Magic Of Luck

by puppydogs68

Magica finally has her powers back! Well, sort of. To get them back, she needs to steal someone else's power and use it to power her staff. Problem is, she has to wait until a lunar eclipse happens. She has to gain the trust of Gladstone Gander. She really doesn't actually expect to bond with him...really... (Cover art now changed AGAIN since...I felt like it. :P)

11. Chapter 11

Magic Of Luck Chapter 11: "Exposed, But Saved?"

GiddyReflections: Poor April...if only she'd known better... :S

LunaWolf44: YAS FINALLY GLADSTONE SHALL BE EXPOSED! ;3

...

EDIT: THE HECK?! I FEEL LIKE KILLING MYSELF NOW. ONE FLIPPING HOUR OF WORK, IN THE TRASH?! STUPID COMPUTER DIDN'T SAVE. DANG YOU COMPUTER! DANG YOU! UGHHHHHHHHHHHH! T-T

WELL.

ENJOY I GUESS. IMMA PAINSTAKINGLY WRITE THIS WHOLE THING AGAIN. YAY. -_-

Gladstone waited outside McDuck manor, watching as a crisp twenty dollar bill drifted towards him. He picked it up, "Hey, twenty dollars." He said casually, cramming the money into his pocket. He stepped back, straightening his collar.

Scrooge opened the door, rolling his eyes, "Ugh, Gladstone. Remind me when you're leaving the manor again?" He asked, obviously fed up with Gladstone's attitude.

"Well, depends on when my blimp's fixed. Wouldn't want a broken blimp now, would I?" He smirked, then placed a finger on his chin thoughtfully, pausing, "Actually, I could pretend that it looked that way since it was a rare model, and then sell it for double the price...wait, that's actually not a bad idea..."

Louie's eyes sparkled mischievously.

Scrooge gave him a look, "Don't give the lad any ideas!"

"Too late!" Louie said, "I'm going to write this down!" He reached for a notebook on a nearby shelf. Scrooge pulled the boy back with his cane.

"Oi!"

Louie's attention seemed to be directed elsewhere now. As soon as Gladstone walked inside and closed the door, the children swarmed around him.

"Why was Magica with you in the forest?"

"Why were you in the forest?"

"Did Magica get her powers back?"

"Did you go looking for her?"

"Why did you go on a walk with Magica?"

"Did Magica threaten you?"

"What happened to-"

Huey blurted out, "Are you going to marry her?"

"EWWWWWWWWW." Louie, Lena, June, and April cried out in disgust.

"If Gladstone did marry my aunt, then wouldn't she be...uh...your aunt? But what does that make me?" Lena asked.

"Wait, Gladstone is technically our older cousin." Louie said, "So that would make Magica..." He counted his fingers, "Our...cousin in law...?"

"What? No..." June counted her fingers, then scratched her head, "Uh..."

"Well, whatever! The Duck family tree is way too complicated anyways." Louie grumbled, sticking his hands in his pocket.

"Gladstone, what are they talking about?" Scrooge asked.

"I don't know, maybe they're just daydreaming or something." Gladstone lied.

"Oh, we know! We have proof!" Lena said.

Gladstone snorted, "I have no idea what they're talking about-"

"Huey and I spied on you! Isn't that right, Huey?" Lena asked.

Huey nodded, "Unfortunately, yes."

"Kids!" Scrooge scolded them, "You cannae do that...without the proper training! You should have seen Beakley before you spied on Gladstone! Or Webby!"

"Um, shouldn't we be more worried about my privacy-"

"What's going on here?" Dewey asked, Webby following him into the living room. Gladstone bit his beak.

"You have something to tell us, Gladstone?"

That was when a loud "ROAAAAAAAR" sounded from upstairs.

"WHOOPS I THINK I LEFT THE PORTAL OPEN!" Webby yelled, running upstairs. Everyone followed her. Gladstone sighed in relief.

He was saved by his luck yet again.

Don't forget to review, follow, and fav! :) ;D
