Four months later it was Christmas Day and Webby,her mom,and Kyle had gotten an apartment .It was in a town called St .Ducks Worth. The apartment wasn't in the best part of town but Webby made friends as she always did. Webby was shook awake by her mom who her picked her up throwing her in the air .She was sleeping on the floor since they hadn't gotten furniture yet .She giggles as she is swinging around.
"Santa came baby girl run downstairs and see "She ran down the steps after being set down down giggling.
Webby's mouth dropped opened "A Barbie jeep"She happily jumped into it starting it up and drove it forward a little .She giggles driving in circles around the room.
Her mom smiled "yeah Santa knew what you wanted "She opened the door"come on let's take it outside .Webby drove the car out the door with a huge smile on her face.
She could see it was still dark out. Her mom happily giggled chasing her as Webby drove along beeping the horn ."Go to the gas station baby we need something sweet for Christmas "Webby smiled and turned her car beeping heading toward the gas station. They pushed the car behind the store and hide it then went into the station getting cookies and candy. They walked over to the drink station .Webby's mom poured a little soda into a cup then throw it on Webby.
Webby giggled "o no you didn't"She puts some in her cup throwing it back at her mom .Some spilled onto the floor. Webby's mom did it again only to run to the side of the candy counter .Webby walked up behind her and throw some on her head .They giggled .Which cause Webby's mom to filled her cup up all the way .Webby hide behind the stack of bread .She stuck her head out "come and get me "She giggled right as her mom poured the hole thing over her head.
The store clerk walked up behind them and said "excuse me ladies but your making a mess I am afraid I am gonna have to ask you to leave"Webby and her mom look at each before they bust up laughing .
Her mom grabs her hand "Lucy I think I am ready to leave now"She pats the store clerks bottom and they run out laughing.
At the Mcduck house the boys had gotten the family early .The boys were unwrapping there gifts .And Scrooge and Miss Beakley were rubbing there eyes awake. It was five in the morning when the boys had woke them up.
"A remote controlled airplane"Huey stood up hugging the two adults .He popped in the batteries in and then flew it around the room .Scrooge ducking his head almost getting hit by it.
"An Xbox one "Louie explained as he pulled it out the box and sat it up on the TV .He began playing ."This so cool"While Dewey rode around on his new bike. The living room floor was covered in rapping paper by the time the boys were done opening all there gifts .The two adults were snapping pictures and smiling as they opened them after they were done Miss Beakley and Duckworth cleaned up the mess. Miss Beakley found another gift on the floor .Her face sadden as she opened the card .
"To Webby from the boys"She sat on the couch just staring at it rubbing her hand over the card . She made things as normal as possible because she didn't want the boys seeing sadness in the house. She thought about Webby every day but mostly kept it to herself. She walked into the room as the boys were now were playing with there new toys.
"Something wrong Miss Beakley ?"Scrooge asked walking into the room sitting down next to her . She handed him the present and the look on his face turned sad he gulped .He hugged Miss Beakley tight"I know it's just not the same with one of the kids missing and of all days I miss her to but we are gonna keep this cause she is gonna come back"The two hugged for a few minutes.
Back at the apartment after Webby and her mom had come back she was pushed back outside to the play and the door was locked .Her friend Jessica came riding up on a new bike down the path her mom running behind her.
"Hey Lucy like my new bike ? Cool you got a Barbie jeep"She smiled happily "come on my mom will take us to the park"
Her mom smiled and nodded "come sweetie you can come with us"She was a nice lady wearing a white skirt and gray top she wore gray flats . She reminded you of one of those moms on an old TV show. She looked down at her "maybe you should get dressed first "She smiled knowing it was Christmas and she thought the child was just excited about getting a new present"go on we will wait"She did notice the night grown she was wearing looked dirty like it need a good washing.
"well I can't see my mommie she kind of locked me out"Webby looked down at her feet.
"Your mom locked you out the apartment?" The browned haired lady says giving her an odd look."Come on sweetie you can come to my house You can wear some of Jessica's clothes "She took Webby's hand bringing her back inside her apartment which was only a few doors away. Jessica grabbed a dress for her room and came running back down. Webby looked around seeing there house was so clean the Christmas tree was in the middle of the room and it had lot of toys under it .She turned seeing Jessica as she ran back down with the dress.
"It kind of the looks like the one I am wearing we can be twins "she hands the dress to her mom. She was a nice girl with brown hair which she always wore in pigtails and was wearing a really pretty pink dress with tights and black flat shoes.
Jessica's mom Cindy removed her night gown .Her face became froze for a minute .She noticed some black and blue marks on Webby's back and arms .She smelled and was clearly in need of a bath.
"Jessica could go outside and play for little while"Jessica nods and opens the door walking outside shutting it behind her. Webby watches her leave."Lucy Honey when is the last time you had a bath?Where did those black and blue marks come from?"Did your mommie or daddy do that?"She takes her hand taking her to the bathroom and begins filling it adding bubbles.
"that man is not my daddy .My name is Webby not Lucy but please don't tell anyone cause I don't want to get anyone in trouble"Webby looks at her with pleading eyes .See my mommie took me cause Uncle Scrooge paid her to take me away cause my Grammy and uncle didn't want me anymore . Webby tells her as Cindy sets her in the tub. She begins washing the child's hair .She has her close her eyes and her rinses out the shampoo ."I can't tell you about anything else cause I will get in trouble."She begins giving the child a good bath .
"Webby where did you live when you were with your grandmother and your uncle?"the women asks picking her up out the tub drying her off. She dresses her in one of Jessica's dresses then drys her hair with the dryer then turns her around picking up a brush .She begins brushing it into pigtails like she dose her own daughter's and places little little bows in hair.
Webby looks at her as there is a pounding on the door"in Duckburg"Cindy turned away from Webby opening the door to see Webby's mom on the other side of the door. She smiled warmly walking over taking Webby's hand .
"Come on baby girl lets go get stuffed full of junk food it's Christmas "She takes her hand swinging it "Hey cute dress thanks Cindy Tell her thank you baby girl"
Webby politely says "thank you" and she waves as she leaves.
As soon the door shuts Cindy's gets onto her ipad. She begins looking up information before picking up her phone and making a call .Scrooge was outside in the yard tossing around a football with the boys it one of there Christmas gifts. Miss Beakley comes running into the yard excited .The game stopped as she ran in between them .
"It's Webby some women in apartment complex in St Ducks Worth called the police She said she saw Webby just this morning and she told the women her name"Miss Beakley said jumping for joy."the police are on there way there now"
"Its a Christmas miracle come on boys lets go pick her up and have a Christmas we will never forget "Scrooge says rushing into the house"Duckworth "He yells happily.
Dewey runs inside grabbing the present they got her and the boys high five each other as they head down the road singing Christmas songs as they go making Duckworth wrinkles his nose.
