67 Louie and Lena. "You're not scared of the dark, are you?"

The six kids were all preparing to go to sleep in the same room, Webby's room specifically. They were having a sleepover, the six sleepover this month… Webby truly loved sleepovers. But who was Louie to say something about it? The girl had been alone – in the meaning she didn't have other children to play with – all her life until the triplets entered to their uncle Scrooge's mansion for the first time.

Then the girl dressed in pink met Lena and after think she lost her forever, she met Violet. Still not knowing how, Louie found out Lena was back from the Shadow Realm and since then, the three girls became best friends.

Since Lena's return and claiming she wanted to study her, her magic and how could she come back from the Shadow Real, Lena moved to live to Violet's home and they become like sisters.

Sleepovers become common after that. Louie still remembered the specific one when thanks to Lena's Magic they all ended up in the same dream… or in a common space where they could control what happened with their minds… something like this… whatever.

Well, the important thing was that right now they were having another sleepover, and for Louie, the best part of those celebrations was the moment to go to sleep-

"Okay, after the cakes we've all eat, all the Pep! The glorious pillow battle, where the victory is for Lena, Violet and myself" Webby paused on her talking, her voice tone became a little sad and continued "I announce you the time to go to bed has arrived."

"Yes!" Louie noticed everyone looked at him in surprise. Okay, it was obvious he was the only one that really wanted to go to sleep. He had to dissimulate to fool them all. Fortunately, he was the best on that "I mean… it has been a great party, but unfortunately, all good things end soon or later. And the time has come."

Louie saw how all of them were silent. Suddenly Huey blinked a few times and shrugged.

"Well, Louie is right. Time to sleep."

They all went to sleep. Louie smiled while laying down. His head made contact with the pillow and all what the youngest triplet could do was to let out a satisfied sigh.

Sleep. Could be something better than that?

If there was something that Louie truly hated was to be awaken for unknown noises. How could someone be so cruel to awake him wailing?

Wait… wailing?

Louie's eyes opened suddenly after recognizing the noise.

A new groan called his attention. It was very close to him, but it didn't sound like his brothers. No, it sounded like a girl's groan. What was going on? Was someone having a nightmare?

Louie hated what he was going to do, but he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep if he didn't find out who was doing all this noise.

Sighing in frustration, the triplet dressed in green stand up once his eyes got used to the darkness. Walking as slowly as he could, he headed to the noise origin and there he found…

"Lena?" Louie whispered while he bent to be at her level "Lena, are you awake?"

The girl with dyed hair didn't even turned to look at him.

"Yes Greeny, thanks for noticing, now, go to sleep, guess you're tired so am I, we both need to sleep, so go back to your bed and do that, sleep." She sounded a little annoyed.

On his side, all what Louie could do was let out a sigh, he would be more than pleased to go to sleep, but right now and with Lena doing all that noise, is was an impossible mission.

"I'd be pleased to do that, if you could stop wailing all the time." He admitted.

Lena suddenly sat down and looked at the other duckling with frightened expression.

"Wait… have… have you heard me?"

"You've awoken me actually." Answered the other duckling crossing his arms over his chest. Lena seemed ashamed that someone had heard her wailing and groaning. Honestly, it almost seemed that Lena- no that was impossible, Lena wouldn't…

"You're not scared of the dark, are you?"

Louie saw the other girl look away and she seemed even more ashamed than before, as if Louie had told something that was true.

"Oh boy, you are."

"No" Lena hurried to say, then she stopped "I mean… yes…" the duckling took a deep breath, trying to control her growing nervousness "dark reminds me shadows, and shadows remind me… Aunt… Magica."

Louie sat down; it was more comfortable to sit than bent. What could he say? After finding out Lena was Magica's shadow, at first Louie felt betrayed, more than that, he felt a deep anger toward Lena for having been lying specially to Webby all that time, but after see how Magica talked about her and how Lena sacrificed herself to save Webby, Louie couldn't help but think Magica forced the other duckling to do all this, and all the anger he felt become deep compassion towards her. In addition, after that sleepover where they all faced Magica altogether, it was clear the evil witch was pure evil while Lena was truly a nice person.

"I… I'm sorry to hear that… I guess all what you experienced with Magica wasn't… nice-"

"Heh, nice would be the last word I'd use to describe the experience of live with Magica." Lena cut Louie off, then she sighed. "It was horrible."

Louie looked at Lena sympathetically. Maybe… there was something he could do to help his friend.

"You know? When my brothers and I were babies, Uncle Donald used to sing us a song every night… or at least he tried…" he paused and smiled remembering those moments "It was a song composed by my mom." he looked at Lena again "I've always considered it was something only for me and my brothers, but I think this can be a family song, and that includes Webby, Violet and you."

He felt a little nervous for what he was going to say. He took a deep breath closing his eyes. Then he opened again and met Lena's eyes.

"Are… are you okay if I sing it to you?"

The other duckling opened her eyes in surprise. It was obvious she didn't expect that question at all.

"Well… what's the worst thing that could happen?" she lay down on her bed. "Come on Greeny, you can begin singing."

Louie smiled softly and prepared to sing.

"Look to the stars my darling baby… girl

Life is strange and vast

Filled with wonders and joys

Face each new sun with eyes clear and true

Unafraid of the unknown

Because I'll face it all with you."

Once Louie finished, Lena seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Smiling proudly for what he did, he came back to his own bed and also lay down. Before falling asleep again, he heard his oldest brother's voice.

"Good job Louie."
