(A/N: Hey, everyone! This fic will tell how Quacky the Duck reformed, and it takes place before the births in "Family Starters".)
It was a fine day in the city of Petropolis. The bad guys were out causing trouble, but the T.U.F.F. agents caught them, putting an end to the mayhem for the time being. Say, I remembered that Dudley and Kitty are expecting triplets, and they're probably on their break right now, so let's go see 'em.
I was right. Dudley and Kitty were in the break room when I showed up.
"Hey, guys!" I greeted as I walked in.
"Hi." Dudley and Kitty greeted.
"Won't be long before the kids arrive, right?" I asked, knowing that Kitty was due to give birth to the triplets any day now.
"Right." said Dudley.
I couldn't help noticing that he looked troubled.
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"Kinda. I really wish Quacky hadn't become a bad guy. Our kids probably would've loved his show." Dudley said.
"You're right." Kitty said.
"I bet I could get him to reform." I said.
"Can you?" Kitty asked.
"Will you?" Dudley asked.
Their eyes were sparkling with hope, and I just couldn't say 'no'.
"I'll do my best." I said. With that, I set out to look for Quacky.
Later, I found Quacky, and I told him to consider reforming.
"What makes you think I'm gonna reform?" he asked.
"If you don't, I'll be forced to make you suffer." I replied.
"And how are you going to do that?" he wanted to know.
"Use your imagination." I said.
Quacky must've imagined that I was going to hunt him or turn him into dinner, because he suddenly looked freaked out and yelled, "OKAY! You win! I'll reform! Starting now!"
"What's going on?!" asked the Sharing Moose as he came into the room.
"Sharing Moose, we have to reform! Right now!" Quacky yelled as he ran to the Sharing Moose.
"Why do we have to reform?" the Sharing Moose asked.
"SHE'S GOING TO HUNT ME AND TURN ME INTO DINNER!" Quacky yelled, obviously very frightened and upset. After hearing that, the Sharing Moose decided to cave in and reform.
"Oh, all right. We'll reform." the Sharing Moose said.
"Thank you!" I said. Then I left.
When I got back to T.U.F.F., I gave everyone the good news about Quacky reforming.
"You didn't threaten to play "Duck Hunt" with him as the duck, did you?" Dudley asked, a little concerned.
"Dudley, I hate the hunt. Do you honestly think I would make Quacky go through something I hate?" I asked.
"She does have a point, Dudley." Kitty said.
"So what did you do to get him to reform?" Dudley asked.
"I told him to use his imagination, and he imagined being hunted and turned into dinner. The thought scared him to death, and he reformed right on the spot!" I said.
"Wow! If it were only that easy to make villains reform!" Kitty said.
"Yeah. Anyway, now that Quacky has reformed, you can bet that he'll be doing his show again real soon." I said.
Sure enough, "Quacky The Duck" was back on the air in less than a week, and the show was as good as ever. And as you already know, Dudley and Kitty's children enjoyed it.
The End
So that is how Quacky reformed. Hope ya liked it!
