One person has spoken! And that’s all the convincing I need to post this snippet from this WIP on the next story in my Indi-Quack! anthology fic. Some context for this scene: Della and Gandra are getting settled in to Gyro’s lab to work on the Gizmocloud together. Why is just going to be just those two? Because it’s my story and I can write whatever the fuck I want! Also both Fenton and Gyro are there to set some ground rules, well mainly Gyro
Anyway here it is, enjoy:
“Della,” Gyro began as he turned to the duck in question, drawing the attention of both Della and Gandra, “since this is not the first time I’ve allowed you to be in my lab unsupervised and I know what you’re capable of, I’m leaving Gandra in charge.”
“Wow,” Della scoffed whilst crossing her arms in disappointment, “still not over that huh?”
“Are you over the licorice flavored gum?” Gyro countered whilst mirroring Della’s current pose.
“It was BLACK licorice flavored!” Della snapped back.
“That saved your life!” Gyro snapped back.
“Do you even know what black licorice taste like!?”
“Yes! You’re being overdramatic!”
“Oh, that’s just rich coming from you!”
“Oh, grow up!”
“Nah,” Della casually replied, “don’t wanna end up an old man like you.”
“Old!?” Gyro caustically repeated, “you’re two years older than I am, dummy!”
“Look we’re all adults here,” Gandra reminded everyone, “and it’ll just be the two of us. I don’t think it’s really necessary for either of us to be in charge.”
“Well, I think it is and I am leaving you in charge.” Gyro affirmed the hen.
“All right. Since I’m in charge, I say no one is in charge. All in favor.” Gandra then raised her hand, “the ayes have it. No one’s in charge.”
“All right!” Della celebrated, “does that mean I can work with my pants off?!”
Gandra shrugged. “You’ll hear no complaints from me.”
“Uh could you not, Della?” Fenton jumped in before Gyro could, “after all this is a professional workspace.”
The three other birds in the lab stared back at Fenton in disbelief and said nothing, “…”
“…What?”
