Chapter 2: Surprising Dad and the Team

Once she shut down her baby down speculating weather or not to wonder into the Pond and see her father and the beloved team. Finally getting enough guts to adventure into the Pond to see her father, Peyton sprinted into the pond to discover the Ducks practicing, and she strolled down the steps of the arena to the seat behind her father. Tapping her father on his right shoulder, received a sideways glimpse of his daughter not doing a double take, and then let out a surprised yelp looking back at his only daughter.

The team was taking a break when Nosedive noticed the same girl that was in Captain Comics earlier. Nosedive skated over to Wildwing and inquired, "Is that the same girl, who told me about Duke's expression, talking to Phil."

Wildwing glanced up at the stands to see the very same young lady who he, Duke, and Nosedive encountered at the comic shop. "Yeah that is the girl we saw." replied Wildwing.

Phil stood up from his seat, strolled to his office, grabbed an envelope addressed to Peyton, and headed back to the rink. He handed the envelope to Peyton; she rapidly ripped the envelope and took out her diploma, while the ducks came down to truly meet her.

"Hey you are Peyton right." questioned Nosedive. Peyton gave a squawk, turned sharply in her seat, and stared at the team.

"Who is this angelic beauty?" inquired Duke as he took a seat behind Peyton to get a better view of her face.

"The names Peyton for your information." she stated before she turned to her father. "Oh by the way dad I have to tall you something."

"Dad!" yelled the team in surprising shock as they looked between Peyton and Phil.

"Can we discuss this in my office and not in front of the team?" interrogated Phil as he rubbed his forehead. Peyton stared at her father and shook her head denied her father. Phil let out an exasperated sigh and looked in between his daughter and the team.

"Guys this is my daughter Peyton; Peyton these are the Mighty Ducks: Wildwing, the leader, Nosedive, right forward, Mallory, left forward, Grin, defenseman, Tonya, defenseman, and Duke, center forward." Phil introduced pointing to each team member but his gaze lingering at Duke.

After the introductions Peyton bid everyone a farwell and decided to head home to her apartment.
