After returning home from the hospital with two injured ducks, (Nosedive with stitches, and Duke with several small sets of stitches), everyone had been a little "off", and everyone was more than annoyed with each other.
WildWing, and Canard spent hours with Duke getting the story out of him, and then spent an hour lecturing him on how he should have told them. When Duke debated that he had told Tanya, which brought Tanya into the fight. Tanya got mad at Duke for betraying her and then got at WildWing and Canard for blaming her. That brought Mallory into the fight who defended Tanya.
So the fight was now, Canard and WildWing, Tanya and Mallory, and Duke by himself.
Duke wasn't the only one solo for long however, Grin had had tried to break up the fight only to get him involved. He was not disliked by everyone except Nosedive, Nosedive was the only one talking to Grin, which made Canard mad. Canard saw Nosedive being a traitor and yelled at him. This got WildWing furious who had been especially overprotective of Nosedive. So WildWing and Canard were now fighting, which angered Mallory. Mallory yelled at WildWing for yelling at Canard, because Canard was right. Tanya sided with Mallory on this one, trying to bring in "reason", why Mallory was right, for Mallory had defended her and now she needed to return the favor.
Duke was aggravated at Mallory especially because she had always given him a hard time, and he was close with WildWing and the kid, so he defended the brothers. Grin again tried to break up the fight, which earned him dirty looks and intentions from both parties.
The fight's parties were now, Mallory, Tanya, Canard, and Duke, WildWing, and Nosedive. Grin still remaining neutral. Finally Phil had come "home", and found everyone screaming their heads off. Now every manager knows that any sport that requires teamwork requires the members liking one another. Therefore this immediately threatened Phil. He would have talked to WildWing or Canard but they were too upset to talk about anything. So he went to Grin, who calmly explained their situation.
That night everyone went to bed mad at the opposing team, which is never a good idea. About seven in the morning Phil woke everyone up.
He first went to the ladies, since it took them longest to make themselves presentable. He knocked on the door.
"Ladies?"
"Phil if that is you, than you better run", barked Mallory.
"This is important it's about you guys, meet me in the living room as soon as you're ready."
The women mumbled something, Mallory cursed. "Get in here, I can't hear you."
Phil hesitant walked in. Tanya was wearing a two-piece pajama set, which had stars on it. Mallory was in shorts and a t-shirt.
"This is important, its for you guys", stuttered Phil not used to seeing the girls in their pj's.
"Whatever", said Mallory, "We'll be right there, and stop staring!"
"I'm sorry! I didn't realize I was! I'm sorry!"
Tanya laughed, "Don't worry Phil, we'll be right in."
~ Grin was next, "Hey big guy, can I come in?"
"Yes."
Grin was wearing a white t-shirt and shorts.
"Hey Grin, look we're going to have a conference in the family room, get ready okay?"
"Sure, I think that this is an excellent idea, in which I support completely."
"Uh thanks?"
Next room was Canard. He knocked, and then opened the door. Canard was wearing a worn out jersey and shorts.
"Canard, wake up. We're having a conference in the living room, get up."
"What the he-"
"I'm serious now come on, everyone else is getting up. That includes you, unless you're scared or too lazy."
Canard cursed and then agreed to get up.
Next was Duke. Duke's apparel was different. He had on a long robe type fixture, something like a dective's outfit. Inside were shorts.
He knocked the door than opened. "Duke, wake up, we're having a conference let's go, up and at em. Nice outfit."
"What, oh shut up?"
"Just get up and meet me and the rest of the ducks in the living room."
"Why? So I can get yelled at some more, no thanks Phil."
"L'Orange, this is important now either you partake in this or you can spend the rest of your time here lonely."
Duke was taken back, Phil never talked like that or used his last name, "Whatever", said Phil, "I'll be there."
Finally it was the brother's turn. He walked towards their room, the
next biggest room, to the girls. He walked right in, toward WildWing.
WildWing had sweat pants on, and no shirt. Nosedive had a light t-shirt on, and sweat pants.
"WildWing", said Phil, receiving a swat and having WildWing turn over mumbling something.
"WildWing", he said again, "Wake up."
"Phil is that you", asked WildWing, "Looking up would only confirm that."
He looked up, and saw Phil, "Are you kidding me?"
"Come on let's go, we're having a conference now come on, get Nosedive and meet me in the living room with the rest of the ducks."
"Oh no."
"Oh yes, now get Nosedive and come on, or I'll get Nosedive, and drag you both out."
WildWing grumbled, and cursed.
"Okay that's it! If one more duck curses at me", Phil stopped, and saw WildWing laughing at him. "It's not funny!"
This made WildWing chuckle harder. "Whatever you say man. Okay I'll get Dive, but oh never mind, this better be a good idea."
"Yeah I'm hoping", muttered Phil as he left. He headed toward the living room.
He found the two women on one couch talking, Duke on the other opposing couch staring out in space. Canard walked in and sat next to Mallory, and Tanya. Grin walked in next and sat on the floor, refusing to sit realizing that the couches were holding both opposing sides.
"Well the Flashblade's didn't show", said Canard, "How predictable."
"Shut up", snapped Duke.
"STOP", said Phil, "You can fight as soon as the brother's come. I woke them up last so they didn't have the same time as you all did, so no Flashblade criticizing."
Finally the brother's walked, Nosedive was half awake, and was leaning on his older brother who aided him in.
WildWing stood there examing the situation. Phil was in the middle of the couches, one couch held Canard, Tanya, Mallory, while the other held Duke. Grin was on the floor right below Phil.
"Something wrong", asked Phil.
"This looks like consoling."
"Excellent observation, and you would be correct."
The other ducks tilted their heads up with rude remarks ready.
Phil put a hand up, "I have had enough of friends ridiculing one another over an issue. This is ridiculous and I'm ending this now."
By now Nosedive had fallen onto WildWing completely and was now sleeping.
"Dive", said WildWing, "Come on Dive wake up."
Nosedive groaned, but didn't resist. The Flashblades took their seats next to Duke.
"Okay well I'm glad that you have all seated yourselves the way you have", said Phil, "But you are a team, not two teams but a team, therefore I want Canard and Duke to switch places, anyone who does wish to partake in this even will go with Grin and meditate."
Both ducks did as asked of them. "Unbelievable", they both muttered under their breaths.
"I have one more switch", said Phil, he didn't want to say this but this was nesscary, he had a bad feeling though that this wasn't going to turn out the way he wanted it to. "WildWing sit in Mallory's spot, Mallory take the floor and Grin take WildWing's spot. Mallory there is a chair over there if you prefer that over the ground."
"NO", said WildWing, "I'm staying with Nosedive."
"WildWing", said Phil calmly, "Don't you trust your teammates?"
"No I don't", said WildWing, "Not now anyway."
"WildWing", shouted Tanya, "I have not been a problem at all with Nosedive except not telling you certain pieces of information and now you can't trust me? After all I have done?"
WildWing looked down, "Okay fine I trust you, but that's not the point!"
"I'll stay with Nosedive", said Grin, "Don't worry, there is nothing to be worried about."
Nosedive tensed up. Phil noticed this, it wasn't fair for Nosedive, Nosedive hadn't really done anything.
"New change of plans", said Phil, "WildWing you and Mallory switch places, Grin take Nosedive's spot, Nosedive you come over here with me. Don't worry okay honey?"
Nosedive seemed more relaxed, Phil had used a soft tone while talking to him, and it comforted him. "O-Okay", stuttered Nosedive.
Phil walked over and escorted Nosedive over to the floor, WildWing watched him the entire time.
"Okay", said Phil, "Now I have seen you all through the worst times, and you have always pulled through. Now come on is this stupid fight really worth losing friends over. Do you even know what you're fighting over?"
They all stopped, no one really knew. "Just bad intentions that escalated", said Grin.
"I agree", said Phil, "Now we have had very dire circumstances to deal with over the past few weeks. Everything is okay now, Randle is back on PuckWorld, the Profound Believers are in jail, you are all heroes. Everything should be good now, so make it good! Mallory how many "real" friends do you have? These are the best you have! Duke who is going to defend you on PuckWorld, who is going to say that you have gone straight? What friends are you going to have, all thieves correct? Do you really have much in common with them anymore?
Tanya you are a genius, you can land a job anywhere and you can make friends wherever you go. But will it ever amount to the credit and attention that you receive here? WildWing what is your life going to be like when you go back to PuckWorld? I know more than you now about your family life, and I know that you have no parents to look at for Nosedive, so he's with you. You know that and he knows that and you both seem fine with that. However where are you going to get the money to get started and on your feet? Your friends! But what friends will you have? Nosedive might have numerous friends, but they can't aid you in your financial need."
"How do you know that", cried WildWing.
"I'm more than your manager, I'm also your friend and maybe you all have forgot what you have confided with me. You told me one night if you have to know WildWing, you awoke from a nightmare about your family, you were half awake but sure enough you told me."
WildWing looked down, "WildWing, and Nosedive you need them for emotional support as well."
Nosedive looked at the floor, and played with a loose string on his pants.
"Canard, you and WildWing are best friends, you have been since you were six. Is this worth ending it? Canard you need this team for reasons that I don't even know. But you need them, I can see it in your eyes.
I'm not going to get into Grin, he knows what he will lose if he fights. He is the only with brains, for once he is the only one who really understands what's going on. Anyone that wishes to remain friends than I suggest you stay, if you no longer wish to stay then you may leave. I will have no more say in this matter."
"I think we have a practice to attend", said Canard, "As a-"
"A team", finished the team.
"What about me", cried Nosedive.
"You can stay with me", said Phil, "You can also help plan out plays. You have a game tomorrow so you all have a lot of work to do."
The team smiled, and went to go change. "Come on Dive", said WildWing, taking his hand, "We got to go change, we have a practice with a team."
Nosedive smiled he liked knowing no one was going to fight anymore.
Mallory was nosy and was never going to stop being that way, she pulled Canard aside along with Duke and the some what curious Tanya.
"What was that whole family issue thing about?"
"Why are you asking me?"
"Because you're his best friend and I'm quite confident that he has confided in you with this tale."
"Look this is not my story to tell, but for the record, their father left them for another women when they were young. Their mom hit them, and beat them around, she was a drunk. They grew closer and closer. For all of you that haven't noticed WildWing doesn't drink, neither does Nosedive. That's why. One day their father came back, and wanted money. The mother was drunk and started clawing at him. The verbal discussion, turned into a physical fight. WildWing and Nosedive were brought into it, and when they refused to help their father get the money from their crazed mother, they got hit. Badly. WildWing ended up with a broken arm, Nosedive however lost his memory. He was delirious for a few days, then regained full consiounous, and then finally after a few more days remembered who he was.
WildWing was seventeen at the time, Nosedive only twelve. WildWing got a small run-down apartment and a job, and tended for Nosedive. Nosedive hasn't had parents since he was twelve. So everyone let WildWing let Nosedive tag along. Man at every single party the two of them were there. When Wing said he was coming, you had to add on extra plate, because that meant Nosedive was coming too. Every weekend, they would come over to my place where there was a party, every weekend.
My mom let them sleepover the entire weekend unaware of their current situation. I let them for it was a better scenery then their run down apartment, actually they spent a lot of their time at my place. Anyway that's why they are so close, and that's why WildWing is going to be needing finical aiding when we return to PuckWorld."
"I think we should all live together", said Tanya, "I like it the way it is now."
"Me too", piped in WildWing who had overheard their conversation.
"Me three", said you know who, (Nosedive).
"Sorry guys if I said too much", said Canard.
"Nah", said WildWing, "Now come on we have a practice to run."
"Well we aren't dressed properly so we'll meet you guys there", said Tanya.
"NOSEDIVE", said Phil as he rushed into the room waving the phone in the air. "Do you have any idea how many awards of bravery you are receiving, and the rest of you, yall are receiving awards too! You'll be receiving them in a week!"
They ducks beamed with pride, especially Nosedive, he couldn't wait, little did he know that he wouldn't have to wait for a week to be up, to be beaming with pride in front of many. Something was going to happen something for once that was going to be good, good but risky.
Author's Note~ Want more, or should I end it here? Just kidding I'll finish it up, although it is coming toward an ending, I'm thinking of adding a sequel to it, interested? If so say so in the reviews! Thanks all bye!
