Author's Note: Hey everyone, what's up? Thank you for the income, and stuff like that. Yadda yadda, I don't really have much to say right now. Oh yeah I remember I'm really "slow" at this computer lingo, so can someone tell me what the following mean? I don't care if you do it in e-mail or in review. Whoever gives me the meanings, gets a request. Promise. Okay well here they are:

O.o

OOC

Thanks all bye!





Grounded for two weeks, thought Nosedive. Grounded for knowing the word, and thinking it, and grounded for saying it. I am grounded from all electronics and I cannot leave this building until something happens, joy. Wait better, WildWing is getting better at punishing because I am completely confined to my room. Oh yes I get to leave for fun training with Smith, and Prot. How much fun. Well I'll just get to keep staring at the ceiling how much fun?

"Hey kid", said Duke stepping into the room, "Care for a visitor?"

"Hey Duke! Yes come in! I am so bored!"

"WildWing is getting better at punishments huh?"

"Oh yeah. So tell me who punishes him when he says something inappropriate?"

"I guess no one, but kid, WildWing never curses."

"Whatever. It's not fair. I'll have to get him while he's sleeping or something."

"Oh, what are you going to do?"

"I dunno yet, everything I have come up with has been too "fair".

Duke laughed. "Well it's time for dinner, and yes you can eat outside your room."

"REALLY? Oh thank God!"

Duke laughed again, as Nosedive bounced out of the room, or to him, prison.

"Hey Nosedive", greeted Tanya.

"Hi!"

"Well you're hyper today".

"You would be too if you were stuck in your room all day with out any form of fun!"

WildWing gagged on his water from laughing. "And he thinks its funny", cried Nosedive, "My own brother!"

Canard started laughing too. "Come here Dive", said WildWing.

"Okay maybe I was a bit harsh".

"No really? Ya think!"

"All right you no longer have room confinement."

"YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

WildWing rolled his eyes and gave his brother a noogy.

~*~

"Nosedive is this all you packed", asked Duke while throwing Nosedive's luggage into the car.

"Yeah, but knowing WildWing he probably packed everything for me in his suitcase."

"And what if he didn't?"

"Than I'll buy them", snapped Nosedive harshly.

"Geez sorry".

"Shut up", cried Nosedive emphasizing each word with hatred.

Duke looked hurt but blew it off. Lately Nosedive had been very snappy and angry. He didn't enjoy his normal activities, and he hadn't even been down to Captain Comics to visit his friends in a whole week. Normally Nosedive couldn't go two days without seeing them.

However the finals had been on the kid's mind so everyone allowed and put up with his rude behavior.

They had to travel about two hundred miles to get to the finals, where Nosedive would be competing. Smith and Prot were already there filling out paper work and other things that needed to be done.

Smith, Prot, and Nosedive were all nervous. But not equally nervous. Prot was scared out of his mind, if Nosedive didn't perform as he should than he was out of job. He had stuffed the kid with the drugs, and had even spiked the kid's drink with them.

He couldn't afford for Nosedive to lose. He couldn't be out of a job, not another one. Nosedive's scores had tripled since he had started out, thanks to practicing and steroids. His times were not good enough to do some competitive racing with the "pro's".

~*~

"Nosedive stop being so cranky", said Mallory.

"Shut up you bit-"

Nosedive bit his tongue remembering the last time he had cursed and what had happened. It was too late though; he had enough of the word out. WildWing whirled around in his seat from the front.

"Canard pull over", said WildWing, "Let's get lunch or something. Nosedive I need to speak with you when we get out of this car."

Nosedive groaned. Canard pulled over at a Dominoes for lunch. The ducks piled out of the car, and stretched.

"Come here Dive", said WildWing.

"NO", retaliated Nosedive, "Leave me alone."

Usually WildWing would have been hurt by Nosedive's words, but this was getting to be a pattern so he didn't think of it as an insult.

"Too bad Dive", he said pulling his brother aside from the group. "We have to talk."

"No!"

"Yes! Nosedive what is the matter with you? You can tell me."

"Nothing is wrong! NOTHING!"

"Or so you say. Nosedive is there something that you haven't told me?"

"NO!"

"Fine. You keep playing innocent. But if you don't tell me why you are freaking out at everyone than I'm going to do something about it, like grounding you and other things. Understood?"

"Leave me alone!"

"NO! I'm your brother! I will not just leave you alone. Now I know that you are under a lot of stress but I don't care Nosedive. That isn't an excuse to go running around like your king of the world and say rude comments and inappropriate words and phrases. If there is something wrong, than tell me. I'm here for you. No matter what."

"NOTHING IS WRONG! Do you understand that?? I'm FINE!"

"THAN WHY ARE YOU YELLING?"

"YOU ARE TOO!"

By now the other ducks could no longer prevent themselves from not looking at the fight. The brother's were glaring at each other.

"Leave me alone WildWing. Why don't you ever believe me?"

"I do believe you, on lots of topics. But not this one! Not this one Nosedive. Is Smith being mean to you or something? Nosedive tell me! I'm your older brother!"

"Nothing is wrong", said Nosedive whose eyes were now filled with tears.

He hated having "secrets" with Prot. And he didn't know what was happening to him. Everything was annoying him, and he was snapping at everyone. And yelling at everyone, and shouting and screaming at everyone or anything! And then Nosedive would have the most obsessive cravings for food, but most of all those pills.

WildWing's angry tone soon softened to a gentle and soft tone of voice after seeing his brother's eyes filled with tears.

"Nosedive, honey what's wrong?"

"I-I hate this", Nosedive finally choked out. He could finish the rest he was crying hysterically.

He fell onto his knees, "I hate all of this!"

"Canard", said WildWing, "Why don't you get a take out, everyone back in the migratory, I'll be right in."

Everyone agreed and did as asked of them.

WildWing knelt down to his sobbing brother, and embraced him.

"Easy there kiddo", said WildWing, "Now what do you hate?"

"E-e-everything!"

"Sshh. It's okay, don't cry."

"I can't help it!"

"All right, all right, it's okay."

WildWing scooped his brother up into his arms. Nosedive had gotten a lot heavier, with all of the muscles. This made it harder for him to lose weight, which was another thing that he hated.

Nosedive put his head into his brother's chest.

WildWing rocked him. Finally he stood up and carried a sleeping Nosedive to the car.

"So", said Duke, "What happened?"

"I-I don't know", replied WildWing, "I wish I did, but I don't. And its scaring me. Nosedive has never been this, this"

"Unstable", suggested Tanya.

"Yeah", sighed WildWing holding his brother. "He's going to stay with me for a while."

Eventually Canard returned with the food, seeing WildWing holding a sleeping teenager, whose eyes were wet, and red.

"It's okay Wing", he said gently, "I'm sure Nosedive is fine. It's probably just anxiety and pressure. Don't worry about it."

WildWing nodded, what was happening with his little brother? Whatever it was WildWing intended to find out.
