"Ah, ugh. I can't make sense of this," Scrooge grunted while looking at what looked like a map of the building. "Where's the exit?"
"Uh, that is a good question." Thor said.
"Is that 'X' hidden treasure?" Webby asked.
"The 'X' is obviously where we are, but where are we?" Huey replied.
"Don't worry, kids," Scrooge told them. "I'll get us out of this monument to moochers or my name isn't-"
"Scrooge McDuck!" A voice beamed and they turned around to see the source. "What good fortune to have the highest of high rollers in my humble establishment."
"And you are...?" Mo asked the green toad.
"Liu Hai. Toad Liu Hai," The green toad introduced himself as he played with a deck of cards. "Please be my personal guest. Anything you need, just let me know. At the House of Lucky Fortune, you are all kings."
"Oh, good, street Magic," Scroog said sarcastically before starting to get himself and the others away from the green toad. "Well, thank you, but we really must be going."
"At least stay for the floor show," Lui Hai invited. "Aquarioon: The Sacred Waters of Aquarien. The biggest indoor water spectacle in the eastern hemisphere."
They soon took a look and the spectacle looked a bit boring and wasteful.
"Biggest waste of water is more like it," Huey scoffed. "I mean, how many million gallons are you going through a day, just for some dumb-"
The spectacle water show soon started to look enchanting to Huey.
"Hm... That's kinda nice..." Atticus commented.
"In a time before time the Earth lies beneath a watery grave," An announcer's voice said in a very calm and quiet voice. "There is only light. There is only ocean. And among all the primal chaos, there lives Aquarioon."
Huey soon walked over, feeling entranced while Dewey looked bored. "Water dancing. A calm washing over me," he smiled peacefully. "Never felt so at peace."
"We're going to be trapped here until after the show." Lionel told the others.
"So I see." Atticus replied.
"I suppose we have time for one show," Scrooge sighed as he sat down. "But then it's right to the Temple of the Golden Cricket."
"Agreed." Atticus nodded.
"Get comfy." Thor rolled his eyes.
Atticus soon sat next to Thor with a small smile, feeling a friendship with him.
"I hope this chair doesn't break." Thor pouted to himself.
"This should be just like every other showing." Lionel told himself.
"Dang straight..." Thor said.
"So, Thor, you wanna be friends?" Atticus smiled.
"Hmm... I dunno..." Thor replied before smirking. "You think you're cool enough to be MY friend?"
Atticus simply rolled his eyes playfully. "Oh, I don't know, maybe." He then said playfully.
"Hmm... Ya gotta pass a test first of awesomeness," Thor smirked. "First question: who's awesome? I'll give ya a hint: this guy!" he then pointed to himself with two thumbs up at himself.
"You're awesome." Atticus told Thor.
"You passed!" Thor smiled.
"Yeah, it was sooo hard." Lionel rolled his eyes playfully.
Meanwhile with Cherry, Louie, Gladstone, and Donald...
Gladstone and Louie were looking in the mirrors together, getting taken care of by some helpers. Cherry and Donald were soon being joined in, being dressed up like fancy folk.
"This is the best anyone has ever looked." Louie smiled to his new look.
"Well, Green Bean, if you want to be a winner, you need to look like a winner." Gladstone smirked to Louie.
"This is nice, I guess." Cherry said.
"And you can bill my suit to the room, please." Gladstone said as he began to leave with Louie.
"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, Mr. Gladstone. I cannot do this," The dresser smiled as the two began to leave. "It would be such a great honor for me to know that you are out in the world wearing this suit."
Cherry and Donald began to follow until the dresser stopped them.
"$2,000, cash only." The dresser told them.
"What?!" Cherry glared.
"I believe ya heard me, little lady." The dresser said.
"Uh..." Cherry reached into her pocket, taking out some pocket change. "What can we get for 10 bucks?"
Cherry and Donald soon left in a tuxedo T-Shirt and a ballerina dress, of course, Cherry feeling humiliated in her outfit.
"Just like the real thing, only cheaper!" Donald smiled smugly.
Cherry and Louie soon saw that Donald's new shirt still had its security tag on.
"Uh, Donald, you might wanna look out." Cherry warned.
It was too late, Donald was tackled by the panda from earlier.
"Ooh..." Cherry winced as that looked painful.
"Oh, man, Uncle Donald's gotta be the unluckiest duck in the world." Louie commented.
Gladstone soon saw the green toad, looking serious and not happy one bit. "I'm counting on it..." he then whispered to Cherry and Louie, turning them away suddenly.
"Ugh... This outfit is so embarrassing..." Cherry groaned.
"It's a good look for you." Louie smirked.
"Louie, I swear, you are going to be roasted one of these days!" Cherry glared.
Meanwhile with Atticus and the others...
"And though noble Aquarioon fell that day, his soul lives on for we are all Aquarioon." The announcer soon concluded for the show they saw with Huey.
"Bravo!" Huey applauded excitedly. "We should really stay for the 3:15 show."
Thor and Lionel were both fast asleep.
"Guys... Wake up... I-I think we can go now..." Atticus said, shaking them awake, and soon tried to punch Thor awake.
"Yaugh!" Thor yelped. "It's all Bebe's fault!"
"Spaghetti sauce!" Lionel yelped as he woke up with a startle from his big friend's yelp.
"Come on, guys, let's get you out of here." Atticus told them.
Thor soon wiped some drool from his mouth and waved his hand.
"Hey!" Lionel yelped, magicking up an umbrella to avoid the drool. "Eww!"
"Cool, you have magic, too?" Atticus smiled as he whispered to Lionel.
"What gave you that impression?" Lionel grinned nervously.
"Lionel, I thought you had special powers 'cuz you're from the 5th dimens-" Thor said.
"Ah! Bup bup!" Lionel said, covering his mouth. "Thor, you're so silly sometimes."
"5th dimension?" Atticus asked out of confusion.
"Nice going." Lionel glared up at Thor who smiled bashfully.
"Awesome." Atticus smiled.
"Well... Fine, it's true," Lionel said to Atticus. "I'm from the 5th dimension... We have all sorts of wacky and cosmic powers you 3Ds take for grabbies!" he then smirked, as he floated in mid-air.
"That is so awesome." Atticus smiled.
"Why, thank you." Lionel smiled back.
"So, what brings you to, uh, the 3rd dimension?" Atticus wondered.
"I was exiled from the 5th dimension..." Lionel sighed. "They found me to be very annoying."
"You? Annoying?" Atticus asked. "Never."
"Only a very few appreciate my unusual talents and company," Lionel replied. "Like Thor here."
"We're rejects together!" Thor smiled. "Who needs friends when we have each other?"
"I'll be your friend." Atticus told them both.
"Really?" Lionel and Thor smiled.
"Well, yeah." Atticus smiled back.
"Mm!" Thor smiled, pulling Atticus into a hug.
Atticus soon hugged him back.
"I like making new friends," Thor smiled before suddenly frowning. "I just wish more people would be my friend... They just call me fat, dumb, and ugly."
"Whoa." Atticus said.
Cherry and Louie soon looked around as they followed Gladstone around as everyone celebrated him like he was the best duck ever.
"Thank you. Oh, you're too kind. I love it, baby!" Gladstone smiled to the guests.
"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me!" Louie beamed.
"Coming through!" Cherry's voice called out.
Gladstone and Louie looked over to see Cherry and Donald as Donald fell on the floor after slipping.
"There they are." Louie sighed.
"I am so this close to losing it." Cherry glared.
"Try your luck, Mr. Gander?" A woman offered, standing beside a game.
"If I must." Gladstone shrugged and soon played the game.
The machine beeped and rang until he soon won, making a punch of poker chips come out onto the floor.
Louie laughed as he loved the winning. "Do it again!"
"How about Donald?" Cherry suggested.
"Easy peasy!" Donald smirked, rubbing his hands together as he soon began to play the game.
The ball seemed to be stuck in place on the other hand. Donald soon got angry about that and shook the machine, but soon had to run as it came crashing down and soon splatted on him.
"I'm not actually surprised that happened." Cherry said.
Meanwhile...
"We've passed this gaming section like three times," Webby complained. "Wait, didn't that gift shop used to be over here?"
"I don't get it, we should've taken you guys out of here by now." Thor said as he led the way with Lionel.
"I think we took a wrong turn." Lionel said.
"Everything looks the same in this blasted place," Scrooge ranted. "They try to trap you here so you'll spend all your time and money on cheap thrills, but we're better than that."
"Yeah, we need some danger." Dewey smirked in determination. "Some-"
"Tigers?" A familiar voice asked.
"Where'd you come from?" Mo asked Liu Hai out of confusion.
"And more importantly, did you say 'tigers'?" Dewey added out of excitement.
"The majestic Jade Tigers of Macaw," Liu Hai told Dewey, showing a pair of green colored tigers behind his back. "Humanely raised in our natural wildlife pavilion and business center."
"Whoa." Atticus said.
"Actual tigers!" Dewey gushed, coming up to the special tigers out of excitement. "Do the number of stripes tell you their age? Is it true if you stare at them in the eyes they won't kill you, or does that make them want to kill you faster?"
"Oh, would you like one?" Liu Hai asked him.
Dewey gasped, crying tears of joy as he came to adopt one of the tigers as his own pet.
"You can't give a child a tiger!" Scrooge told Liu Hai.
"Especially not this child." Atticus said, referring to Dewey.
"Dewey Junior, you're coming home with us," Dewey told the tiger before looking back to Scrooge and Atticus. "Oh, and I already named him. Oh, and I'm already super emotionally attached."
"Oh, fine," Scrooge rolled his eyes. "But I am not changing its litter. Now, about that exit."
"I think it's this way." Thor said as he lead the way to the right.
The others soon began to follow after him. A man walked by which made the tiger growl at him and he soon ran away.
"That guy at the mall with the iguana is gonna be so jealous." Dewey smirked as he continued to hug his tiger.
Meanwhile with Cherry, Louie, Donald, and Gladstone...
"Give her a spin!" A vendor smiled, standing beside a wheel that had prizes or to 'spin again', 'try again', or 'free pizza'.
Gladstone smirked and soon spun the wheel with no sweat as it landed on 'free pizza dinner' until he seemed to wink at the wheel which landed on 'free pizza for life'.
"How is that even possible?" Cherry asked, referring to what just happened.
"Who cares? We got free pizza!" Louie beamed.
"Can't waste all the luck on me." Gladstone smirked.
"Hmph... I'm going in..." Cherry scoffed as she came up to the wheel to spin it. "I don't believe in luck anyway." She soon gave the wheel a good spin, knowing the wheel would stop at any of the spots.
Donald looked hopeful for Cherry as they watched the wheel spin. The wheel soon came unhinged and began to roll all around the casino, causing a lot of damage for everybody.
"Attention, the 3:15 performance of Aquarioon: The Sacred Waters of Aquarien has been cancelled." The announcer informed the patrons.
"NO!" Huey's cry of agony was heard.
The others looked to Cherry while she looked very sheepish.
Donald put his arm around her to try to comfort her with a small smile. "It coulda happened to anybody."
They were soon in front of a toad who had a prize for anyone that could tell how many fingers he had behind his back.
"Eight?" Donald guessed.
"No." The toad replied.
Cherry played another chip in. "Five?"
"No." The toad replied.
Donald soon played another chip. "27?"
"No." The toad replied.
"27?" Donald tried again.
"No." The toad said.
"...27...?" Donald still guessed.
"Stop it!" Cherry groaned.
"How can he possibly think that guy's holding 27 fingers behind his back?" Louie asked Gladstone about Donald's guess.
"I don't know, Lou," Gladstone sighed. "I just don't know."
Thor soon broke out of the crowd, acting like a spy, and soon rolled around, crawling on the floor, and poked out from random corners, but it didn't seem to work.
"Sometimes, he's a challenge." Lionel sighed.
"I can tell." Jessica said.
"I navigated myself out of the Infinitaur's labyrinth, freed myself from the Forever Fields of Fantoom, why can't I find the blasted hotel exit?" Scrooge complained.
"Oh, don't worry," Webby reassured. "I left a trail of snacks behind us to mark our path."
"You mean the same trail that Dewey Jr. has been eating?" Mo asked, annoyed.
Webby looked over and soon groaned in annoyance as Dewey rode on his tiger's back.
"He's a tiger," Dewey smiled innocently. "You tell him not to eat something."
"Ugh." Atticus groaned.
"You look tired, Mr. McDuck," Liu Hai said to Scrooge, startling him a bit. "I implore you to check in to a room."
"Oh, no, we are not interested." Scrooge glared.
"At least stay for lunch at our Buffet of Many Lands! You can visit the entire world on a single dinner plate," Liu Hai insisted. "Imagine taco dim sum. Fettuccine eclairs."
"Why would I want to imagine that?" Scrooge asked Liu Hai.
"Sorry, sir, but the only thing we're hungry for is adventure and-IS THAT A FOUNTAIN MADE OF CHOCOLATE?!" Webby replied before getting ecstatic.
"You can dip positively anything in it." Liu Hai told her.
"Strawberries?"
"Mm-hmm."
"What about my hand?"
"Sure."
"What about your hand?"
"Um, uh, fine."
The kids soon hurried to the buffet.
"Kids, wait! What about The Golden Cricket?!" Atticus called out.
"I have to keep an eye on Webby." Mo told Atticus before running off.
"What about the mysteries of the universe?!" Scrooge cried out.
Thor soon leaned into the chocolate fountain and let some chocolate fall into his mouth.
"What about a nice, warm bed?" Liu Hai smirked to Scrooge.
"Fine, check me in." Scrooge groaned.
"Might as well get it over with." Atticus shrugged.
"Whoa! Hey! Cool it with the chocolate!" Lionel told Thor.
"I can't help it... It's soooo goooood..." Thor chuckled, a bit hyperly.
Lionel simply groaned out of annoyance.
"Join me, Lionel... Join me..." Thor said.
Lionel shrugged and soon magicked up some marshmallows and began to stick them in the chocolate.
Meanwhile, back with Cherry, Donald, Louie, and Gladstone...
"27! 27! 27!" Donald cried out.
"Donald, stop, it's getting embarrassing." Cherry groaned.
"Please!" Louie added.
"No, no, no, no. Let it ride," Gladstone said, helping Donald down. "You're about to-"
"Two? We have a winner!" The toad smiled to Gladstone, taking out some car keys. "Congratulations. You won a brand-new Thunderclutch sports car."
The toad soon tossed the car keys to Gladstone who caught them luckily.
"Great, this the second car I've won for-" Gladstone started.
"Four? You win again!" The toad laughed, tossing him another set of car keys, showing another winning car.
"Seriously?" Gladstone replied.
"Wow, you really can't lose." Louie smiled, taking the keys as he ran off happily.
"Yeah, I know." Gladstone said, sounding a bit bored.
"It gets boring winning all the time, doesn't it?" Cherry asked Gladstone.
"Yes, it really does," Gladstone replied. He saw that Donald was feeling down. "So close, Big D," he soon said. "Hey, how about we play-"
"Oh, I give up," Donald sulked. "I came to help you, and instead you embarrass me in front of the kids."
"Why, I'm not trying to embarrass you," Gladstone smiled. "I just wanted to give you and the fam a taste of the good life."
"By showing them I'm a loser?" Donald asked him.
"Ugh, winners, losers, who cares?" Gladstone replied. "If you want to impress them, keep playing. Your luck is bound to change."
"Hey, Uncle Gladstone!" Louie called out, honking the horn happily.
"I'm done." Donald soon stormed off.
"Wait, no!" Gladstone cried out.
"Uncle Donald's taking a break, huh?" Louie remarked, coming beside him. "Well, then this is the perfect time for us to hit the big winner's tables."
"Louie!" Cherry scolded.
"Cherry." Louie replied simply.
"I don't need you. I need him." Gladstone told Louie before storming off after Donald.
"Huh?" Cherry asked out of confusion.
Louie and Cherry glanced to each other as Gladstone went off.
"Something smells fishy..." Cherry said.
"Sorry, that's me!" Thor smiled, putting some trout in the chocolate fountain. "My mom says fish is brain food!"
"Yuck! Wait, aren't you supposed to be with Atticus and the others?" Cherry asked him.
"We're trying to find a way out," Thor smiled. "This place is... A-'maze'-ing!"
Cherry glanced at him.
"'Cuz it's like a maze," Thor smiled. "We keep getting lost."
"Oi." Cherry groaned.
"Do you wanna help us?" Thor asked. "You seem so smart."
"Oh... Um... Thank you..." Cherry smiled bashfully about being called smart. "Erm... I don't know if I'd be much help though."
"Well, we still could use some help getting out." Thor said.
"Uh..." Cherry paused.
"Come on!" Thor smiled, taking her hand and running with her.
"Wah! Okay!" Cherry yelped as she was pulled so hard and fast that her feet didn't touch the ground.
