Birds Of A Feather - Migration Fanfic

Chapter 5

The day felt long... it actually dragged!

Gwen was being very 'sarcastic' to me, answering everything I said to her with a hard snarky voice.

I knew she was mad... but what could I do?

Just say sorry! My mind yelled at me in thought, and that you LOVE your little sister!

I shook my head hard, ignoring the advice of my head and soul and any other part of my body that felt something more.

Gwen eventually just waded through the waves, me keeping close by in case another shark decided it wanted duck for a snack.

"Gwen..." I groaned, and she only shook her head away, holding herself up high in position. I sighed exasperatedly but little did I know that things were just about to change.

"Who." I slammed into Gwen when she said this, her eyes going wide as a blue strong male duck dived into the ocean before rising back up in a harpoon-like soar and lifted to the sky again, a fish in his beak, "WHO. IS. THAT?!"

I cocked an eyebrow up confused as Gwen shoved me away and she just stared like a zombie at this other duck.

A duck that looked TOO old for her, if you ask me, but seemed close to the same age as me.

"Why?" I asked her then, and she glared back at me before ogling the duck up ahead, "Do you like him?"

"Yes." Is what she said, straight away with no doubt, "He is so-"

"Hot-?"

"COOL!" She then yelled in return and I only stared at her, befuddled.

The young male duck seemed to notice our eyes were on him and he just swallowed his fish whole before flying over to us and landing next to us on the waves.

"Hello!" He shouted, full of energy and zest for life, "You must be Dax!"

"Er...?" I said back in return, how did this guy know me? "How do you know me-?"

"QUIET, DAX!" Gwen hissed at me, looking at the other duck like he was an Adonis or something, "I'm GWEN! GWEN MALLARD!" She then screamed at him and he only laughed in such a charming way.

"Nice to meet you, Gwen,"

"MALLARD!"

"Gwen Mallard!"

"Huhhuhuh!" She sighed heavily, almost fainting but I caught her back before she looped over and fell into the ocean, under the water.

"Sorry, again," I butted in fast, still looking at him and his rippling good looks, "WHO are you?"

"I'm part of Kim's flock," He just said simply, winking at Gwen and she blushed, again nearly fainting once more, "And SHE has not stopped talking about you!"

"Oh," I said, my own cheeks going red now too, "Cool!" I squeaked.

"Yeah, cool," He said back, slightly coldly and I had to wonder why? Only moments ago he had seemed so suave and ready to meet us.

"Well, my name is-"

"Dax, yeah, I got that," He only said with a cool smile, winking at Gwen again and Gwen only giggled like a babbling buffoon, "I'm Max,"

"Max?!" I squeaked again, shocked at how similar his name was to mine!

"Yeah, like Dax, only better," He said, not even looking at me as he spoke. Gwen and I glanced between one another and she only whispered to me in a hasty voice.

"I've found my sugar daddy,"

"STOP." I said to her annoyed, "Do you even know what that means?"

"Y-yes!" Gwen snapped back at me, and held her head high as she answered, "He will give me candy!"
