"Intruders!" Cherry gasped.

Everyone got into a fighting stance until they saw what it was, or rather, who. The triplets soon came out, only for Louie to be ambushed by Lena.

"Lena, wait, these are the boys we were telling you and Jessica about!" Webby told her new friend.

"Oh." Lena said, dropping Louie on the ground.

"That's right," Atticus said. "This is Huey, Dewey, and Louie."

"Guys, we've been looking for you everywhere!" Dewey told them.

"Cute, with the names and the color-coded outfits," Lena seemed to smirk at the triplets. "Is that, like, your thing, you're all exactly the same?"

"Ha! No way! We're all unique snowflakes!" The triplets smirked in unison until they realized they all spoke in unison. "Well, this usually never happens! This is really weird! Okay, stop talking! Antidisestablishmentarianism! Seriously? Gah!"

Lena simply smirked at that.

"You okay, boys?" Atticus asked.

"We're fine," Huey replied. "Where have you guys been though? We've been worried out of our minds!"

"Well, you see-" Mo started.

"Right, you were so worried that you left them on a beach and didn't show up for four hours?" Lena glared.

"We got lost!" Huey defended.

"Thanks to old Captain Lost!" Dewey added with a smirk towards Louie.

"You gave Louie the map?" Cherry asked, unimpressed. "No wonder you guys were gone for four hours."

"That's what I said!" Louie replied.

"Captain Lost! Captain Lost!" Dewey grinned.

"Boys, cut it out!" Cherry scolded.

Dewey simply pouted as he stopped chanting Captain Lost.

"You three are going to be the death of me..." Cherry muttered to herself.

"Yeah, they seem like real tight cruel." Lena smirked to the triplets.

"Guys, easy!" Webby cried out. "We were just having a little adventure."

"It's true." Mo said.

They soon heard a series of strange noises.

"...What the heck...?" Cherry asked. "It's not Halloween or anything."

"Shh." Lena shushed before before running with them with her and Jessica up front.


They soon found a place to hide.

"Ma to the Tumblebums," Ma Beagle's voice said on the radio. "The rugrats have been spotted in your turf. Make 'em sorry they crashed our party!"

"The Tumblebums?" Huey smiled. "They sound adorable!"

"Doubt it." Cherry replied.

They soon heard an evil cackle which gave them chills, and where Cherry was soon proven correct as three Beagle Boys who looked like they could be from the circus arrived.

"Never mind." Huey muttered.

"Stay hidden." Jessica advised.

"No argument here." Huey gulped.

"What should we do?" Cherry asked.

"Someone should go check." Mo suggested.

The triplets soon got into an argument about who would go check.

"Oh, brother..." Jessica rolled her eyes from the triplets arguing.

Atticus soon decided to check. Jessica looked to him. Atticus snuck out quietly to go check out the Tumblebums for himself, and where he saw one of them had what looked to be faces on both the front and the back of his head.

"Oh, that's so weird..." he shuddered slightly from that. "Hmm... There must be a way past them..." He began to think of a way to get past the three Beagle Boys who seemed like clowns. He looked around before seeing a banana peel and soon tossed it over his shoulder.

The Tumblebums were coming for Atticus, but one of them soon slipped over the banana peel.

"Ha! Knew it!" Atticus smirked.

The others saw that and Dewey soon used a slingshot to use another banana peel. One of the other Tumblebums soon slipped on that one next.

"This is too easy." Cherry smirked to herself.

"One left." Mo said.

"Hmm..." Cherry paused in thought.

The final Tumblebum came right toward Atticus, but he was trapped with no more banana peels until Jessica soon came out to save him once she found one of her own, and where that meant that all three were now defeated and piled up.

"Hey, you helped me." Atticus smiled.

"Of course I did." Jessica smiled back.

With all three Beagle Boys defeated, everyone began to cheer, not knowing they had one duck missing.

"Lena, did you see that?" Webby smiled before looking around as her new friend was gone. "Lena?" she then frowned, bowing her head.

Jessica frowned as that was unlike Lena to just leave like that.

"I guess we're just not cool enough for Lena." Cherry huffed slightly.

"This isn't like Lena." Jessica frowned.


They soon walked off and were back on the beach as Webby looked a bit sad that Lena was gone.

"You okay?" Huey asked as he came beside the girl.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Webby frowned. "It's dumb. I just I thought Lena and I could maybe have what you guys have."

Huey tried to comfort her with a small smile. "I promise we'll never leave you off the boat again. We'll leave Louie. He's bad at most things."

This caused both him and Webby to laugh a bit as seagulls were seen taking Louie's life jacket full of hot dogs. They soon found a message bottle come into the ocean.

"'Webby, I've been kidnapped by the Beagle Boys'," Webby read aloud before glancing suspiciously. "Wait, is this another prank?"

Cherry soon found another one and read it. "'This is not a prank. - Lena'."

"She didn't ditch us!" Webby gasped happily. "She was captured!" she then looked serious. "Oh, wait, she was captured."

They soon used binoculars to look over to where Webby, Mo, Atticus, and Cherry met Jessica and Lena. Lena was shown to be held hostage by the Beagle Boys which made them gasp. Louie yelled out as he was carried off by some seagulls.

"Quick, turn on the radio." Jessica said.

Webby soon did just that, and they could hear everything.

"I'm on my way, boys," Ma Beagle's voice said. "I may not have gotten to eat my birthday cake, but at least I'll get a little slice of revenge."

"We have to help her!" Mo told the others.

"We should go get Uncle Scrooge and Beakley and a couple of tanks." Louie suggested.

"There's no time." Jessica told him.

"Look, me and Lena fought a truck and beat the Taquitos and were British together." Webby soon said.

"I don't know what any of that means." Dewey commented.

"Now you know how I feel half the time!" Webby replied. "You wouldn't leave each other behind and I'm not leaving her. Now, come on! And this time I'm getting a spot in the stupid boat!"

"How are all of us going fit in that boat?" Jessica asked.

"Too bad we can't use magic or whatever to make the boat bigger." Cherry rolled her eyes skeptically.

Jessica soon closed her eyes before she magically made the boat bigger. Cherry walked off and yelped as she fell into the boat, accidentally walking into it.

"You okay?" Mo asked.

"I don't know what just happened." Cherry muttered.

"Magic just happened," Jessica said. "Now let's go save Lena."

"Um, well, okay then." Cherry said.

They soon rushed in to go and save Lena from the Beagle Boys.


Lena glared and struggled as she was tied up.

"Here, complimentary of the Six Annual Friendlies." One of the beagles said as he offered a glass of water to Lena.

"Courtesy of the Sixth Avenue Meanies." Another Beagle glared at him, tossing the glass of water on the floor, shattering.

Lena rolled her eyes to them until a bigger boat floated beside her, showing old familiar faces.

"Psst! Over here!" Webby whispered before coming in to save Lena. The female duckling soon snuck over to Lena to ungag her.

"Webby, you came!" Lena smiled in relief.

"Like I would ditch you," Webby smiled back. "We're the Beagle Birds."

"I think Webby needs help." Cherry said.

Atticus and Jessica soon tried to help with getting Lena free before one of them accidentally hit the stage light switch.

"Wuh-oh." Cherry muttered.

The Beagle Boys all soon glared to their victims which was not a good sign for any of them. Webby, Atticus, and Jessica were all soon tied up with Lena while they held Cherry and the triplets as hostage.


"You okay, Cherry?" Atticus asked.

"Define okay," Cherry mumbled. "The blood's rushing to my head."

"I'll take that as no." Atticus said.

"You little ladies have given us a lot of trouble tonight, but it'll be worth it when Ma sees her birthday gift." Big Time Beagle smirked, tying the girls up with a ribbon like a gift.

"And we got some early Mother's Day shopping out of the way, too." The bigger Beagle added as he held onto Cherry, Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

This caused the less bigger Beagle to laugh a bit.

"Big Time to Ma, Big Time to Ma, what's your 10-20?" Big Time asked through his radio.

Jessica frowned as Atticus bowed his head lowly. "Hey, kid, don't feel so blue," She told him. "You couldn't have known this was going to happen."

"I guess." Atticus sighed.

"Seriously? Your plan was to throw yourself Jessica and Atticus blindly in front of the entire Beagle family?" Lena complained to Webby.

"How is that any different than what you did at the junkyard?" Webby glared.

"I wasn't tied up at the junkyard!" Lena glared back.

"Now they have what we have." Huey said with a sniff.

"Oh, Huey." Cherry frowned.

"Now I remember why I avoid family," Lena complained. "All they do is-"

"Fight?" Webby guessed before getting an idea.

"Okay, Ma should be here any second," Big Time told his brothers. "When Botched Job gives the signal, we all leap out and yell surprise. Any questions?"

"I have one, which one you gets to hand us over?" Lena smirked.

Jessica looked confused at first, but soon knew what was going to happen.

"Say what, now?" Bouncer Beagle asked.

"Ooh, she might have a point," Jessica soon smirked. "You could all hand us over and share the credit, or well-"

"Obviously we should do it," Big Time replied. "I mean, we're, like, the main guys, right?"

"Give someone else a chance!" One of the Ugly Failures complained.

"Yeah!" Another Ugly Failure added.

The Beagle Boys all suddenly glared to each other. A bottle soon flew in the air, hitting Big Time in the head, and the boys all got into a fight with each other. Webby soon shimmied up and got herself free. She soon got to the top and jumped down, biting her ropes apart and soon untied Atticus, Jessica, and Lena. Cherry began to look dizzy and uncomfortable with the triplets.

'When are we going to get free?' Cherry thought to herself.

Bouncer held onto his hostages until Webby jumped on his back, pulling his hat down over his eyes.

"Let go!" Bouncer called out.

Of course, Webby didn't let go. Bouncer grunted, moving backwards before tripping over Lena as she knelt down behind him to trip him. Bouncer yelled out and soon fell on his back, dropping Cherry and the triplets. Once they were let go, Cherry and the triplets ran off with Webby, Lena, Atticus, and Jessica. The Beagle Boys were still fighting.

"Oh, Ma Beagle is in for a surprise alright." Cherry smirked to the others.

"Just a disappointed one." Mo added.

They soon all got onto the boat and began to leave.

"Hey!" Ma Beagle called out before honking her horn, making the boys stop fighting. "Where are the brats?"

"Um..." The Beagle Boys stammered.

"For the love of... That's it!" Ma Beagle soon snapped. "None of you get birthdays this year."

"Aww!" The Beagle Boys cried out.

"Wow, that's just cold." Jessica whispered.

"Better them than us." Cherry said.

"I guess." Jessica replied.


They were soon in front of McDuck manor at long last.

"That was amazing." Jessica smiled.

"How you made the Beagle Boys fight each other so we could escape, and then-" Webby added.

"Well, you shimmied up that pillar like a pro." Lena smiled to her.

"You turned the entire Beagle family against each other with a question!" Huey said out of amazement."

"You are my new favorite." Louie added to Lena.

"No big." Lena smiled.

'And the British accents come in 3, 2, 1.' Mo thought to herself with a smile.

"That's what family's about, eh, Englabeth?" Lena soon asked Webby.

"Oh, I knew you'd come through in a spot, Brittania." Webby replied.

"A li'l Penny-come-quick to get ya yet to be."

"Fluff and nonsense."

The girls soon laughed while the triplets looked confused.

"You kinda had to be there." Cherry told them.

"By the way, Jessica, we didn't get your full name." Mo said.

"Oh, I didn't tell you? Sorry," Jessica smiled sheepishly. "My full name is Jessica Athena Fudo. Sometimes people call me 'Jessie'."

"Wait, did you say your last name is Fudo?" Cherry asked.

"Yes, I did." Jessica replied.

Atticus let out a gasp as he came up to Jessica.

Jessica soon smiled to him. "That's an interesting name by the way... Atticus..."

"Thanks, my full name is Atticus James Fudo." Atticus smiled back,

"So I see," Jessica replied. "Um... Do you know anything about your parents?"

"They gave me up..." Atticus bowed his head. "To have their friend, Donald Duck, take care of me."

Hearing that name caused Jessica to go wide-eyed. Atticus soon pushed the buzzer to open the gates for them.

"Guess you girls better get home now." Cherry told Jessica and Lena, going inside with the others.

Lena soon nodded to Jessica. Jessica nodded back as she knew exactly what Lena was going to do.

"I'm gonna go home, but I think Jessica should stay with you guys so she can spend time with Atticus," Lena said. "Since this Donald Duck guy has the same name that her parents knew before they disappeared."

"Uhh... What...?" Cherry blinked.

"Just let me come with you." Jessica said.

"Uh... Okay?" Cherry replied, feeling a little confused.

'Wait for them to realize what this means with both him and Jessica having the same name and their parents knowing the same duck in 3, 2, 1.' Lena thought to herself, referring to Atticus.

Cherry walked off with Jessica at first before stopping. "HOLY FLIPPIN' HOT DOGS!"

"Okay... That's a thing to say?" Jessica chuckled sheepishly.

"You know Atticus, don't you?" Cherry asked the older girl.

This caused everyone else to anime fall.

"Or that she's my older sister that I didn't know I had." Atticus said.

Cherry soon sweat-dropped herself slightly.

"Yes, Atticus," Jessica said. "I'm your big sister."

Atticus soon hugged Jessica, feeling happy that he had a member of his biological family to talk to. Jessica smiled, hugging Atticus back, though had some tears in her eyes.

"My sister..." Atticus whispered, feeling close in the hug already.

"Oh, you've gotten so big." Jessica smiled tearfully.

"Then... You know..." Atticus said. "...Where are our parents and why did they give me up? ...Didn't they want me?"

"Oh, Atticus, Mom and Dad loved you with all their hearts, but they got into some trouble with their friend Della, and they didn't know what else to do." Jessica replied softly.

"Huey, Dewey, and Louie's mom?" Atticus frowned. "What happened?"

"I think it's best if you wait until Scrooge tells you Cherry and the boys himself," Jessica frowned back. "But I can tell you everything you need to know about Mom and Dad."

Atticus frowned, but nodded as that was fair before they went into the mansion together. Jessica soon nodded to Lena without anyone looking. Lena walked off after letting Jessica into the mansion.


Once inside the mansion...

"Ooh... This place is like a palace..." Jessica smiled once she looked around the mansion.

"It sure feels like it at first." Atticus smiled back.

Donald soon freaked out and flipped out on the kids for coming home so late, having one of his famous tantrums.

"Oh, great." Cherry sighed.

"And here is one of his famous tantrums." Atticus added.

Donald soon panted as he landed on the floor after doing that, but still glared.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Duck, they were with me." Jessica told Donald apologetically.

Donald was about to scold Jessica until he recognized her.

"Hi, there." Jessica smiled.

"Jessica...?" Donald asked her in shock.

"You know her?" Cherry asked him.

"Yes... I do..." Donald said softly. "I... I just can't believe it. Look at how much you've grown."

"It has been a while," Jessica giggled to him. "Although your temper seems to be just the same."

"Don't push it..." Donald mumbled.

"So, uh, Donald? I have a sister?" Atticus asked.

"Yes, you do," Donald replied. "I haven't seen her in quite sometime, but that was a long time before you were even born."

"I can tell." Atticus said.

"You look so much like your mother." Donald said to Jessica.

"Aw, thank you." Jessica beamed.

"That's an interesting necklace." Webby smiled, seeing Jessica wearing what looked like a seashell necklace.

"Thanks, it was a gift from Mom before she and Dad had to go away/disappeared." Jessica said softly.

Webby frowned as she knew what it was like to have parents who weren't around.

"Mom gave you that? What was she like?" Atticus asked.

Jessica smiled as she knew this was going to be a lot of fun. Cherry and the others decided to give Atticus and Jessica some time alone. The two went into the dining room and shared a cup of hot chocolate that Jessica offered to make.

"Sweet, isn't it?" Jessica smiled to Atticus. "It's a recipe I learned. It tastes just like love."

"Mm." Atticus smiled back.

"Glad ya like it." Jessica smiled to him.

"So, what was Mom like?" Atticus smiled back.

"Oh, she's so amazing," Jessica smiled. "She's so pretty, and talented, and funny. She made the best food, told the best stories, she's a kid at heart, really, sometimes."

Atticus was happy that he could hear about his parents.

"Dad's very brave, smart, and adventurous," Jessica then said. "You look so much like him."

"Then I guess I'm just like him too," Atticus smiled. "Also I found a book that belonged to Mom and Dad."

"Oh, yeah?" Jessica smiled back. "Would you mind if I took a look at it?"

Atticus soon showed her the book that he and Dewey found.

Jessica took a look at the book. "This... This looks like his spell book..." she then whispered.

"Huh?" Atticus asked, not quite hearing that.

Jessica flipped through the book. "It's his old journal with some of his spells!" she then smiled.

"Spells? Wait, so then does that mean that since you can use magic, so can I?" Atticus smiled back.

"Well, I don't use magic all that often, but yes, I believe it does." Jessica nodded.

"So, can you understand everything that's written in that book?" Atticus asked her.

"Oh, yeah, it's pretty simple once you know it as long as I have," Jessica replied. "Here, I'll fix it..." she then closed her eyes before she spoke in Latin.

Atticus looked over and looked to Cherry.

"Uh,... She's basically making the text understandable for you." Cherry said from what she understood from the Dead Language.

"Ohh." Atticus smiled.

The text soon changed and Jessica held the book to Atticus which was now more easy for him to understand.

"I-I can understand it now." Atticus smiled.

"Success!" Jessica cheered. "Dad wrote some of his recent spells in here, but it's also a journal."

"So, then with this I'll be able to learn every spell that Dad ever learned?" Atticus smiled.

"It looks like it," Jessica smiled back. "That is, if you think you can be a Wiccan."


"I'll be the best Wiccan!" Cherry said, imitating Atticus's voice. "With this new spell book, my powers will be as big as my watermelon sized head! Ha ha ha!"

"CherRY, stop imitating my voice!" Atticus cried out.

"Make me." Cherry smirked playfully.

Atticus soon lunged out for her.

"Wah!" Cherry yelped.

"Atticus!" Jessica cried out in a panic before seeing what was going on.

"Say it or I'll hug you." Atticus smirked.

"You wouldn't dare." Cherry glared.

Atticus soon pulled her into a hug.

"Yaugh!" Cherry yelped. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Now was that so hard?" Atticus smirked.

"You can let go now." Cherry narrowed her eyes.

Atticus soon let go of her, feeling satisfied. Cherry gagged like being hugged made her sick to her stomach.

"You two sure are interesting." Jessica commented.

"We've been best friends since we were kids." Atticus smiled.

"So you like each other." Jessica said.

"I know it seems odd how Cherry shows love, but yeah," Atticus replied. "In a way, she was like my sister growing up."

"Aw." Jessica smiled.

"I think this is gonna be a lot of fun, Jessica." Atticus smiled back.

"Same here," Jessica smiled back. "And if you'd like, I can teach you how to read and speak Latin."

"I'd like that very much," Atticus nodded. "I do hope Mom and Dad come back soon."

"I'm sure they will." Jessica comforted her younger brother.

And so Jessica began to teach Atticus how to speak and read Latin as well as help him with his magic. Atticus concentrated very hard, and luckily for both of them, he was a fast learner most of the time, and where that was a good thing; after some time of learning they took a break the next night as they went to the movies with Mrs. Beakley, Launchpad, Webby, Mo, Cherry, Lena, and the triplets and where they saw a movie suggested by Lena.
