Duck Duck Goose Page #4

is getting closer, gah-loop.

And closer, gah-loop. And closer, until...

The terrible, pale, featureless thing,

rose slowly up before them and...

You have, uh, zero parenting skills.

What? But you guys told me...

How was I supposed to know

he was gonna be a baby about it?

Come here, you two. Come on.

Come to Edna, my dears.

You are not my brand of bird.

Fine. I can't win.

I didn't even want to tell a story

in the first place, stupid chickens.

Monsters.

There's no such thing as monsters.

They're down there somewhere.

Can't you feel it?

Yes, yes.

The atmosphere is positively electric.

Did you have to say that? Ahh!

Monsters.

New plan. They'll be fine here.

Okay. Uh, not too bad.

I should be able to fly.

Not now, Stanley.

Not in front of the eggs.

Those are my nuggets.

No! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

What the...

Shh!

Will you quit it?

Look, they'll be better off without me.

Liar!

Don't judge me!

I'm doing the best I can here.

Liar!

They're slowing me down!

It's not like I promised them anything.

Pants on fire!

That'll teach you.

Liar. Liar. Liar. Liar. Liar. Liar.

Oh! I'm out of here! Ow! That hurt.

Uh, what are you doing?

Oh, hi. Hey!

Uh, uh, I'm not doing anything.

Just, um, you know, a little Tai Chi.

You know, limbering up,

uh, you know, a little stretching.

You want to Tai Chi? Or Tai Chao?

Yeah! Feels great!

Got a big day ahead of us,

so, um, let's go. Let's get a move on.

What's for breakfast?

Come on, Chao.

I really hope he grows up soon.

But, the little duck

is just tired my dear.

I was talking about the goose, Stanley.

Um, hello, Goosey McGooseface.

My brother is really hungry.

So? He can eat when we get there.

You have no idea what you're in store for.

No. No. No. Leave me alone!

Holy moly! Jeez! What the heck is... Ow!

You didn't tell me about this.

He's gone completely nuts.

What are we supposed to do?

Hey there, little fella, feeling better?

I must have food right now.

Okay. Not good. Not good at all.

Hold on, little bro.

Food now!

Where the heck are you supposed to find...

What do you think?

No, no. I don't like it!

Better?

- No!

- Uh, uh...

Here you go, kid.

No!

Whoa! Finally.

Ahh!

What is that? That's disgusting!

I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

It's yucky!

I don't like it!

Here you go, buddy.

Whew!

Come on, Peng, let's go.

Now, chicken, tell me again,

where did the goose go?

You have no right to...

Shush, my dear.

You'll wake the baby.

What was his name again?

Oh, yes, that's right...

I think his name is breakfast.

Breakfast?

I'll give you breakfast you...

Put Andrew down right now!

Stanley! My hero!

Oh! Ooh! Ooh!

Which way did they go?

That way.

Can't you guys walk any faster?

Wait, where's Chao?

He wandered off again, didn't he?

What's the matter with him now?

He thinks your gonna leave him behind.

He's frightened.

Why would he think that?

I mean that's crazy.

Look, you know what geese do

when they need help?

- Uh-uh.

- They honk.

All you have to do

is take a lung full of air...

then let it all out in one blast,

like this.

Wow. You've got some mad skills.

Ah. Ah. Ah.

See, it's simple.

Shh!

Follow me.

Wait.

What do you think you're doing?

Wait. Not in here.

Ow. Ouch.

Sorry. Sorry.

Someone help!

He's stealing my bike! Give it back to me!

Whoops! My bad! Sorry!

Huh?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That wasn't that bad.

Stop it!

- Whoa! Ow. Ow. Ah.

- Whoa! Look out!

Whoa!

Look out!

Whoa, that is not a good look!

Ow!

Yuck!

Whoa!

No, no, no, no.

That was close.

Ew.

Gross!

Whoa.

Oh, no!

I didn't sign up for this!

What? What happened?

Oh, meow.

Great.

Uh-oh. Not again.

It's not funny. I mean...

Okay, it's pretty funny.

Oh, great. Now what?

What? That's just a wall, we just walk

around it. I mean, how long can it be?

Yeah, about that...

Are you asleep?

Are you asleep?

Is he okay?

Hmm, I don't know. Sounds like

he's gonna lay an egg or something.

Who would do that? What...

Chao, stop that!

There might be spiders in there.

Piders? I don't see any piders.

Shh.

I can't wait to fly again.

What's it like?

What, flying? Well, I mean, when you're

up there, it's just you and the clouds.

There's nothing like it.

It is complete freedom.

And no-one's got their feathers

in my beak holes.

What?

I hope I get to fly someday.

Of course you will. Why wouldn't you?

Well, everyone said we wouldn't

need to in Pleasant Valley.

Wha... Pleasant Valley?

Well, yeah, that's where we were going

until someone ran into us.

They say it's a peaceful place

where only the best ducks go.

Ow. Ow, ow! I hurt my head.

- Anybody there? Hello!

- Well, Chi,

I don't know how peaceful it's going to be

with Chao around.

Hey, you must have lots

of brothers and sisters?

Nope. They all got taken.

I was the last egg.

Oh. Well, I'm sorry. That's terrible.

Well, I was too young to know.

Besides, the whole flock is really

my family and...

- What?

- Nah, nothing.

I was just realizing what a jerk I was

to my flock, especially Jinjing.

My girlfriend Jinjing.

I kind of messed things up.

Well, did you apologize?

No, I didn't apologize! Of course not.

Why not?

Because you never apologize!

Apologizing is a sign of weakness.

Well that's just dumb.

Plus, if I did she'd... she'd...

- Be your girlfriend again?

- That's a good point.

Yeah, you're pretty smart.

But you know, you don't know everything.

- Like?

- You don't know how to fly. Come on.

Oh, Peng, no. Really, I'm good.

I don't want to.

- Be quiet and reach out your wings!

- No. No.

Come on. It'll be a hop, skip and a jump.

- Here we go. Come on. Flap. Flap.

- Whoa! Whoa, whoa.

Good, good, good. That's good. Great.

- Okay, nice. Oh! Oh, my gosh!

- You're getting it. That's it. You got it.

- Chi, you're a natural.

- I'm flying. I'm really flying, Peng!

Crap. Oh. Oh, no. Ah!

Whoo!

No, no, no! Hey! No! Chao!

Whoa!

Help me, Chi!

I'm really flying!

Ow. Chi, how'd you get up there?

Whoo!

Whoa!

Whoa! Oh, no!

This is crazy! Get out!

I can't believe this. We're flying?

We're literately flying! We're doing it!

This is so cool! Uh-oh.

Look out!

I'm okay. I'm all right!

Luckily I landed on something soft.

Yeah, us, you nincompoop!

You've got a big butt.

I do not have a big butt.

I just... I have very thin legs.

Anyway, come on. Let's go.

I know this is all fun and games

but the leaves mean that winter is coming,

so we got to go!

And winter means snow

and snow is not our friend...

Whoa. Brr. All right, that's it.

All right, the games over.

All right, I'm gonna count to three

and if you're not up here...

Well, you don't even want to know.

One. I said one. Two. All right, three!

You little piranhas!

Ha-ha, gotcha!

Looks like you messed with the... Uh, Chi?

- Yeah?

- Where's Chao?

Ugh, he wandered off. Again.

Outstanding work flock.

We made it to the waypoint with no losses.

Except for Peng that is.

But, uh, we're not giving up yet.
