"Well, fancy meeting you here!" Scrooge and Magica almost jumped out of their respective skins and almost spilled their respective ice creams at the sound of the voice behind them. The last time either one of them had seen Brigitta MacBridge hadn't exactly gone well. "Hello Brigitta." Scrooge turned to face the blonde who had been rather obsessed with him for a while and did his best to be polite and not let his fear show. "Hello." Magica said slowly, trying to be polite as well. "So, you're back in town?" Brigitta looked at Magica, nothing but smiles on her face. "Yes, for now." Magica answered, eyeing Brigitta cautiously. "Well then, we should all go on a double date sometime!"
Magica and Scrooge both choked on their ice cream at the words "double date". "Uh, what do you mean 'double date'? I thought it was made clear that there is nothing going on between us." Magica said, being the first to regain herself. "Right, because it most certainly doesn't look like you two are on a date right now." Brigitta laughed while Scrooge and Magica both choked again.
"Um, Brigitta we really aren't on a date and- wait, if you're insinuating that we would be one of the couples on this 'double date' then who would you be with?" Scrooge asked, the realization occurring to him that Brigitta wasn't asking him to be her date. "Well actually Rosolio and I have plans to go to that new lounge that just opened a couple weeks ago so I was thinking you two could tag along!" Magica tried to push aside any annoyance she felt about Scrooge asking why Brigitta wasn't asking him out but when she heard Rosolio's name she couldn't hide the surprise and that pretty much overran anything else at that moment. "Wait what? You and Rosolio? As in, that idiot who kept insisting I was his fiancée; Rosolio?" Magica asked in complete shock.
"Oh, don't say that. He really is a sweetheart you know, but I wouldn't go as far as to say we're officially a couple or anything; we've only been seeing each other for a month now." Brigitta said, a faint blush crossing her face. Scrooge couldn't help the smile coming to his face as he saw Brigitta's eyes light up as she spoke about her new budding romance. "Well I'm happy for you Brigitta." He said.
Magica was just too stunned for words, she'd wondered where Rosolio had been but she never thought he'd actually been seeing someone so soon, not that she wasn't happy about it she just couldn't help being floored because she'd figured he had been off moping or something. "I, I'm happy for you too; and I'm glad Rosolio isn't off being depressed somewhere." She finally spoke, after processing the new information. Brigitta and Scrooge spoke a moment more before Brigitta got her meal and walked off to a booth. Of course, she'd given Scrooge the date and time for the "double date" and reiterated that they should go.
"Well that was unexpected." Magica deadpanned as she returned to her sundae. "Yes, very unexpected. You seemed pretty taken aback that your former stalker got over you so quickly." Scrooge replied, between licks of his ice cream. "Are you bothered by it?" Magica swallowed hard to avoid chocking for a third time at the question that was totally out of left field. "Of course not! I'm glad he's not going to be giving me anymore headaches and… I'm glad that, it sounds like he's happy." Her voice was irritated and a little flustered at first but with the last part became quiet and Scrooge heard the sincerity in it as she said she was happy for Rosolio.
The waitress came out of the kitchen at that moment and handed them the bags with the carryout boxes inside and they stood to leave when yet another familiar face walked in. "Oh, criminy." Scrooge muttered as Donald walked in the 'In' door with Daisy right behind him. Their eyes met for the briefest of moments and then Donald saw who was standing next to his uncle and his expression conveyed that he knew instantly that something was up. "Quick, let's get out of here!" Scrooge said in a hushed tone as he grabbed Magica's hand and ran out the 'Out' door.
"Why are we running away from your nephew?" Magica asked as they ran down the street. She almost wanted to laugh, the whole scenario felt like they were a pair of teenagers trying avoid getting into trouble with his father. "Donald doesn't know about Huey," Scrooge huffed as he ran. "He's been with Daisy the last few days helping her move." "So, you just left him the dark but now that he knows I'm here again he knows you're hiding something," Magica said as she stopped and acted as an anchor of sorts, forcing Scrooge to stop. "What are you stopping for?" Scrooge panted. "We've got to get back before Donald does so we can stop him from finding out about Huey!" If you give me a minute to catch my breath, I'll just transport us there with a spell!" Magica snapped between deep breaths.
Once they had caught their breath Magica used her spell to return them to the mansion; however, Donald, by way of having Daisy drive him since she had driven them to the diner, had beaten them back and had already been informed of the situation curtesy of Poe and Mrs. Beakley.
Scrooge said nothing and walked into his home office with Donald behind, having a fit and sounding unintelligible as usual the whole way. Until they were inside the office. Magica was headed to the room she was to stay in and as she passed by the office, she heard Donald yelling at Scrooge.
"This is exactly what I was afraid of!" Donald yelled. "I'm sorry, but this is why I didn't tell you, because I knew you'd fly off the handle like this!" Scrooge defended himself. "And why shouldn't I? You can't get that thing off Huey, can you?" "Well no, not yet; but we're working on it and it will be off soon!" Donald scoffed. "That's why she's here isn't it? You're really gonna trust Magica DeSpell to get that thing off poor Huey?!" "Well she knows more about this kind of stuff than we do so what else can I do?"
Scrooge continued to defend himself and his actions but Donald's temper wasn't cooling. "Right; this is gonna be Della all over again isn't it!" Donald spat, his voice cracking a little. "Don't say that! Don't even mention that! You know I tried as hard as I could back then…" Scrooge's voice faded and his eyes started to well up. "This will not be like that. I will fix this and everything will be okay this time." He said, the sound of desperation in his voice. Now Donald seemed to calm down. "I'm sorry Uncle Scrooge, I shouldn't have said that… I'm just worried about Huey." "I am too."
