Christmas Wishes

Chapter I

It was a cold, wet day in Kinkan town. School was out for a week and Ahiru had no where to stay. Usually she would stay at school in times like these but this week no students were allowed to stay in their dorms, it was Christmas break and everyone was told to go home for the holidays. One problem, Ahiru didn’t have a home. But Ahiru had a plan and she hoped it would work.

Thunder roared overhead and Ahiru sprang forward in surprise.

“Quack!” she exclaimed, “oh great!”

With a red glow of light Ahiru disappeared and all her clothes fell to the ground. All was quiet and still for a moment then the clothes started to move and a small yellow head appeared out from the hem of her school uniform.

“Quack!” she said in an annoyed tone, of course the rain had stopped and no where in sight was there a pool of water for her to transform back.

‘Well this wasn’t part of my plan…’ she thought as she gathered up her clothes in a bundle and continued to trudge on to her destination. Suddenly she felt hot breath tickling the back of her neck.

“Qua?” she said as she slowly turned around, “QUACK!” she panicked. Standing behind her was the biggest dog she had ever seen. He growled at her. Ahiru gulped and tried to think of what she could do. The dog leaned closer and barked in her face.

“Quack!” Ahiru exclaimed as she jumped up in the air. The dog continued to bark.

“Qua! Qua! Qua! Qua quack! QUACK!” Ahiru said as she waddled down the street as fast as she could. To her dismay the dog followed and barked incessantly at her. The dog bumped her and she went rolling head over heels into the wall of a building.

‘Oh hreat.’ she thought. The dog continued to bark. The door opened behind her and she fell inside.

“What the!” Fakir yelled, ‘get out of here you dog!” he yelled. Ahiru waddled out of sight and Fakir shut the door after scaring the loud dog away. He muttered something under his breath and returned to what he had been doing before the dog had interrupted him. Ahiru hid her clothes behind a chair and out of curiosity she snuck out to see what Fakir was doing.

He was…cooking?

“Quack!” Ahiru exclaimed in surprise, she covered her beak with her wing when she realized her mistake. Fakir heard the quack and turned around to see what was the matter. Ahiru scurried under the table and hid, she nervously waited to see if Fakir would find her. A minute passed and she relaxed slightly, perhaps Fakir hadn’t heard her after all.

“Ah-ha!” Fakir said as he peeked under the table, “I found you.”

“Quack! Quack! Don’t do that! You scared me! ’’she said.

Fakir gave an amused laugh, “I can’t understand what you’re saying lil duck.” he said softly. For some reason he was not as harsh as he usually was.

“Quack! Quack quack! (put me down now!).” Ahiru shouted at him. Fakir smiled and just made sure he didn’t drop her. He sat her on the counter and muttered something to himself again. He then turned to Ahiru and said, “You’re wet little duck let me get you something to dry you off with.”

As soon as Fakir left the room Ahiru panicked. She stood up and ran around the counter flapping her wings.

“Quack! Quack! (What do I do! What do I do!)”

Fakir chose the wrong moment to walk back in the room.

“QUAAAAAACK! (Not good!)” Ahiru screeched as she stepped too close to the sink. Loosing her balance she fell into a sink full of water.

“Why me?” she muttered as she turned back into a girl.

“What in the?” Fakir yelled in a major state of shock as he witnessed the weirdest scene he had ever watched. To make it worse it wasn’t the first time he had ever seen it. With a soft red glow of light the tiny duck he had held in his hands just a moment before turned into a girl.

“AH- AHIRU WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” he yelled he turned bright red as he turned around to keep from staring at her in all her naked glory. He was completely mortified at the thought of seeing her naked. Again. And just what in the world was she doing at his house?

“Gomen! Gomen!” Ahiru said. Fakir covered his eyes and turned back around. Ahiru giggled when she saw how red he was, for once she could embarrass him instead of the other way around.

“Here! Take this!” he hurled the towel at her blindly and she caught it somewhat clumsily. She climbed out of the sink awkwardly and wrapped herself up in it and pulled it down so it made a mini dress.

“It’s safe now..” she said awkwardly.

Fakir cautiously removed his hand from his eyes and sighed in relief, he sat down in the kitchen chair before he started to yell.

“Why are you here!” he asked her. He gave her a weird and confused glare.

“Uhh…it’s a long story…” Ahiru muttered.

To her surprise Fakir gave her a half-smile.

“This is so not funny…” he muttered. He stood up and walked up the stairs, “Well, the least I can do is give you some clothes to wear…”
