Nosedive couldn't sleep, "Phil", he whimpered, "Wake up."

"What", groaned Phil.

"Come on I need to talk to you."

"Oh all right. What's the matter."

Phil turned the light on as Nosedive started to talk. "WildWing is my brother right?"

"You woke me up to see if WildWing was your brother?"

"Just answer it."

"Man those drugs must really-"

"PHIL!"

"Yes WildWing is your brother."

"And he'll always love me regardless of what I do right?"

"Yeah pretty much."

"So WildWing can't be mad at me!"

"I wouldn't go that far, but if you are referring to this incident, your brother is not in anyway mad at you."

"He loves me right?"

"A hundred percent."

"Thanks Phil. Look I'm going to go sleep with WildWing now, thanks for everything."

Phil looked down; he liked having the kid with him, and need him. It was like having a child.

"Don't worry", said Nosedive, "I'll be back later."

Phil looked up happily, "Good."

Nosedive stumbled out of the room, and into his brother's. Inside he found the other ducks sleeping in there on sleeping bags as well.

He looked at them suspiciously. Duke was the only one that had awakened.

"Dive?"

"Yeah, what are you guys doing in here?"

"Better question, what are you doing in here?"

"None of your business!"

Duke let it go, Nosedive was still temperamental from the drugs. He watched curiously as Nosedive climbed into his brother's bed.

He pushed his brother aside and made room for himself. He then cuddled up to his brother, and fell asleep. By then WildWing had awakened. He looked down with teary eyes of happiness, as his brother slept.

"I told you not to worry", joked Duke from the floor.

"Everything is going to be okay now", choked out a happy WildWing. "Everything."

*****

Nosedive woke up and found himself in his brother's bed; remembering last night he wondered if WildWing had noticed. Nosedive opened his eyes and looked for his older brother.

"Behind you", said a playful voice; WildWing.

"Hey!"

"Come here", said WildWing, as he embraced his brother tightly.

"I'm sorry Wing".

"Hey that's okay. It's not your fault."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure. Anything."

"Why are they in there", as he pointed to the other ducks.

"Don't ask."

"Too bad, already did."

"Oh come on."

"Wing! PLLLEEEAASSSEE!"

"Fine. They thought I was going to try something. Like come into your room at night. Actually I don't know what they thought, they just announced one day that they were staying in here, "just to make sure everything was all right."

"That's pathetic."

"Yeah I know, thank you."

"Hey it's not my fault!"

"Just kidding. You want breakfast?"

"Ugh, no."

Nosedive had tried to sit up, but his attempt was unsuccessful.

"Man I'm so sick of this."

"I know Dive. I know. You okay?"

It seemed like such a stupid question to ask, but Nosedive took advantage of the opportunity.

"No I'm not. WildWing I'm scared."

WildWing would have took his younger brother and held him, but he knew better than to pick him up with the headache. So instead he laid down next to his brother, put is brother on the side and drew him near.

"Sshh, I'll figure something out."

"What if you can't?"

Nosedive started to cry.

"Hey hey don't cry baby bro. I'm going to fix this. It'll be okay."

"But what if-"

"Sshh. I'm going to go get us some breakfast. Or do you not want anything?"

"Ugh, no."

"How about some toast, I'm sure your stomach can handle that."

"Okay, toast is good."

"Good. I'll be right back."

"Thanks Wing."

"No problem Dive."

"Oh yeah get me some orange juice."

"Don't I always?"

Nosedive snickered and waited for his brother to return. In the mean time the other ducks awoke and observed Nosedive in the room.

"How ya doin kid", asked Duke.

"I'm aight."

"Don't sound like it."

"Who cares", snorted Canard, "Nosedive did WildWing drag you in here? I mean it can't be possible, one of us would have woken up, and then wit-"

"No, I came in by myself. I wanted to."

"Oh okay", said a rather shocked Canard.

"WildWing and I are brothers", said Nosedive, "And brothers aren't' supposed to hold grudges on one another, especially over nothing."

"If you say so, I mean ya your right", said Canard.

WildWing came back in with an ample tray of food.

"I figured you guys would wake up and want food too, was I right", asked WildWing.

"Oh yeah", said Grin sleepily.

The ducks each took a serving from the tray.

"Nosedive", said WildWing as his brother consumed the toast quickly, "Little bits. Don't eat it so fast, you'll get a stomachache."

Nosedive immediately stopped. Tanya then walked in.

"Nosedive", cried Tanya.

"It's okay", said Canard stopping the dazed blonde.

"If you say so", said Tanya with a suspicious eye.

"I didn't kidnap him or anything", cried WildWing.

"Yeah", said Nosedive coming to his brother's defense, "I came in on my own."

"Oh okay", said Tanya, "Look I'm going to the store. I know the stuff we need, but for Nosedive I'm going to get some sodas; they should settle his stomach. So Nosedive have a preference?"

"Um, Coke, and Dr. Pepper please."

"No problem. You guys want anything else in addition to the list you gave me?"

"Yeah", said WildWing, "Get me some of those books and magazines on the line to pay."

"Okay I'm not asking why, so do you have a special preference?"

"No, just whatever."

"Why", asked Canard.

"I don't want to know", cried Tanya, and then departed the room.

"For Nosedive", said WildWing, "He likes to read. Right baby bro?"

"Yup", said Nosedive happy that his brother had thought of such a scheme.

"Thanks".

"No problem. Come on Nosedive you need to get out of these small rooms. I'll set you up on the coach, sound good?"

"No. I don't even want to move. Wing my head hurts, BADLY!"

"Okay point taken, then we'll do stuff in here. As for you three, well you can all leave."

Canard looked at Grin, and Duke, "Okay Wing", he finally said.

!~*~!



WildWing spent the next few days with a violently ill Nosedive in their room. They often had visitors, which gave them a break from the endless Byzantine (yes this is a word, and the spell check said it should be capitalized; whatever) video games. But when they weren't playing video games, they were watching TV or movies. And with the remaining time, WildWing would read the stories and magazines to his little brother. Both brothers enjoyed reading the tales intensely for they were entertaining and deep.

WildWing had to be on the look-out for drug related stories, he had a feeling it wouldn't be a good idea to read those to his brother.

However, when the brother's were enjoying one another Nosedive was sick to his stomach. Tanya seemed worried.

~11:30~

Nosedive was huddled over the toilet, and was throwing up. Nosedive was scared to death of the sometimes violent and always repulsive act of vomiting. So in result it aided his minor shivers to becoming much larger and enhanced shivers.

"WildWing", said Tanya as she found both brothers in the bathroom. "Can I talk to you?"

"This isn't really a good time", said a very annoyed WildWing.

"I mean over here, now!"

WildWing was stunned at Tanya's voice. "Um okay."

"Wing", cried Nosedive in disbelief as WildWing left his side. "Don't leave me!"

This increased Nosedive's shivers and nausea.

"Tanya", said WildWing, "This better be good."

"Don't talk to me like that! You know I wouldn't prevent you from aiding your brother in his time of need! Now listen to me, you have to tell Nosedive to calm down. He's making himself sick."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the more he shakes and shivers, and the more he has a grotesque feeling, the more throwing up he'll get as an effect. Understand?"

"Yeah. Thanks, and I'm sorry."

"No problem. Now tend to your brother."

WildWing immediately rushed to his brother's side who was now crying.

"Man", thought Tanya, "Nosedive really is scared of this."

"Nosedive", said WildWing as he hugged his brother on his side. "Easy honey, take it easy."

"WildWing", cried Nosedive who was almost to the point of sobbing, "I despise this with utmost hatred!"

"Ooh big words", coaxed WildWing trying to bring humor to the situation.

"WildWing!"

"I'm sorry. Baby bro listen to me. You're making yourself nervous, you're making yourself throw up. Now listen to me, calm down, and everything will be all right."

"I can't!"

"Yes you can, you just have to calm dow-"

"I CAN'T! WildWing help me!"

The blonde teenager was now sobbing with tears. WildWing clutched his brother and started whispering soothing words. Nosedive stopped his puking.

This brought more ducks into the bathroom, actually all of them including Phil.

"What's the matter with the kid", asked Duke.

"He's has this thing with vomiting", said Tanya, "He petrified of it. I have a feeling though that it might have to do with Prot making him throw up. You know flashbacks, memories and what not."

The ducks looked to the ground. They were not used to seeing Nosedive crying hysterically, or brutally ill.

WildWing had ceased Nosedive's atrocious nightmare, and held his brother close. The other ducks just stared as if waiting for something.

"Dive", said WildWing pulling his brother so they were eye to eye, "Listen I'm going to get you some water, than you're going to take a bath. After that you and I are going to watch a movie that I'm going to go rent, that new one you wanted. I'll buy some Coke, and crackers. Your stomach can handle that.

As for you, well you are going as I said take a bath and brush your teeth. I'll do your hair so don't even bother trying to dry it. I might not be back when you get out, so I want you to take a short nap, I promise I'll wake you up to see the movie. But as of now, you are going to calm down and relax. I'm going to take care of you, starting with your emotions. Dive I know you don't like being sick, and I can't blame you, but listen fighting this through is the best way to defeat it.

You're going to do fine, and stop this illness. The drugs are doing this to you, those cravings. Now listen you are stronger than that, and you are going to continue fighting because you are my brother, and I have faith in you. I trust you "with utmost confidence". Okay?"

"Ooh big words", replied Nosedive. "Okay I can chill for a while. Just hurry aight?"

"No problem baby brother, no problem."

!~*~!

Tanya looked at Nosedive and had a brief moment of pity for him. He was only half dressed, with his pants on, and was obviously not wanting to change into his shirts. His fever was gone, and he looked a lot better.

"Hey there Nosedive".

"Hey."

"What's the matter with your shirt selection?"

"They're all dirty."

"Oh, why don't you wear one of WildWings?"

"I will, just deciding which one he hates the most. That way no matter what I do to it, it won't matter. I don't think he likes this one, oh what the hey I'm wearing it anyway."

"That's very thoughtful of you."

She watched at Nosedive's sopping wet hair started to douse his shirt.

"Nosedive I don't care what WildWing said, but you're not leaving your hair like that. You'll get sick."

"Already sick."

"Fine you'll get more sick."

"Aw come on Taun. I don't even have the energy."

"Than I'll do it for you."

So when WildWing returned with the goodies he found Tanya brushing his brother's hair.

"Nice shirt", said WildWing.

"So Ms. Mom you want to stay with us", asked Nosedive ignoring his brother.

"Stop callin me that", said Tanya. "And no it's okay WildWing can take over from here."

"No Tanya it's okay", said WildWing, "You can stay if ya want."

"Really? Thanks. Sure I'll stay."

Nosedive slapped his head.

"What's the matter", asked both ducks.

"I promised Phil something, I would hang out with him and stuff. You know he's pretty cool. PHIL!"

"Ah my ears", cried Tanya.

WildWing shrugged, "I've had that happen to me so many times I'm surprised I'm not deaf."

Phil came running into the room, "Yeah Dive what's the matter?"

"You promised me time with ya, so come and join the party."

"Really?"

Nosedive nodded, so the three ducks, and Phil watched the movie together.

Nosedive was so close to being his normal self again, but why does life never allow that to happen?
