Author’s Note:Hi everybody! I really got
nothing to say right now…er…sorry for the long wait. I didn’t write this
chapter, I’m just typing it…but it’s okay, I have it all in my head.*knocks on
head*…okay, so that may not be so reassurring, but I think I know what
I’m doing.
Okay…I’m done with my ranting for now. I’ll
go blab to Cee in an e-mail later.
So…uh, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don’t own the Ducks…I only
own Samantha…I think…

It had been about a week since the JV/
Varsity showdown. Varsity and JV still weren’t getting along so Coach Orian and
Coach Wilson decided to do something about it. They planned for the two teams
to have practice together.
“You guys will be here until you learn to
work together!” Wilson yelled.
“But we’re not a team!” Rick complained.
“You belong to the same school, you are
going to get along. We’ll keep you here all night if you have to!” Orian
yelled.
Samantha giggled a little from her spot up
in the bleachers. She could just imagine the things some of the Ducks were
thinking.
…
About 3 hours went by and Wilson took Orian
to the side. He whispered something to Orian and they both left.
There was silence for a good 15 minutes
then a voice came over the intercom. “You’re going to have to learn how to work
together, or else, you’re not leaving. All the doors are locked, the lights
will be going out at 7, which is in 5 minutes, for the night, and all you have
is whatever is in the stadium and rink. That includes the snack bar and locker
rooms, and anything else that isn’t locked. We’ll be back in the morning to
check on you, so either way you’re spending the night. So, I hope you start
getting along soon or it’s going to be a very long night, and the sooner you
get along the sooner you get out of here. Have fun, and no killing each other.”
Coach Wilson said.
“Ohhh.” Both hockey teams gave a groan.
Click. The lights went out.
“Well isn’t this just peachy.” Averman
complained.
Sneeze.
“God bless you.” Goldberg yelled.
“Thanks!” Samantha yelled back.
“Who’s that?” Cole asked.
“My sister.” Guy shrugged.
“Why is she here?”
“ ‘Cause she always comes to our
practices.” Luis gave Cole a ‘duh’ look, but he really couldn’t see because it
was too dark.
“Come down here. I don’t want to lose
you…although you can’t go very far.” Guy said.
“Okay.” Samantha said as she started limping
down the stairs leading to the ice.Normally she would take her crutches, but
she didn’t like using them when going down stairs.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Boom. Bang. Swish.
“Ow.” Samantha groaned.
“What did you do?” Charlie asked.
“Fell down the stairs, then I hit the door
leading to the ice and it opened.”
“Well, where are you now?Are you okay?” Guy
asked.
“Here…somewhere. I don’t really know. But
I’m fine.”Samantha said lying on the ice.
“Well that narrows it down.”Rick remarked.
“Well what is she supposed to say? On a
cold surface?”Jesse glared.
Rick just grunted.
“Well guys, just skate around slowly until
you see her.” Charlie said.
“Why can’t she just stand up?” Cole asked,
dumbly.
“She sort of broke her ankle, genius.”
Scooter said, annoyed, Varsity could be so dumb sometimes.
“Watch it.” Rick warned.
Scooter just rolled his eyes.
“Whoa!” Bang. “Ow.”
“Ow, get off of me!”Samantha yelled.
“Sorry ‘bout that.” Luis said as he got up.
“It’s okay.”
“Found her! We’re by the door that leads to
the ice on the left side.” Luis called and Guy skated to Luis.
“Are you okay?” he asked as he helped her
up.
“Uh-huh.”
Guy practically carried Samantha over to
the bench. He picked her up over the wall seperating the ice and the bench and
placed her on the bench. “Stay here, alright.
We’ll be back.”
“Okay.”She whispered.
“So, what do we do now?”Luis asked.
“I’m gonna go to the locker room and
change.” Connie said.
“Yea, me too.” Charlie said and skated
toward a wall to help him find the door. The rest of the hockey players
followed, including Varsity.
4 hours later…
The Ducks and Varsity had gotten changed
and had made their way to the snack bar for food,the were all very hungry.
“So, Goldberg, you still hungry?” Adam
asked as he finished his candy bar.
“Um, maybe. Rick, pass the nachos.”
“Sure.”
It was amazing, both teams were getting
along. There was some bickering at first but then it simmered down.
“Connie…can I talk to you?” Guy whispered
into Connie’s ear.
“Sure.” Connie shrugged.
“Alone.”
“Oh, sure.”Connie said and started to walk
toward the locker room door, Guy followed. “So, what do you want to talk
about.”
“Well, er, its halfway through the year and
I miss you.” Guy mumbled. “And I was wondering if uh…maybe you would go back
out with me?” Guy looked at the floor.
“Oh, Guy, I don’t know.”
“Please Connie. It’s torture without you.
And I’ve seen how much I cared for you, especially that night when you helped
me get Samantha back. And I think the only reason why I blamed her was ‘cause I
missed you so much.”
“Guy…”
“Please say yes, Connie.”
“Guy!”
“Huh?”
“I’d love to go back out with you.” Connie
smiled.
“Really?!”
“Yes, is that so hard to believe?”
“No. So, uh, do you want to go tell the
others?”
“Under one condition.”
“What is it?! I’ll do anything.” Guy looked
nervous.
“Hold my hand?” Connie smiled.
Guy let out a sigh of relief. “Of coarse.”
He smiled and took her hand.
“I missed you, Guy.” Connie whispered.
“I missed you, too.”
“Do you think Samantha will be happy for
us?”
“Of coarse…shit.”
“What?”
“I sort of forgot her after we left the
rink to change.” Guy gave Connie an ‘uh-oh’ look.
“Aw. Lets go get her…how long has it been.”
“Like 4 hours.” Guy shrugged as they made
their way to the rink.
After about 5 minutes they made it to the
rink.
“Wow, its cold in here.” Connie points out.
If they didn’t just get back together, Guy
might answer something like ‘Well, Connie, it is a hockey rink, with you know,
ice.’ But instead he answered, “Yea, a little. Here, take my jacket.” Guy said
as he started to put his jacket around her.
“No, that’s okay. I have my own. Maybe you
should give it to Samantha.” Connie said as they started walking on the floor
next to the bleachers.
“I guess you’re right.” Guy said.
The finally got to the bench. Samantha was
curled up into a little ball.
“Hey.” Guy said making Samantha jump and
fall off the bench. “Sorry!”he said as he helped her back up and wrapped his
jacket around her. “You cold?”
Samantha just nodded. If she had the
energy, and the nerve, she would say, ‘What do you think? I’ve been in a
fuckin’ ice rink that’s like below zero.’ But she wasn’t like that, so she just
thought it and her shivering started to slow down as Guy pulled her toward him.
“Sorry I forgot about you.”
Samantha didn’t realize that he forgot her.
She went numb soon after he left her to change and she layed down and just
stared at the wall not really sure what time it was. Then Guy came. “Its okay.”
She mumbled and then noticed Connie and Guy were holding hands…should she say
something?
Guy noticed her staring at his hand that
was holding Connie’s. “We got back together.”Guy smiled at Connie.
Samantha smiled. “Congrats. Where’s
everyone else?”
“By the snack bar, eating.” Connie
informed.
“Oh.” Samantha said as she leaned into Guy
a little more for both support and warmth.
“Are you still cold?” Guy asked.
“Mm-hmm.”
“Well when we get to the snack bar we could
look for something warm, maybe they have hot chocolate or something.” Connie
smiled.
“Okay.” Samantha said softly.
…
When they got back to the rest of the group
Adam had already made hot chocolate, which wasn’t the greatest thing,
considering most of them were already on a sugar high.
Samantha had ended up not getting any hot
chocolate at all, by the time Adam had finished making hers she had fallen
asleep, leaning on Guy’s arm. So, Guy and Connie shared it instead. No one had
noticed the new closeness between Guy and Connie so they took it upon
themselves to say something.
“Um, you guys?” Connie said getting
everyone’s attention.
“Yea?” Charlie asked.
“Um, me and Connie got back together.” Guy
smiled.
“Congratulations!” Charlie said, quite
loudly, waking Samantha up.
“Huh?” She asked sleepily.
“Nothin’, go back to sleep.” Guy whispered
and gave a quick glare at Charlie but then smiled.
“We should all go to sleep.” Riley said.
“Yea, he’s right.” Charlie, the other
captain, agreed.
“So, do we just sleep here?” Adam asked.
“Sure, I guess.” Riley shrugged.
“So, are we all getting along?” Julie asked
starting to lean against Scooter.
“Yea, you guys aren’t too bad.” Cole
smiled.
“Night guys.” Goldberg mumbled.
“Night.”
