The Diary of Danger Duck-chapter three
Dear diary,
Good morning! I had the most random dream last night. Ace's accent vanished and he accused me of stealing it! Seriously, how am I meant to steal an accent? It was just despicable.
Anyway, yesterday I wrote that I was bored and I was going back to the main room to think of more names for myself. Well there I was, thinking of some really cool names, and Tech was eating more pizza. It's strange how that coyote can eat so much fatty, processed food, but he still stays thin. Me, if I eat anything other than diet foods, protein shakes and bland toast, I become obese. That's why I need to exercise so much. Fan-girls don't like fat superheroes.
So, I was thinking of names when Zadavia called in. "Loonatics," she said, "I have to say to each and every one of you, job well done! The ice age is averted, the techno-Vikings destroyed, and Acmetropolis is safe. Thank you Ace, Rev, Lexi, Slam, Tech... good work, all of you. Zadavia out!"
She missed me out. SHE MISSED ME OUT!!! I couldn't believe it! I helped out so much on that mission, and she thanked everyone except me! Talk about ingratitude! Zadavia is constantly picking on me. But she's always nice to Ace! It's favouritism, FAVOURITISM I TELL YOU!!!
And when I complained, Lexi said, "Don't worry about it. You were fantastic!" But then Ace said, in a snooty, mocking voice, "Oh yeah. Heroic." Grrr, he gets me so annoyed!!! I decided that I didn't have to take that humiliation! "No one disrespects this duck!" I said, and pressed the buttons to call Zadavia back.
When she reappeared, I said, "Didn't you forget something?" "Yes, I suppose I did." She replied. I was pleased that she had noticed her mistake, but my happiness evaporated when, instead of apologising and thanking me, she said, "No more memos about changing your name. 'Danger Duck' is self explanatory and easy to remember. Request denied!" and then she vanished.
I was angry. Scrap that, I was (hang on a sec while I get a thesaurus) affronted, antagonized, chafed, choleric, cross, enraged, exacerbated, fiery, fuming, furious, galled, hateful, heated, hot, huffy, ill-tempered, impassioned, incensed, indignant, inflamed, infuriated, irascible, irate, ireful, maddened, nettled, offended, outraged, piqued, provoked, raging, resentful, riled, splenetic, storming, tumultuous, turbulent, vexed, wrathful! That is every word I can find that means 'angry', in alphabetical order!!!
That was how mad Zadavia made me. It's my name; I have every right to change it if I want to! I've decided that I can live with the name 'Danger Duck', but I still haven't forgiven Zadavia.
Anyway, that all happened yesterday. This morning, I woke up, got changed, and went and had breakfast. Then I came to write in this diary.
I still think it's a rather strange idea, keeping a diary, but it's sort of fun, writing down what happens and commenting on things. I've noticed that the others all write regularly in theirs, especially Slam. Slam is addicted to writing in his. The only times he stops writing are when we're out on missions, and at mealtimes. I would really like to know what he's writing about. But we all keep our diaries secret. In fact, Rev keeps his ridiculously secret. If he's writing in it, and someone walks past, he'll stop and cover what he's written until the person has left. What deep, dark secret could be written in Rev's diary???!
Well, it's been a very uneventful morning, so I don't really know what to write about...um...uh... I know! I'll write about these new bio-pets that everyone's buying! They're called Fuz-Zs, and they're little, coloured balls of fuzz with eyes, mouths and tails. They were discovered by this scientist called Doctor Zane, and now everyone's buying them as pets. They're the latest craze. I ordered one a few weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived yet (talk about bad service!).
When my Fuz-Z arrives, he (or she) will be my heroic sidekick! I'd better think of a good name for him (or her). How about 'Mini Danger'? Or 'The Fearless Fuzzball'! 'Super-fuzz'! 'Wonderfluff'! So many possibilities...
Lexi also seems interested in getting a Fuz-Z, and I know Rev's heard of them too, but the other three don't seem to know that they exist. I haven't seen Ace all day; I think he got up early to train and missed breakfast. Slam isn't interested in trends and stuff; right now he's occupied raiding the refrigerator. And if Tech had a Fuz-Z, he'd probably use it as a guinea pig for his experiments, or dissect it, or something like that.
I can't wait for my Fuz-Z to arrive! I'm so excited. I'm hoping that it will be delivered some time this afternoon, tomorrow at the latest. It's been over a month since I ordered it, but I expect that the shops are sold out, since Fuz-Zs so popular.
It would be nice if we heroes got our orders delivered first. I mean, we're always saving Acmetropolis, the least they can do in return is serve us before all those other 'common' people. We don't even get paid! Although I suppose we get free food and lodging and stuff.
Well, I'm going for a walk now. I need to work off all those calories from breakfast.
I'll write again tomorrow!
