How I Lost Drakey

This story hasn't happened yet. But I went forward in time, and found out that it did, so then I thought I'd better write it down, so we'd do it right. If we didn't do it right, then I wouldn't have a story, and it might change the future and the past, cause if we don't do it properly, then we change the future and the past. You better be confused, cause that was the idea of this little intro.

It was the summer holidays. I never needed Drakey much then, I needed him at school when everyone else was ignoring me. He helped a lot then. I never told anyone just how much Drakey meant to me, and I never told anyone around me that he existed. They just wondered why I always had a seeminly empty chair next to me pulled out.

I knew as soon as I woke up that morning that it was time to say goodbye. I rolled over and looked down at Drakey. He stared back at me from his matress.

"I'm going to miss you." I said.

"Likewise."he mumbled.

I'd told him all I knew about being Darkwing over the years. We'd watched his show, we'd read fan fic, we looked at fan art, and I tried to figure out how he did his smoke trick. He'd known that before I'd picked him up, and it was the only thing he never told me. I had nothing left to teach him, and I no londer needed him for compainonship, I'd learnt to make friends.

"We're gonna have to do this properly." I told him. "Remember that fan fic I wrote?"

"No, not that! Why does this have to be so formal? You always have to make a big production out of things!"

"Come on! Get up!"

"Just five more minutes, Mum."

I threw a pillow at him. He threw it back and yelled "Pillow fight!" I jumped down onto his bed, whacking him on the head. I tried again, but he ducked and swung his pillow hard at my legs. I fell over and he pounced and sat on me.

"Yep, yep, yep. You didn't stand a chance against the mighty Darkwing Duck!"

"You're a big star. Now get off me!"

After getting changed and eating breakfast, we took the Dimension Changer and headed down the bush track to the beach. We hid in the sandunes. I'd brought along the story you're reading now, so I wouldn't miss anything. I gazed down at the piece of paper.

"It says we have to sing the theme from "Brotherly Love"."

"WHY?" Drakey wanted to know.

"Cause the words are meaningful." He looked at me scornfully. "That's what it says here!" I cried.

"You're making this up." He grabbed the paper and read it. "This is STUPID!"

"There must be a reason. Come on. Let's not argue."

"Fine." he grumbled.

"No matter where you are, a part of me will always be with you. And no matter where you are. A part of you will always be with me too." we sang, me high, and him low.

"Do you think that's the right words?" I asked.

"Who cares? We did it. What's next?"

I looked at the bit of paper he'd given back to me. "It says we have to jump up and down and make monkey noises." I looked at him. He sighed. We jumped up and down and made monkey noises.

"Well, that was pointless. Next." Drakey sat down and crossed his legs.

"We have to say "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck. As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood." three times fast."

I said it easily, but Drakey ended up with wood that chucked woodchucks. He gave up after five minutes. I decided he was close enough. "Now we have to hop three times down the steepest sandune." We did it, and finaly got back up to the top, puffing and sandy.

"Well, at least it wasn't three times up the steepest sandune." Drakey tried to look on the bright side. I looked at the piece of paper, and groaned.

"Oh no. It doesn't..."

"It does."

We hopped up the sandune three times. We collapsed. After ten minutes Drakey grabbed the sheet of paper. "What does this have to do with saying goodbye? The first one was relevent, I guess, but the rest are just wierd." He read aloud what the paper said. "Please turn over." He turned it over. He read what it said, his voice getting higher and higher."Only do these things if you are gullible wierdos. See you soon, Gosalyn." He punched the sand. "Why didn't you tell me Gos gave you this. Now she can laugh her head off at us!"

"Well, how was I meant to know?!"

"You should have read ahead!"

"So should you!"

We looked at each other and laughed.

"Punch her for me when you meet her, okay?" I giggled.

"No problem!"

We sat there for awhile.

"Well, I better go."

"Guess so." I stood up and turned on the Dimension Changer. "Go straight to the time top. DON'T go to any different times, just go home, got it?"

"Yes Ma'm!" He saluted.

I finished setting the machine. I put it down, and a fuzzy hole in the air opened up. I gave Drakey a bear hug, and he returned it.

"See you in a couple of decades." he whispered.

"Yup. Bye Drakey. Thanks." I was starting to cry.

"No, thank you. Bye Rachel." He stepped into the fuzzy hole, and they both dissapeard.
