A Teenage Dream (Mighty Ducks FanFic)

[Chapter 10] ~ Red, White & Blue

"Here to start the third period, what team is this? It's not Team U.S.A. Yes, it is. They've got on new uniforms. They're wearing the logo of the duck. I've never seen this before."
- "Yeah! Come on!"

"I've just gotten word that there is no rule against changing uniforms. Well, Gordon Bombay's old team was called the 'Ducks' and I guess we've got the U.S.A. Ducks out there now."

"Quack! Quack! Quack! - Go... Ducks!"

"Hills gives it to Banks. Banks back to Hills. Hills slides it to River Evans. She shoots. She scores!
River Evans with a lovely move in front of the net...
pulls Team U.S.A. to within 4 goals."

"Yes!" "Yes. All right,you guys!" "Way to go!" The team all cheers, now having a tie.

"Team U.S.A. tying with Iceland. Shot and a diving save by Goldberg. Averman with it, leads the attack. Comes right up the middle. Averman lost the puck. Iceland gets it over Gunnar Stahl. He's got an open net. He scores! Ducks trail now, 5-4."

"Okay, Ducks" Charlie begins as the team looks at each other with odd looks "take a look, here." "Charlie, this isn't the NBA." Averman says questioning his idea "Yeah next things you'll have us doing is bounce passing a puck" River agreed "it's the perfect teamwork play." "Alright" River sighed "I trust you Char"

"Now, cowboy!" "Alley-oop, boys." Dwayne roared thrusting the puck in the air allowing it to land on the offensive blue line. Adam looked up following the puck as it soars above his head

"Play continues here in the final period. The hitting has picked up, but the Ducks are hanging in there.
However, they're still down by one goal with time running out. Bodies flying all over the ice. The puck is in the Ducks'zone. Here's Mendoza on a breakaway. The speedster into the Iceland zone."
"I stopped!" Luis blustered now standing right I front of the net.
- "Put it in, Luis!"
"That's what she said" River whispers into Avermans ear skating past him in a swift circle, while he chuckles softly looking back at her making quick eye contact as she skated away backwards.

"He scores! Luis Mendoza on a breakaway 2 minutes left. And the Ducks trail by one it's 6-5." The announcer reminds "We are still in this. Come on, we can do it!" Coach's encouragement brought up a bit of memories of pee-wee for Charlie.

Looking at Coach, he smiled feeling a bit of pride from his team and himself as well. He also looked at River and saw, once again, the amazing smile she had on her face.

And if she wasn't so focused on coaches speech she'd realize everybody was looking at her while her eyes sparkled at the sound of victory. He knew that this was possibly a start of a great friendship, but right then he snapped back to reality when the ref blew the whistle signaling the restart of the game.

"Russ." "Yeah, Coach." "Two minutes left. Can you get your shot off?"  "i don't know. They're gunning for me." Russ guessed. "If Fulton and Dean get on they could probably block, and I'll try defense" River suggested looking back and forth from Coach and Charlie "it would definitely make me feel better" Russ said with a shrug as coach decided.

"Alright let's try it. Make it happen." He puts a shoulder on Russ giving yet another encouraging feeling go throughout the team's atmosphere.
- "Go...Ducks!"

As River skates back onto the ice Charlie calls her back "Hey! Rory, come here real quick please!" Turing around skating back to him she gives him a look letting him know to continue.
