Astro Boyd but Phooey Exists and Shouldn't

Super Powers

Huey Duck finished his story, "And so Boyd went flying with me." Boyd happily nodded in agreement. Phooey Duck smiled and reacted in delighted surprise, "Wowie, now you, Boyd, me, Kildare Coot, and Fethry are the only people I know who act like I do!" Huey cocked his eye, studying his brother more carefully. There was something different. Finally the oldest brother figured it out, "Phooey, You seem happier." Phooey smiled even brighter and moved his sweater sleeves up and down as he spoke, "I'm so glad you noticed big Bwudda, You and Boyd's story has made me feel better about myself!"

B.O.Y.D asked curiously, "Why's that Phooey?" The glitch spun in place in joy as he excitedly explained, "Because lately I've been feeling real bad and like I was going to turn evil or something but now I feel like since Boyd wasn't evil, I am not either! I can make my own choices and my maybe world ending powers aren't a terrible curse!!" The tiny grey bird smiled and nodded in approval of this new personal development on Phooey's part. However the red duckling was more concerned about his brother. The eldest son took his sibling aside to speak more privately. He quizzed carefully, "Phooey, what's wrong?"

The error nervously responded, "What do you mean, big Bwudda Huey?" The junior woodchuck breathed out in worry, "I mean you've been scared and depressed lately, this whole feeling guilty for things you haven't done thing isn't heathly either. Yes, I am glad you got over feeling evil. Still I think you might need to tell somebody something you've been hiding for a long time." The 404 error looked to the ground while fiddling with his sleeves. The typo was worriedly silent. His brother hugged him and spoke, "If You need more time, I will understand."

Phooey stepped away from his bother and fumbled, "Will... Will you believe me even it doesn't make sense what I tell you?" Huey nodded without question. The misprint was a little more desperate as he asked again, "Are you absolutely sure you will believe me no matter what? You won't tell anyone else?" The Woodchuck geasured to swear on his Junior Woodchuck honor. The Anomaly whispered to his brother secretly, "There's something very FOWL about Scrooge's Board of Detectors. I cannot say anymore right now, I'm sorry."

The red cap quickly pleaded in hushed whisper, "Please Phooey, I can listen. I will believe you. Just tell me. Please." The yellow beanie backed away, trying not to cry and forcing a smile. The red shirt went to reach for his brother but he was too far away. The yellow sweater choked out, "I love you, Big Bwudda Huey." Then disappeared. The red bow tie asked worried, "What's going on?" The red eyed duckling breathed hard in stress, "I don't know. He didn't really tell me anything."

The End.
