story! Thank you once again Orenda! Bye all~
Oh yeah no sports yet, so I have so much free time! I really should be practicing, *rolls eyes*, like that will ever happen. *Starts running from coach*, got to go all bye!!
"Nosedive", sighed Canard, "Come on kid let's go."
"I'm not going!"
"Nosedi-"
"NO!"
Canard sighed not knowing what to do. He was in charge of the teenager, but he didn't know if it was right to force the teenager to his brother's funeral.
"But he's your brother."
"I don't want to see him like that! Now leave me alone!"
"Nosedive, you have to deal with death. Now I know this is hard for you but yo-"
"GET OUT! I can't go! I mean don't you think I want to? Well actually I don't, I wont' be able to stay there and just watch my dead brother! I can't do that without losing it! I mean I can't even do this!"
"Ah Nosedive."
"No! You go to the funeral, he's your best friend!"
"Nosedive I am going to the funeral!"
"Than you better get going!"
"Nosedive, I don't want to go either, but I have too. Like you!"
"NO!"
~
"Should we do something", asked Duke, "I mean maybe we should help Canard out, or the kid out. I don't' know whose right but we have to do something."
"We have to help Canard", replied Grin, "For helping Canard will also help Nosedive whether he realizes it or not."
"True", said Tanya, "But make sure that your plan will work. You have twenty minutes to convince him to go, and to get him changed. You better hurry."
Grin and Duke nodded and headed toward the door.
~
"Nosedive you have to go", shouted Canard.
"Get away from me!"
Grin walked into the room accompanied by Duke. Nosedive was on the verge of tears, but at the point of hysterics. Canard's eyes were red but not filled with tears, his voice however was no longer steady but breaking up.
"Nosedive", said Grin calmly, "You need to attend your brother's funeral."
"NO!"
"I know it's hard", said Grin, "For dealing with death is always something difficult. However it has presented itself to you, and now you must face it. We will help you control yourself at the funeral. But know that its okay to cry."
"I don't want to cry! I don't want to go the funeral! I don't want to deal with death! I don't want my brother to be dead! But I do want you to leave me alone!"
"I'm sorry little friend but that is not an option. Now please change into something appropriate."
"I'm not going!"
"Nosedive you must go, if not for your brother than for yourself."
"I don't want to see him like that", said Nosedive quietly, than his voice rising, "SO I'M NOT GOING!"
"Yes you are", said Grin. "Now wear this."
Grin walked over to Nosedive's dresser and picked out some clothes, "Put these on."
"NO!"
Grin walked over to Nosedive hovering over him causing Nosedive to shrink backwards.
"The pain you must be going through is probably unbelievably immense. However despite life's hardships you are going to face them, and not be defeated."
"Get away from me!"
Grin reached over and pulled the shirt off of Nosedive, and replaced it with a more formal one.
"Stop it", cried Nosedive.
Since Nosedive was only wearing shorts, Grin slipped on his pants.
"You freak", shrieked Nosedive at the top of his lungs, "Get away from me! I'm not going!"
Grin reached for the tie and sat Nosedive down on a bed pinning his legs down with his body weight tying his tie.
"Let go! Get off of ME!"
"Nosedive", said Duke, "It'll be okay, we'll be right there."
"No it won't be okay", screeched Nosedive, "I'm not watching my brother die in front of me!"
"Nosedive", said Canard gently, "He's already died."
"Not to me! Watching that will only confirm it!"
'So that's what's really bothering him', thought Duke as each gave one another glances of pain and worry. "He hasn't accepted his brother's death yet, although the way he has presented himself is truly convincing. He doesn't want to see it though, guess its hard to be in that position.'
"Nosedive", said Grin, "WildWing is dead in body, but not in mind. You will continue to remember him."
"I'm not going!"
"Nosedive please", sighed Canard, "You have to go, for more reasons than I thought."
Grin silenced the others with his hand. After doing so he embraced Nosedive, and pressed the teenager's head into him for refugee.
"You can do this", said Grin after a moments pause, "We will be right there aiding you in your path to recovery of happiness."
Nosedive clutched on to Grin's back and started to cry.
"Don't leave me", he whimpered, "Don't make me go through this alone."
"We would never leave you", said Grin in the same calm voice, "And we will especially not leave you now."
Nosedive nodded and pulled out of Grin. Grin grabbed a hairbrush and quickly went through the teen's hair.
"Let's go", said Grin motioning towards the door.
Nosedive nodded and got up heading toward the door.
~**~*~**~
None of the ducks had said anything on the car ride over, they didn't feel it was right to talk, especially in front of Nosedive and Canard.
Phil did however interrupt the silence when telling them to expect the media-causing Nosedive to become more saddened but said nothing. The others sighed. Did the media have to interfere with everything? Was that fair? Someone was dead here, and they were making a profit off of it.
The ducks were all wearing black, the girls in black skirts and blouses and the men in black suits. Finally after arriving they stepped out of the vehicle.
"Duke", whispered Tanya, "Remember what I said before?"
"Yeah", replied Duke, "About your assumptions?"
"Yeah that. Well I want to try and get some more information, you just cover for me okay?"
"No problem."
"Thanks."
~Funeral~
As predicted the media was there, but for a change being quiet. The reporters were barely noticeable and the camera shots were quick.
Nosedive however was a wreck. At the sight of the grave with his brothers name carved it into it. His legs had caved in, but luckily Grin had expected that and was right there to catch him. Nosedive hadn't cried until half way in when it truly hit that his brother was dead.
He leaned into Grin desperately needing support, which he found. Grin placed an arm of reassurance around his little friend and held him tight. It was a good thing too because a while Nosedive's legs buckled in and were not resuming.
This however caught the media's attention and started taping the hysterical sibling. This only made Nosedive more upset, and caused more problems. Canard had cursed and gotten a hold of Duke as the two headed over to the media getting rid of their shots. Grin placed Nosedive's head into his chest protecting the boy from the recording cameras.
"Come on Nosedive", said Grin, "Let's get you out of here."
Grin was aided by the police as the escorted the upset Nosedive to the car. Grin sat with him, until Mallory, and Canard met up with them. Nosedive sat on Grin's lap laying his head on him, completely dependent on his huge friend. Phil was on the phone with lawyers ready to sue the reporters for the disgrace and disrespect they showed, and Tanya was missing.
"We need to go now", cried Canard, "Where is Tanya?'
'Cover for me', thought Duke, 'I'm supposed to be covering for Tanya!"
"Oh she had to go recollect herself", said Duke, "Needed to be alone right now."
"Oh all right", sighed Canard, "Nosedive you okay?"
"I'm just fine", spat Nosedive, "I'm great and dandy over here."
"Well good", muttered Canard.
'You're the legal guardian', thought Canard, 'He's upset do something! You promised Wing! Heck you promised Nosedive!"
"I'm sorry", said Canard, "Dive you want to check in early for tonight?"
"Yes", shouted Nosedive, "I'm sick of this."
"Yeah kid I know", said Canard, "We all know. It'll be okay though all right? Now we are going to go home, and watch the media get sued for inappropriate behavior, and then you know what we are going to do Dive? We are going to laugh at their expense."
Nosedive nodded but sank his head back into Grin.
"What am I supposed to do", thought Canard, "Well I guess I know what WildWing felt like when I gave him the mask, along with the responsibility of leadership. If Wing can do it, so can I. Man buddy old pal you could have told me though that I was next to get the kid. Couldn't you have given him to Tanya? How am I supposed to raise him and do a good job? Well I'll try but please don't expect miracles, and dear God help me."
