Canard, and Tanya walked into the headquarters to find the four-year-old on top of Grin's shoulders threatening his brother he was going to jump. They also found Mallory and Duke rolling on the floor with laughter.
Canard, and Tanya studied Nosedive. WildWing had changed him into rolled up sweat pants, and a very very large jersey that belonged to Nosedive. The shirt dragged down to the floor, if Nosedive had been standing. But he wasn't he was standing upon Grin.
"I'll jump", cried Nosedive.
"Nosedive please don't jump", acted WildWing. "I can't afford to lose you like this!"
Nosedive giggled, "Well than get me ice cweam!"
"No ice cream Nosedive. It'll make you more hyper."
"Fine than I'm jumping!"
"Nosedive", said WildWing, "Don't jump please don't' jump!"
"Then get me ice cweam!"
"Nosedive it's late out, very late. I'm not going all the way to the store to buy you some ice cream."
Nosedive pouted, "Fine than I'm jumping!"
This time Nosedive jumped, and went flying through the room. WildWing wasn't expecting his brother to leap off of Grin. He just thought he was going to jump off, and WildWing could have caught him. But Nosedive had other plans.
"Nosedive", screamed a worried WildWing, as Nosedive was air-borne.
Luckily when your 7'2 it's easy to get around, and so Grin caught the flying Nosedive.
WildWing looked at his brother. Nosedive started screaming, "Ah the pain", Nosedive said sarcastically, "If only I had a brother that could have stopped this from hapning."
WildWing sighed, "Nosedive don't do that to me!"
"He he", giggled Nosedive, "Did I scare ya?"
"Yes!"
"Good! You should have gotten me ice cweam!"
WildWing rolled his eyes, "Fine first thing in the morning I'll get you ice cream"
"Actually you can't", commented Canard, "We have to travel for our next game remember? We're leaving at four in the morning to beat out the traffic, remember?"
"Oh yeah", groaned WildWing. "Wait what am I supposed to do with Nosedive?"
"Bring him along", said Canard, "I guess Phil will have to watch him when we play."
"I dunno", said a skeptical WildWing, "I don't think Phil can handle Nosedive."
"We'll deal with it later", said an aggravated Canard. "WildWing we need to talk, about our little teammate."
"Oh?"
"Yes", said Tanya, "According to the professors they said that Nosedive's knowledge of life and his surroundings are the same. That means he'll recognize us, and recognize the dire creatures such as Dragounous, he'll remember everything. He knows everything as the old Nosedive, only in a four year olds mind. Something like that, the professor's weren't quite sure. Anyway it should eventually wear off."
"How long", asked Duke.
"About a month", groaned Canard. "A whole month."
"I can get used to that", said Mallory. "I mean think about it, no more crazy cement stunts on me! Besides he's so cute!"
"Well that's one way of looking at it", said Canard, "I guess everyone better make it that way of looking at it because we don't have any options. The press already knows, so I'm sure Phil knows."
"Wonderful", muttered WildWing.
"Ow", cried Nosedive as he tripped over his long jersey.
"Aw do you have a boo-boo", asked WildWing.
"Yes! Fix it!"
"How should I fix it?"
"ICE CWEAM!"
"Oh my gosh", cried WildWing, "You don't ever give up do you?"
"Nopes", replied Nosedive.
"Look", said Tanya, "Here is the plan Canard and I came up with in the car. Tomorrow when we leave, we'll eat all of our meals on the road, and by the time we check in to the apartment it should be around eight. We can then get Nosedive proper clothes, and toys. Until then, everyone just bear with."
Everyone sighed in agreement. "Look it's late", said Canard, "And considering we're getting up early tomorrow, we better get to sleep, okay?"
Everyone agreed. "Come on Nosedive", said WildWing, "I'll put you to bed."
"NO SLEEP".
"Yes sleep, or else no ice cream in the morning."
"You're mean!"
"Thank you."
Nosedive stuck out his tongue affectionately as WildWing chased his brother. Nosedive needed assistance climbing into his bed, once he was in it only took a few minutes for to be scared. His brother had left him in a very large, dark room.
Nosedive started crying, Tanya was the closest and came to him.
"Nosedive what's wrong?"
"It's scawy (scary) in here."
"Aw do you want to sleep with WildWing?"
Nosedive nodded, "Come I'll bring you to him."
Nosedive hopped out of bed happily, his tears had immediately vanished and he was once again smiling.
Tanya knocked on WildWing's door. "Wing", she said, "Your brother wants you."
WildWing opened the door, he was only wearing sweat pants. No shirt.
"What's the matter kiddo", said WildWing.
"You weft (left) me!"
"When?"
"In that scary room! I'm not woing (going) back in there!"
"Okay, Dive", said a smiling WildWing, "You can sleep with me."
Nosedive squealed with delight as WildWing picked him up. Tanya started laughing.
"What's so funny", asked WildWing.
"Well you look like a macho man over there with no shirt, and all of your muscles stickin out and everything. You have that whole tough guy appearance, and then you stick an kid into the picture, and I dunno it's like seeing a biker with a poodle."
WildWing laughed, "Thanks for rescuing my brother. Good night Taunny."
"Night Wing."
"Hey", said Nosedive, "What bouts me?"
"Sorry", said Tanya immediately, "Good night Nosedive."
"Thas betta", said Nosedive chuckling.
Tanya stifled a laugh as she drifted off to sleep.
~*~
"Come on Wing", said Canard, "Time to get up."
"Oh yeah", replied a sleepy WildWing. "Coming."
WildWing went over to his luggage, and then back to Nosedive, debating on what to do.
"What's the hold-up", asked Duke.
"I only have two hands", yawned WildWing, "Either I pick up Nosedive, or I wake him, I don't think I have time for two trips."
"Does your brain stop in the morning", asked Duke. "I'll take your stuff, you get the kid."
Man the term "kid" that Duke had always called Nosedive truly had a different meaning now.
Finally Duke and WildWing, and of course a sleeping Nosedive, entered the migratory. Inside were two sleeping ladies, Canard driving, Phil doing paper work, and Grin meditating.
WildWing took a seat next to Canard. Nosedive was asleep in his arms. "You gonna join the kid in la la land too Wing", joked Canard.
"What?"
"Man you half awake did you get any sleep last night?"
"No", confessed WildWing, "Man this little toddler never runs out of things to say, he kept me up all night!"
'Why don't you go to sleep?"
"I think I'll do that."
~7:00~
Nosedive woke up in his sleeping brother's arms. "Hey little man", said Canard.
"Hiya", yawned Nosedive. "What we doin in the car?"
"We're taking a long trip", said Canard.
"Oh otay. What's the matta with WildWing?"
"He's just tired."
"He looks dead. Can I wake him up?"
"No, that's not a good idea Nosedive. Let him get his rest."
Nosedive pouted. "Fine".
After a few minutes Nosedive announced he was bored.
"Come here Nosedive", said Tanya.
Nosedive without delay hopped of his brother's lap. "Ah", said Nosedive.
"What's the matter", asked Tanya.
"The floor is cold", said Nosedive.
Tanya looked at the floor, it consisted of no carpet, just metal, no wonder he was cold. Nosedive ran over to Tanya, and sat in her lap.
"My feets are cold", said Nosedive. "See!" Nosedive stuck his small foot into Tanya's view.
"Oh I see", said Tanya. "We'll need to get you some shoes."
"That will be so much fun", chimed in Mallory. "It's going to be a blast going clothe shopping for a toddler. It's going to be great! We can get him those cute little shoes, and cute hockey jerseys with his own name on it. By the way Nosedive are you cold, you don't seem to have much on."
It was true, all Nosedive had on was a large jersey that acted as a nightgown, and very long boxers on him.
"My feets are cold", cried Nosedive. He ran over to Mallory, "Look!"
Mallory examined her patient. "Ah I see. They are cold!"
"I'm going to show Duke."
He ran over to Duke. Canard deciding to play a bit, hit the brakes slightly tripping Nosedive. Canard and everyone else laughed, including Nosedive. Again Nosedive tried to reach Duke, but again Canard stepped on the brakes. This continued until a police officer was in sight. Finally Nosedive made his way over to Duke.
"My feets are cold", shrieked Nosedive. "Look!"
Duke looked at the small child, "Oh my gosh they are", he said.
After a while Nosedive got bored of showing everyone his feet. "I'm going to get giant."
"What", chorused the ducks.
"I'm going to get giant. I'll climb on him or something."
"Whose giant", asked Mallory.
"Him", Nosedive said pointing at Grin.
Everyone laughed, Grin opened one of his eyes.
Nosedive ran over and jumped up on his shoulder, "I can see the whole world from ups heres!"
Everyone laughed, finally WildWing woke up.
"Hey sunshine" said Canard, "Feel better?"
"Yeah, thanks, hey where is Nosedive?"
"Relax", said Canard, "He's with everyone else, so far your brother has showed off his feet, climbed on Grin, and the last time I looked he was playing a game which involved him going onto a member's lap. Then another duck would say they wanted Nosedive, something like this:
"I want him", teased Mallory. Nosedive ran over to Mallory and sat in her lap pretending to sleep.
"No I want him", said Duke. So Nosedive ran over to him and sat in his lap pretending to sleep.
The game continued until Nosedive got bored of it.
"So then Wing they all played monkey in the middle, guess who was in the middle-"
"WiyaWing", cried Nosedive, "You awake!"
"Yeah baby bro."
Nosedive went onto his brother's lap, he had his hands on his shoulder and had a very disapproving look.
"Something wrong?"
"You owe me something."
"Oh-no."
"Oh yes!"
"Nosedive don't start that."
"Start what", asked the rest of the ducks.
"I WANT ICE CWEAM"!
"This", said WildWing.
Canard, and Tanya walked into the headquarters to find the four-year-old on top of Grin's shoulders threatening his brother he was going to jump. They also found Mallory and Duke rolling on the floor with laughter.
