Twenty-Four

After the Ducks had met the new kids, they had a scrimmage against one another. However, the teams were not fair. The Ducks had more players than the Newbies did, so Leia offered herself to the other team. Goldberg whined, saying what good Adam was without her. She shrugged with a smirk, skating to the far side. "I'd take him on, but I'm too good." She replied with a smirk.

"Oh!" Half of the players called. Adam shook his head, skating around the Ducks' side of the rink.

"Nah, I got this." He hyped himself up.

"Do you know?" She asked. "Last I recall, you lost against me in a shoot out."

"Ugh, that was last week." Goldberg butted in with a 'duh' tone, causing most to laugh. Leia rolled her eyes playfully, laughing at him.

Bombay had blown his whistle "All right Ducks! Show 'em what you got!" He called, standing inside one of the players' benches. Dwayne and Jesse approached center. Portman and Leia got into their defensive positions with Dwayne, Ken, and Luis as their forwards. "Great day for hockey, ain't it?" Dwayne asked, lowering as he brought his stick to the ice.

"Sure is, Cowboy." Jesse nodded, getting into the 'cowboy' mood.

"Yee-haw!" He called when they went for the puck. Dwayne had flipped Jesse over with his hand as his other arm held his stick, bringing the puck down the ice and Jesse fell onto his back. His teammates were down a member and Dwayne headed for the cheer in joy, cheering and hollering. Quickly, Dwayne was a little too cocky and got knocked to the ice by Guy, luckily, Luis came in quickly on his tail, taking the puck and headed for the night.

Leia laughed after hitting Averman into the boards and watched how fast Luis came towards the net, where Goldberg's eyes had widened bigger than ever, bigger than when he sees a cheeseburger. "Hey man, where ya going? Slow down!"

"Goldberg! Look out!" Bombay yelled, cupping his mouth. Luis, unable to stop, skated into the next, taking Goldberg down with him and the net had fallen out of place. "This guy's gotta learn how to stop."

Luis got to his knees, patting Goldberg's shoulder and pulled his helmet off. "Thanks for breaking my fall." He nods.

"Yeah, yeah, no problem." Goldberg nodded, shaking his head from what had happened.

Leia turned when Averman groaned on the ice, a hand holding his chest. "God, Leia, I think you broke my heart."

"That's nice, I think you broke my nail?" She replied, skating off and left him on the ice. She passed by Banks and bumped his shoulder purposefully. "Look which team's winning now, Baby!" She hollered with joy, not really calling Adam 'baby' in a lovey way, but in general she used the word 'baby' an added expression to her emotions. "Not yours!" She pointed and laughed, skating backwards to her side of the rink where Dwayne positioned himself again.

"Averman!" Bombay called.

"I'm going." He said, getting off the ice. "Leia broke my heart."

He scoffed. "She'll break more than your heart if stay there all day. Now get up. This is hockey, not a time to whine."

For the Ducks, Adam came down the ice with the puck, but Portman lowered to a knee, sliding in front of Adam and he flipped over onto the ice, losing the puck. Portman laughed, passing it out to Leia. She skated alongside the boards and Fulton came, squishing her against the boards where she fell onto her stomach, losing the puck as well. She sighed and slammed her fist onto the ice, of course it was gloved and covered. Next, Jesse approached the net and shot, but Julie saved it with her glove. "Nice try, Guys."

In front of Bombay, Charlie, Averman, Fulton, Dwayne, and Portman fought for the puck. "Come on, get it out of there!" He shouted.

From behind, Leia's speed was quick and she turned her upper body, jumping and hitting Charlie against the boards, who groaned after hitting the ice. "Love you, Char."

"Uh huh." He groaned, but got up and Averman gasped for air, being squished more than once and not just by Leia, but by Portman. Averman undid the bottom chin buckle of his helmet, the strap fell and he lifted the helmet above his head, needing a drink of water.

"Haven't you guys been training in the off-season?" He asked.

"You know-" He chugged down some water. "I knew we were forgetting something." He dropped the bottle into his coach's hands, then pulled his helmet down and took off.

With the puck again, Adam skated by Luis, then by Dwayne. Puck handling and passing it between himself, confusing Julie. He went left, but faked it and pulled back, shooting right. Julie fell, trying to save it, but failed and the puck entered. Leia came down, wanting to stop her boyfriend, but shook her head when he shot. She passed by him and he rounded the net, cheering with the Ducks.

Leia joined the Newbies, standing around with them. As she came with the puck now, Fulton was hit into the boards behind the net by Portman, who laughed and skated off. Having more fun throwing people to the boards and ice than he did playing the actual game. With Luis up by her side, they were quite fast, but she was able to stop. "Stop her, Ducks!" Bombay called.

"We're trying!" Charlie yelled passing by the boards.

Coming up to the net where Goldberg was, he groaned because she did not have soft hands. She was a rough player with amazing skills. She approached the net and faked a right, shooting top left corner. "Yes!" She shouted, rounding the net and brought her hands into the air. "How about that, Banks!"

"Woo wee!" Portman yelled. "Let's go!"

The Ducks needed a little more practice than they thought they did.
