Nightmares were haunting me that night. One was worse than the next, as I became the roasted meal for the ducks, till becoming their new puck of the upcoming game. The last one was the worst. They wanted to drown me in the sea. Breaking the ice open and pushing me under water. It was Wild wing that did this, in defense I screamed and tried to push him off. Suddenly, the vision turned into a bright light, as he began to repeat my name over and over.
"N/A, wake up...N/A..."
Wide awake, I looked into the eyes of the goalie. He had been trying to wake me for half an hour, but I refused to open my eyes, turning and kicking him off. Completely soaked in sweat, his shirt stuck to my skin, revealing a little too much for my taste. Wild wing, noticing this, looked away embarrassed, "Take a shower first; it is the room over there. I get you some clean clothes." Leaving the room in a hurry, I had some time to look around the room. I been in here before, as I changed my shirt with the one I have on. The bathroom had a towel that was big enough for two of me, assuming that it was the one from Wild wing. I guess he won't mind if I take it, I mean, he didn't seem to mind it that I took his shirt either. The team captain was waiting outside the bathroom, with clean clothes. Mallory, one of the female ducks of the team, gave me her stuff to wear. But the fact that I stood in front of the duck with nothing but a huge towel around me, made him blush lightly. To get out of this situation, he just pointed at the clothes, mumbled that he will wait outside and left again. I shrugged at his behavior; it is not like he saw me naked or anything. To my surprise, the clothes fits well, not perfect but, what shall I expect from tall alien ducks?
Now it was my turn to get uncomfortable, seeing all the team members in the living room.
Their manager was also there; ready to make the first move. If it wasn't for Wild wing, he would have. The goalie asked for everyone not to interrupt, as he grabbed my hand tenderly, leading me towards the empty seat, "First you should know that we do you no harm. So there is no need to be afraid of us. You said that you take full responsibility at what you caused and we are pleased that you do. For this, we decided to give you a punishment that isn't too hard on you."
Phil couldn't believe what he had said, "What are you talking about?! She damaged the stadium, stole and made me lose money!"
Wild wing interrupted his manager, "We pay for her Phil, for this she will work for us."
Now it was his team that didn't like the idea. Duke spoke for the group, "I don't think that we should pay for her screw ups. She caused it, she can pay." The goalie shrugged, "Fine, then I will pay for her." Mallory was the next to stand up, "Wild wing, you can't be serious. She needs to sort out her own mess not us." "She will, but in a different way. If we pay for her, then she owes us all a favor." The duck with the longest hair seems to like the idea, "Owes us eh?" I didn't like the look he gives me. He sure has plenty of things in mind and does the other ducks, according to their looks. Duke saw, as I leaned even deeper into the seat, while my eyes were close to tears. He hits the duck hard, "Do you have to scare her Nosedive?" "Relax man; it is not like I want to make her a slave or something." Wild wing supported Duke, "He is right baby brother, don't scare her like that. Let's give her some time to get used to her new job."
Suddenly, an arm was raised. Tanya, who sat further away, rose from her seat, "How about I give her something to do first. I need someone to give me a hand." The team captain finds it a good idea, but Duke insisted of being the first to give me something to do. Tanya interrupted him, "If you like you can take care of the mess you caused a while back." She referred to the fight with Daddy-o-cool, where Duke damaged the migrator badly. There are still a few things left he didn't fix. Grabbing my shoulder tenderly, he pushed me towards the engineer, "She is all yours." Tanya faced the goalie, "So, can I have her?" Wild wing looked towards me, seeing my body shake with fear, he sighted lightly, "Alright, but don't push her too hard." "I don't think that this is such a hard task for her, trust me."
And indeed it wasn't hard...but extremely boring.
I had to wash the migratory and wax it afterwards. Something tells me, that this is no punishment...it was more of a torture, trying to kill me with boredom. Turning my back to the engineer, she was adjusting something on the duckcycle nearby. Not paying attention to my hands, while washing the vehicle, I didn't see the change in color or the new scrubber I took. Completely focused on the female duck and her activity, I didn't see the mess I caused. But Tanya certainly does, "What are you doing?!"
In panic I dropped the scrubber.
Several scratches were covering the surface of the migratory, including old grease. "You are supposed to take the soft scrubber and this bucket!" She pointed at the item, which stood next to the bucket of old grease, no wonder that this could happen. But for her, it was a disaster. The scratches were impossible to get repaired, grabbing my arm and together, we left the garage.
I fear that the next job will be worse.
