Last of Luck
Chapter 1
(Warning Slash CanardxWildwing)
Nosedive playfully tapped the puck back and forth, now more invested with his own chatter and stories then the actual game of hockey they were involved in. "Drake DuCaine coolest dude right?" he went on, Canard still more concerned with playing the game as he watched the younger ducks movements, waiting for the perfect opening to step in and strike. "You really think that one duck took down a whole empire?" Canard bantered back, before anyone could answer Canard made his move swiping the puck from right under Nosedives nose.
"Hay!" Nosedive absently shouted, stumbling over his skates briefly before catching his balence once again. Canard was already giving two fast swoops of his stick at the goal, strait for wildwings post. Canards strength made it hard and a little bit dangerous to block his projectiles, it always made the goalie a little nervous everytime his best friend took a whack at him. Wildwing didn't hold back though he made his counter move and luckily was able to deflect it.
"Nice one Wildwing." Canard complimented with a bit of a competitive tone inflicted in it. "I was about to say the same to you buddy." He chucked the puck back at his baby brother for another try, who was unfortunately still in a less then competitive mood. "Of course not entirely alone, Drake DuCaine was just a big part of the saving of the entire galaxy from the Saurians Empire."
"Is that right." The gold feathured duck continued to humor his smaller friend as he plotted once again to take his shot at Wildwing. "It was like game over man, and… Canard!" he yelled as the larger duck went for the steal once again, this time taking his time with the shot picking up speed as he charged at the goal.
Wildwing braced himself as he knew the other one was coming in fast, probably with his best shot. The golden ducks skates suddenly turned against his momentum, bringing him to a screeching halt but not before taking his shot full force at his target. Wildwings adrenalin was in play, getting ready for one last second reflex just enough to make the block. Its strength was enough to knock the duck back and give him a nasty sting and probably a bruise later to come. It ricochet off into the distance hitting a few cars and buildings in its wake.
"Dang, I was sure I'd get you that time." He chuckled still gliding forward slightly, barely noticing the shadow growing behind him. He felt his skates slip backwards and a small body on top of him as he hit the ice. "Just like that bang! Universe is saved by non-other than the Drake DuCaine!" Nosedive finished, unable to see the cross expression of the face underneath him. "Sore loser." Canard teased. "Hay I'm not the only loser here today, or don't you remember Wildwing got the block on you!" he pestered back. Canard could hear a deep laughter hovering over him, "You need a hand baby brother?" Nosedive Looked up at his sibling in disinterest, "Nah, Canards got me covered, right Thunderbeck?" he smirked. Canard scoffed preparing to push himself back up, as he felt the smaller bird grab on tight as too not fall off his free joy ride.
"Bro I remember when you were cool enough to give me one of these." He criticized, as he was lifted to eye level of his siblings view. Wildwing couldn't help but laugh some more, "Not gonna happen little bro, it's not my fault Canard spoils you."
"Oh geez..." Canard wheezed, "I don't blame him, you've been putting on pounds Nosedive." The younger one instantly made an offended grown "Not fair, I work hard for this girlish figure!"
"I wish you'd work a little harder on your game, at least Canard was trying." The white duck commented as they each began there dissent though the arenas doors and into the academy's halls. "Oh come on man it's just us three, it's all for fun." Nosedive defended.
"Canard was all over you today." Wildwing continued, "And I still couldn't get a single puck past you, you gotta come back to the team this year Wildwing we could use you." The goalie only sighed still not sold on the idea of coming back to the team, "Lucky day I guess."
"Maybe." the other shrugged back knowing full well luck had nothing to do with Wildwings great skill. Nose dive still lazily piggy backing over Canard was eager to start a new topic of interest. "Hay you guys looking forward to the school homecoming dance this year yet or what?!" he shouted excitedly, "eh… what about you Canard?" he smirked teasingly pestering the other bird, though the other wasn't very appreciative of this.
"Don't tell me you have a date already Nose dive?" wondered the goalie. The younger one hesitated for a moment, sinking into a bit of a downer tone, "ah… that would be a great big nope at the moment, but that's ok I still love to dance!" Wildwing dropped his sight a little lower to his best friends quit attitude. "What about you Canard I'm sure you have plenty of ladies to choose from."
"Yeah… right." He scoffed a bit sarcastically, "I mean it you rock the ice on the hockey team and your top of the class, you're a real remodel espesuly compared to Drake DuCaine."
Nose dive was of course quick to chime in on the mention of his favorite childhood hero, "Well I think that comparison is apples to oranges, one is good at hockey saved the galaxy the other is good at hockey and saved my math grade by tutoring me last semester. Actually I'd say you're about even."
"What about you big bro, anyone special your thinking about?" Wildwing couldn't help from falling into a bit of a blush at the question. "Well actually…" his eyes rolled away as he felt a little embarrassed. "There is this one duck, her name is Loora Norcross, I'd love to go to the dance with her." He sighed dazedly staring off as if entering some kind of day dream as the thought danced though his mind.
"Loora Norcross… I've seen her around, nice girl." Canard commented, giving his friend a kind gentle smile. Nosedive on the other hand broke up the moment with a harsh buzzer sound, giving way to his own opinion. "Loora Norcross, more like Loora 'Bor'-cross! You could totally do better than that big bro." he criticized. The other didn't seem so convinced "Yeah right, I doubt she'd even go with me anyway." Canard pulled open the locker room door seeing that his best pal walked though first.
It was empty at this time as the three where probably the only ones around at this hour. Wildwing finally noticing the time, "Oh no, its already past three," he stammered in realization, quickly ripping off most of his equipment as fast he could.
The other larger duck was finally releasing his passenger back to their own two feet, to let him do the same. "I promised I'd help my group with our study project, Canard can you take care of my stuff for me today?" asking in quick desperation, "of course buddy." He answered opening the door to his own locker. "and Nosedive I'll be home late so take care of yourself ok." he managed to fret before bursting back out of the locker room, the younger brother rolled his eyes "dah." He retorted.
As now the two ducks where the only ones left behind, "can you believe he has the hot's for Loora Norcross, Bleh!" the younger one continued his bashing. Canard could only giggle softly "You don't even know her Nosedive." Canard reasoned, though a little bitter about defending her. "But that Loora 'Bor'-cross thing was… pretty funny." He had to admit.
Giving the smaller one a face of glee at the compliment, now plopping down at one of the nearby benches. "I know right, just came to me." He bragged. "But seriously Canard you should be the one to take him to the dance. Just ask, I know he'll say yes he's my bro."
Canards golden feathers shivered a little from the thought of exposing his feelings to even his best friend, "Nosedive I told you it'll happen when I'm ready, when he's ready." Nosedive sighed heavily at the usual response to his encouragements, crossing his arms in protest. "Yeah well I've been hearing that same line for three in a half years now, I wanna see some action!"
"You act like you're the one who's suffering here." Canard countered, packing his friends armor into his bag. "Come on I'll walk you home today."
