Responses to my Reviewers

I just want you all to know that I have appreciated all your reviews threw this Fic. I am incredibly sad that this is the last chapter. But I do have a squeal for it that will be much happier. Hope to talk to you all soon. Enjoy and please review if you can.

Ok now lets get on with this chapter.

The trip to the rink in the Bus had been a long 3 hour trip. But the team found different ways to pass it by. Some played games, some just talked about different things and others slept.

When they got to the rink they had two hours before the practices so Bombay told them that they could look around the rink building, or they could hang out in the locker room. Most of them decided to take their bags to their locker room and then go look around.

But Connie, Julie, Guy, and Charlie decided to hang out in the locker room and maybe look around later. They went in and unpacked their bags and put their stuff in their lockers.

Connie, Charlie, and Guy had finished and gone to the couch to relax. But Julie was starting to get nervous about the game. She stood at her locker staring at it with big eyes.

Connie saw this and got up and walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. Julie jumped and then looked over at Connie.

Connie smiled, "Hey Julie, you ok?"

Ok now lets get on with this chapter.

The trip to the rink in the Bus had been a long 3 hour trip. But the team found different ways to pass it by. Some played games, some just talked about different things and others slept.

But Connie, Julie, Guy, and Charlie decided to hang out in the locker room and maybe look around later. They went in and unpacked their bags and put their stuff in their lockers.

Connie, Charlie, and Guy had finished and gone to the couch to relax. But Julie was starting to get nervous about the game. She stood at her locker staring at it with big eyes.

Connie saw this and got up and walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. Julie jumped and then looked over at Connie.

Connie smiled, "Hey Julie, you ok?"

Julie shock her head, "Not really. I'm going through my normal scared out of my mind phase before a big game." She said.

Connie nodded, "Come over to the couch Julie maybe we can help you relax a bit."

Julie nodded and they walked over to the couch. Charlie patted the area next to him and held out his arm for her. She set down and cuddled next to him as he wrapped an arm around her.

A few minutes later Charlie laughed, he then looked at Connie and Guy, "Do you remember that first year that Bombay came to us. We couldn't skate to save our lives."

Connie laughed, "you mean you couldn't skate to save your life."

Charlie rolled his eyes, "Right that's what I meant. You and guy were a lot better than me."

Guy laughed, "No I think it was just Connie. I wasn't that good either." he said .

Julie looked at them, "You mean you couldn't even skate when Coach got the job?"

"Nope we sure couldn't. Charlie would be ok for a while until he swung his stick then he fell on his face and went sliding into the wall. I could skate ok and managed to get a couple goes threw a goalie, but I couldn't stop to save my life. Connie here could skate, swing her stick, and stop…and I think she also got a goal every once in a while…laughs I know she liked to knock Averman over." Guy said.

Julie laughed out loud, something she hadn't done in a long time and it felt great. "I had heard people saying how he had had to teach you how to skate and pass the puck and stuff like that but I didn't know it was all true. I figured it was just a few that he had to do that with."

Guy laughed, "No it was all of us. He got us real jerseys and sticks, pads, skates, actually got us rink time and a inside rink. Then he set to work on teaching us how to skate, that took a bit. But probably the funniest thing he did was when he started teaching us how to pas the puck. He started us out with eggs." he said and looked at Charlie who rolled his eyes.

Connie laughed, "It was more like the funniest thing Charlie did, coach just had a hysterical look on his face." She said and Guy laughed and nodded.

"yea that's true." He said and laughed along with her.

Julie sighed, "Are you going to tell me or sit there and laugh about it?" she asked impatiently.

Guy grinned, "Sorry Julie." He said, "Coach had us passing the egg to each other back and forth. We each had partners, and Charlie's was Coach. Charlie hit the egg just a bit to hard and broke the egg and it went all over coach's sweater and pants. Charlie gave him a look like he was really sorry and coach said, "Not so hard Charlie." Charlie nodded and then got a new egg and hit it softer and managed to get it to coach. Then coach passed it back to him and he didn't receive it right and got it all over him." Guy said laughing out load, "He figured out how to receive it after that."

Julie was bent over laughing at the story, as was Connie. Guy was laughing to and Charlie was trying to look indignant but couldn't help but laugh as well.

"I'm glad you all thought that was so funny," Charlie said acting like he was mad, "Mom made me wash that jersey myself." He said which just made the other three laugh harder.

He sighed and then looked at his friends and busted out laughing himself, "I think the best part was the look on coaches face when that egg went all over him."

Connie and guy nodded and Julie laughed as she imagined it.

After that they talked about different things that had happened to them in the past, laughing over most of what they talked about.

Julie looked at them all and kind of laughed, "Momma had this thing that she had to stand at the entrance of the ring when I led the team out and hug and kiss me and make sure I had all my pads on. Then she would tell me good luck and send me on my way onto the ice. Then she would tell the rest of the team good luck as they walked on." She told them, then she laughed, "There was this one time that she had just let me go onto the ice and I stepped on it while I was putting my helmet on, I slipped and fell on my back and was trying to get up but couldn't. Momma went out there and started to try to help me up, but as soon as she stepped on it she fell to. So finally after they had finished laughing a couple of my friends skated to us and helped my mom up and back to the entrance and then came back and helped me up. For the rest of the time that I was on that team there wasn't a one of them that let me or momma forget that. It's probably a story that's being passed down to new players." She said and rolled her eyes but was laughing at the same time.

The other three were laughing right along with her, happy to see that she was laughing.

After the laughter had died down Bombay came in and smiled at them, "It looks like you four are having fun, but it's time to get ready for warm ups." He said

Charlie nodded, "ok Coach." He said and they got up and headed to their lockers to and started getting ready.

Julie was nervous, but not like she had been. Before she had been scared that she was going to screw the game up, but not after having so much fun, she knew that she had just been very nervous. Now she was excited and nervous, and couldn't wait to get out there and play. In her excitement she had gotten her equipment on and was ready before any of the other team.

So while she waited for the rest of the team to get ready she set at her locker trying to be patient but it wasn't working.

"Would you all hurry up." She said impatiently.

"WOW Catlady is actually ready before us." Averman said as he put his jersey on.

Julie glared at him, "Shut up Averman." She snapped.

"Yes ma'm." He said and went back to getting ready.

The rest of the team laughed knowing that Julie and Averman hadn't gotten along since they had first meet several years ago. Averman liked to make fun of her or pick a fight with her even though he knew that she would either retaliate or her 'brother' Portman would. In other words they caused great amusement for the team.

A few minutes later the rest of the team were ready to and they were finally able to walk out and go to ice.

Julie realized that everyone was excited like she was and she gave them all a huge grin, and got one in return.

Coach met them at the ice, "Let's do some laps and then Julie will get in the goal and you can practice shots for a bit."

They all nodded and got to doing the laps and then eventually the practice shots.

After about 30 minutes the whistle blue and they knew it was only a matter of time before the start of the game. The team and Julie went over to the bench for a talk with coach, who seemed about as nervous as Julie had been.

"Alright team, this is it, the big game. We've done this before in the past years we can do it again. I have faith in you. Go out there, and do your best and I know we can win." he said and the team all cheered.

Coach then looked over at Julie, "You ok Julie?" He asked

She nodded, "Yea, for the first time in a long time I am." SHe said

Coach grinned, "That's great." He said and then turned to the stands and waved.

Julie and the rest of the team looked up to see who coach was waving at and Julie nearly fell down.

"Daddy!" She squealed.

Her father grinned at her and signed and mouthed, "I love you."

She grinned and seemed to have even more confidence in herself and mouthed "I love you to." back to him. Then she saw Jason and grinned at him and he waved to her.

She waved back and then looked at Coach, "Did you get them here?"

"Actually no, I didn't. Your brother did, and he told me that they were coming and were sitting a few rows up and behind our bench." He said.

She grinned, "Ok." she said.

"Good now lets go out and win us the Championship!" Bombay said and they cheered and went out to the ice.

Julie got to the goal and looked out at the ice, "BRING IT ON!"

The team on the bench cheered. That was it, they knew their Goalie was back to herself, that one little phrase had proved it to them. She probably would still have some times of grief but all in all they knew she was back.

A couple hours later with only a couple minutes left in the game the ducks were ahead 3 to 2. The other team had the puck and was skating for the goal.

Julie was talking to herself telling herself that she could do it, just one more time.

"You can do it Julie, you know you can. Games almost over, don't screw it up by letting them tie and making us go into overtime." She told herself as they got closer.

She quit talking to herself and watched as the player with the puck coming at her. She watched the puck and as he went to shot she watched the puck come at her and shot out her glove hand and caught it, just as the buzzer went off.

It only took Julie a minute to realize that she had actually caught the puck, and that the game was over. She dropped the puck and pulled her helmet off and cheered as the rest of the team jumped onto the ice and went skating to the middle with the rest of the team.

She started skating to them to join in when Charlie broke from the team and went skating over to her. She squealed and tried to skate faster over to him but almost fell due to her excitement and bulk of her pads.

Charlie laughed and caught her and then hugged her tight to him. "You did it Julie, You won another Championship." He said when he pulled back.

"I KNOW!" She said "and Momma was watching me…I think I felt her."

He smiled, "I'm glad." He said and then he bent down and gave her a loving kiss.

She was a bit surprised at first but quickly kissed him back. They pulled away when they heard cheers from the team.

Portman laughed, "It's about time you kissed her." He said.

Julie blushed and then laughed and hid her face in Charlie's chest. She then looked at him, "You had to choose our first kiss to be in front of the whole team and a whole bunch of other people we probably don't even know, didn't you?"

Charlie grinned, "Yea." He said and she playfully slapped him.

They then skated to the rest of the team who in turn started hugging Julie and slapping her on the head. Portman hugged her and then grinned, "Just don't start saying Charlie like Linda use to." He said and Julie laughed.

"What you mean like this, "Chaarlie, oh Chaarlie." she said and Portman rolled his eyes and the rest of the team laughed.

After a few more wise cracks about Linda, Julie heard her name from behind the team.

She turned around surrounded by the rest of her team and saw her dad standing there with Jason.

She grinned and skated over to them. She didn't know if she should hug them or not. But the confusion soon ended when her dad reached over and pulled her to him in a hug.

"I'm proud of you Julie, you did it again. Your mother would have been proud to if she was here." He said.

Julie smiled, "But daddy, she is here." She said, "she may not be here physically but I know she's watching. And she's always going to be right here." She said and put her hand over her heart.

Her dad smiled, "I know." He said, "Listen Julie, I'm sorry about the way I treated you when this all happened. I know it wasn't your fault, or mine that your mother died. I know that driver that was drunk was at fault, but I think it was just my grief causing me to act like that, and I know that's not an excuse but that's what happened. Your brother, after several arguments got me to realize it wasn't your fault, and that you had needed me then, and now. So I'm here, Julie." He said, "I found out that you and your team was going to the championship and got tickets to come."

Julie was smiling and hugged her daddy, "I forgive you daddy." She said.

He smiled, "Good and I want you to know I'm glad you and Charlie are together. I can see that he and your team have helped you threw this."

Julie nodded, "Yea they have." She said and turned to look at her team and grinned.

"Julie go celebrate, Jason and I, will be staying close to your school for a little while so go on." He said.

She squealed hugged him and then Jason and then went back to the team to finish celebrating.

Charlie grinned at her and leaned over, "See told you he would come around." she laughed and they headed to the locker room.

The team Celebrated on the way back to school and well into the night until they one by one started drifting off. Julie found her self felling peaceful and happy.

She looked at the sky before she went to bed, "we did it again momma, we won." She said softly.

A/N: ok well that's it. that's the end…wow I can't believe it. But I have a sequel coming up for it, but I'm going to post in the other fics first. I hope you enjoyed this, please review. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and I'll see you all soon. ock her head, "Not really. I'm going through my normal scared out of my mind phase before a big game." She said.
