Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Duck and Mallard. Enjoy the 2000-word chapter. I don't own Ducktails, Disney and Jymn Magon do.

(Duckberg, 1 day after JAW$!)

it was official… Lena couldn't do this, she looked down at the friendship bracelet on her hand.

she could hide her thoughts at the very least from Magica.

"Do you always hang out here?"

Marvin asked from the top of the Amphitheater as he dropped down from the seat he was on.

"Do you always seem to want to check up on me? And what are you doing here?"

Lena asked as Marvin walked till he was standing a few feet away from the girl as he crossed his arms.

"You and my best friend since I was 10 was eaten by a magical sword which you then blew up… And I'm the one your questioning?"

Marvin asked, De Spell growled, Tiffany had been a perfect way to get the dime… Ok, not entirely, she hadn't found a way to control the massive shark like monster…. But it was a work in progress, right?

"Yeah, so? It got blown up, done is done, right?"

Lena said as Marvin nodded before he looked down at the glowing amulet he wore.

"Webby was also worried about you…. Not just me, I heard she's coming to visit soon…. So, you can blame us both…. Sorry for being your friends I guess."

Marvin said as Lena frowned again…. Friends, there was the word again, one which De Spell…. Which her aunt, never, ever, failed to mock her about.

"Yeah…."

Lena said as Marvin looked around, the Amphitheater was old, he hadn't seen this one since he was a kid…. It was supposed to have been demolished soon.

He guessed they had decided not to follow up on that at all, he turned to Lena and took a seat next to her…

"So…. I'm guessing this is home sweet home? Or is it just a secret hideout?"

Marvin asked, he didn't have much room to talk, the entire area was a work of art, and plus he didn't really like to judge others.

"Its…. Home… Me and my family don't get along…. We always…"

Lena started to say before Marvin finished her sentence for her, taking a guess at what she was talking about.

"Fight? Yeah, that's what family does, Lena…. Friends, family… Everyone fights…. I argue with my older brother…. Who thinks he's the best in the universe all the time… But he's still family…. But I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say…. You ran away from home due to something your family did?"

Marvin said as he walked away before turning to look at her brother he turned to face her.

"I missed the mark? I'm better at…. Exploring, then I am at doing stuff like family issues."

Marvin said as Lena heard De Spell chuckle in Lena's head as she chuckled.

"No, it's because little Lena cares about the pathetic Mallard…. She likes him…. And she likes her friend Webby too…. And she's afraid of her dear aunt…."

De Spell said as Lena tried and managed to push De Spell out of her head, she would do her aunt's work…. Even if she hated and didn't care about it anymore.

But she didn't want Webby and Marvin to be part of this, especially when they tried so much to be her friend.

"Yeah…. That's it, Marvin…. Me and my family…. We don't get along, they don't let me do anything, not even stuff that I should be allowed to do… Like make friends or hang out with people…. They don't watch over you like normal parents…. They just want me to do what they want and that's it…"

Lena said as Marvin frowned, he had never heard about someone like that, they didn't sound like good parents.

De Spell smirked like an evil snake as Marvin turned to face Lena.

"They don't sound like good parents…. Or good family if they're like that…. They sound controlling…. I can't blame you for running away…."

Marvin said, he wanted to say more but he was cut off by another voice.

One which he and Lena knew as well.

"Hey guys! Geez, you guys are almost never apart, I almost think your dating!"

Webby said as she dropped down, Lena and Marvin looked at each other and blushed as they stretched the back of their necks.

"WE ARENT DATING!"

Marvin and Lena shouted as Webby rolled her eyes, the two teens looked at each other and laughed nervously.

That had to be the 6th or more time they had heard they looked like a couple, and the first time wasn't even from Webby, but from the triplets.

"So, what's been going on with my best teen friends in the whole world?"

Webby asked as Marvin smiled, Webby hadn't gotten much less awkward then he remembered her.

Then again, he was 12 when he had first met her, so there was that.

"Nothing, just checking up on my best friend…. Considering the fact that you just dealt with a giant money shark…. Seriously though…."

Marvin said as he looked up at the sky and spread his arms wide.

"I LOVE THIS CITY!"

Marvin yelled as Lena and Webby giggled before Webby hugged both her friends.

(Abandoned docks, 30 minutes later.)

"This is becoming a trend to come down to these docks all the times…."

Marvin said as he looked into the water from where he was, Lena walked up besides him before nudging him.

Marvin tumbled into the water as Lena laughed before the water began to bubble.

"It's going to be like that, isn't it?"

Marvin said before he smirked, Lena stopped smiling when she realized what was going to happen.

"Don't you da-…"

Lena said before Webby watched Marvin grab Lena by the foot and pulled her into the ocean, she slammed into the ocean as Marvin laughed.

"HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

Marvin laughed as Lena surfaced as Marvin turned to her and laughed.

"The look on your face was so priceless…."

Marvin said before Lena smirked and leapt on Marvin, he gasped and both vanished under the waves as Webby ran over, Marvin and Lena surfaced with Lena putting Marvin in a headlock as he looked at her in frustration.

"I hate you, that was so unfair…."

Marvin said before he and Lena vanished underwater once again as Webby laughed in amusement at her two friends.

"You jerk! I got this shirt from the Featherweight's concert!"

Marvin heard from Lena before she burst out laughing.

(5 minutes later.)

Marvin wringed out as his jacket dripped water everywhere from his clothing as he turned and frowned.

"I really need a new look soon…."

Marvin said as he looked at Lena who was getting water out of her shoes as he laughed in amusement.

"I couldn't ask for better friends to have with me here…."

Marvin said with amusement once more as he sat down on the docks and looked at on the water.

"You two are something else."

Marvin heard from Webby as she and Lena too sat on the edge of the docks as the group sat and looked at the water.

"Do things ever stop being crazy and fun around here?"

Marvin asked and Webby shook her head, things would never be normal around here and that was how people like Marvin and Lena and Webby liked it.

"No, if they did, I would have moved out years ago…. It would have been so boring and not worth the time if this place stopped being crazy…."

Marvin heard from Lena as he nodded, it as still fun to do what they did…. And for Marvin, the longer it was fun and crazy, the longer Marvin would adore this town more and more.

"Amen, La Strange…. Geeze, I've never just sat back and admired how awesome a town we live in all the time…. Was it always this nice or did I just start noticing it just now?"

Marvin asked as Webby rolled her eyes, Marvin turned and looked at the sky before looking back at the city, which he and Lena turned to gaze at.

"You sure you guys aren't dating?"

Webby asked, the more her two friends spent together, the more she guessed they would be getting together somewhere down the road.

"Nah, we aren't, just because I spend a lot of time with Lena, doesn't mean we are a thing, Webs…"

Marvin said as the trio finally got up from their seats as Marvin turned back to the two girls from behind him.

"Ok, maybe we should start to head back to town…. It's starting to get to the point where it looks like it's going to pour soon…. And I've already been soaked enough…."

Marvin said as he looked at Lena who shrugged as Marvin rolled his eyes before Webby hopped on his back.

"What…."

Marvin said before he fell over, not expecting the smaller girl to latch onto his back as he turned to try and get up.

"Sorry, I thought you could carry me like you did when we were exploring the mansion."

Webby said as Lena rolled his eyes and got to his feet slowly with Webby still latched on.

"That was 5 years ago… Six years ago… And you weren't the same as you were before… Secondly, I wish you told me before you jumped on my back like that…. I'm not physic."

Marvin said as he climbed to his feet and turned to Lena, she looked at them and friend.

"You guys look like brother and sister…. Freaky."

Marvin heard from Lena as he and Webby shared a look at each other in amusement.

"I've been helping her sorry feathered butt since I was 10…. So, I guess we kind of are…"

Marvin chuckled out as Webby flicked him on the ear as the trio started to walk towards the manor.

"Ok baby sister, you just let your big brother carry you to the mansion…"

Marvin said with a chuckle as Webby punched the teen in the back of the head for the lame joke as Marvin turned to Lena as they walked.

"And hey, Lena?"

Marvin asked as they walked, Lena turned to Marvin as they did so, it was going to be a long walk.

"Yeah?"

Lena asked as Marvin turned to Lena after making sure he could help piggyback Webby all the way to the manor.

"If your family really is that horrible, then they don't deserve to be around you… If you've been fine like this on your own… Then you only need friends…. Because that's the only thing that should matter in this case."

Marvin stated as Lena frowned once more, he noticed something happen with Lena's shadow and frowned.

He would have to deal with Magica sooner or later... And he wanted to know Lena's role in all of this before he tried to handle fighting the powerful witch.

"You hear that, little Lena? You don't need me… You only need your silly little crush… And your silly little friend will make everything alright…."

De Spell whispered as Lena tore herself from the words… But she couldn't escape her family…. Even if she hated her family as of now.

"The more we walk, the more I like this city…. I feel so at home here…."

Marvin stated as Lena heard De Spell laugh, saying she would take such pride in destroying the city.

Lena frowned, now she really didn't want her Aunt to win.

But she had to….

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter down! Yes, I know I skipped JAW$! The reason I did that was I didn't know hot to put Marvin in and I didn't want to ruin Lena and Webby getting along. Next chapter will take place a day after the Gizmoduck episode and a day before the Other Bin of Scrooge Mc Duck! Until Wednesday or Later. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
