I personally think the Brazilian version of Fethry - despite beign unpopular and I never came in touch with it before I was 18 (!), which was around February 2016 - is the best one.
Fethry woke up. It was 7 o'clock in the morning. He yawned. He already was a bit late for work. He usually works together with his older cousin Donald. Yes Donald is very much his best friend. Fethry loves hanging around with him. Donald however, even though he loves his cousin, is very annoyed by Fethry's behavior. Well, Fethry himself is pretty clumsy and he says he has ADHD. He keeps messing up all of the time. Yeah, he regards himself as "creative". That might indeed be true. However, his and Donald's job is at the editorial office. A very important job, but well, I'll be honest, it wouldn't be my favorite job, and I don't think Fethry would disagree here. "Damn, I don't have much time", Fethry said.
He went downstairs and took a shower. Then he dressed himself up. If you like at his wardrobe however, you won't see much variation. He always wears a pullover, sometimes in red, sometimes in yellow. And he also wears a red bobcap, typical hipster style. His family definitely matters a lot to the 33-year-old duck. As I said, his favorite relativ is his cousin Donald. However, there are also other family members he endorses more than others. One is their grandmother Elvira who definitely baked the cakes in the world. Another one is his four year old nephew Dugan who lives with him. He is the son of Fethry's one year younger, late sister Mary. He just went into his room to wake him up.
Dugan looks very much like his uncle, just that his feathers are yellow. He wears a pullover too, which is either red or light blue.
Dugan himself had been unknown towards his family for the first four years of his life. He survived a plane crash by him his parents lost their lives. He spent nearly four years in the jungle unless he was found by his uncle Fethry and his girlfriend Gloria. Yes, Fethry is actually not a virgin, as portrayed in the Danish and Italian comics. Just like Donald has Daisy, Fethry has Gloria Pascoalina, a hippie girl usually born in Auckland, New Zealand, who grew up in Denver, Colorado. Whenever they meet, she wants to make sure he's "alive and well". Yeah, she worries much about him, which annoys Fethry a little. Yes, usually the one to annoy others such as Donald, Daisy and Uncle Scrooge. But that does not mean it's impossible to make him nervous. Another person that manages to frustrate him is Dugan. Not surprising, Dugan is a huge troublemaker and over the past months Fethry lost much of his cool. Yeah, ever since he's now raising a kid, he has changed a bit, but not radically. He is still messed up, emotional and full of humor. And he definitely always will be, won't he? Now after he woke up his nephew and took a quick breakfast, he got in his car and drove to work.
While he was driving, he started thinking. "Well", he said. "Over the last ten months have changed. Dugan keeps challenging me a lot. I always wondered how Don always handles his nephews that good and they just turned ten. Well, it definitely is good to have children around, I have babysitted his nephews several times, and Donald has already been babysitting Dugan several times. Thanks God, I honestly cannot do it on my own. Even though many go too far and say I was not able to raise a child. Now come on! I am an adult! Donald has been doing this for nearly a decade after his sister Della disappeared. Now after mine passed away, it's only right to do this duty. Luckily I also have support from Gloria. I might feel like a child and also have a mental disorder, but that shouldn't distract me. I certainly try my best to be a helpful person. I love my family and I don't want them to worry. Never."
While thinking all about his family, he accidentally oversaw another driver and almost rushed into him. "HEY!", the other driver shouted. "Did you win your driver's license at the lottery?" "So-sorry", Fethry mumbled. He sighed. "I wonder why I am so unfocused today!" Well, dear Fethry, aren't you always like this?
When Fethry arrived at the office, he almost ran into someone. It was his uncle. "Ten minutes too late!", Scrooge McDuck said reproachful. Fethry sighed. Not a great start in this week! Nevertheless, he decided to make a joke out of it. "Well, nevermind, me too", he said with a grin in his face. "Be careful, nephew!", Scrooge replied warning with a lifted forefinger. Fethry did not reply but went into the office, where Donald already was working - however, he was two minutes late as well. "Good morning, Don", Fethry said. "Good morning, cuz", Donald replied. "How was the weekend?" "Well, nothing special, as usual", Fethry said. "And yours?" "Not good at all", Donald sighed. "I got into an argument with Daisy and lost a contest against Gladstone." "What sort of contest?" "Well, we bet over 20 dollars who would find a parking spot first. Usually I am an expert when it comes to such thing, but still he won!" Donald sounded very angry while saying this. "I am not surprised", Fethry replied with a cool tone. "Get over it, cuz, you have no chance against him and his lucky fairy." "Well", Donald said. "Only this time you got it right, little cuz, I of course should have known better, but I did not want to be a whimp." "You're not a whimp", Fethry replied, "actually Gladdie's the whimp, I couldn't imagine him being a great contender without his lucky fairy. Absolutely not." "Yeah, that's true. But my argument with Daisy definitely frustrates me more. I was gonna take her to the cinema and again my 313 suffered from engine problems." "Oh dear. And then you were 15 minutes too late, weren't you?" "30 minutes", Donald replied. "Now please do me a favor and do not talk to me about that subject again."
Now the two cousins finally started working on their project. The time started passing pretty fast. Eventually they heard someone knocking on the door. Was it Uncle Scrooge?
No, it was someone with a strong British sounding accent, just like Scrooge, who's born Scottish, but nevertheless, it was not Scrooge, his voice sounded a little deeper. "Kia ora and greetings, Mr. Duck! Here's Mr. Stanford! You wanted me to come here to talk about our new contract, didn't you?"
Mr. Tim Stanford runs a company that produces motorhomes and coach busses. Yeah, Scrooge McDuck has success in several departures, if it wasn't so, he certainly wasn't that rich. Anyways, Tim Stanford and his family usually are from Christchurch in New Zealand's South Island, that explains his strong accent. In March they moved to the United States. His company is doing pretty well. He already had been very successfull back in New Zealand. Now over the past four months he has been even more successfull. Even though he doesn't like to boast, he is pretty humble and gentle, which is quite unusual for a businessman. He is married and has four children.
"Mr. Duck?", Tim asked again. "Are you not here!" "Y-yes, I am", Donald replied, being confused. "Me too", Fethry replied. "This... this is just confusing", Tim said. "I am hearing two different voices, both claiming to be Mr. Duck, but there is no way both can be right. Actually, I am very confident that neither are right. Mr. Duck has a different accent than two people have. And their voices also sound much younger. Strange." "But... but I am Mr. Duck!", Donald protested. "Really! I swear!" "So am I", his younger cousin said." "Oh man!", Tim moaned. "What now? Both claim to be Mr. Duck!" The 46-year-old Kiwi took a deep breath and thought again. "I think I know what's going on! One of those two is the Mr. Duck I am looking for and the other one is one of his family members! That's the solution!" He knocked again. "OK! Who of you two is...?" He thought again. What was his first name again? "Ah, Johnny! Who of you two is Johnny Duck?" Donald took a deep breath. He wasn't talking about...? "You mean Johnny Rockerduck?" "Y-yes", Tim replied. "Well", Donald replied", that's none of us, my first name is Donald and the other one is my cousin Fethry." "OK, but where can I find Mr. Rockerduck then?" "Well, definitely not in here", Donald mumbled. "You can find him in Ganter Avenue 17. "So I was wrong here?", Tim asked. "Goodbye then!"
Ten minutes somebody knocked again. It was Uncle Scrooge.
"How's your work going?", he asked. "Pretty well", Donald replied. "Good to know", Scrooge said. "I am just waiting for Mr. Stanford to come."
Unlike Donald, Fethry didn't quite listen. All he could think about was: "For the love of money is the root of all evil."
