Chapter 6

Louie was pacing around the living room as Huey and Dewey sat on the couch. They could tell that Louie was upset about not telling him what was going on. They felt bad about it and they put their brother in danger because of it.

"Okay, so let me get this straight!" Louie said angrily. "You find out Derek came back, you trust him enough to go to his house, you hang out with him, he betrays you, and you don't tell me about it until now?!" Huey and Dewey were ashamed of themselves for not telling Louie about what was going on. "Why didn't you tell me?" Dewey was gonna answer the question, but Huey answered instead.

"It's my fault." Huey said as Dewey and Louie looked at him. "I didn't want anyone to know I saw Derek because I didn't want to make a big deal about it. But now it's a big deal. The only reason I didn't tell you Louie, was because Dewey already figured it out." Louie was still mad, but he knew he wasn't gonna be mad forever. He stopped being angry and hugged his brothers.

"Next time one of us is getting bullied, promise that we tell each other, got it!" Louie said as Huey and Dewey agreed. "Now lets get ice cream, because I'm hungry." Huey, Dewey, and Louie went outside to go get some ice cream. Huey left his Junior Woodchuck Guidebook on the coffee table as they each got bowls of ice cream.

Dewey and Louie went to their rooms. Before Dewey got to his room, Louie stopped him and wanted to talk. As they both walked into Dewey's room, they sat down on his bed.

"Webby said you went to jail." Louie said. Dewey was irritated that Webby told Louie about it. "You visited Richard?!" Dewey explained.

"I was thinking it was my fault that he got there, but he showed me that it was his own fault." Dewey said.

Louie was confused.

"Why would you even think it was your fault in the first place?" Louie asked surprised that Dewey would say that. Dewey was then irritated.

"Look we already went over this in jail, I don't need to go over this again." Dewey said as he laid down on his bed.

"Okay Dew, just know that your brothers are here for you and stuff." Louie said as he walked out of the room. Dewey and Louie went to sleep as Huey was talking on the phone with April. April was visiting France for the summer, so Huey was trying to call her once a week to learn more about France. But not just France, he also wanted to know more about her.

"So, what do you do for fun?" Huey asked April. April started thinking about it.

"Well, you can eat deliciously small foods, you can go shopping, or you can..." April continued as Huey was getting bored of the conversation. "There is also a very cool art museum that you might..." She was interrupted by Huey's excitement.

"Did you say museum?!" Huey said trying to hold all of his excitement back. April explained all the cool stuff about the Louvre. As Huey and April talked, April said that she had to go due to it being almost morning in Paris. Huey didn't realize what time it was either, so they both hung up the phone and went to sleep.

Morning came, and Dewey woke up feeling like it was gonna be a great day. He brushed his teeth and combed his hair as he walked down stairs. He heard Huey screaming as he was going down the stairs, so he started to run.

"WHERE IS IT?!" Huey screamed as he shook Dewey. Dewey pushed him off.

"Where's what?" Dewey asked as he saw that the whole living room was a mess. "Huey, what happened to the living room?" Louie walked down and went into the living room to see his brothers.

"Hey guys, what's... woah!" Louie said as he stared at the living room. "What happened here?" Dewey whispered to Louie.

"I think Huey's broken." Dewey whispered. Louie nodded with agreement as Huey explained why he was so concerned.

"I can't find my Junior Woodchuck Guidebook anywhere!" Huey said anxiously. Huey tried to take deep breaths as Louie helped him up. Dewey then found a letter. He started to read it out loud.

"Meet me ALONE at the mall if you want your stupid book back. -D." Dewey read as Huey got his stuff on.

"Don't follow me, I'm getting that book back." Huey said as he ran outside. Dewey wanted to follow, but Louie said to stay behind and let Huey handle it.

"We can't just sit here!" Dewey said as Louie held his shoulder.

"What if he destroys the book if he sees us, Huey would go through a mental breakdown." Louie said as Dewey agreed. They didn't like the idea of not doing anything, but that's all they could do, absolutely nothing.

Huey got to the mall and was greeted by Derek and his friends. They pulled him into a private bathroom. Once there, Derek started to speak.

"Hey nerd, can you tell me the first letter of revenge." Derek said with an evil grin. Huey responded.

"R." Huey said angrily. Huey heard a familiar voice behind him and noticed that it was Noah. He was being held by Nathan.

"Oh did you meet my friend Nathan, he's quite the charmer." Derek said as Huey stared angrily at Derek.

"Let him go!" Huey demanded as Derek backhand him to the ground. Huey rubbed his face as Derek stepped on his chest.

"I'm not doing anything until you get on the ground let me go over the first letter in the acronym, REVENGE!" Derek said as he stepped on Huey's chest hard enough for him to not be able to breath. "The first letter is R, so that means Remind. So get on all fours, and bark like a dog, so I can remind you that you do what I say." Huey didn't want Noah to get hurt, so he did as he was told. Derek laughed as Huey was treated like he was Derek's pet. Noah didn't like seeing Huey broken down like that. Derek then took Huey to a the bathroom stall and shoved his head near the toilet.

"Prove that you're my pet, and drink up." Derek said expecting Huey to drink from the toilet. Huey didn't want to, but Nathan threatened to break Noah's arm. Huey cried as he drank the toilet water. Noah struggled to get out of Nathan's grip.

"Leave him alone, he did nothing to you." Noah said as he tried to help Huey. Derek pulled Huey out of the toilet water and placed him in front of Noah.

"Your friend needs to be punished for speaking out of terms. Punch him." Derek demanded as Huey stood there. Derek then whispered something in his ear. "If you don't do it hard enough, then we'll beat him up to the point where he can't walk, and then we'll burn your book." Huey knew that he had to hurt his friend to save him. He punched Noah as hard as he could as Noah cried in pain. Huey felt awful for punching him, but he didn't want him getting hurt anymore than that. Derek then pushed Huey to the ground.

"Who's your master?" Derek asked. Huey stood on all fours.

"You are." Huey said as Derek stepped on his back and pressed down to put his whole body on the ground.

"Are you gonna follow everything I say?" Derek asked as Huey laid on the ground crying.

"Yes sir." Huey said as he now bawled on the ground, reliving the same experience he's had 2 times already.

"On to the next letter." Derek said evilly grinning. "E for embarrassment." Derek grabbed Huey and put him on his feet. He walked him out of the bathroom and the started heading towards the fountain at the center of the mall. When they got there, Huey saw that there were a lot of people their age walking around the fountain. Derek pushed Huey to the ground and ordered him to stand on all fours. As Huey did so, Derek sat on him and started reading a comic book. Huey's cheeks shined bright red as kids his age walked by and laughed. Noah watched as Huey was forced to be Derek's personal slave for the day. A group of kids that Huey saw at school before it got shutdown showed up.

"Hey, isn't that the nerdy kid that liked the one kids shoe?" One of the kids asked as Huey's face turned from bright red to crimson. The kids laughed as the mocked him.

"Hey Derek, I didn't know your shoe shining boy was a bench too." One of the kids said as the other kids gave him a high five and walked away. Huey started to cry, but Derek noticed this.

"Aw, whats the matter, you gonna cry." Derek said in a babyish voice. "If you're gonna cry, maybe you need a diaper to go along with it." Huey immediately stopped crying to save himself from anymore embarrassment. He was already having enough trouble trying to hold Derek up, now he had to worry about more public humiliation. After 20 minutes of shaming Huey and people walking past not doing anything, Derek got up and started to speak.

"I think it's time we move on to the third letter." Derek said as he evilly grinned. Huey hated it when he grinned. "V for Violence." Derek grabbed Huey and pulled him out of the mall. Huey didn't like the idea of getting beat up, but it was the only way to get his book back and save Noah. Once they got out, Derek started talking about what happened.

"Did you see how nobody cared that you were in pain?" Derek asked Huey as he cried. Derek then kneed Huey in the stomach. "Aw, you gonna cry to Uncle Scrooge?" Derek said in a babyish voice. "Well let me tell you something, you can't buy your way out of this one." He punched Huey in the face as Huey fell backwards. He continued punching him until Noah said for him to stop. Derek got mad and backhanded Noah, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Shut up nerd, I'm tired of you always trying to get involved." Derek said as he pulled his knife. "Maybe I should brand him, don't you think Huey?" He said as he turned Noah around. Huey stopped him.

"Please he didn't mean it, just get my beating over with." Huey said as Derek put the knife away and continued punching him. Huey cried in pain as Derek laughed hysterically. Derek then stopped punching him.

"Back to Embarrassment." Derek said as he picked up Huey and threw him back in the mall. Derek then dragged him to the fountain and threw him in the water. Derek laughed Huey got out of the fountain. The rest of the mall laughed as well, all but the security guard.

"Is this man bothering you?" The security guard asked as Derek looked at Huey angrily.

"He has my book and my friend." Huey said as the security grabbed Huey's book and Noah then kicked Derek and his friends out. Huey and Noah thought it would be best to wait before going anywhere. They sat down on the bench as Huey began to dry off. Huey then started to talk.

"I'm sorry for punching you, I didn't want you getting beat up." Huey said apologetically.

"It's okay Huey, I know you wouldn't do that intentionally." Noah said rubbing the side of his face. "Derek sure is a jerk." Huey looked at the ground as he remembered all the things that Derek has ever done to him. He started holding his book very tightly and angrily.

"I know." Huey said angrily as he looked down at his book.
