It's amazing how so many things have changed since we came to Earth. Relationships, friendships, viewpoints, feelings, maturity, knowledge, experiences, perspectives, emotions. The list goes on and on. For instance the team. We started out with seven, but now we are six. Some of us are happier then others about this fact, but we wont go into that. Looking at each of my team members and myself I see strengths and weaknesses. One team member in particular seems to have had a profound effect on me. Actually, now that I think about it, he reminds me of my mentor. I look up to him. Heck, I would love to be him. He may not know it, but his actions have shaped my life and personality. A simple smile lets me know that I'm accepted and welcome. A harsh word or threatening look tells me to back off and lay low for a while. But no matter what I'm glad to have been able to have met him and have had so many experiences with him. Why, I remember this one time we were practicing passing the puck. I guess I was having an off day or something, but whatever it was I was not performing up to par. I felt bad for messing up the drills. The snide comments, displeased looks, and being rejected hurt. He could tell I was emotionally bashed and depressed. Instead of telling me I was a failure he pulled me off to the side and made me practice. True I wanted to do something else besides hockey drills, but he did not give into my meager excuses to free myself to wallow in my sorrow. He made me stay and practice. He kept pounding on me trying to make me get the drill correct. When one way of explaining the technique did not work he resorted to other methods to prove his point. He never gave up on me. Ugh, did I hate those drills and all that time I spent out there on the ice. Now that I look back, I'm glad he made me stay. I would never have gotten this far if it were not for his persistence. In a way that day was fun, even though I hated it at the time. I felt like he was picking on me, but in a way he was teaching me a valuable lesson. Call it a bonding experience, call it progressive learning, call it whatever you want, but I look at it as my first steps towards understanding that duck! Now I know that we have had misunderstandings and we have disagreed on how or when to do things, but after all someone HAD to make the decisions. So many times he's proven to be my better. Ever since we've met I've been contradicting myself. Under one pressure I behave one way, and under another pressure I do another thing. I know it looks bad and its not the right thing to do when some people look to me for answers and others see me as a role model. But that's probably what he's thinking. I mean not feeling like he's the right person for the job. How many times have I told myself that? More times then he knows, more times then anyone knows. No matter, I must keep up the confidence charade for however long it will take. I know none of us, I mean the ducks and I, are truly honest with one another. Well, maybe not ALL of us. There are a couple of my team members that I think I pretty much have figured out. Like I was saying, before I interrupted myself, he probably can see right through my mask. After all he has seen through my many disguises before. How did I ever think that I could fool him? I guess that's a failure of youth. Some days I just want to open up and tell the world my feelings. I wish that he knew my true feelings about him. It scares me sometimes he doesn't know, and that he may never will. He has a way of pushing everyone important in his life out of the way in hopes that we wont get hurt. But I was hurt. The invasion ripped me apart. Not only did I loose my home, but my family, my freedom, and my friends. I fear that I may have lost myself. Is that how HE felt when taking on this task? There are just way too many responsibilities involved for him and I. I hope I make him proud. I hope we'll be able to see each other again. I know that I'm proud of him. Will I ever be able to express my feelings to him and will I ever find the answers to all my questions? I don't know the answers. No one knows the answers to all of life's questions. I will just have to keep moving forward and try to answer all the questions I can while I'm still on this planet. Until I get home I'll have to keep strong and remember that all my loved ones; family, friends and team members; are counting on me to take Dragonus down and rid the universe of the Saurian rule forever.

Okay now whom is speaking and whom is the speaker talking about? Be careful with the last part, it is a little tricky.

Please let me know what you think. This is the first time I have tried this style of writing. Should I do another one for another one of the ducks or Saurian's? I know it was short, but Calculus class only lasts so long and so do the inspirations -_^. If you want to know if your guess is right I'll email you the answers, all you have to do is ask.
