"Doc, are you sure this is okay?", Danielle asked getting a bit nervous.

Quasleet had hooked up his "special imaging" machine to Danielle , Clyde and Julia who had been placed in a special anti-gravity chamber with a good distance between each of them in case they moved around a bunch.

"Julia, Clyde and I used it last time and I think I got the glitches out.", Quasleet told her, "The separation is a bit painful, but I think I can dull it down a bit."

Julia placed a hand on Danielle's shoulder.

"Hey, we're going to see our friends in person.", she said smiling, "And it's almost that time of year again."

Clyde rolled his eyes.

"You mean the time of year where ducks share their feelings with others and share a special dance with the person they feel most about?"

Julia looked his way annoyed.

"Okay ducks, here goes.", Quasleet stated as he pulled a switch.

At first not much happened. The place lit up as the special helmets slid their visors over the trio's eyes and loud pitched sound rang out. And then came a faint tingle around Danielle's body, but then the whole room zoomed out like she was strapped to a roller coaster with Julia and Clyde right beside her going the same speed. The visors vanished and Danielle stared in awe at the large land masses of all kinds that floated around like balloons.

"So, this is Dimensional Limbo?", she asked clearly blown away.

Clyde pointed ahead.

"Hang on. We're about to make landfall."

A rift opened to reveal Earth and before anyone could say anything, they went through and into the cloud layer of the atmosphere going slower this time. When they got close to the ground, they came to a stop slowly and hung there for a few moments allowing them to stand upright before gravity took hold.

"Well, we're here.", Julia stated as she pointed to a large billboard not far from where they were standing.

"Welcome to Anaheim. Home of the Mighty Ducks.", Danielle read before noticing more words tagged on, "A.K.A. Area 52."

Clyde sighed.

"Classic human nature.", he muttered before putting on a straight face, "Well, off to the Pond."

/

Wildwing and the ducks were in quite a fix as they finished cleaning up the base.

"I can hardly believe that Valentine's Day is just around the corner and we're getting visited today.", Duke stated as he hung up some red and pink streamers on the ceiling.

Canard came out from the back with Thrash and Mookie carrying some large grocery bags full of Valentine's Day decorations.

"Phil even schedules a Valentine's Day charity game.", Thrash stated, "The whole Pond is like a giant card store blew up and it's heart and cupid drawings all got stuck to everything."

Canard brushed off his shoulder.

"Geez, Serenity wouldn't go this far."

"Who?", Nosedive asked as Morpha and him finished deciding on what roses should be with what hearts.

"The ruler of Evermore.", Canard answered, "A domain in Dimensional Limbo."

"What's that domain's theme?", Mallory asked.

"Love.", Canard said plainly.

"So she's Cupid?", Mookie guessed.

"Almost.", Canard answered, "She's really nice to look at, but she doesn't just fire some arrow and boom. She first looks for signs of actual love before she intervenes."

At that moment, the elevator doors opened to reveal Klegghorn and Phil stepping out.

"Okay ducks, there are two things going on.", Klegghorn reported, "First off, you got visitors claiming they know you. And two, one wants to see Canard really bad. Calls herself Danielle Angelwing."

Canard froze and while the other ducks went to the elevator, he bolted to it rather fast.

"What's with him?", Phil asked as the elevator started going up with the whole team on board.

Wildwing shrugged.

/

Up above, Danielle was marveling at the decorations the Pond had.

"Wow, this place really has style."

"Klegghorn should be getting the team by now.", Clyde answered, "That way we can get out of this hot mess and get some air."

Julia rolled her eyes as she got to Danielle's side.

"You know, this kind of reminds me of our holiday we have back home."

Danielle paused to let Julia know she had Danielle's full attention.

"I'd say so.", she answered, "I don't really remember much. The rebellion and Dragaunus' invasion kind of made me forget a bunch of stuff."

"Yeah. I've been there.", Clyde added, "So you think Nosedive and Canard will...how you say...pop the question?"

Danielle and Julia both looked at him annoyed.

"Hey, it's not up to us okay?", Julia stated firmly, "Love does not happen on demand or march to a ticking clock. Love will blossom when love is good and ready."

At that moment, the elevator dinged, but Canard came barreling out and headed right towards them like a charging bull. Danielle got nervous, but he skidded to a halt in front of them with a shocked look on his face.

"Oh hi Canard. What's the rush?", Clyde said very pleasant.

Canard just stood there barely making out words.

"You...you're here..b-but I-"

"Forgive Canard.", Wildwing said as the other ducks came over and noticed Danielle, "So we finally get to meet you."

Danielle put a hand out and Wildwing shook it. Canard got over his state and tried to sound firm, but the blush around his cheeks told another story.

"So uhh Julia, how's Quasleet coming with that portal?"

"It's still a work in progress.", Julia admitted, "But the holographic imaging communication device is enhanced enough so we can interact with objects now."

Danielle then grabbed Canard in a hug and was then squeezing the daylights out of him.

"It's been too long.", she said as tears came to her eyes.

Nosedive looked uneasy.

"Is she always this way around Canard girly-girl?", he asked Julia.

Julia smiled and shrugged causing her hair(light pink this time) and silver highlights to move and shimmer.

/

"So, how long are you guys here for?", Duke asked as the ducks took the time to take a walk around Anaheim.

"Not sure.", Julia answered, "Could be until tomorrow though. Grandpa has really outdone himself on this projection machine."

"Yep, he did.", Nosedive agreed.

Danielle still kept close to Canard's side as she took in the sights.

"So this is where you all live?", she asked.

"For now.", Wildwing answered, "Dragaunus and Charyus are still out there, but once Quasleet has the gateway thoroughly tested, we'll be back as soon as those lizards are taken out."

Canard shot a glance at Danielle's orange hair flowing in the afternoon sun and his heart skipped a beat.

"So Danielle Angelwing is your name eh?", Thrash asked.

Danielle looked his way and gave a shy smile as he extended his hand.

"I'm Thrash, this is Mookie.", he said mentioning to Mookie beside him.

"Oh yeah, you two are the so called "alternative life forms in search of cool body art and hairstyles not found in nature" right?"

"You better believe it.", Mookie said proudly, "Though nowadays I'm working as a doctor. Got my clinic open just last week."

Danielle looked inspired.

"I'll say this much. Earth sure looks a lot like home."

"Except less snow and ice.", Mallory stated.

Grin said nothing, but the other ducks could tell that he was listening. Canard then took a breath.

"Look Danielle, if you're interested tonight, I...well I was wondering if...you...me."

Danielle looked interested.

"Are you asking me on a date?", she asked.

Canard sighed.

"Yeah.", he said calmly, "What do you say?"

Before Danielle could answer, Morpha sprang out of nowhere like a crazy jack-in-the-box and clearly excited and taking Danielle by surprise.

"Morpha, I told you not to do that.", Wildwing said firmly.

Morpha clearly wasn't listening cause it was in front of Danielle and his tail was wagging playfully as his blue color points turned yellow.

"Looks like the amoeba wants to get to know you.", Nosedive said to Danielle before noticing her nervous look, "Don't worry, he's not rough, he's just enthusiastically energetic."

Before Danielle could move, Morpha tackled her to the ground and was covering her face with slobbery kisses before Canard pushed it off.

"Sorry about that.", he said sounding a bit embarrassed.

Danielle then smiled and wiped her face.

"Well, I know which duck he takes after.", she said giving Nosedive a knowing look.

That evening as the last rays of the sun sank below the horizon, Canard got out of the Migrator(which was Morpha) in the light gray shirt and jeans he had picked out for the night and his usual military boots. Danielle would arrive later since Mallory, Tanya, Julia and Mookie took her to do some shopping. He took a breath and looked over his shoulder as Duke handed over a box wrapped in a red ribbon and Morpha gave a thumbs-up with a tendril.

"Thanks for setting up this place.", Canard said as he adjusted his shirt collar, "I admit I'm a little nervous about doing this."

"Hey, you'll be fine.", Duke said calmly, "It was nice of Phil to give us this night before the game tomorrow night."

Grin looked at the table set up alongside the rail overlooking the beach.

"The atmosphere is clearly set for the moment."

At that moment, the Migrator pulled up and the side opened to reveal Danielle in a beautiful white dress with a blue sash around her waist, white high heels and a pink headband with a bow. Her dress seemed simple, and it covered her flowers(your mother will explain this) completely though the dress had no sleeves, but it looked nice none the less.

"You look...fantastic.", Canard said trying to keep his posture.

Danielle smiled as she came up to him.

"You look good yourself. So, when's dinner?"

Canard led her to the table where Nosedive and Duke came out looking like waiters and placed metal covered platters in front of them as they took their seats. I'll spare the details, but dinner was very nice and after they finished, Canard and Danielle took a stroll to the beach as the moon was a good distance off the horizon making the scene elegant.

"Danielle, I was wondering something.", Canard said as they got to the spot.

From the railing a good distance away, the other ducks watched in anticipation.

"So, what's with the flower and the band again?", Thrash asked.

"Puckworld tradition.", Clyde answered, "To celebrate Valentine's Day, the ducks back home exchange chocolates and personal pucks they care about to show they care. What Canard is doing here is the next step in a relationship."

They watched as Canard brought out the box he had and gave it to Danielle who opened it to reveal the red rose which made her smile greatly.

"Look closer.", Canard said smiling.

A glimmer caught Danielle's eye and she extracted a sparkling silver ring from the center of the rose.

"So Danielle, what do you say?", Canard asked getting down on a knee, "Will you...be my girlfriend?"

Danielle paused for a second and then she nodded.

"Of course I will."

Canard got up as Danielle then broke out into song in an angelic voice.

"There's music in the air. Can you hear it? It's in two-no maybe three, or maybe four. And I see me dressed in white. With two feet that feel so light. It's as though they never, ever touched the floor."

At that moment Canard and Danielle then began to dance as Danielle continued to sing.

"One dance, just you and me. Beneath the moon, beside the sea. One dance and it's happily ever after. One dance and you will see. We're not so different you and me. Just us two. Me and you. One dance."

Danielle continued to sing and the dance went on til she finished and Canard slipped his "proposal ring" on her finger.

"I would change what I am to be with you.", she said staring into Canard's eyes.

"And I would do the same for you.", Canard answered.

And at that moment, they kissed. They had parted when Danielle, Clyde and Julia started to flicker.

"Well I guess this is it then.", she said sadly, "Thanks for the date."

"I will make it back to you.", Canard said with determination, "I promise."

Theo watched this and smiled.

"Well, we can't have the trio go back the way they did can we?"

His book shimmered and then showed Danielle, Julia and Clyde waking up back on Puckworld, but Danielle still had her dress and Canard's ring on. Her other clothes were beside her and the other half of the book showed the ducks on Earth playing in the Valentine's Day charity game.

"Serenity would be proud.", Theo said smiling, "Canard and Danielle will see each other again."

(A/N: Danielle was singing lines from "One Dance" a deleted song from Disney's "The Little Mermaid". I claim nothing.)
