Special Thanks:

BlueMoonDuchess~ as always thank you sssssssoooooooooo much!! I never could have gotten this far with out you. And your stories are so inspiring!

Silver Elf Child~ Of course I'll pray for Tyler! I'll even have him added to the prayer list at church. I may know how you feel, Mrs. Hubbard, my English teacher from last year, has a little brother about nine years old who has severe leukemia. He's been though a lot and had a lot of really close calls but is okay right now. I like to draw him pictures from Dragon Ball Z since it's his favorite show. It's so sweet! He sends me drawing that he's done in return! Mrs. Hubbard has them all over her classroom. Thanks for the review! I looked back the last chapter and saw the mistakes, things like saying here in place of hear and such. I really will have to watch out for that. I mean to actually get a chapter out without mistakes at least once! It just hasn't worked yet. ^-^

Author's note: You know guys, I took the time to re-read my story and I realized I started with something in the earlier chapters and left yall hanging. Let's see if I can't rectify that shall we?

Just to let you know this is mainly fluff, just wanted something out.

And just for extra information I've seen Pirates of the Caribbean 6 times and am presently convinced that Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the greatest movie characters ever.

Reunions of the Best Kind

"Char!" he called excitedly as he spotted his friend sitting up on one of the table, wrapped in bandages.

"Hi-ya Nosedive," he smiled happy to see the duck once more.

"We'll be in the Ready Room if either of you need us," stated Wildwing as he motioned the rest of the team out of the room. The two friends obviously needed some time alone.

Nosedive smiled his thanks before sitting on the bed by Chameleon, careful not to jolt any of his injuries by causing the bed to move. "So, how ya feeling?"

"Like I got ran over by a stream roller," he said quirking a smile despite his injury. "But happy to be back where I belong,"

"And we're glad to have you back. Things just weren't the same with out you man." Dive responded honestly.

Meanwhile: "And why did you help him?" Canard asked as Akira was questioned.

"As my duty," she answered him honestly as she was bombarded with questions, though it had been expected and all her answers were perfectly prepared. "If those who can fight refuse too, than who will? The people must be helped and these tyrants stopped."

Many more questions followed and answers were given. The Ducks really didn't know what to do; after all they couldn't just throw one of their own out, especially if she had made a move against the Saurians.

On the other hand, what if it was another Lucritia incident. They really didn't need to risk it.

A decision was made after a group discussion. They could not simply desert her in the chance that her story was true, and Chameleon was able to vouch for part of her story. Akira would be allowed to stay but only under constant surveillance until she had been proven trustworthy.

Within the next couple of weeks Akira proved herself to be loyal to her new friends, or in the Saurians' case, a brilliant actress. They came to trust and accept her cause I think it'll be boring to go over all those weeks and I have a two second attention span. Continuing now.

"Man, that was a total blast!" commented Slapshot as he entered the rink. "That has got to be the best movie ever!"

"You mean you actually took your eyes of Kat long enough to notice?" chuckled Chameleon.

"Oh haha," Slapshot answered though a blush rose under his feathers. "Aren't you a regular comedian?"

"No, not really," Chameleon smirked, "I'm a chameleon."

"He's got you there buddy boy," Dive laughed.

Slapshot rolled his eyes in reply before quickly changing the subject. "So how 'bout a trip to Captain Comics?"

"Oh ya, we have so gotta tell Thrash and Mook about the flick!"

"Sorry guys," chimed in Kat "but I'm gonna have to bail, promised to meet Mal, KK, and Tawny at the mall for a girls days out and get Akira (KK) used to things here on Earth. That means all the girls and ONLY girls,"

"And you didn't invite Canard?!?!" Nosedive asked wide-eyed.

The group fell into laughter.

"Seriously guys," Kat said as the laughter settled down. "I'm going to be late," she walked toward the door. She paused on a second thought. Turning back in the direction she came she went up to Slapshot, her beak kissing his cheek. "Later," she called back with a wink, her black braid swinging behind her as she left.

Slapshot's eyes followed her out as a huge blush crept onto his cheek and showed through the layer of feathers.

The group burst into another round of laughter, but his eyes warning them against any wise comments.

"Whatever man, I gotta go see my bro, promised him I'd check in when I got home," Nosedive left the group and headed to Wildwing's room just as he had said.

"What's up bro?" Dive asked as he entered the room peeking over his shoulder to see what he was holding.

"Nothing much," he shrugged slipping the picture under his pillow but not before Dive saw what it was.

"And still don't get you man, I mean why not tell her?" he asked shaking his head, blonde hair swinging around his shoulder.

"Tell who what?" Wildwing ask faking confusion at who the 'she' was.

"Duh! Tell Mal-mal you like her! It's practically written all over your face. Now if only we could get it out of your beak."

"And if she feels different?" Wildwing ask with a raised eyebrow. "I know this may come as a shock to ya, but every one doesn't think like you baby bro,"

"A real pity isn't?" he sighed jokingly. "If they did than the world would be full of geniuses. Oh well, not every one can be perfect. "

"I know, but you can keep trying to catch up with me," Wildwing laughed.

"You changed the subject!"

"No, actually that was you."

"Oh shut up. Don't we have hockey practice or something?"

"Of course not, we only have those when it's to you personal inconvenience." Wildwing smirked beating his brother in their little word game. "And a stunning comeback from Wildwing! The crowd goes wild!" he teased.

The two brothers broke into laughter as Dive settled on the bed by his brother's side. "I will have my pay back. This was just the warm up" "Nah I'll beat you the next time too,"

"How do ya figure that?"

"Easy, it's in the big brother rule book. I always win and am always right,"

"Unless your little brother speaks in which case you're always wrong. Still think you need to tell her,"

"And I still think she'll say no,"

"What's that you always tell me? You'll never know if you don't try."

"But Dive, this is different, it's."

"The same thing and you know. Face it bro, you're hung on her, not that I blame you," he added thinking about the time she had come out in tat dress before going to the mall after the Decoy incident. "Not bad for a military chick at all,"

Wildwing chuckled. "Can't argue with that one but there is more to a person than looks ya know,"

"No," Dive said in mock surprise with wide eyes. "And see, you admit it, you're hung on her," he told him in a more normal tone.

"I didn't say that,"

"Didn't deny it either. And since I'm such a nice, cool, charming, good looking."

"Modest?" Wildwing interrupted.

"Ya, modest, talented."

"Get to the point baby bro,"

"Point? Oh ya, I'm gonna do you a favor. You have two options, 1.) Tell her,"

"Or?" he asked knowing his little brother a little to well."

"Well if you'd stop interrupting me,"

"Sorry,"

"You did it again. Anywho, or I'll tell her,"

"You wouldn't dare,"

"Of course I would, I'm Duck Vader, bow to my evilness, Mwhahahaha," he said in his best Darth Vader impression and began coughing in the middle of his 'evil' laugh.

Wildwing laughed. "Well if that's the case than meet my wrath Duck Vader for I am Luke IceWalker," Wildwing quickly yanked the pillow out from under Dive's head a popped him across the face with it.

"Oh, you've done it now, PILLOW FIGHT!!" Dive shouted as he grabbed Wildwing's pillow and hit him back.

The fight was on.

Fifteen Minutes Later

The brothers found themselves in an unceremonious pile on the floor and the pillows nowhere in site.

" Well that was fun," Wing smiled breathlessly.

"Always is with me," Dive teased as an answer.

"Whatever you say baby-bro," he answered.

"So are you gonna tell her or what?"

"I will on my own time, promise,"

"Okay," Nosedive answered standing and shake loose some extra feathers he had gained during the 'fight'. He headed towards the door. "But remember this bro. Love doesn't make the world go round, but it's what make the ride worth wild,"*

With that said Dive left and the door closed behind him leaving Wildwing to wonder. That's Nosedive for ya, he acted like a goof 95% of the time but then he surprised you and spouted out something like that.

"I think I will tell her," Wildwing decided softly.
