Okay, I got bored and made this. It based on two diffrent versons of The Ugly Duckling: The Disney book verson and that verson in my mom's oldy story book.

I own nothing but Jeffery, Jorge, Jennifer, and Joel, cause they are my OCs of Jack's older sibblings! (If ya didn't know that, you need to read more of my fics!)

Here ya go...

The Ugly Duckling
Once upon a time, there was a duck, which was at the time watching over her five eggs and keeping them warm so that they may hatch. Everyone called this duck Mother Spicer, for she was very kind and sweet like some spices.

As she was cleaning her nest for the coming of her kin, she felt something move beneath her.

"Oh! My eggs must be hatching!" she cried for joy, and she quickly jumped off her nest to watch the spectacle. One duckling broke through the shell and gave a quick 'Peep!' "Oh! Such a beautiful boy you are! I shall call you Jeffery!"

Some after two eggs burst simultaneously, "Ah! TWINS! I shall call you Jorge and you Joel!" The fourth egg cracked open and out popped a female duckling, "Ah! I shall call you Jennifer!" All four were the color of buttercups and were as soft as down.

But alas, the fifth egg did not hatch, and so, being motherly and all, Mother Spicer sat upon the egg for one day, till she felt it move.

"Oh! My egg is hatching!" she cried for joy.

Crack!

The egg popped open, but what did the five spy? An ugly little duckling that was gray and had a puff of red feathers on his head. 'Honk!' he said. 'Honk! Honk!'

But, being motherly, Mother Spicer loved the ugly duckling any way. "I will call you Jack!"

The next day, Mother Spicer took her ducklings to the lake to swim, but four of those ducklings had other plans.

"Oh! No, no, no!" the four whined. "We do not want to swim with someone so ugly as he!"

Mother Spicer frowned upon her children, but let them swim any way.

The four were persistent though, "You will not swim with us!" and they pecked poor Jack's head. He began to shed tears.

"Why do they call me ugly? And why do they wish to hurt me so?" Jack began to cry tears that rippled on the water that he was next to. When he calmed, he peered into the water and gasped. He saw a gray, carrot toped, ugly duckling staring back at him from the ripples. "Oh, how ugly am I! No wonder no one wishes to play with me!" he began to sob again and waddled into a dark, dense forest.

Jack was frightened of the noises that he heard in the forest and began to waddle faster. He soon began to waddle faster than he had ever gone before, but he crashed into a huge pillar of some sorts.

"Oh!" the pillar cried. This made Jack jump. "It's a duckling!" A girl with ebony hair and sky blue eyes stated.

"Kimiko! Keep away from that thing!" a boy with brown hair and emerald like eyes demanded.

"But, Raimoundo! It's just a duckling!" the girl cried.

"It looks sick! And look! It has red eyes! Lets go NOW!" and the boy pulled the girl away.

Jack hastily tried to catch up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get them.

"It is because I am ugly that, that boy dragged that girl away!" Jack began to sob once more. He toddled for many days, till he found a lake.

The lake had a duck in it that was most strange! It's head was completely round, it had beady black eyes, it was small, but what made it even more peculiar is that it was EXTREMELY yellow. More yellow than an adult duck should have been. It was a little rubber duck that two children had let into the water.

"Oh! Maybe he will be my friend!" Jack swam to the duck, "What is your name?"

When the wind went by, it made the duck swerve in a way that is made a sound like, 'Omi'.

"'Omi' is your name? Okay! Hello my friend Omi!" Jack said with delight. When 'Omi' did not reply, he asked, "What is wrong?"

The duck said nothing.

Jack then realized that the duck was rubber. He sighed and decided that 'Omi's' company was better than none.

When the wind came again, it sent 'Omi' on a wild bobbing spree. Jack gazed at 'Omi' for just a second before he got hit in the head. He quickly swam to the shore and began to sob, "Plastic, rubber, living, dead, nothing can love me, for I am too ugly!" He turned around to see 'Omi' bobbing away to a far off place on the lake's horizon, and Jack cried even more so.

After a month, it began to frost and Jack knew he must seek shelter or die. He found a small cave, which he rested in.

The next morning, he heard the sounds of footsteps and squinted in the sound's direction. There were two people standing at the mouth of the cave, checking out the duckling.

"Oh! He's so ugly! I've never seen a duck that was a CARROT TOP!" the tan, red haired woman laughed evilly.

"I wouldn't be the one to talk, Wuya. You got a pretty red head as well!" a blond haired, blue-eyed male stated.

"Oh, shut up Clay!" she punched him and ran off. The boy followed closely.

"Oh! How ugly am I! Not even someone as ugly as that woman could love me!" Jack began to sob.

He waddled for days, freezing himself and starving, until he found a lake. He thought he could at least swim.

Jack swam to the middle of the lake, but being exhausted from an endless journey, starving himself and not getting very good sleep, he feel sound asleep. That night there was a terrible frost.

When Jack awoke, he was stuck in an ice-covered lake! 'Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!' He cried, but with no avail, he some silenced himself and went into a deep despair.

About an hour before noon, a gray haired, bald man came by the lake.

"Oh my!" the man cried, "You need help!" The man took out his switchblade and cut Jack from his icy prison. The duckling honked for joy. "I shall take you home and take care of you!" the man stated.

At the man's house, Jack was given some water and food, which he hurriedly and happily ate and drank.

"Oh! My heart is swelled with joy! Some one has finally showed me kindness!" Jack honked happily.

The next day, the man went to milk one of his goats. Jack followed close. As the man began his work, Jack began to poke around.

He snooping found him a spider.

Jack was terrified of spiders and honk very loudly. This honk startled the goat, which kicked than man, who spilled the milk. The man was furious at Jack, and he chased him away with a broom.

"Go away, you repulsive bird! I'll have nothing to do with you!"

"Oh! My heart feels great sorrow! My ugliness has yet again destroyed my life!" and Jack began to cry.

Over the winter months, Jack waddled about from place to place, but soon winter faded away and the buds of spring came to greet all.

Jack stopped at an edge of a lake to take a drink, but when he looked up, he saw the most beautiful creatures ever. Downy, white feathers, long flowing necks, beautiful wings.

"These must be The King of Birds!" Jack declared. He turned to run away, knowing that his ugliness would drive away these stunning creatures.

"Oh look! A new arrival!" cried a bird. "Come here, so we may greet you properly stranger!"

"Oh!" Jack cried, "I don't deserve a kind greeting from such beautiful birds as you! I am too ugly!"

"Oh ho! You have a sense of humor! Please join us, for I believe my peers agree that you are the fairest of us all!"

Jack gave a confused honk and gazed into the water. He gasped at what he saw. He did not see the gray, carrot topped, ugly duckling, but a beautiful white, carrot-topped swan!

"I-I am pretty!" shouted Jack.

"Oh ho! You are not just pretty! You are the fairest of us all! You are the King of us all!" All the other swans agreed. "Come and join us!"

Jack happily swam to his new friends, proving that today, looks are all that matter, but that's not the moral of the story.

The moral is, that you may never know when you find a King in disguise.

Other wise, just because you're butt ugly now, doesn't mean you're always going to be that way!

AND THEY ALL LIVED, UNTIL THEY DIED, HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

The End
