Chapter 5

Dewey went to school the next day, but this time he was on his guard. If he even caught a glimpse of someone who looked like Nathan, he'd started running away. As he was walking down the hallway, Louie thought it would be funny to scare him. He grabbed his shoulder and whispered random words in his ear to sound like a spell. Dewey jumped up and started getting angry.

"Why would you do that?!" Dewey said angrily.

"Because you're paranoid." Louie said calmly. "Nathan isn't out to get you, he probably just wanted to get Huey." Louie started drinking water out of the drinking fountain.

"If that were the case, wouldn't that mean he wants revenge on you and Lena too?" Dewey questioned as Louie started choking on the water. "It's only a matter of time Llewelyn." Dewey joked. Louie covered Dewey's mouth.

"First of all, keep your voice down, my full name is Louis in public." Louie said as he started to let go of Dewey's mouth. "Second, I think I'm safe while I'm in school right?!" Dewey started laughing.

"If Huey wasn't safe, then we're not safe." Dewey stated as the bell rang for them to go to their next class. As Dewey was walking to his next class, he passed the bathroom and was pulled in. He looked at the person who pulled him in the bathroom, it was none other than Nathan. Dewey tried to run the other direction, but it was no use. He was already under Nathan's full control. Unlike Huey, Dewey could move or think for himself.

"Now little blue, I want you to get me something important." Nathan said sinisterly.

"What shall I retrieve master?" Dewey asked while under his complete hypnosis.

"I want you to get me your brother's blanket and your other brother's Junior Woodchip thingy." Nathan demanded. "Bring them both to me at school by 8:00 tonight."

"Yes master." Dewey said in his hypnotic state.

"Oh and also, tell Webby that she's ugly and stupid. Tell her that no one will ever love her." Nathan said as he started thinking in his head. "And then I'll swoop down and take her." He was waiting for Dewey to say yes master. "Confirm that you will do this for me."

"No master." Dewey said as he was still under mind control. Nathan was getting annoyed by this.

"Oh whatever, it's not like you're a threat to me anyway." Nathan said as he open a portal through his orb. "Remember what you have to do." Were the last words he said before jumping in the portal. Dewey woke up from his hypnosis and was confused by his current location.

"Why am I in the bathroom?" Dewey asked himself before leave the area. He then walked out in the hallway way and saw nobody there. He looked at his watch to check the time. "Oh shoot, I'm late for class. I need to go now!" Dewey started running to his next class before the late bell rang.

Louie was sitting in class worried about being hypnotized by Nathan. He was fidgety all day and could barely sit still. Once the school day ended, he had a hard time bringing himself to go outside. Once he got in the limo that Launchpad was driving, he was greeted by Huey. Huey still had his black eye. Their uncle said that Huey could stay home considering the fact that he got a black eye.

"How was your day at school today, Louie?" Huey asked as Louie wiped the sweat away from his head.

"I'm just glad it's over." Louie said. Just then, Dewey opened the door to the limo and walked inside. Once they were all buckled in, they were all having a conversation about the new Duckvengers movie that came out. They were thinking about seeing it on Friday. Dewey was extremely excited about it. Once they were home, Louie challenged Huey in a video game. They spent theirs time downstairs playing the game, while Dewey headed upstairs to their room. Once it was 6:30, Dewey started going back into the hypnotic state that he was in. He started looking around the room for Huey's Junior Woodchuck Guidebook and Louie's green blanket. He found Louie's blanket easily, but he had to look all over for Huey's JWG. Once he found it, he started heading to the school. Once it was 8:00, Nathan showed up and collected the items. He snapped Dewey out of his hypnotic state.

"You're free to go." Nathan said as Dewey looked at the objects Nathan had in his hand. "Thanks for all the help." Nathan started laughing.

"Give them back, now!" Dewey demanded. Nathan just laughed in his face.

"Don't worry, I'll give them back once I get your brother back." Nathan said as he opened up a portal. "See you around, blue." Nathan jumped through the portal as Dewey tried to run after him. But it was too late, he was already long gone. Dewey started walking home, hoping that Huey and Louie weren't freaking out. Once he got home and walked into their room, it was chaos. The room was a complete mess. Dewey saw Louie in a feadle position on his bed and Huey was pacing around the room like a maniac. Dewey knew that he had to tell his brothers what happened.

"Guys, I got to tell you something." Dewey started as Huey stopped him.

"Not right now Dewey, I'm trying to find my JWG." Huey said pulling his bed apart just to find it.

"Nathan hypnotized me and made me take the book and the blanket." Dewey spit out as Huey and Louie opened their mouths with shocked expressions. Dewey started feeling really bad about this.

"We have to get them back, who knows what he could be doing with them." Louie said worriedly. Huey and Dewey both agreed as they started coming up with ideas. Dewey thought of something.

"Before he left he told me that he'll give them back once he gets my brother back." Dewey started. "He already got Huey, so that would mean his next target is..." Louie cut him off before he could finish.

"Oh no, I'm avoiding that evil wizard at all cost." Louie said putting his foot down. "I'm not going to risk my mind by doing something that I don't want to do." Huey and Dewey started coming up with ways to get Louie to do it.

"But Louie, if you don't do it, you'll never get your blanket back." Huey said as Louie folded his arms.

"I don't care." Louie said as Dewey sighed.

"Remember our bet Louie, we'll double the price if you do it." Dewey said as Louie smiled.

"Okay fine, I'll do it." Louie said with a grin. "But you better not forget about this." Huey and Dewey agreed not to as they all started drifting off to sleep. Dewey couldn't sleep well that night, and neither could Huey. Dewey sat on the balcony as Huey walked over towards him.

"You can't sleep either?" Dewey questioned as Huey nodded his head in agreement. They looked at the night sky as Huey thought of something.

"Dewey, I'm a bully magnet aren't I?!" Huey suggested as Dewey was shocked that his brother would say that.

"What makes you say that?" Dewey asked as Huey started crying a little bit. "Are you getting bullied again?" Dewey started cracking his knuckles.

"No, it's just that we each have our own thing." Huey started. "You're the cool and relaxed, fun guy, Louie is the lazy, money loving guy, and I'm just the nerdy, know it all guy. And with me being the nerdy guy, I tend to attract more unwanted attention." Dewey was confused.

"Why are you me asking this?" Dewey asked as Huey sighed.

"I would ask the JWG, but Nathan has that." Huey said looking down at the ground. "I'm just asking because when a group of people don't like us, they usually go for me." Dewey agreed with the fact that people go for Huey a lot.

"I don't think you have to be a bully magnet Huey." Dewey started as he cheered up his brother. "Louie and I think you're cool, so there's gotta be other people who think you're cool. And I wouldn't consider a cool guy a bully magnet. The key to not getting bullied is confidence." Huey was confused.

"Confidence?" Huey asked as Dewey explained.

"If you have confidence, then no one will ever try to bring you down." Dewey stated as Huey took it into consideration.

"I guess I never thought about it that way." Huey said as he looked up at the sky.

"Okay, now my turn to ask a question." Dewey said as Huey chuckled.

"Okay sure." Huey said allow Dewey to ask his question.

"Have you ever wondered what our mom was like?" Dewey asked as he tried to hold back his tears. Huey didn't know how to answer that.

"Uncle Donald tells us stories about her all the time." Huey said as he started rubbing his brother's back. "We already know what she was like." Dewey got upset.

"Those are just stories, I'm talking about experience." Dewey said. Huey had a harder time answering this then he thought.

"To be honest, I never really thought about our mom." Huey said truthfully. Dewey was shocked to hear that. "The more I think about her, the more I think that we're the reason she left. I always used to think that she left us because she didn't want to take care of us, so that's why she dropped us off with Uncle Donald. I don't want to think about that anymore, so I don't think about her anymore." Dewey knew that Huey was upset about their mom. During their 5th birthday, Huey wished for their mom to come home, but she never did.

"I understand how you feel Huey." Dewey started as he looked at Huey. "One day we'll meet her, then you can ask her why she left. That's a promise." Dewey put his pinky out so he could give a pinky promise. Huey smiled as he also placed his pinky out and hooked it around Dewey's. After they made that promise, they saw a shooting star pass by. They both started making a wish as Dewey thought about something. "You wanna see something cool?" Huey was confused about what Dewey was getting. He was rummaging through the closet and he pulled out a mystical orb. "When we went to Ithaquack, Webby and I were given the Sphere of Selene. This shows images of our mom, it might even tell us where she is." Huey started tearing up as he looked through the orb. He saw how much fun his mom was having and he started looking closer into the orb. He saw a mysterious figure that he couldn't make out. He considered it to be nothing and continued watching his mom through the orb.

"Thank you Dewey." Huey said with tears coming down his face. "I've always wanted to see her in action. Dewey gave his brother a thumbs up as Huey saw the mysterious figure in the orb again. This time he didn't want to think of it as nothing. He thought of it as someone he was supposed to know. "Do you know who that guy in the orb is?" Huey asked as Dewey took a closer look.

"No idea, but do know that I'm very tired." Dewey said as he started getting ready to go to sleep.

"Are you coming Hue?" Dewey said trying with a tired yawn. Huey looked at the orb one more time and then ignored the mysterious figure.

"Yep, I'm getting pretty tired as well." Huey said as he and Dewey went to bed. "Goodnight Dewey." Huey whispered as he drifted off to sleep.

"Goodnight Huey." Dewey whispered as he also drifted off to sleep.
