Troy, Moffitt, and Hitch were enjoying a rare relaxing evening and were talking pleasantly as Hitch checked over the jeeps. The relaxed atmosphere was soon broken, "Hey, there's Tully." Said, Hitch. He pointed to their friend, "Comin' kinda fast isn't he?"
"Duck!" Shouted Tully.
Instinctively they all crouched down and were startled when a literal duck ran through their midst, "What in the-" Troy didn't finish his sentence. They scattered as Tully leaped over the jeep and landed back on the ground and then took off once more. "Tully!" Troy yelled, but he was already out of hearing distance. "Hitch, you know anything about this?"
"Nope," Replied Hitch hurriedly wiping his hands off, "But I'm fixin' to find out!" And saying so he took after Tully.
Troy and Moffitt slowly turned to look at each other and both rolled their eyes while sighing. "I should be used to it, but... Why does this always happen to us?"
"We are forever destined Troy, come on, let's go get something to drink." Troy consented and they hopped up on a camel and steered it toward a bar.
"Tully!" Called Hitch rounding a corner. He skidded to a stop seeing his friend cornering the duck. It suddenly bolted and managed to push through his legs, "I got it!" Hitch shouted. He dove and came up empty-handed. They managed to back it in the corner again and they stood eyeing it warily, "Well?" Asked Hitch, "What exactly do you want this duck for?" He asked.
Tully paused and scratched his head, "I dunno..." He said after a few moments.
Hitch slapped his forehead, "Really, you go chasing after a duck for no reason?" He shook his head and then dove into the sand swimming off while muttering to himself.
Tully glanced at the duck and shrugged, "Do you think I'm crazy?"
The duck nodded it's head looking rather miffed, "I think you're pretty crazy for chasing me and for talking to me too!" And with that, it stuck its beak in the air and then waddled past.
Before Tully could say anything a goat trotted past and stopped staring up at him, "I agree with the duck. You are crazy!"
.*.*.*.
Tully sat up straight in his bed and then looked around quickly, everything was peaceful and it was still dark outside. "Alright, I'm not gonna eat Hitch's homemade soup before bed ever again."
