I'll tell him.

"You need to be frugal

when you're abroad."

Oh!

Who is this?

Hey!

Oh! Only an ostrich would think

that if he hides his head,

nobody can see his feet, or his...

I wasn't using this to hide.

No, it's an ancient Mandarin duck

mind-reading device.

Yeah. Okay, sure!

So why don't you tell me

what I'm thinking!

You're thinking...

this boy seems a little crazy...

though he is sort of cute.

Ah... what? No...

You wish!

Who are you?

Your rescuer!

My rescuer?

Listen, quack-job,

I'm the general's daughter,

and nobody can rescue me.

I'm stuck.

We're stuck!

What if I told you

I know a secret passage?

I'd tell you, don't get stuck

by your sauce pan.

Trust me.

I am a mind reader!

Woo!

Waahh!

And now you're thinking about...

I think it's time to take

that away from you.

Hey, give that back!

A-ha!

Oh, you want it?

Come get it!

Aahhh!

- You didn't even fly!

- Huh?

You let me win.

Yeah! Well, I was

being a gentleman, and...

Jerk!

Never let a girl win

just because she's a girl!

And if you do, you don't tell her

you did, you dummy.

Sorry.

I really don't know what I'm...

All I know about girls

is from my tablet handbook.

Oh, really?

Never would have guessed.

I can't believe my Dad locked me up.

He dragged me all over the world,

then throws me in the slammer,

just because I didn't follow

his even rule.

Wow.

You've been around the world, huh?

I've never been off this island.

Really?

You got to stay in one place

the whole time?

A place to call home?

My father says

it isn't safe out there.

So I need to stay

and learn traditions...

Our crazy, boring traditions

that nobody believes in.

Well, at least, your dad doesn't

yell at you day and night.

Erica! Erica!

See? Day, and night.

Erica? ls that your name?

Yeah.

Mine's Longway.

Erica?

Erica, answer me.

You need to eat something.

That's an order!

Would you believe my Dad thinks

he pumps up the sun with meditation?

What?

Yeah.

"Position 45!

Lily pumps up the sun!"

Okay, I guess both our dads

are weird.

Well, at least your dad isn't

like that complete nutcase

who attacked my dad.

Whoa, whoa.

Excuse me.

Nutcase?

That was my dad, you jerk!

What? Oh...

- Well, that's not what I meant.

- Oh, really?

No, I mean...

what I meant to say was...

- Un-huh?

- You know how mallards are.

- Un-huh?

- I mean... not you.

- But most...

- Wow.

You don't know anything about me

or my dad, quack-job!

You're just a dumb Mandarin

who's never been anywhere!

Who obviously can't even fly!

Erica, wait!

Are you mad?

Oh, yeah. She's mad.

And, boom!

Got you, stupid duck!

I don't know what that lady wants

with you, and I don't care!
