A mighty change in life (Mighty ducks x reader)

6. The dream

I had a nightmare that night. It was about a place that was full of ducks. In the distance I fled into an ally and stayed hidden. The sight of so many of them terrified me.

"Drake DuCaine was a legend man!"

I moaned out loud, recognizing the voice. Inside the alley were three of those creatures, playing hockey. One shot one puck after another at the goalie. Nearby was another duck that I noticed as Nosedive. He kept on talking about some famous duck that saved the planet by dinosaurs. In between the story telling, he took off the mask off the goalie. I gasped as I recognized Wild wing underneath it. In my hiding spot I could hear them well, listening to him bragging on about his friend. Shortly after, I found out about the other duck. His name is Canard and he is, according to Wild wing, a great leader. I couldn't tell, I don't know him in person.

Wild wing and the other two left the area, as I was to head the other direction. Suddenly, a dinosaur robot came my way. It grabbed my arms hard, as I screamed for help. But then, it began to talk, "N/A, N/A...wake up!"

"AHHH!!!!" covered in sweat I woke up in Wild wing's bed. He stood over me, holding me by the arms, "Are you okay? You were dreaming."

Still in shock, I moved his hands away and hugged him tight. It didn't take long, as he wrapped his arms around me, holding me close, "Was it such a bad dream?"

I trembled, "I thought I had to die."

"Don't worry, you are safe. No one will hurt you here."

He began to release me slowly, "I suggest you take a shower and then come over to the lobby. I wait for you there." He went over to his draws, handing me a few clothes of his, "I know our size is different, but I got nothing else for you to wear." With a towel and clothes in my hands, he pushed me towards the bathroom.

The rest of the ducks were already in the lobby, waiting for their leader to arrive.

"Wild wing is she ready yet?" asked Mallory, feeling impatient.

"Sorry guys, she needed some extra clothes, this nightmare of hers made her extremely scared."

Duke got interested, "What kind of nightmare?"

"She didn't tell."

Mallory faced her leader, "and the clothes...are they yours?"

"I didn't want to involve anyone in this" that was his way to get out of an uncomfortable situation. He was a young adult duck, but there are still some things he is not comfortable with...as a man. Thankfully, no one questioned his reason. However, one of them headed towards the bathroom, wearing a few things in his hands. Wild wing didn't see him go.

Back in the bathroom, I was lost in thoughts as the water soothed my muscles.

"What was that dream about?" I said to myself. As much as I tried to find an answer, but nothing came up. Not to let the duck wait any longer, I got out, wrapped his towel around me and went out. I screamed at the sight of his little brother, "What are you doing here?!"

He sighted annoyed, "You can't possibly play hockey in my brother's clothes. Here are some of mine, plus the extra stuff you need for the game. I looked at him in disbelief, "Hockey...me?"

"My...you are pretty quick lady."

"Why should I do such a thing?!"

He got right before me now, "You pay off your fee with playing hockey. You are off the hook when we all agree that you are a good player."

I gave him a skeptical look, "Great, in your case, I might have to play for life."

Nosedive smirked, "It wouldn't hurt you if you do."

Looking at all the things o the table, I gave him a look of feeling hopeless, "How do you put on that stuff?"

The young duck sighted, offering his help to get it on me the right way. However, I tried to do it myself first, making him laugh hysterical. Thankfully, he was a great help. In ten minutes I looked like a true hockey player. Nosedive was pleased with himself, "You know, you are not that bad looking...for a human." "Was that a compliment or an insult?" "A bit of both", he said, handing me the hockey stick. Grabbing my hand, he pulled me out of the room, towards the lobby, "I wonder how well you do on the ice."

I gulped, "Well depends on how you want me to move on the ice."

He showed me my ice skates, "On them of course."

With one swift move I got out of his grip, "Okay, I am done for!" Nosedive refused me to escape this, "Don't chicken out now. This is your only chance to pay off your dept...otherwise it will be prison for you." He seemed to be sure that I will give it a try.

I gave him an emotionless look, "...prison here I come."

"Oh no you don't!"

Before I know it was I thrown over someone's shoulder? Nosedive gave him a thumb up, "Nice one Grin!"

It didn't take long for the rest of the ducks to appear. Wild wing was already in his goalie outfit and his mask, looking at me seriously, "We don't take a 'no' for an answer. You will learn it and even if it takes you months."

I whined at the leader, "Have mercy on a beginner!"
