Chapter 10
Moving on
Webby is walking through the hallway looking down when she hears footsteps coming down the hall. She then performs a series of wall jumps and holds herself between the walls with her arms and legs, looking down as she sees who it's only Huey taking notes. She audiebly exhales. Huey having heard that looks up to see her looking down at him.
" Webby what are you doing up there? " Huey asks concerned
" I was trying to hide from Dewey " Webby says
" Still" Huey says confused
" I'm just not ready to talk him " Webby says as she drops down to the ground
" Okay " Huey says
More footsteps can be heard as the two look in the direction. Webby again does the same thing only for Louie to turn the corner as Huey watches her do the same thing again. Huey then looks at Louie
" Hey bro. Where do we keep the sewing machine? I have an idea " Louie asks Huey nonchalantly
Webby exhales loudly again. Louie looks up confused, before his eyes narrow into an indifferent expression
" Let me guess; hiding from Dewey "
" Yeah " Webby says sheepishly
" Webby it's been two and a half weeks. You can't keep avoiding him " Louie says slightly exasperated
" Yeah. This is starting to get out of hand " Huey says agreeing
" I'm not going to avoid him forever. I'm just going to avoid him until these feelings for him fade" Webby says as she drops down from the ceiling
" And how's that working for you " Louie asks skeptically
" Well.." Webby starts before a voice is heard through the hall.
" WEBBY. . " Dewey shouts throughout the hall
Webby upon hearing Dewey voice scales the walls a third time. Dewey enters the area they congregated in
" I thought I heard Webby " Dewey says
" You just missed her " Louie says
" Man I really need to talk to her but everytime I try, she leaves the room. It's like she has been going out of her way to avoid to me " Dewey says frantically.
" Yeah I've noticed " Louie says nonchalantly
Dewey notices Huey stealing glances at the ceiling.
" What are you staring at Huey " Dewey asks accussingly
" Nothing " Huey says frantically
Dewey then eyes him suspiciously before looking upward himself only to see nothing. Dewey then looks at the two of them before leaving the back the way he came.
Huey exhales
" Man that was a close one " Webby says, appearing out of nowhere frightening Huey.
Della and Donald are in the living watching t.v. when Webby pokes her head through the doorway and looks around
" Good. He's not here " Webby says relieved before walking in and sitting on the couch
" Still avoiding Dewey huh " Della asks casually
" Yes " Webby says tirely
" You know he's been looking for you everywhere right " Donald says
" I know " Webby says strained
" It's been two weeks. Maybe it's about time you two hash things out " Della says
" No I'm not ready " Webby
" Look the sooner you two talk this out, the sooner you can move on " Della says
" Mmm but it's so hard " Webby bemoans
The doorbell can be heard ringing
" Oh look, some one's at the door. I'll get it " Donald says getting up
He goes and answers the door to be greeted by Daisy and the girl triplets.
" Oh hey Daisy. How's it going " Donald asks
" Oh Donald I need another favor " Daisy says
" Need us to watch the girls again " Donald asks plainly
" Yeah my sitter canceled last minute " Daisy answers
" It's not a problem " Donald says cheerfully
" Oh thanks Donny you're the best " Daisy says happily " Alright girls I'll see you later "
The girls come in as Daisy walks down the driveway to her car
" So how are you girls doing? We haven't seen you in awhile " Donald asks curiously
" Alright " April responds
" Decent enough " May says
" Okay I guess " June yawns
Webby suddenly comes in and says
" Who's at the door Donald… Oh no "
" Webby " May says slightly irritated
" Hey May " Webby says nervously
" Webby " Dewey exclaims
" Oh no again " Webby says under her breath
" Look we need to… Oh May " Dewey says
" Dewey " May says
" I tried calling multiple times. How come you didn't pick up " Dewey asks
" Well things between you and Webby weren't great when we left that day. I didn't want to make things more awkward because I'm not exactly the best at dealing with these kind of things " May explains
" Look, we can talk about this later. I need to talk to Webby first " Dewey says firmly
" Umm. Can't talk got to go do the …. " Webby says frantically before racing off
" Webby come on. Please talk to me " Dewey says pleading
Webby tries running but is met by Della along with Huey and Louie
" Oh sorry but I need to ..." Webby says before being interrupted
" Go deal with this " Della says
" No I'm still not ready " Webby says frantically
" Well get ready because it's happening " Louie says
" But " Webby says
" Upupupup. No buts. It's time to hash things out " Della said turning Webby around and pushing her towards Dewey
" Webby " Dewey says softly
" Dewey " Webby says despondent
" So listen I ….. " Dewey started before being interrupted by Scrooge
" Good day everyone " Scrooge says
" Hey Uncle Scrooge " Everyone save for the girl triplets
" Hi Mr Scrooge " The girls says
" What are you up to today " Della asks
" I'm just on ma way to the money bin. I have some business to attend to " Scrooge answers
" Oh that's sounds. Can I come ? " Webby asks
" Going to do business sounds fun " Scrooge asks confused
" Yes " Webby said immediately
" Okay. I guess " Scrooge says
" I want to go to " Dewey says raising his hand
" What. No " Webby shouts
" That's a great idea you two should go with Scrooge " Della says pushing with Scrooge
" Does anyone else want to go " Scrooge
" No " Everyone else says
The three of them then leave out the front door with Webby looking back nervously at everyone else. Donald turns to Della and asks;
" Are you sure this is a good idea "
" It'll be fine Don. When have I ever had a bad idea " Della respond with a grin
Donald, Huey, and Louie all just look at her mildly irritated
" What " Della asks confuses
The McDuck limo pulls up to the money bin. Scrooge, Webby, and Dewey get up as Launchpad rolls the driverside window
" Thanks Launchpad " Scrooge says
" Anytime, Mr McD I'll see you guys later I'm going to get a taco " Launchpad says
" Okay just be careful backing out of here " Dewey says
Launchpad precedes to back the limo into a pole, then pulls forward, knocks over a trash can before turning around and running over a mailbox.
" That's coming my wallet " Scrooge laments as Webby and Dewey look on
" Okay I got to go to a meeting. I'll be back in 30 minutes " Scrooge says
" Okay now that we're alone, you and I need to talk " Dewey before realising she's gone
Webby is running down the hallway as Dewey takes chase
" Webby stop running from me " Dewey shouts after her
" No " Webby shouts back
Webby then turns into a stairwell before running up it, Dewey not too far behind. She goes up about five flights of stairs before exiting into another hallway. The two then turn a couple of corners. The two then run into the library where Webby climbs up onto a bookshelf as Dewey does the same. They both jump from bookshelf to bookshelf. Before Webby jumps down off of the shelves and continues to run before she finds herself back into a corner. Dewey catches up to her
" Webby. Why do you keep running from me? Can you please just let me talk " Dewey asks wheezingly
" What's there to talk about? I like you but you don't like me back " Webby says somberly
" You're right I don't like you like that but that doesn't mean I don't want you to be my friend anymore " Dewey says
" Okay " Webby says
" I've really missed hanging out with you over these two weeks. I don't want our friendship to end over something like this, so if what it takes for things to get back to normal is for us to go out, that's fine with me " Dewey says
" I I I ….don't want that " Webby says somberly
" No " Dewey asks confused
" I don't want you to force yourforce yourself to like me back. I've been such a fool these past two weeks. I've been avoiding you to try and get over you but it's not working that well. It's time to try and move on for real this time " Webby says softly
" Do you still need time away from me " Dewey asks softly
" No because I've missed you too " Webby says
" So we're still friends " Dewey asks cheerfully
" Of course " Webby says
Dewey smiles at her, she smiles back before the two share a hug. Scrooge, Dewey and Webby arrive back at the the living room to be greeted by everyone else sitting on the couch.
Della rushes to the two of them and asks
" So did you guys get everything worked out "
" Yes " Webby says
" See Donald I told you it would work out " Della tells Donald triumphantly
" Barely by the looks of it " Donald says looks at Dewey's sweat soaked shirt
Webby goes up to May with an apologetic look on her face
" May I would like to apologize for the way I acted towards you. I was jealous of the fact that you were spreading so much time with Dewey but I won't stand in the way of you and Dewey anymore. Friends " Webby says while holding out her hand
" Friends " May says while shaking her hand
Later that day the girls were in their shared room getting ready for bed.
" I'm really glad things are finally back to normal with you, Webby and Dewey " April says relieved
" Me too but there's one thing I still don't understand " May says confused
" What's that " June asks curiously
" What she meant by I won't get in the way of you and Dewey anymore " May answers
June then grins in a twisted manner
" Like you don't already know " June says matterafactly
" What do you mean " May asks
" Come on. You know " June says
" I really don't. Enlighten me " May says slightly annoyed
" You like Dewey " June say teasingly
" What? No I don't " May says frantically
" Yes you do " June says playfully
" No. I mean yeah we have alot of fun together, I love how passionate he is about things and he's also super sweet and really cute.. " May says blushes unable to stop herself
" Cute huh " June says while giggling
" Shut up June " May says irritated
" June stop teasing May " April says firmly
" You're not better " June says acusingly
" What do you mean " April asks
" I've seen the way you look at Huey " June says
" What? I don't like Huey. It's just we can nerd out about stuff and he doesn't make me feel weird about having certain interests " April says shyly
" Enough about us. What about you? " May says pointing at her
" Yeah what about you?" April pointing with May
" I'm not afraid to admit that I like Louie " June says proudly
May and April just sit there slack jawed
" You know for someone who is always being sneaky, that sure was honest " April says
" What can I say? I like what I like. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to sleep. Good night " June says turning over and going to sleep
" I'm tired, I'm going to sleep too. Get the light would you April ?" May tells April before rolling over and going to sleep herself.
" Right " April turns off the light before laying down herself and drifting off to sleep.
