ooc:// The ducks! Whoot!

ic:// Bobby trailed along behind his fellow ducks, keeping his tiny brown head down, and feebly splashing the pond with his wings. Suddenly coming up with a question to ask his mother, he started swimming faster, trying to get to the front of the line. Unfortunately, he swum into an underwater branch, and was knocked out.

ooc:// Sorry. I have politics on the brain.

[carmella]

((lol!))
"Come on little duckies," quacked the mother duck. She half-turned her head to count her children with yellow eyes. "Molly, Arnold, Fredrica, Ronald, Abigail, Goo, Smelly, and Bo---"
Where was Bobby?
"Bobby my darling!" she cried, executing an expert three-point turn in the water.
The other little duckies began to jump up and down in excitement.

[~Z~]

((...wow... this is... ........))

Abigail turned her brown head when her mother cried out loudly, not really realising what was going on. She flapped her little wings, splashing up the water in excitement. "What's going on?" she asked quickly, fallowing her mother after her sudden turn around.

((... wow))

[Lia]

ooc:// *cracks up* Run out of name ideas, Carmella? Goo:P:P:P Smelly:D:D:D Yes, this is.. ......!

I really want Bobby to reply to Abigail and say "I'm missing."

ic:// Ronald did a slow turn, and splashed into a branch. "B-b-bobby is m-m-issing," he stammered. He wasn't worried about his brother, he just naturally stammered. He ducked ((DUCKED! HAHAHAHA!!)) his head under water, and caught a tiny plankton.

[carmella]

((LOL! Yeah, can you tell?))
"Oh my water weed!" cried Arnold, crashing into Abigail in his excitement.
Meanwhile, Mother Duck plunged her head underwater, looking for Bobby. Unfortunately, she was short-sighted and so when she saw a fish, she mistakened it for Bobby! Paddling down, she caught the fish in her orange beak, and scooped it back above water.
Setting it down, she gave it a little nuzzle, "Bobby, my darling, you should never do that! Look at you, you're all...scaly."
She squinted at the fish, perplexed.

[~Z~]

Abigail flipped over in the water from the impact of her brother, and sputtered coming back up. "You idiot!" she squeaked, shaking the water dropplets from her feathers. She paddled quickly over to her mother, then at what she caught. "Why'd you catch a fishy mom?" she asked, looking at the fish. "We need to find Bobby!"

((-dies-))

[Lia]

ooc:// *cracks up*

ic:// Meawhile, Bobby is dying. He struggles around, surveying the deep, dark, murky water. His baby eyes can see far off, and he spies a lot of little fish, as well as a few pairs of flippers around. The bottom was murky, and filled with sand.

"MUMMY." Ronald orders, "GIVE ME THE FISH." He is a hungry duck,

[carmella]

Mother duck looks down at her fish, blinking.
"Fish?" she asks, realising that it is, in fact, a fish.
"No! My Bobby!"
She throws the fish up into the air and surges forwards, looking for Bobby again. She splashes around where she last saw him until her foot meets something soft and floppy.
She ducks her head beneath the surface...

[Lia]

The young fish flops back into the water, crashes into a pile of moss, and swishes off to find its mother, leaving a glimmer of bubbles behind it.

Bobby spies {{hey, I'm using present tense! }} a fish, and tries to gobble it. His tiny little duck neck reaches out, and he gulps the fish, but then he starts gulping water...

Ronald squeals. "MUMMY! GIVE- QUACK- ME MY- QUACK- FISH BACK" In his anger at not filling his robust belly with more unhealthy fish, he softly glided through the water, and pecked his mother on the cheek with his soft beak. However, unfortunately for poor little Ronald, his mother's head was under the glistening water, so all he ended up with was a mouthful of murky water.

[carmella]

Mother duck waggles her behind and shoots under the water, splashing Ronald. Below, she can see a world of green and waving reeds, like an underwater jumgle. PAddling along with her breath held, she spies a small, yeloow-brown object, wriggling.
Bobby? she thinks.

[Lia]

ooc:// OMG!!!! SORRY CARMELLA!!!! I lost it... xD

ic://
Bobby pops to the surface, but he finds that he is far away from his mother and siblings. "QUAAACK!" he yelled. "QUAAAACK! QUACK QUACK QUACK!!!!" Being the youngest of his siblings, he had a rather limited vocabulary. He wondered where his mother had gone. Spying a fish, he suddenly popped under water again, to try and catch it; he was hungry.

[carmella]

Mother duck draws ina gasp as the yellow thing calls for help, and then goes under again! It must be Bobby! She shoots over to the spot where she last saw him, but he's not there any more.

[Lia]

Now, Bobby is having the time of his life. His breathing organs ((uh... not gills... lungs? ^^)) are functioning perfectly again, and he has no reason to fear. The pond, only recently melted from the winter snows, was freezing and the crispness gave him life. He rolls around under water, and turns a somersault, flipping through the air like a windmill.

[carmella]

((yes, Lia, lungs. Like all birds.))

Mother duck calls all the rest of her little duckies to her. "We have lost Bobby, my dears," she quacks, "But that is no problem. After all, we lost Gertrude and Pelican just last week. We shall have to leave him behind."
She begins to paddle away from where Bobby is playing happily, trail of duckies following her.
