The Mighty Ducks

Instant Karma

I should be at the rink practicing but here I am standing in an alley waiting for Charlie to come back from the small corner shop, Karp was digging in the dumpster searching for a handbag to make our prank seem more believable. "I found one! I'm comin' out!" He shouted as his head resurfaced from the rubbish. "Karp, you finally found something for once in your life" Peter sassed as we watched Karp struggle to climb out. "Dumpster Dave comes through" Averman said as he helped Karp come down. I decided to speak up considering everyone has said something snarky "Yeah, who knows, maybe you'll be a professional dumpster diver, Karp." Peter and Averman snickered and Karp just gave me a blank stare. "What do you think?" Karp asked holding up the handbag, ""Lovely, Karp, it goes with your eyes" Averman battered his eye lashes. Peter nudged Karp saying "You gonna take that from him, Karp?" "No, remind me to bust your head in, Averman" Karp snapped. I simply rolled my eyes at them, "Thanks, Peter. Thanks very much" Averman replied sarcastically. Out of the corner of my eye I see Charlie jogging up to us, "Did you get it?" Karp asked excitedly. Charlie pulled a can out of the brown paper bag in his hand "Yeah! Right, there!" He hands the can over to Karp and moves over to me and slings an arm over my shoulder. "You okay?" He asks concerned, I nod saying "Yeah, just cold" he nods and pulls me closer. I look down at my outfit:

Pulling my jacket closer to me. "Here, Petie. Here, boy" Karp calls to the street dog. "A little chilli to keep you warm, buddy." He puts the can down as the dog sniffs around in the trash trying to find food. We all coax him over saying "Oh, yeah, that's nice." "Oh, yeah, look!" Petie comes over to us and starts eating up the insides of the can. And surprisingly the can too.

We followed Petie down the street "I can't believe he ate the can too." Peter exclaimed, Averman starts commentating Petie's every move "He sniffs. He sniffs again. Looking for that perfect place." "He sniffs some more, he stops." We all stop and stare at Petie as he starts turning. "I think this it. He's turnin' in a circle! He squats! He scores!" We all start cheering "Yes! We did it!" We all give each other high fives, I stop and face them all "Only one problem" they all look at me with confused looks. I point to petie's business, "Who's gonna put it in the handbag?" We all contemplate that, but then turn to look at Averman who has a dreaded look on his face as he stares at the poop. He looks at all of us and groans saying "Fine!" Karp hands him the handbag saluting him as he backed off. As Averman shovels it in we all groan.

We head back down the street following Averman as he groans holding his nose saying "Full load." Peter then complains saying "Stinks!" We all try to swat away the stench of it. Averman stops and put the handbag on a pile of snow on the road close to the sidewalk, "Come on, come on, give me the dollar!" I hand Charlie the note and step on the sidewalk away from the road. Peter starts to get impatient saying "Hurry it up already." To which Averman replied saying "I'm hurrying okay?" Charlie puts the note in saying "Go, go, go, go!" We all back away and stand beside a truck. "Yeah! Alright! Let's do it!" We all wait for a car to pass by, which takes a while as not a lot of cars are on the road, we were about to give up when suddenly a red car comes along the street "Oh, come on. Stop!" We all mumble under our breath. We all silently cheer as the car came to a stop "Yes!" We all crouched over and started waking over to get a closer look. "Okay! Here we go." A man gets out of the car and walks over to the handbag seeing the money inside. He picks it up and Averman says "Yeah. There's more inside" he rubs his hands together. The man looks around to see if anyone saw what he did and then he starts heading back to his car "He's takin' off with it." Karp yells. "This guy deserves what he gets" Peter added, we all nodded as we watched the guy take off. He didn't get far as his tyres screeched to a halt and he put the window down yelling and he threw the handbag out the window. We all started laughing, but stopped as he stuck his head out the window and looked us all dead in the eyes. Our breaths get caught in our throats and Peter breathes out "Oh, guys, he saw us." I was going to say something snarky but stopped as the guy got out of his car, we all started running and led him through a construction site. We ran through a small tube and I watched him struggle to get through, we crossed a plank without falling into the wet cement. I was the last one to cross the plank and I saw the guy slip and he fell on the plank hitting himself in the family jewels. "Oh, my" he groaned out. I started laughing at him "Instant Karma" I yelled at him before Charlie pulled me away and we climbed up a ladder to reach the others. We all start cheering and laughing. Before heading down to go to the ice covered lake, to practice.
