"Sorry." Lea apologized.
"It's ok." Dive told her as he pulled her to her feet. Lea wobbled, Nosedive grabbed her waist as she grabbed his shoulders.
"Whoa, whoa! I hope I'm not interrupting." Duke's voice range through the rink. They let go as fast as they could.
"It's not what it looks like!" Both teens protested.
"Sure, sure. Lea, Phil's lookn' for ya."
"Really? Did he say what he wanted?"
"Somethin' about a car." Duke told her.
"I wonder what he's talking about. I've only driven Uncle Phil's car once since I've gotten here." Lea told them. Duke shrugged. "No clue. But it sounded like he wanted to talk to ya soon."
"I'll go see him as soon as I figure out how to get off the ice." Lea responded.
"Oh, give yourself a little more credit. You're doing fine." Nosedive told her.
"Sure. Can I have a ride?" Lea asked. Dive laughed and nodded his head.
"Hold on." Lea grabbed his arm and held on as he skated towards the sidelines.
"Come in!" Lea and Nosedive walked in the small office. Phil was talking on the phone. "Yes, I understand that, but I'm not sure...well, yes...but. Yes. I'll talk to her about it. In fact she's here in the office with me." Lea and Dive exchanged looks. "Yes, I'll tell her. Ok, yes good bye." Phil hung up the phone.
"You wanted to talk to me about something?" Lea asked.
"Yeah. Something just arrived for you. In fact, I was talking to the person who sent it to you. Come out front and I'll show you." Phil motioned for them to go the front.
"Oh, coolness! They remembered!" Lea exclaimed reading a small note attached to one of the windshield wipers.
"Remembered?" Phil asked.
"Yeah. When I was living in New York, my Uncle David and Aunt Fox, promised me a new car for my birthday."
"But you're birthday's not for another two weeks." Nosedive pointed out.
"They wanted to make sure I got it in time, and got the insurance settled before I got to drive it."
"No far! Why do you get a car?"
"I agree."
"Uncle David said it was to make up for missing so much of my life." Lea gently ran her hand over the paint. "I'm going to go put it in the garage. You wanna come?" Lea asked Dive.
"You bet!"
"Going over our playbook. Canard thought this one up."
"It's a good play."
"Yeah."
"You really miss him, don't you?" Wildwing nodded his head.
"So, are you going to let me drive it?" Nosedive asked walking into he room with Lea and Duke.
"Maybe."
"How about you let me drive and I'll talk you out for diner?"
"That sounds like a good plan." Wildwing looked up to see Dive and Lea smiling and Duck shaking his head.
"What's up?"
"Lea got a new car." Duke said smiling.
"What?! How'd you afford it?!" Mallory yelled.
"She got it for he birthday." Nosedive told her.
"You got a car for your birthday?" Wildwing asked. Lea rolled her eyes.
"It's not that big of a deal. I got a car."
"Why? Who?" Mallory asked.
"From my Uncle and Aunt. They promised me a car because up until about 2 years ago they had no clue I existed. So Uncle David's trying to make up for it."
"Bubalas! You've got a photo shoot over at Chunky Chuck's Peanut butter plant."
"Alright. Let's go." Wildwing said following Phil.
"You do have your own pens, right?" Phil asked.
"No, my last one died." Mallory said.
"Mine too."
"I can go get some, and meet you guys there."
"Alright, just be careful." Phil warned.
"I will, see you guys in a bit."
"I'm here to deliver something to the team."
"Sure you are. Now come on." The guard said reaching for Lea's arm.
"There you are!" Duke's voice suddenly rang out. "Phil and Nosedive are practically panicking." He told her.
"Thanks."
"No problem, kid. Ya know, that doesn't really fit ya. I'll have ta think of somethin' better than that." Lea smiled.
"Lea! You ok?" Nosedive yelled out.
"Fine. You wouldn't believe the traffic!" She told him. "Here ya go." She put the bag of pens on the table.
"Thanks." Wildwing said grabbing one and started signing autographs.
"Lea, if I give you money for two sodas, would you get me one?" Nosedive asked. She opened her eyes to look at the blond duck.
"Sure, what do you want?"
"Dew, or something like that."
"K, any one else?"
"No thanks."
"Ok, be back in a bit." Lea grabbed Dive's cash and walked to the nearest pop machine. She was just about to put the first dollar in when an explosion rocked the area. "What the? Oh no!" Lea ran back to where the group was. The area was in total chaos. Siege and the Chameleon were shooting at the Ducks. Lea smiled. "Good, they don't know I'm here." She looked around for a second and found a large lead pipe. She silently walked up behind Siege. "Nighty night." And smashed the pipe into the back of his head, knocking him out cold. Chameleon swung around and aimed his laser at her. "That's not a smart idea." Lea told him as she it the laser with the pipe, knocking it out of his hands. A fireball exploded a foot in front of her.
"I don't know who you are, but this is going to be fun." Wraith told her, while powering up another fireball.
"Don't you dare!" Duke yelled out kicking Wraith over.
"Boss, we need some help." Chameleon yelled into his com. Mallory and Tanya had started to move in on him. In a green light Dragaunus appeared, sending Wildwing flying.
"Who are you?" Dragaunus snarled.
"I'm LeaMarie, and that's all you need to know." Lea growled. Dragaunus snarled. Duke was at Lea's side in an instant.
"Ya ok?" He asked her. Lea nodded her head. A small growl escaped from her lips. Siege woke up and staggered over to Dragaunus. Dragaunus laughed evilly.
"Wraith, take them!" Wraith launched a fireball blowing a part the small stage that Duke and Lea were standing on. Lea jumped up into a near by tree, but Duke wasn't so lucky and landed hard on the ground. Lea jumped down out of the tree and landed on Wraith, using her momentum, she pushed off and landed on her feet.
"Dragaunus, I suggest you give up!" Wildwing yelled. He, Nosedive, Grin, and Mallory had surrounded Dragaunus.
"I don't think so." Dragaunus, Siege, Wraith, and Chameleon all teleported away.
"Is every one alright?" Wildwing asked.
"Yeah, fine, Bro." Every one else nodded their heads.
"Ya fine?" Duke asked Lea.
"Yep." She shook some dust off of her.
"How'd you stay on your feet like that?" Mallory asked.
"I was trained to do that." Lea told her.
"So you always land on your feet?" Tanya asked.
"Most of the time."
"Kitten!" Duke exclaimed.
"Where?!" Nosedive asked looking around.
"No, not a kitten, Lea!" The others were giving him weird looks. "So, what da ya think?" Duke asked Lea.
"I like it."
"Let's get back to the Pond." Wildwing ordered walking off.
"Umm...I'll meet you guys there."
"I'll ride with you." Duke told her.
"Ya wanna drive?" She asked holding up the keys.
"Sure thin'" Lea tossed him the keys.
"What about him?"
"He hasn't played one trick since Lea got here."
"Maybe he's trying to impress her."
"Or he's planning something bit."
"NOSEDIVE!" Lea's voice echoed through the Pond. Nosedive ran into the kitchen.
"Um...hi, Bro?" Nosedive asked smiling.
"What did you do now?" Mallory asked.
"Nothing!"
"Nosedive!" Lea yelled as she stormed into the kitchen. "When I want to dye my hair I'll buy some dye!" Duke, Tanya, and Grin walked in followed by Phil. Lea was standing in the middle of the room in a long black bathrobe. Her normally brown hair was now green.
"Plus it'll either go to red or blue!"
"Umm...er...nice robe?" Dive asked. Lea looked down and growled as she stormed out of the room.
"I think you're in trouble, Kid." Duke told Nosedive.
"I think so too."
"I read it on the net one day. Be careful, he's got stuff every where." Lea warned.
"K." Lea and Mallory walked into Dive's room, stuck stuff on the walls, and crept out. "Ready?" Mallory asked opening her com.
"Ready." Mallory pushed a button and Drake 1 started blaring. The others ran into the hall.
"AHHHHHHHH! HELP! I'M UNDER ATTACK!" Nosedive screamed. Wildwing took off running into Nosedive's room, flipping on the lights as he entered. Lea and Mallory were laughing so hard they were on the floor.
"Whadda ya two do?" Duke asked.
"I love glow-in-the-dark stickers." Lea said cryptically.
"See, there's nothing in here." Wildwing said as he flipped off the lights.
"AHHHH!" Wildwing was back in the room. Duke started laughing.
"There's nothing in here."
"When you turn off the lights..."
"Dive."
"I'm serious, Bro. Dude, stay in here and turn 'em off."
"Ok, fine." The lights went off. "AHH!" The whole team burst into giggles at Wildwing's scream. Both ducks ran out of the room.
"Nothing's in there, eh, Bro?" Nosedive asked sarcastically. Wildwing looked at the group. Nosedive stopped and looked too. "LEA!" He yelled.
"Yes?" Leas asked giggling.
"What are those things?" Wildwing demanded.
"Glow 'n' the dark stickers." Lea answered.
"Go take them down." Wildwing ordered.
"Ok." Lea walked in followed by Mallory.
"Night, Bro." Dive said following the girls in. "When did you do this?"
"While you were asleep." Mallory answered.
"You know, this could mean war." Nosedive said smiling.
"I'd look forward to it." Lea replied.
"It'll be interesting." Mallory responded.
"Well, good night, Nosedive, sleep well." Lea said walking following Mallory out.
"Yeah, it's been two days and nothin's happened." Duke reported.
"Has either side made a move?" Phil asked.
"No, and frankly I'm worried." Wildwing told the team. The tension had been growing amongst the elders in the group. Lea and Dive had been on good terms, but Mallory and Lea had been seen talking softly. The others were afraid of walking into a prank. "Think ya should call a truce?" Tanya asked.
"Let 'em have their fun." Duke told her. "The Kid's never really had any one to play wit here."
"That's true. Nosedive use to be so out going too."
"I'm kinda amazed he gets along wit her. He doesn't seem to get along wit humans vary well." The doors whooshed open to reveal Mallory and Lea.
"Yeah, and its water based so...er...hi guys. What's up?" Mallory burst into giggles.
"That's what we were wondering."
"You know the usual, sky, ceiling, clouds, the normal stuff."
"Mallory?" Wildwing asked, accusingly.
"What she said."
"We should get to the mall."
"Yeah, see ya!"
"They're definitely up ta something."
"Yeah, and I want to know what."
"I wouldn't go into any rooms without scanning them first." Tanya told Wing. Lea came marching back in and walked into the kitchen.
"Now what happened?"
"No clue." Duke responded. Lea came back out with a large knife.
"Where are you going with that?" Wildwing asked.
"Do you have any clue as to what your little brother did?" Lea demanded pointing and shaking the knife at Wildwing.
"No."
"What ever he did I'm sure..." Duke started.
"He shrink wrapped my car!"
"He what?" Duke asked.
"He shrink wrapped my car." Lea repeated as she walked out.
"Why do I get the feeling this is just the start?"
"Really? Do you know where they disappeared to?"
"I think they said the mall." Duke smiled again.
"So Mal-mal talked her into a mall crawl, huh?"
"I kinda think it's the other way around."
"Well, they'd better get back soon. They'll be late for practice." Nosedive told Duke.
"No they won't." Lea said entering the rink. "They've still got 5 minutes."
"Where's Mallory?" Duke asked.
"Suiting up."
"I don't trust her."
"Tanya's in there too, if it makes you feel any better." Lea offered.
"Not much."
"Line up!" Wildwing ordered.
"Have fun, Sugars." Lea waved walking away.
"Where are you going?" Nosedive yelled.
"I've got work that needs to be done." Nosedive was watching her walk away.
"DIVE!" Wildwing snapped.
"Yeah, Bro?"
"Pay attention! Continue, Tanya."
"Ah...right, any way." Duke stopped paying attention and looked over at Nosedive. He looked a little hurt that Wildwing had yelled at him.
[Wing, you have no idea, how much he loves you do you?] Duke thought to himself.
"Nosedive, you need to pay more attention to your slap shot. It was no ware near an open spot."
"Sorry, Bro." Lea looked up s the ducks entered the room. "I was thinking about something else."
"Nosedive..." Wildwing started to warn.
"Dive, could you give me a hand with all this?" Lea asked motioning to the stack of papers on the table.
"Sure, no problemo."
"Thanks. Could you grab that box too? I need to get all this stuff to my room."
"Sure thing."
"Hurry back, I want to start going over some new plays." Wildwing told them.
"Sure thing." Lea and Dive walked out of the room.
"Thanks, Dive."
"You're welcome." He put the stuff on Lea's desk. "We should get going."
"I need to tell you something first. I'll be going to New York on Sunday."
"For how long?" Nosedive asked eyes widening.
"About two weeks."
"Why?"
"Business."
"Oh. Can I call you while you're gone?" Lea laughed.
"Of course. And e-mail. Come on, let's get going back."
"Righto!" Dive said placing a hand on her back. When they were walking back, they could hear Wildwing's voice.
"This team's going to be hard to beat. We'll need total concentration."
"Wing, you're bein' to hard on the Kid." They heard Duke say. Lea put a hand out to stop Dive. Their eyes met for a second. "He's a teenager after all. It's natural for their attention to wander. 'Specially with a pretty face 'round." Lea looked up at Nosedive who was blushing. He smiled at her.
"We should go in." Nosedive whispered.
"Ok." The two teens walked in halting the conversation.
"As I was saying we'll need total concentration during the game, and during practices."
"When's the game?" Lea asked suddenly.
"Saturday, why?"
"Good, I'll be able to see it."
"Why wouldn't ya be able to see it?" Duke asked.
"I'm gong to New York for two weeks."
"Why?" Mallory asked.
"For work. One of the under companies that my Uncle runs is having a little trouble, so I'm being called in."
"Oh, and what company is that?" Wildwing asked.
"Sore wa himistu desu." Le asked winking and pointing.
"Huh?"
"Now, that's a secret." She told him as she walked out of the room.
"She's cool." Nosedive said looking after her.
"Ok, let's get down to business."
"Let's go!" Wildwing ordered. "Lea, stay here!"
"But!" The ducks were already out of the door. "I want to help." She trailed off. "Well, this bites." She went back into the Rec Room and started flipping through the channels. "Seen it, seen it, saw it, own it, who'd want to own it?" She got up and went down to the gym. She started a simple work out. [I'm a fighter, not a watcher. I'm better suited for the field, not for sitting around.] A buzzing caught her attention. Lea stopped her kata and got up to investigate the sound. She noticed a blinking light on Drake 1's keyboard and hit it. The screen brought up an outside security camera's view point. There was some one standing outside that holding several boxes. Lea noticed a small microphone next to her and spoke into it. "Hello?" The person jumped.
"Ah...hi...I'm here to deliver these packages to the Mighty Ducks." Lea noticed that the person had a slightly green tint to his hands, plus there was something she just didn't trust about him.
"I'm sorry. All packages must be dropped off between nine and one Monday through Friday. You'll have to come back then. I'm sorry for the problems this may cause. Good day." Lea watched as the person teleported away. "Glade I didn't let him in."
"While you guys were gone, some one stopped over saying they had packages for you. There was something about him that I didn't trust so I told him he'd have to come back on Monday. Then he disappeared in a flash of green." Lea told him as she looked down. She was startled when Nosedive gently brought her face up to look at him.
"Girly-girl, you did the right thing. You probably single handedly kept the Pond out of Draganus's claws." Nosedive smiled. "Come on, we'd better tell Wildwing."
"Can I shower first? I probably stink."
"Come on." He said gently pulling on her arm.
"Ok, ok!" Lea said letting him pull her out of the gym.
"Sounds like he Chameleon." Duke told her.
"LeaMarie, your insight has saved us." Grin told her.
"Thanks. So, how was your battle?"
"Didn't the Kid tell ya?" Duke asked.
"No..."
"There was on one there."
"Odd."
"That's what I thought too." Wildwing mused. "But if they'd been trying to get into the Pond maybe they figured there would be no one here to stop them. And by the time they got back, it'd be too late."
"Good point, Wing-stir." Nosedive encouraged. "But ya know, I think I'm going to go catch some Z's."
"Night."
"I agree with Dive. It's late and I've gotta lot of packing to do by tomorrow." Lea told the ducks.
"I thought you weren't leaving until the next day." Tanya asked.
"I not, but I always end up forgetting something, and I really don't want to have to have what ever it is sent to me, so, Night."
"No kidding." Phil snapped. Nosedive and Wildwing were talking something over while they could. The whistle sounded. Dive took his place at the center. Lea could see Dive and the other guy were talking. Nosedive went to hit the guy, but the guy had the puck and was gone, and another goal was scored.
"And the Mighty Ducks go down by one goal at the end of the half." The ducks followed by Phil and Lea went down to the locker room.
"What was that?!" Wildwing yelled at Nosedive.
"They guy was talking trash about you guys."
"That's no reason to go after him like that! You've heard all that stuff before."
"Sorry, Bro."
"Let's get on the ice." Wildwing ordered. Nosedive looked down at his skates.
"Dive, we all lose our tempers at times. It'll be alright." He smiled and followed his team on to the ice.
"Just in case of what?"
"In case you want to get a hold of me." Lea told Dive. "I thought you'd be asleep by now."
"Just turned off my light. I was up reading."
"Ah, well I should get back to my room, and get some sleep."
"You could stay." Lea's eyes widened.
"I'm not sure that hit me right." There was a moment of silence then Nosedive burst into laughter.
"That's not what I meant! I meant, you could spend the night in here and we could talk. I promise, I won't try anything!"
"Ok." Lea sat on the edge of his bed. "Whadda wanta talk about?"
"Just five more minutes." He muttered.
"I'd love to, but I have to shower and catch a plane today."
"Ok." Lea sighed.
"Dive." She growled.
"Three more minutes?"
"Morning, Wildwing." Nosedive sat strait up.
"It's not what it looks like!" He yelled. Lea started laughing. "It's not funny." Lea was laughing so hard she could only nod her head. "Well how's this for funny?" Nosedive asked before tickling her.
"AHH!" Lea cried as she tried to get away.
"Give up?"
"Never!" After a few minutes of giggling and tickling Lea gave up. "Ok, ok, I give up."
"Morning." Nosedive said breathing hard.
"Morning." Lea whispered back, looking up at him. They started at each other for a while, trying the catch their breath. "We should get up."
"Why?" Nosedive asked. "I'm comfortable, aren't you?"
"Yes, but I've got to get ready to go. Plus what would the others say if they walked in on us like this?"
"That I was one lucky guy?"
"Dive."
"I'm getting..." He stood up and pulled Lea to her feet. "But ya know, I was comfy."
"I know. I'll see ya in 10." Lea said walking out the door and into Wildwing. "Hey, Wing."
"Hi. Is Nosedive up yet?" He asked.
"Yep. I've gotta go shower."
"Hey." Dove responded. Lea smiled as she snatched some of his bacon. "HEY!" Lea smiled again.
"Since when do you eat breakfast?" Duke asked her.
"I'm hungry." She complained. "And airplane food sucks." Mallory rolled her eyes. "Do we have anything to eat in the 'fridge?"
"I think there's some pizza left from the other night."
"COOLNESS!" Lea jumped up and ran for the 'fridge.
"What time do you have to be at the airport?" Phil asked.
"In about two hours."
"Are you packed?" Phil asked. Lea nodded her head. "You've got your tickets?"
"Yes."
"You're ready to go then?"
"Yes, Uncle Phil. May I please finish my food now?"
"Sure."
"You want a piece?" Lea asked Dive.
"Sure. After all you stole my bacon." Lea smiled.
"Yep, and it was good too."
"Brat."
"You've got it."
"Don't worry about me. I've flown before. This is NO big deal."
"She's right, Phil. She's a big girl. She can take care of herself." Nosedive told him.
"Thank you." Lea said still sounding a little exasperated.
"No, problemo."
"Flight 231 to New York, is now boarding. Please have your tickets ready."
"That's me, guys. I'll be seeing you in two weeks, k?"
"Sure thing, Kitten. Be safe ok?" Duke told her.
"You bet. Well see ya." Lea waved a little as she walked a way.
"I'm going to miss her." Nosedive complained.
"Me too, Kid. Me too."
