"Duck's Christmas Wish"
Sequel to "Goodbye, Acmetropolis"
Prologue: "Getting Ready"
Christmas time is always a very exciting time. Even for the Loonatics, who are busy preparing HQ for it right now.
"It's a good thing you goils are good with paper and scissors, or else HQ would be pretty bare this year." Ace said as he and Slam adjusted the Christmas tree. Ace was the leader of the Loonatics, sporting a black-and-yellow uniform and piercing blue eyes.
"Yeah, especially since Slam mistook the Christmas decorations for cookies and Tech and Cassidy's latest invention went a little haywire." Rev chirped, watching Lexi and Cassidy make new decorations. Rev was the youngest Loonatic, wearing black-and-red uniform. He had dark green eyes and a cheery attitude. Lexi, one of the two girl members of the team, wore black-and-pink. She had bright blonde hair and light green eyes.
"Hehe... sorry." Slam apologized. Slam was the largest of the team, but not at all fat. The muscle-bound Tasmanian devil wore a black-and-purple uniform.
"Hey, it was only experimental." Cassidy put in, standing up to wash the layers of glue, glitter, and pieces of paper off of her hands. The newest member, Cassidy wore a black-and-blue uniform. Her long, fire-red hair was pulled back into a braid. No one had ever seen her hair not in the braid. That is, except for one person.
Just then, Tech walked into the room. The tall, handsome coyote wore a black-and-green uniform, which matched his lime-green eyes. He quietly suck up behind Cassidy, wrapping his arms around her middle and planting a kiss on her cheek. "Good morning, beautiful." He whispered into her ear.
The female coyote turned around, smiling, before returning the kiss. "Good morning, handsome."
"UGGH!" Duck complained. "Please! Shouldn't you lovers be under the mistletoe or something?" He asked disgustedly. The mallard had the same bright blue eyes as Ace, but instead he wore a black-and-orange uniform.
Tech and Cassidy had been together for several months now, ever since the Loonatics had been disbanded and Cassidy had to return to her home planet, Sari. After a suspenseful struggle, Cassidy's father, King Johnathan, allowed her to come back to Acmetropolis. He, at first, was not happy about Tech and Cassidy being together, but he soon learned to trust Tech. Ever since then, the pair had been inseparable.
Lexi giggled slightly. "You spoke too soon, Duck." Everyone looked to where she was pointing. On the ceiling, right above the two coyotes, hung a piece of mistletoe. Rev was the only one who didn't look. He just sat there, innocently smiling.
Ace pulled Lexi close. "So, how about we join them?" He asked, kissing Lexi's forehead.
Duck rolled his eyes. "Excuse me while I go throw up." He said scarcastically.
"Why Duck? Do you have a problem with us being together?" Lexi questioned.
"No, I'm happy for all of you, just do the mushy-gushy stuff where I can't see, please!"
As much as Duck hid it, he was very happy for them, especially Tech and Cassidy. Everyone had been able to see a change come over the two as they became closer. Cassidy no longer hid from everyone and became a lot more open. Tech, too, had learned to socialize a little bit more and always looked happy.
Rev suddenly perked up. "I have an idea! Let's go sledding!"
"Yeah!" Everyone agreed and ran off to get their stuff on.
Cassidy smiled. She had a feeling that this would be the greatest Christmas ever, not to mention her first.
