like making up new names, so sue me. Lol, okay well bye enjoy~
~Ring, Ring~
"Hello", said Mallory, "This is Mallory, who is this?"
"Hey Mal", cried a zealous Nosedive. "Is WildWing there?"
"Yeah hang on."
A few seconds later.
"Dive?"
"HEY WING!"
"Ah not so loud. You seem happy. What's up?"
"I got this awesome assignment for school!"
"You're happy about school, I think I'm going to have a heart attack."
"Ha, ha funny."
"Sorry. So what's the project?"
"It's a report on adult life and stuff."
"Huh?"
"Well you have to work, and live with someone that has a profession you would like to pursue that is in the area. She had a whole list of qualified adults."
"She?"
"My teacher. Anyway I asked her if I could do my project on my brother, but that meant I wouldn't be able to attend school because I would be in the city."
"But she said it would be okay, just as long as I have extra cool stuff, and a great report that will blow her away with fun, and interesting details!"
"Hey that's great! So you're going to live with me?"
"Yeah!"
"Oh my gosh, this is going to be great! For how long?"
"A whole week!!"
"Yes! Oh my gosh Nosedive this is going to be great!"
"When are you coming?"
"Friday! Which is tomorrow! So technically you could kind of come and pick me up now. Please!"
"No argument there, I'll be there in twenty minutes."
"Yes!"
"Bye."
"Bye!"
"Where you going", asked Duke.
"Nosedive is going to stay here for the entire week", exclaimed WildWing happily. "I'm going to go get him."
"Oh no you're not", said Canard, "We've have a meeting to attend to in about twenty minutes remember?"
"Oh yeah", groaned WildWing, "But I promised Dive."
Duke decided to jump on this opportunity to get alone time with Dive for he was certainly not going to get any other way.
"I'll pick him up", offered Duke.
"Thanks Duke", said both WildWing, and Canard in unison.
Duke ran out the door grabbing the keys and headed toward the car.
!~*~*!
"Hey Duke", said Nosedive climbing into the passenger's seat. "Where's Wing?"
"He had a meeting he forgot about. So I'm picking you up instead. That okay?"
"Yeah sure no problem here."
"Good".
Nosedive stared at Duke.
"Something wrong", asked Nosedive.
"Now that you mention it, yes."
"What? Girl problems, I can help there!"
"No nothing like that. It has to deal with you."
"Me?"
"Yeah, kid you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, why?"
"Seriously, are you okay?" Duke put an emphasis on each word.
Nosedive studied his teammate. "Yeah. Duke you're creeping me out."
"And you creped me out when I saw your chest."
Nosedive stopped.
"What are you talking about?"
"Dive I saw you changing the other day. What was all of that? You're not doing that to yourself, are you?"
"No! Duke, NO! How could you possibly even think that! Oh my gosh, NO! Duke ew! NO!"
Duke started laughing at Nosedive's reaction to the question.
"So where'd they come from kid?"
"Fights."
"You?"
"Yeah. I need money a lot so I fight. You know you go in a ring in some alley that some kids put together. If you fight and win you get this money."
"I'm not following."
"Well some kids decided to get a place going for fights. So they got this little alley that leads into an abandoned cul-de-sac. It's small and out of sight. So anyway the admission to watch the fight is ten dollars. Half of the money goes to the fight. That inspires people to fight, anyway whoever wins the fight gets half for the amount of people that entered to watch that particular fight. Plus just for entering you get five bucks."
"Smart kids, whoever thought that up."
"No kidding. They got money all the time."
"So you fight to get money huh?"
"Yeah. Well no. I mean I don't punch I just wrestle with the guy."
"So the cuts would be from?"
"Well just because I fight clean doesn't mean they do. By the way don't you go off telling WildWing this, he'll skin me! I'm trusting you Duke okay?"
Duke looked down.
"DUKE", cried Nosedive.
"I'll make you a deal, if you don't fight anymore than I won't tell your brother."
"But I need the money".
"For what?"
Nosedive looked at the window. Should he tell Duke or not. Nosedive couldn't decided but at the sake of not wanting to her the responsibility speech again.
"Nothing".
"Right my point exactly. Plus you get an income every week for being a hero and all; it's a nice amount of money Dive! I get the same as you do, I mean sure it's nothing to live off of but it sure will help in whatever you need. So no more fights, okay?"
"Okay Duke. Deal. No more fights."
'Where am I going to get my money', thought Nosedive, 'Man I'm going to have to get a job now. Should I ask Duke for the money? Nah I don't want to hear that whole responsibility speech again. Forget it. If only he knew what happened to my paychecks every week, I don't get them but guess who does. Stupid law, wait where am I going to get money for the subway. Well no worries for now, think about this later! '
"Not that this matters or anything", said Duke, "But did you win the fights?"
"Of course I won, have an undefeated title."
Duke was proud, "Use any of my tricks?"
"Are you kidding me? Yeah I use your tricks, all the time! They work great!"
Duke beamed with pride.
"Nice goin kid."
"Thanks."
When the arrived at home, they found only a few ducks there.
"Where is everyone", asked Duke.
"Well", said Grin, "Canard, WildWing, and Mallory are at that meeting. And as for Tanya and Phil, well… Phil was having problems adjusting to his new room. Tanya didn't seem to care much in making his bed bigger, so Phil tried to do it himself resulting on the bed falling on top of him. He got stuck and everything. So she had to bring him to the ER, after we got him out because there was some spring stuck on his hand."
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA", cried Nosedive.
"Aw man I can't believe we missed that", cried Duke.
Nosedive was too busy laughing to complain about missing it.
!~*~!
"Nosedive you have to get up, come on Dive I'm going to be late", complained WildWing.
"Aw WildWing I thought you said you were a boss, or you were in charge or something like that. It's too early! It's still dark out!"
"Nosedive I am, but even I have to get to my job on time regardless. Now come on."
Nosedive moaned but got out of bed.
"Put these on", said WildWing throwing pairs of clothing at his brother.
Nosedive stood there half awake with the clothes hanging off of his head, exactly where WildWing had thrown them.
"Oh forget it", cried WildWing, "I'll dress you myself."
"Huh?"
"Go back to bed Dive", said WildWing, "I'll wake you when we get there."
"Bye bye Wing. Night night."
Nosedive shut his eyes and fell asleep standing up.
The ducks passing by laughed, very much.
WildWing took his brother's shirt off and replaced it with a new one and then a pullover sweatshirt. He slipped his brother's pants off where he found very long boxers and quickly but on his brother's jeans.
He walked over to a drawer and pulled out socks, and then grabbed the shoes on the floor, which he quickly put on.
"You're lucky Nosedive", thought Duke, "You're real lucky that it's so dark out and your brother is in such a rush that he didn't notice those marks all over your chest, your lucky kiddo, real lucky."
Finally Nosedive was dressed, as well as sleeping but dressed nonetheless. WildWing started combing his brother hair, and then made sure his brother's bangs were where he liked them.
"Breakfast is served Wing", said Tanya, "Come on you-, Is he sleeping?"
"Yup."
"Standing up?"
"Yup."
"Not asking."
"Good idea."
"Anyway come on, it's ready, we're leaving in ten."
WildWing decided it best to pick his brother up and then bring him into the living room still sleeping.
"WildWing", said Duke, "What in the world are you doing."
"I dressed him, brushed his hair, but I am not feeding him, if he doesn't wake up than well he'll have to eat something out of the vending machines."
He placed his younger brother onto the couch while he ate. After he was done he scooped his brother up once more and carried him down the stairs.
"Isn't he heavy", asked Canard.
"You do see the height difference between us", said WildWing, "6'5, to 5'3 oh yeah, he's real heavy."
"Ha ha."
Finally Nosedive woke up in the car.
"Heya Wing."
"Hey Dive. Now first today we are going to go introduce to some of my other workers, then we are going to show you the gym for a while. It's really neat. You'll like that. After that we have a meeting, which you can stay in for, but you have to be quiet."
"Very quiet", commented Mallory, "Like no talking!"
"Yeah yeah, go on Wing", said Nosedive.
"Well actually Dive you can either stay with me the entire time or do basically whatever you want as long as you don't get into trouble, okay?"
"Really?"
"Yeah. But you have to promise me you're going to behave."
"Oh yeah sure no problem thanks!"
"Is this a good idea", asked Canard.
"Well he's going to be working here anyway if he wants when he's eighteen", pointed out Duke, "I mean if one of us stay with him the entire time, there shouldn't be a problem."
"I won't be a problem", cried Nosedive, "Please let me do whatever I want!"
"Guys", whispered WildWing, "He just wants approval I highly doubt he will be wandering off, he'll stay with me or one of you guys most of the time, trust me I know my brother."
"If you say so", said Canard.
!~*~!
"Hey guys", said WildWing as the building, he said hi to everyone.
Finally they got to his floor.
"Come on Dive the gym is in here."
Nosedive looked around, "Wow."
"Yeah I told you it was nice", said WildWing, "We don't have ice in here but we do have roller hockey, interested?"
"Yeah", cried Nosedive.
"Hey WildWing", cried Hendrix, "Whose the kid?"
"Hey guys", said WildWing soon everyone in the gym was flocking to see what their captain had brought in, almost everyone except Mantel.
"This is my brother Nosedive. He's going to be coming to work for a week with me. Everyone be nice, I'm serious."
"WildWing", said Mallory, "They need us upstairs for an emergency, Nosedive you have to stay. We'll be right back, Dive behave."
"Yeah yeah", muttered Nosedive.
"I'll be right back Dive", said WildWing.
Nosedive yawned.
"Still tired", asked Hendrix, "We have to get up too early."
"Yup", said Nosedive, "Man it's still dark out."
"Well than you're just going to have to bear with until it gets nice and sunny", said a rude Mantel.
Duke walked over to Mantel. "Listen pal don't mess with that kid."
"Why not?"
"Because his big brother signs your pay check."
"Whatever. But his big brother has done a lot of things-"
"Don't start that again. WildWing deserves to be captain of the special mission team, as do Mallory, and Canard as well as I in helping with the special missions. Tanya deserves to be put as Medical Chief, and I deserve to be working here aiding everyone out. Just because you think you got robbed out of a job doesn't mean you should be taking that out on the kid. Now I'm serious when I tell you to leave that kid alone."
"Whatever Duke, just back off."
"Look I'm telling you as a friend if you want to keep your job you won't mess with that kid."
Mantel shrugged it off and kept working. He decided not to listen to his friend's advice.
~Later in the Day~
"Hey there Nosedive", said Mantel.
"Mantel back off I'm sick of you following me everywhere and criticizing, I'm going to my brother's room now is that okay with you?"
"Hey kid you watch your mouth!"
"Man I'm watchin my mouth! You leave me alone, okay? Dude I didn't do jack to you so leave me alone okay? I'm sure you have work to do."
"Fine you little brat you go to your brother's room, even though he doesn't deserve his own office."
"Hey you leave my brother alone! He's good at what he does…much better than you."
"Hey there guys", said Duke, "Is there a problem here?"
"Just telling the kid about the party tonight."
"Well it didn't seem like that. Nosedive you stay with me, Mantel get back to work…now."
After Mantel was gone Duke walked up Nosedive.
"He giving you a hard time?"
"Kind of. Real annoying."
"I'll talk to him. Listen WildWing should be out of that meeting in about an hour."
"Aw man!"
"You can stay with me until then."
"What's the whole party thing?"
"It's tonight, you want to come?"
"Are you kidding me, of course!"
"Cool it's on the fourth floor. You'll like it; there is going to be dancing, music, and refreshments. It's at the end of the week starts around seven I think. Anyway I'll tell ya when."
"Thanks Duke!"
"No problem Nosedive. Come on I'm going to show some of this place's awesome weapons."
The two of them went off in search of cool things for a report. Nosedive was enjoying himself; Mantel however was not enjoying the teenagers company and plotted to get back at him.
