Milly Anderson The Mighty Ducks [Book 1]

Cheating

"Now you guys are not good, I can tell you that for free and no training is gonna help you win so we are going to try some tactics to help us" Bombay walked back and forth talking to the team in the changerooms "you mean cheat?" Jesse asks "Well if that's what it takes to win then yes". 

"Ok first up we are going to practice falls, I want you to skate up the fall on the ice like someone ran into you, Karp your up first on three" Bombay spoke to us. Karp skated then jumped and fell onto the ice, we all started laughing "what are you laughing at cream cheese boy, let's go" Bombay said to Goldberg. We all took turns doing this, then Bombay got us to pair up "Hey Connie would y-" Guy came up to her "Never mind you to have fun" I smirked and turned around "I'm free" Terry says "Ok" I say "Now we are going to pretend we have the puck and when the other persons stick goes near your foot I want you to fall like they hooked your foot" Bombay explains and we all start "I can't believe he's making us cheat" Terry mumbles "I know right he's not a good enough coach to actually coach us" I reply and we both laugh. I pretend to hook Terry's foot and he dramatically falls to the ground "oh no my leg!" he rolls on the ground holding his knee "Oh no! someone call an ambulance" I laugh helping terry back up "If we're gonna cheat we gotta make those falls look real" I hear Bombay say, I roll my eyes "This is so dumb" 

"Now lets practice a saying I say it and you repeat" Bombay says "Take the fall" "Take the fall" we repeat "Act hurt" "Act hurt" "Get indignant" "Get indignant" "All together now" "Take the fall act hurt get indignant" "Good good now say it again" Bombay get us to repeat it a few times, I can see Charlie only mumbling and death staring Bombay as I am because this is all so stupid "You guys are ready, Now go get changed and I'll see you at the game this weekend" Bombay smiles as if he had accomplished something and walks off.

Goldberg takes a dive as one of the players of the other team skates at him leaving the goals open and the jets score yet another goal as the buzzer rings at the end of the second quarter. We skate over to Goldberg where the ref is telling him off for taking the dive "Give me a break ref! Open your eyes! Did you see what he did there to me?" The ref ignores him so we skate defeatedly over to the bench "Goldberg" Bombay stops Goldberg "what?" he replies "You don't take the fall while they're shooting at you" He says it like its the most obvious thing "oh, well I guess you didn't explain that very well then did you" Goldberg goes on a rant while the ref comes over "District 5, cut the acting class, one more dive I forfeit to the jets" "What! I'm insulted by that!" Bombay calls out "You should be" I mumble. 

After the break I'm back on and the jets are still beating us. One of the jets have the puck, they pass it but Charlie intercepts it, then two of the players check him into the boards they struggle until the ref calls a face off "Charlie!" Bombay yells, Charlie skates over as I watch them talk, Charlie comes back looking annoyed "What did he say?" I ask "He wants me to cheat" Charlie and I get into position for the face off, Straight away the jets get the puck passing it between each other, Connie takes a fall but the refs ignore her. The puck gets down behind the goals, and Charlie is about to get it when he gets checked again, one of the player's sticks is up in Charlies helmet "That's it Charlie!" I hear Bombay yell "Don't listen to him Charlie get it out of there" I yell at him, Charlie kicks the puck out and I get it and pass it to guy, only for me to be checked "Come on ref! that one was real!" 

"We can't even win when we cheat!" Terry complains "Stupid cake eater tricks" Jesse says "This is so dumb!" I plop down on a seat "Charlie!" Bombay yells "What the hell is the matter with you? When I tell you to do something you do it! You got it?" Charlie keeps his head down "Look at me!" Charlie looks up "You got it?" "You cant make me cheat" Charlie throws his stuff down and walks out. Jesse and Terry's dad walks in "Jesse Terry, lets go" They get up and walk out "This is what I gave up my overtime pay for? To see my kids taking falls?" Their dad walks out. I take off my stuff, throw it at Bombay's feet and walk out. 

The phone rings, I slide down the stair railing and pick up the phone "Hello" I say "Hey Milly, Its Charlie" Charlie says "It usually is, what's up?" I ask "Well coach stopped by" I sigh "what did he do now?" "Well actually he apologised, he said what he did was wrong, and I forgave him" Charlie explains "Really?" I ask "Mhm" he replies "Well I guess that's pretty good but I'm not gonna fully forgive him, just in case he does something stupid like that again" I say "Yeah hopefully he doesn't though, anyways that's all I wanted to say, goodnight Milly" Charlie says "Good night Charlie" I hang up the phone and walk back up the stairs, I wish there was a way to go up the stairs as fast as it is to slide down the railing, like sliding up the railing but because of stupid gravity or whatever that's not possible so instead I have to walk up each step. I climb in bed hoping that Bombay does change and that we won't be stuck with a coach we all hate for the rest of the season.
