WAKING UP

***

Good evening… or is it morning? Ah well… And welcome to the masterduck theatre. Now that I have made you laugh, or snort, or stare in wonder at my own insanity I would like to inform you that, there are only a few stories left to be written and posted. Yes my friends, this does not last forever, and I probably should have waited longer to post my stories. However… I have this thing about waiting. I am impatient because a lot of y'all are writers, and you are really, really good at it. I like your stories, but some of you wait long amounts of time to post. Therefore, I see no reason to do the same because I know I hate it. *And if you don't know, that's a hint for one or two of ya…* Carrying on, you may now read this evil story… which I'm beginning to not like because I really can't stand Ruben… which is sad because I created him…

***

Mighty Ducks do not belong to me, Ruben and Kazar do… but I don't like Ruben 'cause the dude is a serious nut case… L

***

Nosedive shifted uncomfortably as Kazar glared at him. The dragon unhappy with the request given him.

"You are not going to the infirmary Nosedive." he growled.

"Please Kazar!"

"NO!" the dragon purred angrily as he frowned. "Nosedive," he said softly. "It is too dangerous." Nosedive frowned, crossing his arms.

"No it isn't. He's unconscious." He said. Kazar murred in frustration.

"I will not accompany you to the infirmary so that you will be placed in danger!" he exclaimed, rising from his place in front of the large generator. He stayed down here in this area because it could get incredibly hot, and he loved it. Nosedive sighed as he looked at his dragon friend.

"Fine." He growled back. With that he turned away.

"Nosedive." Kazar called, causing the teen to stop in the doorway and turn. "Please, keep away from Ruben. He will kill you." He warned. Nosedive said nothing, merely turning and leaving the room as Kazar lay back down with a wince of pain. He prayed to the Great King that Nosedive would heed his words.

*-*

"Waste of breath Wildwing." Ruben was saying. "A waste of time, breath, and energy." Wildwing ignored him as he watched the red lightning dance across his body. Ruben was still lying on the floor, however the red lightning had left him alone. "Did you hear me DuCaine?" the black duck growled.

"Yes. I heard you." Wildwing spat. Ruben quieted down and Wildwing played with wisps of white flame with his left hand. Fortunately Ruben couldn't see it, but it amazed Wildwing that it didn't burn him and how it did as he wanted it to. He smiled wearily and made it turn into a ball, which rolled around atop his hand as he turned it over.

"Your brother. How old is he?" Ruben asked suddenly, startling Wildwing. The white mallard looked over at the black mallard.

"Why do you ask?" Ruben shrugged.

"Curious." He stated, almost seeming sane… almost. Wildwing frowned, extinguishing the white flame and stretching a little. The red lightning danced happily yet he felt no pain.

"He just turned nineteen last month." He stated. Ruben nodded.

"I see." He stated. "So, how old are you?" he asked. Wildwing made a face.

"What's so important about my age?" he asked. Ruben frowned at him.

"I'd tell you mine, but I lost count after one thousand and forty-seven." Wildwing's eyes widened, then he looked away.

"I'll be twenty-nine in two weeks." He stated softly. He looked back to see a look of confusion cross Ruben's face, then disappear.

"How much do you know about your family past?" Ruben asked. Wildwing shook his head.

"Apparently nothing." He stated. He stretched again as Ruben stood and the infirmary came into view. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"I must call my master." Ruben grunted. He fell backwards and sat still as the infirmary doors opened and Nosedive walked in, alone.

"Nosedive." Wildwing hissed. He stood but the lightning shot across him, causing him to cry out in pain and fall back to the ground, writhing.

"Wildwing." His brothers voice echoed in the 'room'. "Bro, I can't stay, Canard will shoot me. He's worried that Ruben will come out and kill me or something, but you're asleep so I don't see that happening in my near future." Wildwing looked to see that Nosedive was leaning over him, looking over his face. The teen took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "It'll be okay bro." He said softly. "I'm behind you all the way… just don't give up on me man." He muttered. Then he stood back, turned, and walked away quickly. He stopped at the door. "I love you bro. Come back soon." With that, he was gone.

"How touching." Ruben spat, he's legs bent, arms resting on his knees as he too watched the scene. Wildwing frowned at him, still twitching from the pain he'd experienced only a moment before. Ruben clasped his hands together near his head and cocked his head to the side. "Oh brother, I love you!" he said in a high pitched sarcastic tone. Wildwing growled at him lowly, the lightning starting to die away. Neither mallard noticed. They did notice however when Duke walked in a few minutes later and sat down in a chair with a sigh.

"Well Ruben, if you wake up, you're going to have to fight me before you get out." The elder mallard glared. In the 'room', Ruben nodded.

"That's fine old one." He grinned. Wildwing merely closed his eyes. He couldn't watch anymore. He gasped as he felt his body being moved, then cringed as he heard Duke's muffled cry of pain. Then he grunted as he felt pain as well, then darkness.

*-*

Drake One beeped as Ruben punched the codes his master had taught him. The mallard frowned as Wildwing came to again. The DuCaine hadn't been out long, but that was fine. Getting through the Pond was easy, seeing as how he knew where to go. Again he wondered where the mask was, but Wildwing was somehow hoarding that information, and he didn't want to bother getting it out of him. Maybe it was lost or something. That would explain the unnerving feeling that Wildwing knew where the mask could be, right? Ruben shook his, no, Wildwing's head as he continued typing. A moment later, Wraith appeared on the screen, Dragaunus behind him and Siege beside him glaring unhappily.

"YOU!" Dragaunus shouted. Ruben grinned and bowed.

"My Lord!" he said with a flourish. Dragaunus gave him an odd look as Wraith grinned evilly.

"Ruben." He purred. Ruben stood up and regarded the old saurian casually.

"Master. I am here." He said, his arms at his sides. One hand twitched and he mentally slapped Wildwing down again.

"Are you in total control?" Dragaunus asked. Ruben frowned.

"My lord, I am sorry. It is not possible till I kill this… Wildwing." He spat the name.

"Then why don't you kill him?" Dragaunus growled as Siege stomped away to stop Chameleon from swinging from a rope, attached to the ceiling in the background. Whatever it was that Wraith had given him had yet to have worn off.

"Because he has not yet come of age." Ruben stated, giving him a look.

"Come of age?" asked Wraith. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"Do my masters not know?" Ruben asked, startled. "Wildwing is a DuCaine. I am waiting till he comes of age and gains all of his power. Once he does, I will kill him." He explained. Wraith snarled furiously, Dragaunus growling from his place on his throne as Chameleon 'oohed' in wonder at this news.

"We're dead." The little saurian stated. Siege whacked him and sent him flying. "WHEEEE!" he exclaimed happily. Dragaunus and Wraith ignored him.

"What do you mean he is a DuCaine?" Dragaunus growled. Ruben started and stepped back.

"You really didn't know." He muttered. He bowed. "My lord, I'm sorry. I should have contacted you…"

"Enough Ruben. Just bring us the mask." Wraith growled. "And kill Wildwing. Forget about his coming of age." He ordered. He turned to Dragaunus as the screen shut off.

*-*

"Lord Dragaunus…" Wraith started, Dragaunus merely held up a hand to silence him as he listened to Chameleon cheer as he swung back and forth, flipping upside down over and over again as he did so. Interestingly enough, this seemed to calm the saurian dictator somewhat.

"We wait for Ruben to contact us again." He stated darkly. He glared at Wraith. "Pray that he does." He growled. Wraith merely nodded slowly as Siege grabbed the rope Chameleon was on and gave it a violent shake.

"AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" the little saurian cried. He fell to the floor and started wailing for some reason. Dragaunus actually turned and looked at him as Siege shrugged in confusion. Wraith put a hand to his head and groaned.

"Oh no." he muttered. Dragaunus frowned.

"Age regression." he stated. The older saurian nodded. Siege moved away from the little saurian.

"I ain't changin' no diapers." He growled. Dragaunus sighed and Wraith frowned.

"He won't get that young." He stated casually. He watched as Chameleon stood up, the now beginning to look like a child saurian running over and kicking Siege in the shin, causing the larger saurian to cry out in pain. Chameleon merely ran to Dragaunus and hid underneath one of the folds of the dictator's cloak. He yelped as Dragaunus kicked him, then ran away and out of the room. The three saurians looked at each other till Dragaunus growled.

"Just remember to feed him Wraith." The elder saurian merely glared at him.

*-*

Nosedive frowned as he watched Ruben stare at the now blank screen.

"What are you doing loser?" he muttered. The duck that looked like his brother glared at the large computer, then lifted a hand and shot a blast of the white fire into it, causing it to spark and then shut down. "HEY!" Ruben looked to see Nosedive now standing on the cushions of the couch. "IT TOOK TANYA A LONG TIME TO PROGRAM THAT!!!" he yelled. He yelped as a blast was fired his way and he leapt out of the way. Ruben snarled at him in fury.

"STAND STILL!" he yelled as Nosedive ran towards him. Another blast, and another. Nosedive leapt out of the way, thanking heaven that he'd paid attention to Duke and Mallory during practice for the past month. He pulled out his puck launcher as Ruben leapt down and threw another blast. Rolling out of the way, he fired. The puck missed Ruben, who merely laughed at him then stood still. "I'm wasting time." He stated, snickering as if this were all a game. He lifted a hand, causing Nosedive to yelp as he was lifted off the ground. The white flame once again danced over Ruben's body. No, it was Wildwing's body… Nosedive gave a yell of frustration, pulled his puck launcher in front of him, and fired again.

"GET OUT OF MY BROTHER YOU FREAK!!!" he yelled. He fired twice more. Ruben merely laughed at him, the pucks stopping inches from his face.

"You're not the first to call me that boy." He stated, the pucks dropping to the floor as he lifted his other hand, then started to close it. The puck launcher fell as Nosedive gasped for air, once again in a chokehold. "Now, you die. I could let you live, but…" he shrugged. "Where's the fun in that?" he asked. He grinned maliciously as he tightened his grip, then cried out as something slammed into his back.

"Let him go Ruben!" came a new voice. Inside, Wildwing blinked. Duke? Ruben turned, Nosedive still in the air.

"YOU!" he shouted. Duke merely glared, his red 'eye' glowing in fury.

"Yeah. Me." he was holding his sword with one hand, his other hand fisted. "Sorry Wildwing." He called, then he thrusted the sword forward into Ruben's side. The white flames disappeared as Ruben gasped, his eyes wide. He'd not expected this. How could he? These ducks were weak… they'd never… He cried out in pain as the sword was forced deeper into Wildwing's body. Wildwing, though feeling the pain, cheered at his teammate and jeered at his captor.

"GO DUKE!!" the white mallard shouted, fully aware that the ex-thief couldn't hear him.

"NO! WING!" Nosedive cried as he stood unsteadily. Duke glared at him.

"Stay back kid." He called. He then placed a foot on Wildwing's chest and pushed him off with a growl. The white mallard fell to the floor, holding his wound.

"WING!" Duke had to grab the teen from going near his 'brother', then glared at him.

"Nosedive, it's Ruben!" he exclaimed.

"Wildwing! Fight him bro! Come on!" Nosedive was becoming hysterical, seeming to forget that just seconds before he'd been being strangled in midair. He fought against Duke to get to Wildwing, causing the elder mallard to throw him to the ground.

"Get a hold of yourself!" Duke yelled as Ruben stirred. "Ruben will kill you!" then he cried out as a blast threw him halfway across the room. Nosedive cried out as Ruben blasted him angrily.

"ALL OF YOU WILL DIE!!" he yelled furiously, the insanity in his eyes making them seem to glow. Nosedive cringed, then let out a primal yell as he flung himself at Ruben, knocking him to the floor.

"WILDWING! YOU HAVE GOT TO FIGHT HIM!! AARRGGHH!" he cried as Ruben hit him upside the head and flung him.

"He won't fight me boy." He hissed, stalking over. "He's a coward… and he's WEAK!" It was his turn to cry out as a fist connected with his beak.

"MY BROTHER IS NOT A COWARD, HE IS NOT WEAK, AND HE WILL NEVER STAY DOWN! WING! FIGHT! PLEASE!"

*-*

Wildwing stood unsteadily as his body was flung back, Ruben yelling in frustration.

"Nosedive." He hissed in pain from the red lightning, then yelled in fury. "I won't let you down again." He whispered, glaring at his unwanted 'guest'. "RUBEN!!" he yelled. The black duck looked up and cried out in alarm as Wildwing slammed into him. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!" the white duck yelled as he pounded the black duck in fury, the white flame dancing across his body.

*-*

Nosedive leapt back in alarm as Duke stumbled back over to him, and Wildwing suddenly stood and threw his head back with a primal scream of rage. Then the white mallard stumbled forwards a little, hands clutching his head as he whimpered in pain. The white flame burst out, throwing Nosedive and Duke down and sending a shockwave throughout the Pond.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!" came Wildwing's distinct voice. Nosedive looked up at his brother in total fear as the elder fell to his knees, crying out in pain as Duke carefully and slowly headed over.

"That's it Wing. Beat the tar out of 'im!" Duke said. "Get 'im out!" he stopped moving and stood still as Wildwing screamed yet again. The white flames grew and pushed out, enveloping both Duke and Nosedive. They were both startled as it danced across their bodies, yet did nothing more. To Nosedive, this action seemed almost familiar and yet frightening at the same time. Wildwing seemed to quiet and the flames began to retreat again.

"Wildwing, don't give up!" Nosedive shouted instantly.

*-*

Ruben yelled and flung Wildwing off of him, then cried out as Wildwing merely attacked again, the two punching at each other, locking fists, then one throwing a punch when neither could knock the other over and down. Wildwing growled, and kicked Ruben in the stomach, causing the black mallard to fall to the ground.

"Get out." Wildwing snarled, the flames starting to fan out.

"Never." Ruben hissed. Then he screamed in pain as the flames slammed him down, pressing on him like heavy weights and nearly breaking every bone in his 'body'. The pressure was released.

"Get out." The order was given again.

"No." Ruben tried to stand, and found that he hadn't the strength. He merely tossed Wildwing a vicious smirk. "You will have to kill me." he stated. "But you're too weak for that." He added. He started, fear washing over him like a flood as Wildwing looked down at him, a look of total fury on his face.

"Fair enough." He growled, and then with a cry of fury he attacked, wrapping his hands tightly around Ruben's neck and squeezing with every ounce of strength that his fury fed him. "You tried to kill my friends, and you made me attack my brother." Wildwing hissed as Ruben gasped for air and stared at him with wide terrified eyes. "I will not forgive you for that." He growled. "SO GET OUT OF MY HEAD AND DIE!!!" With that he lifted up Ruben and slammed him back down onto the marble floor beneath him, and with a final look, he snapped Ruben's neck. Then he stood and stared coldly at the body. It wasn't until the body disappeared did it hit him. The fury died and cold settled in on him. He'd just killed someone… in a fit of anger…

"What have I done?" he whispered. Then the room disappeared as he regained full control of his body once more.

*-*

Wildwing fell forward onto the floor, gasping for air. Pain flared in his side from the stab wound, the flames dying away. Someone stepped forward cautiously.

"Wing?" came Duke's voice.

"It's me." Wildwing said hoarsely. "Ruben's gone. I…" he swallowed, breathing in shallowed gasps. "I killed him." He muttered softly. He grunted as Duke lifted him up.

"Aw man Wing. I'm sorry." He apologized fervently, glancing at the stab wound. Wildwing shook his head, then looked at his teammate with a weak smile.

"No. It's okay. I was kinda' cheering when you stabbed me." he admitted. He looked up at Nosedive, then started. His brother was sitting on the floor, staring at his brother. But what bothered Wildwing was the look in Nosedive's eyes. Nosedive was staring at his brother in total fear of him. "Dive…" the eyes closed, head shook, then Nosedive was up off the floor in seconds and enveloping Wildwing in a hug before the elder knew what hit him. Wildwing hugged his brother back, nearly falling over. He closed his own eyes and cried. Nosedive was safe and everything was right again… but the terror in the teens eyes never left him.

"Come on. We need to get Wildwing to the infirmary." Duke said. Nosedive nodded, and didn't move for a moment, his back shaking. Duke coughed and looked away. "You get him there kid. I gotta' go tell the others what's happened." He said after a moment. Then he walked away, leaving the brothers alone. Neither of them moved for a long while.

*-*

Wraith frowned, and opened his eyes.

"Ruben is gone my lord." He growled. Dragaunus gave him an odd look as a now very small Chameleon coward in a corner where Siege was trying to coax him to move. The now child was sobbing softly and shaking his head in pure terror of his once teammates.

"How can you be sure?" the saurian dictator growled.

"The powers that be have informed me that his soul has been returned to them." Wraith answered.

"Then get him back and send him back in!" Dragaunus growled. Behind him, Chameleon yelped as Siege grabbed him in one hand and turned.

"Caught the kid." He called triumphantly. Then he yelled in pain. "The little twerp bit me!" he hollered. Chameleon wailed as he was hit for the action.

"Just pray he doesn't have rabies." Dragaunus growled lowly, glaring at Wraith.

"I can not bring Ruben back. The powers lay claim to him and they are unwilling to let me have him again." The elder saurian stated unhappily. "Sire, I warned you that we should continue in the ways of our ancestors. You may want to heed my warning now." Dragaunus merely growled at him.

"I'll let you try your ways first before I even bother with them. More than likely, our technology will be more than enough to handle those ducks." He stated coolly. Wraith merely frowned at him.

"Maybe sire. But not enough to handle a DuCaine."

*-*

"It's so good to have you back to normal." Mallory stated as she watched Tanya finish patching up Wildwing's side. The whole team was in the infirmary, even Canard. The pain medication had worn off a while ago, and now he stood leaning on the wall and watching his long time friend.

"Yes, maybe now I can actually sleep." Kazar grunted as he stretched out lazily. Wildwing smirked at him.

"Sorry about that." He said softly, then grunted as Tanya started bandaging the now stitched wound. Nosedive merely grinned and shook his head.

"Still, these past two days have been pretty interesting." He stated. He shrugged. "I certainly wasn't bored." Mallory whacked him upside the head and he 'owed' then rubbed his head, frowning at her. Wildwing snickered at him, but the smile never reached his eyes.

"How'd you stop Ruben?" Canard finally asked. Wildwing quieted and looked down.

"I lost my temper." He said unhappily, causing Tanya to stop what she was doing and look at him. "I killed him. I mean, sure he was already dead but…" he shook his head and stood, nearly falling over. She caught him, then lowered him back onto the medicom bed.

"You need to rest Wildwing." She told him.

"Yeah, we're gonna' need our leader up and at 'em soon." Nosedive grinned. The grin disappeared as Wildwing shook his head.

"Pick someone else to lead. I'm through." He muttered. Canard pushed himself off the wall.

"What?" he asked in shock.

"Wildwing, you can't quit on us. Not now, not again!" Duke pleaded.

"You haven't done anything wrong!" Mallory exclaimed. She quieted at the look Wildwing gave her.

"Haven't I? I got myself taken over by some duck that died in the days of DuCaine, managed to give him a way to nearly kill all of you, then lost my temper and destroyed him with my bare hands!" he shook his head slowly, sorrowfully. "What if something happens and I lose my temper again. I… I don't know anything about these abilities! What if I snap and attack one of you? What are you going to do?" he asked, now staring at the floor. "And you all know that I am not the best leader in the world."

"Better than me." Canard stated. Wildwing snorted, causing the tan mallard to darken.

"Just take the mask." He said, looking up at his long time friend. "It was yours in the first place, I have no right to wear it. You're back, you've been back and you should take it." He stated. "I quit. I'll never be better than you." He mumbled. Nosedive stared, unable to move.

"Wing…" he started, then stopped as Canard walked over, standing in front of his brother.

"Wing." The tan duck stated coldly. Wildwing looked up, then cried out as Canard punched him with his good arm, causing the others to cry out and rush over. "COWARD!" he yelled as Grin held him back and Duke helped Wildwing up. "What, did that spirit fry your brain?" he asked. Wildwing merely stared at him, shocked as Nosedive glared at the tan mallard, an arm around his brother. "Listen to me, because I'm only going to say it once. This team would have died a long time ago if I'd stayed. I never would have thought to play hockey, it was always just a stupid game to me when we were children. When I joined the resistance all I wanted was to get rid of Dragaunus and get back to the way things were. If I'd been in charge, Tanya would probably never come out of her lab and we'd be spending all of our time training with new weapons. Nosedive would be benched. We'd be dead. Wildwing, you were brought to this team to help me, I had no idea what I was doing. I just wanted revenge. You have what it takes!" he growled. "Wildwing no leader is perfect! A good leader is someone who makes decisions keeping the lives of his teammates in mind and trying to find the best way to keep them all alive and get them all home in one piece. A good leader does not give up, values the team… Leaders make mistakes! It's the decisions they make afterwards, what they learn from them that makes them great! Several times since I got here I've seen you come out on top in situations where even the best back home would have coward to have to rush into. You're not afraid, you protect your team and look out for us. Wing, I made no mistake giving you that mask and there is no way I'm taking it away from you!" he growled, finally starting to calm. Nosedive merely nodded at him in agreement, then looked at his brother.

"Bro, I gotta side with Canard on this one." He said softly. He smiled weakly and shrugged as Wildwing gave him a shocked look.

"But Dive… what I did…" Nosedive shook his head, moving away from him.

"You kicked some serious booty today bro." He grinned. "I just wish I could have been of more help." He admitted as Mallory and Tanya moved beside Canard, Duke giving Wildwing a shake of his head and moving to join the rest of the team.

"What if I lose control though?" Wildwing asked them. Mallory smiled comfortingly.

"That's why we're here Wildwing. We'll help you." She told him. He frowned.

"You guys don't know anymore about this than I do." He snapped, then looked away. Canard regarded him darkly.

"You are a DuCaine, I have read every tale about him, I know everything that he could do, and once you learn how to travel to other worlds, you can go to Dimensional Limbo and ask the guardians even! They knew Drake DuCaine personally!" he exclaimed. "Don't cut yourself short Wing. You can do this, and we'll be right there with you the whole way, mistakes and all." He stated. The others nodded and Nosedive grinned.

"Come on bro!" he exclaimed, then he turned and walked away causing the others to look at him oddly as he opened one of the drawers at Tanya's desk. He turned around with something wrapped in a towel in his hands. He unwrapped it as he walked back over. It was the mask, and he held it out to his brother. "I ain't gonna' listen to nobody but you bro." He stated seriously. Wildwing looked at him, then smirked wetly, snatching the mask from him.

"Since when did you listen to me?" he asked, putting the mask back on his face and causing the others to smile at him. Nosedive shrugged, then cried out as Wildwing grabbed him in a headlock and nuggied him.

"HELP! I AM BEING ATTACK-A-DID!!" the teen cried, causing Wildwing to release him and look at him. Nosedive merely whapped him in the shoulder. He fought back tears, swallowing. "Your still my hero bro." He said softly, a weak smile on his face. The two brothers looked at each other till Duke gave an exaggerated wail.

"YOU'RE MY HERO TOO!" he exclaimed sarcastically, throwing his arms around both of the brothers, causing Mallory to burst out laughing. Nosedive pushed him playfully, a look of pretend anger on his face.

"Man! You just ruined the moment!" he exclaimed as the others laughed at him, Duke nearly falling to the ground as he was laughing so hard.

"That was great." Canard snickered, holding his left arm and shaking his head. Grin chuckled as Kazar lay on the floor, laughing into his front hands, his eyes tightly closed.

"Okay, we've lost it!" Mallory exclaimed.

"Well, you can gain it back as you leave." Tanya snickered, pushing the others out. "Wildwing needs to get some rest, and so do all of you. Now shoo!" she ordered. The others groaned and walked away slowly.

"You know she just wants time alone with him!" Duke called over his shoulder, slowing nearly to a halt. He yelped as Nosedive pushed him away with an exaggerated grunt.

"Come on one eye." He muttered.

"One eye?! WHAT?! Hey, what a second here…" Wildwing snickered as Duke was pushed out and then looked at Tanya who shook her head.

"Kids today." She shrugged. With that they both burst out laughing.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Another ending to another chapter. *sigh* looks like you'll all be waiting once more. Don't worry, I'm almost done. J Just so you know, I usually write the authors note at the beginning before I even bother to check my reviews… which is stupid but that's okay I guess. *grins* yes I am evil. Hee hee hee! But I'm evil to myself as well, because I want to finish it, but I want to leave you hanging some so you'll want to come back and read. Evil. Oh, and guess what! While I was writing this, I taught myself a lesson… which was really cool. I kinda' realized that my writing style may not be perfect and there's probably not going to be a lot of ppl who like what I write, but it doesn't matter. As long as I am true to myself as I write, and as long as I put effort into it then it's good. For all you other writers out there, just remember that and I also learned something else. Don't push yourself to hard when you get writer's block. Just kinda' toy with your story in your mind, read it over a few times and don't be afraid to change anything in it. It's your story, remember? One cool thing about us authors is that we can put down in words and details what we daydream about. Daydreams make the best stories sometimes and it's fun to try and put them down on paper. Hey, if your not having fun when your writing… then what are you doing? Homework? Sorry that this was so long, but I kinda' felt that this needed to be said. Thanks so much to those of you who are reviewing and letting me know that you're enjoying this. I love reading the reviews, they're great! Oh, and Papillion Star, great job on Orphan. I'm loving it! Hope you get finished soon too. Well, I'm off to finish this story, hope to have it up in a few days. Bye all!

"Get a job you like and you will never work a day in your life."
