Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat I do NOT own the MD or any of the characters. I do not plan on it either. I do own my ideas and my insane ramblings though. I also own my hockey sticks and my own life.

Authors note: I like to write about life events and I hope to enlighten the reader into thinking about the more important things to life. Ever since I had a car accident years ago, I have taken each day as a gift that the Lord has blessed me with. I also take each day with my family and friends to be a gift. Please don't take life for granted to be angry with others, enjoy life to the fullest and rejoice in today; seize the day! Have fun and smile. Don't forget to smell the flowers.

A/N: this story is set on puck world when the characters are in their teens. Another thing to note is that when I was writing this I didn't know how long it was, but after starting it, it is longer then I wanted so I will be adding other chapters later. This chapter is just setting up the mood of the story.

The sun had been up for only an hour but that didn't stop Nosedive from getting up early to watch his favorite cartoon shows. He went down stairs to the kitchen and grabbed himself a bowl of his two favorite cereals: puck crispies and quacker flakes. There was nothing better than cartoons and mushy cereal in the morning. He had just settled himself down on the couch and turned on the TV when Wildwing came walking into the room.

"Hey there Dive"

"Mornin' bro" Nosedive mumbled with a mouth full of cereal.

"What ya doing"

"Washin' carthunes," he said as he munched on another mouthful.

"Can you repeat that without spraying food everywhere?"

Nosedive swallowed the food in his mouth, "I said I'm watching cartoons you lamer."

"Aren't you a little old for that?"

"I am not!"

"What ever" Wildwing laughed as he made his way to the kitchen.

"Hi mom"

"Oh hello there Wildwing"

"What are you doing?"

"I'm baking stuff for your brothers bake sale, and your fathers birthday cake."

"His birthday isn't for a few more days"

"I know, but this is the only time I have to do it."

"Okay I'll leave you alone and go bug Dive for a while."

"You do that dear." Mrs. Flashblade said as she mixed the batter for some cookies.

Wildwing went back into the front room to watch TV with his younger brother.

"Move over Dive"

"Why?"

"Because I want to sit down."

"But .I thought (munch munch munch) you were to old (munch mucnh mucnh) for this stuff"

Wildwing laughed at him. "Come on baby bro. If my twelve year old brother can watch cartoons so can I."

"But you're sixteen."

"Nosedive let your brother sit down" said Mr. Flashblade from where he sat watching the TV.

"I was just kidding Wing"

"I know you were Dive."

The three Flashblade 'men' watched the TV for an hour until there was a knock at the door.

"Oh no I totally forgot" gasped Wildwing as he jumped up and ran upstairs.

"What was that about?" Mr. Flashblade asked Nosedive.

"I don't know" Nosedive said as he went to answer the door. He looked out the peephole to see who it was. "Who is it?" he said in his best imitation of his mother's voice.

"It's Canard Mrs. Flashblade"

"Canard? Whose Canard? I don't know a Canard. You must have the wrong house." Nosedive said continuing in his mother's voice.

"Nosedive open up!"

"Nosedive? Whose Nosedive?"

"Nosedive stop fooling around" Canard yelled from the other side of the door before he tried the door, which was locked.

Mr. Flashblade sat laughing at the whole thing.

"I'm sorry I don't want any porn magazines or toothpaste you might want to try the Thunderbeaks next door."

"Nosedive let him in," Mr. Flashblade said quietly.

"Come on dad"

"Nosedive."

Nosedive opened the door for Canard. "Hey there Canard what's the haps?"

"Where's Wildwing worm."

"Why so upset all you had to do was say who you were and my mom would not have given you such a problem."

Canard glared at Nosedive. "Wildwing just ran up to his room Canard" Mr. Flashblade answered Canard's question.

"Thank you Mr. Flashblade."

"Your welcome. You can go up if you want."

Canard went upstairs while Nosedive made himself more comfortable on the sofa.

"Nosedive you shouldn't tease Canard like that"

"Why not? Besides you have to admit it was funny."

"I'll grant you that much." Laughed Mr. Canard.

Wildwing and Canard came down the stairs. "Bye dad Canard and I are going to go play some hockey with the guys."

"Can I come?" Nosedive asked enthusiastically.

"Sure" Wildwing responded.

"NO!" answered Canard.

Nosedive didn't wait for the discussion, but instead ran upstairs to get changed.

"Wildwing no, why does he have to come. The guys aren't going to like it."

"Who cares. Besides what else is he going to do on a Saturday besides rot his brain out by watching cartoons."

Just then Nosedive came sliding down the banister and crashed onto the floor. He gave the two older mallards a corny smile and got up rubbing his behind.

"Too late, it's already mush" retorted Canard.

"Ready to go baby bro.?"

"Right behind ya Wing."

"Alright then let's get going."

The three ducks headed out the door and to the hockey rink. As usually Nosedive skated circles around the other two as they went through the streets. Wildwing and Canard talked about the normal things teenage boys talk about (I don't know what that is because I was never a teenage boy.) When they got to the rink Wildwing's and Canard's other friends greeted them.

"Hey there guys nice of you two to finally show up."

"Look it's the dynamic duo."

"Here come the captain and the goalie!"

"Oh no, look they brought the twerp."

"Hey Wildwing can't you go anywhere without your little brother?"

"Yes I can, but how is he ever going to get better at hockey if he doesn't practice."

Nosedive was hurt by the other mallard's comments, but his spirits were brightened when Wildwing came to his defense.

"Yeah Wildwing's right. He needs to have our professional guidance if he's ever going to be a halfway decent player." Laughed Canard.

The wise crack hurt, but at least Canard was standing up for him, sort of.

"Hey thanks Canard" laughed Nosedive "if you keep defending me like that I will soon have to call you big bro."

"Don't even think about it" Canard sneered back.

The boys all get geared up and start to divide into teams.

"Wildwing which team am I on?" Nosedive asked.

"Well. uh. I don't know hold on and we'll find out."

"Too bad Mike you get the kid" laughed Canard.

"Why me?"

"Because he will make the teams even."

"I'd rather be a man down."

"Mike just take him." Wildwing said exhausted over the debate about his brother.

"Fine."

The score was two zip, in favor of Mike's team. Nosedive had scored both goals.

"All right! You're not that bad kid" Mike congratulated Nosedive after he made another goal, which made it three nothing and a hat trick to boot.

"I know I'm the best" laughed Nosedive

"Wildwing, stop giving him goals he's killing us." Canard verbally assaulted Wildwing.

"I'm not giving him anything, he just knows me too well."

Just then Randy drove up in his brand new monster truck.

"Hey there guys check out my new wheels" Randy called.

"Wow Randy how'd you manage to get this."

"My dad got it for me for passing my drivers test."

"Congratulations Randy" Wildwing exclaimed.

"Thanks, ya wanna go for a ride?"

"Sure" all the boys exclaimed.

"Wing can I come too?" asked Nosedive.

"Sure baby bro."

"Nope sorry kid" Randy said "I'm not allowed to drive miners."

"Wildwing's a miner."

"Yeah, well too bad."

"Dive's right Randy, if he can't go neither will I."

"Uh.."

"Wildwing you have to come" protested Canard.

"Yeah Wing you have to." Added Mike.

"I won't go without Dive."

"What do ya say Randy?" Nosedive asked.

The choice was Randy's will he let Nosedive come along for the fun? Should Wildwing go with the guys? Will Wildwing still go if Randy wont let Nosedive come? You have to tune in later to find out.

Please RR. Trust me it will get better. The suspense part comes in next chapter.
