Author's Note- Thanks so much to DivesAngel for being very supportive and writing very inspiring things towards me in her reviews.



"Dive", said Randy, "You wakin up man?"

"Yeah, aw my head." Nosedive blinked twice and remembered the car accident.

"Ah Randy I'm so sorry."

"Hey man I didn't cut up or nothing. Actually it wasn't your entire fault, besides that you were drunk a guy cut us off. Your vision being impaired meant that he came off at a different angle causing you to swerve and hit."

"So basically it was my fault."

"Not really. But kind of."

"You get cut up bad?"

"If I was cut up bad like you, I would be the one in a bed. No I'm fine, I didn't even get a scratch. You however almost bled to death, man I have never seen that much blood. So you got stitches on your side, and a broken wrist."

"Joy. So you tell Johnson, or Racer."

"Oh yeah. They're here in the hospital, but you know Johnson can't sit still. And you know plenty well Racer can't stay in one spot with out food. So the two of them went off looking for a vending machine."

"Ah man!"

"What's wrong?"

"My grandparents are going to kill me! I wasn't even supposed to leave my room! I'm sure they have realized I'm not in there now! Plus my brother is going to be worried beyond all belief!"

"Well…"

"What well?"

"Well your brother has already been informed, left a message on his machine. The hospital called your grandparents they should be here shortly."

"NO."

"Huh?"

"I'm not dealing with them! I said no!"

"Dive what are you talking about?"

"NO!"

"No what?"

"Don't let them in here! I don't want to get yelled at! I made a mistake and I'm sorry I really am! Man I'm going to kill Randle the next time I see him! I don't want to see my grandparents! NO NO NO!"

By than a nurse walked after hearing all of the commotion that was going on.

"Is everything all right in here", she asked.

"No!"

"Dive please. Yes Ms. Everything is fine", said Randy.

"Oh that's good By the way you have visitors Nosedive, just arrived."

"Who?"

"Brother and some friends."

"You called my brother?"

"I told you I called your brother!"

"But I wasn't listening!"

"No really?"

"Man he's going to kill me so there won't be anything left for my grandparents."

"I thought you liked your brother."

"I do. But geez I'll never hear the end of it from him."

WildWing stormed along with Duke, Canard, and Mallory. Mallory and Canard were partner so they practically did everything together, so when Wing asked for a lift, Canard and Mallory used their car and stopped their run after calling in.

"WildWing", said Canard, "Don't say anything that you'll regret. You don't want to h-"

"Shut it Canard", snapped WildWing.

"Well now it's a lost cause", sighed Canard.

WildWing ran over to his brother and gave him a huge hug.

"Are you nuts", cried WildWing to his brother. "No your beyond nuts, you unbelievable mental moron!"

'He's making fun of me', thought Nosedive, 'Not my own brother! He's acting like my grandparents!'

"Stop it", cried Nosedive, "Don't make fun of me!"

"What?"

"Just stop!"

"Look it was wrong okay, I know!"

"Dive drinking and driving is complete stupidity", cried WildWing, "But let's start here, when did you start drinking??? Nosedive you're not allowed to drink! What are you an alcoholic now?"

"WildWIng", cried Nosedive, "Do you hear yourself? No I'm not addicted to it, I didn't even want it. But I had a rough night and this kid wouldn't leave us alone unless we bought this drink. So I bought it, and then I was like wait a minute I lost all of that money, so I might as well drink it. Which I did. Sorry!"

"Nosedive", said WildWing, "I'm glad to hear that's the story. But Nosedive please!"

Then his grandfather walked in.

Only Duke noticed Nosedive's expression turn white. It was ghostly. WildWing was glad that his brother was okay so he didn't notice it, and Mallory and Canard weren't really paying attention. But Duke got it, he got all of it.

'What is that', thought Duke, 'Fear?'

"NOSEDIVE", cried his grandfather, "Boy you are going to get the biggest beating! First the call home, than the sneaking out, than the drinking, and then the accident! Nosedive, are you so stupid you don't realize what you are doing? How stupid can you be? Wait everyone; my grandson can be so stupid that he belongs in a circus as a clown! Get up and let's go, now!"

Nosedive looked up and got out of the bed.

"The nurse said you could leave", asked Randy who now realized why Nosedive was upset and where his marks on his hand came from.

"Yes you little brat", cried his grandfather.

"Don't talk to him like that", shouted Nosedive.

His grandfather hit him.

"Ah."

"You better listen up Nosedive", cried his grandfather, "Do you know how much it is going to cost to fix this? Do you have any idea? I can't believe you! Well this is all coming out of your money! You know I wish that you were more like regular smart and common sensed teenagers. But no you have to add excess burden on the entire world as I know it. You really have ruined the rest of my life."

"Glad to know you that love me", said Nosedive.

His grandfather went to hit him, but Nosedive got out of his grandfather's path.

"No! You know most people would make sure I'm okay and start hugging me! Then they would yell! But you have-"

"Nosedive", shouted WildWing, "That is enough! Don't you talk to your grandfather like that"!

Nosedive stood in shock, he couldn't believe it. Not his own brother!

His grandfather was in shock as well. "Well thank you WildWing."

"Sir", said WildWing, "Can I deal with Nosedive over the weekend and then send him back to you?"

"Hmm", said his grandfather, "Well, okay. I don't see why not. Maybe you can actually get something into that thick skull of his, I don't like having to get up from the sofa to run errands like this. He's yours."

"Thank you."

His grandfather nodded and left the room.

"Randy, you and your friends", said WildWing in a low voice, "We will give you a ride home. And Nosedive will be paying for the damages on the car. Mallory, Canard, and Duke could you give them the ride? I'm going to take the subway with Dive."

"I'm sorry", screamed Nosedive, "Don't be mad at me! But how could you side with him, I mean I'm wrong and all but he is so disa-"

"Sshh", said WildWing, "I would never not side with you. I just did that to get rid of him. I figured he would take you back and I wouldn't get to see my brother until next weekend. You're not the only prankster in the house you know."

Nosedive stood there astonished and hugged his brother.

"Guys", said WildWing, "Go give them a ride."

"Okay", said Canard.

The ducks got up and left the room.

!~*~!

It was late when the brother's walked in. WildWing through the course of the night, had both lectured Nosedive on the dangers of drinking, and punished him. He was not allowed to drive any sort of vehicle for a month while at their house, since he was drinking and driving and he was not allowed to drink anything but water since he liked "drinking" so much. However they also had talked about all of the neat things that they were going to do over the course of the weekend.

Finally they arrived home.

"Hey there guys", said Canard who had waited up for them.

"Hey", said both brothers in unison finishing off ice cream cones.

"Got a bit hungry did we", asked Canard.

"Yup", said WildWing, "But not we a bit sleepy so we going to bed, bye."

"Wait I'm coming with you", said Canard as they walked into their room. Canard and WildWing shared a room as did Nosedive on the weekends. There wasn't a spare bed for him though; he just slept with his brother in his bed.

Nosedive collapsed onto the bed.

"Move over short stuff", said WildWing.

"Noo", groaned Nosedive, "I'm too tired."

"Fine I'll pick you up", said WildWing.

So WildWing picked his brother and scooted him over. It was going to be okay.

The weekend that Nosedive spent with his brother was great. He really enjoyed it, except the end.
