A cute little one shot of Ali and Scrooge!

Enjoy~

Ali was in her bed. It was around 12:30 at night, and she couldn't get any sleep. It had been a few weeks since she had been adventuring with Scrooge again, and the boys. She loved it. Ali wondered why she ever even gave up that life, but then she remembered Della. She silently dismissed the thought from her head. The boys and Webby were having a sleepover at Lena's, leaving Mrs, B, Scrooge, and herself at the mansion. It was an eerie quiet, besides the raging storm outside. A large bolt of lighting struck, along with it came a loud boom of thunder. Ali jumped and pulled the covers over her. She had always hated storms like this. Winds, strong enough to knock you off your feet, rain, pouring down on you from an angle, lightening, lighting up the sky as if it was day, thunder, claps of it accompanying the bolts of lightning.

Yes, for her it was terrifying. It wasn't her fault though. Ali's parents had been killed in a storm like this. Except, along with it came an E-F4 twister. She was the only one of her family to survive. Going through a traumatic event like that, she had the right to be terrified. A loud yell of thunder sounded right above the mansion. Ali's eyes widened and she shot up out of bed. She ran to the nearest room where she knew someone was. She opened the door quietly and peeked in to see who was there. Her eyes widened, and at that moment she knew she should've realized it from the money sign on the door. She saw the sleeping form of Scrooge, and quietly walked in.

"Scrooge? Are you still awake?" she asked quietly. Scrooge sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Ah' am now lass. Is something wrong?" he asked, still half asleep. "Um, n-no I was just, uh.." she trailed off as a large clap of thunder sounded loudly. Ali squeaked and started to tear up, memories of the night she lost her family re-surfacing. Scrooge's eyes lit up in recognition. "Ah, I see. No need ta' be afraid, lass." Scrooge said, smiling softly. Ali looked at him in surprise. She wondered how he knew, but she suddenly flashed back to when she had been adventuring with Scrooge, Donald and Della. Scrooge had always been able to easily read people. Ali inwardly cringed at the thought of Scrooge finding out who she is.

But, she was genuinely surprised when Scrooge patted the bed next to him. (prepare fer fluff XD i had a hard time writing this XD)

Ali hesitantly walked over and sat next to him. When another large clap of thunder sounded directly above them, Ali squeaked and grabbed Scrooge's arm. Scrooge laughed, pulling her into a hug. Ali's eyes widened. After a moment Scrooge let go of her. As Ali pulled away, she heard scrooge mumble, "Ye remind me so much of her..". Ali was suddenly curious. Who was he talking about? "Who 'her' ?" she asked. Ali turned to face Scrooge, sitting criss-cross on the bed. Scrooge visibly hesitated. After a moment, he answered. "A girl, just like you. Ha, her name was actually Alyssa." Ali froze; He was talking about her! She watched as Scrooge became lost in memories, nostalgia evident on his face. "T-Tell me about her, please." Ali asked. Scrooge thought for a moment.

"Well, where do I begin, haha. She was brave, and smart.." he started. Ali listened intently. Scrooge became silent. After a moment, Ali spoke up. "'Was'?" she asked quietly. She knew all too well what had happened. She, after all, WAS the one he was talking about. Scrooge looked away. "She, uh, left. After the boys' mother...disappeared...she ran. Della and her were close." Ali nodded. She looked at Scrooge, and saw sadness in his face. "Alyssa." she whispered. Scrooge's eyes darted over to her.

"What did ye say lass?" he asked. "Alyssa." she said a little louder. "Thats-That's my real name.." she said quietly. Scrooge's eyes widened. They were silent for a few moments. Scrooge was deep in thought. Was it really her? Could it be? Ali decided she needed to do something. She thought for a moment. Ali really wanted to come clean. She wanted to tell Scrooge everything. But she knew he wouldn't believe her. She sighed, deciding that the phrase 'yolo' was going to be something she would go by tonight. Alyssa took a deep breathe, and turned back to Scrooge; only to meet his eyes. he storm had cleared up a bit since she had come in here. The moonlight shown through the window, making his eyes appear to be sparkling. "I.." she whispered quietly. "I am Alyssa. Your Alyssa." she said, her voice barely above a whisper and starting to crack. This time, Scrooge froze.

He stared at her. "It-but-It can't be!" he exclaimed. Alyssa simply nodded. "I can prove it." she said to him. Scrooge looked at her for a minute, studying her face closely, before he nodded numbly. She took a deep breathe, and quoted him, from one of her many adventures with him. "Sometimes, the bravest thing an adventurer can do, is walk away." (YES, IK HUEY SAID THAT, BUT THIS IS AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSSEEE ALSO I WAS LAZY AND COULDNT FIND A SCROOGE MCDUCK QUOTE. SORRY XD)

Scrooge's eyes widened. It was her. Both of their eyes filled with tears.

Scrooge pulled her into a hug. Nothing was going to take her away from him, nothing.

The end~
