Chapter Four
Hoverboarding at the Skatepark
Dewey was skating down a half-pipe picking up speed as he goes up the other side into a fakie grind. He then goes down and up the other side again into a 360 before going back down. He goes up the other side to land on the walking area before coming to a stop.
" Nailed it " He practically screamed
May is skating picking up speed going over a launch ramp into an ollie. Before coming to a stop. She pumps her fist.
" Yeah " She screams
They both walk up to the bowl at the same time.
" Alright let's go " They both say at the same time
Dewey turns to his right; May turns to her left. They both have a surprised look on their face. Deweys' look of surprise quickly changes to a smile.
" Hi May " Dewey says with guesto
" Oh hey Dewey " May says back
" Didn't take you for a skater " He said
" Why are you surprised? It's awesome and I love all things awesome. " May says.
" Cool. So hey check this out " Dewey readies his board to drop into the bowl. He drops down picking up an incredible amount of speed as he does, he goes up the other side he performs a backside grind before going back down to the other side before performing a handstand before going back down into the bowl. He skates over in her direction before skating up the bowl and landing next to her. She waves him off.
" That's nothing watch this " May says with a smirk before she drops down into the bowl. She kicks and pushes building up speed as she goes up the other side doing multiple spins in the air before coming back down. She goes up the bowl and performs a backside grind before skating back down into it. She goes back into a stall before dropping back down again. She comes back up out of the bowl performing a 1080 flip as she lands
" Nice let me try that " Dewey says excitedly
" I think it might be a little too much for you to handle " May says confidently.
Dewey then proceeds to do the same. Landing next to her as she looks on in surprise
" Nailed it " Dewey says
May narrows her eyes at him before walking over to a rail
" Bet you can't do this " May says as she hops on to her board and picks up speed before proceeding to grind down the rail.
" That's easy " Dewey says as he does the same
May then flat out scowls at the blue cladded duck boy.
" What " Dewey asks confused
" Okay that's it. We are going to settle this once and for all " May
" Settle what " Dewey says still confused
" You think you can just come in here and show me up but I'm going to show you" May says aggressively
" What " Dewey says
" I challenge you to a race around the park " May says
" Okay I guess that could be fun " Dewey says
" It's not going to be fun when I crush you " May says
" Wait you what to crush me " Dewey says
Suddenly Gyro Gearloose appears
" Excuse me but I couldn't help but overhear your conversation " Gyro says suddenly
" Ahh " Dewey and May says at the same time
" Gyro what are you doing here " Dewey says surprised
" You know this weirdo " May asks as she turns to Dewey
" He works for my Uncle Scrooge. What are you doing here Gyro " Dewey asks
" I was actually getting to that before you two so rudely interrupted me. You two are trying to race right. Well race with those boring old skateboards when you can use these " Gyro says as he brandishes to skateboard like devices (Minus the wheels) from behind him. They both appeared to be made of an alloy of steel and gold and had rockets attached.
" What are they " May asks curious
" These are prototypes for hoverboards " Gyro explains
Both of them go wide eyed
" Hoverboards " Dewey repeats loudly
" No way. Cccccooooooollllll " May says excitedly.
They both say as they grab the hoverboards
" I need test sub.. Testers is what I was going to say. Are you guys willing " Gyro asks
" Totally " Dewey says still excited
" Absolutely " May says enthusiastically
A small crowd has formed around the two as they stand at a distance from each other with Gyro inbtween both of them.
" Alright . First one to complete say three laps is the winner sound good " Gyro asks
" Sounds good to me " Dewey responds
" What about you orange girl " Gyro asks as he turns to her
" The names May and it's okay with me "May say with attitude
" Now let show how they work. You step on the green button to go, the red button to stop and the arrow button accelerates it. Got it " Gyro asks them
" Got it prepare to eat my dust Dewey " May says with a smirk
" Frankly I'm just happy to get to ride one of these things " Dewey says
" Okay, let's start begin " Gyro says as he gets out of the way " The race will begin when I count down from three " Dewey and May get on the hoverboards as they float a couple feet off the ground
" THREE! TWO! ONE! GO! " Gyro screams as the two zoom off. They pass the half pipe fairly quickly before going around the bowl. They are zooming around the skate park as they go round completing the first lap
" This is awesome " Dewey screams
" Yah wicked " May screams
Dewey who is almost right next to May performs a trey flip accidentally knocking into her causing her almost fall off of her board.
" Hey " May screams angrily
" Sorry about that " Dewey says
" You did that on purpose. " May says lividly
" No I didn't ….." Dewey tries to get out before May rams into him causing him to the gate
" Ha " May says
Dewey gets up and shakes his head looking annoyed. May makes another as Dewey catches up to her quickly.
" Hey what the heck? You knocked me into a wall " Dewey says furiously
" It serves you right for trying to knock me off my board " May says aggressively
" It was an accident " Dewey says frantically
" Yeah right " May says in a hushed tone
" Okay you know what? I was just trying to have fun but it is so on " Dewey says before he kicks her board from underneath her causes her to fall on her face. She pulls her face looking absolutely irate. Dewey finishes another lap. As he does May suddenly comes up from behind him passing him as she does. She then aims her rockets at the ground kicking up dust blowing it in his face as she does. The dust gets in his face causes him to rub his eyes to try and get it out. She sticks out her tongue out at him as she does. She is about to pass the bowl when Dewey comes up behind her grabbing her by the shirt she then pushes him away. They unwittingly go off course towards the volcano. They are clashing holding gripping each other hands as they are launch up the volcano. They are high in the sky before they realise what has happened. They each look at the back of their boards as they go higher and higher before their board run out of fuel, they then look panicked before they go from clashing to holding each other as they start to fall. They are screaming.
The crowd look on mummering amongst themselves. Gyro upon seeing this pulls a grenade like device out of his pocket, clicks the button at the top of the device, and throws it. It inflates into a green air cushion. Dewey, May, and the hoverboards land on it bouncing a few times as they do. Gyro rushes over to them
" That was intense." Dewey says with a huge smile
"ARE YOU OKAY " Gyro asks
" Were fine. A little beat up but nothing broken I think... " Dewey tries to answer before being cut off
" Not you two. I was talking to my prototypes " Gyro says as he reaches for them " Still in one peace. I think I'll call this experiment a success " Gyro says as he walks off while writing in his notepad.
" Okay? Hey, May you okay? May? May?" Dewey trying to get her attention as she still lays there looking shocked, before she pops up
" Dewey. That. Was. Awesome." May screams
" I know right totally awesome " Dewey screams back
They are both smiling and breathing deeply as they look at each other before Mays' smile drops slightly.
" Um look I'm sorry about the way I acted back there. I can be a little overly competitive some times. I just want to prove that I'm the best, to try and stand out from my sisters, you know what I mean. I think it comes from having two other sister. " May explains
" May tell me about " Dewey says with a smile
She smiles back at him
" You know you're pretty cool Dewey " May says
" You're cool too May " Dewey responds
" Here let's take a picture together " May says as she gets out her phone. The two of them put their faces next to each other hands' on each other shoulders' as she snaps the picture.
