Falling for my Teammate ~ A Charlie Conway Fanfic

The Final Game (PART 2)

Britta POV

Bombay: Did you all enjoy that?

Everyone: Yeah!

Bombay: So did they, because they're still three points up and we're one period away from defeat.

Jesse: If we can't beat them, we might as well keep our pride.

Bombay: Jesse, that's not pride. Sure, when Dwayne roped that big oaf, part of me cheered. But, guys, I've been there. I know how you feel. I wanted to cream that jerk that busted my knee when I played in the minors. And I really, really wanted to go after Stansson for that cheap shot. But you know what? My knee will heal. And if I become someone I'm not...if I sink to their level...well, then, I lost more than my knee. Understand?

We all nodded, listening to Bombay intently.

Bombay: We're not goons. We're not bullies. No matter what people say or do...we have to be ourselves. You. *Pointing at Dean* Who are you?

J: Because we are ducks. And ducks fly together

Bombay: That's right Jan. And just when you think they're about to break apart.

Everyone: Ducks fly together!

Ms. McKay: And when the wind blows hard and the sky is black

Everyone: Ducks fly together!

Everyone: Ducks fly together!

Bombay: And when everyone says it can't be done. Ducks fly together.

Jan presented us with some duck jerseys that represented the original ducks and us new ducks.
