It Was Nearing The Afternoon, When Drake Heard A Knock On His Door, He Thought Of It To Be The Typical

It was nearing the afternoon, when Drake heard a knock on his door, he thought of it to be the typical door-to-door salesman, or worse Herb Muddlefoot, yet when he opened the door his eyes his greeted with two familiar-looking strangers, his parents Ms. and Mr. Mallard. Without waiting for an invite in, they walk past Drake and his draping mouth, into the living room.

Drake quickly shook his head, closing the door and went to talk with his parents.

“Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?” Drake asked loudly

“Drakey, is it a crime to want to see our son?” Ms. Mallard said

“No, but you've never come to visit before!” He replied

“Your mom and I are in town to catch some old friends and with parent’s day coming up, we thought it would be nice to see you.” Mr. Mallard said

Right, Drake’s parents lived in Duckburg and rarely came out to St.Canard…

Drake was a bit confused, his parents never cared before to see him, there must be another reason…

“Where are you staying?” Drake asked

“Certainly not here.” Mr. Mallard whispered under his breath, looking at the tacky decor.

“We’re staying at one of the finest hotels in the city, don’t worry about us Drakey!” Ms.Mallard said

“I wasn’t worried.” Drake replied

Ms.Mallard’s eyes looked around spotting Drake’s family photo. Walking up to it.

“Drakey, who are these people?” She asked looking at him with a plastered smile

“It’s my daughter and my side- my friend.” He said

“Drakey, you never told us you had a daughter!” She exclaimed

“I did…you must have just forgotten.” He said

“No, Drakey you must be misremembering things.” She said

“No! I told you about it and my new address in the same letter, how do you remember my address, but not the fact I had a daughter.” Drake argued back

“Drake, don’t raise your voice at your mother, you only told us your new address!” He said

Drake couldn’t bother to start a fight with them, despite him being in the right.

“Anyways, Drakey where is your daughter?”” She asked

“At school, but she should be off soon, Launchpad usually picks her up.” He said

“You don’t, rather lazy of you.” Mr.Mallard said

Drake was rather angry at this, his parents never really picked him up, he was picked up on the school bus everyday.

“Hmm” Drake said instead of making a comment

“What do you even do for work?” Mr.Mallard asked

“Uhh… I am a freelancer, I work for a few different companies.” He replied

“No wonder you lived in this house?” Mr.Mallard quietly said

He really wants to kick his parents out, like now!

“Well, you guys should probably head back to the hotel and get ready to see your friends!” He said

“Not without meeting your daughter!” Ms.Mallard said

“You can meet her later.” Drake said

“It would be rude for us to leave, without saying hi to our only granddaughter.” She replied

Drake was never going to get them to leave, it’s better to follow their whims, then force them to do something impossible.

“Alright, you can stay to meet her.” Drake said gritted his teeth.

Both his parents smiled and sat down on his couch, complaining about a stain.

Drake luckily wasn’t the only one who was greeted with his parents on this day, the fearsome four are currently suffering the same fate… to be continued…
