It was a sunny day in Duckberg, everyone had a smile on their faces as Lonnie was on her daily runs, she found them to relax her whenever she gets stressed out she goes on runs to clear her mind. But today was different. She had someone joining her this time around as Lonnie finally stop at the corner as was looking for her running partner. Then she sees Gyro taking his sweet time to keep up with Lonnie. As she was jogging in place to keep up her energy until he arrived.
"Hurry up Gy... you take forever we have to run five more blocks and running in place is not enough for me," she said as Gyro was trying to catch his breath as he looks mad at her as she gets down to the ground as she kisses him.
"I think I'm done... I did enough running for today," Gyro said as he left to the ground as Lonnie looked confused then she laughed.
"Umm... we've only been running for five minutes. And this was just the first block we stopped at," she said with a laugh as she picks him up. "Okay fine, how about you can just walk while I run and you watch me," she suggested as she was about to run but Gyro stopped her.
"Or how about we walk together, by the way, you can finish your run later, I only said yes to spend time with you," he said as he holds her hand as Lonnie placed her head on his shoulder as he finally noticed how she was dressed, a black sports bra with black leggings. "How come you don't dress like this all the time, you look good in that outfit"
"Fine, but your no fun... you said you try at least one thing I enjoy," she said with a sad tone to her voice but he knew that Lonnie was only doing that to tease him. "And this outfit is not normally what I would wear on a day to day basis. It's I only wear when I workout,"
"Hey, I tried but I'm just not an athletic person like you, and why are you complaining about, you haven't done anything I like that you hate," he mentioned as he places his hat on her head.
"Because most of the things you like, I like. We have a lot of things in common. Oh... you mean... yeah that still a no, I'm still not going to do that," Lonnie just realized what he was talking about.
A little about a month Gyro as invented a ray that could switch or change the person's personality or what Gyro calls the Ego machine. Lonnie was proud of him, but he wanted to try it out on her but she said no constantly, he would even try asking her when Lonnie spent the night at his apartment. She was afraid something bad might happen to her. Not that Gyro was bad at his job or bad at inventing, but if she did do it if she did say yes. She was afraid that she wouldn't be the same anymore, that he wouldn't love her if her personality or ego was changed.
"Please Lonnie... sure my other inventive didn't turn out as I planned but I have a good feeling about this one," Gyro said as he picked Lonnie up to look at her eyes as she immediately hid her face and she started to blush.
"Stopped doing that Gy... okay let's go see it and maybe I'll think about it," She said as he puts her down.
"Thank you, Lonnie, you're the best," Gyro said as he kisses her forehead as Lonnie return the kiss.
"I know, I'm the best girlfriend, come on lead the way," Lonnie said as she stretched out her body.
Then Lonnie put the shirt she had around her waist as they both headed to the Money Bin. As they got the money bin everyone greeted them, everyone knew about Gyro's relationship with Lonnie, and most everyone was happy for them.
"So, how Betty adjusting to living with you and Mark," Gyro asked as they both were standing in the elevator.
"Well... it's a bit of an adjustment... she always bugs Mark, and they pull pranks on each other that go way too far," Lonnie said as she laughed. "But of then that she has been a lot happier,"
"Well good, after everything you all been through, you all deserve to be happy," Gyro said as Lonnie smiled as she gave him his hat back.
"Okay so where's this Ego Machine," Lonnie asked as they both walk into the lab, as it was in its messy order like always.
"It's right this way, my sweet bird," he took her by the hand as kissed it as they continued to walk in his lab as Scrooge's board of directors wanted to talk to me as Lonnie went ahead as she started to make a cup of coffee for Gyro.
"Look Gyro, we talked to Mr. Mcduck and we all agree that you shouldn't be dating her since she is rival companies," Said one of the directors as Lonnie spit out the coffee she just drank.
"Wait, what why? He never once mentioned that to me, and he also doesn't care who I date," Gyro said as they all looked at her as she went to go clean it up.
"I also call BS to that, he actually..." Lonnie was cut off as it pissed her off.
"We're talking to him, not you, now stay out of this," The same board of director as Lonnie was about to punch him as Manny tackled her to the ground to stop her from hitting him. "And not only that if one more of invention goes haywire, were are going to have to fire you,"
Wait, fire me? Gyro asked as he looked shocked as Lonnie got up as she sat down at his chair as she was twirling a pen between her fingers as they left. "Oh god... I really hope this works for I'll lose the job that I like,"
"Well if it's to save your job then, tested out on me," Lonnie said as she hugged him as he hugged her back.
"So what kind of ego will I end up with if it works," Lonnie asked as she finally saw the Ego Machine.
"Well if it works, you should act like Mark... or worst-case scenario, evil," he said as he helped Lonnie get on the platform were two rays were pointing at here she was standing.
"Wait, what!" Lonnie was about to run off the platform but before she could two green bolts of energy zapped her as she falls to the ground.
"Okay Lonnie how do you feel?," Gyro asked as he helped her up as he checked if she got hurt.
"I honestly don't feel any different, maybe it didn't work," Lonnie said as she looked over the blueprints from his machine.
"Dang it, can you stay and help me out please?" He asked as she started to fix some mistakes already.
"You're the best," he replied with a smile as he heads to fix some wiring as Lonnie put her hair up in a bun so it wouldn't get in the way.
"Of course, I'm the best. It's what I do," she said as she was erasing some mistakes and fixing them.
They both had been fixing the machine for six hours straight as Lonnie's sleep was taking over her as she fell asleep on the couch that Gyro had in his lab. He went over to her as he covered her with a blanket as he rubs her hair as he continued to work on his machine and going through Lonnie's fixes, she had made for him as applied it to the ray.
