A/N: Thank you to everyone who reviewed! Wow I got some really funny
reviews on how their family acted very much like the ones in my story. I
even got a few e-mails saying how much their family was like the
Flashblades. Well mine is too, in fact that's why I wrote this story up. My
friends found my family quite amusing, (I found it quite frustrating) so I
decided to see if everyone else would too.
Oh yeah I have re-done the first chapter. I was reading over my story and I saw all of the kids call their mom, "Mrs. Flashblade". What happened was, when I first wrote this, I had "Mrs. Flashblade", addressed by "mom", but then changed my mind, so when I hit find and replace it did it for all of them. Oops! Well sorry!
Canard and the team knocked on Nosedive's door. They received a "come in", and so they did.
They found the brothers stuffing themselves with the banquet of food spread out for them on the clean floor. They were also watching sitcoms on T.V. They made no acknowledgement of the team entering. They just kept eating, and eating some more.
"You guys okay", asked Duke.
"Ye-ah", said Nosedive in between bites.
"Da-ndy", replied WildWing.
"Yeah okay", said Tanya, "You guys are going to choke if you keep eating that fast."
"S - o", asked Nosedive.
"So you'll die", said Tanya, "Cause I can't perform the Heimlich maneuver on both of you at the same time. One of you will be dead."
"Don't.worry", said WildWing.
"We're. not.that lucky", finished Nosedive.
"Hey", said Canard, "You're not going with out me! Give me some of that."
Grin rolled his eyes, "You are pitiful."
"And to make today even more pathetic", said WildWing no longer eating, "Grin decides to speak normal to boot."
"You're mother is crazy", said Mallory.
"You noticed", said Nosedive who had also stopped eating.
Right then JoyRide walked in.
"Oh no", groaned WildWing.
"WILDWING", screamed JoyRide, "I hate you! How dare you do that to me? Do you have any idea how much this costs?"
Then BonusBeak walked in.
"Oh crap", muttered Nosedive.
"Dive", bellowed BonusBeak, "YOU'RE DEAD!"
JoyRide began to lecture WildWing and point a finger at him, as Bones chased Nosedive around the room and then into the hallway. Duke and Grin went after the chase, as the rest of the group tried to calm Joy.
However the chase had soon stopped as Mrs. Flashblade, and Mr. Flashblade walked into the hallway. The two sons, as well as Duke and Grin turned around back into the room.
"You are out of control", continued JoyRide, "I cannot believe that you would do such a thing. What kind of person are you that you would go after your own sister? Such an assault!"
"Everyone sit down", said Mrs. Flashblade.
Mr. Flashblade laid down on his son's bed.
"But mom", whined JoyRide.
"That bickering isn't going to get you a man darling", said Mrs. Flashblade.
JoyRide cursed but sat down.
"I picked up the dinner", said Mrs. Flashblade, "I find it sad that my own flesh and blood left me to do all the work."
"Mom", said Nosedive, "I would have done that."
"Don't try and play this game with me", said Mrs. Flashblade at the same tone of voice, "I know what you did. You ran off to leave your poor innocent mother to clean up that monstrosity."
"Yeah speaking of which", said Nosedive, "How did you possibly finish cleaning all of that already?"
"You have half of my dinner in this room right now", replied Mrs. Flashblade, "I am very disappointed that this is how my family acts. I am truly offended." "We're sorry", groaned the four children.
"I don't think an apology will get you out of this, this time. I mean look what you did to your father, look how hurt he is, look how much he cares for this subject!"
"Mom", said JoyRide, "He's sleeping! He could care less."
"Yes well that's not the point", said Mrs. Flashblade, "Now I want everyone to say they're sorry."
"But we already did", groaned Bones.
"That doesn't sound like sorry", said Mrs. Flashblade.
"We're sorry", said the children in unison.
"Much better", said Mrs. Flashblade who very much delighted, "Now what are we going to do this evening?"
"Oh no", muttered Nosedive.
"Um mom", said WildWing, "We're kind of busy and um tired, and we uh-"
"Wonderful", said Mrs. Flashblade happily, "We can tour everywhere, and you can show me your little home."
"NO", whined Nosedive.
"Now let's start with", said Mrs. Flashblade
"Actually ma'am", said Duke, "We have a game tomorrow, so you're invited to come to that, but we need to get our rest."
"NO", shouted all of the Flashblade children and Canard.
"A game", cried Mrs. Flashblade, "What fun!"
"NO", said WildWing.
"We'll all go", said Mrs. Flashblade.
"No", said Nosedive.
"And we'll see you all play", continued Mrs. Flashblade.
"No", said Canard.
"Bones and Joy we'll have a lot of fun watching them", continued Mrs. Flashblade.
"No", said Bones.
"Oh and I'm sure that the rink will be cold so I'll sow you a beautiful scarf, no sweater."
"No", said JoyRide.
"And we can all sit together, with the rest of your team", said Mrs. Flashblade.
"NO", shouted the whole team.
"I can't wait", said Mrs. Flashblade, "See you all tomorrow!"
With that said she walked over to her husband, awoke him and then left towards their bedroom.
"DUKE", shouted Canard.
"I didn't know she was going to sit with us", cried Duke.
"Wait guys", said Tanya, "We'll be playing, only one person will have to be with them. How bad can that be?"
"Are you kidding me", cried WildWing, "Are you insane?"
"This is our family we're talking about here", said Nosedive.
"The family from hell", cried Canard. "You don't what these people are like!"
"Hey", said the four Flashblade children.
"Look guys", said Tanya, "Obviously there is nothing we can do about this, so everyone just go to bed and get some rest."
"Um Tanya", said Nosedive, "That whole going to bed was just a way to get our mom out of our room, or life. I mean it's only eight."
"Look", replied Tanya, "I'm tired! You may have had to deal with each other, but Mallory and I were lectured on our femininity, and trust me it's exhausting!"
"Why do you think no one else sat next to her", asked JoyRide, "And that includes Daddy."
"Look", said Bones, "I need to relax, where's my bedroom?"
"Not here", said JoyRide, "This is my room."
"Um Joy", said WildWing, "You do know that this is Nosedive's room, right?"
"What", cried JoyRide jumping off of the couch, "Impossible! Ha you almost got me! But if this was Nosedive's room, there would be a huge mess underneath the bed, and", she walked over to the bed and looked, "There is none. Plus this room is sparkling!"
"I didn't say Nosedive cleaned it", said WildWing.
"EW", cried JoyRide, "Bones this room is yours! I want Canard's room!"
"Ugh", groaned Canard, "Fine! Follow me."
Canard led JoyRide out of the room. Soon after, the entire team was assembled into the living room, with the exception of Tanya and Mallory who were sleeping. The rest of the Flashblade family, (not including WildWing and Nosedive), we're in their rooms. Duke, Grin, and Canard walked into the living room to find Nosedive sleeping on one couch and WildWing watching re- runs on T.V.
"Oh look", said Duke, "The kid's sleeping. Should we uh wake him?"
"Touch him and die", said WildWing, "He's had a very.frustrating day. Let him sleep, and, besides he'll be all cranky if you wake him up."
"Well he's taking up couch space", said Canard, "I want to sit!"
"It's called the floor", replied WildWing in no mood to argue.
"Oh fine", pouted the three adults.
They all began to have their moods lightened by the shows that they were watching when suddenly Bones burst into the living room, followed by a shrieking JoyRide.
"What did you do", asked WildWing.
"Come on Wing", said Bones, "Cover me!"
Bones ducked under the table.
"Where is he", screeched Joy who was covered in powder and pillow feathers, and of course syrup.
"Not here", said WildWing, "So go away."
"Nosedive's sleeping", said Joy, almost to ask why her brother was sleeping so early.
"Yeah and you're not", said WildWing, "Although I'd like you to be."
"Ugh", pouted JoyRide who reluctantly left.
Then Bones came out from the table.
"Thanks Wing", he said, "Now about Nosedive sleeping."
"Leave him alone Bones", hissed WildWing.
"Oh come on", said Bones, "Let's have some fun with this!"
"Let's not", muttered Canard.
"You people don't have any sense of humor", replied Bones.
"Leave Nosedive alone", said WildWing, "He's tired, and abused along with me."
"Oh shut up", said Bones, "You're not the only one having to live with them."
By them it was clear he meant his parents who also had a major impact on his life as well.
"I was only referring to them", muttered WildWing, "Come on Bones leave him alone. He's not bothering anyone."
"He's bothering me"
"And you're bothering me!"
"Okay okay", said Bones, "I'll shut up."
"Good", said Grin, "Because my aura is very clouded with this constant fighting."
"Heh", said Bones, "This is just the beginning."
"Noooo", whined WildWing, "Why do you say such horrible things?"
"Sorry bro", said Bones, "But it's the truth. Now about Nosedive."
"Leave him alone", said WildWing.
"Yeah sure, sure", replied Bones who was now studying his younger brother.
In an instant Bones jumped on Nosedive, causing a shriek.
"OW, AHH!!"
"Ha ha", cried Bones, "You should have seen the look on your face! Oh there it is again!"
"GET OFF OF ME", shouted Nosedive.
"Never", snickered Bones, "Does this hurt?"
He poked his brother's eye.
"OW!! WILDWING!"
"Bones", shouted WildWing, "Get off of him."
"Oh fine", pouted Bones.
"I'm telling", shouted Nosedive.
"But mom and dad are sleeping", said Bones.
"How can anyone sleep through this", asked Duke.
"It's an acquired skill", explained Bones, "When you have children like us, you have to get sleep somehow so you learn to train yourself to sleep through it."
"I don't care", whined Nosedive, "I'm still telling!"
"Nosedive don't", said WildWing, "Please they're sleeping we don't need to awake them so they can star- oh forget it."
Nosedive raced into his parent's room.
"He's not serious is he", asked Bones.
"What do you think", asked WildWing.
"OH MY GOSH", cried Bones, "NO! That worm is dead if he tells!"
Duke started laughing, "This is hysterical. You guys are what, six, seven feet?"
"Yeah", replied the twins.
"That's hysterical, you're six seven and you still cry when your mommy yells at you."
"Our mommy isn't like most mommies", cried Bones.
In a minute Nosedive approached the team with Mrs. Flashblade in her nightgown.
"BonusBeak Riverblood Flashblade!"
"Riverblood", asked Duke.
"All of us have it", muttered WildWing embarrassed, "They wanted to name us all the same thing, but still make us unique from each other. They think that they succeeded; well they never had to go to school with Riverblood as a name. It's supposed to resemble family, that blood is thicker than water and the blood in us, siblings I guess will always be strong together."
"Hehe", giggled Duke, "This keeps getting better and better!"
"I'm so glad you're enjoying this", replied WildWing.
"Bones", said Mrs. Flashblade, "I've had enough, that's it you're sleeping in my room tonight!"
"NOOOOO", yelled Bones, "ANYTHING BUT THAT!"
"Let's go", said Mrs. Flashblade.
"Mom please", begged Bones, "I'll be good!"
"Move it."
"You're dead Nosedive", hollered Bones, "DEAD!"
Nosedive merely stuck his tongue out and then left and took his place with his brother on the same couch.
"Whoa he was upset", said Duke.
"Yeah well you would be too", said WildWing, "Dad complains, and mom lectures."
"Huh?"
"Dad complains in his sleep, and mom lectures in her sleep", said Nosedive.
"Are you kidding me", said Duke.
"Could we make this up", asked WildWing.
"Hehee", cried Duke, "And I thought that having drug addicts, gangs, and thieves in my family was bad, but this, this makes my family look like the family from heaven!"
"Shut-up", groaned the Flashblades.
"All right, all right", said Duke, "Point taken.
"Come on kiddo", said WildWing, "Let's go to the rec room to sleep."
"Wait what", said Nosedive.
"Dive", said WildWing, "Everyone wants to watch T.V. now, and I want you sleeping, you've been working a very long time, and better yet I want me sleeping, so let's go."
"Yeah so why do we have to sleep in the rec room", asked Nosedive.
"Because Dive", sighed WildWing, "We can't take this room. Now let's go."
"Don't you guys have T.V.'s in your rooms", asked Nosedive.
"Nosedive", shouted WildWing.
"Okay okay", said Nosedive.
"No that's all right", said Canard, "We've got beds. Well they have beds! I DON'T AND THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FAMILY!"
"Suck it up Canard", yelled WildWing, "You didn't live with them!"
"And I still had to listen to them!"
"Um ew", said JoyRide coming from the hallway, "I know you're not fighting in my presence."
"Ugh", complained Nosedive. "I thought you went to bed."
"Well I decided to get up, and go to the rec room."
"NOO", cried Nosedive, "That's where I'm supposed to sleep tonight!"
"Well find somewhere else", replied JoyRide, "Or else I'm telling, and you know how mom is when she's wakened."
"WildWing", cried Nosedive, "Do something!"
"Don't worry guys", said Duke, "We'll let you three have the room."
Then Mr. Flashblade came out from the hallway and sat down on the couch.
"Time for some good Earthian TV", said Mr. Flashblade.
"No", whined Nosedive.
"What's his problem", asked Mr. Flashblade.
"Oh nothing", said WildWing elbowing his brother, "We're leaving.now."
"WiyaWing", whined Nosedive stomping his foot on the ground, "Where are we supposed to sleep for tonight? Every other room is taken!"
"Nosedive", said WildWing shortly, "Stop whining."
"Dad", groaned Nosedive, "I thought you were sleeping."
"Couldn't sleep", said Mr. Flashblade, "You're mother is talking in her sleep again, and that brother of yours is having an actual conversation with her. She keeps talking about all the bad stuff he did, and he yells back at her, only she ain't awake. I thought it was funny at first, but now it's tedious."
"Wonderful, just wonderful", said Nosedive, "But-"
"We're leaving", said WildWing.
"Where to", cried Nosedive, "Where are we supposed to sleep?!"
"Yeah Wing", said Canard, "Where are we supposed to sleep?"
~Next Morning~
"Dive, Wing, Canard", said Tanya gently shoving them.
The three team members woke up, all piled up on each other on the floor of central room. The three moaned and complained about neck and back problems.
"Did you guys sleep in here", snickered Duke.
"No, we slept in Prince Charming's castle", retorted Nosedive.
"Why did you guys sleep on the floor", asked Mallory.
"Dad had the T.V. room", said WildWing.
"JoyRide had the rec room", said Nosedive.
"Their mother sprayed that cleaning crap all over the kitchen", said Canard.
"And the only place left to sleep was here", said Nosedive.
"Yeah that or going over to Phil's place", said Canard, "And let me tell you there was much debate on that."
"But we didn't want to be in his debt forever", finished WildWing.
"You guys", said Duke, "You do know that you could have bunked with us right?"
"You tell us this now", shouted Nosedive ready to start a rampage, "Do you know how many back problems, neck problems, and circulation problems I have right now! I'll kill you! BWA HA HA!"
"Yeah see Nosedive isn't a morning person", commented WildWing as his little brother tackle Duke to the ground.
Canard picked Nosedive up by the shirt, "Come on short stuff, we got practice."
Nosedive groaned he knew it was going to be a long day.
~Game~
Inside the bleachers sat the family. Mr. Flashblade was eating a hot dog, Mrs. Flashblade was sitting contently, (but everyone knew that wouldn't last long), Bones was so tired he was practically falling asleep due to his mother's talking last night, and Joy well Joy was pouting about wearing her mother's newly sown sweater. Apparently the mother had been working on it, but "fortunately" finished it in time for her daughter to watch the game in it. Everyone else for once was begging to not to be put on the bench and were about to fight each other for who got to be in first. Even Grin had some say in this, and this time his say actually sounded like words.
However despite Grin's protests he was the first to be on the bench with the family. Within fifteen minutes they switched, now Duke's turn to be on the bench. When Grin returned to the game, the usually serene gentle giant, was now ready to kill after having to sit through Joy's speech on how horrible her life was. But then the father announced that he wanted popcorn. So Mrs. Flashblade went out after looking for a popcorn man. She was at the end of the rink by the goalies cage. Then she saw Nosedive with the puck.
"Oh hi sweetie", she called down.
Nosedive tripped over himself. Nosedive quickly resumed and looked at his mother everything else he completely regarded including the game.
"Let me help you up", said Mrs. Flashblade.
"NO", shouted Nosedive and started to skate.
"GET HIM", shouted Mrs. Flashblade from the stands. "COME ON DIVEY! I'LL KILL HIM FOR YOU!"
Mrs. Flashblade started running, but to Nosedive it looked like she was chasing him even though she was still in the stands, so Nosedive skated as fast as ever right off of the rink and ran straight into the locker rooms.
"TIME", shouted Canard.
"WildWing", said Canard, "Go find your brother."
"No", shouted Duke, "We can play six players! Please let me in! I can't take anymore of them! Please!"
"Well all right", agreed Canard.
Finally the game ended. The team found Nosedive hiding in the locker room from his mother.
"Dive", said WildWing, "She ain't after you."
"Don't you refer to your mother as a she", said Mrs. Flashblade from behind.
WildWing jumped, as did the rest of the team.
"Mom", he cried, "How'd you get in here?"
"Mom's are everywhere", she replied.
"No", whined Nosedive.
"And everywhere includes this locker room. Nosedive, why did you run off of the rink?"
"I thought you were going to kill me", he replied.
"Why would you think that?"
"Because you said "I'll kill you"."
"I never said that", chuckled Mrs. Flashblade, "Ha!"
"Oh good", said Nosedive's whose color in his face began to return to him.
"Now in honor of your win", said Mrs. Flashblade, "Why don't we all go out?"
"In public", gasped Nosedive.
"Mom", said WildWing, "Why don't we just rent some movies?"
"Sounds good to me", replied Mrs. Flashblade, "I'll tell everyone else."
Now watching movies, what could go wrong there? But then again this isn't any normal family, next chapter guaranteed to be funny! Sorry if this wasn't that great of a chapter!
Oh yeah I have re-done the first chapter. I was reading over my story and I saw all of the kids call their mom, "Mrs. Flashblade". What happened was, when I first wrote this, I had "Mrs. Flashblade", addressed by "mom", but then changed my mind, so when I hit find and replace it did it for all of them. Oops! Well sorry!

"OW!! WILDWING!"
"Bones", shouted WildWing, "Get off of him."
"Oh fine", pouted Bones.

"How can anyone sleep through this", asked Duke.
"It's an acquired skill", explained Bones, "When you have children like us, you have to get sleep somehow so you learn to train yourself to sleep through it."
"I don't care", whined Nosedive, "I'm still telling!"
"Nosedive don't", said WildWing, "Please they're sleeping we don't need to awake them so they can star- oh forget it."
Nosedive raced into his parent's room.
"He's not serious is he", asked Bones.
"What do you think", asked WildWing.
"OH MY GOSH", cried Bones, "NO! That worm is dead if he tells!"
Duke started laughing, "This is hysterical. You guys are what, six, seven feet?"
"Yeah", replied the twins.
"That's hysterical, you're six seven and you still cry when your mommy yells at you."
"Our mommy isn't like most mommies", cried Bones.
In a minute Nosedive approached the team with Mrs. Flashblade in her nightgown.
"BonusBeak Riverblood Flashblade!"
"Riverblood", asked Duke.
"All of us have it", muttered WildWing embarrassed, "They wanted to name us all the same thing, but still make us unique from each other. They think that they succeeded; well they never had to go to school with Riverblood as a name. It's supposed to resemble family, that blood is thicker than water and the blood in us, siblings I guess will always be strong together."
"Hehe", giggled Duke, "This keeps getting better and better!"
"I'm so glad you're enjoying this", replied WildWing.
"Bones", said Mrs. Flashblade, "I've had enough, that's it you're sleeping in my room tonight!"
"NOOOOO", yelled Bones, "ANYTHING BUT THAT!"
"Let's go", said Mrs. Flashblade.
"Mom please", begged Bones, "I'll be good!"
"Move it."
"You're dead Nosedive", hollered Bones, "DEAD!"
Nosedive merely stuck his tongue out and then left and took his place with his brother on the same couch.
"Whoa he was upset", said Duke.
"Yeah well you would be too", said WildWing, "Dad complains, and mom lectures."
"Huh?"
"Dad complains in his sleep, and mom lectures in her sleep", said Nosedive.
"Are you kidding me", said Duke.
"Could we make this up", asked WildWing.
"Hehee", cried Duke, "And I thought that having drug addicts, gangs, and thieves in my family was bad, but this, this makes my family look like the family from heaven!"
"Shut-up", groaned the Flashblades.
"All right, all right", said Duke, "Point taken.
"Come on kiddo", said WildWing, "Let's go to the rec room to sleep."
"Wait what", said Nosedive.
"Dive", said WildWing, "Everyone wants to watch T.V. now, and I want you sleeping, you've been working a very long time, and better yet I want me sleeping, so let's go."
"Yeah so why do we have to sleep in the rec room", asked Nosedive.
"Because Dive", sighed WildWing, "We can't take this room. Now let's go."
"Don't you guys have T.V.'s in your rooms", asked Nosedive.
"Nosedive", shouted WildWing.
"Okay okay", said Nosedive.
"No that's all right", said Canard, "We've got beds. Well they have beds! I DON'T AND THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FAMILY!"
"Suck it up Canard", yelled WildWing, "You didn't live with them!"
"And I still had to listen to them!"
"Um ew", said JoyRide coming from the hallway, "I know you're not fighting in my presence."
"Ugh", complained Nosedive. "I thought you went to bed."
"Well I decided to get up, and go to the rec room."
"NOO", cried Nosedive, "That's where I'm supposed to sleep tonight!"
"Well find somewhere else", replied JoyRide, "Or else I'm telling, and you know how mom is when she's wakened."
"WildWing", cried Nosedive, "Do something!"
"Don't worry guys", said Duke, "We'll let you three have the room."
Then Mr. Flashblade came out from the hallway and sat down on the couch.
"Time for some good Earthian TV", said Mr. Flashblade.
"No", whined Nosedive.
"What's his problem", asked Mr. Flashblade.
"Oh nothing", said WildWing elbowing his brother, "We're leaving.now."
"WiyaWing", whined Nosedive stomping his foot on the ground, "Where are we supposed to sleep for tonight? Every other room is taken!"
"Nosedive", said WildWing shortly, "Stop whining."
"Dad", groaned Nosedive, "I thought you were sleeping."
"Couldn't sleep", said Mr. Flashblade, "You're mother is talking in her sleep again, and that brother of yours is having an actual conversation with her. She keeps talking about all the bad stuff he did, and he yells back at her, only she ain't awake. I thought it was funny at first, but now it's tedious."
"Wonderful, just wonderful", said Nosedive, "But-"
"We're leaving", said WildWing.
"Where to", cried Nosedive, "Where are we supposed to sleep?!"
"Yeah Wing", said Canard, "Where are we supposed to sleep?"
~Next Morning~
"Dive, Wing, Canard", said Tanya gently shoving them.
The three team members woke up, all piled up on each other on the floor of central room. The three moaned and complained about neck and back problems.
"Did you guys sleep in here", snickered Duke.
"No, we slept in Prince Charming's castle", retorted Nosedive.
"Why did you guys sleep on the floor", asked Mallory.
"Dad had the T.V. room", said WildWing.
"JoyRide had the rec room", said Nosedive.
"Their mother sprayed that cleaning crap all over the kitchen", said Canard.
"And the only place left to sleep was here", said Nosedive.
"Yeah that or going over to Phil's place", said Canard, "And let me tell you there was much debate on that."
"But we didn't want to be in his debt forever", finished WildWing.
"You guys", said Duke, "You do know that you could have bunked with us right?"
"You tell us this now", shouted Nosedive ready to start a rampage, "Do you know how many back problems, neck problems, and circulation problems I have right now! I'll kill you! BWA HA HA!"
"Yeah see Nosedive isn't a morning person", commented WildWing as his little brother tackle Duke to the ground.
Canard picked Nosedive up by the shirt, "Come on short stuff, we got practice."
Nosedive groaned he knew it was going to be a long day.
~Game~
Inside the bleachers sat the family. Mr. Flashblade was eating a hot dog, Mrs. Flashblade was sitting contently, (but everyone knew that wouldn't last long), Bones was so tired he was practically falling asleep due to his mother's talking last night, and Joy well Joy was pouting about wearing her mother's newly sown sweater. Apparently the mother had been working on it, but "fortunately" finished it in time for her daughter to watch the game in it. Everyone else for once was begging to not to be put on the bench and were about to fight each other for who got to be in first. Even Grin had some say in this, and this time his say actually sounded like words.
However despite Grin's protests he was the first to be on the bench with the family. Within fifteen minutes they switched, now Duke's turn to be on the bench. When Grin returned to the game, the usually serene gentle giant, was now ready to kill after having to sit through Joy's speech on how horrible her life was. But then the father announced that he wanted popcorn. So Mrs. Flashblade went out after looking for a popcorn man. She was at the end of the rink by the goalies cage. Then she saw Nosedive with the puck.
"Oh hi sweetie", she called down.
Nosedive tripped over himself. Nosedive quickly resumed and looked at his mother everything else he completely regarded including the game.
"Let me help you up", said Mrs. Flashblade.
"NO", shouted Nosedive and started to skate.
"GET HIM", shouted Mrs. Flashblade from the stands. "COME ON DIVEY! I'LL KILL HIM FOR YOU!"
Mrs. Flashblade started running, but to Nosedive it looked like she was chasing him even though she was still in the stands, so Nosedive skated as fast as ever right off of the rink and ran straight into the locker rooms.
"TIME", shouted Canard.
"WildWing", said Canard, "Go find your brother."
"No", shouted Duke, "We can play six players! Please let me in! I can't take anymore of them! Please!"
"Well all right", agreed Canard.
Finally the game ended. The team found Nosedive hiding in the locker room from his mother.
"Dive", said WildWing, "She ain't after you."
"Don't you refer to your mother as a she", said Mrs. Flashblade from behind.
WildWing jumped, as did the rest of the team.
"Mom", he cried, "How'd you get in here?"
"Mom's are everywhere", she replied.
"No", whined Nosedive.
"And everywhere includes this locker room. Nosedive, why did you run off of the rink?"
"I thought you were going to kill me", he replied.
"Why would you think that?"
"Because you said "I'll kill you"."
"I never said that", chuckled Mrs. Flashblade, "Ha!"
"Oh good", said Nosedive's whose color in his face began to return to him.
"Now in honor of your win", said Mrs. Flashblade, "Why don't we all go out?"
"In public", gasped Nosedive.
"Mom", said WildWing, "Why don't we just rent some movies?"
"Sounds good to me", replied Mrs. Flashblade, "I'll tell everyone else."
Now watching movies, what could go wrong there? But then again this isn't any normal family, next chapter guaranteed to be funny! Sorry if this wasn't that great of a chapter!
