All that Glitters (2017 Scrooge McDuck x Goldie O'Gilt)

by MaggieMangle

She'd made one stupid mistake in her youth, one mistake that had cost her the love of her life. All for gold that she had never even found That is, until about 3 months ago. But it wasn't near as worth it as she had originally thought. She frowned slightly, thinking about all of the thing that could have been. She was so deep in thought she hadn't noticed the large shadow approach.

4. Chapter 4

Goldie sat on the couch, slightly irritated. The boys had the wonderful idea of a movie night, and now here she was. As 'The Greatest Showman' played, Goldie stared off into space, not really paying attention. She'd noticed Scrooge had been acting strangely these past few days. She turned to him and spoke quietly. "What's on your mind Sourdough?" she asked. Scrooge glanced at her, softly replying.

"It's just...they remind me so much of Della at times." he said. Goldie nodded. "Yeah...especially Dewey. He's so much like her." She whispered. "Uh, Uncle Scrooge, can we go make some more popcorn?" Huey suddenly asked. Scrooge nodded without saying anything as the kids, including Webby, paused the movie and ran to the kitchen.

After a moment of silence, Goldie glanced back at Scrooge. But then Scrooge's shoulders jump, and his chin touches his chest, and Goldie realized he was crying. That is highly worrying. Goldie turned to Scrooge and pulled him into a hug. She'd never been good at comforting someone, but she wasn't an idiot. And she could tell when someone needed a hug. Even if it was Scrooge McDuck.

Goldie wasn't sure what to do. None of any of this struck her as Scrooge's way of handling things. But then, Della was important to him. But she'd only seen him cry once or twice before, and never out of grief. One was powerful onions, and the other was from pain.

Without warning, Scrooge stood up and held his hand out. "Care for a dance, O'Gilt?" he asked her. Goldie was taken back by this, but smiles warmly and took his hand. After a few minutes of dancing, Scrooge stopped. Goldie, confused slightly, looked up at him. "What's your game here Scroogey?" she asked. Without warning, Scrooge leaned in and kissed Goldie.

Loud cheering of "SCROLDIE! SCROLDIE!" could be heard from the kitchen.

Hey guys! I'm back! Sorry for the wait! I wanted to give you guys a little more Scroldie mush before the real stuff begins.

Also, some bad news. An amazingly talented author AND person, BubblyDucks, has decided to quit this fic. She is an amazing person, and if she's out there tonight, I hope she reads this.

I'm sorry.

ALSO!

Our final Heartbeat is on a SHORT hiatus. I know you all hate hiatuses, and believe me, I do too, (*cough* Mozart's fantasy *cough* Unexpected affection *violent coughing*)

But I'm sorry, I'm having a bit of trouble seeing where that story is going, and I know I promised one of you guys an update soon, but a family emergency just happened a few days ago.

I hope you can all understand,

But I'll see you next time!

ALLONS-Y!
