I don't own the Mighty Ducks

The ducks used Dragaunus's gateway generator to send him and his goons back to their prison in dimensional limbo, where they would be guarded by the Brawns. Dragaunus of course promised retribution for the insult that they had paid him but the ducks just shrugged and smirked. This time Dragaunus wasn't going to be able to get out, he would spend the rest of his days in a cell not a ship that he could build a dimensional gateway again like he did last time. The Brawns weren't taking any chances. Once they were taken away kicking and screaming by the Brawns, the deafening silence held the room as the gateway closed after them. It was really over.

Next was for them to make the decision on when to head back to Puckworld. They decided that when their season was over that they would leave Earth and return to their home world for good. Phil was devastated of course but that didn't stop him from trying to talk them out of going. However their decision was made. At least he had them for a couple more months before he had to say goodbye to the best team he'd ever had.

Trying to occupy her mind, Mallory skated around on the ice in the pond. Everyone was down stairs doing whatever it is they do now a days. It had taken time but Mallory's episode became few and far in between until the point where they stopped completely. She was pretty much back to normal, well as normal as one can be from such an experience.

She pulled out the two dogtags around her neck and thumbed one in particular... Ashley's.

Mallory still dreamed about her but they have changed to dreams about her being here with the team. Some are dream were of them just sitting in a field and talking. These dreams always felt particularly real to Mallory, she didn't know why but something was telling her that they weren't just dreams but Ashley speaking to her from the other side. It was comforting to see her so happy.

She feared that when they left this dimension that the dreams would stop but Ashley assured her that they wouldn't, so she would trust in that. She told Wildwing of her dreams, he didn't say much about it but it seemed like every time she mentioned it he would clam up. Perhaps he had similar ones about Canard and he didn't want to acknowledge it. By doing that he would be truly be acknowledging that Canard was dead.

Oh well. It was none of her business, if he wanted to talk about it then he would. She wouldn't push him. Even though he did push her on this type of stuff, something she liked to point out to him. He would make some excuse saying that he was her leader and her future husband, so it was his right to know, that way he knew how to take care of her. He was sweet. A couple of months after Dragaunus had been sent back to limbo Wildwing had proposed to her and of course she said yes. She loved him but they were going to wait to have the wedding back on Puckworld.

Puckworld... the day to go back couldn't come sooner and yet Mallory dreaded the arrival of that day. She wanted to go back, she missed it like crazy but she would miss it here too in a way and she would miss Buzz. He had been so happy to see her after being gone for so long and then being in recovery. Now he tried to get every free moment he could with her. She didn't mind, he was a sweet kid. Another thing that Mallory dreaded was talking to Ashley's family. On that day she would be giving them her dogtags back. It was selfish but in a way she wanted to keep them for herself but she knew Ashley would want her family to have her tags, she had even mentioned it in her dreams. Matter of fact she had something the she wanted Mallory to say specifically when she got there and she was nervous about it. Ashley's family had, according to Ashley, been endlessly searching for her. So she was going to be confirming their worst fear, their daughter was dead. The thought made her sick to her stomach.

As she skated around aimlessly she didn't hear the other pair of skates on the ice. Arms gently wrapped around her shoulders and pulled her back into a strong chest. Mallory leaned her head back into his embrace. "Hey." He whispered and kissed the side of her head.

"Hey." She turned and looked up at Wildwing's face, enjoying be able to see it more often now that he didn't need the mask as much. Leaning up she kissed him on the beak for a minute and studied his eyes. "I like being able to see your face more." She touched his cheek and ran her fingers through his feathers there.

"Yeah it's kinda nice. I got so used to wearing it all of the time that my head feels lighter without the metal mask on all of the time. Kind through me off balance for a while." He smirked. She laughed and nestled herself deeper into his chest, while he tightened she arms around her and laid his head on top of hers. It was times like this, when she was in his arms that she felt completely at peace. He had admitted that he felt the same when he held her.

"Ready to go down. The others are ready to start the movie. I've got a spot saved for us." He kissed her neck and shoulder. Everyone had contributed a movie for their movie marathon day and all the preparations were being handled downstairs. Since she had finished her part early she went to skate around the ice for a few moments to clear her mind.

"Yeah I'm ready." They both skated off the ice together. In two months they would be heading back to Puckworld to start their life together. Mallory had told everyone about what Ashley had told her. That they were heroes there and had statues erected around the cities. Everyone had laughed at that. Boy would they be surprised when their dead heroes came back with Dragaunus's ship in tow. But more then anything she was ready to move on with her life and start and new one with Wildwing. "I'm so ready." She smiled up at him and kissed him on the cheek again. He smiled charmingly at her and hugged her tighter to him. Together they could over come anything and all of Puckworld was going to see that.

The End.
