Well, that was quite a chapter o_O
Webby frowned and nudged Dewey.
"Look," she whispered. "They're doing it again."
Dewey glanced at Louie, who was sitting on the other couch with Goldie.
"They're just sitting." he insisted.
"Sitting would be an understatement."
Webby was right. Louie was lying down on the couch, with Goldie calmly sleeping on his chest. He rubbed her lower back and she snuggled deeper into his chest.
"That doesn't mean they're together, Webby." Dewey whispered.
Over the last few weeks, Louie and Goldie seemed… closer than usual. At first, Webby dismissed it, but when she saw that their physical means of affection were becoming more prominent, she told Dewey. Ever since, she and Dewey had been watching the two, noticing the frequent hugs and occasional kisses on the cheek. Webby suspected that the two were in a secret relationship.
"Let's confront him." Webby hissed.
"N-not yet. Not until we have solid evidence." he murmured, his voice soft and pleading.
Webby groaned, but understood where Dewey was coming from. Accusing his brother of being romantically involved with a woman a century older, and on top of that, with Scrooge's old fling, was hard to believe. Dewey didn't want to believe it.
But Webby was a realist. She knew her accusations were right, and if she didn't do something about them soon, Louie might find himself in too deep and too emotionally attached to Goldie.
"You want solid evidence? Fine."
Webby hit the camera app on her phone and clicked record. She set it on the couch, fitting Louie and Goldie into the frame perfectly.
"We're gonna get some snacks. You want anything?" Webby asked, standing up.
"Can you get some popcorn, Webbs?" Louie asked.
"Sure."
"How long will you two be gone?" Louie
asked.
"About 15 minutes? The store isn't too far away."
"Sounds good." Louie smiled.
"Why, Lou?" Dewey asked.
"Just asking." he said nonchalantly.
Webby and Dewey turned to leave. He grabbed his car keys, and locked the front door behind him.
"C'mon Webbs," Dewey protested when he turned onto the main road. "I don't think Louie's dating his ex mentor."
"We left them alone. Now, it's time to see what they do." Webby said.
"And then what happens? Say they are together. What happens next?"
"We'll confront them."
"Well, he's going to be pissed and embarrassed! Scrooge will disown him, and everyone's going to act weird around him. His life will be ruined." he argued.
"Dewey, the sooner we do this, the less attached Louie will become! How could you stand around and do nothing while Louie bangs a woman almost a century older than him?!" she snapped.
"At least be nice! Please don't make it public! Please." Dewey begged.
"I wasn't going to, Dewey!" Webby shouted. "We need to put an end to this. This is for his own good."
"Okay… and what if they're not."
"Not what?" she asked.
"Together." Dewey said.
"Then we don't have to do a thing." she replied.
Dewey sighed as he pulled into the grocery store.
"Wait out here. I'll be quick." Webby instructed.
While Dewey waited in somber silence, he prayed that his brother wasn't doing anything crazy. The drive back home was steely and silent.

"We're home—" Dewey called, swinging open the front door.
"Shh!" Webby hissed, putting a hand over Dewey's mouth.
They quietly made their way towards the TV Room, and opened the door. Louie scrambled to get off of Goldie and tried to sound natural.
"D-Dewey! Webby! You're back early!" Goldie stammered.
"What were you two up to?" Webby asked suspiciously.
"J-just watching the movie." Louie said.
"Well, we got popcorn."
"Great! Goldie and I will go make it." Louie said, grabbing Goldie. He snatched the popcorn and scurried off to the kitchen.
"Let's see." Webby said, grabbing her phone.
She pressed play on the new video, and she and Dewey watched. At first, nothing unusual happened, but then…
"God, I thought they'd never leave."
Louie chuckled. "Well, we have 15 minutes. What do you want to do."
"Hmmm. I'm not sure." she said, seductively running a nail down his chest.
"I know what I want to do." Louie murmured huskily.
"And what's that?"
"You." he growled.
Louie kissed her ferociously, and straddled her. Goldie stifled a moan and broke the kiss.
"What if someone walks in?" she asked, concerned.
"I'll make something up. Now kiss me."
"Forward tonight, aren't we?"
"Mhm." he grinned.
She moaned as Louie's hand traveled in between her thighs.
"L-Louie!" she gasped.
He started kissing her neck—
"Okay!" Dewey yelled, pressing pause on the video. "That's enough."
"Now do you believe me?"
Dewey groaned. "Why?"
"I don't know." Webby sighed.
"H-how did this even happen?"
"Goldie's attractive and Louie's a horny teenager. Do the math."
"She's a pedophile." Dewey grumbled.
"Louie's 19 now. She can't be classified as a pedophile under the law."
Dewey growled. "So what do we do?"
"We confront them."
"Let's go." Dewey said, standing up.
Webby grabbed his arm. "Not now."
"Why?" Dewey asked.
"We need to ask Louie when he's away from Goldie." his girlfriend replied.
Dewey sighed, sitting on the sofa. "I'm sorry for not believing you before, Webby."
She sat next to him and rubbed his back comfortingly. "I get it. It's hard to believe."
"Can we go upstairs?" he asked.
"Why?"
Dewey sighed. "I just don't want to be around them."
The duo went upstairs. Just as Dewey was about to open his bedroom door, Huey walked out, scaring Dewey out of his wits.
"Jesus, Huey!" Dewey snapped. "You scared the crap out of me!
"I'm sorry, Dewford, but this is my room as well." he snorted.
Dewey scowled, but Webby calmly put a hand on his chest.
"Might as well tell Huey." Webby said.
"Tell Huey what?" Huey asked. Then he gasped. "You're not pregnant, are you?!"
Webby smacked Huey while Dewey just grinned.
"No!" she snapped, turning red.
Huey laughed, rubbing his sore arm.
"So what's the big secret?" Huey asked.
Webby dragged the brothers into their room. As she explained Louie and Goldie's relationship to Huey, the cheerful atmosphere dissolved, and turned into a dark silence.
"How do you know?" Huey asked, his voice monotone.
Webby showed him the video and Huey's eyes widened. He slowly gave the phone back to Webby, and stared into the distance.
"Huey? You okay?" Dewey asked.
"H-he's dating her?" Huey asked.
"They're in a sexual relationship as far as we know." he replied.
"What do we do?" Huey asked.
"We are going to confront Louie privately." Webby said.
