Oh and I forgot to say it in the last chapter but this will follow D3 the mighty ducks.
Joey couldn't believe her eyes. Standing in front of her was none other then Pacey Witter, they boy from her childhood. ''To think I was almost rid of you jailbait.'' she said, immedeatly going back to the banter she remebers. Pacey smirked at her before replying ''Guess I'm always gonna haunt you huh Icequeen.'' ''Shut up pervert.'' she told him. ''Prude.'' he said. Joey rolled her eyes. ''Bite me Pacey.'' ''Just tell me when and where.'' he told her. They looked at each other for a minute before they bursted out laughing and hugged. ''I guess it hasn't been as long as I thought.'' said Pacey after they broke apart. ''Um Pacey, what's going on?'' asked Charlie. Pacey and Joey turned to see the whole team looking at them with confused faces. ''Guys this is Joey Potter, one of my oldest and best friends from Capeside. How on earth did you get into hockey Jo?'' he asked her. ''Um maybe we can take a walk and talk about it?'' asked Joey. Pacey looked at her quizzingly but agreed. They left the dorms and began to walk. ''Alright now what couldn't you tell me in there?'' asked Pacey. ''Do you remeber before you moved, my mom was really sick?'' He nodded so she continued. ''Well she had cancer Pace.'' Joey softly began to cry. Pacey wiped her tears away. ''I'm guessing there's not a happy ending.'' Joey shook her head. ''Then dad was arrested for selling drugs.'' Pacey was shocked ''Jeez it turned into a soap opera when I left.'' Joey smilied slightly. ''Bessie enrolled me into to hockey for my agression and here I am at this school ready to play for JV.''
''Well I'm glad your here Jo. I missed my best friend.'' he said. Joey smilied. Her, Dawson, and Pacey all grew up together as best friends, but she had been closer to Pacey then to Dawson. She remebers nights when Pacey would sneak over to her house at night and they would watch a movie in her room and fall asleep. They could tell each other anything. She was the first one he ever told about his past. ''So how have you and Dawson been? Has Jen visited since I've been gone?'' Pacey asked her. Jen Lindley was another old friend. She lived in New York but when she visited her grandmother, who just happened to be Dawson's next door neighbor, they all hung out together. Just like Pacey and her had been close, Dawson and Jen had been close. ''Yes only now she lives there. She got into trouble in New York and was sent to Capeside. Dawson and I dated but it didn't work out and now Jen and Dawson are happiliey in love.'' she told him.
''Now enough about us what happened to you when you moved here?'' Joey asked him. ''Well Charlie introduced me to the ducks, they had just gotten back from the Junior Good Will Games, and they were a bit hesitent at first. Connie imediatly became my best friend on the team and eventually the rest of the team accepted me too. I was given a nickname as you heard. Oh and if not for me then Charlie and Connie wouldn't be dating righty now ether.'' Pacey told her. ''Charlie and Connie are dating?'' she asked. He nodded his head. They walked along just thinking, both comfortable with the silence. Suddenly Joey spoke ''When's practice?'' she asked him. Pacey checked his watch. ''Pretty soon. Come on let's go meet this new coach. Charlie's not too thrilled about it and neither am I.'' ''Why not?'' asked Joey. ''Because he is not Coach Bombay.'' At Joey's puzzled look he continued. ''Gordon Bombay was their Junior Good Will Games and Pee-Wee hockey coach. He became like a father figure to Charlie and from I knew of him, he's pretty cool. He helped me practice so I would be good enough to get on the team.'' They arrived at the dorms, got their hockey gear and headed to the arena to practice.
The arena was empty when they got there. The team walked out onto the ice. ''Well the coach isn't here yet so how about some duck hockey everyone?'' asked Charlie. ''Duck hockey?'' asked Joey. ''Just us goofing around Jo.'' Pacey told her. Pretty soon they were all skating away from Dwayne and his lasso. He got Charlie and he fell and skitted to a stop in front of a man. ''I'm Coach Orion and welcome to Eden Hall. There will be no fooling around like this during practices. Now everyone line up.'' They did as they were told. Coach Orion skted around them calling off their names making sure everyone was there. He started to give a speech about team work and winning but he was interupted by whispering. ''Conway, Witter. What are you two whispering about and why are you doing it during my practice? While I'm talking I demand respect.'' he told them. ''Repesct is earned. We've known each other for a while your the newbie.'' Charlie told him. Pacey nodded his head in agreement. ''Alright, since the brothers insist on sticking together. Laps both of you.'' Charlie glared at him. ''How many sir?'' asked Pacey. ''Until I say stop.'' he told him. Charlie and Pacey skated while the Coach finished his speech.
After practice the team headed into their locker rooms. Joey was the first to leave the girls locker room. She had left her skates on and skated around the rink enjoying the sound of the blades clinking on the ice. Pacey exited his locker room with the same idea. He skated over to her. ''So what do you think of him Jo?'' he asked her. They began to skate around. ''I don't know.'' she said. He went ahead and turned around, skating in front of her face to face. Joey was about to say something when she slipped on the ice and started to fall face first. Pacey caught her and held her in his arms. They looked into each others eyes, their lips inches away from each other. Pacey leaned his head in to kiss her when suddenly the doors to the arena bursted open and the varsity team came in. Pacey and Joey immediatly broke apart and the rest of team, who had been watching the two of them, rushed out onto the ice. The varsity team skated over. ''Well well well welcome to the school ducks.'' the captain said. ''Too bad you won't being staying here.'' another team member said. ''What's that supposed to mean?'' asked Connie. ''With all the losing you'll be doing and all the winning we will be doing they will definalty drop the losing team.'' the captain. ''The only winning you'll be doing is for the lowest IQ contest.'' Joey said. The varsity team was shocked. No one had ever insulted their captain let alone a girl. The ducks, however, were very impressed, espcially Pacey. ''You guys just better get lost while we practice.'' said the captain. They were going to argue but then they saw the varsity coach heading there way so they left.
After they left the arena the team just hung around the common room. ''What are we going to do about varsity Charlie? I think they have it in for us.'' asked Averman. ''No worries man. They mess with us, they are going to have to pay price from the ducks.'' they team cheered in agreement. The team continued going to practices not liking Coach Orion at all and looking out for anything the varsity might have planned. After one practice, Goldberg discovered his clothes missing. The rest of the team checked their lockers only to find the same results. ''Um guys, I think I found them.'' Guy said looking into the showers. The team saw their clothes all in one huge wet pile and saw the words Ducks Suck! written on the wall. ''What are we going to do captain?'' asked Fulton. Pacey whispered something to his brother and he nodded in agreement and quickly filled in the rest of the team. A few of the ducks used a special chemical to freeze the varsitys clothes with great success and painted Varsity Sucks More! on the wall.
At lunch the next day the varsity captain came over to the ducks table. ''I'll admit the prank was ok but now I'm offering a truce. Every year varsity has to buy JV a dinner. So we're going to a restruanut to eat. We don't want to do this but it's tradtion so we have no choice. Be at the restruanut on the corner of 3rd street at 8 tonight.'' he walked back to his table. ''Should we trust him?'' asked Julie. ''Only one way to find out.'' Pacey said. So that night the boys put on their suits and waited for the girls to come down. Once Joey entered the room, Pacey was speechless. She looked absoultly beautiful in her long black spgetti straped gown. Pacey walked over to her and held out his arm. She smilied taking it and he led them to his car. Charlie held his arm out for Connie to take. ''What do you think is going on between them?'' she whispered to him, nodding her head to the two in front of them. ''I don't know but I want to find out.'' he whispered back. They all arrived at the restruanut and saw the varsity team waiting for them told them that this wasn't a prank at all. How very wrong they were. The varsity team skipped out on the bill leaving the JV to pay for the very expensive meal. As they washed dishes, the team came up with a clever plot to get back at them. WhileDwayne guarded the building and Adam and Andie kept watch, Charlie, Pacey, Connie, Joey and the rest of the ducks used tubes to transfer the Dean's ant collection into the varsitys rooms. The layers were bitten and ran out their rooms screaming. The ducks laughed as the team ran to the showers. The captain turned to Charlie and said ''Tomorrow at dawn be at the arena. We will settle this once and for all.'' before running to the showers himself.
