Back to the Nest
A Disney Duck Fanfiction:

Disclaimers:
Like before, Disney owns most of these characters. Dumbella Duck is Disney's character, yet her background as Bella Widgeon is mine. Gregory Widgeon and Melanie Widgeon are also mine. Cindy Ganderquack is as well.
Author Note:
Hi all, sorry for the delay again. I hope you are still reading this story. This chapter is the beginning of an attempt for a new story arch. The intention being a type of introduction to the second book in this series. The main story arch still exists, a story about Bella Widgeon and her re-introduction into her family. I'm going to attempt to end this story in 15 chapters, but sometimes that is not up to me. The subplot of this story will be focused more in the second book. Thank you for all your support. Please review and tell me what you think.
Thanks a lot! ~ Stef
Chapter 13
"Excuse me Miss."
The associate at the Guest Service Desk looked up, immediately putting down the magazine she was reading. "How can I help you miss?" she responded.
"May I have an application please?" Bella asked.
"Sure thing," the associated returned. "Just fill this out and place it in this tray."
Bella nodded. "Thank you."
Bella took the document, and studied it for a bit.
In what department would you like to work? List all that apply…
"Mmm, Sports, Women's Apparel, Beach and Pool, Patio, Electronics, Books and Magazines, Toys, Girls' Apparel, Boys' Apparel, Baby and Toddler Apparel…These all sound interesting," Bella said to herself.
Please list your last three employers and reason for leaving.
Bella filled out the remaining lines in the application and then placed it in the indicated tray.
The Customer Service Associate smiled back at Bella.
"They will probably call you in a couple days for an interview. Good Luck!"
Bella smiled.
"Thanks."
"You're Welcome."
Bella got the job the following week, and she was so grateful. After about a month living in Donald's basement, she really needed to get out and do something. The boys and Daisy were slowly getting used to the idea of her and Melanie living at the house. Working in the Toy department at Duck-Mart is a welcome change to her stressful world.
Well, most of the time. Being in a toy department often brings in hyper children, and sometimes hyper parents. Bella could just imagine how wacky this place could be in the Christmas Season. Parents fighting bill and flipper for the last Tickle Me Quacky, the cruelest ploy for multi aspirin sales since the era they replaced Coca-Cola with New Coke.
Bella's duty for the shift, was to stock the shelves with the news toys.
A young duck about four-years-old grabs a toy out of the cart.
Bella smiled. What a cute little boy?
Bella lowered herself to be eye level with the boy.
"Where is your parents?" Bella asked.
The boy shrugged his shoulders. He embraced the toy he was hoarding and turned his back on Bella.
"Come on honey, you need to help me find your parents," Bella said in a gentle voice.
"Stranger!" the child shouted.
"Oh…I'm sorry," Bella continued in an easy voice. "Yes, I'm a stranger. And good, it's true; you should not trust strangers. Do you know where you last saw your Mommy and Daddy?"
"They are at work!" the child shouted.
Bella bit her bill this is going to be harder than she thought. She walked back to her register, and grabbed the phone.
"Ronnie?" shouted an older duck a few isles back. "Ronnie? Where are you?!"
"Sir?" Bella called out, waving her hands out, trying to gain the man's attention.
Bella looked back at the child.
"Is your name Ronnie?" Bella asked.
The boy nodded.
"Stranger!" he shouted again.
The adult male a few isles back, started to quickly walk toward Ronnie.
"Ronnie!" he shouted, as he was about to reach the boy. "There you are buddy!"
Ronnie placed his hands on his hips.
"May I have this?" he showed the man the toy he was holding.
The man placed his hand out to for Ronnie to give him the toy.
"No!" Ronnie said.
"Yes? I need to see how much?"
Ronnie surrendered the toy.
The man looked at the price tag.
"Uh-Uh," he replied.
"Yes!" Ronnie said back.
The man looks for something else on the cart.
"What about this buddy?" the man asked.
"But I don't have enough?" the man returned.
"NO! LP! NO!" the child shouted.
"Maybe some other time?" the man offered.
Ronnie threw the toy back into the cart.
"I'm sorry Miss," he said. "Hope Ronnie didn't give you too much trouble."
Bella laughed.
"Oh no, that's okay, I have three boys. Triplets actually. I remember this age very well…"
The man laughed.
"Must be a handful, Ronnie is actually my godson, but I love him all the same."
The man looks at his wristwatch. "Oh! I have to go. Maybe we will run into each other some other time? Maybe get to know a bit about the pretty lady I'm talking to?"
Bella blushed.
"Yes perhaps," she said.
"Come on!" Ronnie shouted.
