Hey everybody, so a brand new fic for you all to read, this is a request for Mighty-Duck18 who has waited patiently for this to be uploaded. It'll be a four chapter fic.

The scenes are not real because they were never seen in the films but we can always pretend they did because the films don't sure you everything :)

Disclaimer: I don't own the Mighty Ducks trilogy nor the characters this is just for entertainment.

"That's two suitcases, two bags for hand luggage both our passports and everything we'll need on the flight for tomorrow morning," Adam said sitting down next to his new wife; Connie.

Adam and Connie had finally tied the knot after many years of dating; it had taken a lot of courage for him to finally ask her. The wedding was beautiful, everything she could ever imagine but there was one thing on Connie's mind; the wedding gift that Charlie had given them. It was laid on the table just staring at her and she had yet gained enough courage to open it. She knew what lay inside the wrapping it was something that held so many memories.

"Connie, are you alright?" he asked looking at her with worried eyes.

"I'm fine Adam it's just Charlie's gift."

"If you don't like it we can hide it and only bring it out when he is around. Anyway you haven't even opened it yet why is it worrying you."

"I know what is inside. It's a photo album Adam."

"What is so bad about a photo album?" he didn't understand why she was worrying about it so much.

She sighed, "you see in this album is moments we have shared over the years as a team I'm worried that I'll look at it and not be happy that everything has ended. I no longer play hockey but I worry that if I open this then I'll regret my decision to stop. I'm being silly aren't I?"

"Of course not, there is nothing wrong with being worried about decisions you've made but you shouldn't worry about things that have ended. You ended that part of your life to start another one." His soothing words calmed her and with this new calmness she stretched and tore away the wrapping. In her hands now lay a beautiful blue book with an image of the ducks when they won the Gold in the Junior Goodwill Games.

"It was a good day that," she said running her finger over the image. She smiled as she saw her and Adam stood next to one another. "It's where it all started,"

"Nope," he said as he turned the page. "This is where it all started.

The image Adam had pointed at was where he first joined the Ducks as a team, it was after the first game and everybody was still wary of him but Jesse and Terry still held a grudge to the new comer.

"So Banksie, how does it feel being in green instead of black?" Karp asked glaring at Adam; he didn't really like him but he could see he was going to be a key player.

"It was alright," he replied gulping. He caught eye with Fulton Reed who was stood glaring at him. He wasn't a coward but he had seen the way Fulton hit a puck and he didn't want him to be hitting him in the face. As he stood he glanced around the group. He had no way of leaving the room as they stood guarding the door.

"Well remember this Cake eater when we're versing the Hawks you best remember whose team you are on," Adam already knew he'd find it hard to become friends with Jesse. So far the only person to give him any words of kindness was the Charlie and this was 'on behalf of the ducks…' it didn't get any further as Jesse butted in.

He chose not to respond to Jesse's comment but looked around the group once more. As he glanced around he was sure one of them was missing. There were two girls and he could only see one. "What's her name again," he said to himself blanking out what the others were saying to them. He knew they wouldn't be pleasant so he decided not to respond. "Tammy. No wait that's the blonde one. Catherine no, Chloe no wrong again oh god what was It." as he battled with his thoughts Charlie spoke up.

"I've got to go Mum's is waiting for me outside. Connie do you want a lift home?" Adams eyes widened as he heard her name. "Knew it started with a C." he mumbled under his breath.

"No thanks Charlie my mum's picking me up." The guys looked at her strangely but said nothing. Charlie said bye and walked out of the door as soon as he left the other ducks followed until it was only Adam and Connie left alone in the room.

"Don't let them get to you," she told him smiling, "I know how it feels when Charlie first brought me into the team the guys didn't like it because I was a girl and I was different. The only reason they don't like you is because you're rich and because you used to treat them like dirt when they couldn't play so well." She explained to him.

"I forgot about that," he said quietly.

"Let's start a fresh, Constance Marie Moreau from Minneapolis Minnesota," she placed her hand out in front of her.

"Adam Jerome Banks from Edina Minnesota," he said taking a hold of her hand and shaking it.

"Pleasure to meet you," her friendly behaviour eased his nerves. "You know you're a really good skater, we're lucky to have you on the team and the guys will see that soon,"

"Thank you, if you don't mind me asking why did the other look at you funny when you said your mum was picking you up," Connie sighed and knew she should explain the real reason to him.

"We live in the poorer side of town in Minneapolis and money is hard. She works two jobs to keep a house over our head and food on the table. I don't see her a lot because she works through the day and then often goes out to work through the night. I don't think the guys believe that she's picking me up, and she isn't picking me up. She has to work tonight," Connie didn't say exactly what her mum did for a job at night but she knew Adam would work it out eventually. When she saw the realisation dawn on to his face she knew he had figured it out.

"Oh right, erm how are you getting home then?"

"I'll walk it, it's only two miles I've done it before. How are you getting home?"

"My dad is picking me up outside. You can't walk home it's dark out, it's not safe can't you ring your dad to pick you up?"

"I don't see my dad anymore he cheated on my mum when I was a new born and he never got in touch with me. I don't know where he is, that's why my mum struggles with money when she lived with my dad he had a decent income so we would have been fine but he just left us, left me." Her voice saddened as she got closer to finishing.

"I'm sorry, I can ask my dad if he can drop you off home," Adam suggested.

"Don't be daft, you live in Edina it's in the opposite direction to my house, and like it said it's no worry I'll be fine."

"Yeah but I can't just leave you to walk it on your own, you could get hurt," he pushed.

"You know, you're really nice guy but don't worry about me. I'm quick." She smiled winking at him.

"That doesn't fill me with much hope," he mumbled.

"Never mind, we best get going anyway your dad will be waiting." He nodded his head. The duo walked out of the building and Adam pointed to his car.

"Wow that must have really expensive it's gorgeous." She awed as she looked at it, and then Adam felt guilty. He had all this money and yet her mum was working two jobs to put food on the table. Just then the heaven opened and it started to rain.

"Great, somebody up there must really dislike me," she complained.

"Yep but I do like you, you're the only one that has been nice to me, and I'm now repaying the favour c'mon we're giving you a lift home." He took hold of her wrist and pulled her towards the car.

"Adam stop its fine I don't mind walking…" she didn't finish her sentence as Adam opened the door.

"Dad can we take Connie home please, she had no one to take her and I'm fed up of her saying she is going to walk home." He could feel her glaring behind him but he didn't care. His dad said nothing but nodded his head. And Adam opened the back door and waited for Connie to climb in. Sighing she did this and Adam followed her.

His dad asked her for her address and she mumbled it shyly sitting back in the car. As she looked out of the window she knew she would never have the luxury of owning one of these.

"What time is practise again tomorrow," he said trying to break the silence.

"It's at half 9 till half 12. Then we have a game next week."

"How are you getting there?"

"Oh Casey, Charlie's mum is giving me a lift, we live quite close. " She smiled at him and in the front Adam's father frowned.

They turned down the road to where Connie lived and she blushed from shame. She saw Adam looking out of the window surprised, "erm this is my stop, thank you for the lift home Mr Banks. Thanks Adam I'll see you tomorrow." She climbed out of the car and waved to Adam before running up to the stairs to her house. She saw the car drive off in the distance.

In the car Adam sat surprised with what he had seen, he knew that she would live in a bad area of town but he never expected this.

"It's a good job we gave her a lift, who knows what could have happened to her on her way home." He heard his father say.

"I never knew she lived here you would never of guessed with how she is on the ice and how she talks to the hawks."

"Sometimes you need to look deeper into a person to get to know them." His father said and he thought about this the entire journey home.

"Were you really surprised when you saw where I lived?"

"Of course I was I mean when you described your home life I expected the bad but never did I expect you to live in a street like that. It was that day I realised why the Ducks first hated me so much because of my money." He sighed.

"Hey don't put yourself down, it was jealousy not hatred. You weren't asked to be born in to a family high in society it just happened."

"I guess you're right hunny. But you were right when you said I should just give them time to come around."

"It only takes one, when they saw I was being nice to you then they saw you weren't such a bad guy and came around to the idea. Jesse had always been stubborn he just took a little longer than the rest," the two laughed.

"You're not kidding I had to be knocked out before he got the message I was a Duck not a Hawk."

"Yeah but you're still a Cake eater."

"Well you are now Mrs Cake eater," he winked.

"That's not a bad thing."

"What I really want to know is, you knew your mum wasn't picking you up but why did you lie to them and say she was?"

"I was stood behind Fulton so you couldn't see me but I knew you were looking at us all, I didn't like how the guys were talking to you. So I decided there and then that I would stay and see if you were alright. I never planned on staying that long but I'm glad I did because now look at us."

"Yeah, thank you for staying behind all those years ago. I'll admit it I just felt like crying it wasn't my fault that I had to be transferred I had never asked to be a Duck. Until you spoke to me I had the thought in my head that I should have just quit Hockey all together, my new team mates hated me, my old team mates hated me and none of it was my fault."

"I know hunny but I'm so glad you didn't quit, we probably wouldn't be as good if we didn't have you, and you were our lead scorer throughout the years. We needed you. We needed you then and we still need you now." Adam smiled at her and leaned to give her a loving kiss. Pulling back she rested her head on his shoulder and smiled.

"Want to turn the page?" she nodded her head and her hand stretched out to the next page.

So I've left it there, please review and let me know what you think to it so far :)
