Chapter 3

Huey and Dewey had a really fun time at Derek's house. They played games and watched movies. They could have done that at their own place, but it was cool to do it with other people besides themselves. Once they left, Dewey said that he forgot his charm bracelet that Webby gave to him. He went to go get it and overheard Derek talking to his friends.

"I can't believe you invited that nerd over to your house." One of Derek's friends said.

"I can't either, but just wait, I'll get my revenge." Derek said evilly grinning. "All I have to do is befriend him, then he'll never see it coming. Speaking of which..." Derek said as he pulled out his orb and looked at Dewey. Dewey was surprised that Derek knew he was still there. "When the time comes, you will do as I say, got it." Dewey was not in his right mind, all he could do was nod his head and leave. Dewey met Huey outside.

"Did you get your bracelet?" Huey asked. Dewey was confused.

"Yeah, why?" Dewey asked in a confused state. Huey was confused now.

"Because you went back in to get your bracelet." Huey said. Dewey couldn't remember doing that at all. They decided not to worry about it and walked home. Derek's friends were impressed.

"He doesn't remember anything?!" One of his friends asked. Derek laughed maniacally.

"Not only that, but now I control his actions, and his every word." Derek said as he pointed to the orb. The orb revealed Dewey and Huey walking home. "Now I just need Louie, and I'll be all set. We just have to hope that Lucky does her part." He said as he manically laughed.

The next day, Louie was walking with his brothers down the boardwalk to the arcade. He was ready to face that girl again. Huey was gonna meet Noah at the library and Dewey was gonna meet Webby at a nearby cafe. Louie walked in the arcade and got on Dance Duck Revolution. He inserted his quarters as he noticed someone next to him. It was the same girl from yesterday.

"I hope you're not gonna throw a tantrum again." The girl said. Louie was angry.

"It wasn't a tantrum, I was just a little upset." Louie said angrily. The girl started chewing on her gum. As they started to play, the girl was getting every step perfectly, and so was Louie. As the game was coming to an end, Louie accidentally miss stepped and got a lower score. As the girl broke her own high score, Louie was once again the subject of ridicule in the arcade. As Louie walked out, the girl followed him.

"You wanna rematch?" She asked. Louie was surprised by this.

"Yes!" He said as he took out his quarters. The girl stopped him and handed him a slip of paper with her address on it.

"Then come to my place tonight, we'll play one game, and that's it." The girl said as she started to walk away. "The names Sarah by the way, but my friends call me Lucky." Louie didn't care what her name was, he just wanted to beat her at her own game. As she walked away, she got a call from Derek.

"Did it work?" Derek asked sternly. Lucky started to laugh.

"Definitely." She said with an evil grin.

Huey and Noah were enjoying their books at the library. Noah then started speaking.

"So, who's Derek?" Noah asked trying to be subtle but completely failing. Huey sighed.

"Did Louie say something?" Huey asked. Noah nodded in agreement as Huey explained.

"Derek is a bully, well, was a bully." Huey started to explain. Noah was intrigued by the story. "All he ever wanted to do was torment and own me. He even engraved his initials in my back." Noah thought Louie was lying at first, but hearing it from Huey made him think that it wasn't a lie at all. Huey was gonna continue his story, until Nathan walked in.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the nerd squad." Nathan said as Huey and Noah ignored him. Nathan then took Noah's book and started playing around with it. "Nice book, I wonder what happens if I..." Nathan started to rip a page of the book. Noah didn't want it ruined so he stopped him.

"Stop, please!" Noah said as he snatched the book from Nathan. Nathan then got mad.

"Did I say you could grab that book?" Nathan said. Huey started to speak.

"Did we say you could come over here?" Huey asked angrily. Nathan then got in Huey's face.

"Talk to me like that again and I'll turn you into my personal punching bag." Nathan said as Huey got angry.

"I'd like to see you try." Huey said as the librarian came over.

"Is this guy bothering you?" The librarian asked Huey and Noah.

"As a matter of fact, he is." Huey said as the librarian escorted Nathan out of the library. Noah was surprised.

"Wow, that's two times you stood up for me now." Noah said. "Thank you." Huey stopped him.

"You don't have to thank me, that's what friends are supposed to do." Huey said as he continued his story about Derek. Noah and Huey were just happy that they now had a friend who shared the same bullying experiences that they had. As the story ended, they finished their books and walked over to the cafe to meet Dewey.
