First off, I'll like to assure people that me starting this story does not mean that I am abandoning the Three Duckateers, no, I just like to start on different stories at the same time. Hey, it helps! Anyways I'll try to update more, but I have to make time for school and clubs as well.

Author's note (VERY IMPORTANT! MUST READ FIRST!!!)

In this story, I added an OC, yes, an OC, something which I'm sure most of you do not like, especially if they are Mary-Sues "shudders." But don't worry; this OC is just a very minor character who is only there to make the story flow better. His name is Lance and he's Phil's cousin who happens to be working at the Pond as an intern. He's a multitasker extraordinaire and has lots of good, if not sometimes kooky, advice. Now on with the show!

Talent Night In Anaheim

Ch.1: Nosedive Has A Band?

"Hey guys! Check this out!" Lance Pomfeather entered the room, with Tanya at his heels, waving a poster in the air.

"What's that?" Wildwing, the captain asked curiously.

"This," he said, "is a poster for the upcoming Anaheim talent show, called Talent-Palooza."

"What a catchy name," remarked Mallory sarcastically.

"The name, a bit dorky, but Talent-Palooza is a celebration of talent in Anaheim that is very famous here. In fact, I'm in it. I'm singing with a friend of mine. Tanya has graciously volunteered to be our pianist." (A/N this technically isn't made up, in the Mighty Ducks comic, I Love You, You Hate Me, Tanya does play the piano. you can read the comic at Just go to the comic section.)

"Well, that was nothing," Tanya said.

Nosedive quickly took the poster out of Lance's hands and looked at it, "Whoa, there's a fifty thousand dollar prize! Awesome! I am so entering my band in it!"

"You have a band?' asked Mallory skeptically.

"Sure, I mean, it's just Thrash, Mookie and I, and we only started a few days ago, but I think I have what it takes to be the lead guitar."

"Nosedive, the show is in, uh, two weeks, how are you going to, you know, be ready by then?"

"Piece of cake, I already bought my guitar and started practicing. Didn't you hear?"

"Oh so that's what that was, I thought there was an animal dying in the Pond," remarked Mallory.

"Oh yeah, I like to see you-" but Nosedive's sentence was cut off by Phil, who entered the room and looked at the poster.

"Bobbies, I just got a great idea for publicity, why don't each of you enter the show, I mean Tanya and Nosedive are going to be in it, and if one of you wins the money…" he trailed off, stuck in his little dream world now.

Wing shook him back down to Earth, "Okay, we'll join, but only if you promise that if we win, you'll donate the prize to charity."

"But…"

"No buts," Wing stated firmly.

"Oh, alright, but everyone of you has to be in the show one way or another!" He walked out of the room.

"So, is everyone ready to show their stuff?"

"I don't know Wing," Mallory started.

"Oh, you just don't want to do it because you don't have any talent," concluded Duke, oblivious to the fact that Mallory's face was red with fury, "I meanwhile, have the perfect talent, I'm going to do one of my daring escape acts."

"Good for you, I hope you won't take it too hard when my band runs you to the ground!' stated Nosedive smugly.

"Oh yeah, we just see 'bout that, kid!"

"Why don't we go to the Anaheim Theatre Centre to sign up right now?" suggested Wing, hoping to stop a fight that, if started, would end very badly.

"Alright then, come on guys!" yelled Lance enthusiastically, leading the way.
