Don't Say Goodbye
By Silver Elf Child
Wildwing stood on Drake One's platform surrounded by all of his team members except one, Nosedive. They had been complaining to him for hours now about personal grievances suffered by the teenager. Green hair dye in shampoo, whip cream in hair gel, syrup on handles, broken crystals, the list went on and on. Dragonus and his goons had not been up to any trouble within the last few weeks, so Nosedive had to work overtime on the pranks. Needless to say Wildwing had his own list of grievances with his brother, and most had to do with Magic. Nosedive had neglected to clean Magic's litter box the last few days and it reeked. He defiantly did not enjoy waking up each morning to that smell. Yesterday, Wildwing tripped on one of Magic's toys and almost broke his leg. When he confronted Nosedive about it he was told to lighten up'. Sure he was a little up tight as of late, and these complaints about his brother were not helping, but isn't everyone entitled to be a little uptight every once in a while. Enough was enough! He had to do something about Nosedive's pranks.
"Okay guys I understand. Give it a rest. I'm sick and tired of everyone complaining about Nosedive."
"What do you expect us to do, he's your brother," seethed Mal.
"Go talk to him if you have a problem with him."
"We did," Duke said flatly. "But he won't listen. He tells us that we are over reacting."
"But aren't you?"
"Wildwing, I don't believe you understand."
"I understand perfectly. Dive's bored and is amusing himself at our expense."
"Yes OUR expense," Mal reiterated to Wildwing. "US, not you, US!"
"He's been annoying me too, Mallory," Wildwing said coolly. "We just have to"
"Punish him!" Duke pointed out.
"What?! No."
"Wildwing you have to punish him. Would your parents have let him get away with those stunts?" Duke asked.
"Well no, but"
"He needs to be punished!" Mal exclaimed.
"Why me? Why should I have to do it?"
"Because your team captain."
"I'm also his brother. He'll never take me seriously."
"Wildwing he will only listen to you," Tanya pointed out.
"Since when does Dive EVER listen to anybody?"
"Since now," Duke said.
"You guys don't understand. Dive will never let me punish him. All he'll do is laugh in my face. I'm not going to do it. If you want to punish him, then go right ahead, Duke. I'm not doing your dirty work for you."
"Fine we'll do it for you," Mallory stated.
"Not you, Mal, I said, Duke can. You will only aggravate him."
"Fine," Mal said as she folded her arms across her chest and pouted.
"Okay, Wing I'll punish him, but you have to go get him," Duke said.
"All right, but what are you going to do?"
"I haven't decided yet."
Wildwing gave Duke a skeptical look. "I'm not going to get him until you tell me what you are going to do first."
"Wildwing, just get him. If you don't like the idea you can object then, not now."
"Oh all right, but no hitting. No one is going to beat him."
After Wildwing had left Mallory said under her breath, "I sure would like to though."
"So guys, what suitable punishment should, Dive have?" Duke asked.
"He could be my personal slave for a week," Mal said with an evil smile.
"That would be fun, but think about it, do you really want to have Dive with you twenty four seven?"
"If he was slave, I wouldn't mind."
"Oookaaay."
"But Mallory, that would give him more opportunities to annoy you. Extra hot spices in your food, a TPed room, more dye in your shampoo, access to your wardrobe"
"Okay I get your drift, Tanya, just forget I even thought of the idea."
"No it's a good idea, Mallory," Grin joined in. "Only let Nosedive be Wildwing's slave."
"But Wing wouldn't make him do anything," Mal protested.
"But Wing would have constant contact with Dive and he'll have to follow Wing around everywhere. That means if he pulls a prank, it'll be on Wing not us," Duke pointed out.
"And Wing will know what we are talking about and he'll have to punish Nosedive," Tanya added.
"So are we agreed?" asked Duke.
"Agreed!"
