This Chapter is inspired by Madam-RedRose25's "What About Him" Angry Beavers fanfiction. This is not meant to plagiarize off of her work, nor is this meant to plagiarize off anybody else's work. This is my own spin on the story in my Angry Beavers:ReSpooted Universe since the actual plot of Mitch Schauer's pitch of Angry Beavers:ReSpooted had similarities to her story like Norbert and Daggett being neighbors on the same pond . This chapter is only meant to be regarded as simple fanfiction that just so happens to have similarities to a previous work made by another person. No plagiarism was ever intended during the writing of this story.
After Norbert realizes that he has to tell Daggett about everything, he sprints back to the dam twirling happily. He then shuts the door and plops down on the couch happily sighing contently, which is when Daggett comes in.
"So how'd it turn out this time? Bad?"
"Oh on contraire mon frère, the exact opposite happened. I finally got engaged to Treeflower!" Norbert proclaims cheerfully.
"Oh Norb,that's wonderful news! I knew you would come around! You know what this means, Norb-Bro?"
"Oh you bet I know, ready-o, Daggy-O!" Norbert declares as he turns on the large stereo system inside their house while dance music plays.
"Let's party!"
Norbert and Daggett then start dancing to the music, celebrating the big and important moment that has just happened in Norbert's life. As they're dancing and cheering, Daggett asks a question that will completely change the vibe.
"So when's she moving in?" Daggett asked happily "There's so much planning that has to be done!"
Norbert stops dancing and turns off the music.
"Excuse me,what?"
"Well you know since you and Treeflower are getting married and are gonna be together, I wanted to know when Treeflower would be moving in with us. I just know her hippie vibes are gonna make this place more of a ginchy, boss, groovy, righteous dam than any other beaver could ever have! She likes horror movies doesn't she? We can all binge watch horror movies together and eat jalapenòs together!"
Norbert was so confused at what his brother was saying. Norbert was going to tell him about what Daggett just said when Norbert checks at the Yahoo clock and its getting late.
"About that Dag,but uh…" ,Norbert added as he yawned "It's getting really late. We'll talk more about it in the morning okay?"
"Okay", said Daggett as he let out a yawn as he and Norbert head upstairs to their room
The next day,Norbert and Daggett were having breakfast having Oak Meal as Norbert prepared himself to talk to Daggett about "Treeflower moving in"
"Hey um,Daggett?" Norbert asked
"Yes Norb?" Daggett replied as he ate the Oak Meal
"About Treeflower…moving in… Um I hate to tell you this but,once me and Treeflower get married… I'm moving out.."
Daggett was confused at first,scratching his head at what Norbert just said
"I want to build a new dam with Treeflower and start a family,just like how mom and dad did when they got together."
Daggett still didn't get the memo,still confused
"This means I won't be living here for much longer." Norbert says slightly annoyed now
Daggett's eyes began to widen, then Daggett's mood began to change suddenly.
"If that's how it is,fine…"
He stops eating and puts the bowl and spoon away and pushes his seat and walks away from the kitchen very upset with his brother
"
Norbert gets up from his kitchen seat and walks over to Daggett to try and talk to him
"Dag,wait!" Norbert shouted
Daggett was having none of it. He knew that after the wedding Norbert doesn't want nothing to do with him anymore.
"Don't…" Daggett sadly responded "Don't talk to me right now…"
Daggett sniffled as he slowly walks back upstairs to his room sadly. Norbert feels bad for what he said but it was the truth but he knew himself that Norbert still cared for his younger brother. He then walks over to the couch and sits on it as he thinks about the situation at hand. He remembered when he and Daggett first built their dam together. They both had very good memories of their misadventures in and out of their dam. Norbert sighs as he grabs a cell phone,similar to an IPhone and facetime his mom. He,Daggett and his mom and dad have gotten used to modern technology so why not use it instead of his old moose phone. Norbert pushes the Mom contact button as his mother,Rose, immediately answers his son's call.
"Oh why hello Norbert dear! How are you?" Rose asked his son happily
Norbert then tells his mom about he and Treeflower's proposal which his mom was very happy about
"Oh Norbert,I'm so happy for you!" Rose said excitedly "There's so much that needs to be done! I have to tell your father and-"
Rose's words got cut off before she could finish as Norbert tells his mom about his predicament.
"Mom,wait! You see,there's a bit of a problem about all of this." Norbert replied
"What do you mean?" Rose asked
"Well, I told Dag that I was going to be moving out soon with my future wife and building our own dam and starting our own family like how you and dad were when you two got together,and now, Daggett hates me. I was wondering if Dag can come back to your place as soon as Treeflower and I build our own dam and get married?"
Rose nodded in disagreement,"No way Norbert dear. We still got Stacy and Chelsea to take care of and plus,Daggett is a grown adult"
"But mom, you don't understand. Daggett simply cannot live on his own,let alone taking care of himself." Norbert tries explaining to his mother.
"I do understand. Your brother has always been more of a challenge to take care of and he needs somebody else to supervise him. And since you're the more responsible one and you have everything together, that's your responsibility."
Norbert, now more upset than he already was, says goodbye to her and then hangs up. Norbert sighs as he facepalms his head. He knew he had to talk to Treeflower about this problem.
Norbert then heads to Treeflower's dam and rings her doorbell as it plays it's usual tune. Just then, Treeflower answers the door.
"Hi, Norby! How's my new fiancee doing?" She asks lovingly while kissing his face.
"Hey, Treeflower. Listen, I need to talk to you about something."
"About what Norby? What's going on?" Treeflower asked in a concerned voice "Tell you what,you come inside and I'll make my special tea for the two of us while we discuss what's troubling you."
"That would be great Tree." Norbert said as he sighed as he went inside Treeflower's dam
Treeflower was in the kitchen preparing her special tea for the two of them as she walked out of the kitchen with two teacups with her special tea inside of them.
"So, what seems to be the problem Norby?" Treeflower asked as she gave Norbert the tea and she sits down as she sips some of hers.
"Well I told Dag that I was planning on building a dam with you and moving in with you and he got upset and doesn't want to talk to me anymore. I tried calling our mom to ask if he could live with our parents but they said no and now I don't know what to do." Norbert says as he drinks his tea.
"Oh well that's very romantic and sweet that you would build a dream dam for us but, you and I both know that Daggett wouldn't have a very easy time adjusting to living on his own." Treeflower informs him while sipping her tea.
"That's exactly what I told my mom when I called her and she said she and my dad are too busy taking care of our little sisters plus he's an adult and can't even take care of himself. I'm just so stressed right now and I have no idea what to do." Norbert sighs as he vents to her as he finishes his tea.
"Oh Norby. Everything will be okay." Treeflower consoles him while hugging him, knowing how much he loves it.
"You sure?"
"I'm positive. I'll help you out with everything and I'll make sure we get this moving situation with Daggett all cleared up so we can move on with our wedding plans" Treeflower tells him in a cheerful sounding voice.
Norbert, now feeling much better than before, hugs her and says, "I love you so much Tree."
"I love you so much too, Norby. That's what fiancees are for." Treeflower tells him before she kisses his cheek.
"Thanks Tree,for everything. The sooner we sort out this moving situation,the sooner we can plan our wedding." Norbert said
Norbert and Treeflower then head out of Treeflower's dam and start walking back to Norbert's dam to try to clear things up with Daggett. When Norbert opens the door, Daggett then sees him and turns his head away from his brother, not wanting to talk to him.
"What do you want?" Daggett asks sadly to his brother.
"Listen, Dag. Me and Norbert wanted to tell you that we will always be here for you even though he won't live here with you anymore. We both care about you very much and we will always be right by your side." Treeflower consoled Daggett while holding Norbert's hand to comfort him.
"Treeflower's right Dag. I'll always help you out whenever you need it."
"Oh yeah? If you were really here for me you wouldn't be leaving at all. Stop lying. I know you don't care about me." Daggett laments to Norbert as he continued "This was going to be our home Norby,our ONLY home! Tell me,why can't you stay here and Treeflower move in,huh? We could build another room just for you two and build even more room when you start to have kids of your own. Please don't leave me Norb…" Daggett finished as he started to sob and his knees were on the floor.
In that moment,seeing Daggett burst into tears made Norbert and Treeflower feel a bit helpless. Just then Treeflower got an idea and walked over to Daggett and gave him a hug.
"Dag,everything is going to be okay. You know what,I have an idea. How about Norbert can teach you how to do chores around the dam and learn how to take care of yourself so you can adjust much easier" Treeflower reassured Daggett as Norbert then walked over to him
"Treeflower's right Dag,I'll help you with everyday tasks around the dam and I'll help you learn how to take care of yourself so you'll be ready enough to live on your own ,you cool with that Dag?"
Daggett continued to look at Norbert for several moments till Daggett felt a bit better and wiped away his tears with his arm.
"O-okay Norbert. I'll try my very best. I mean,what's the worst that can happen?", Daggett accepts as he starts to cheer up a bit
Over the course of the next few days,Norbert tried many ways to teach Daggett how to take care of himself by retwigging the dam,cooking himself dinner,washing the dishes,taking out the trash and doing laundry but all of those attempts fall flat on their faces. Norbert and Daggett are starting to lose hope at this point as both beavers sat on their couch both unsure what to do now.
"This is pointless Norb,I'll never be able to be responsible for myself and you'll leave me all alone!", Daggett sighed
"Don't you worry Dag,I'm not going anywhere just yet. We just,need more time"
"Time? There is no time! Your wedding is coming up and I still haven't learned nothing! Let's face it,you and Treeflower will have your wedding and leave me all alone with this big ol dam and this big ol pond,big enough for 2 more homes! And i'm gonna be surrounded by all the emptiness!" Daggett laments to Norbert
Just then,Norbert raised his eyebrow in thought. "Big ol' pond..Daggett that's it!" Norbert yelled excitedly
"Huh,what's it?" Daggett asked in confusing
"Daggett,you just figured out the solution to all our problems!"
"I-I did?", Daggett tilted his head a bit still in confusion
"Of course you did Daggy Ding Dong, you said it yourself. You see,we live in a big pond don't we?"
"Um,yeah?" Daggett shrugged
"Big enough for 2 more homes,you remember saying that yes?"
Daggett was in thought again," Oh…Ooooooh,oh yeah I do remember saying that now Norb!"
"Well I was thinking me and Treeflower can build a dam,right next door,on the same pond so we can each other more often so we won't ever have to be apart! So what do you think of that Dag?"
"Oooooh,I like the sound of that!", Daggett said happily
"We'd be able to have our own place but we,especially moy will be right there whenever you need us. You won't have to fear of being home alone even if were a teensy wincy swim away."
"Really?" Daggett smiled
"Of course Dag,our pad will always be open for you to swim on by"
Daggett smiled at the thought of this idea," So we would be neighbors right? And you'll be nearby?"
"Mmmhm" Norbert nodded
"So this moving situation has been solved,right Norb?"
"Mmmhm,It sure has Dag." Norbert murmured,"So what do you say? Neighbours? He nudged him with his arm
Daggett had a big smile on his face now and held his hand,"Neighbors,brother."
Norbert then shook on it,"Great,now let's get to work!"
"Hey Norb?" Daggett said as he got off of the couch
"Yes Dag?"
"Beavers don't really have neighbors do they? We'd be u-u uuuuh"
"Unique?"
"Yeah,we would be unique!"
"As long as the both of us get what we want,I-having my own space to have a famulay but being nearby and you getting to come visit Treeflower and I anytime you'd like without being in fear of being alone,that's all that matwas."
" ,since you're being oh so kind about everything,I'll do whatever you want me to do Norb" Daggett smiled as he stood in front of his brother
Norbert then bit his lip,"Now that you mention it,there's something I've been meaning to ask you for quite some time"
"Ask away Norbert!" Daggett beamed
Norbert looked a bit embarrassed. He moved his foot around and scratched his neck.
"Well you see Dag,I've known you for all my life. We've had many misadventures together. Sure we fought sometimes but we still are always there for each other and we're family,so I was kind of hoping you wanna be…my best man."
Daggett's eyes grew wide,"You-you want me to be..your,best man?"
"Of course Dag,we've been through so much together and I would've not done anything we did without you. You're the best man I've ever known."
Daggett bursted into tears and gave him a hug,"Oh Norbert! You want me to be your best man! My brother and partner in crime is finally growing up!"
"That I am Dag,that I am."
Norbert then went over to Treeflower's dam to tell her the good news
"So you see,this is the perfect plan for all of us!" Norbert beamed
"Oh Norby,this is the perfect plan! I knew you two could do it!" Treeflower said happily as she had her arms around him twirling him around the living room.
"Now we can start building our dream dam and then plan our wedding!" Norbert smiled.
Everyone that Norbert knew pitched in to help build he and Treeflower's future home near he and Daggett's dam and everybody was proud of both him and Treeflower, since they both did Daggett a huge favor by doing everything they've been to try to help him. The dam was all finished within the end of the day and it turned out wonderfully.
"Home sweet home Tree." Norbert sighed contently as he and Treeflower looked at their beautiful newly built dam.
"It sure is, Norby. You know you really did a great job building our new home. It looks amazing!" Treeflower exclaims cheerfully while hugging Norbert.
Norbert and Treeflower then enter their new dam and look around at how nice the inside looks. They both then sat down on their new couch and cuddle up next to each other lovingly.
"Wedding,here we come",Norbert sighed contently, excited for their future to come.
