Chapter One
The next morning, Ace brought in the mail and set it down on Sigmund's work desk. "One of those envelopes looks pretty important, Sigmund." he said as he looked over the draft drawings regarding the New Puck City embassy project that Mallard and the other ducks were putting together. "Looks like all those drafting classes paid off."
Sigmund was in his human form for a change since handling the pencils was a bit easier without his feathers and fur getting in the way. "The ducks want to someday get families started and they don't want to be in the way of the humans who might take offense to alien ducks taking over the neighborhood. So the plan is to create a United Nations sanctioned land for the ducks to colonize; a replacement environment much like Puckworld. And I've chosen to help them build it and help them to run the place especially since all indications from Canard One and the daily scans he does on me point to my someday being permanently stuck in duck form like the others. I know you care about me, Ace, but this is important to every duck we're taking care of. It will be slow at first but think about the bigger picture... a chance to set up proper law enforcement from the beginning in a new civilization. The Puck Police already look up to you, Ace. And Nosedive said your knowledge of law enforcement really helped him to learn what law did what."
Sigmund then picked up the top most letter and opened it. "This is from some English law firm in Skipton, England. That's the place where my parent's clan originated from. It says that after my parents passed away, a few more relatives also passed away and since I am the sole survivor of the clan, the day I awoke from my coma I became eligible for the inheritance. Great. It also says that they know about my accident but if I can resume my human form, I should show up human to make it easier to prove I am really Sigmund Wyndtrough. And because of what Canard One told me, if I am to claim this inheritance, I need to go over there as soon as possible. This will be an interesting vacation. I hope Nosedive will be free to come along."
Ace said, "If you are going to meet with barristers, don't go over there dressed like a street punk. Wear a business suit and look proper at least."
Sigmund grinned. "As my father found out when he was alive... business suits are hot and itchy. Those dress shoes are often too tight for my big feet. But for you, I'll wear it this once."
Ace grinned back. "And you can use the family's corporate jet to get over there and back so you don't get lost in the Atlantic."
"I better place a call to the pond then and ask if Nosedive will be free," said Sigmund. "And Zero can pilot the corporate jet for us since he is a pilot."
One phone call later, it was Phil who answered the phone. "Speak to me, Boobie."
"Hey Phil! It's me, Mallard! How would you like to get the Mighty Ducks to a photo opportunity in Jolly Old England? I have to head over there to talk to some barristers regarding my family inheritance and I was wanting to take Nosedive with me at least. Getting posters of the ducks in front of Stonehenge might be a money maker for the fans."
Phil then replied, "One of the ducks' enemies is locked up in the Tower of London over there, Mal baby. I can ask them if they would like to do it with you but I'm not sure if they would want to. I have trouble getting them to agree to do any publicity stunt I arrange for them."
Sigmund then said, "Just tell them the truth, Phil; I need my partner over in Northern England. Maybe I can get the ducks to dress up Renaissance style at one of the local fairs. I am sure I can tempt Duke into playing Robin Hood."
Phil replied, "Hold the line, Mallard, I'll go ask them right now. They are on the ice practicing for this Saturday's game." And while Sigmund was placed on hold, Phil headed out to the edge of the rink. "Wildwing, guys! Get over here! Mallard called us!" Once the ducks skated over to find out what was up, Phil said, "Mallard has to go to Northern England in regards to his family inheritance. He wants to take Nosedive with him, but he came up with a great photo opportunity for you guys to do in England while he is speaking to barristers. He said you guys can get your picture taken at Stonehenge and dress up and have some fun at a renaissance fair. On the bright side, those fairs have prizes and loads of good food. I could get some great cuisine over there. What do you say... for Mallard? He's waiting on the phone, guys. I have to tell him something."
Wildwing grabbed Phil's phone and deactivated hold before saying, "Mallard? Wildwing here. Is Phil on the level?"
Sigmund smiled. "As strange as it sounds, Wildwing, he is telling the truth this time. So how about it, do I get the ducks for a few days in Jolly Old England? We will be up near Sherwood Forest primarily. In return, I will see about having Carol perform a pre-game show this Saturday on the ice. The fans loved it the first time. Please...? Better be glad you can't see me making the sad puppy dog eyes."
Wildwing looked at his team. "Who all is up for accompanying Mallard to Northern England? He is asking for Nosedive but he suggested we could all go and Phil is actually looking forward to making the trip as well. We would be back before Saturday. In exchange, we get Carol and Mallard for a Saturday pre-game show. And guys, what the heck is sad puppy dog eyes?"
Phil said, "Boobie... it is a fate worse than death. If Mallard can do those eyes, then he wins."
The rest of the ducks all nodded their heads in agreement to make the trip with Mallard. Then Wildwing said into the phone. "You win, Mallard. You get the Mighty Ducks for a few days in England. When will you be leaving?"
Sigmund smiled again. "The rest of us will be heading out in the Wyndtrough corporate jet, but you guys can follow in the Aerowing. We are not going to London, Wildwing. We have to head to Skipton. That's where the law firm is that I as Sigmund have to meet the barristers at. After I get this inheritance crap squared away, I will treat you guys to a good time at Stonehenge and then later in Nottingham where they are having their forest fair this week. And guys... I'd like to see you guys in the local garb of the attendees while we're there."
Wildwing rolled his eyes. "I knew there was a catch. Well, we agreed to come with you, so we will do it. We'll meet with you in the air over the bay. Wildwing out." He hung up and handed the cellphone back to Phil as he said to the others, "When we go to the fair, we have to dress up like ye old locals. And that means the ladies wear dresses. Men wear tights. Phil too."
