"Miss. Vanderbeaks we need to know what's going on with your latest invention", a girl who was following her boss into her lab.
"Well Chelsea, if you stop asking me about it, I could focus on it," Lonnie said as she was in her lab as she was drinking her coffee.
"I'm sorry, but the board of directors want some new updates", said the young duck as she was writing something on her tablet.
"Okay, well tell them to be patient with me, if they can be patient with my dad, then they can be that way with me," Lonnie told her as she sat down as she was working on a device.
"Okay I'll tell them, and you really need a vacation," her assistant said as she left the lab.
"I'll take a vacation when I'm dead, but you're right I really do need a vacation but work is away in the way of my happiness", Lonnie replied as she was bitting her crystals.
Lonnie sat down to take a break from her work as she looked over her father's notes, she hated that he forced her to inherit the family business, just because she's was the oldest child he had. Well, she was the only child he had, but she knew it in her heart that she might have a brother or sister somewhere out there in the world. She loves science and technology but when she was old enough to walk and talk, her father put her through intense training, and sending her to the best schools, and getting an opportunity for her to work with the best scientists in the world. He never let her made her own choices. She remembers fights between her father and herself when she got older. Then the day came when her father died and she had to carry on her father's legacy of being one of the best scientists. Everyone she meets they always compare her with her father, saying things like "Your Holden Holdcraft Von Vanderbeaks kid?" She simply replied with a yes. She had no one in her family left alive, her mother died when she was hatched and no siblings or that what her father told her. She had no one to talk to about her problems only her assistant Chelsea or her AI called U.N.I.T. she created to help her out with her inventions.
"Oh, Miss. Vanderbeaks I forgot to mention that you got invented to party in Duckburg", Chelsea handed her a tiny gold envelope as she takes out a letter reads it. "Dear, Doctor Vanderbeaks you are invited to a Showcase Gala in Duckburg along with other brilliant scientist and young minds, and we want you to show your latest invention this Friday evening", Lonnie read it to herself as she started to panic.
"Oh dang, my invention is not ready, I'm going to look like a fool in front of a bunch of smart geniuses," she said to no one as she placed the letter on the table as she took out her tablet as looked over any project that she can talk about. "Wait, Gala, that means I have to find a dress too," she thought as she went to her assistant. "Don't worry Miss. Vanderbeaks, I already made you an appointment to find you a dress", Chelsea handed her a posted note that had the time and address. "Thank you Chelse, you're a life-saver," Lonnie said with a laugh then she headed to her car to go to find the dress shop.
Lonnie was the kind of girl who hated wearing dresses, she is always comfortable wearing her blue shirt and black pants, and sometimes she would wear a tie and a vest, but since it's a fancy party or that what she is assuming, she had no choice but to wear a dress.
Lonnie always didn't know how to be feminine, she never had too many girl friends or a mother figure in her life. So she needed a little bit of help from Chelsea. She got to the store and was trying on different dresses but Lonnie couldn't find any dress she looks nice in, so she the girl who worked at the dress shop decided to help Lonnie to find a dress.
"I guess this dress will do", Lonnie said to herself as she took a navy blue dress with a silver ribbon around the waistline. "Good choice Miss. Vanderbeaks the blue really goes well with your grey feathers" said the lady behind the cash register. "Thank you, my first showcase and I'm assuming that I'm supposed to wear a dress," Lonnie told the girl as she paid for the dress and headed to her apartment.
