(ooh big word). Please keep the reviews coming, they are very much
appreciated!
Nosedive walked into the room, which was occupied, by both Duke and Mallory who were both watching T.V.
Mallory elbowed Duke forcing him to look up.
"Hey there kid", said Duke, "You wanna sit?"
Nosedive looked skeptical, and shook his head.
"Yeah this show ain't too hot", said Mallory trying not to make a big deal out of anything, "You want to get something to eat I'm starved. We might have some left over pizza."
Nosedive still remained unconvinced that going with them was a good idea. He had memories of it too many,
~Flashback~
"Nosedive", cried Mrs. Flashblade.
Nosedive approached his mother, "Yes mom?"
"Hey there Nosedive", said Mrs. Flashblade, "Let's get something to eat."
"Okay mom", said a nine-year-old Nosedive. " What are we going to eat?"
"You'll see."
The two of them entered the kitchen, which was a mess.
"Nosedive this mess is your fault!"
"I'm sorry mom."
"Sorry? Well guess what sugar someone has to pick this mess up, and I don't feel like doing it. SO you pick it up!"
"Mom, I was doing that, and then you called me in."
"Oh are you being smart with me Nosedive?"
She pushed her son into the mess, "Eat it!"
"What?"
"Eat this mess!"
"Mom-"
"EAT!"
She then forced her son's head into the pile of food that laid on the floor causing Nosedive to gag. Thankfully WildWing walked in and came to his brother's rescue. WildWing had been fourteen but was already much taller than his mother. He was able to stop his mother's sick rampage on his brother. WildWing later that day received one heck of a beating from his father, after his mother had informed him of what had happened, of course she had exaggerated certain details and lied completely on others.
~Reality~
Nosedive knew that Mallory and Duke were his teammates and would never pull something off like that, but there was that voice in the back of his head nagging him, saying that's what you thought about your mother.
Fortunately Canard walked and kind of guessed what was going on.
"Hey there Dive", said Canard coolly, Nosedive had always responded well to Canard on account of knowing him for so long.
Nosedive looked relieved, and looked up at brother's best friend.
"Canard", said Duke, "We're were going to go to the kitchen, you want to join all of us?"
Now Canard completely understood what had happened, Nosedive had received an invite and was doubtful on whether he should take it up or not.
"Um sure", said Canard, "Dive you coming?"
Nosedive this time nodded. Canard sighed, he wanted Nosedive to talk.
"Don't do this kid", thought Canard, "Not again. Don't do this to yourself. It's not worth it. Stupid father."
After eating Nosedive wandered looking for WildWing, of course no one else knew that, but they kind of had a feeling. They found the brother's later in WildWing's room sleeping.
Nosedive was underneath his older brother's mighty and protective arms. Nosedive seemed satisfied and WildWing seemed better.
"Always there for one another", said Canard, "Always"
"I can imagine", piped in Duke; following him was the rest of the gang, "We can't stop thinking about them either."
"It's always been like this. I mean not them being depressing but WildWing looking out for his brother, no matter what the circumstances. I remember this one time, where we at this party. Now WildWing brought Nosedive wherever he went afraid to leave him at home, and also because he enjoyed his company. Anyway there was this one time we were at this one party, (Nosedive stayed in the basement, it was inappropriate upstairs, he usually played video games or something) some kids gave Nosedive a hard time."
~Memories~
"Hey Stein", said Russell, "Look who we got down here."
An eleven-year-old Nosedive perked his head up immediately. The boys walked down the stairs into the small basement.
"It's Flashblade's baby brother", said Russell, "His little precious brother. I guess he'd be a little upset if we did something to his brother huh?"
"Yeah", said Stein, "And he deserves to get upset, after all he did humiliate us on the ice."
Nosedive looked up once more got off of the couch ready to run.
"So Flashblade you got a name", mocked Russell, "Or is it as pathetic as your brothers?"
"Hey man I don't want any trouble", said Nosedive.
WildWing had taught him what to say in these types of situations and Nosedive always listened. However this time that wasn't going to work.
"Well we want trouble", said Stein, "You're brother has all of the girls, especially the hot ones, and the ones we like. He's the best goalie around, and here's the one I hate the most, he gets good grades and everyone loves him!"
"So what", asked Nosedive, "That's about him, what does that have to do with you?"
"Are you stupid", asked Russell, "You're brother gets our girls, gets better grades than us, beats us on the ice, and has more friends. So we don't like him too much."
"I'm sorry to hear that", said Nosedive.
~Reality~
"That does not sound like Nosedive", commented Mallory.
"Well WildWing told Nosedive what to say and how to act in those types of situations, and Nosedive listened most of the time anyway. Anyway back to my story.
~Memory~
"You're sorry", inquired Stein, "Hey Russell that brat says he's sorry. Guess what? He's got the same good build and looks as his brother."
"Well we're going to give him a face lift", commented Russell.
"You see", said Stein as he corned the child, "We can't WildWing back by fair play. He'd beat us, so we're going to get our revenge. He seems to like you a lot, so guess what? We're going to get you messed up."
The boys corned Nosedive and pushed and pinned him against the wall. Luckily Canard walked in.
"Hey Dive", he said not looking up, "I got you some foo-"
"Nosedive? Stein, Russell, that you?"
The two boys spun around dropping Nosedive. Nosedive quickly ran behind Canard for defense.
"What's going on", cried Canard.
"They were going to beat me up", cried Nosedive, "Because they don't like WildWing, because WildWing is better, you hear me BETTER than you".
~Reality~
"That sounds like Nosedive", said Mallory.
"Well Nosedive didn't' have to play the game anymore, he had his Calvary and was no longer the victim."
~Memory~
"Is this true", questioned Canard.
"Well uh", the boys both stuttered.
"You know", said Canard, "My best friend is WildWing, and WildWing and I hang out. But when WildWing and I hang out, he brings along his kid brother, Nosedive. Now me and Dive are pretty good friends, so I'd beat you up right now. Only I think WildWing will get a better kick out of it. So I think I'm going to call him right now. WILDWING!"
"Canard", said Jimmy from upstairs, "Who are you yelling for?"
"WildWing", said Canard, "Could you get him for me? Tell him its about his brother, and some bullies."
"Sure no problem brother man", replied Jimmy,
Within minutes WildWing ran down the stairs.
"What's going on Canard", he asked.
"These two idiots were givin Nosedive a hard time", said Canard looking at the bullies with a grin, "They wanted to beat him up."
"They tried to too", chimed in Nosedive.
WildWing glared at his opponents. "You're dead", he said.
~Reality~
"So what happened", asked Duke.
"They ended up in the emergency room", snickered Canard.
There was a silence.
"So how long did it take for Nosedive to get his personality back", asked Tanya.
"Aw I dunno", replied Canard, "I mean the kid was jumpy for a while, but mostly hurt, real hurt. So he didn't talk."
"Wait", said Duke, "Is there a reason he's not talking?"
"Yeah", whispered Canard, "He thinks he'll say something wrong and then get hit. That happened a lot. No matter what that poor kid said he got hit, his parents became all smart with him, and no matter what he said he would get pounded."
"So what are we going to do", asked Tanya.
"I haven't the slightest idea", sighed Canard. "Not even a clue."
"Well I do", said Grin, "They're father wronged them many times, but they feel as it if it was their fault. WildWing will blow this off, for he had to have dealt with this many times more than Nosedive. He will understand it better, Nosedive however sees it as his fault and thinks it's his fault that all of this happened. He also thinks that no matter what he says he's wrong, and he's afraid to talk, he's afraid to be the cause of any more situations. Therefore I believe that we should act like Canard, and play it cool until we come up with a plan."
"Unfortunately", said Duke, "You're right. Yeah I can play it cool with the kid, we all can."
"WildWing", said Canard, "What about him?"
"I have a plan", said Grin.
"That didn't take too long", snickered Mallory.
"Canard', said Tanya, "Dragounous might strike any moment now. He planned this out remember? The father I'm sure was more than just a physical threat, he could also have been a distraction, we need our teammates better and we need them better quickly. Grin how do you intend to pull this off?"
"Play it by ear."
"Geez", said Canard, "That will solve all of our problems."
"We can deal with the problems as they occur", said Grin, "Tomorrow we can ask Nosedive to join us at the mall, and we can be our usual bossy selves. That way he won't have a choice. He'll eventually loosen up. The both of them have to deal with their problems, give them time to cope with their issues."
"Look", said Tanya, 'We don't' have much choice, I second what Grin says."
"I admit that Grin's idea doesn't sound too hot, however I also admit that we need to do something, quickly, so we'll go with that. Night all."
"Night", chorused the ducks.
