Chapter 3
Dewey had a dream that night. He was slow dancing with Webby in a ballroom. They were dancing to classical music, until he fell. Dewey never fell during a dance, he was considered a very good dancer. As he started getting up, Webby was already dancing with someone else. He looked to see who it was. As they started turning, he saw that it was none other than Nathan. He was filled with anger. He tried to speak, but his dream wouldn't let him say anything. Nathan on the other hand said anything he wanted.
"Were you saying something?!" Nathan asked. "I can't really hear you over all the fun we're having." As they turned again, Webby didn't look like she was having fun at all. In fact, she looked lonely and sad. Dewey tried to walk over to them, but there was an invisible wall blocking them from each other. Dewey tried to break it down, but Webby and Nathan were getting further and further away from him. Dewey was doing everything he could to help her, but it was too late. Just then, Dewey woke up in a cold sweat. Louie noticed that Dewey was worried about something that happened in his dream.
"You okay Dewey?" Louie asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost or something." Dewey started rubbing his head.
"I wish it was a ghost." Dewey said as he got out of bed. "Then it'll be more of an adventure than a nightmare." Dewey walked over to the bathroom to start brushing his teeth. As he was brushing, Huey came in with bags under his eyes and a nice blue sweater vest.
"Here, put this on." Huey said as he put the sweater vest on Dewey.
"First of all, don't ask me to do something if you already did it for me." Dewey stated as Huey was writing a list in his notepad. "Second, you look horrible, did you even sleep last night?"
"Nope!" Huey answered quickly as he pulled Dewey out the door.
"Where are we going?" Dewey asked as Huey continued walking.
"We're going to the mall." Huey said trying to keep himself awake. "We're gonna test out your new and improved preppyness." Dewey was confused but went along with it.
Once they got to the mall, Huey started telling Dewey how to act. He had to act and look like he was rich. He had to talk and walk formally. Everything that he used to do, he had to do the opposite. Dewey felt a little bit uncomfortable with his new lifestyle, but he was confident that it will get Webby to fall for him. As he was practicing his preppyness, Nathan and his friends showed up.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the brats of Scrooge McDuck." Nathan said with a grin on his face. Huey put his hat down a little bit so Nathan wouldn't recognize him. "I'm beginning to have doubts that some low class scum such as yourselves have a high class, universally known, trillionaire uncle." Dewey wanted to throw a punch at him, but instead he decided to handle the situation with words.
"I apologize if you have doubts about our wealth." Dewey started as Nathan started raising one of his eyebrows. "But I assure you that just because we don't go around bragging about how much money our guardians doesn't mean we don't have money." Nathan started getting angry.
"Are you mocking the way I talk?!" Nathan asked angrily. Dewey didn't know what to say. He broke out of his preppy voice.
"Wait, I wasn't trying to mock you." Dewey tried to explain. "I was just trying a new approach." Nathan didn't care for what Dewey was saying and started to raise his fist. Huey quickly intervened.
"You have to excuse my brother." Huey said trying to sound positive. "He was just trying to talk more formally than he usually does." Nathan started inspecting Huey.
"I feel like I know you from somewhere." Nathan started to say as Huey instantly put his hat down more. As Nathan started to realize who Huey was, Dewey started to pull his brother away.
"Come on Huey, lets go to the food court." Dewey said as he and Huey went further away from Nathan. Huey thanked Dewey as they started heading to the food court. On their way there, they saw Louie and Webby sitting down at a table. They sat down with them and they started talking. They thought it was weird how they all decided to go to the mall. They decided to split up into groups of two. Huey and Louie were together and Dewey and Webby were together. Dewey and Webby started walking around the mall until they came across an empty dance hall. They walked in and noticed the classical music playing on the speakers.
"Wanna dance?" Dewey asked a nervous Webby.
"I don't know how." Webby said to Dewey's surprise.
"Of course you know how to dance." Dewey said with encouragement. "Everyone knows how to dance. You just need a little push." Dewey stuck out his hand and Webby grabbed onto it. They both got in a slow dancing position. "Now that we've got the form down, all you have to do is sway back and forth." They started swaying in unison as Webby got excited.
"I'm doing it!" Webby said excitedly as Dewey chuckled. Webby then started thinking about yesterday. "Hey Dewey, I'm sorry about what I said yesterday. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Dewey was touched that she apologized.
"I'm sorry too." Dewey started. "I said some things that I shouldn't have said and I didn't mean to hurt your feelings either." Webby was happy that they made up after what happened yesterday. She started resting her head on Dewey's shoulder. Webby then noticed that Dewey was wearing a sweater vest.
"Why are you wearing that?" Webby asked as Dewey didn't know how to answer the question.
"It was just a new style I wanted to try out." Dewey said trying to make an answer as quick as he could.
"Cool, I kinda like it." Webby said as Dewey smirked to himself. As they continued to dance, the music suddenly stopped and the lights turned off. Dewey and Webby didn't know what was going on, but Dewey had a glow stick with him.
"Do you wanna keep dancing or do you wanna leave, cause I think the power went out?" Dewey asked as Webby thought of an answer.
"Let's dance for a few more minutes." Webby said as she and Dewey danced. Dewey thought it was getting awkward, so he started to hum a melody. Webby loved the melody as she felt safe in Dewey's arms.
Huey and Louie started making their way out of the mall because the power went out. As they walked out, they noticed Nathan and his friends standing by the exit. Huey and Louie felt uncomfortable, so Louie put his hood up and Huey put his hat down so they wouldn't see them. They began walking through the exit and made it outside. As Louie put his hood down, he noticed that Nathan and his friends were right behind him. Huey was then grabbed by one of Nathan's friends.
"I knew it." Nathan said terrifyingly. "I knew I knew you two from somewhere. You guys were at that party and gave me a black eye." Huey was very scared.
"We're really sorry about that, please don't hurt us!" Huey said fearfully as Louie didn't say a word.
"What about you?" Nathan asked as he snapped his fingers. His friend quickly grabbed Huey's arm and held it up against his back. "Are you sorry about what happened?" Louie didn't want his brother to get hurt, so he quickly apologized.
"Yes, please, I'm really sorry about what happened." Louie said quickly and apologetically. "Please let my brother go." Nathan started to grin evilly.
"I think your brother needs to be punished for what he did." Nathan said as Louie was confused. "How bout we make this an 'eye for an eye' deal." Louie tried to stop him.
"Don't give him a black eye, he was just acting on impulse." Louie said as Nathan started to laugh.
"Do you really think I want to touch a commoner?!" Nathan laughing hysterically. "I want you to give him the black eye." Louie was surprised by this.
"Well you can forget it." Louie said as he crossed his arms. "I'm not hurting my brother for something that you deserved, creep." Nathan was angry at this.
"I can have my friend here break his arm." Nathan said as his friend started pulling Huey's arm up more, causing Huey to jump and yelp. "Or you can man up and punch your brother in the face. What's it gonna be?" Louie was thinking about his options. If he punched Huey, then he would be the one that caused him pain. If he let his arm get broken, then Nathan would be the one that caused him pain, but it would hurt a lot more than a punch in the face. As he made his decision, Lena came out of nowhere and hit the guy holding Huey.
"Run!" Lena yelled as Huey, Louie and Lena started running away. Nathan wanted to run after them, but he saw Dewey and Webby coming out of the mall. He walked over to them with a smirk on his face. He started talking to Webby as he pushed Dewey out of the way.
"Hello, my dear." Nathan said humbly. "And what brings you to this location at this hour?" Webby chuckled at the way he was talking.
"I was just hanging out with Dewey." Webby said. Nathan decided that he wanted her to like him more than Dewey.
"Would you care if I invited you to the Duckutante ball?" Nathan asked a confused Webby. "My father will be the one hosting it this year." Webby chuckled.
"No thanks, I'm not really interested in that kind of stuff." Webby said as Nathan was surprised by her answer.
"You must have misheard me." Nathan said angrily. "My father, the tenth richest person in Duckberg, is hosting this year Duckutante ball."
"Well you must have misheard me as well, because I said I wasn't interested." Webby said surprised by Nathan's true personality. Nathan then walked away angrily.
"You will go to that ball with me whether you like it or not!" Nathan said angrily as Webby looked at Dewey.
"You were right, he does seem like a jerk." Webby said as Dewey laughed.
"I didn't wanna say I told you so, but..." Dewey said with a grin. Webby started laughing as they started walking home.
Nathan started walking with his friends. He was angry about being rejected by Webby. His friends were concerned.
"So what are we gonna do now?" One of Nathan's friends asked. "She said she didn't want to go with you." Nathan started evilly grinning and laughing maniacally.
"She has no idea what my family can do, and she will go that ball with me." Nathan said as he started walking up to his mansion. "Whether she likes it or not, she's going to that ball." Nathan went into his basement and walked into a dark room. He started holding up a blue crystal orb.
"What's that?" Nathan's other friend asked.
"This is a seduction orb." Nathan stated laughing maniacally. "It allows me to seduce anyone. Then they'll only do whatever I say. But it can only work on one person at a time." His friends were intrigued by this. "I want to use it on Webby, but I think I'll have to test it on someone else first. Let's test it on the red one." Nathan said grinning evilly to his friends.
