Chapter 4

It was a week later. The date was now December 23rd. Huey and Dewey were walking down the street looking for a place to eat while Louie and Webby were out shopping. Dewey was upset about something, and so was Huey.

"Hey Huey?" Dewey asked.

"Yeah." Huey responded.

"Can we do that thing where we talk about our feelings?" Dewey asked while twiddling his thumbs.

"I thought that was for girls, Dewford?" Huey said with a smirk. Dewey was upset.

"I'm serious!" Dewey said. Huey was now concerned.

"What's wrong?" Huey asked. Dewey had a hard time trying to say what he was thinking.

"Do you think Webby likes me?" Dewey asked nervously. Huey's eyes widened.

"You like Web...?" Huey was cut off by Dewey putting his hand over his mouth.

"Keep your voice down." Dewey whispered. Once he let go of Huey's face, huey started laughing hysterically. Dewey folded his arms as he waited for his brother to stop laughing. As Huey laughed harder, Dewey's face became redder. "It's not funny Huey!" Dewey said. Huey tried to stop laughing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Huey said trying to catch his breath. Huey was trying hard not to laugh.

"What are you laughing about? Me and Louie saw you with that girl last night." Dewey said laughing at Huey.

"First of all, it's Louie and I, second of all, what happened last night is none of your business." Huey said folding his arms. Dewey then became serious.

"Why did you reject her kiss?" Dewey asked. Huey was embarrassed to tell him his reasoning. Dewey then put him in a headlock. "Answer the question." Dewey demanded.

"Alright, fine!" Huey said. "It's because I never kissed anyone before, alright!" Dewey then fell to the ground and started laughing hysterically. Huey was annoyed and embarrassed by this. "Alright, you proved your point, can we go now?" As Huey turned around, he bumped into someone and fell down. "Sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you like that." The person he bumped into turned around. It was Richard.

"Well if it isn't the charity case!" Richard said evilly grinning. Huey looked at Dewey and then looked back at Richard.

"So you're the one that hurt my brother!" Huey snapped. Richard laughed at Huey.

"Yeah, so?" Richard said evilly grinning at Huey. Huey grew even more angry.

"So, you should stay away from my brother, or else." Huey said in a serious voice. Richard then laughed at him.

"Or else what nerd, you gonna solve a math problem?" Richard said pushing Huey to the ground.

"Back off!" Dewey yelled trying to save his brother. "Leave him alone!" Richard then stepped on Huey's hand. It still wasn't all the way healed from when Derek broke his fingers, so Huey was in a lot of pain. As Huey screamed, Dewey ran towards Richard.

"I said back off!" Dewey said as he punched Richard off of Huey. He helped huey up as Richard recovered from the blow. They started to run away, but Jonas came out of nowhere and grabbed Dewey.

"Dewey!" Huey yelled as he tried to get Jonas off of his brother, but as this happened, Jared grabbed Huey. Richard was about to punch Dewey, but then someone else showed up.

"What are you idiots doing?!" Huey heard a familiar voice say. Huey immediately recognized the voice.

Louie and Webby were out shopping. As Webby was picking out everything she wanted, Louie was holding all the bags.

"How did I get stuck with this job?" Louie asked himself. Webby was too busy looking at ribbons to notice. Once she picked the ribbon she wanted, she bought it and they headed to the next store. They walked passed a shop that said cursed swords available. Webby looked through the window of the store to see glowing swords in a barrel.

"Do you think Dewey would like this?" Webby said pointing at the sword. Louie looked at it.

"Of course, why?" Louie asked.

"I wanna get him something for Christmas." Webby said. "I already got you and Huey a present, but I still need to get Dewey the perfect gift." Louie agreed that the sword would be the perfect gift. Webby walked in the store and purchased the sword.

"Yes, Dewey is gonna love me!" Webby yelled as she held up the sword. Louie noticed what she said, so she rephrased it. "This, I mean Dewey is gonna love this." Webby said nervously.

"I heard you the first time." Louie said grinning. Webby was now nervous that Louie knows her secret.

"You say anything, and your Christmas present turns into firewood." Webby whispered into Louie's ear. He gulped as she said this. They started walking to the next store. Webby started talking again.

"How do you think Huey and Dewey are doing?" Webby asked.

"I'm sure they're fine." Louie said with a cool attitude. Webby shrugged.

"I guess you're probably right." Webby said feeling like something was wrong.

Derek stared at Huey as Huey stared back at Derek. They looked at each other for a long time until Derek started to speak.

"Long time no see, nerd." Derek said with an evil grin. Huey wasn't surprised that Derek and him didn't officially make up. Huey was scared of Derek this time though.

"I'm not scared of you anymore, Derek." Huey said confidently. Derek started to laugh.

"Because I gave you a little break." Derek said as he walked towards Huey. Dewey struggled to get free of Jonas' grasp so he could help his brother. As Derek stood in front of Huey. Derek then told Jared to let Huey go. As Jared dropped Huey, Huey stood in front of Derek. "If you're not scared of me, then you should be able to fight back." Huey didn't like where this was going. "Either drop to ground and kiss my feet or punch me, your choice."

As Huey was about to punch Derek, he couldn't raise his fist. He knew that if he punched Derek, Richard was gonna do something bad to Dewey. Huey then dropped to the ground and kissed Derek's feet. Derek was pleased with this.

"Now give me your Guidebook." Derek said holding out his hand. Huey handed him his Guidebook and Derek threw it. "Let's show my friends how obedient you can be." Derek said laughing. "Pick it up and bring it to me." Derek demanded. Huey walked over to where the book landed, picked it up, and walked back over to Derek. "Good boy." Derek said treating Huey like a dog. Huey's cheeks turned red from embarrassment as Derek's friends started to laugh. Dewey was angry.

"Leave him alone!" Dewey yelled. Derek was angered by this.

"Richard, shut him up." Derek demanded. Richard punched Dewey in the face. As Dewey cried in pain, Richard then punched him in the stomach. Huey begged Derek to make him stop. "Oh, do you wanna take his beating instead?" Derek asked evilly grinning. Huey looked over at his brother. Dewey was shaking his head.

"It's okay Huey, I deserve it." Dewey said looking at the ground depressingly.

"Yes, I'll take his beating." Huey said as Derek punched him in the face. As Derek repeatedly punched him about a hundred times, Huey yelled in pain from the impact of each punch. When Derek stopped, he spit on Huey and then walked away.

"See you around dork." Derek said as he and his crew walked away. Dewey ran over to Huey.

"Why would you do that?" Dewey asked while helping his brother up.

"Because you said you deserved it, but nobody deserves that." Huey said smiling at his brother. Dewey smiled back.

"Well now I know that we can't take orders from them anymore." Dewey said. "Promise me that we won't ever let them push us around again." Dewey stuck his fist out. "Promise?" Huey then connected his fist with his brother's.

"Promise." Huey said with uncertainty.
