Chapter 1: The Acceptance Ceremony, Reveals And Coach Orion
After 4 years winning, the Mighty Duck got into Eden Hall academy, as their Coach Gordon Bombay prepared to pass them off to a friend of his. "Please welcome to the podium the head coach and leader of the Mighty Ducks: Gordon Bombay." he said and the crowd started clapping as Coach Gordon Bombay moved forward. 'So you are my next team incoming, alright guys, I get it, new coach, but like Yoda said, need to be open now and to everything here now."
'That I have to teach you, but god you 5 look like Jason, Claire, Dave, Rick and Joe, could you be my friends kids, and you son, my biological, son.' the J.V. coach thought gently to them, looking at the sextet grouped together with smiles on their faces then. 'Alright so Charlie Conway, Jesse Hall, Connie Monroe, Lester Averman, Guy Germaine and Gregory Goldberg. Rest of the team is Jesse's brother Terry, Tammy and Tommy Duncan, Adam Banks and Fulton Reed.'
'That's the Minneapolis Mighty Ducks, Junior Goodwill Games are Russ Tyler, Julie Gaffney, Luis Mendoza, Dwayne Robertson, Kenny Wu and Dean Portman. That's all 17, yes okay, that's my main group, so where are you, you little brat, they kick you guys off the team. You quit, what exactly right now.' he thought sternly, as knowing them meeting now was erasing said shock, as they got used to his being the coach, and they turned to him that year as they got it together.
'Then again why need that exactly, why need to adjust, Jared introduced us, during the third game of the season. Before a close call rescue, but we met when he was 11, after he saved my daughter, to him, he is my son. I'm his father, and we're beyond close, but my babies, my ducklings, though teenage ducks that grew their wings in. Still my babies, in the 11, I love my babies with everything in me, we'll be fine here.' he thought with fatherly pride then gently.
"Alright guys new training, we're getting used to whoever is training us, but if it's dad, and we're hearing that tone all the time now. But he already gave us the lesson on blue collar hockey, and with it here now. Side panels on the goal, and right behind it, and the score itself, we knew the lessons and we're exercising them now. But if those guys return, and I'm in charge, so no matter what Peter says, my decisions never steer us wrong." he heard from his captain gently.
And the team nodded. "Yeah we been looking forward to this for 3 years, playing for your adoptive father, and our dream came true now. He trained us well, now he's he our final one, no more switching coaches, we had two full ones." he heard from a teenage version to his best friend and he chuckled at that remark. "Yep, and we stick together now, so same as before, but we got high school one, we hear that in parent all the time." his son said gently and he smiled.
'Yeah no kidding buddy, but it's me, you get me now, so there we go, alright guys, Julie, you have to get used to this. But the 11 know and knew me for 3 years, I'm Charlie's adoptive father here.' The J.V. Coach thought gently at that as he heard a smile then. "What you want a bet Coach Orion is it exactly?" he heard from his original Banks's younger brother and he chuckled. "No bet, I don't doubt it is, but we get our entire 5 years with him." he said and they smiled.
"Hold up Gordon, hey Son, just where is Peterson Marks and Dave Karp?" he called out to him and he watched the teenager, now obviously looking like him as the teenager, looked around and his eyes landed on him then. "After they bailed on us during the games, the 11 of us and Coach Bombay threw them off the team, dad, but frankly I was glad they bailed on us. Ever since Connie decided on a fast experiment of seeing how well I do without them here to distract me."
"Worked well actually, but new coach means a TBD, you got it, I can go without it till you, if you're it, decides the timer is up. The Coach, your version is my adoptive father, we met 3 years ago, after said thinning ice incident." he said and they nodded. "These guys are gone huh, what they do this time exactly, if you threw them off the team?" he asked and he crossed his arms. "Wanting to know if Adam was coming, I said yes and they bailed." he said to him then gently.
"Still holding to said lie that they over heard after the fight between Gordon and Reilly, are we?" he asked and his son nodded. "Yep, unfortunately that choice, though worked out well, we had another case of loyalty issues, that resulted in nearly all of us. Now ending up in the P.T. session from heck the night of the Iceland game, but out of state members. Have no idea in who they're messing with, when it comes to you, you trained us in the off season." he said gently to him.
"That why you're so good, you got training from him?!" one of them said in shock then. "We never had an assistant coach, till dad filled in that role right now between movie 1. To movie 2, which harbors the question, and till after Les's needing a fast gulp of water. After getting the elbow to the stomach, I told him that my father took us on, we've been at it for 5 months. Prior to his getting back to town now." he said and the leader of the quintet nodded in shock then.
"Frankly I don't know if he is my dad or not, we adopted each other as father and son, after I saved my baby sister from drowning in the lake. But if he is, well I don't need to worry and I'm not changing from how you knew me the last 2 years. Because though Bombay turns us over to him, I'm content, because I'm with my dad." he said and the new black boy on the team smiled. "He's the Coach Ted Orion, as in North Stars #25 Ted Orion." he said and they all nodded then.
"Off season mentor, for 3 years, and now full time Coach, we knew him for 3 years, we hear that tone day in and day out here. So we're used to this, but compared to Bombay, he's a full time teacher and high school hockey Coach, one of the best. Problem is here is that his last team, Jared's team, were refusing to conform and from what they learned. And from our version's peewee coach, our parent's age group's hockey coach, he's dangerous, in all truth here now."
"But hockey coach and teacher, the older we get, the sterner they need to be, so watch it." he said and they nodded. "Guys, I'm not kidding the attitude he will not tolerate, after you destroyed the stool at the time, but rephrase that implication, from two years prior. You leave, or mutiny, you're benched, so think twice, and then think again, before he benches you. Indefinitely." he said and the quintet all paled at that remark then, realizing it finally at that.
"Peter had the tendency to drive away our coaches, and nearly did with Bombay, because he never wanted a fixed schedule. So they can continue to play disgusting and dangerous jokes, after school schedule, practice, study period. And then go home for dinner, in that order now, but in all truth here now, he's the Coach our team needs. But we're growing from ducklings, to teenage Ducks, the older we get the stricter the coach gets." he said and the leader nodded.
As he swallowed hard, realizing his reaction was enough to get him the riot act now, as their coach nodded. "Indeed, and I suggest you consider that well, after Charlie phoned me, to tell me you picked a fight with that player, after he missed breaking Adam's arm. Before he also told me that you 4 sided with the tanked up hothead, while the 7 were saved from said. By Charlie stepping in, before he could get the words out." he said and the quintet nodded quickly then.
"As for Peterson and David, well they get in trouble one more time, this is the end of the road for they're still acting like ducklings, it's time to grow up now. So you threw them off the team, but with the way things are going, they're facing, to them. The coach of their worst nightmare here, for you, you wanted a coach like me anyway now. Because we actually sound like a parent to you guys now, after they failed, the first test on Gordon's return here right now in truth."
"Of reporting in for the season, before the season even starts here, while the 11 of you reported in immediately, though I was watching from the bleachers. But you guessed right guys, it's me, you get me now, but wish granted, I'm the last one now, we get your entire 5 years." he said and he nodded and the 10 smiled in delight. "Yeah that's it exactly dad, but they only gotten worse, you know how Peter sees you." he said and the man nodded, crossing his arms sternly.
"Yeah we do baby, and frankly here, it doesn't matter who the coach is, your father or Gordon, that reaction in the first game is juvenile. They used to feel the same way about him they did Gordon, so the only thing that needs to change here is that attitude problem." His mother Casey said sternly and the faculty nodded in stern annoyance. "And that's the you we know, you've never changed, because you always had a constant positive male influence in your life here."
"So with you guys we can expect the way you are with Gordon, in the case of you and your father now, in the 11 of you, only the sextet. Are the ones getting to know him, and soon, same bond with him they have with Gordon, Charlie." the dean said to him then. "Expect trouble Dean, because with us being the true Duck, 4 years, as they only recently started 2 years ago. I think Russ was watching our mannerisms and started imitating us, but to answer that now."
"Exactly, but my rival, his name Peterson Marks, nickname of Peter now, the guy is a wise guy and J.D., they're close to J.H. now. As for David Karp: said prank is now Halloween pranks with the Easter candy, and you're wasting perfectly good chocolate. And when the syrup itself, as they make it for Halloween though you can make from scratch here, is in short supply. But both together though is you're wasting perfectly good both this way now." he said and they nodded.
"And just how many times can one get lucky, before it happens finally here, and the time it does is when I got you in training, all summer, but you accepted the schedule, enjoy it. And now everything that comes with it, my being an educator." his father said sternly and they nodded. "Yep, and for years I saved their buts, and now the one time it does happen, is the time Les and I are in training, 9 to 3, regular practice, and 3 to 5, skating practice." he said and he nodded.
"Luis is still having trouble with the brakes, and keeps running into things here." he explained and his father nodded. "And your wings just grew in, he's having a tough time adjusting that altitude, but have to learn harness those brakes, before you crash into a car next, kiddo. Being as your feathers on one wing got clipped, so school starts those feather grew back. And time to take flight finally for your first school season under me." he said and the team nodded smiling.
"I call that furthering us, he's helping adjust the training from 14 to college and we became so good, that our opponents are wondering what he's teaching us after the season ends." Adam said and the Dean chuckled and nodded, knowing their side of the 17 were looking forward alot to that coming season. "Don't worry Coach, we'll be fine, but the duo back, things are bad, they just keep getting worse, we have to hold it together." Guy said and Gordon nodded sternly.
"J.D., he's a juvenile delinquent?" their history teacher asked and he nodded as he crossed his arms. "Did Mrs. Rosen mention a riot in science class?" Charlie asked and his new biology teacher nodded. "She's my sister, baby." she said and he nodded. "Then the part she never heard was a case of crude innuendo here, in the you know sense. With the fact we got cubs younger then 13 here right now, but he insulted my mother's honor." he said and they nodded.
"The he being Karp, and seeing red I slammed him into the wall, before Connie tried to break it up." he said and she nodded. "David that's enough to get you detention for 6 months, young man." she said in shocked fury, realizing that was what caused the riot in class. "The Coach, your version could be mom's ex boyfriend, or worse for them, my real father. That everyone in the family, that's team family find this out, it's dead duck walking here now in truth now, Mam."
"But she just never expected me to walk into him, I mean right into him since then, but if not boyfriend, he's my real father, and my version currently. I love him and I grew attached here to him, but after he left for the minors, Jess's father. He was acting assistant Coach with our driver, till dad called the league reps telling them he was holding the head coach position. Till Coach got back here, to these idiots, the Coach dating my mother is like the captain dating Beverly now."
"He could be my godfather, if things had been different my step father." he said and they crossed their arms. "To say this now, insult my family, I will not be held responsible here for my actions, because every jerk prior only liked her. But as soon as they caught a glimpse of me, they're gone, thankfully she never got remarried. Knowing if I found my father, I never needed another dead beat step dad." he said and the faculty nodded sternly to the reveal at the news.
"And I'm dating your tutor now, but I'm staying here and working from home, but I'm taking a step or 2 back, for the season prep for next school season guys. I train our next incoming, your father has you, but your jerseys numbers are deactivated. In the Ducklings till they replace you, as the next one incoming here, as they reactivate right now." Gordon said and he nodded. "Well you're our lawyer in addition to former coach now, Coach." Guy said and their new coach smiled.
"If he is my dad, he's the type I preferred, but school teacher and Coach, everything I needed in a positive male influence was him, or our coach." he said and they nodded to him as he went on. "The 10 knew this right now, but ever since, they had a serious annoyance to down right hatred for Peter, as he nearly got rid of our current one. But to the 10, they had what I don't, and these two idiots nearly drove away the closest thing I can come to it." he said and they all nodded.
"Insult to your family honor and with it right now, nearly drove away your latest, when you need a positive male influence, yes okay, your reaction, we can let that go." the Dean said sternly and she and their history teacher nodded. "This portion of it was Karp, now Peter was the cause of destruction in nearly wrecking the rest of the season for us. That was him actually, but he lied to the team, but the Coach really meant the Hawks are losers, because they went to every idea."
"Everyone, but offering a little off the top, but because I side with my godfather, if he is, I'm immediately a traitor, for siding with you. That if they revoke those scholarships because of one close game and two shut outs, then this is revenge for us bilking them this year's tuition." he said and the entire faculty crossed their arms and with them was the student body. "But Fulton and I immediately sided with your train of thought at the time, and to them we're traitors."
"Our adults, as our teachers, parents or Coach, and with me is Fulton, while I know for a fact, he blackmailed Les' side with him. Or he tells you, about the other version to this that nearly caused a $30,000 3-car pile up on the street it started with." he said and she nodded in fury at that. "And to say it now, we need Fulton protecting Constance and Tamara, and while Adam helps you with the shooting, he, that's Fulton, is an enforcer." the Dean said in shocked fury.
"Why you vicious little monster, yes I see why you wanted us to know that information, so what kind of prank is this exactly, if he's using these two items." His counterpart Coach of the baseball said sternly then. "You remember the near bi-secting in the park that day, the three of you." Charlie said and the trio nodded. "So that connected to this, well the Varsity's image is forever destroyed in hockey, they're a vicious gang of rich brats." His history teacher said sternly then.
"And that's one way to get us to understand this, we got your version of the events, getting to know you over the summer, before you start school. Though these guys get in trouble and cause a real one, we're all sounding like Robin did with the kid playing his son. After knocking the breathing masks hatch open, when he was already scared of flying." She added and he nodded. "Tell me about it, we're used to that tone with you, being 8th graders next year as for this one."
"And it's candy cordials with the chocolates next to it, but here's the disgusting part right now, you're not going to like, but they remove the candy wrapper and fill it to the top. With the fake blood now, so any person that never smashed this thing, thinks they ran over a pet rabbit. If it escaped the cage and went out the window, or worse, what's next month." he said and he nodded. "Easter's in 3 weeks, and we let out for Good Friday." she said and he nodded gently.
"Candy cordials Halloween version, but that would be, if that is sitting in the middle of the road, without the wrapping…." the football coach started to say and their entire class nodded in disgust. "Yeah it's what you're thinking here, and Greg is Jewish, so this is not only disgusting, but total blasphemy right now, in the meaning of the holiday next month." he said and the adults all nodded in disgusted shock then as one them said it for all of them sternly then.
"Oh my god that's disgusting." his history teacher said, picturing that in his mind and he nodded. "Dad saw everything, after telling him the truth, I reversed this and being as these idiots are a couple repeat offenders. And knowing I found him finally, I knew dad would disapprove of the second try as cheating is not allowed. And as a result here, after we won our first season now, my life took a total switch around, in my saving my adoptive baby sister."
"That I changed and grew up, but these idiots are going down, but they're not taking Les' and me with them right now, as Les and I changed and grew up. They keep this up, it's a case of Jennings and Douglas now, so watch your back, because if they thought I'm bad. They never seen dad lose his temper entirely as dad's worse." he said and they nodded gently. "Yeah finding your adoptive father was for the best, look at you now." she said and he nodded smiling then.
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I deflected it like 350 times, and it always seems to be the same driver and counterpart driver that nearly catches it. But they're working the construction site these idiots ran through, as 1 more time and the prank could turn deadly. It does, they're facing being thrown here as a last ditch effort to clean up their acts. And before being sent to the city reform school, Les' and I were working for my uncle, Derek Jacobs, dad arrived, tried to arrest them."
"And from there is it started a case of repeated encounters together, so though I love our new coach, I bonded to my adoptive father, or real if he's my appearance. When as an adult, though he is, just age my voice 20 years." he said and the faculty chuckled. "You sound just like him, but looks, voice, mannerisms, you're him at 14 years old, kiddo." the basketball coach said smiling and Casey Conway, nee' Jacobs chuckled and the Coach smiled in affection then gently.
"But me golden child, I can do no wrong, in anyone's eyes, or Peter to you…." he said and they nodded. "As the devil's spawn getting in trouble every time we turn around, yeah you're right, but this brat could be a sociopath with these stunts. But that's like the crash dummy Mac threw over the bridge here." Dean Derek Buckley said sternly and his adoptive father and new coach nodded sternly as Gordon crossed his arms. "Our meet and greet?" he asked and they nodded.
"And I'm quoting this opinion from the Hawks point of view, but the determination it takes to plan it out with a purse and fresh dogs drops, that's the act of sociopath, isn't it?" he asked and the school guidance counselor nodded in stern disapproval and disgust. "Yes and these brats are close to the edge, but you're turning 14, or 15, your feathers and wings are growing in. But this is childish and beyond sick, it's time to grow up!" Buckley said sternly to this and he nodded.
"When I got a going on 9 year old sister, that's the understatement of the century, my baby sister, she needs a good role model." he said and said little girl looked down smiling and Casey chuckled at that response. "Like my own does, the girls are our entire world, we would do anything for them, like the cat said take good care of them." Adam said, looking at his sister, his eyes loaded with love and she smiled at him. "Love you too brother." she said, smiling at him.
"Which is where the boom is being laid, if I get struck in my still healing injury, if they break my ribs now for whatever reason, paraphrased as what you'd say now, dad." Charlie said and his father nodded. "Indeed, we all knew it's only been a week, it's too soon for this, and you weren't supposed to be playing." his swimming counterpart said. "You got 2 choices here gentlemen: either you take off the original jerseys right now or you don't play." his father said sternly then.
"But what the heck is the matter with you two, just when are you going to stop acting like a child exactly?" the baseball coach said sternly and the entire team nodded sternly. "Grow up!" every adult in the school said together and he nodded. "I think if that book was real, it's they'd rather stay children forever, which is why they stayed in a place that kept them young. But time dilation, the person you loved grows old, case in point is Maggie." Charlie said to this gently.
"They want to stay children, while as soon as you threw them off the team, you all started growing up, after finding me, well that I understand. But though teenage to young adults, to us, still our children, no matter how old you get son." he said to him gently then. "You boneheads, that fight is basically the argument here Robin had with his son right now. After he missed another game, we're not ducklings, anymore time to grow up!" Guy said sternly to this then.
"Saying of which, there's a white feather here, looks like's someone lost a feather, it's a pekin feather." a girl said and he nodded. "We're Pekins in human form, but I don't think any of us are molting right now." Adam said and they started laughing at that. "Well whoever was, is molting his down and it's being replaced by feathers now, but there we go. But at least none of us are fluffed right now, it being 58 degrees right now." he said and his father chuckled at the remark.
"Alright guys, that's enough of the feather jokes." the coach said and they and Charlie nodded smiling. "I know you're ducks, but if the 11 ducks in a flock, we see walking around the farm are you, then their baby siblings are you dressed in the green with gold." Buckley said and they nodded. "Yeah this was a preteen to teenage design, but our green ones are officially retired, and we're dressed in school versions to our current ones, so we molted our down finally now."
"I never created the school version to our current ones, but they look like these with fire engine red, turquoise and gold mixed in. That's the away games, but the home games they're completely red with the turquoise and gold stripes on the bottom. So we got our versions to the school colors, we're still us, we're just the new J.V. to Varsity team." he said and they nodded. "You better stop molting, before you go bald here." a basketball player said and he chuckled.
"To any that don't understand the meaning, fluffed is where a duck puffs out his feathers to stay warm here if they jumped in water when below freezing. But a pekin, they look like an eagle when they fluff, but we're humanoid Pekins here in our case, but we're teenage ones. Losing our down, and growing our wings and feathers in, but we're not sure which version we are. Yet, by that I mean regulars or jumbos." he said and 3/4's of the school nodded with an amused smile.
"Quack." they heard in response and they nodded as Buckley chuckled at the remark and opinion. "Tell me about it Plucky, but we're teenage ducks, trapped between being ducklings at the moment. And growing in our feathers here, but our stage at this level now, is we're just a teenage duckling to our parent duck who is 6 inches taller than we are here." Charlie said and they heard an understanding quack to that news and his father chuckled at that remark then.
And as they heard a quack. "Yeah good name for me, yeah okay, my name is Plucky now." he translated and they chuckled. "Is your brother's flock hanging around, boy?" he asked and they heard an affirmative quack to the question. "I take it like us, you just grew in your wings and turned white." he asked and he got a gentle affirmative quack to that. "Yeah I did, my down faded entirely, my feathers and wings grew in and I'm white now." he read out and they smiled.
"I'm over here, brother, off to your left, on that platform!" he read through a quack and they looked and saw a young Jumbo Pekin no bigger then normal sized Pekin and smiled. "We're Pekins in human form here, but I think his father is even bigger here." he said and his father nodded. "We're either regular ones or jumbos son, but if we're jumbo's, there's an 18 to 20% difference in size here, but they're 3/4's of a yard tall and weigh 15lbs." he said and he nodded.
"Quack" "Quack" they heard and saw 16 more and they started laughing then. "Well that's us in Duck form, alright where's your father?" Guy asked and they heard a 17th, as a duck, who was 5 inches taller then the 17, stepped forward and they nodded smiling at that. "Donald, is now really the best time for this, you're not human, you can't come in red rock school." Their coach said, smiling to him, and he gave him a quack then and Charlie closed his eyes as he held it in.
"Alright young man pull yourself together, before I really give you something to laugh about." his father said to him and he nodded. "You guys are cute, though teenagers, you still look like ducklings." a teenager said and they gave a quack to the compliment. "We're actually the flock that responded to the quack branch, after Charlie was going around the farm. When getting his own flock for black circle." Plucky said with a quack and Adam started laughing at that news.
"The Games and the team round up, they're the 17 ducklings we saw on the lake." Guy said smiling and the faculty nodded. "Choosing our symbol, we look all cute and cuddly, but we can be as dangerous as a raptor bird, remember that. Miyagi looked like a push over, but don't push him, he's dangerous." Charlie said and the faculty nodded smiling. "But we're ducklings to papa Duck, papa raised us as he trains us, we're happy." he said and his father smiled in pride then.
"Yeah my babies are growing up, but 5 years left, we're making the time count, I'm your mentor, huh guys?" he asked and they nodded. "So that's you at preteen to young teenager phase entering the 8th grade now?" their history teacher asked and the 17 nodded smiling. "Looks like they decided to show you what we look like at our current age, if we were real ducks. In a way we're still ducklings, to our father duck, who is close to 6 inches taller then we are."
"But we've carried the name so long, our animal instincts of what we are show deeply here, but the flock, or team, is forever, we can't make it without the team, don't know how to." Charlie said and Plucky gave a quack of agreement, as his flock surrounded him. "Carrying the title of the true alpha of the team, well you don't need it when you been doing it so long. It stuck with you, carrying the symbol of that title or not, you are the true alpha." he said and he quacked.
"I'll take that for a 'yeah, I don't need my broken circle to know I'm alpha of the flock, I can lead with or without it, but Dizz returns to the flock, we're asking for trouble.'." Russ said and he nodded in agreement. "And we're showing them what a real alpha truly is now, we lead the flock, we're the face of the flock. But baby now, the next duckling incoming are we're being the role model, so what we do, they want to imitate." he said and Plucky gave a stern quack to that.
"How big do these flocks get if they have 16 teenagers, and one adult right now?" they heard and Buckley chuckled. "They're a family group made up of three age groups, totaling up to 70 members, at times the teenage travels together, when they leave the nest." his successor said and knew they nodded. "For the 11 of us, we been doing it so long, we're true ducks, the sextet were entering their final phase here, but they're Ducks now." Adam said and he nodded then.
"But when traveling around town, we're always together here, so being like them, hey guys, break off, 11 and 6, okay." Charlie said and they quacked and separated, as 10 of them got behind Plucky and their Father positioned himself in front of them. "Okay that's playing out as the home town side of the flock, the sextet are our new additions to the team. And guys, you smack me, you get the wing to the back, understood." their coach said as Donald quacked that.
"Yes dad." they all said together as the 11 quacked that to Donald, and everyone started laughing at that. "Yeah us or you, nothing ever changes, huh guys?" Russ asked and his counterpart quacked in agreement. "Point taken here, the hometown team are so bonded to their new coach it's like being around their dad here. While the new additions start seeing him as an uncle, as hometown flies around the farm together." Buckley said and they nodded then.
Before one of the sextet left the quintet and moved behind Plucky and they nodded. "I think that's me, I decided to separate from my sextet, and join the 11 now, to be a full time Duck. I was never on another team prior, when I played, it was for myself, outside of the system. Now, I'm officially part of the team, part of the whole, I have a family, a flock, my true friends." he said and Charlie's adoptive father as their new coach nodded gently as Charlie smiled at him.
As the 11 gave a quack, and one of them leaned in to say something to Plucky and he gave a quack to him and one of them smacked him in the head. "Quack." Donald said and he looked down and Casey started laughing. "I think that means don't get smart with me, or your nested young man, that's enough of the jokes right now boys. And start the fight right now, you're boxed." Charlie said and Donald gave a quack and his father nodded with a bemused smile then.
"That's you and me dad, but…" he started to say and then saw a female one standing next to Donald as she quacked at his and he gave a quack to her gently. "Honey don't start right now, like your peer, you're preparing for big school black circle, and guys. That's enough of the blows to the head now, enough playing." Casey said smiling and they gave a quack to confirm that thought. "That's my parents and me, with me at my current age." Charlie said and they nodded.
"With 5 years left, being the perfect son and big brother here, nothing's changed and won't till we start college right now. But best friend, skilled captain, star student, and perfect son and brother, that's me. As long as I have the team, my flock, I can handle things here just fine, and it's the same for the 10, we're a true flock: Fly together forever now." Charlie said and they nodded smiling as Plucky gave a quack gently as one of them left a wing across his back.
"Yeah Connie I think that's your counterpart, your arm across my back, her wing on his." he said and she smiled and nodded. "Yeah you're my brother, but the 17 we saw on the lake are us at 12 years old, this is us, 18 months our side, 1.2 months their's now. We been together so long, can't break habit, we eat together, school and training, travel together. We're a flock, the flock is family, leave the flock is lonely, and want to return home." she said and he nodded then gently.
"Then that would explain you skating up to school on the first day, you immediately start acting like a flock, you're the city born flock, the ones we know and knew for sure. Having been raised with this." Buckley said and Charlie nodded. "Exactly, we eat together, travel together, class and training, even though different training teams, we're a flock. Hard to break habit and why should we now, even not wearing our current jerseys, we're ducks, we fly together, when separated."
"It's lonely, can't survive without the team, we don't know how to." he said and the quintet exchanged worried looks, now realizing the side effects. "But being a team means being a squadron, basically, dad's a soldier here, you train together. Eat together, share dorms, study, you live life as a team when in training here, this summer is the adjustment period. Since they returned to their own teams, they never considered this, as soon as the games ended now."
"We reverted back to being our own team, while they returned to their hometown teams, we belonged to our own. You're seeing how good we are, during the off season championships now, where my age group goes at it one last time. And before we retire our peewee jerseys, and start high school the following year, dressed in said school's colors. Though we keep our gear and hats, in this case, the 11 of us know what we're getting into with you, we been at it longest."
"To know these things, but we're now a single unit, as a team, a flock." he said and the faculty nodded, as the quintet exchanged looks. "That's the side effect when you spend this long as a Duck on the team, the mannerisms become so engrained into your behavior. It's hard to break habit?" their single girl said shaking, not realizing the side effects then. "Though we're very social animals, the flock is our home, it's like Chris's description on being a gang in the book."
"You don't stick together, make like family, it's not a gang anymore, but with you learning Bombay's teaching strategy leading into the championships. You never that's how he trained us, before the egg cracked, and soon we're acting like them." he said, pointing at Plucky and his flock and they exchanged scared looks. "From the tone of your voice, you don't want to leave your old teams, to initiate fully into being a Duck, is that it?" their new member said sternly.
"Yeah and Russ I inducted you fully into the flock after the bemused smile he gave you." Charlie said and he smiled at him. "Just stop annoying your alter ego, before you kill each other, he's Zack, you're Rocky." his girl counterpart said and Casey started laughing at that remark. "But I call this a low point in the team you 5, but if you don't want the scholarships, just back out now. As once his father takes command of us, we're a pre academy squadron, we eat together."
"Train together, study, we're a flock, a squadron is a team." Guy said sternly and the quintet felt that stab them in the hearts. "Well I'm not backing out, I'm here to stay, I can do this, you're my flock, I'm here to stay right now, so what you tell me on our Varsity counterparts. He touches you, if Karp or Peter breaks your ribs, there will be heck to pay, you're my boss." Russel 'Russ' Tyler said and their coach, Charlie's adopted father nodded in approval to that opinion.
"With us seeing you flying around the city in skating practice here, we know that all too well, however you 5, I saw that you 5. And I agree with him right now, but never knew that people, so with that in mind here, so why the embarrassment. If your team ended up in the wrong spot, are the 6 of you ducks or not here?" A coach said firmly and the quintet flinched at that. "He makes a good point in calling you out for it, in my office." Buckley said to them sternly then.
"If you get embarrassed along with the rest of the school, said are the preppies, then no, you're not a true Duck." Jared said and they swallowed hard. "Kenny, I suggest you watch your words carefully, if Dean has a business trip that same two months. During our adjustment period, I'm in charge here, but can the preppie like attitude. And because you were once a figure skater, that doesn't make you better than the rest of us." Russ said to him sternly and he nodded.
And quickly then. "Like them, I'm a city kid, Richfield, is like the area of L.A. I live in, this is home when I'm in boarding school, but I'm a true Duck. And after Charlie inducted me into the team, before I proved myself during his scouting now. Let me guess you're all from Sally's side of the city in San Fransisco, Bangor, Dallas, Miami or Chicago. Not me, I'm from the district like Richfield, I earned this?" he asked and the quintet all paled, realizing they sounded like snobs.
"Thank you, there's the point, we didn't have much, but what we did, we offered to help out, and our District proved it. We changed, but if you're all acting like Adam, before he changed and became one of us over night, then no, you're not a true Duck. Though Russel is, and with that, I suggest you check the attitude at the door, like Phil. I live on the edge of the lake, but I see it as a fresh beginning, but that attitude I do not tolerate." their Coach said and they nodded quickly.
"Not them, Dean, Coach, not them, I'm from L.A. and embraced this whole heartedly, the quintet are still in the adjustment period, after Charlie made me an an honorary Duck. But they immediately took the word of a tanked up hothead, before Charlie froze things. In the oncoming punishment and I immediately sided with Charlie and the 7, so I am a true Duck. Charlie's my best friend, so following my alpha, he has his father, he'll be fine, but he's my leader here."
"Like the 10, I follow only him now, when I'm living here right now." he said and Buckley nodded to him. "Yeah I remember Charlie got off the phone with me, telling me he recruited you after you parked yourself right behind the team box. And soon you decided to help him with acting like your adult doubles and a true pro team." Their Coach said and he nodded. "I know but the quintet were still bent out of shape, before Charlie said it was a test." he said and they nodded.
"Test?!" Kenny Wu said and Charlie nodded sternly. "Yeah we had that fight already over Adam, and before I realized it finally, he only joined the Hawks. And to help pay for his sister's medical bills, his brother was working over time on the candy sales here at the school. So he could bring in enough, and to quote Diane now, wouldn't we, as District 5, help a District 6. Especially if we thought we could, District 6: the Socs, District 5: the Greasers." he said and they all paled then.
"That attitude after you actually cover your faces, if we crash the opening ceremony says you're a Soc, rather then a Greaser, you sold out, to get in with the preppies." he said and the quintet swallowed hard at that. "Russ is our only equal, tough life, his father is hard working, trying to earn enough to put food on the table. We're not preppies, we're city kids, bordering on low income families, so can the attitude here, but follow the troublemaker you get boxed now."
"Follow me, you stay out of trouble, remember that." he said and the quintet swallowed hard at that. "Then why would you tell Connie to stay with Guy on look out?" he asked and Adam swung his head at that. "She's my younger sister, though we're 6 weeks apart, I'm Jason, she's Kimberly, I never left her side, and making sure these losers never attack her. I keep her with Guy, so he can protect her, till I get back to her now." he said and Dean Portman swallowed.
"The 8 of us, Terry and the Duncans, we're city born Ducks, that's us, when we travel together, we never been separated in our lives the last 4 years. Till the Goodwill Games and when we have that, suddenly we have the same fight just in a new variation. But you guys are jealous at the way we act together, but each of you is a loner, from a different city. We're all from a team, a single team here right now, but you insulting his honor, crossed a line." he said sternly to this.
"Raised in a flock for 4 years, sure carrying new colors, but dad never broke us up, it's time to let go of the past and move on right now. But thing of it is, when all is said and done, at the end of the day, we're these guys, a flock for life. We travel together, go to school together, being room mates for a few weeks, that fused the link shut. But you guys are new to this life style, but Russ understands, as for Bombay and I'm being honest, have you ever watched our first."
"In movies before you came into the picture, the fight in the locker room, when Peter sold the others that lie?" he asked and they shook their heads. "Well Bombay used to be a Hawk, he was Adam's number, but he messed up a penalty shot. And it stuck with him all his life, creating a lie saying he thought we were losers, when he really meant the Hawks. This resulted, after the duo insult his and my mother's honor now, it put us in detention." he said sternly and they paled.
"Listen to the way Jesse phrased it at the time, the 8 of us were getting worried, the 8 of us ran a test here, when Fulton alerted the 7 of us to that fact. I realized this was a test right now, before he saw the busted stool, before the punchline. In truth got you in so much trouble, we nearly end up in night practice for 2 weeks, so way to go. But this won't be that, not anymore dad is beyond firm, you agree with the troublemaker, you're benched, so be a team player."
"Follow the true captain we stay together, through thick or thin, follow the troublemaker you get cut and are banned from practice till you wise up." he said and they paled at that. "My father is a skilled coach of 5 years, he's also a teacher, but he's exactly the coach we needed. So just say he had been A.C., he gives that ultimatum now, control the attitude right now. Or you don't play, in the case of the duo, that's either you take off the old jerseys right now or you don't play."
"Peter walks out that door, and he says it, he's been ejected from the team till he stops throwing a temper tantrum and starts acting his age again. Anyone follows him same thing, but despite the tough demeanor, he's a great teacher, great mentor. The 10 and I love him, love Bombay, we'll follow them right into the flames if they asked us too. But it's a hard image to live up to, your players, your subordinates, they all adore you, they'd do whatever you asked them to do."
"Even following them right into the flames, or right over a cliff, that's why the 10, or 11, with Russ joining in, will only listen to me, I have that demeanor." he said and they nodded then, as their new Coach crossed his arms, as he saw the love in his and the 10's eyes for him. "Love you too guys, this is full time now, we're together for good, so spring and summer adjustment. And then we kick it to high gear next season." he said and the 12 nodded gently smiling at him then.
"Which is why disappointing Picard was a knife to the heart now, his mother, his crew, Picard, for years he had that driven into his head, Picard was everything. That's everything that the gardener described Locarno to be, for years he listened to him. But what if he decided, after a sabbatical try again and come home, as Riker married Deanna. He's there for one last mission, that's this now, if dad had been there at the games, well with him distracted dad had it, had us."
"You ever consider that was a test during the Germany game right now, the 8 of us were faking it, knowing this talk was long in coming, every time something. That's something like this happens, it goes right to his head right now, to the point. That he forgets what it was he taught us, or starts drinking again, but he convinced us, that's the guys, Connie and me. And before we utilized it, our V, and then ending results were we crushed them." he said to them sternly then.
"With dad right now, in truth, Bombay created us, but dad furthers us right now, sure we lose our current jerseys for a few weeks, but no big deal. We got our school jerseys, carrying 2/3's of the Team USA logo, and our new symbol right now. But those colors are the Eden Hall colors, so we create our own version to them, hats included and bingo. We're the Eden Hall Mighty Ducks now, so new traditions gets starts, others remain, but dad, don't start with him right now."
"But again, don't start with the attitude and 2) you don't want to get in trouble, stop following the resident trouble maker on the team, I may not be wearing my C. But it doesn't matter, I am captain of the team, C or no C, so 1), stay out of trouble, 2) control the attitude. And 3) and I am not kidding, stay clear of the Varsity, Jared and Scooter are fine, but the 24. They're possibly Varsity Hawks, they are, we're not giving them the satisfaction of knowing they got to us."
"And anyone throws the first punch the psyche test is blown so stay clear, is that clear." he said and they all nodded sternly to the orders. "Ducks group up." he added and they nodded. "Quack, quack." Plucky said to his flock and they quacked and surrounded him, before they saw 7 standing outside the flock looking down sadly and as the 12 stayed next to Donald. "Well that read it out, the duo are David and Peterson, Donald is me." his father said and Charlie nodded.
"And the quintet is the 5 for listening to a 13 year old version of the biggest troublemaker inside this team, but never again, they stick by me, they stick with you. The aim, the 11 of us wanted for 3 years, or they listen to Peter and are benched and banned. And till they stopping acting like a 6 year old and grow up, Russ say it, as opportunities like this. They don't come by all the time, we're not going through it again, we're a team, a flock, that's us." he said gently then.
"Look man, we're in on scholarship, 'I'm' staying." he said and the quintet felt their hearts fall at that, he was a true Duck, not an outsider, he loved hockey, was like the 11. "The 12 of us are a flock, you all play for a different city district in 5 states, but Russ talks the way we do. Our hood, preppies, we worked hard to get into the academy, we earned those scholarships. You have the money, so why need them?" he asked and the quintet's parents nodded as Gordon nodded then.
Pointing at the 11, they saw the 10 surrounding Plucky as one of them rubbed their head against Plucky's neck and the quintet felt their hearts sink, realizing they never knew Gordon. "This is us after 4 years together, and you barely know my father, real or not, but he is now. He hears this from the 11 of us all the time, there is no I or me, but us and we, in this team now. You were given that jersey, now you have to earn it now, but as Jesse said, wearing a Duck's jersey."
"That doesn't make you a real duck, you have to earn them right now, so the next 8 months is a testing period here, as we work the growing pains under my father. But the Coach now, in truth that remark in a rephrase now, just 2 years prior, was the one that Peter threw at him. And remembering the pain of that insult, plus the fact he was dating my mother. You just ticked him off, and he went high school teacher on you, till I stepped in." he said and they swallowed hard.
"So that's what happened that night, after he got off the phone with Coach, the Coach was watching the game, seeing that reaction he was reminded of someone on the Varsity Hawks. Also losing his temper and nearly attacks someone, and he told him to run him through the P.T. session from heck?" Julie Gaffney said in shock and the 12 nodded sternly. "Through the remark, of anybody shares his opinion, you said, by Dean saying that you did, and you get boxed now."
"With him, or in this case, thrown into the P.T. session from heck, we know and knew better right now, then to say anything, having already ended up in detention here." he said and the quintet swallowed hard. "Jesse was only inquiring about his distraction, nothing more, which is considered calling the old man out right now. Because we're scared out of our minds, he's about to relapse and start drinking again." he said and they went white and Buckley nodded sternly.
"He quit drinking after meeting us, and thing of it is, the stardom, like the alcohol, affected his ability to focus, till Hans, or Jan talked some sense into him. The 9 of us quickly reworked ourselves and after I told Adam don't worry about the scouts, just focus. Till the Coach catches him in the act, and we know he keeps that up, that arm could be damaged permanently. He needs to let it heal, as I grabbed Russ and now we're 17." he said and the quintet nodded.
As the 8 looked at Gordon protectively and the quintet swallowed as Tammy hugged him and he tightened his arms around her, before Charlie's surrogate sister did. "So I think you get the point, new Coach, we're under new management, Dad has been training us. In the off season, so you agree with the trouble maker you get boxed or do laps with them. We're keeping our mouths shuts, Russ, stay quiet on me man, on me." he said and Russ nodded as Guy smiled.
"Yeah I remember, Charlie brought you into the locker room with us, and froze the dressing down, before Portman got us sentenced to a week of night practice." Guy said and he nodded as their single girl on their side of the 14 rested her hand on his arm gently and he smiled at her then. "He's the wise guy side of Jesse, but I love him like a brother here, so my version not here, I got him protecting me." she said and Buckley nodded smiling at that reveal then gently.
"Quack quack?" they heard a male duck say and they heard a tone that sounded female from the one talking to him and chuckled. "Shal, you sure you're up to tiny colored ball practice, Andy smacked you pretty hard there." Jesse read out and his sister smiled. "Yeah I'll be fine, but thanks again Darren for knocking him off course, or he could've slammed me into the bank." she said in response. "Tiny colored ball, they're playing with the marbles." Guy said laughing at that.
"Or just the balls the size of the hockey balls, but their playing with it, like a soccer ball." Gordon said with a laugh then. "Yeah if they were still ducklings the shooter ball is big enough to be a soccer ball in their eyes, but this size, they need one. Said that is two sizes up, and they still tower over it, but that's you now, the 17 are you from 13 to 15. And in a way still ducklings, to us, with us being your parents age group." The Coach said smiling and he nodded to that gently.
As they saw 3 of them talking till the second smacked the first in the chest, before their father quacked at them, and they gave a quack. And Plucky gave them a quack and they started laughing at that. "Jesse, or Russ, with me in a debate, till I get so annoyed I smack him across the chest and Uncle Ted tells us that's enough of that, before Charlie finishes that. Trust me that happens all the time between us, but yeah we're always like this." she said and he nodded then.
And with an amused smile to that demo. "To rephrase that conversation is 'how are we doing do exactly here Hammer' 'Good, but don't get cocky'. 'The hammer get bent' 'Alright you asked for it, 'Alright guys that's enough of that already'. 'Yes dad.' 'No kidding, and would you guys can it already, Jesse stop antagonizing her, and Connie easy. I get he's annoying you, but you don't have to beat him senseless here.'." he translated and the student body started laughing at that.
"Point taken." one of them said smiling. "We need to put bows on the girls, to know who's who in genders, hey Plucky is that your sister, the one that duck hugged you?" Charlie asked and he gave a quack and they nodded. "She's my version of your dark feathered friend, Charlie." he quacked and Connie Monroe chuckled, knowing he meant her. "Nice wording here, they don't have shoulders, so her head to his neck is close enough." their biology teacher said smiling.
"Which to a human, they reach full maturity by the time they're 18 years old human years here, but he looks 3.5 months so no older then you guys, he just grew his wings in and turned white." Buckley said and he nodded as he looked at his duck counterpart. "Yeah well I feel like my legs are too big for my feet, but 13, in a 18 year old body here." He said and the team nodded in agreement. "That's me entirely brother, I'm 13 in my adult body." he said with a quack to him.
"Your prediction is close Coach, one more close call or said turns into a real one, they're done, but they're the Brumly boys, never think with their heads here. Shepard was a better choice, for back up fighting companions, here during the rumble now. Though they stuck to their sides, never mattered and what if that night was a sting operation, and Matthews knew that." he said and they nodded in agreement. "Then you take the bait, you're done." he said sternly to that.
"Dead duck walking here." Russel, said with a bemused smile then and the entire faculty nodded sternly to that opinion then. "Yeah, you have no idea and if that grudge match turns into a brawl next, just make the noise so loud it gets our attention. As instead of the cops, it's us in the J.V. Coaches, as this happens when your brother is still recovering. From getting a possible set of broken ribs, we can call attempted murder charges for aggravating that injury right now."
"When we all know he wasn't supposed to be playing." The baseball coach said to that sternly. "Like I said, you just blew any mental edge you may have had against the Greasers or in this case, the Ducks, now they know they own you, this isn't the peewees. Your little attempts at mind tricks will not work on this level, now for the last time, you stay away from my son. And his team, is that clear." his father said, looking at the Varsity team and they swallowed hard.
"Well they cross me, Les' is my right hand and we took your scientific advice to the max here, as you're a chemistry teacher, dad." he said and the older man nodded sternly then. "Lovely, yes alright gentlemen, get in trouble one more time, you're facing me this time, check that attitude. At the door, before you come into my locker room, because your team mates are my players now, but no one is forcing either of you to be here, it's your lives, you choose which direction."
"You want to lead them, but there are 2 choices, here at the academy, or reform school." he said sternly and the teenager nodded in agreement. "Yeah no kidding, dad." he said and he smiled. "Dad?" Gordon asked and they smiled. "We bonded before you came back, so though you were gone, he connected to me after a close call, we been together ever since. So though his mother divorced, again and you never got together, never mattered, he didn't need another here."
"In dead beat stepdads, as he had me." he said and Gordon nodded smiling gently, knowing his captain wasn't feeling abandoned, he bonded to his best friend, he'd be okay now then. "Charlie what you want a bet that us knowing 7 months in advance he's possibly our latest now. And while the 17 of us can handle this, those idiots, if they get in trouble, again, won't. And everything we would be hearing coming out of you, is him again at the moment here now."
"Because these guys hate adult authority, we grown so accustomed to having a regular coach, we changed into this us right now?" Guy Germaine said and he nodded. "I know, and while they hate adult authority, we need that from the final one, from our parents, to the school. To our coach, if he's more to us then we think, he's three in one now in truth in truth. While Uncle Derek is the 4th right now, as for the other question, in knowing I bonded to him this soon."
"No bet, but I don't doubt we will, if dad here here is our next one, instead of meeting on the first day of school, we been spending the last 6 to 7 months. In working with him, and soon we're like we are with the Coach currently, but his being a parent, my adoptive. That everything in coach is rephrased as father now, when cub got in trouble with the principal, or just the cops. If these idiots get in trouble for whatever reason here." he said and his father covered his eyes.
"Then again, if he's mine in truth, my biological father, what I wanted for 4 years comes to pass finally, and the Coach returned me to my real father, he, the Coach, is my godfather." Charlie Conway said and the team nodded and the man smiled. "With the way you guys act together, since we were 11, we see that clearly, he is your father, real or not." Guy said and the 9 nodded in agreement as Adam's big brother Jared crossed his arms smiling then and his father chuckled.
