I still remember that week we all found out we were flying to the Moon.

It was a week after Uncle Scrooge's birthday. Uncle Scrooge called for a family meeting and announced that we would be going on the "adventure of a lifetime", which sounded a bit like something Huey would say. He said that we would be going to the Moon, which really excited me! I couldn't wait to explore the Moon and see all its huge craters. Louie, being himself, was already looking at how much moon rocks would go for online (considering nobody has ever been to the Moon before). Huey started preparing a playlist of sci-fi type songs for the long trip. And Webby was probably the most excited out of us all! She grabbed books on the solar system from the Duckburg Public Library every single day.

Excitement soon turned into curiosity. I realized how important this trip would be for the mystery about my mom. I wondered if there would be any clues on the Moon. Some about Mom. I talked to Webby about this, and we stayed up ALL NIGHT researching the current evidence (much to Mrs. Beakley's suspicion). Other than that, I am super excited about the experience! Being one of the first ducks on the Moon sounds like an awesome experience! But the Moon still intrigues me with Selene being the goddess of it...

Now, here we are: Walking to the Money Bin's laboratory. We walked through the automaic doors. Gyro Gearloose stood next to a giant spaceship, which only doubled my excitement. Webby, Huey, Louie, Uncle Donald, Launchpad, Mrs. Beakley, Uncle Scrooge

The spaceship's exterior was mostly shining and dark, which I thought, looked pretty cool! A disk to detect satellite waves stood on top of the ship. The spaceship included rounded, light blue windows to look outside in outer space. And finally, a red stripe in the middle of the ship.

Huey literally squealed, running around the giant ship.

"This is incredible! Look at those turbo boosters, how do those work?" Huey said. "How far can this ship fly? How long did it take to build it?

The restless Gyro sighed. "Kid, just don't worry about it. Launch first. Interview later."

Huey stopped his fangirling (as I call it) in embarassment. "Oh, ummm, okay."

To be honest, though, I was just as hyped as Huebert. Turbo blasters, a bajillion buttons, space suits, and the whole deal! I wonder if Uncle Scrooge would put me in charge of anything this time...

We started equpping the spaceship with space suits. The space suits were HUGE. They were equipped with oxygen tanks and communicators, but I never imagined them so big! I couldn't imagine how it would be on the Moon when we have to put them on. How light they would be, how heavy they would be...

Webby looked at the ship in puzzlement. "Hmm... I usually don't ask this, but is it safe?"

Gyro glanced at the young girl. "You question the safety of MY invention?"

"Well, the young lad has a point," Scrooge said. "I mean, your inventions do typically go evil and turn on us."

"HALF!" Gyro yelled with anger. "HALF! Only HALF of my inventions turn evil!"

"I think we'll be fine!" Huey said. "The show is TV-Y7. It's unlikely we'll die or even be injured! The only time that we'll maybe die is if this is an hour-long special or some twisted fanfiction."

The family looked at Huey like he was some sort of madman.

"NOTHING!" Huey quickly said. "I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!"

That Huey stuff kinda confused me too.

It was finally time to blast off for the moon. Gyro finished configuring the communicators on the ship, and we were all ready to go! We all walked into the spaceship, ready to be the first to go to the Moon and (hopefully) come back. We all walked to the ship. Louie took pictures as we got in, while Mrs. Beakley seemed to sweat and frown as we got inside.

It was better than I EVER imagined! I looked at the many buttons and weapons on the ship. There was a spaceship cannon, space blasters, and even forcefield generators! I explored the ship and its many features until Uncle Donald called me over.

"Now, kids," Uncle Donald said to us. "This is a very serious mission. Don't cause any trouble while we are on!"

"Yes, Uncle Donald," my brothers and I responded in unison.

Gyro waved at us eight when the ship started to take off. The turbo blasters lifted us up in the air higher than the Money Bin. The noise and shakiness shook the entire spaceship. Launchpad continued lifting off the ship.

I smiled at Webby. We might find more answers after all.

And then we were off.

A/N: Decided to release anthor chapter today. Capters are still pretty short, but I'll be able to write even longer ones when I get back on my computer at home. I currently have three more chapters prepared and counting, so I will keep on writing.

Also, I rarely see any male authors on this site, so surprise! Enjoy the story!
