Niki The Jet Chambers (a mighty ducks story)

"PRINCESS" Ch. 4

I woke up groaning on my couch. My head hurt but I didn't know why. As my eyes adjusted to the light I could see Charlie, Casey, my teammates, even Bombay sitting around my living room.
"What- what happened?" I asked confused grabbing my head in pain as I sat up.
Casey and Charlie both woke up when they heard my voice.
"Oh My God Niki! I'm so glad your ok, what happened?!" Casey questioned as she brought me into a hug, the rest of the team and Bombay now waking up from the commotion.
"I got hit to hard a few times in the game." I answered simply.
"Obviously." Everyone answered.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Charlie asked
"I didn't want to worry anyone and I didn't want to come out." I answered.
"Ok well I'm calling the doctor for a concussion test." Casey said and I just groaned. I never liked concussion tests, there boring, but Casey insisted.
The doctor said I didn't have a concussion and that I just needed a lot of rest.
So I wasn't allowed to play hockey for 24 hours which was going to be hard for me.
——
24 hours had passed and my headache was gone. I was hanging with the team today. We were meeting in an alley we always hung out it.
I walked with Connie there.
When we got there all the boys were gawking at sports illustrated magazines. While me and Connie stood off to the side.
The team started chasing Peter because he said something about Guy's mom. Me and Connie following hastily behind.
We heard Karp scream,
"Hey!"
"Hi Girls!" Larson smirked.
"Does your mommy know you have that?" McGill taunted
"Nah, she's busy with the mailman." Larson answered for my team.
"That'll make great bathroom reading." Banks said smirking and winking at me. I scoffed and pretended to gag.
"That's mine you jerk, I found it" Karp defended himself.
"You don't even know what to do with it wuss-breath!" McGill shot back
"You ganna let him call you wuss-breath?" Peter asked Karp trying to start something.
Karp replies with a no that sounded more like a growl. Then he lunged at McGill who threw him into a pile of trash.
"Hey princess." Banks said while he started circling around me.
Once McGill and Larson caught sight of this they decided to join in.
Soon I was being circled by 3 of the people I hate the most.
"Don't call me princess." I replied crossing my arms over my chest.
"Awe your cute when your mad." Larson said
"She's hot the rest of the time." McGill added
"Yeah, especially when she's cornered like right now." Banks added licking his lips.
"You guys are assholes" I shot back
"Woah princess has a mouth on her." Larson said slowing down a little.
"I wonder what else it can do." He added.
The 3 hawks came to a complete stop not but there was no way for me to go back to my team or for them to get to me.
"Too bad you'll never find out" I replied smirking hearing the snickers from my team.
"We'll see about that." McGill said.
"You obviously can't see that no one likes you." I replied smirking bigger than before.
"You can't be talking." He replied
"Actually I can." I shot back
"Mhm, now let's skip the talking and go straight back to my house. How does that sound princess?" McGill asked stepping closer towards me.
I backed up only to hit the brick wall behind me.
"Sounds like you need a hearing aid because I told you to stop calling me princess." I replied
"You didn't answer my question." McGill said and took another step towards me.
"Hmm I'm looking for a way to show you my answer." I replied
"I have a few ideas." He Smirked grabbing my waist and pulling me into his chest.
"We obviously don't have the same idea" I replied and took my arm out from between us and punched him square in the jaw.
"Bye Bye" I waved and smiled innocently and walked back to Connie gave her a high five and we walked down the alley leaving everyone awe struck about what just happened.
"Hey princess! Wait up!" I heard someone call me to stop. I knew it was Banks so I just ignored him and kept walking with Connie by my side.
We walked back to my house to get my hockey gear then to her's, to get her gear.
We then walked to a secret pond we found when we were 9.
We skated around and I decided to show Connie some figure skating moves.
She was a natural and learned very quickly. After about an hour Connie was now able to skate backwards with ease and had not fallen down for the past half hour.
"Hey Nik it's getting late, I'm ganna head home." Connie told me and I just nodded, waved and said I would see her tomorrow.
I lied down in the middle of the pond looking up at the sky.
I was exhausted and decided to close my eyes.
Little did I know the entire time me and Connie were at the pond, I was being watched.
———
I woke up in a pair of strong arms, at first I thought it was Charlie but then I remembered I wasn't at home.
I slowly turned around so I was facing the person, it was none other than Adam Banks himself.
I shot up when I realized it was him.
He looked at me smirking.
"What The fuck Banks?!" I screamed
"Oh calm down, you fell asleep here. You were whimpering when I found you so I picked you up and you stopped." He informed me.
"Why didn't you just wake me up?!" I shot back
"Because your pretty hot when your sleeping." He replied smirking.
"And your an ass." I replied
"But a hot one" He said smirking even bigger.
I scoffed and looked away.
He came up behind me and snaked his arms around my waist, pulling me into him. I honestly felt butterflies and didn't want to move, but I had to.
I pushed him away from me and skated back to where my boots lied in the snow.
I started taking off my skates, putting my boots back on.
Banks came over and sat next to me, trying to make a move but to no avail.
Once I had all my stuff packed I walked through the woods with Banks trailing behind, probably looking at my butt, back to the pond where we had practices.
I saw Bombay skating alone in the pond, realizing it was now dark I walked up to him.
Banks had finally left me alone and went back to his house.
"Hey coach! Looking good! I thought you said you didn't play." I said restating what he said the first time the team met him.
"Oh hey Niki, um I used to play when I was a kid, but I blew a big game and quit." He replied looking down.
"Really? Who'd you play for?" I questioned
"The hawks" he mumbled barely audible but I heard him.
"Seriously?" I questioned again
"Yeah" he replied still looking down.
"Well I heard we still have a shot at the playoffs if we win our next game." I replied hopefully,
"Yeah, the only problem is that your the only one who can score, and defend and skate well for that matter." He replied kinda harshly
"Well I've been teaching Connie all day and she's really improved, in only an hour she was skating backwards no problem." I replied defending my team.
Bombay looked up shocked.
"Niki can you do that with the entire team?" He questioned hopefully.
I thought about it and decided we would make a deal.
"Yeah I'll do it. If and only if you get us actual rink time, new uniforms and gear, and actually coach us." I proposed.
"Deal" He said surprisingly and I shook his hand.
"So when do we start? I can't teach them how to skate without the rink so the sooner the better." I said and walked away only to be stopped by Bombay saying, we're starting tomorrow morning at 10:30.
