Misadventures in Babysitting
Daisy who was in her business attire was roaming around her small two bedroom apartment as smoke is coming from the kitchen area. The triplets can be heard off screen;
" April, are those pancakes ready yet? ``I'm starving " May says
" Judging by the smoke, you're going to continue to starve " June says
Daisy is looking under her throw pillows and then her cushions. She looks at the couch with a mildly distressed look on her face.
" Girls have you seen my phone " Daisy called to them
" No " April calls back
" Haven't seen it " May said
" Did you check your purse " June said
Daisy goes to her purse on the table and looks inside to try to find her phone. She pulls her phone out
" Huh it was in my purse. I could have sworn I left it on the charger " Daisy mumbled
Inside the kitchen the triplets are eating pancakes as June winks to her siblings while they just look at her with a knowing smile. Daisy dials a number on her phone and holds it to her ear
" Yes hello. You were supposed to be here fifteen minute ago. Where are you " Daisy slightly annoyed
The babysitter is in the middle of nowhere as she answers
" I don't know "
Daisy who hangs up the phone before putting it back in her purse
" Last time I hire a sitter from online " Daisy grumbled as she walked into the kitchen
" What's wrong Aunt Daisy " April asks sitting and eating with her siblings
" I don't think she's going to get here in time " Daisy says
" Oh well that's unfortunate. Guess you'll have to leave us here by ourselves " June says
" I don't know if that's a good idea " Daisy said plainly
" Oh Aunt Daisy we'll be fine for the day " June say waving her off
" Are you sure because I can call off " Daisy says
" That won't be necessary. You go off to work now " June says
" Alright. If you girls think you'll be okay for the day " Daisy says as she heads for the door
" Come on Aunt Daisy what's the worst that could happen " May says confidently
Suddenly the stove catches fire as the girls all jump back slightly and Daisy slowly turns around to see it.
" You just had to leave the oven on April " May said frustrated
" You two said you could get her out of the house by 8:30 " April said back
" Man, we would have been half way to McDuck manor by now. We never get to have any fun. " June liments
Daisy is in her car with the triplets driving up to McDuck Manor. The three perk up upon reaching the destination.
" Huh. What do you know, it all worked out " May said
They all enter the mansion. They look around as Scrooge enters. Scrooge notices them
" Oh hello Daisy. What are you doing here " Scrooge asked
" Well I need a favor " Daisy asks in a high pitched voice
" What kind of favor " Scrooge asks in a curious voice
" Well thing is I... " Daisy asks before stops upon hearing voices coming their way
That's when Donald, Della, Webby and the boys enter
" I think I'm going to be okay guys. Thanks for being there for me " Donald says happily
" Oh please. What's family for " Della says as she smacks his back
" It's good to see that your finally starting to feel better Uncle Donald " Huey says enthusiastically
They all freeze upon seeing Daisy and the triplets
" Ah phooey " Della says
The boys look happy upon seeing the girls. The girls in turn rush over to them
" Hey Huey " April says cheerfully
" Hey April " Huey says back
" So I read the entirety of the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook " April says
" Huh. What was your favorite " Huey asks
" The chapter about color arrangement " April answers
" I enjoyed that chapter as well but I think my favorite chapter would have to be The Road Trip ericute chapter " Huey says back enthusiastically
" May " Dewey says doing finger guns at her
" Dewey " She does it back before they high five
" Louie. My man " June says
" June just the duck I wanted to see. I have a business proposition " Louie say cheekily
" I'm listening " June curiously
" I haven't worked out all the details yet but I can if all goes to correctly let's just say it could turn a huge profit. You in? " Louie asks
" Does it involve a lot of work " June asks lazily
" Not too much on our end " Louie says
" Hhhhmmmm I'll think about it " June says
" Daisy. What are you doing here " Donald asks with a hint of panic in his voice
" I came here because I needed a favor " Daisy says nervously
" You got a lot of nerve thinking you could come here and just ask for a favor " Della angry in her voice
" Now Della. Daisy what's the favor " Scrooge asks softly
" I need you to watch the girls for me while I'm at work " Daisy spat out
" Okay. That shouldn't be too much of a problem " Scrooge says happily
" Oh thank you. Girls be good for Mr McDuck, Mr Donald and Miss Della. Okay I'll be back at 5:30. Love you " Daisy says as she's leaving out the door
" Bye Aunt Daisy " The three of them say at the same time
Donald then runs out of the room. The boys and Webby looking concerned while the girls are just confused
" Donald. Wait! Wait! Ugh " Della says as she reaches for Donald " We were starting to get him to feel better, that witch just had to show and ruin it. She is just the worst "
" Hey. That's uncalled for " May says
" Well it's not like it's undeserved. She is just an awful woman " Della responds
" I don't appreciate the way you're talking about our Aunt " May says narrowing her eyes and lowering her voice
May gets up in Della face as Della also narrows her eyes. They proceed to have a little stare down as Della growls a little while May growls back. Dewey and April then pull May back.
" Okay let's calm down a little " April says
" Yeah come on May let's go do something fun " Dewey says as they pull her away from Della. The two don't break their stare down as May is being pulled away.
Dewey is hiding behind a tree in the backyard. He's holding a water balloon. He pokes his head from behind it. He notices May looking around some buses. He then jumps out from behind the tree hitting her. She turns around looking annoyed.
" Haha. Got ya " Dewey shouted
Webby then hangs upside down from the tree that's above May and pelts him with water balloons.
" Ahh " Dewey screams
" That'll teach you to use sneak attacks " Webby says before hits her with water balloons causing her to fall out of the tree into a bush. She pops up out of the bush looking annoyed
" What the …? I was trying to help you " Webby says defensive
" Rule number one of water balloon war: there's no friendships " May says menacingly
April is looking around walking backwards as she bumps into Huey. They are both startled as they jump forward. April attempts to throw a water balloon at Huey only to throw it straight up in the air before it comes back down landing on her head. Huey just looks confused.
Louie is laying in a lawn chair, drinking a soda as June comes up next to him holding a water balloon.
" Louie, what are you doing " June asks
" I don't really feel like getting wet, so I'm sitting this one out " Louie says plainly
" So you're not playing then " June says disappointed
" Nope. So you can go throw that water balloon at someone else " Louie says in a matter off-act voice
" Okay I won't throw this at you " June says with a smile
" Good " Louie says with a smile, before he is hit with said water balloon
" What the heck June? I thought we agreed you wouldn't throw that at me "
" I didn't throw at you; I hurled it at you " June says in her own matter of-fact voice while Louie just looks at her annoyed.
Donald is in his bedroom on the house-boat, curled up in a fetal position. Banging against the door can be heard from the outside. Della suddenly calls from outside the door;
" Donald come on open up. It's going to be okay "
Dewey and May are preparing to hit each other with water balloons when suddenly Storkules lands in the yard causing a small shock wave as he does. All of the child, surround him in amazement and curiosity
" Storkules my man. What's going on " Dewey says cheerfully
" Storkules, I never thought I'd get the chance to meet him. This is going in my Junior Woodchuck guidebook " April says with enthusiasm
" Look at his muscles " May as she grabs on to his arm
" Look you can admire my muscle later right. Right now I require rest " Storkules says frantically
" What happened " Huey says concerned
" While visiting Ithaquack got into a battle with fearsome hydra. Unforntunately it overpowered me. I narrowly managed to escape it's clutches " Storkules recalled
" What exactly is a hydra " May asks
" A hydra is a " Strokules begins
June looks up in the sky only for her eyes to shrink in fear. She then frantically taps Louie gesturing for him to look up. As he does he makes a similar expression
"Some kind of big serpant thing with multiple heads and wings " Louie says with fear in his voice
" Llewelyn I had no idea you were versed in Ithaquack mythology " Storkules says surprised
" Oh I'm not. I can just see it coming to kill us " Louie says says points towards the sky
Everyone turns to see the hydra flying towards them as it dives towards them everyone ducks. It flies back around again with one of it's heads trying to bite May. Dewey tackles her out of the way. Storkules with a determined look grabs the main head and ties to wrestle it but ends up being wrapped up by it. Webby jumps on one of the smaller heads punching it, as she does. The head begins to try to shake her off. Louie and June eyes go wide as two of the heads take aim at them launching themselves at the two. They run and scream at the top of thier lungs as they do.
Donald shuts up upon hearing screaming. He opens the door upon hearing the screaming to be greeted by Della with a concerned on her face.
" Donald " Della says
" Della did you hear that " Donald asks concerned
" Yeah. It sounded like screaming " Della answers
" I think the kids are in trouble " Donald says
" The kids. Don't worry boys. Momma coming " Della says as she and Donald race off
" How are we supposed to defeat this thing " May asks
" Well according to the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook; were suppose cut off all the heads and burn the stumps " Huey answers
" How many heads are there " May asks
" Let's see . Three. Four… Ahhh " April started to count but was interrupted by a head lunging at them before Dewey smacks it with a stick
" Alot " Dewey says bluntly
" Kids " Della and Donald scream
" Uncle Donald " Huey screams
" Mom " Dewey screams
" Friend Donald " Storkules
" AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH " Webby screams as she is launched from the Hydra head
" Webby " Della screams as she drives to catch her " Don't worry I got you. You okay Webby "
" Uhhh. I feel dizzy but I'm fine " Webby moans
" Kids get to safety. We'll handle this Hydra " Della says as sets Webby down. The five of them run off. One of the heads notices this and launches itself at Dewey. Dewey notices but not fast enough to dodge. It's mouth is wide as it prepares to strike but is stopped by May places a stick in it's mouth preventing in from shutting. She then grabs Dewey by the hand and they both run.
" Alright Della let's take this thing down. Just like old times " Donald says with a determined look.
" Right you go that way and I go this way " Della before they run in opposite directions
Two of the heads chase them around as they run around. Donald run towards the body dodging heads and weaving over and under them. Della is doing the same. The main head throws Strokules into a tree before turning around aiming for Della but she jumps out of the way. The main follows her for a bit before it stops just short of her. It struggles in vain to bite her as it all tangled up. The creature hisses before Donald comes up punches it knocking out.
" Hhhhiiiissss yourself " Donald says
All of the children and Storkules who has recovered run up to the two
" That was awsome " Dewey says with alot of energy
" It was indeed " April says
" Yeah. This is totally going in my Duck family history journal " Webby says excitedly
" I have to be honest I didn't really get what Aunt Daisy saw in you at first but now I see " June say plainly
" Uh thanks June " Donald says slightly confused
" Yep " June says affirmatively
" Hey May. Thanks for saving my little boy " Della says sweetly
" Of course. I wouldn't let anything happen to my favorite man in blue " May says
" Ah friend Donald. You have done what I could not. Is there nothing you can't do " Storkules says while picking up Donald into a bear hug much to Donald chagrin
Daisy arrives through the front door
" I'm here to pick up the girls " Daisy says
The girls, the boys, Donald, Della, and Scrooge all come through a doorway. They all walk over to Daisy. Dewey looks over at Donald concerned and says:
" Hey you going to be okay around Daisy "
" I think I can handle it after the hydra insanity " Donald says
" I hope they didn't give you too much trouble " Daisy says concerns
" They were no problem at all " Donald says softly
Daisy looks beyond Donald to Scrooge who is nodding at her
" Hey Donald can I talk to you in private " Daisy says nervously
Everyone looks surprised at this
They are in the dining hall. The both of them just looking around awkwardly and shifting their feet
" So I'm not sure where to begin but look I know I hurt you " Daisy says softly
" Yeah " Donald says voice low
" I expect you to like me. In fact it's okay if you hate me " Daisy says softly
" Even with all we've been through, I can't bring myself to you. " Donald says softly
" Right, well the thing is I'm going to have to start coming here alot for my job " Daisy explains
" Right " Donald says
" So I think it's best if we are at least civil with each other " Daisy says firmly while holding out her hand
" Okay. I think I can at least try to do that " Donald says shaking her hand
Daisy then leaves the hall but not before looking back at him one last time. Donald just stands there looking at his hand.
