1 Author's Note~ Hey sorry for the delay! The next few stories that I have
got out are just endings that I wanted to get rid of. I'm not sure if
they're any good, but I just wanted to finish them so I can concentrate on
more important stuff.
Mr. and Mrs. Ricksay were sitting in bed when Nosedive walked in, all by himself. That was the first time the child ever approached them without being called.
Mrs. Ricksay elbowed her husband who was reading. He looked up and saw Nosedive.
"Hey there buddy", said Mr. Ricksay, "How you doing? Can I help ya there?"
Nosedive stared at the ground fumbling around.
"Hang on hun", whispered Mrs. Ricksay, "He's going to talk I think, just give him a chance."
Nosedive closed his eyes and talked, "Can you help me"?
The two adults look startled at each other with happy expressions.
"Yes of course", exclaimed Mr. Ricksay.
Nosedive opened his eyes, "Really?"
"Yeah of course! What do you need help with?"
"Math. I don't get some of the problems, and if I fail this next test than my teacher is going to call home and call WildWing, and I don't want her to do that and I just want to make Wing proud and all, like your boys do to you when they bring home good test grades. It would surprise my brother."
The adult's jaws dropped open. This was the same child who hadn't spoke two words in seven months, and was now asking for help, and they didn't even know him that well.
"Sure", said Mrs. Ricksay, "Mr. Ricksay is very good at mathematics. Sweetie why don't you go help him out?"
"Yes of course".
The two headed off.
~WildWing and Canard return to pick up Nosedive~
"Hey Mrs. Ricksay", said WildWing wearily, "How was everything?"
"Yeah", asked Canard, "How did it go?"
"Very well", said Mrs. Ricksay smiling. Her husband approached the two boys, and shook hands.
"Thanks again for watching over my brother", said WildWing. Than in a more quiet voice, "Was he okay?"
"You could say that", said Mr. Ricksay smiling, "But I don't want to ruin the surprise."
"What surprise", asked both boys.
"He'll tell you for himself", than towards the stairs, "Nosedive! They're here!"
Nosedive came running down the stairs and ran straight up to his brother. They embraced each other in a bear hug. WildWing picked up his little brother.
Nosedive started waving a paper in his face.
"What's this", asked WildWing.
"Look, look!"
Canard practically fell over his two feet when Nosedive spoke, and WildWing almost dropped his brother.
"What's wrong", asked Nosedive.
"U-uh nothing", said WildWing, "Nothing at all."
"Look! Look! You're not looking!"
"You're not holding that thing still enough for me to "look". Let me see."
WildWing put his brother down and picked up the paper, which read:
Name: Nosedive Flashblade
Grade: Six
Test Score: 98
Teacher Comments: Dear Nosedive, excellent magnificent, and spectacular improvement. This test score itself is outstanding, but the improvement you made is overwhelming. I am very proud, keep up the brilliant work!
WildWing stood dumbfounded.
"See", cried Nosedive.
WildWing bent down and looked Nosedive straight in the eye.
"No joke?"
"Not a single joke! I did it all by myself! Well I had some help from Mr. Ricksay, but I did it Wing!"
WildWing embraced his little brother quickly. Canard still was startled by the entire thing.
"Well", said WildWing regaining himself, "This calls for celebration. Canard could you take Dive out to the car for me. I'll be right there."
"Sure", said Canard, "Bye sir, and ma'am."
The Ricksay's waved.
"Bye", cried Nosedive.
"Bye!"
Once the two were gone WildWing spoke.
"I don't know what you did, how you did it, or when you did it but I cannot even begin to thank you." Tears soon formed in WildWing's eyes. "This is overwhelming. I can't believe Nosedive is talking, and to boot he got a 98! An A! Mr. Ricksay, Mrs. Ricksay you two must be sent from Heaven, thank you, thank you so very much."
The Ricksay's smiled.
"I think someone is waiting for you Flashblade", said Mr. Ricksay, "He's outside in the car, and I believe he'll be making you live up to your promise on a celebration."
