Dellas right hand ducks PT 2
Della and Huey were both excited to finally spend some time together without Dewey. Though they love him, they need some one-on-One time together.
Della raced to the next cave, she couldn't wait, she hasn't adventured in so long, this was freedom! She didn't even think about possibly overdoing it...for Huey's sake that is.
Huey watched as Della started going the wrong way, well not the wrong way but the more dangerous way, "Mom, wouldn't it be easier to go that way?"He asked.
"Well yeah, if you'd rather do things the easy way"She scoffed.
"I'm not saying that I would but, what if I would?" He asked.
"Oh Huey, adventure is all about danger and new discoveries.
"I'm sure there's plenty of danger and discovery this way" Huey said.
Della placed his hand on his shoulder reassuringly "Trust me"Della said "I know what I'm doing, this will be fun!"
"Ok...if you say so, I trust you."Huey didn't mind danger but he'd prefer to not die when he's ten!
He was starting to realize what Scrooge meant by "Keeping the balance of crazy and common sense".
"Honey! Are you coming?"Della asked.
But, despite that Huey still trusted her. She knows what she's doing, she's probably been in this situation before and knew some sort of shortcut or perhaps a trap in the other cave..."Yeah I'm coming"He said following her to wherever she was heading.
Later...
Huey has been adventuring with Della for two hours and twelve minutes.
He still didn't agree with all her motives, especially when she thought it was a good idea to trick that leprechaun into thinking that they're not trying to steal gold but instead they're exterminators...he didn't think the leprechaun actually bought it. Or knows what exterminators are. Della does know what she's doing right?
Of course she does, she's been adventuring for years...
"Hey Huey, look at this!"she said.
'Oh boy what now?' He wondered, continued walking to where Della was, surrounding her was green acid blocking their way.
"I knew we should've taken the other cave"Huey said "Maybe if we turn back now, Uncle Scrooge and Dewey are waiting so-"
Before he could finish Della grabbed her grappling hook and swung over the acid "Jr Woodchuck rule #75, always be prepared for anything".
"Like...your ideal death?!"He asked, realizing he's starting to sound like Louie. She laughed throwing it back to Huey.
"I've never actually used one of these before!"He exclaimed very loudly.
She yelled back "Well, there's a first time for everything right?"
"Oh yeah, totally".
Oh...frank...Huey is done for...
Scrooge and Dewey had a very successful adventure, they even found the pot of gold, "You'd think they'd have a better body guard...or any"Scrooge said.
"No kidding, this was very boring"Dewey said.
"Well yer mother and Huey are probably waiting for us so let's head back".
"So how old was mom when she started adventuring?"Dewey asked Scrooge.
"Bout yer age"He said as they were retracting their steps "Grab the extra flashlight will yea?"
"So when I am her age I'll be just as good as she is?"
"Eh..sure why not?"He said.
"Wow..."Dewey handed Scrooge the flashlight "I could become one of the greatest adventures of all time!"
"Now lad...There's something you should be aware of about yer mother...though she can be a lot of fun she's...well..."
"Exquisite, glorious, spontaneous!"
"No, injudicious."
"What's wrong with that? Nobody is perfect".
"It's important to have roll models Dewey but it's also important not to make the same mistakes as they have you understand?"
They waited for a couple more hours "Maybe we should try to find them"Dewey said.
Huey has been adventuring with Della for six hours and seventeen minutes and he's already learned something very important...
SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT SHE'S DOING! AND HE WAS TWO SECONDS BEFORE COMPLETELY LOOSING IT! what was she thinking? First tricking a leprechaun, then Letting a child who has never used a grappling hook, use one for the first time OVER GREEN ACID?! And then realizing that same leprechaun was following them and fell into the acid turning it into some sort of radio active leprechaun...
What the heck Della?!
Luckily they escaped but still...what if they didn't? Donald would be crushed and more important...so would his brothers, he's never pondered on the idea that they may not make it back one day but now that he understood how dangerous this can be...he is worried.
"Well...should we press on or head back?"Della asked "Scrooge probably has the gold already but that doesn't mean we can't find something new right?"She winked.
Huey wasn't going to pretend anymore "Actually...I want to go back".
Della looked confused "Ok sure if you want but why?"
"Why? Why? Are you seriously asking me why?"He asked.
She raised an eyebrow "Uhh yeees".
He looked like he was going to say something but he didn't, he stayed calm and completely stopped himself from becoming 'The duke' again.
"There ya are"Scrooge said "We've been looking everywhere for yu".
"How did it go?"Dewey asked.
"It was amazing!"Della said "First we ran into a leprechaun who was supposably protecting it so we clearly had to take care of that and...Huey are you ok?"She asked.
Huey was walking the opposite direction and stopped when she asked. How could she not notice how hard this was? Well...its not exactly her fault, Huey didn't tell her.
Della walked up to him and got on her knees to his level "Honey?"She asked.
"Just leave me be please"He said pulling away from her.
"D-did I do something can I help?-"
"I said back off!"Huey yelled causing some of the unsteady rocks overtop of them to fall, causing both Huey and Della to fall into a ditch inside the cave. Both fell hitting the ground.
"Huey!"Della yelled as she helped him up "Huey are you alright?"
Huey didn't answer, he couldn't even look at her.
"Are ye alright?"Scrooge yelled.
"We're ok Uncle Scrooge!"Huey yelled back.
"We'll get ye out as soon as we can! Come on Dewey"
Huey winced and grabbed his arm, he had scraped it on a sharp rock during the fall.
"Oh, Huey let me see-"
"No!"Huey yelled holding his wound with his other hand as it bled down his arm.
"You're bleeding, you need to wrap it up"Della grabbed her scarf and reached out to Huey.
He jerked his arm away from her "Stay away from me!"He yelled.
"Huey, honey, I know what I'm doing"She said attempting to help him again.
Once again he jerked his arm away and backed up away from her "Do you? Because as I've witnessed all day, you have no clue what you're doing! You just pretend you know what's right and you make things up as you go along! When they said you were like Dewey I didn't think you'd be as irresponsible and reckless too!"
"Huey I'm-"
"You never consider the consequences of your actions or how they can effect other people! Whether it's here...or at home or even the moon!"
Della gasped silently...neither said a word. Della sighed and walked to the other end of the ditch, Huey still didn't look at her. She should've known Dewey was just too easy.
Huey tried to hold back the tears but he couldn't, he disappointed her just like he always knew he would.
"I'm so sorry"She said surprisingly "I was selfish...I haven't adventured in a long time...I didn't consider what was better for you. Some mother I turned out to be"She said.
There was a long silence, Both Della and Huey felt bad for the way they acted today.
"You're a great mother"He finally said.
"Huey-"
"No you are! Just because you make mistakes doesn't make you any less a mother as any other one, I know you don't mean to do the things you did...I know you didn't mean to leave. I guess I expected this to be easier then it was."
"I did too"She said "I do like it when you tell me the truth"She said "You're a great kid, I love who you turned out to be. And don't ever be afraid to tell me the truth about something ok?"
Huey smiled "Ok, thanks"He hugged her tight, he realized this was the first time he only hugged Della...and he was getting blood all over her, she didn't seem to mind though, she tied her scarf around it and Scrooge came back to save them.
"So what happened between you and mom? Did you get into a fight?"Huey has never seen Dewey so concerned about something like this before.
"I suppose...kinda"Huey said, Dewey looked petrified "We worked it out and everything is fine"He said, Dewey felt a sudden relief.
"Did you have a good time though?"Dewey asked "Despite that?"
"It was very impenetrable"Huey said.
"We have a large vocabulary"Dewey said.
"I know right?"
It's still going to take some time for Huey to truly forgive Della but he's healing, it takes one day at it time and one day he knows he'll get over these crazy ideas of hers, he might even join her, and maybe he will rub off on her a little. With hope.
