Disclaimer: I could pwn the Loonatics, but I can't own them.

Well…probably not.

Darkness

Two plates of cookies and two pictures later, ("Anyone would stay for Mommy's cookies!" "And your pictures." "These things? (shows professional manga drawings) Nah, I can draw better than that.") Danger Duck was back out on the street, still eating a chocolate chip cookie. It was relatively large, compared to other cookies. Mmm. Cookie.

What? Oh, right, the story. Sorry.

So, he's walking down the street…oh, and then he got ambushed.

Yeah, I'm serious now.

"Get your hands offa me!"

"Sorry, no can do. The boss wants to be seein' ya right now," one of the three sandy haired boys pinning Duck down.

"You're going to have to catch me first!" he shouted before quacking away, making the trio lose balance and fall on top of each other.

"Ow! You're squashing me!" the smallest one cried out.

"Sorry, Joe," the tallest apologized, picking himself and the other two off the ground.

"Where'd he go?" The first boy blinked, and, before he knew it, was on the ground, his arms were pinned down. Looking up, he saw a grinning beak.

"Gotcha now!"

"You're good," the boy said, "but not good enough."

"Wha-"

-crack-

-thud-

The boy got up, rubbing his wrists. "Thanks, Joe."

The smallest boy, 'Joe', smiled at him. "You're welcome! So, what do we do now?"

"We take him to that room we fixed up a few weeks ago, that's what we do," replied the first boy as his tall accomplice lifted Duck onto his shoulder. "Then the boss'll take care of the rest." As he spoke, he drew a circle in the air, a black line of shadows following his finger. When he finished, it gradually grew larger, filling with darkness.

"Do I get to play with the lab now?" Joe asked as the portal took form.

"Why are you asking me?" was the last thing the boy said before the trio and the unconscious Duck disappeared through the portal.

No one noticed the little girl behind the tree.

"...Danny?"

Listening to MIDI files. I like the songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas best, for some strange reason. Awfully distracting. I keep singing and moving my hands along to the music. Which keeps me from typing. Whoops.

I had to pull out my really old notebooks to fins the three boys' names, but I could only find Joe's. I guess I wasn't really planning.

…Why did I name him Joe?

Holy - I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING! This is a new chapter!

…Crap, I still have Move Along to write. And my other two fanfics. And those other fanfics.

LimeWire! Yes.

Jack Skellington! His voice is way too awesome, both singing and otherwise.

Um…Jacovie apparently went boom.

Sorry it's so short. I hope I can get the next chapter up very soon. I'm trying to get as much done as I can.
