It was a beautiful day in Anahiem, but not so beautiful for Nosedive. He and Mook were engaged in a nasty argument on the differences between Puckworld and earth. "Noooo but, Puckworld had way better video games. Dive argued. "Look Dive, you have been rambling on all day lets just drop it man," Mook was now really getting fed up with this day, "Look why don't you talk to that Duck coming out of the sewer system, I am sure she knows about Puckworld and besides she's your type, sewer scum!" Mook stormed off. Dive kicked himself he had never heard Mook like that and didn't mean to upset her. Then he did a double take, a Duck coming out of the sewer system?! He see's a muddy figure and presuses it. It jumps into a nearby stream to reveal a white duck with long blond hair with a blue streak in it and sharp blue eyes. Dive watches her closly as she comes to the bank. But before he can move, the unknown Duck flips him onto his back. "Hi the names Arista, yada yada yada, and i hat peeping toms! So answer me a few queation like Where the hell am I !?." "Well toto," Dive replied, "you ain't in Puckworld anymore. Welcome to what can be the most boring place in the know Universe, Earth. But save your story about how you got here for the others." Dive bagan leading Arista to the pond. Arista looked around nervously then brightened a little as they passed some shops. "They have comic books here?!" she said uplifted. "Couldn't live without them. You like them too?" Arista slowing as they reached the Pond doors responded, "Oh yeah! In fact from what I heard of you we have much in coomon. But most stories are somewhat far fetched on you guys coming here..." Arista' voice triled off as she saw Zelda. She droped into a fighting stance and drew a puck launcher. "What do you want saurian slimebag?" "Stop. I am a dragon, for one who is often mistaken for slime, and two I am with the ducks! The question is who are you and what do you want? Zelda dischustedly snarled. If there was one thing she hated it was being called a saurian slimebag. "I have to talk to your leader. It's important" she cried. In a puff of smoke Quaker Jax made a daziling enterance into the room. "Whats with this take me to you leader stuff? It is so overdone by aliens. And besides Wildwing is on a hockey opener confrence, thanks to Phil. A few of us stayed behind, but we are glad to help you." he said. Arista sat down. "Puckworld knows some of the duck coming to earth, althought much is only rumores. We , as in a group of Ducks against saurains found a hole, or a dimensional gap that links our wourlds. Here Dragoous could get to Puckworld. It must be contained before he finds it, so I was elected to tell you guys." Let me guess it comes out of the sewers," said Dive. "We must invesitgate it but I feel we should wait for Tanya with her skills and Wildwing with his mask. But for now we can put a servanlance camera on it and offer you a bed and defiently shower. "Then Qj will introduce you to the other members here" Zelda said. Arista sighed, she was thankful for the help but knew she couldn't waste anther day. She also knew she couldn't tell the others though. She would take the hospitaltiy but knew she coulnd't stay and couldn't tell the ducks that. "Right this way," Qj pointed to the bathroom and made a bar of soap appear in his hand. "I suggest you clean up, no offense but you smell worse than Dragonesses breath. And that's pretty bad!" Arista smiled. "I love your magic my father use to be a magician, but he died when I was young. "Thanks for everything." "Ahhhh it is nothing, it's great to have another duck who shares my interests." Said Dive. "Yeah well I hope this some how keeps you out of trouble. Malory is still made aobut you putting worms in her boots." Said QJ. Arista laughed and walked into the bathroom. "Yeah," she said to herself, "I hope I can keep him out of trouble too. But how can I if I keep getting myself into messes."

Later while the other ducks slept, she decided to put her plan into action. She grabbed some explsoives and ran out into the streets. Despite her sneekyness Dive had expected her to do something like this and so was ready to follow. "What are you doing Arista, you know we must wait for the others." Dive called out. Not stopping to turn, Arista replied, "I have to stop that hole now. Consider it's an adventure. Come if you want, but I can't go back." Dive ran to catch up and they both fell into a set up trap. Arista fell on a sharp rock which tore a cut in her side. "You o.k.?" Dive yelled. " I'll live. My litte adventures seem to get me hurt a lot and my clumsyness. Since then I have become a nurse but I will need some better bandages then some of my pant leg soon, how 'bout you?" Arista called back. "Could be better. But let my ask you one quetion. If your adventures always seem to get you hurt, why did you go on this one?!" Dive yelled frustrated. "Because," and evil looking duck and dragon snarled," she did not want us to come through the hole." "Cresh and Gazor," Arista growled. " We are off to find Dragoness." The evil pair continued. "Awwwwww man," Dive yelled, "I think I find a friend like me and she turns out to be a liar who almost gets me killed. I knew you were hiding something. I better call the guys on my com." He calls and a tierd Duke answers, "Dive, wahtz up, its midniht?!" "I am near the sewer in a trap." Answered Dive. "How did that..." "Hellllllllooooooooooo, umm.. no time!!" interupted Arista. "Okay I wil wake the others and we will be right there." finished Duke. The ducks jump on the duckcycles and are therer in a flash. "Anybody got a rope?" asked Zelda. "I think Arista's cut is too deep for her to be able to climb." Dive pointed out. "Okay then we use magic," said QJ. In a wild spark QJ appeared at the bottom of the pit. "And what more to brighten someone up then magic. Hold on you two." And in another flash they were at the top." "How does he do that," Arista said shocked. "But, never mind its gonna take a lot more than magic to get us out of this one." "Yeah, for starters you teling us the truth," said Dive. Arista sighed,"I didn't want to admit that this was my fault, I thought you would hate me, but the truth must be told I suppose. There were some evil ducks my organization against the evil saurians were trying to stop, who were trying to take over for Dragoness. My best friend Sabby and I were spying on thier new weapon when we were caught. They wanted to use my friend as a guine pig for thier new weapon but as they tried fire it I kicked it out of some goons hands, and it fired at the ground. The blast somehow made the dimensional hole. I tripped and fell in and Gazor tried to follow, but only a duck can go in one way and a dragon and saurian the way back. And now because Cresh, a duck held on to Gazor a Dragon they are both here and have the ability to go both ways together. And now they are looking for Dragones!" "You realy should have told us, we are all like a family or a team." said Zelda. "You mean.."Arista started. "Your one us now. Despite any uhh, past crimes," Duke said,"So lets move!"

Arista jumped behind Dive on a Duckcycle and they all race to head off Cresh and Gazor. They find them filming the hole to take proof to Dragonous. Dive rides by and Arista kicks the two back through the hole together. Gazor snatches Arista and Dive but Zelda catches them. "Thanks," Arista pants,"They would have killed me if I went back. Now it's time to make sure they no one uses this hold for evil again." She throws TNT to the one side them QJ places some on the street. "There is a earth shatering explosion then silence. "Is everyone alright?" Duke called out. No one is hurt except for inside. "Well I guess that's that," Arista said sadly. "You're worried about your friends in Puckworld aren't you?" Dive said. "Yeah," Arista replied, "but they are tough" They can keep things going." "I also miss my friends. I was actually hoping this would be our future way home, but it was too dangerous." Dive admitted. "Sounds like we both could use a friend. I am sorry about not telling you the truth."

"No problemo my numero uno duckola." Dive comforted. "Friends," Arista smiled. "The best" Dive replied. "Now, let's ge back to the pond for your bandages. Later I'll show you my comics and we can play video games, QJ too, and you can tell me what Puckworld is like now." "ALLRIIIIIIIIIGHT!" Arista said happily, "This is gonna work out just fine!"
