Sup ppl! :D Cillia-san here with my very first fanfic! Hope you like :3 I got the idea after going to a pet shop and seeing ducks for sale o3o

Chapter 1:

Ahiru sat down in the pebbly floor of her spacious cage. She was tired after a long day of being pet and picked up. Being a pet duck in a pet shop is not always the easiest of jobs for an animal. Ahiru looked out through the bars. Mytho, the owner of the pet shop, was sweeping the floor, over which children had spilled bird feed and shedded fur and plucked feathers had settled. As he walked by Ahiru's cage, Mytho smiled a sweet smile at the yellow duck and continued on. Ahiru and Mytho were good friends. He had found the duck near a dumpster and decided that she was lost or had no home. Mytho was a huge animal lover and was kind enough to take her home and get to know her. He named her Ahiru, which is Japanese for "duck." Ahiru was Mytho's pet as a kid, but all that was 4 years ago. After Mytho opened his own pet shop, he kept her there with the other animals, although he would never put her up for sale. He even knew Ahiru's secret…

Ahiru flapped her wing in greeting and grinned (If ducks can grin, that's what she was doing) as Mytho walked on to the door. He flipped the "OPEN" sign on the door so it read "CLOSED" and sat down on his chair by the payment counter and sighed.

"What a day…" Mytho sighed, weaving his fingers threw his white, feathery hair, "Business hasn't been doing as well lately…I hope things pick up."

Ahiru's wings and tail drooped a bit. Then she knocked on her cage door.

"Quack!" She said.

"Haha…aren't you impatient," Mytho chuckled and got up, walking over to the supplies wall. He stared at a certain collar that hung in the clothes section, brown leather, and looking older than the rest, adored with silver embroidery and in the center, a glistening red pendant. Before he went over to it, he opened the top of Ahiru's cage, from which Ahiru flew awkwardly from the floor of the cage onto the top of it, and then lightly flew down onto the wooden floor of the pet shop. When Ahiru looked up, Mytho was already coming back to her with the collar. Mytho smiled as he slipped it around her neck, and took his finger, which he had dabbed in her water bowl, and briskly whisked it across the side of her yellow little face. The duck's pendant began to glow red, and with it, she transformed. Her feathers flew off and behind her, transforming into long, red hair. Her duck body became the body of a young girl, and her bill turned into a cute upturned nose and a little human mouth. A pretty human girl with the exception of a pair of little golden wings in the back, with a bit of water still on her cheek, had taken the place of a little duck who was standing there, but a few seconds before. Without clothes, the girl was completely naked except for the leather choker she was still wearing, but her extremely long and wavy hair covered her. Mytho fetched some clothes and handed them to his duck. She took them with a smile.

"Haha! Thanks, master!" Ahiru winked and grinned from ear to ear.

Ok, so yes, this was Ahiru's little secret. She was a duck that could turn into a girl with the help of a bit of water and by putting on her collar with the magic red pendant. Ahiru was Mytho's pride and joy, a magical duck-girl that loved him like an owner and was adorably sweet and goodhearted. She even offered to do chores for him around the pet shop, although she was a bit clumsy (she was a duck after all, what do you expect?) but loved to lend a hand (or wing, whatever) and help Mytho smile.

Thanks so much for reading :D! This was just a one-chapter kind of thing, but more Princess Tutu stories are coming soon! :3 have a nice day!
