Disclaimer: I do not own of the Ducks, but I do own the original characters.
A/N: I'm glad you
guys enjoyed the last chapter with drunk/crazy Portman. I hope you
like this one too; it has one of my FAVORITE lines ever. It's so
cute. It wouldn't be an author's note if I didn't ask for
lovely reviews, so readers, review please.

Guy threw his blanket off as his body begged for fresh cold air and oxygen. He sat up, checking if Parker was sleeping on the bed with Cooper, like she was supposed to. But, she was nowhere to be found among the bodies scattered around, that hogged the air. Guy stood up, grabbed a shirt, and walked out of the room.
Portman was lying horizontal on the recliner chair, where his legs hung off, and his head was on the brink of detaching itself from his body. Parker was on the couch, knees up, and hugging her legs. She stared at the colorful dots creating a picture, watching the camera slowly approach a young Christina Ricci, who sat on a chair, alienated from the world created in her living room, in a white dress. A boy's hand stuck out at Ricci's character pleading for a dance, as she, bewildered, took the hand, who led her onto the dance floor. Parker smiled as the human version of Casper appeared.
"Connie and my sister love that kid," Guy said as Parker jumped a little in surprise. He walked to Portman, rearranging his head so it wouldn't snap off, knowing well that Portman was knocked out enough to not wake up.
"The world loves Devon Sawa, he used to be such a cutie." Parker looked up at Guy, "I used to think you looked like him at times."
Guy smirked and sat down, "Do I still look like him sometimes?"
Parker stared at Guy, "Not so much." He frowned, and she smiled. "Wait, wait. This is the best line in the whole movie."
'Can I keep you?' The soft audio streamed from the TV to Parker, who grinned like a little girl.
"I love that line, it's the best." Guy looked at Parker who stared at the TV, and he took her hand into his. She smiled to herself, and continued to watch the movie.

"Flashback," Fulton said as Jess, Cooper, Luis, and Fulton watched Parker and Guy sleep, heads leaned on the couch, and Parker's hand in Guy's.
"Poor, Portman." Cooper stood next to Portman, whose head rearranged itself into the neck breaking position, "Portman." She poked him and his eyes opened, a moan soon following after, "Mm, yeah, hangovers suck."
"Portman, you can sleep in Parker's bed," Jess suggested as he dug through his pocket to answer his cell phone, which was ringing quietly.
"What about Parker?" Portman's words faded away as he noticed the two on the couch to the right of him. "Right." Portman slowly got up, and slowly walked towards Fulton, who was in his shorts, revealing his bruised knees, "What happened to you?"
Fulton snarled, "You happened."
Portman, confused at what Fulton said, and the angry attitude that came with it, walked into the bedroom, as Max walked out.
"This phone was ringing, loudly, and quite annoyingly." Max handled Luis Guys' phone, as Max sat down next to Parker, gave a laugh, and put his head in Parker's lap as she woke up, pulling her hand from Guy, who woke up in a jolt. Luis walked away, as Cooper and Fulton smiled down at the two who looked confused, and frightened by the reaction they were going to hear about.
"Good night last night?" Fulton asked with a smile.
Parker nodded, "We watched Casper!"
Fulton raised an eyebrow towards Guy. "Casper? You hold hands with a girl to sleep, and it's because of Casper?" Guy looked tired and annoyed at the statement, as Fulton shrugged. "I'm just sayin."
"My little sister's having her birthday party this weekend, she's turning eight and," Jess walked back to the group. "We're all invited."
"Nikki." Parker stretched stating the name of Jess's little sister.
"Hey," Luis walked back to the group as well. "Connie, Charlie, and Ken are coming this weekend."
The group looked at each other.
"Its okay," Jess shrugged, "all of us can go."
Fulton grinned like a little boy, "The ducks are coming."
