Disclaimers: Disney owns most of these characters. Dumbella's past as Bella Widgeon is mine, as are the characters of Melanie Widgeon, Cindy Ganderquack, Jeffery Ruddy, Ronnie and Lisa Mallard, and whomever else I mention in the future. Time Setting: About eight (8) years after the Darkwing Duck series. Rated TV-14 / PG-13
Note: A slightly revised copy. Thank you Crazy Girl Person for the heads up. Also, in case you have forgotten. Loopy is Launchpad's sister. She was on an episode of Ducktales years back titled "The Flying McQuacks" (I think that the was the title.) By my estimate she was between the ages of 18 and 22. Though she could have been as young as 16, but how I viewed it, she seemed more like a young adult than a teenager. She was a stereotypical Generation X girl of the 80's.

Chapter 3

"Aaaaah!" Darkwing yawned, so long that his jaw cracked.
"Hey DW," Launchpad called as he came down the stairs. "Might be a good idea to get out of that outfit, what if the Muddlefoots come to visit.
Darkwing flicked his wrist in a dismissive manner. But, after a few seconds he reconsidered, remembering that with how intrusive Herb is; this was a very possible outcome.
"Yeah..." Darkwing finally said, and within seconds, Darkwing was dressed as his civilian self, Drake Mallard.
"Okay happy now?" he yawningly added.
"Yup...I'm so excited."
Drake raised an eyebrow.
"Of course you are," Drake replied, putting an arm around his best friend. It just seems like yesterday when Morg and I tied the knot. Yeah...Yeah. Yeah. She's as beautiful as the day I met her. Maybe even more beautiful, even though I cannot imagine how that ever could be."
Launchpad smiled. "I just hope nothing in the crime community threatens the big day. I know Bella has been so very understanding with my chosen lifestyle, but I sense if we miss the wedding she will kill us."
Drake nodded. Even though Bella is usually a cool mannered, easy going individual, she has been known to have a temper from time to time.
"Don't worry, we can let GizmoDuck have the glory for once, unless of course you plan on inviting him;" The sentence was as much a question as it was a statement. And it was a question that actually was looking to be answered, even if Drake tried his best to be subtle.
Launchpad's mouth dropped. Did DW actually offer to relent on some glory? I mean this is the guy that almost destroyed his own wedding after he left four times do deal with one Fearsome Five event one after another. This was excluding the fact that Morgana threaten to leave him if he didn't refuse the secret SHUSH case that would have taken place during their honeymoon.
"Oh I know what you are thinking!" Drake announced, waving a finger in Launchpad's direction. "I was young and stupid seven years ago. I was this close to blowing it all with the love of my life. I won't let you do the same. And as your best man, it is my duty to remain at your side."
Launchpad smiled widely.
"Well, I guess that means I don't have to worry about the backup I arranged just in case."
Drake looked hurt.
"You set up a backup for moi?!"
Launchpad placed a hand on his closest friend's shoulder. "Kidding."
Drake crossed his arms. He couldn't help but wonder who this backup would be if Launchpad wasn't kidding. Fenton? It took all his resistance not to make a face.

"That was most delicious!" Cindy informed, as she finished the breakfast Morgana prepared.
"Why thank you," Morgana replied. "It is one of my favorite dishes myself."
Daisy wiped her chin with a napkin.
"What is it?"
Morgana smiled widely, yet, the marbles in her stomach were dancing.
"It's a McCawber specialty. Made with our own family grown mushrooms. They are gourmet! We make them in so many flavors!" Morgana announced, quite proud of her family's mushrooms.
"I also added the common omelet standby Green peppers and onions."
Daisy smiled.
"It's really good. What kind of meat is this? It's good, but it doesn't exactly taste like pork?"
Morgana smiled nervously, she stood by her food, even Bella came to enjoy her food, but she was not yet sure about her friends.
"Cobra Cutlets. I brought some over to grill for lunch, but decided to put a few in the omelet instead."
"Cobra Cutlets?" Daisy's eyes became wide, though she wasn't really disgusted; for the food tasted really good. Just the words Cobra Cutlets, the fact she was eating a snake was making her feel a little queasy. Or of course, it could be the other thing...or both.
Morgana bit her beak. Waiting to see if her announcement altered their opinion.
"Is it totally disgusting now?" Morgana inquired. "If people just listened to their tongues instead of their ears..."
"It's delicious," Daisy informed. "Quite unorthodox yes, but that doesn't matter...I just need a drink of water..."
Morgana crossed her arms and pouted. "Should I take that as a yes?" she directed to Bella. "I know you like my cooking."
"I love your cooking", Bella said. "I have been known to burn water...so, you know?"
"Humph!" Morgana shouted, before leaving in huff. If Daisy didn't like her food, she rather her say so than lie.
Bella sighed and laughed, in dismissive matter. "Hey Morgana! Don't take off."
She glanced at Daisy in a disapproving matter and hastily took on off after Morgana.
Daisy sighed, and looked helplessly at Cindy.
"Sweetie, you need to get yourself a pregnancy test."

Louie and Webby were on their way off the McDuck property, when a yellow taxicab entered the front gates.
Louie stopped his car at studied the cab for a few moments.
He rolled down his window, "Hey?"
"Louie!" the male voice shouted.
"Hey! Doofus!" Louie replied.
Webbigal unlatched her seat belt and stuck her head out the window instead.
"Doofus!!" she shouted.
She ran out the door and kissed Doofus on the cheek.
"I have missed you! Are you back for the wedding?!" she shouted excitedly.
Doofus kissed Webby back.
The two dated briefly in middle school. Since it was a relationship with an 11 and 14 year-old, it was nothing more than a few school events, and a couple group dates at the movies or local amusement park. The two broke up on good terms, as they realized they were more friends than anything else, plus the fact that Doofus was transferring to a school in California, which of course is in few hours away from Duckburg, Calisota.
"Sorry, I missed you three's graduations," Doofus said.
"Oh no problem, Doofus, " Louie said, frowning, "We missed yours last year too."
Doofus nodded, "Well, we live rather far away from each other now. I'm just glad that the old gang will be reunited again at Launchpad's wedding. I am so glad he finally getting married."
There was something in Doofus' voice that sounded off, when he just noticed there was one other person in that cab. Louie was curious that the cab had yet to leave.
"Guess who's late for Bridal shower campout for picking me up at the airport?" Doofus announced, as he helped a woman, eleven years his senior out of the cab. Doofus was a year older than the boys were, as he was 19, and Loopy was 30.
He then proceeded to kiss her on the lips.
Webby's mouth drop suddenly but she quickly covered it out of shame and embarrassment.
"This is surprising," she admitted.
"Uh yeah..." Louie quickly agreed. "Though, a good surprise...how you two meet?"
The female duck laughed.
"At the college. I teach an Aviation class at the Doofus's school."
"Wow, that's so freaky Loopy," Webby stated.
Loopy laughed, "Isn't it? Webby weren't you invited to the Bridal shower?"
Webby nodded. "Yeah, but I didn't feel comfortable going. I don't know Louie's mom that well. I'll be at the wedding though. You heading out to the camp?"
Loopy nodded. "And I'm already late. I was going to offer you a drive up if you were going."
Webby smiled, "No but thanks, but like I said, Grammy and I are going to the wedding. See you then?"
Loopy nodded. "Sure thing. Doofus honey, do you have a way home? I'm heading out."
Doofus opened his beak and looked toward Louie.
Louie nodded. "Of course, we need to catch up. Where are you staying?"
"The Duckbill Inn," Doofus answered.
Louie shook his head. "Come over to my house."
"You don't think your uncle will mind?"
"Why would he?" Louie replied. "You are an old friend of mine!"
That was enough for Doofus.
"Great! We just have to stop by later at the hotel and get my stuff!"
"No problem."

Ashley worked strenuously at her computer. She has been determined to know the her past ever since something that happened last winter forever changed what she thought she knew about her family and those she loved.
"Come on...Ducky, don't fail me now!" she told her laptop as she tried her best to decode the ever complex encryption code.
It was only eight years ago she ever found out her father was still alive. She heard her mother discuss him to a friend so many years ago. Her parents broke up many years ago, when she was only an infant. She knew the initial separation was that of a divorce, but after constant inquiries of her father's whereabouts, she was told by her mother...well, the woman she thought was her mother, that her father was dead.
And after her "mothers" disappearance just four years ago, she finally came to live with her father, though, for the most part she spent her time living in a dorm or at the apartment at MoonBeam.
That all went down hill since Christmas...when the letters came, ones that stated that she was to inherit some puzzle box on her 21st birthday. Something her lost mother wanted her to have. Something SHUSH had locked up.
