Dog, Dumptruck, Gibber, the Sea Duck, Louie, and New Fedora are all property of
Disney, and were not in any shape or form created by me. I am not making money off of this story,
just purely writing it for fun.
Brandon and Cecilia Cloudkicker, Mrs. Tropbottom were
created by me.
Authors Note: This is my first fan fiction ever. I am not (and would not make) a good author
at all (That's a dear friend of mines job). I am writing this because I love
TaleSpin and this idea popped into my head.
This takes place between the years of 1925-1937 right before
Baloo's Air Service was bought out by Rebecca Cunningham.
I hope you enjoy this!!

Chapter 1
June 9, 1925
"Look at him Cici!
Isn't he the most precious thing you have ever seen? And he's ours!"
"Slow down Brandon," Cecilia Cloudkicker replied
calmly. "I am so glad to finally have a
baby, but you need to calm your hyper self down. Leave that for when you are flying."
"I can't wait to teach the little tyke to fly!" Brandon shouted excitedly.
"Shhh…Brandon, he's just a little baby right now! You won't be able to teach him to fly for
quite a few years…you'll have time for that when he's older. At the moment, just enjoy him being young. It's a new experience for both of us."
Cecilia and Brandon Cloudkicker had wanted a baby for quite
some time. After being married 5 years
they almost gave up hope. But last
October came a great surprise. After a
routine checkup at the doctors, Cecilia received some astounding news…she was
pregnant! After many months of planning
they had a baby nursery all set up.
Brandon insisted it was going to be a boy so they had the room painted
green. In the end, Brandon was
right.
"Well at least I can take him flying…right?"
"Of course! Just wait
until he's a little older," Cecilia insisted.
"He could be in our air show!!" Brandon shouted, almost jumping up and down.
"Not until he can fly he won't be! That's crazy and dangerous!"
Brandon started an air show called 'Crazy B's Air Circus' when
he was 20. That's where he met Cecilia
Adams. She came up to him after a show
to congratulate him on a wonderful job.
She shyly told him she was at everyone of his shows and that she was a
pilot too. You could call it love at
first site, because from that day on Brandon and Cecilia were never apart. After seeing Cecilia fly, he asked her to be
in his show…and later, to be his wife.
The shows name was changed to 'B & C's Greatest Show On Earth'. Many people enjoyed seeing their
death-defying stunts. They either flew
their planes or cloudsurfed.
Cloudsurfing was a natural talent for Brandon. He had been doing it since he was seven, and still could. He taught Cecilia, who turned out to be very
good at it too. She also had a knack
for staying atop the plane while he flew death-defying drops and turns. When she found out she was pregnant she told
Brandon that he would be a solo flyer again for awhile. She just wanted him to be careful.
"We need to give him a name Brandon."
"You're right Cici!
What should we name him?"
Brandon asked back.
"How about Kristopher…and call him Kit for short?"
"Sounds perfect honey…just perfect."
Brandon and Cecilia cuddled their new pride and joy as he
drifted off to sleep.

September 1928
"Kit go with Mama and Daddy?" Little Kit Cloudkicker, now three years old, asked his
mother.
"No, not today Kit.
The weather looks bad and you just got over that little cold of
yours," Kit's mother replied.
"Then you should no go either!!!" Kit, almost at the point of tears, said.
"Honey, Mama's got an important new stunt she has to do
today at the show," she calmly told him.
"You can go next time, ok?"
"Ok," Kit replied.
"And Mama.."
"Yes baby?"
"I love you…and daddy too"
"We love you too baby…very, very much."
The babysitter arrived and Brandon and Cecilia left, blowing
kisses and waving. Little did Kit know,
but that would be the last time he would see his parents alive…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I can't believe it…not them…why them?"
People stood around crying and consoling each other. Little Kit had no idea why. He just toddled around carrying his
airplane, a model of Brandon's plane, around.
"Poor Kit…he's so young…too young to lose his mommy and
daddy," Kit heard his Aunt Martina say."
"Mommy and Daddy lost?"
Kit said in small voice, not knowing what she meant.
"Honey, Mommy and Daddy are gone…gone forever." Martina stifled a cry, not wanting to break
lose in front of Kit.
Kit, still not knowing what Aunty Martina meant, just went
back to playing with his airplane.
Later that day, Martina and some other close friends of
Brandon and Cecilia met in the kichen to discuss Kit. Martina couldn't take him in because of her job and none of the
others could either.
"I guess the only thing we can do is put him in an
orphanage," Martina said.
The others agreed, saying it was the best thing for him.
Three days later Martina kissed Kit goodbye in front of Maca
Laca's Orphanage.
"Aunty Martina going bye bye?" Kit asked.
"Yes, Kit. Aunty
Martina has to go bye bye, but I love you very much…just remember that."
Waving goodbye, she saw the scared look on Kit's face and
almost wanted to go back, but she knew she couldn't. Silently praying, she asked for Kit to be out of there fast…
