Better Together Chapter 8: "See Ya Around, Louie"

Hello! I took a break from writing yesterday, but I'm back! :D

Today I'm updating Nobody Listens, Enough, Hurt By Words, and Quit Tripping Up. I also posted some LPS artwork on my website for a future scene in Q.T.U., and I'll post a few Ducktales pieces today as well. As of when I'm writing this, I have no clue what I'll be doing, but I'll look into the requests ya'll sent in and pick two.

Anyways, enjoy!

Doofus Drake had Louie hanging upside down like a bat inside his room. Louie was tied to the chandelier, swinging side to side to get free, but his efforts ended in vain.

"Llewellyn. Do you want to play a game?" Doofus asked him.

Louie laughed nervously, "I mean, sure buddy, whatever."

"Good." He took out a bag, purposely emptying the contents very slowly so it would be very nerve-racking for Louie.

"Come on! What's in the stupid bag already?!" Louie whined.

"Patience, young one." Doofus sneered.

"We're the same age!"

"You're the age I tell you to be!" He yelled at him.

Doofus had now finally managed to empty the bag, revealing an umbrella and some walnuts.

Louie screamed, "Nooooo! Not the umbrella and walnuts!"

"Yes." Doofus replied simply, his eyes in the half-lidded position Louie's usually wore, except now, Louie's were as big as saucers.

"My. You look stressed." Doofus smiled.

"Dude, no kidding! I'm hanging, like, 10 feet in the air!"

"Actually 11." Doofus told him calmly.

Louie shrieked, "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

"Time for walnuts!" Doofus giggled. He took out a walnut and then placed it on the umbrella, which wasn't open yet. Then he opened it, making the walnut fly and hit Louie's head.

"Ow!"

"Doofus smiled "Now it's time for you, Melissa darling." He took out a walnut with a pink Barbie dress and kissed it. Louie wrinkled his beak in disgust at the scene.

He repeated the same procedure with "Melissa," making "her" hit Louie on the head once again.

"Owwwww!" Louie whined.

"Now, it's Carlos' turn."

"Now, it's MY TURN!" Someone shouted.

Doofus turned around, "Oh, a new friend present. And you're beautiful."

Louie fumed and started bristling. Then, June kicked Doofus, much to Louie's satisfaction.

Doofus seethed, jumping on top of her, "No! You!"

"Yes, me." June grinned, shielding herself with a red-and-blue plastic shield from Doofus' toy bin. She grabbed a matching red sword, "En garde."

Doofus grabbed the blue one, and they started having a sword fight.

"No! You stupid tree chewer!"

"Tree chewer? What?" June asked. Seeing that she was distracted, Doofus threw her into the closet, then Louie along with her, "You two are both on time out!"

"What are we, five?!" June shouted after him, "I'm telling my lawyer about this!"

Louie blinked, "You have a lawyer?"

"I'm telling my lawyer about this when I get one!"

"I'm pretty sure that's not how it works." Louie deadpanned. He looked around, "Oh, we're going to die down here!" He wailed, "I'll never see money- or my family- or money, again!"

June rolled her eyes, "Oh brother. Of all the people I could have been stuck here with." She added jokingly, "Think of all those missed life opportunities."

Louie took this seriously, "NOOOOOOOOOOO! I could have been a successful businessman! NOOOOOOOOO!"

"Mmmmhm, yeah, just try and keep it down while I make this call, will ya?" she took out her phone, "Yeah, Boyd? Your evil brother locked us in here."

"Who's that screaming in the background of the call?" Boyd asked her.

"An idiot called 'Louie Duck.' Now, do something!"

"On it!" Boyd told her.

She put away her phone, turning to a screaming Louie. She bent down under him.

'AAAAAAHHHHHHH HEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPP- wait, what are you doing?"

"Trying to pick this lock under you while watching you idiotically scream your head off and act like a baby."

"Wait, you had your lock picks this whole time?!"

"Yup, and my phone."

"SERIOUSLY?! I was having a heart attack over here!"

June grinned, "All part of the fun."

"This is not fun!"

The door swung open.

Louie clung to June's leg when he saw Doofus standing in front of them, "I told you to stay PUT!"

"And three..two…one." June smirked.

With that, Boyd jumped on his brother, "Moooooommmm! Daaaaaddd!"

"No! Tattletale! Didn't anyone tell you snitches get stiches?!"

"I'm a robot!" Boyd replied smugly.

"How? Why? Hoooooooowwww?!" Doofus wailed.

"Opening an umbrella indoors is bad luck. Welp, love to stay and chat, but we better get going." June grabbed Louie and hoisted him down the window, where a white curtain was hanging out. She slid gracefully on the grass while Louie landed with an, "oomph!" on his stomach.

Louie spat out grass, his face stained green, "You're nuts!"

"And that's part of the reason why you like me, isn't it?" June asked cheekily.

Louie glared at her, turning hot pink.

"I'll take that as a Louie 'yes.'" She grinned.

"You're still annoying, and don't you forget that."

"And I never change!"

Louie deadpanned, but June kissed his cheek to shut him up. Louie stiffened.

"See ya around, Louie."

Louie rubbed his cheek, laughing nervously.

- Meanwhile-

"And you told me this was a waste of time!" Dewey laughed. He was hiding in the bushes along with Huey, holding his phone, which was recording everything.

Huey just grinned in response.

"Yeah, it's settled. I'm playing this at their wedding….when I become, Uncle Dewey!" he snickered.

They fist-bumped.

I died of laughter when I was writing this.

Don't forget to review, follow, and fav! :) ;D
