've done this year," she nodded," I owe a lot of you appologies."She bit her lip nervously.

"Hey they'll be time for that, we just need to find out how to get you back on the team.." Charlie smiled. Joe nodded. There was small chitchat as they all headed to the pizza parlor. Joe and Fulton walked in the back together alone.

"I, Joe, I'm sorry," Fulton said massaging her hand with his. They hadn't let go of hands since the confrontation. Joe looked to Fulton,

"You have nothing to be sorry about. It's me who needs to say sorry. I'm sorry I was such a pig headed idiot," she stopped looking into his eyes. He laughed,

"You forgot that you were a bitch too."

"Oh come on now Reed, I'm not going that far.." she smirked hitting him in the chest teasingly.

"Ouch you're hurting me," he laughed playfully.

"Yea right tough guy I doubt that one," she laughed. They could hear music from the Jute Box at the Pizza Parlor. It was playing D.H.T's "Listen to Your Heart".

"Now that's timing," Fulton laughed looking in to her eyes. Joe nodded moving closer to Fulton,

"Is it ever.." she smiled. They came in closer their lips gently pressing against one and another. They stood there kissing softly.

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Listen to your heart, mm-mmmmmm

I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye."
