The Indecent Proposal
Chapter 3:
"Well this drive is certainly interesting." Thought Mallory. Wildwing was driving a little fast, his hands gripped the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles were even whiter than their normal white. "How is that possible?" Mallory glanced over at Phil to see him grumbling angrily at his phone. He saw her looking at him and said "Don't worry Mallory! You'll never have to see that snake again. How dare he do such a thing! I'll sue!"
"Phil lets just drop it." Said Mallory. "I really don't want to think about this anymore."
Wildwing growled. "Mallory, I think that maybe you should stop those swimsuit photo shoots for a while."
"What! Why!" Said Mallory slightly offended.
"Because this kind of thing didn't happen before all that. Ever since you did those photo shoots there have been incidents. Like that guy who tried to jump on you from over the railing and then there was that girl that tried to kiss you! A GIRL! I'm worried its going to get to the point where someone is going to try to kidnap you or worse, hurt you because they can't have you." Said Wildwing. "Your beautiful Mallory and your exotic to humans. This makes you one of a kind and that tends to be desirable. Even Tanya has gotten a few weirdos and lets be honest Tanya isn't the most feminine duck."
"This is an overreaction Wildwing and watch it, there is nothing wrong with Tanya!" Mallory instantly took on the defensive.
"No there is nothing wrong with Tanya but she doesn't look like you, Mallory." Said Wildwing.
Phil choose this moment in interjected. "Wildwing is right Mallory. If you have seen the amount of love letters from fans that I have to go through for you." "Not helping Phil!" Said Mallory.
Phil choose to be quiet after that.
The rest of the drive to the pond was in complete silence. Once they pulled in, Nosedive and Duke were there to greet them.
"So how did it go?" Asked Duke, grinning.
"We're not doing that deal." Said Wildwing. Walking past Duke and Nosedive with Mallory. "Ah come on! What happened Bro? You seem annoyed? Was it a porn offer?"
Wildwing and Mallory looked at his brother stunned. "What?" Asked Wildwing. "Well, Duke and I had a bet you see. I bet that it was a porn offer and Duke bet that it was Playboy."
"Guys!" Yelled Mallory.
"What? You are pretty fine sweetheart. This whole time you have been hiding your light under a hockey uniform." Said Duke with a smirk.
"Yeah Mal, your like a total babe." Said Nosedive, pulling out a magazine from behind his back and opening it to an image of Mallory in a sexy swimsuit on the beach. Her picture was staring back at her temptingly with smokey eyes and pushed back wet hair. "Humm... where am I going to hang this in my room?" Nosedive asked himself. "That's my favorite picture." Commented Duke.
Wildwing grabbed the magazine from Nosedive and bonked him on the head with it. "No where. This is staying in my room and I would appreciate it if you didn't drool over my girlfriend like this."
And with that an annoyed Wildwing walked out of the garage and decided to hit the gym to blow off some steam. Mallory choose not to follow and went to find Tanya. Duke and Nosedive just looked at each other and shrugged. "What was that about? Generally Wildwing lets that stuff roll off his back like water off a ducks'... well you know." Asked Duke. Nosedive just shrugged again.
Down in Tanya's lab, Tanya was working on some new tech when Mallory walked in. "Hey your back already?" Tanya Smiled. "Yeah. What ya working on Tanya?" Asked Mallory. "A new weapon! It should work like a stun gun but we can put it on our puck launchers. Give it a try." Tanya handed it over to Mallory. Mallory went and pointed the gun at a near by dummy. Activating the new stun mode Mallory aimed and fired. When the puck hit the dummy it reacted like it should have... at first. But then the electricity wouldn't go off and now the dummy was catching fire!
"AHHH! Looks like it still needs some work!" Yelled Tanya while running to grab the emergence fire extinguisher and putting out the flames.
"Actually it works just fine if you want your target to experience a brutal death." Mallory snickered.
"Yeah well you know. I love the smell of burning dummy in the morning." Laughed Tanya.
"Hey Tanya, do you think this modeling thing is going to become a problem down the road?" Asked Mallory putting down the puck launcher.
"Ah, I don't know. There was that one guy who jump..I mean drove over the railings." Tanya mentioned while putting the fire extinguisher away.
"Yeah." Sighed Mallory, while leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.
"Why do you ask anyway?" Questioned Tanya.
"Well Wildwing wants me to stop." Mallory looked at Tanya to gauge her reaction. Tanya just nodded in understanding. "Well I can see why he is worried. The fans are getting a little craz, I mean nuts... But if it makes you happy." Tanya tried to smooth over, seeing Mallory furrow her eyebrows.
"What caused this conversation to come up with Wildwing?" Tanya asked.
Mallory seemed to stand straighter at this. "Well..." She began, "The deal that was supposed to happen today turned out to be some business man wanting to sleep with me." Mallory decided to get right to the point.
Tanya's reaction was instantaneous. "WHA! Your not even the same species!"
"Yeah. Wildwing was furious." Mallory stepped away from the wall she was leaning against and walked over to Tanya.
"Maybe you should stop for just a little while, Mallory. At least until things start to calm down." Nudged Tanya.
Mallory groaned. "Yeah I guess it can't hurt to stop for a bit. You know I thought that I would hate it, being surrounded by a bunch of prissy bitches but it actually was really fun and the people were really interesting." Mallory took a moment of contemplation before adding on, "Please don't tell Phil I said that." Tanya just laughed.
After her talk with Tanya, Mallory went to find Wildwing. He wasn't in the gym or the rec room, so the next place to check would be his bunk. Walking up to his door Mallory took a moment before knocking. "Hey Wildwing, you in there?" Mallory heard some movement and then the door swished opened. Wildwing had just finished showering and dressing. He was wearing some pajama pants and a t-shirt. A towel was hanging around his neck and the mask wasn't on his face. Making Wildwing look more friendly and approachable.
"Hey Mallory. Whats up?" Wildwing asked in a neutral voice and expression.
"He's annoyed." thought Mallory. "Look I thought about what you said and I'm going to stop modeling for a while. At least until things cool down."
The tension seemed to drop right out of Wildwing. "That's all I'm asking for." He smiled down at her. "I have a hard time staying mad at her anyway." Wildwing couldn't resist the thought before it popped into his head. Mallory turned to walk away but Wildwing grabbed her hand. "Wait." Mallory turned to him. "Yeah?"
"Come in. It's been kind of a rough day for both of us. Let's watch a movie." Wildwing offered gently. Mallory smiled and took his offer. Mid way through the movie both ducks lost interest in it in favor of eachother. Small kisses turned more passionate and then turned into heavy petting. Wildwing felt the need to show Mallory who she belonged with and made dominating love to her for two hours until they fell asleep contently in eachothers arms. Make-up sex was always good.
The next day all the ducks were on the ice by 7am for practice. Everyone was practicing passing the puck around and running drills. Duke noticed Mallory seemed a little stiff. "Long night sweetheart?"
Instead of giving a verbal tongue lashing Mallory choose 'finesse' and hit a hard slap shoot right at Dukes head. Duke luckily was able to dodge it. "I'll just take that as a yes." Duke said while putting some distance between him and Mallory. Mallory just smiled and nodded.
Wildwing saw this interacting and couldn't help but smirk behind his goal make. "Couldn't have said it better myself." He thought. The buzzer went off, signaling the end of practice."Practice is over. Hit the showers team." Announced Wildwing.
Everyone started to skate off the ice when they heard clapping! They all turned around to see none other than Thomas Maximums standing with the two business men from the meeting and some personal security.
"Your all very talented. I can see why the fans go nuts over you." Said Thomas
"YOU!" Yelled Mallory, pointing her finger at him in an accusing manner. Tanya looked to her friend in concern. "Was this the guy from yesterday?" Almost as if he read her mind the man answered for her.
"Yes, afraid so. I wanted to apologized to you and Mr. Flashblade for the other day. That could have been more... eloquently put."
"There was no way that you could make that proposal eloquent enough that we would except it, Mr. Maximums." Wildwing growled. The team looked to him in confusion, all except for Tanya, who glared at this presumptuous man.
Grin noticed Tanya's glare but choose not to say anything. It seemed that Duke, Nosedive, and himself were the only ones in the dark about whatever was happening. If the others wished to share then they would.
The man now known as Mr. Maximums held his hands up in mock surrender. "Please I didn't come here to fight. I came here to apologize. That's it."
Wildwing and Mallory looked at eachother and then back at Mr. Maximums. "Well thanks but we have things to do. I trust you can see yourself out." Said Wildwing ready to leave and unwilling to accept this man's apology. After taking the roll as leader, Wildwing found that he was an alpha male and someone propositioning his female went beyond ruffling his feathers. He found himself getting aggressive and wanting to put the said lesser male in his place. If he didn't have such good control of himself, he would be hissing.
"Of course, right after I talk with you manager." Said Thomas Maximums as he turned away to find Phil Palmfeather's office.
"Wait what do you want with Phil?" Questioned Mallory.
Thomas smile a wicked smile that the team couldn't see. "Well we have a bit of a problem. You see your stadium was technically built on land that wasn't owned by the same man who owned the stadium. That means this building was placed here without legal consent by the land owner." Thomas Maximums explained.
"Oh no!" Said Duke.
"So wait who owns the land?" Questioned Nosedive.
Mallory and Wildwing had that sinking feeling in the pit of their stomachs. Then their worst fears were confirmed.
"Well... That would be me." Smiled Thomas Maximums.
All the ducks thought the same thing at the same time."Shit."
