This story was inspired by a certain e-mail hoax that was spread across the net. I was a bit fishy at first because my encyclepedias never mentioned anything about this matter...

Twin Moons
Transylvania, home of the ferocious vampire duck Count Duckula. At this time of night, the Count would've been hunting for his latest victim. But, a certain nemesis of his had proven once again that the hunter can become the hunted...
*Meanwhile inside Castle Duckula's torture chamber*
Count Duckula swallowed the large lump that was in his throat as he watched Dr. Von Goosewing set his latest invention up. The young count was amazed that his nemesis had captured him with such success. What had happened to Igor and Nanny?
"Zhere, mein Dr. Von Goosevink Mark ein Wampire Ray Machine iz now complete!" Dr. Von Goosewing smiled happily at the younger fowl, ignoring the vampire duck's begging for him to let him go as he is a vegetarian. Dr. Von Goosewing had learnt from experience that one should never trust a vampire that's about to be killed.
Dr. Von Goosewing took a moment to check his watch.
"Ah, just zwei minutes to go before mein machine shall be fully charged"
"If I may ask, Goosewing, will that machine stake me?"
"Oh nein, zhat machine will first charge up with the Lunar und Martian rays; und zhen solar rays zhey shall be"
"...And then you will blast me with that ray gun"
"Ja, I shall. I, Dr. Von Goosevink, am a genius, ja?"
"No, you are not, Goosewing! You are a being a fool." Igor's angry voice bellowed from behind the wall before Nanny smashed through.
"Igor! Nanny!" Duckula grinned from ear to ear before he frowned, "What took you"
"Igor, vot do you mean vhen you said not being a genius I am?" Dr. Von Goosewing pondered out loud as Nanny freed the young count.
"For as long as I had lived, Dr. Von Goosewing, Mars was never close enough to Earth for it to have two moons"
"But, zhat e-mail"
"That e-mail is a hoax, Dr. Von Goosewing."
"Gottdammering. Dr. Von Goosewing, for a genius, you sure are dumb..." the gander mumbled as his entire face glowed from embarrassment. Realizing that he is also in hot water with the one fowl that scares him the most, he jumped through the window. The shocked Duckula and his two servants leaned out of the window. Moments later, Dr. Von Goosewing's hot-air balloon drifted upwards until it was a few feet above the window.
"Count Duckula, you foul fiend! Lady Luck might be on your side zhis time, but it von't be for long! Mark mein vords, you blood-sucking Lord of Evil." Dr. Von Goosewing hissed angrilly at the mallard, not taking notice of him rolling his eyes. He didn't even take note of the love-struck Nanny.
Realizing that he had forgotten his trusted musket at home, Dr. Von Goosewing decided that it was best to go home himself. He ignored the glares he received from his nemesis and his two servants. When the gander was out of sight, Duckula quacked in anger. Nanny wailed loudly in despair about her love.
"How dare Goosewing call me a blood-sucking Lord of Evil"
"I know, M'Lord. Is it not an excellent compliment coming for your greatest foe?" Igor grinned happily.
As the hilltops of Transylvania are filled with angry screams, I fear I must bid ye farewell.
Goodnight out there...Whatever you are!
The End
