So, we're on hiatus and the most we'll wait is October. I've decided to take advantage of this and update this story every Saturday in place of the show. Hopefully, I'll be able to do that and restrain myself from updating any earlier. I was going to try to stay up till midnight to update but holy smokes, I'm not a night person like you Jordan! I can't stay up at 3 or 2. I have to sleep! I then wake up around 4 or 5 to witness the sunrise. That's better for me. So expect this story to be updated around saturdays between 5 and 6 pm pacific time. Hopefully.
And a fun fact about me, my name is Jocabed but all my friends call me Jo…. Just something I thought I should mention before you read this chapter.
dalek117 - The plan is just getting in motion. Why would it get foiled so soon. And believe me, this was the first round of the robo battle, at least 2 others are coming. And no! Everyone will get hurt! And your right about the magical object. No one will ever guess! I know for sure no will ever get it right. And the thing is, I've been hinting at it since chapter 1!
Angelwings2002 - She says thanks. And Lunaris isn't the only villain I want to add in. And I'm not sure about the food thing. And I love Boyd!
Unknown - After that Boyd episode, how could I not. It was fantastic and I felt like I had to do a chapter with him to show how amazing his charter is. And I don't know, was it HERO? And the plan is slowly revealing itself.
GiddyReflections - I want the three to interact! And Gosalyn does seem that type. Well just have to wait but the hiatus is going to kill me!
Disney Boy - Thanks and I'm not saying who the robot belongs to just yet. I cut that comedy moment completely but part of it is here.
Boss Teal - Oh dang, I just realized that! Thanks!
Jpbake - Heck yeah we are getting Lunaris. You have Disney Boy to thank for that. He's actually helping a lot in this story and especially the sequel. And nothing will come easy for the Mcducks so of course I had to almost kill Lena and louie. And PDA is always unwelcomed for me too. It's so awkward.
Lilbree - A lot of us hate Lunaris too. Thanks, the chapter took a lot out of me. And yes, they do have half, and soon over half. One thing to think about, don't trust jewelry. So keep an eye out at the party. And lizzette is written to not learn her lesson until it's too late. And there is a musical number coming up that'll explain the dream.
therealjordan23 - THAT WHOLE THING WAS THE REFERENCE! And don't worry. I usually wait 10 days to let any late reviewers come in. Your no morron corazon. And thanks, you're just as talented. And you know I'll use any blurb, sorry I couldn't use this one cause Lena is in the middle of the ocean. And I can say the same about you, I get excited to see what your next chapter will have. And Zeus is prideful, we all know he'll do anything to best Scrooge. And yes, Lena is magical here. I'm sure she is as long as she has her amulet. And I try not to write Lena too controlling. I didn't have her be overprotective of Violet when she heard she was going to be Hueys date to the dance. She only began when Huey started being out of character. Love you and sorry I couldn't use the blurb. .
Guest - All will be revealed soon.
tbo - I'm having a lot of fun reading these. Thanks! I lagged at how accurate I was, yes I dance while cooking, mostly broadway music. The only thing I'll change are the hard shell tacos. We make our own tortillas and stuff them with beef. Love it!
dewdrop - OTP - hmmm…. Huey x Violet. I know Webby x Dewey is huge but nerds are nerds and I love nerds. Violet is so motherly and Huey definitely needs that type of person in his life. Have you seen Huey in his full melt down mode? The woodchuck race is a prime example of how she is so gentle and motherly.
LIKE - Dewey x Webby. They're my second favorite. I love their dynamic and how they are two partners in crime! Too adorable! They are always there for each other and never leave each other no matter what.
OKAY - Della x Launchpad. People shipped these two for a good while. I was about to board the ship but changed my mind. I prefer Della as a single mother. I'm reading a story called Rewrite the Stars that is really well written. It's a good story and I recommend it.
DISLIKE - Scrooge x Magica. I'm sorry! I love Goldie too much to want her to lose Scrooge to Magica. And I ship Magica with Gladstone because in the comics, Magica actually falls in love with Gladstone and he falls in love with her. Only if they didn't let their pride get in the way!
BROTP - …. Launchpad x Drake… (Hides in an underground bunker with all the weapons in the world to protect me) KIDDING! Kinda….. I do see Launchpad and Drake as bros but I have to give this spot to Huey and Boyd. Huey and Boyd are friendship goals. They have a relationship that I see in Hero and Baymax. BBF! Best Bot Friend!
Here we go!
"I wasn't expecting our second date to be spying on your brother's date." Webby teased. She and Dewey were at a buffet and while this was a nice place for a date, they were actually there to spy on Huey on his date with Violet. Dewey nervously laughed at the mention of a second date. He never expected to date this lovable girl but here he was.
"I just want to make sure he's safe. I feel really bad for him and his relationship with Violet seems really off," Dewey said.
"Couldn't agree more. And I'm not complaining. I like to think spying should be a regular dating activity," Webby told him causing a laugh from Dewey. The two looked around the restaurant in an attempt to find Huey.
"I'll check outside," Webby said. Dewey nodded and watched her leave, Once she was gone, Dewey hurried across the place, desperately trying to find his brother.
"Where are they?" Dewey dashed across the buffet tables, whipping his gaze everywhere trying to get a glimpse of his brother, "He couldn't just disappear."
Before he knew it, Dewey slammed against another guy. All the food the guy had spilled all over his shirt and hair. Dewey panicked and pulled out some napkins nearby.
"I am so sorry sir," Dewey said as he handed him the napkins. The guy didn't seem to mind so much. He was a black and white duck with a black beak, just a couple inches taller than him.
"It's ok," He said as he picked up his plate and left. Dewey nervously looked around again, trying to spot Huey in the crowd. He then felt his phone vibrate and in a flash he checked it.
I found him! They're outside near the lake. ~ Webby
Dewey silently celebrated and replied back. He put the phone back in his pocket and ran out. Webby was at the door and the second she saw Dewey, she pointed at the lake. There they were, eating their food and laughing. To anyone else, they looked like a normal couple being all lovey-dovey, but to them, it was something much more serious.
"I'll watch from here just in case one of them leaves to get more food," Webby told him. Dewey nodded and ran towards the lake and slowed down when he thought he was close enough.
There was a tree and a couple of bushes dividing Huey and Violets' table from another table nearby. Dewey rushed to the nearby table to see a female violetear hummingbird sitting down by herself. She looked rather friendly. Gold colored glasses, small, neat hair tied in a half ponytail, and a nice school uniform.
"Is this seat taken?" Dewey asked as he grabbed the seat next to the girl. The girl looked up from her book and to him with a confused look.
"I'm sorry but my…." Dewey didn't even let the girl answer. He hopped on the chair and listened in close to Huey and Violet's conversation.
"HERO is a highly advanced computer," Huey told her as he let the little robot walk around the table like a child, "He observes everything around him and stores all the data in his memory core. For example, if he were to get in a robot fight, he would observe the opponent's moves and study how they attack. He then will strategize a new attack that'll defeat the other robot."
Dewey nearly fell asleep at this conversation. Were nerd dates really this boring? The second HERO turned his head to look at the table Dewey was at, the blue triplet was quick to react. He dived under the table, knocking the girls' drink all over her shirt.
"Is everything ok?" The girl asked, not even bothered by the fact she's drenched in tea.
Dewey gave her a harsh shush making the girl nervous. She looked back down at her book and tried to act like he wasn't there.
"Is he still looking?" Dewey whispered.
"What?" The girl asked, still feeling awkward about this stranger.
"The robot thing, is he still looking?" Dewey said a little louder. The girl glanced her eyes towards the table ahead and saw HERO was now just sitting down with his back turned to her.
"I don't believe so," The girl said. Dewey sighed in relief and sat back down on the chair.
"Thanks for putting up with this," Dewey said as he grabbed some napkins from the table. He patted down the spills on the girl's shirt, trying to be polite and dry off her clothes. The girl awkwardly looked behind Dewey before looking down in embarrassment, "I know it's weird having a stranger sit down with you but I really need to be here. I….."
"What are you doing?" Dewey heard a harsh voice behind him. He almost dropped the napkins when he looked back to see the same black and white duck he ran into. The guy was much more intimidating looking than the girl. Piercing blue eyes almost hidden behind his messy hair, light muscles, and much taller than him. The girl scooted further away from Dewey and slowly looked back in her book.
"Sorry, I just really needed to sit here and I spilled some tea on her. You see my brother is…"
"Get away from my girlfriend," the guy demanded.
"Yeah I should," Dewey didn't need to be told twice. He quickly got up and ran off. At the stairs, Webby was snickering at what just happened.
"Smooth," Webby teased him.
"Oh be quiet," Dewey playfully told her as he sat down on the stairs. He returned to his brother and Violet. "They seem to be normal. Huey is just talking about nerd stuff and Violet is making googly eyes at him. Nothing seems to be wrong."
Webby looked at the couple, her eye's narrowing and fingers tapping.
"I've known Violet for almost half my life. She's not usually like this….. let me get a closer look." Webby ran to the lake.
At the tree, she swiftly hopped onto a high branch and pulled herself up, nearly kicking the table from the couple Dewey interrupted. The boy looked at his girlfriend completely confused and she only responded with a shrug. Webby climbed to the very top and looked down towards Huey and Violets table. She could barely hear what they were saying if she didn't stay silent. After a while of laughing, Hueys' face slowly melted into a half frown and half-smile. He looked at Violet with a weak smile before saying.
"Vi I….. There's something I really need to tell you," Violet picked up on his distress right away and set down her food. Huey held onto her hands and refused to even look at her, "It's about my family. We….."
Huey suddenly stopped. Webby held onto her breathe, worried he might hear her. There was an eerie silence between him and Violet like they never even started a conversation. They sat still, not moving a single muscle. Violet at least shifted a bit in her seat but Huey looked like he just became stone.
"We need to talk somewhere else," Huey told her. He got up and led Violet away from their table.
Webby looked at them as if they just turned into completely different people. Did Huey hear her? Why the sudden urge to move? Whatever it was, it sent chills down Webbys spine and she didn't like it one bit. She pulled out her phone and texted Dewey.
They're moving. Keep an eye on them from a distance just in case ~ Webby
Got it. ~ Dewey
Webby hopped off the tree landing near the couple they kept interrupting and ran off in a blink of an eye. The girl looked entertained while the boy was still confused. Webby then dashed back and looked over the girl's shoulder.
"Oh! I love that book!" Webby pointed out the novel the girl had, "Sweet Duck of Youth right?"
The girl happily nodded yes and said, "I was always fond of mystery. It's rather interesting….." The girl was about to comment on something but Webby beat her to it.
"Can you believe the fountain of youth only shows you your youth in your reflection and not gives you youth. I love that twist! It's a great play on words and messages about age," the girl looked at Webby then back her book completely confused, "Well, gotta go."
The girl didn't even look back at Webby. She just stared at her book that was on page 10, meaning she just started the book. She flipped through the pages until she came to the end.
"The elderly man then says 'The Fountain of Youth does not make you young it only makes your reflection young!' Then the elderly man gets upset that he had spent over 30 years of his life searching for this fountain that turned out to be a hoax of what he was led to believe it was." The girl read out loud, very disappointed she was spoiled about the ending.
Back with Dewey, he had lost sight of Huey and Violet. He could only see Webby running further away, searching for their friends. Dewey decided to do what Webby did and climb the tree to get a better look. He ran to where Huey and Violet were sitting and tried to climb up the tree, only he wasn't much of a high jumper like Webby.
"Dang it," Dewey mumbled to himself. He looked for anything to help him step up to reach the branch. Behind him, he saw the violetear hummingbird was about to get out of her seat, "May I use this?"
Before she could answer, Dewey pulled the girl's seat away, almost knocking her down. He used the chair to reach the branch and climbed up. The guy from the table stood up angrily and looked like he was about to pull Dewey down.
"Jordan, mi rey, don't," the girl stood up as well and held him back, "He's clearly just nervous about something."
"Nervous or not, he has no right of stealing the chair like that," Jordan huffed. The girl pulled him back to his chair and grabbed hers back.
"Let's just do some bird watching like we planned," the girl reached into her purse and pulled out some binoculars.
Right when she sat back down, Dewey jumped down and looked like he was searching for something. His eyes lit up when he saw the binoculars.
"Can I use these? Just for a quick minute?" Dewey asked her. Before she could answer, Jordan pulled her closer to him and away from Dewey.
"I don't know what your problem is with us but…."
"It's ok, he can borrow them," the girl handed the binoculars to a grateful Dewey.
"Your lifesaver! Thank you," Dewey hugged the girl out of nowhere and took her chair again. This time she really did fall to the ground causing a sorry from Dewey. He used it again to climb up the tree and disappeared in the leaves. Jordan looked at his girlfriend and gestured to the tree angrily.
"Jo, ma reine, as much as I respect and love you, can I please just beat this guy to the ground?" Jordan begged her as he helped her up.
"You're really hot-headed, you know that?" Jo joked as she grabbed her chair and sat back down. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a hug.
"And you're too nice," he hugged back. He placed a kiss on her forehead before resting his head on top of hers.
At the tree, Dewey kept his eye out for the couple. He checked the right, the left, and even up. There was absolutely nothing, it was like they just disappeared. After a moment of confusion, he felt his phone ring and he answered.
"Hello?" He said.
"I lost them," Webbys voice came out of the other end, "It's weird. I swear they were in my sight just a couple of moments ago."
"They couldn't just disappear," Dewey argued. He scanned the whole area but no matter how hard he looked, he just couldn't spot the red loving duck. Dewey groaned in annoyance and said, "check the left side of the lake, I'll check the right side."
"Got that," Webby confirmed and hung up. Dewey sighed in worry. It wasn't like Huey to leave the mansion without telling anyone, Louie he understood by Huey?
"You're showing signs of trouble," HEROs voice suddenly broke Dewey from his thoughts. Dewey looked down and lost the placing of his hands, making him slip and fall on the table HERO was on.
"What?" Dewey moaned in pain. HERO just stood there, looking at the blue triplet.
"You're showing signs of trouble," HERO repeated. Dewey continued to look at the small robot completely bewildered but HERO continued, "Your body seems to be releasing stress hormones including adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol. And considering you were just up in the tree, I predict you were attempting to spy on Huey to see if he was ok."
"I…. Huey gave you a big brain for such a tiny robot," Dewey rolled off the table and sat down. HERO took a few steps closer to Dewey, took a left, walked in front of a plate, laid on it, and rolled over to the side before sitting down. Dewey chuckled at the robot mimicking him.
"I'm programmed to help. I….."
"Say, if you could sense me in the tree, how are you at hide and seek," Dewey suddenly started making small talk.
"My senses are enhanced so I can find anyone as quickly as possible." HERO answered before going back to his first statement, "I am programmed to help, I sense you are …."
"Do you think you can help me find some basketballs? I keep losing them," Dewey asked.
"Yes, I can. I sense you are wo…" HERO was interrupted again.
"What about pets? If I lose one more turtle, Uncle Donald will kill me," Dewey sounded like he was stalling now.
"Yes, you are worried…."
"What about…."
"Don't stall because you are afraid," HERO said shutting Dewey's beak up. The blue triplet gawked at the robot for a while before leaning back in his seat. He slumped down, feeling some sadness fall on his shoulders.
"I'm not afraid," Dewey said as calmly as he could.
"You are worried about Huey, right?" HERO said in his usual robotic tone. Dewey let a heavy sign out. There was just no hiding with this little guy. HERO didn't need a reply to continue talking, "Huey is in good condition. He's happy, healthy, and he appears to be emotionally stable as well. What are you worried about."
"I…. I just want to make sure he's safe, ok," Dewey couldn't believe this robot is making him open up. He looked down to the ground and thought about what to say next, "Huey has always been my brother. I know him, I know how he behaves and what he likes. I refuse to believe he would patch things up this quickly with Violet….. but again…. I did doubt him a lot lately."
Dewey threw himself forward and placed his elbows on the table. His hands placed over his face and fingers messing up his hair. Why was he feeling so small all of a sudden? He was happy when he first came to Duckburg. Full of hope and faith for his family. Full of pride in himself. Why couldn't he feel the same pride when it came to his brothers.
"I doubted Huey and placed that stupid second drop. I let him go to Lizzette to get that potion. I doubted him and now look where that got him," Dewey's voice was just at the edge of breaking. HERO took notice of Dewey's voice change and his sad body language.
"So you believed Huey couldn't solve his own problems?" He asked.
"Don't rub it in," Dewey mumbled, "I want Huey to be happy, and I just want to make sure he's ok. Even after all my dumb mistakes."
"Huey is a smart boy. He can find a solution to almost anything. If you don't want to have doubt in Huey, why are you spying on him?" HERO asked. Dewey felt a sting of guilt on his chest. Did he just get lectured by a little robot?
"I guess…. that makes sense." Dewey didn't sound too sure of himself, "Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm overreacting about all this. I should just grab Webby and go."
"Happy to be a service," HERO chimed. He stood up and made his way to the edge of the table. He took a step off the table, letting his legs stretch down to the ground. The smaller bots that formed him were now like chains between his feet and little body. He elevated down, slowly erasing the chains of small robots.
"Whoa, I never knew you could do that," Dewey was impressed by his new skill.
"Huey programmed some new skills in my memory core last night," HERO said as he walked away. He walked into the bush and out of Dewey's sight.
"Where are you going?" Dewey smiled at the randomness of the robot leaving.
"To tell Huey about you," HEROs said from behind the bushes.
"What?" Dewey stood up and rushed to the bush, catching sight of the mini robot. He dived down and held HERO in his grasp, "You're not going to tell him that Webby and I are here right?" Dewey asked, very worried.
"Huey said that I need to inform him of anything that happens while he's gone," HERO told him. He broke apart into mini bots and slipped out of Deweys grasp. He walked off while rebuilding himself again.
"HERO wait!" Dewey tackled the little robot underneath a table. Dewey kept grabbing onto HERO but the robot would keep breaking apart and slipping out of his hands, "I'll pay you if you don't tell Huey! What do you like? Oil? Bolts?"
"I'm sorry Dewey but I have to obey my master," HERO told him. When he saw that Dewey would stop scooping him up, he created a small ball of electricity and shocked Deweys hands. Dewey cried out in pain and shot up, banging his head on the table he was underneath.
On the table, Dewey caused all the cups to spill and the food to fall. Jordan was practically getting ready to pull Dewey from underneath but Jo held him back.
"He's crazy, he's rude, he's spilled everything on the table," Jordan tried to tell her, "What is he even doing down there?"
"Stop breaking apart like that! You're like tiny ants and it's creepy," Dewey shouted. This left the couple confused. Jo yelped in pain and pulled her feet up on the chair.
"Something electrocuted me," she said rubbing her ankle. Jordan was about to dive in after Dewey but Jo placed her hand on his shoulder to stop him. Before she could say anything to calm him down, Dewey again screamed in pain, and this time he flipped the table over. He threw himself onto the ground and continued to reach for HERO. Jordan glanced at Jo, not even saying anything cause she knew what he wanted to do.
"Let's just take a walk," she suggested. Jordan could only sigh and let her pull him away.
"I can't leave Huey uninformed, he said I must…." HERO was interrupted.
"Huey already has enough on his plate. He doesn't need to know I was spying on him!" Dewey begged.
HERO again broke apart but didn't rebuild in one. He rebuilt into two HEROs. They were half the size that he used to be. Dewey's eyes widened at this sight. He definitely didn't know HERO could do that. One HERO ran right while the other ran left. Dewey looked to his right and left, completely confused about what to do next. He soon got back up and chased after the one that was closest to the lake. The little guy was only 3 inches but it was much faster now.
The tiny robot ran underneath many tables and people, making Dewey do the same. He knocked over many tables and people but he didn't care. He needed to catch the little guy.
He soon came to the docs of the lake where some boats were parked. HERO dashed past Jordan and Jo who were walking on the docs. He stopped at the very edge of the docs and looked down at the water. He was cornered.
"Awe, cute little guy," Jo kneeled down to get a closer look at the robot. HERO squinted his eyes, looking flattered at the attention. But his eyes soon widened when he saw Dewey running to him. HERO, thinking fast, jumped into the lake. Jo was startled by the sudden movement but shrugged it off.
"You better stay down!" Dewey cried out at HERO. He tried to slow down when he reached the docs but his speed didn't let him stop in time. He rammed behind Jo, pushing her into the lake. Dewey panicked and kneeled down to help her up.
"I'm so sorry!" Dewey held onto her hand and pulled her up, "I wasn't aiming at you. I was aiming at…."
Dewey didn't even get a chance to finish his sentence. Jos' eyes widened and she ducked down faster than Dewey could process. He felt Jordan shove him off the docs and into the lake. Jo looked at her boyfriend in utter surprise.
"What?" He asked as if nothing happened.
With Webby, she was walking around the lake. She didn't want to be spotted by Violet or Huey so she moved as slowly as she could.
"You're leaving?" She heard Violet's voice. Webby swiftly ran behind a tree and looked around. She spotted the two sitting near the lake and talking. Violet's head was bowed down and her shoulders were slumped. Her face may have been covered by her hair but just by the sound of her voice, Webby could tell she was about to cry, "I thought you were staying for 3 more days?"
"I did too but Uncle Donald had other plans," Huey let out a sorrowful sigh. He held onto Violet's hands and bowed his head as well, "We're leaving today at midnight."
The second Huey said this, Webby felt like she was sucker-punched to the stomach. Leaving? So soon? Feeling like she was going to be sick, Webby pressed her back against the tree and slid down. She buried her face into her knees and continued to listen in.
"When are you coming back?" Violet's voice sounded completely broken. The same could be said for Webby. She felt her tears start to swell up behind her lids.
"I don't think we ever are. The situation here just keeps getting worse," Huey's answer made Webbys heart start to crack. Her tears began to slip from her eyes and fall down her cheeks. She knew the boys had to leave Duckburg but why did they have to leave so soon.
"Do any of our other friends know?" Violet asked, her voice completely broken.
"Not yet. Uncle Donald is going to announce it once everyone is back in the mansion." Huey answered.
This one sentence alone made Webby not want to go back home. If she did she'll have to hear this awful news again. It already felt like a sword jabbing into her heart, she didn't need it to go any deeper.
"No…. Dewey," Webby whispered. This meant she would never see him again. When she felt like the pain was too much to bare, she got on her feet and ran off.
"I would really appreciate it if you took this before I left," Huey let go of one of Violet's hands and reached into his hat. He pulled out a silver chain necklace with a violet-colored gem on it.
"A necklace?" Violet wiped away some of her tears and looked at the shimmering gem. Huey nodded and gave a soft smile.
"I made it just this morning. I found the gem laying around and thought of you," Huey said gently. Violet smiled weakly and pushed her hair back. Huey happily wrapped the necklace around her neck and was filled with joy seeing the gem resting on top of her shirt. Violet quickly pulled Huey into a hug, holding him tightly as if he was the last thing she had.
At sea, Boyd has finally dried up and was able to get Louie and Lena on the Island of Ithaquack.
"Thanks for the ride…." Louie hopped off of Boyd and felt like he was about vomit.
"You ok?" Lena helped Louie stand up.
"Yeah, just a little light-headed from fainting," Louie shook his head. They made their way to the temple and were let in almost right away.
"You kids here to talk about the party?" Selen asked a little cheerfully.
"Party?" Louie repeated. The curiosity in his tone was enough to tell the goddess he didn't know.
"Oh, just a party happening at the beach for the McDuck family," Selen tried not to panic Louie. If he didn't know about the going away party, then, Donald most likely hadn't told them yet that they were leaving.
"For us? For what?" Louie asked as he continued to follow Selen across the temple.
"I'm not 100% sure," Selen fibbed. She didn't want to be the one who broke the news to him, "So what brings you three across the ocean?"
"We need to see Lizzette and Abigor," Lena got straight to the point.
"I'm afraid that won't be possible. You see we…"
"Send them to the underworld, we know," Lena said, "We need to go there."
"Go? To the underworld?" Selen stopped walking and turned to look at them in shock, "No one has ever gone down there willingly. Usually they're kidnapped or go in for a rescue mission."
"We know what we're doing, don't worry," Louie assured her, " We just really need to see them."
"Hmmm…. I guess if you're so sure about this….. " Selen waves them over and leads them to another room. It was rather dark with only a few torches lighting up the place. Selen walked up to a lever and pulled it down causing the room to shake. In the middle, a circle door opened up revealing a large set of stairs.
"Stairs?" Louie ground in annoyance, "I thought it was some kind of highway or something."
"No time for complaining, come on boys," Lena was the first to enter. Boyd and Louie looked at each other and shrugged.
"Thank you Selen," Boyd said before disappearing into the darkness below.
"Good luck!" The goddess waved goodbye.
Step by step, the sound echoed in the atmosphere. It was cold, it was dark, with nothing but a single torch every now and then lighting the way on a wall.
"Kinda chilly," Louie commented.
"You would think it's steaming hot," Lena followed the comment.
The deeper they went, the more heat they felt. They could hear some moans and cries in the distance, sending shivers down their spine. They gulped down their fear and continued down the stairs. They can see why no one was willing to visit this place. After what seemed like hours, they made it to the bottom where they entered a rocky and brown cave.
"Huh, welcoming," Lena sarcastically said.
"So now what?" Boyd asked.
As if on cue, a roaring bark made everyone cover their ears. The ground began to shake and ricks were sliding off the walls.
"What is that?" Louie cried out, still holding his ears shut.
A large dog hopped over the three and came face to face with them. The three yelled at the sight of the three-headed and backed away. The dogs bit down, trying to grab the teens. When one of the heads dived down after Louie, Lena tossed a rock at its eye. The head lifted itself up and glared at the female duck.
"Come at me!" Lena challenged. The dog didn't back down and raced after her. Lena's eyes widened at the sight of her mistake, " I gotta shut my big mouth."
Lena hopped off of the boulder she was on and ran off. The dog swiped its paw to the side and slammed Lena against the cave wall. It pinned her to the wall by pushing its nose against her. Lena yelled at the painful contact but couldn't do anything about it. Just look into its blood-red eyes and wait for her fate.
"Cerberus! Sit!" They heard a familiar voice. A voice they never thought they would be happy to hear. The dog released Lena and sat down right away. Not too far away, Lizzette came into the scene and looked at the teens with worry, "You guys ok?"
Louie and Lena were surprised by her politeness. Boyd, on the other hand, was the first to speak.
"Yes, we are. Thank you for asking." Boyd happily said.
Lizzette walked up to Cerberus and scratched his leg, "Cerberus isn't so bad once you know how to talk to him. Isn't that right boy!"
"Lizzette, we need to talk to you about something," Lena didn't want to talk to this girl but she knew she had to.
"Ok sure," Lizzette chimed, "But one question….. Who are you and how do you know my name?"
Originally, the couple was just two random characters Webby and Dewey were going to disturb, but hey…. If I'm going to have two nameless characters in the chapter, why not just make it a cameo with Jordan and I?
Fun fact about me: I ADORE hummingbirds! My favorites are the Bee Hummingbird. Smallest little birdies ever! Weighs less than a dime! Violet Saberwings! Yes, that is an actual hummingbird, Frank just loves playing with names like that. Violet Saberwings are just drop dead gorgeous! Their shiny dark purple feathers are beautiful! Anna's hummingbird, beautiful dark pink color on their heads and gray feathers on the body. It makes them look like they're wearing a mask. Like tiny wrestlers or little birds going to a little birdie masquerade ball! And the Mexican Violetear! Mostly because I have Mexican inheritance. XD. But their metallic shiny feathers! They are like tiny peacocks!
Ok I'm done gushing over tiny birds, Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
