Spunky's Disclaimer: I've chucked every stupid penny I could find into a stupid wishing fountain… and I still don't own the Mighty Ducks! Why oh why is the world so cruel?! I could've invested them in stocks!! Okay back to reality. I don't own the Ducks! Heck I don't even own Taylor Brooklyn, she just kind of made herself at home in my brain. So I decided to use her in this story so she can pay up the five months rent she owes me! LOL!

Taylor Brooklyn Walter: Born and raised in the City of Angels (that's Los Angeles for those of you that don't know). She is 5'5 and has an athletic frame. She has straight chestnut colored hair. Her eyes are green. She is entering Eden Hall to pitch for the Varsity Softball Team. She plays guitar and likes to go against the grain sometimes. Her dad is a director.

Summary: High School has its ups and downs, and it is no exception at Eden. The Ducks are having the time of their life during their sophomore year. Features my OC, Taylor.

When we last left off Linda had just "accidentally" slapped Taylor.

Taylor glared at Linda, and looked ready to pounce on her, but held back. "Yeah. Whatever. It's not like it hurt anyway."

Linda glared back at her, and Taylor hopped of Adam's shoulders and thanked him. Scooter looked over at Taylor and looked at his watch. It was five p.m.

"Umm… we better get going. I promised my mom I'd walk the… dog at six."

The out of state students nodded and started to swim out of the water. Julie looked at Scooter "You never told me you had a dog."

Scooter rolled his eyes and Connie elbowed Julie on the ribs. Then it hit Julie.

"Oh yeah! That dog."

Connie rolled her eyes. Julie and Taylor walked over to the pool house and once inside went to the girls changing room. Inside were two separate showers, a sink, and a door that hid the toilet. Taylor locked the door and gathered her things. Inside of her bag she had her underclothes, a bottle of 2 in 1 Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner, a loofa, and body wash. She hung her towel and clothes on a hook outside the door and stepped into the shower stall. She heard Julie do the same, before she turned on the shower. She quickly rinsed before grabbing the shampoo and squeezing a large drop of it onto the palm of her hand. She massaged it into her scalp. The silence in the room was unbearable and was causing her to get angrier.

"Can I have some of your shampoo? I left mine at home." Julie asked cautiously.

"Sure" answered Taylor as she handed Julie the bottle. Julie took it and did the same.

"I thought you were going to kick her ass. I would have."

Taylor laughed sarcastically, "then after I had kicked her ass she would've cried and said it was an accident. Then everyone would look at me like the bad guy, just like she planed it." Julie shook her head and laughed.

"You know I would've never thought that. How did you figure her out?"

Taylor laughed "My dad is a director, remember? He's seen and used this plot in a bunch of scripts."

The two girls quickly lathered and rinsed before drying off and changing into their undies and street clothes. Julie stepped out of the shower drying her hair with her towel, and Taylor wrapped it in a turban-like fashion. They both took their combs out of their respective bags and combed their hair. They quickly finished and collected all of their belongings. Julie opened the door and stepped out first and Taylor followed. Just outside the door stood Charlie.

"Damn you girls take forever."

Julie shook her head "The little boy's room is that way Cap'n." Julie pointed to the opposite side of the room.

Charlie shook his head, "Actually I was waiting for Taylor. So Julie, can you make like a tree?"

Taylor laughed and Julie rolled her eyes dramatically, " I can tell when I'm not wanted."

The three laughed and Julie turned and headed outside. Taylor turned to Charlie.

"So what's up Charlie? I wouldn't want your girlfriend to attack me for talking to you."

Charlie shook his head and chuckled "I wouldn't out it past her. But I wanted to apologize for her. What she did was totally wrong. Had she slapped someone else, she probably would be floating face down in the pool right now."

The two laughed and Charlie massaged the back of his neck and continued. "You really proved yourself out there today. You showed everyone out there that you're the bigger person, and that is something that all the Ducks respect. Especially me." Charlie then took a few steps backwards as Taylor raised an eyebrow.

He waved "See ya' tomorrow Tay."

And with that he stepped outside, leaving a very intrigued Taylor standing in the middle of the pool house.

Taylor eventually stepped out of the pool house and walked outside. Most of the guests were starting to filter into the pool house. Guy, Connie, and Fulton were helping Adam clear up the snack table. Charlie and Linda stood on the other side of the yard talking to each other in loud whispers. She couldn't spot the rest of the out of state students. Taylor looked around then decided to ask Adam and the others, where her rode had gone. She walked over to the four, "Hey guys, where did the others go?"

"Oh, they just went to warm the car up." Adam said as he wiped his hands on his shorts "I'll walk you out to the car."

"Okay," Taylor said as she nodded, she hugged the three others, and followed Adam into the house.

Adam stuck his hands in his pockets and slowed his pace to match Taylor's, " I hoped you enjoyed the party. I had fun. I just hope you're a better softball player than you are a basketball player."

Taylor laughed and punched Adam in the arm.

"Why didn't you do that to Linda? Huh?"

Taylor laughed and playfully shoved him, before becoming serious "Adam can I ask you something?"

Adam nodded wondering what made her mood change

"How can such a clumsy guy, do something as graceful as skate?"

Taylor laughed and ran away from him, he quickly ran after her as she made it to the front door, and caught up to her before she could reach the car. He tackled her to the ground and began to intensely tickle her, much to the amusement of the teens sitting inside the car.

"Adam stop" Taylor cried out between her intense fits of laughter.

Adam shook his head "Not until you take it back."

"Never" yelled Taylor as everyone continued laughing; this only made Adam tickle her harder.

"Adam, I take it back. I surrender." Taylor pulled out her white towel and waved it in the air to emphasize she meant it. Adam stopped, and got up quickly wiping grass off his trunks. He offered Taylor his hand and she accepted. He pulled her up and she to wiped the grass off of herself. He helped her remove the grass that had been clinging onto the back of her shirt. Portman opened the door and stepped out. Adam walked her to the car and hugged her good-bye. Taylor crawled into the car and Portman patted Adam on the back, before also climbing into the car. Adam waved at everyone, and they did the same. "Bye cake-eater" was shouted out the window multiple times as the car pulled out of the driveway. Adam stood on the driveway, hands in his pockets, till he could no longer see the SUV.

(Later that Night)

Taylor sat cross-legged on her bed, munching on some pita bread and once again reading the city guidebook. Julie was on a date with Scooter, and said she would be back at around 10:30. It was barely 7 o'clock. She hadn't joined the others at the dinning hall. It had been torture on the ride back to the dorms; all everyone was talking to her about was the Linda and Adam incidents. She admitted that if Linda crossed the line again, she wouldn't hold back. She also told them that if they didn't shut up, she would come after them at night with her softball bat. Needless to say the rest of the ride was quiet one.

She put the book down and lay down on her bed. Her thoughts kept on drifting back to Charlie and Adam. They were both cute, but she could only see them as future friends. Charlie was the guy she would most likely hang out at the arcade with. The guy she would go to when she needed to have some fun. What he had said lingered in her mind. It was almost as if he had given her a seal of approval, and that meant something to her. Most of her life she had grown up being the odd one out. She had very little friends. She went to various preparatory schools in her young life. The result was always the same, people would pretend to be her friend in her face and talk bad about her behind her back. So it was nice to know that she was welcomed into a new social circle. Her life was never completely stable. Her father was never around, and various women flaunted in and out of her home whenever he was home. She never had a solid female figure to look up to.

She scratched her chin and shook the thoughts out of her mind. She flipped onto her stomach. Then there was Adam. He was the quietest of the group, and it was not easy to figure him out. He seemed to never let the real him shine through, and if he did the people around him didn't notice, they were busy with their own thing. Like when he was talking to Taylor earlier, he was about to tell her something that he felt, and then Goldberg interrupted him. Later in the day she had asked him about it, and he shrugged it off saying it wasn't important. She realized then that for the rest of her stay there she would have to get Adam to let loose a little more.

Her stomach grumbled loudly interrupting all thoughts in her head. She had only eaten a turkey sandwich and some pita bread since breakfast. The dinning hall was closed and she didn't want to sleep with an empty stomach. She got off her bed and walked over to the mini-fridge she had brought with her. She opened it and saw that the only thing in it was four bottles of mango-flavored aloe Vera juice. She shut the fridge door and remembered she had seen a small Chinese restaurant a block away. She grabbed her black bomber jacket, wallet, and keys and headed outside.

She soon returned with an order of brown rice and beef and broccoli. She walked over to her fridge and pulled out a bottle of aloe Vera juice. She was half way through her meal when she heard the sound of pebbles hitting her window. She took a sip of juice before opening her window she was about to stick her head out the window when a rock flew right by her head.

"Hey! Watch it!" Taylor yelled before sticking her head out her window. Fulton and Portman stood outside looking up at Taylor.

"Sorry," Fulton said

Taylor shrugged it off with a smile, "So what's up?"

"There's a party a couple of blocks away. Wanna come?"

Taylor bit her lip, "What kind of party? Is there going to be a live band?"

Fulton nodded "Yeah, it's more like a gig than a party."

Taylor smiled, "Sounds like my kind of party. I'll be down in 5minutes."

Taylor quickly shut her window and closed her blinds, much to Portman's disappointment. She opened her closet and pulled out her favorite stonewashed jeans, black Weezer baby doll tee, black suede blazer, and Vans checkered slip-on's. She shoveled a few more spoonfuls of her food in her mouth before putting the rest in her fridge. She quickly scribbled a note for Julie. After grabbing her keys, wallet, and bottle of juice she left the room locking the door. She ran downstairs, quickly finishing the juice.

She greeted Fulton and Portman, "Hey guys."

"Hey Tay. Listen, I hope you don't mind there's going to be some serious drinking at the party."

Taylor shrugged and walked ahead of the two "I just hope you guys don't mind me out drinking both of you."

Portman and Fulton looked at each other smiling and shaking their heads.

That's all! Hope you guys like the chapter, I really don't think it was that great, I might come back later and edit it.
