Author's Note~ Thanks for the advice Orenda, it helped lots!
Nosedive walked into the apartment to find his brother there, along with the other ducks. That was odd, they should be home, they worked these hours.
"Something wrong", asked Nosedive.
WildWing marched over to his brother in fury.
"SOMETHING WRONG, SOMETHING WRONG? HEY GUYS MY BROTHER WANTS TO KNOW WHATS' WRONG!"
"Wing you're freaking me out, take a chill pill or someth-"
"NOSEDIVE", hollered WildWing, "I was just informed of your status on school!"
"Uh-oh", groaned Nosedive, "Wait! Nice try, I know you think that I'm doing no good in school, so you put this little act up, but it didn't work because the school doesn't have this number."
Nosedive brought his hand to his mouth immediately.
"Sit down", yelled WildWing. "And let's start with why the school doesn't have our number, or our address! You little liar!"
Nosedive jumped onto the couch and rolled his eyes.
"Let's talk about today's prank, that was completely uncalled for! No wait let's talk about your thirty detentions!"
"New record", smiled Nosedive.
"NOSEDIVE!"
"Okay okay", said Nosedive finally realizing not to push his brother anymore.
"YOU have detention, and you didn't tell me! YOU HAVE DETENTION! But what may you ask", said WildWing going toward his crowd of ducks finding this somewhat humorous, "Let's see, water balloons, gum in hair, tack in chair, door falling off, dying teachers hair, and-"
"WildWing", said Canard, "We don't want to be here all day."
WildWing shot a glare at Canard but stopped rambling.
"But that isn't enough for my baby brother, no no! My brother has cut every day, some class! Oh and here's my absolute favorite, you haven't even met your science teacher! Or how about the fact you're failing each and every class! NOSEDIVE what do you have to say for yourself?"
Nosedive looked at the floor, "Busted", thought Nosedive.
"Well save it", said WildWing, "Because right now I have an interview with your science, math, literature teachers, principal, and guidance counselor. Thank you."
"Your welcome", chuckled Nosedive.
"NOSEDIVE!"
"Okay all ready", said Nosedive. "I'm done."
WildWing stormed out of the room. WildWing stormed back in the room getting Duke, who was for one reason asked to come along by the school. WildWing stormed out of the room. Canard waited by the door for his friend. WildWing stormed back in the door.
"Missing something", asked Canard holding the keys.
"Give me those", snapped WildWing.
"Ha, I'm driving", said Canard.
"You're coming", cried WildWing.
"Hey", said Canard, "You're making us miss work so yeah I'm coming!"
"Why are they missing work than", asked Nosedive.
"To make sure you don't get in trouble", muttered Mallory.
Nosedive rolled his eyes. "Don't ya trust me Wing?" Nosedive loved annoying his brother.
"NOSEDIVE", screamed WildWing who was being pushed out the door by Canard, "Don't you even talk to me about trus-"
The door slammed shut.
"It's going to be a long night", thought Nosedive.
~Conference~
"Hello", said the principal, "Who are you?"
"I'm WildWing Flashblade we spoke earlier on the phone you asked me to come down."
"Mr. Flashblade", said the principal, "I asked for Nosedive's parents to come here."
"Nosedive lives with me, and is under my custody", said WildWing.
"Oh", exclaimed the teachers giving one another looks of sympathy.
"Please sit down", said the principal. "As I mentioned before your brother is doing horrible. His behavior is atrocious. We were completely unaware that he was living with his brother though! We did know that he was living with an ex-thief."
Duke looked down at the floor but defended himself. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"Well", said one of the teachers, "We believe that Nosedive is picking up some of your tacky habits."
"What", exclaimed Duke, Canard, and WildWing.
"Excuse me", said WildWing, "My brother has done many things, but not because of anyone else's influence! He shall be blamed for what he has done and no one else!"
"Fine", said the principal, "If that the path you wish take than I bid you good luck, but as of now your brother is failing miserably. However under the circumstances of him arriving late into the school, year the teachers will be giving out extra credit, and allowing Nosedive to make up the work he has missed."
"Thank you", said WildWing.
With that said the teachers handed WildWing numerous sheets of paper of missing homework and extra credit.
~Back Home~
WildWing stomped into their house and yelled. "NOSEDIVE!"
Nosedive walked out of his room.
WildWing through the papers at him. "You hold these", he cried. "Nosedive, your teachers are being quite generous and allowing you to make up your missing assignments. All of them. You will do all of them, each and every one of them, do you hear me? However I'm your older brother not your parents, so I'll make you a deal."
The ducks looked up at WildWing not knowing what he planned to say.
"If you get all of this work done, plus extra credit, and no more stunts by the end of the week than you get no punishment, and you and your friends can go on that road trip you were talking about. I'll drive you guys over the break."
Duke spit his water out in bewilderment, and Canard started gagging on his sandwich."
Nosedive looked up at his brother trying to decode his plan. WildWing picked up on what he was doing and spoke once more.
"There's no trick Nosedive", said WildWing, "I'm not your parent, I shouldn't punish you. I'm supposed to be the one that bails you out. So that's what I am dealing. So de we have a deal?"
Nosedive grinned happily! "YES", cried Nosedive putting the papers down and hugging his brother. "YES! I can do that!"
"Good I'm glad. Now go! If they are not done than you get punished for them. You have a lot of work to make up, so get going."
Nosedive hurried and rushed over to his room with his work.
'What a change', thought Nosedive, 'If that was my grandparents, well I'd be in the hospital now, but WildWing, man WildWing is even cooler than I thought! Road Trip here I come!"
~A few hours later~
"WILDWING", screamed Nosedive.
"Not here right now kid", hollered back Duke in the other room, "Need something?"
"YES!"
Duke walked in, "What's wrong?"
"I don't get this science stuff!"
"Well if you met your science teacher maybe it would change", snickered Duke.
"It's not funny!"
"Okay, okay. What you need help with?"
"Everything! I got the reading done, all of it! Projects and everything, and I got Racer to clue me on some of the math I was missing, and then I got Randy's help with the other stuff, and I can't do this!"
Nosedive sulked his head into arms, and started cry in frustration, Duke stifled a laugh.
"It's not funny", snapped Nosedive, "You try doing this!"
"All right, all right", said Duke, "Man you need to calm down. Take a break. Didn't WildWing give you to the end of the week?"
"Yes but-"
"Then take a break, calm down and then come back with a fresh new start okay? And genius remember you are living with a science genius over there. Why don't you go ask Tanya?"
"Oh my gosh that's right! I forgot about her!"
Duke laughed. It was going to work out after all.
Nosedive walked into the apartment to find his brother there, along with the other ducks. That was odd, they should be home, they worked these hours.
