Meanwhile at the pond, the ducks had just finished a game, and now Tanya
was trying to get a drink from the water fountain, but the darned thing was
stuck.
"Grr if Nosedive's been playing with the fountains again he's in big trouble!"
Suddenly a small hand touched Tanya's shoulder. She turned around.
"Excuse me but our game's already-."
She froze still at the sight of a little girl with a petit beak. The girl looked straight into her eyes.
"Might I assist?"
Tanya chuckled a bit.
"Nice costume kid. Now go back to your mom 'Kay?"
The girl looked over to the fountain.
"Allow me a moment."
She levitated exactly ten inches off the ground and shut her eyes. The blue gem she was wearing glowed. Suddenly, despite the jam in the fountain, water was pouring out! Tanya couldn't believe it!
"Whoa! How'd you do that?"
The girl giggled a bit.
"I bid it come, and it came."
At this point Tanya thought she was going crazy.
"O...Kay. Who ARE you anyway?"
The girl descended back to the ground and took a slight bow.
"I am Falera. I have come here to seek my sisters."
Tanya scratched her head.
"Ri-ight."
Falera looked to the doorway to the ducks' headquarters. Again her jewel began to glow, and a wave of water gushed in, eventually knocking the door off. Tanya was used to that, but puzzled nonetheless.
"I take it you bid THAT one to come too?"
Falera nodded and shook some water out of her light brown hair, which was soaking wet from the wave. She shut her eyes and levitated inside, a stunned Tanya following. Duke, startled by the sudden wave, ran out of the control room.
"HEY TANYA! WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE?"
He froze at the sight of Falera, and then chuckled.
"Nice costume kiddo. Now go back to your mommy alright?"
Tanya stuttered a bit.
"Err Duke?"
"Yeah Tanya?"
"I'm not so sure if that's a costume anymore."
"Whaddaya mean it's not a costume? I mean look the-"
Duke tried to get Falera's beak off, thinking it was a mask, but it didn't budge. He froze.
"Whoops. Sorry about that."
Falera scowled as she rubbed her beak.
Duke heard footsteps in the hallway and hit his forehead.
"Oh no not him again!"
The door opened, and Phil ran over to Duke. His expression was one of impatience as he grabbed Duke's shoulders.
"Well don't just stand there booby time's a-wastin'!"
Duke scowled and rolled his eyes as he pushed Phil off.
"For the last time Phil, I am NOT gonna run around the Pond dressed like a giant tomato!"
Tanya walked past Falera and stared straight at Phil.
"Yeah and forget about me doing cartwheels wearing an asparagus costume!"
Phil crossed his arms, tapping his foot.
"Sorry boobies but the supermarket commercial is just TOO valuable to pass up! Now I just need one more person to-"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Falera. He looked at her, and then lifted her up.
"PERFECT! This girl can be the Brussels sprouts!"
Falera scowled and shut her eyes, her jewel glowing yet again. A wave came from the top of the bookshelf, and then...
*BONK*
A book fell off of the shelf as a result of the wave and hit Phil on the head, knocking him out. Falera pushed an unconscious Phil off of her and levitated down. Duke sighed in relief and grinned to Falera.
"Y'know you and I are gonna get along just fine."
"Grr if Nosedive's been playing with the fountains again he's in big trouble!"
