After winning the JV versus Varsity game, the Duck's went on to have a winning season.

And after school was over, the group spent summer together happily. They even reunited with a couple long lost Duck's, Jesse and Terry Hall, whom Ripley got along with surprising well (even if she was dating the Cake-Eater).

After summer was over, the gang went back to Eden Hall, happily taking over the Varsity team.

Ripley and Scooter remained friends, and even partook in a few double dates with Adam and Julie. Adam soon came to enjoy Scooter's presence as well.

Everything remained the same for the next few high school years. The group would skate together, eat lunch together, go to class together, and hang out everyday of the summer's they had off.

Ripley was happy, she was at peace. Adam and her relationship grew stronger throughout the years, never failing to put a smile on her face.

Scooter and Julie ended up breaking up during Scooter's freshman year of college. The distance took a toll on them after awhile, but they remained close friends.

Charlie and Linda were on and off throughout school, but renewed their relationship their senior year, and remained steady.

After finishing their senior year of high school the group was nervous for what was to come, as the looming threat of college neared closer. They had not been apart in years, and each and every one of them could sense a change was brewing.

They spent one last summer together, having sleepovers at each others homes when they could and going on a big Duck vacation to Miami, Florida, where Louis showed them his hometown and home rink.

But as summer came to an end, they began to go their separate ways.
