I'm actually not a big DuckLexi fan... in fact, not at all. I'm not even a fan of Lexi at all, but I AM a fan of Romance. And chances. ....And Duck (DUH). xD
So, without further interruptions, I give to you my first public (if at all) short fanfic ever! 8D
ACME Love Medley (We Could Be Heroes)
"All you need is love..."
Summer. The bunny soaked in the warmth of the sun, letting her legs carry her wherever they wanted. Jogging was the best method of enjoying a beautiful afternoon like this. She wore headphones, though they only played silent music.
"All you need is love..."
Summer. Work was more constant during Summer for him. He had three jobs as it was and no time to enjoy the season, so his only joy was in singing to himself as he worked.
"All you need is love."
The bunny slowed her pace to a stop as the local pool yard came to view. Her headphones could barely drown out the boisterous tenor cleaning out the pools. She recognized that song he was beginning to sing from a centuries-old movie she had grown up to adore. Before she could use her better judgment the bunny ripped her head phones off and sang, "love is just a game."
The tenor jumped and spun to see who had sung that line. Their eyes met. He froze. She smiled. The time it took for him to regain control was enough for her to believe he wouldn't respond and nearly leave.
"I was made for loving you, baby, You were made for loving me," he sang.
Amused, the bunny remained and instead of resuming her jog she took a step toward the pool.
"The only way of loving me, baby,
Is to pay a lovely fee."
"Just one night," he sang, taking an outward stance. "Give me just one night."
"There's no way,
'Cause you can't pay." This was getting fun!
Her amusement increased as he twirled his pool net in one hand and pointed it at her dramatically. "In the name of love!
One night in the name of love."
The bunny couldn't help but laugh as she attempted to play along with this dramatic display. "You crazy fool. I won't give into you." For extra effect, she turned off and began to walk, stopping when she heard the pool cleaner say, "Don't...leave me this way.
I can't survive without your sweet love.
Oh baby, don't leave me this way."
"You'd think that people would've had enough with silly love songs," she quoted.
"I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no."
"Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs." The jogger turned her head back to see the pool cleaner.
"Well what's wrong with that?" he began, backing towards the pool, "I'd like to know." The bunny's eyes widened as he leaned back, as if to fall in on purpose. "'Cause here I go..." the pool cleaner nearly burst into laughter when the girl ran forth, grabbing him by the hand just before he hit the water and hauling him back up without trouble.
He kept the hand as if it were meant as an introduction, placing his other on both and shaking them firmly, actually making it a greeting. The bunny's eyes locked onto his, her mouth drooping open as he continued. "Love lifts us up where we belong,
Where eagles fly
On a mountain high!"
"Love makes us act like we are fools.
Throw our lives away for one happy day," she sang, suddenly considering this line the most appropriate...at least for him.
"We could be heroes!" He spread his arms wide.
Both their hearts stuttered as the tenor voice rang out smoothly, echoing off the surface of the water, and the walls, and the floors, and the air about them. "Yes, you could," said something in the back of their minds.
"...Just for one day." He raised an index finger, ignoring the odd feeling he had just witnessed.
Almost stunned, the girl felt as if she couldn't continue, but did anyhow. "You...you will be mean." She plucked the pool net, which he had dropped, from the ground and handed it to him. "And I...I'll drink all the time."
"We should be lovers," he sang, seeming to actually mean it.
"We can't do that," she responded, feeling discouraged for reasons she didn't understand at the time.
"We should be lovers, and that's a fact." With the net back in his hand he backed off with his arms out both ways.
"Though nothing would keep us together..."
"We could steal time..."
"Just for one day," they combined their voices in perfect harmony. The feeling coming over the girl was like something out of a fairytale.
"We could be heroes
Forever and ever.
We could be heroes
Forever and ever.
We could be heroes
Just because I...--"
"DUCK!"
They both jumped, peeling their eyes from each other. The bunny looked down at her hands, which she noticed had clasped his, and frantically released them. His eyes, evidently, were concentrated on the man who had called his name."
"What are you doing, Duck?! Get back to work or you're fired!"
"Well I'm SOR~RY, boss! can't help it if I...I just....got a bit distracted..." he began in a fresh tone, wandering off as he looked sorrowfully at the stranger before returning to his work. She left disappointed and yet exhilarated. Exhilarated because, for the first time, for just a fleeting moment, she had felt true love take a hold of her, for that one day, one moment, one song, meant everything to Lexi Bunny.
She decided to keep that memory tucked deep in her heart. The memory of that one song with a total stranger she would never see again.
Probably.
"How wonderful life is,
Now you're in the world..."

...Wow. This is actually one of the best Romance stories I have ever read. Usually the romance stories I read are too mushy or really sappy, but not this one. It gradually became more and more enjoyable to read, but it was a little disappointing that the song went unfinished. However, that made it even better...for some reason I cannot describe. You really are a talented writer, Bandkanon.

"Hey, Mr. Bump. Thought I'd drop by for a visit." "Uh, hello, Miss Whoops." "Sorry to hear about your accident." "Oh, well. That'll teach me to wrestle elephants." "Hey, a remote control! Ooh, how about we watch some rollerderby?" "Uh, uh, no, Miss Whoops, that's not for the T.V.! Ow! Bed! Crunching! Oh!" "These remotes are so unreliable..."
The errors were very minor, actually. I had no idea that you made any until you stated so. I do commend you for writing such an entertaining story...and now that I look back and re-read your story, it makes me smile a bit. I rarely (if ever) smile at other peoples' stories. And, yes, I am a little miffed at Danger Duck's boss for interrupting the song.

Aaw . Such a bittersweet ending. At the beginning, was the song "All you need is love" by The Beatles? I don't know what all the other songs were in the story but you integrated them into it well. Good job !
I wish upon a star Wanna be right where you are You set my world on fire Babe I got a crush on you I wish upon a star Can't you see how right we are We should be together Babe I got a crush on you
So if you feel the way I do Would you fancy to To take a ride beside me?
Me and you, you and me. Living a life in harmony It's magic(oh it's magic) babe I've got a crush on you [x2]
This is 'effin adorable, really. It was fun yet romantic at the same time, but also bittersweet because of the ending. And you said you'd never post fan fiction onto this board! ;D
*pauses briefly, looking around at everyone’s knowing expressions*
…
*nods in confirmation*
…
*SQUEALS IN UTTER HAPPINESS*
OMG THIS WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY! IT WASN’T OVER-THE-TOP ROMANTIC, IT WAS JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SWEETNESS!! SQUEEEE! XD
*cough*
Ahem…
You know what was the first thing that came into my mind when reading this?
“F*CK YEAH! SOMEONE ELSE THINKS THAT DUCK WOULD BE AN AWESOMEFUL SINGER!!”
The second thing was:
“F*CK YEAH! SOMEONE ELSE THINKS THAT DUCK WOULD BE INTO 20th CENTURY MUSIC!!”
The last thing was:
“I wonder what happened when they saw each other at HQ for the very first time…”
Now wouldn’t that just be awkward? c(X
All in all, WONDERFUL STORY! I am indeed a Duxi myself (but of course, Duxi doesn’t come into comparison to Dace) so this story was EXTRA pleasing for me! ^__^
…
Write…More… Stories… 8D

Something like this:
Lexi: O_O Duck: ..... O_o; Both: +Point at eachother+ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Lexi: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Duck: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Lexi: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Duck: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Both (again): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Everyone else (as they watch Duck and Lexi scream): '_' ............... Both (still): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
But yeah, it was really weird for me because I'm TOTALLY not a Duxi xD...but the idea just stuck in my head and I had to write it down before my head exploded.
...And yes. Ducks and bunnies belong together. HAIL EASTER! EASTER IS SOMETIMES IN MARCH! HAIL MARCH! x3 BUNNIES RULE! DUCKS ARE ADORABLE! +Takes off Caps Lock+
DnL (even now still): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
