Chapter 31: Wrong Part of the City
4 days later...
"Wow. The talent show was a blast! The Feather Heights won and Dewey and Webby are no longer in the friend zone!" Louie thought as the group entered the school. Snow has covered the school grounds so far due to the winter season as some of the students are having fun in the snow. Louie couldn't help but feel happy to see Dewey and Webby holding hands are gazing at each other for a long time as Huey, Violet, Lena and Gosalyn were very happy for these 2 also.
"Nice job fixing it." said Lena. "Wow, they are so perfect for each other." Gosalyn whispered. "I know right?" Huey agreed as they entered the building. There inside, they went to their lockers, got their required learning materials for their lessons and before that, "Let's go Dewdrop."
"Sure thing Gorgeous." Dewey replied kissing her cheek as she giggled with a blush. The others smiled at this as they got their stuff ready and headed to their respective classes.
So therefore...
"Have you all finished your Physics homework on energy?" Mr Slothorn who's the physics teacher for Class Y101 asked. All took them out showing it to him. "Excellent. Deco, will you please collect the homework?" The bat student gave him the thumbs up as he started collecting the homework while dancing a bit since he's a member of the Hip-Hops clique. Once done, "Okay, let's get started with energy and there's more to this topic today!" Mr Slothorn announced as the lesson begins.
In another class, "Who can answer this question? The Treaty of Versailles was signed by 3 people. Who are they?" The history teacher, Mr Warren asked. "Ooh! I know! David Lloyd George who's the prime minister of Britain, George Clemenceau who's the leader of France and Woodrow Wilson, 28th president of America!" Webby answered as the class was amazed and Dewey even hi-5 her. "Excellent answer! You know your history well dear Webby! Okay next question, an alliance known as the Central Powers was formed. Which of the countries are members of this alliance?" Mr Warren asked. "Uh...is it Russia?" Some dog student asked. "Okay let's get another answer from someone who's not a complete retard. Anyone?" Mr Warren asked.
And then, "Go!" Coach Catson threw the ball as 2 teams of 12 students clashed through a game of captain's ball in the gymnasium. Louie just caught the ball as, "Louie! I'm open!" Lena called out. Louie saw her as he threw the ball to her. She then threw the ball to the captain who's standing on a chair and she caught it! The team cheered as Louie and Lena fist bump and the game continues!
Sometime later after school...
"The Duckburg Dragons Ice Hockey Team is beginning their quarterfinals match against the Macaw Unicorns in 2 hours. As far as I know, before the Winter Talent Show, they had their first match against the Goosetown Garudas and won. Now first, I need to do my homework and eat nacho chips with cheese dip in the library café." Louie thought to himself as he entered the library and headed to the second level. There, he found the café and settled everything as he worked on some math problems and talked with B.O.Y.D on the phone for some answers.
15 minutes later...
"Thanks for the answers B.O.Y.D! I'll remember to practice on how the equations are calculated!"
"No problem! Catch you later!" The phone call ended as Louie finished up his snack, packed his stuff and headed down. When he got down, "Amigo! Amigo! I need your help right now!" He looked to his left to see Ernest waving at him. "That's the duck I saved his ass during the student council elections." Louie thought as he walked to him. There, he sat down facing him as Ernest began. "Jonathan and his goons are hassling me about Algernon! He thinks that he's trying to hook up with Layla! He's starting to become an enraging psychopath!"
"What the duck? Algernon and Layla together? Gross dude!" Louie exclaimed gagging a bit. "I know! All the nerds know Algernon likes blonde girls." Ernest explained. "I find it hard to believe." said Louie. "Whatever! But please Louie, find Algernon before Jonathan wrecks him and comes to his senses!" Ernest begged. Knowing that Jonathan's cantankerous behaviour will definitely be a nightmare to Algernon when he finds out, "Okay, where is Algernon?" Louie asked. "Oh I don't know! Last thing I know he was hanging out with Anderson Chubb and Thaddeus Carlson. Maybe they know!" Ernest replied. "Wait who?" Louie doesn't know those nerds. "Anderson is one of the smartest nerds in terms of the academics and is part of the drama club! He even portrayed as the army messenger in that Mulan musical! And Thaddeus is never seen with his trusty ruler! Metal and he carries it around like a sword!" Ernest explained. "Well that complicates things a bit." Louie thought as he left the library.
"It'll be easier to find this Thaddeus since he carries a metal ruler around the school all the time." Louie thought as he started looking around. He checked the cafeteria. Nothing but it beats buying a can of Pep!. He then checked the gym. Wait, nerds don't work out or join clubs related to fighting and stuff. He then checked the labs. All empty. Except for one because some graduating students are practicing their practical chemistry in getting chemical mixtures right. "Screw this I'm going outside." Louie thought as he left.
Outside, he looked around when he heard voices.
"Where is he?"
"Yeah! Tell Jonathan where is he or we'll gut kick you skinny nerds!"
"I know where it came from..." Louie went to the carpark on the right and there, is Jonathan and several greasers harassing Anderson and Thaddeus. "Where's Algernon you skinny beanpoles? Spill it or I'll haymaker you without mercy!" Jonathan threatened as his anger started to rise. "We don't remember anything! I swear!" Thaddeus replied. "Actually...I do remember he was with us and then he for some reason took off to Orange Cab Pizza." Anderson recalled. "Wait what?" Thaddeus asked as, "Well finally someone spilled the beans!" Jonathan exclaimed. "Alright boys! Let's go! Kato, Tetsuo, put them out of their misery!" The order is given as all but these 2 greasers remain. "HELP US!" Anderson yelled when, "IOW!"
"IOOM!"
A bottle rocket was fired and Kato and Tetsuo are instantly knocked out. "It's Louie!" Thaddeus exclaimed as they approached him and he's armed with the bottle rocket launcher he got before. "Thank you for saving us! Don't worry, I lied about Algernon's location. We were aware of his agenda and planned to keep it a secret. Hurry, go to the public library and find him there!" Anderson tipped Louie as he nodded and left.
Getting on his bike, "The public library. The same library where Webby met Violet and where Emily Quackfaster managed." Louie thought as he cycled off. (Yes, the very same library seen in the Friendship Magic episode)
Some time later...
"I'm here!" Louie parked his bike and looked around. He then saw Algernon waiting outside the library. "Algernon you are so dead!" He called out. "Dead? I'm actually alive now." The nerd replied. "Not for long, Jonathan's gonna pound you for trying to make some moves on his girl." Louie stated. "What? But Layla just asked me to-wait, is that..." Both looked to their right to see her meeting up with someone by the library. "What's going on?" Louie wondered as he and Algernon went to investigate.
There, "So, Paul, honey, listen if you want me to be with you, it comes at a price. 100 dollars shouldn't be problem. That's nothing to a lion of your means." Layla can be seen chatting with the lion preppy. "Oh but Lola, I'd have to steal it from my father. My weekly allowance is not so much if you ask me." Paul replied as Algernon butt in. "But Layla, you told me just now that-"
"Shut up fatso! I'm not finished with Paul yet!" Layal snapped as she turned her attention back to Paul. "I thought you liked me. You said you did and you'll be man enough to meet my request right?" Layla. "Why of course! I do love you Layla! But it's just that-"
"Oh I see now, you think I'm a cheap slut huh? Thinking that I'm too easy to be attracted to some rich turd like you?! Well that's it!" Layla stormed off as, "B-B-But Lola, wait..." Paul and Algernon tried to reason with her but she's gone in a second.
"Look at you both. You're ridiculously pathetic!" Louie criticized them both. "But I thought she liked me!" Paul and Algernon replied in unison and at the same time, turned around to face Louie. "Paul, Layla only liked you because you have money and she can take advantage of by setting a price for herself! And Algernon, she only liked you because you're smart and you'll end up doing all her homework all the way till her graduation." Louie stated for them both. "But enough of this shit, we gotta get outta here before Jonathan finds you both hanging out with his girl!" Louie added on. "But Layla told me she needed me to tutor her in-oh I'm so scared and confused!" Algernon exclaimed when, "Oh shit, greasers!" Paul exclaimed as 3 of them cycled by and Louie and his group got on their bikes and cycled off.
As for them, "Seriously man! He wasn't at Orange Cab Pizza! Shouldn't have known that this skinny beanpole fibbed us!" A greaser exclaimed. "Damn! Norton, relay all the greasers to search the entire city for this fatso nerd! Jonathan's gonna roast him alive for touching his girl!" Another one ordered as Norton, the panther greaser texted the other greasers. After that, they cycled off.
And then...
"Over there! Hide in the bushes!" Louie and his group are right now at the park as they left their bikes and hid among the snow covered bushes. Then, another 3 greasers cycled by. "Damn! It's like the entire city is now a hunting ground." said Paul. "Yeah. They sure are pissed." Louie agreed as they quickly left the park.
It now cuts to them entering Canary's Jr. "We should be safe here and hopefully-"
"Uh Louie? Look over there." Algernon pointed at a table where 6 greasers are seated having a snack. "Shit. We nearly walked into a death trap." Louie thought. He then nodded at the other 2 and they slowly and quietly left the restaurant, got on their bikes and quickly cycled off.
An hour later...
"Hiding and running from the greasers is tiring!" Paul groaned. "Look! The school! We're near!" Algernon pointed out. "Alright. Let's run loose and get there even if they see us!" Louie suggested as they cycled their way there. "Hey! I see something zipping by! After them!" They got their attention as 3 greasers pursued them and relayed the message to the other greasers about it. "Halfway there!" Louie called out as he took out a firecracker and hurled it behind. "BOOM!"
"Cool. 3 in one hit." said Algernon as more greasers showed up since they got the message. "There's Algernon! Get him!" Willy shouted as, "Now I know who they're after all along." Paul thought as Louie hurled another firecracker. "BOOM!"
"We're almost there!" Louie called out as he threw 3 more firecrackers scattering the explosions. A few tumbles took place as some greasers ended up on the ground with their bikes. "Drat. We lost them!" Willy groaned.
At school...
"Thanks Louie. Better get going." Paul thanked him as he headed to the Carrington Frat House. Then, "There's Algernon!" Ernest can be seen walking to them with Anderson and Thaddeus accompanying him. "Wonderful! You saved out friend!" Anderson exclaimed. "Indeed your usefulness has done much good works for us!" Thaddeus added. "Well thanks for saving me Louie. Say, wanna play some board games with us?" Algernon asked. "Nope. I got a hockey game to watch." Louie replied. "The one where the Dragons are clashing against the Unicorns? I think the game started 5 minutes ago." Ernest revealed. "What the duck? I'm late!" Louie decided to make a run for it but first, "Before you leave, take this as a token of gratitude!" Ernest paid Louie 20 dollars and he kept the money and ran off leaving the nerds as they left to play board games in the store.
Soon enough...
In the ice rink, the Besties clique watched as the teams skated around with their hockey sticks. "Look at Gos go! She's not giving them an inch!" Dewey exclaimed as on the rink, Goslayn skated ferociously evading her opponents and maintaining control of the puck. She then shot to her teammate, the captain of the team, Nelson Nashbite. The third year student skidded and skated to his right and is approaching the goalpost. However, 3 of the Unicorns skated by setting up a defense. "Yo! I'm open!" Gosalyn called out as her teammate who's a freshman named Lynn Clawboard is skating behind backing her up. Seeing her, Nelson shot the puck to her and she sent it flying into the goalpost!
The team cheered for her as from the bleachers, "Heh, some fury she displayed." All looked to see Louie sitting beside Lena drinking Pep! "Where have you been? You're like, 5 minutes late!" Webby exclaimed. "Stopped by to aid the weak against their oppressors." Louie replied as the row he's sitting on is where Lena, Lana, Luna, Violet, Melvin, Jennifer, Park and Vickson are seated together. In front of them are the rest. "Russell feels a bit chilly." said Russell. "Yeah big guy. That's why we have to wear our coats and jackets in this area. Good thing I bought some hot chocolate from the cafeteria." Huey then took a sip. "Mmmm...rich and creamy..."
Back on the rink, a Unicorn hockey player managed to score a goal. After that, "The score is tied and all the teams need is one shot to secure their spot to the semi-finals." The commentator announced.
The team is gathered for a plan. "History repeats itself all the time. "We always lose to the Unicorns regardless of tournament rankings. Time to change that. We got some badass players here and this time, we're gonna take them down for good! Gosalyn, you were a monster out there and you do the honours to give us the victory!" Nelson stated. "Sure captain. I was born to play ice hockey!" Gosalyn replied as the whistle blew.
Both teams are in position and once ready, Nelson made his first move but a Unicorn player intercepted him and got the puck successfully but Lynn got back at him and she skated to the goalpost but got blocked by 2 players and a third one surprised her from the side stealing the puck. He then skated to the goalpost with the other 2 backing him up. "Defense! Defense!" A hockey player named Jody who's the goalkeeper ordered as everyone skated back to stop them but already, a shot was made but Jody blocked it. He then shot to Gosalyn as she skated hard and fierce by herself. Every interception executed resulted in failure due to her experience and roughness. The Unicorns don't like it so they pursued her and at the same time, secured their turf. "This is for the Dragons!" Gosalyn took the shot. "I got it!" The Unicorn goalkeeper exclaimed but, "THOK!" The puck hit him and he went inside the net along with it. "Winner, Duckburg Dragons!" The referee announced. All cheered as Gosalyn and her teammates skated around cheering as the other students cheered for them.
"Woo-hoo! Gosalyn you rock ice cold girl!" Luna cheered.
"Damn! I'm starting to like this tough chick!" Duncan thought.
"Oh yeah! Gimme a fist bump!" Dewey called out as Gosalyn skated by giving him a hard one. "Ow! It's so cold!" Dewey described as all laughed. "Heh. At least I get to see most of the match and witness the victory." Louie thought with a smile as right now, the team is skating around with Gosalyn lifted up. Guess Louie doesn't have to worry for now
Ice Hockey is a good sport and addition for the month of December. So besides Dewey's basketball tournament, Gosalyn's gonna have competition too but it's gonna be all the way in this season only.
Okay, I'll mix around a bit though the greasers are still gonne be around in the story and things may be one-sided or worse who knows? Okay, see you in the next chapter. Woo-hoo!
