a Tiny Toon Adventures Fan Fiction Original The Frightened Duckling The Time of Wonders, Part 4 written by Danny Short (MWCW35D@Prodigy.com) Note: I believe this will be a mini-series story so look out for a very long story ahead of you all. Many people are wondering whether or not "A Looney Beginning" was the actual beginning of Tiny Toon Adventures. Well for one thing, if it was meant to be the beginning, introduce the entire cast. Well, I hope you understand what I'm doing. This story introduces the new class of Acme Looniversity. Enter the world of our next new student, Michelle Duck. Many people in Acme Acres have secrets other people don't want to know. Some not so bad, others the really worse of the problem. For the most, everyone should have a not so bad secret. But there is some one with s secret so bad, he couldn't keep it a secret any longer. That some one is Plucky duck. His parents made him to keep a really big secret to himself. If he should talk about it, his head goes flying. He has a sister. Plcuky's parents believed she wouldn't a chance at life. So they kept her in the basement and they never let her out. They only fed her once a week. Plucky felt very sorry for his sister ever since. His parents wouldn't even name her. So Plucky decided to do the best he could to let her survive. One night at midnight when his parents were asleep, Plucky snuck out of the house taking his sister with him. He decides to run away. But where to. You're about to find out. "Buster. Someones at the door. Let's go and check out who it is." Bill was awaken by knocking on the door. "Fine, fine, fine." mumbled Buster. The two walked towards the door. They were surprised it was Plucky. "Plucky what in the world are you doing here?" said Bill. "It's almost one o'clock in the morning and it's a school night. What's wrong with you?" "Sorry guys." said Plucky. "But this is very important. It really is." Bill and Buster looked at each other. "Do you think you guys can get Jessica and Babs?" "At this time of the morning?" said Buster. "No can do. Babs doesn't want to be awaken by a phone call on a school night." "Jessica lives with her parents, the school principal and teacher." said Bill. "This is not the time to be taking about something important." "It's very important." said Plucky. "And I mean important. I need all four of you guys to help me." "Tomarrow afternoon, alright?" said Buster. "That's final. Now go home and getsome sleep." "That's the problem." said Plucky. "I ran away from home about this important thing. Can I sleep over?" The next afternoon, all five met at the school park after class. Buster and Bill were very sleepy. "So I hear Plucky slept over last night." said Babs. "That's a school night for crying out loud. What's the deal?" "It's something very important I must tell you guys." said Plucky. "It's a dark secret my parents told me not to tell at all. It's very serious." "Bill told me you wanted to tell us at one o'clock in the morning last night." said Jessica. "It should very important. So what's the secret you got to tell us?" "Well it's something I'm never going to forgive my parents for." said Plucky. "But the truth is... I have a sister one year younger than me." Everyone was shocked. "By that is a dark secret." said Bill. "You never told us about her on single bit. How come we never seen here." "My parents thought she would never make it in life and have a rough time." said Plucky. "So they stuffed her in the basement for fifteen years." "Holy smokes!" said Buster. "They kept your sister in the basement for fifteen years just because they thought she didn't have a chance? That's stupid." "And she doesn't have a name." said Plucky. "My parents just call her poor little one. It's so wrong." "You bet it is." said Jessica. "Poor little girl. We have to help her. This is a very sad thing. I got it. I have my parents take a look at her." "It maybe a very bad idea." said Plucky. "If my parents know that I snuck her out of the basement, my head will never speak again." "So it's that serious." said Jessica. "I still think we go to my parents, but I see if I can get them to not tell your parents." "Now before we do anything, are you sure your parents don't want people to know this?" Lola, Jessica's mom, questioned Plucky because he usually is a joker around school. "Honest to god if I'm not telling th truth my lighting strike me now." said Plucky. Nothing happened. "Well, I guess we can take a look at her." said Bugs, Jessica's dad. "She may be a little frightened because she doesn't know what was outside that basement she was in. So where is she." Plucky picked up the rocked shaped pile of blanket and unwrapped it. "What a small creature." said Lola surprised. "She must have been thrown in there when born. This is how toons end up when this happens." Michelle was a small little duck with light pink feathers. She was shivering because she didn't know any one in front of her. "If I remember correctly," said Jessica. "I think the only way she'll grow is if she has enough knowledge to go to school." "Correct Jessica." said Bugs. "Looks like you're going to have to grab every friend of your's. This is going to be a while." For the next week Jessica and Plucky got Buster, Babs, Bill, Fifi, Brad, Hamton, and Shirley to help them teach Michelle about life. "Buster, Bill. Help on this one." said Plucky. "Let's see if we can help her count." 'Of course this would be tough for the three of us.' thought Buster. "This is called one." said Bill holding a picture of one. "Let's see if you can say one." "wa.. wa... wa...... won. One. One!" To the boys surprised, Michelle not only spoke, but she learned how to say one and try not to give up. "That's great!" said Babs to her surprise as well. "Can you say two? That's the next number after one." "ta... t... t..... oo... to... too... two. Two!" Again, she learned what to do about count very quick. In one day, she learned how to count, add, subtract, multiply, and divide. "Okay, let's see if you can read and spell." said Brad. "Can you say A? That's first." "... eee... iii... aaa... a? A!" Brad helped her with the letters. "M-I-C-H-E-L-L-E!" Michelle! Michelle, Michelle, Michelle!" "And that's you little learner." said Plucky. "You're, like, getting smarter by the minute." said Shirley. "P-L-U-C-K-Y! Plucky! Plucky, Plucky, Plucky!" said Michelle after hearing Plucky and Buster talk. "Brother!" "Wow!" said Hamton. "Looks like you're sister is going to be a very faster learner if we don't give up. "Let's ze. Can you say 'Boun jur'?" said Fifi. Of course the Babs and Shirley were looking at her like it would be tough to say. "Boun jur!" said Michelle. Babs and Shirley were shocked to hear Michelle say that. "Boun jur, brother!" Michelle said to Plucky Soon, Michelle began to grow as she began to learn. Once she got enough knowledge to enter school, she was as tall as Plucky. "You did it girl!" said Babs in her best moods for fun. "You're going to be a smart girl now!" "Oh thank you Plucky!" said Michelle. "Thank you very, very, VERY much!" Of course she gave him a hug. Did you think she was going to jump around all day? The big day came. Plucky, Buster, Babs, Jessica, and Bill escorted Michelle to Acme Looniversity. She was very happy. "I think I'm liking it already." said Michelle. "It's going to be great here I hope." She was shown her locker which was next to Plucky's. "Except two students you dare not want to meet." said Bill. "One is a rich brat who hates everyone. The other wants almost every student here as her pets." "Gee, I wish you guys told me earlier." said Michelle. "I could have been more prepared." "Speaking of those two trouble makers," said Jessica. "Elmyra is heading this way." Everyone except Plucky and Michelle ran off to class. "Come on she's the one who thinks all the students here make perfect pets." said Plucky. The two ran off. "Ohhh." said Elmyra. "A new aminal to hug and kiss and lover forever and ever and ever." "Oh be quiet you idiot!" Montana Max walked off towards his class room where Bill, Jessica, and Brad await. "Welcome to class, brat." said Brad. Remember, both are rich and Monty hates it when there's other people as rich or richer than him. "Maybe I should make you change your mind about going to school here." said Monty. "What was that?" said Brad, teasing Monty. "You learned to speak? What a trick you can finally." Everyone started laughing. Monty sank in defeat. "That was a close one." After school, Bill and Jessica decided to go with Plucky and Michelle. Babs and Buster caught up with them a few seconds later. "What a week we're having." said Plucky. "I hope nothing wrong happens in the next few seconds." That's the bad news. "Kids!" It was Lola. She spotted the six of them heading for Jessica's. "I got bad news. Plucky's parents called. They're looking for the two of you." "I knew it." said Bill. "Here comes the worse thing that has ever happened since Plucky ran away." That moment, Bill dad, Bob, came. "Plucky's dad called." said Bob. "I don't know what's going on, but I'm believeing it's involving you." "It is, Bo." said Lola. "About a month ago Plucky ran away with his secret sister. Bill and the tothers pitched in the help her know more. Look, lets talk about inside." The afternoon, everyone went to Plucky's to talk about the very big matter of Michelle's life and Plucky's head. "This doesn't involve the rest of you guys." said Plucky's dad. "You can go home now." No one did. "Mr. Duck, I would like to hear your side of the story." said Bugs. "It's the matter about your daughter." "Look, I said it doesn't involve the rest of you." said Plucky's dad. "This is the matter my wife and I can handle." "Not any more." said Bob. "This little girl has been kept away from a life since birth. Plucky said that you thought she didn't have a chance at life. What's your side?" "That's partly true." said Plucky's dad. "But also the matter of her attending something that will make her lose herself." "If it wasn't for me, my husband, your son, and his friends, she would have remained in a position of losing herself." said Lola. "My little girl shouldn't be outside or else she might be in danger." said Mr. Duck. "Plucky is not to the task of protecting her." "That's where you're wrong dad." said Michelle. "Plucky has been taking care of me like a true brother and like a father. He even gave me a life." Mr. Duck thought quietly. He never thought he would hear daughter speak in a way he never thought possibly. "Plucky named me Michelle and that's much better than little girl." "I'll think about." said Mr. Duck. "I want my children, Mr. and Mrs. Bunny in my house. No one else." All the chosen went inside. Everyone else felt happy. "So," said Bill, breaking a long silence. "I am little hungry after a long day's work. Anybody want pizza?" Michelle was excepted, by her parents, to have a life forever. Plucky decided to share his room with his sister. They made a great brother and sister since then. Wait a minute! I'm going in to the future. Stupid me. I forgot about the final chapter in "The Time of Wonders Series." Tell you more when it happens.
