Neb: I do not own Ducktales. Louie had crossed the wrong duck. Sure, it was another kid like him, but we find that the kids in this show are just as capable as the adults. Not to mention this kid enjoys collecting magic items. We will move on to Huey in this chapter and work our way back to Louie.

The next Junior Woodchuck challenge involved rock climbing. Huey wasn't particularly strong, but he has had enough instances in adventures where he had to cling to something in order to save his life helping himself build stamina. He paced himself quite well actually. Still, as he got closer and closer to the top he begun panicking. What if he wasn't good enough to do this? Strength was Webby's thing. He sighed to himself, maybe he should climb down.

"Keep going Huey!"

Huey turned his head to see Violet Sabrewing and Lena cheering him on.

"Come on," Lena called out. "Your almost there!"

"The moment you stop, you lose momentum," Violet pointed out. "Just keep going!"

Huey nodded to them and continued his climb. He fumbled a few times and was scared, but he didn't back down. He made it to the top and was awarded his Rock Climbing Badge.

"Congratulations kid," a Senior Woodchuck smiled as he handed Huey his next badge.

"That was amazing," Lena responded as she and Violet closed in on Huey.

Violet also had earned the same badge a week in advanced and knew how hard it was. She wasn't physically strong either, but she understood how to pace herself through the challenge. "Excellent work Hubert."

"Can this day get any better?", Huey wondered. He did hope his mother and Scrooge would be here, but they were off with Louie taking care of an errand. Huey didn't quite know what though.

"So, how do we want to celebrate?", Lena asked.

"Celebrate?", Huey repeated.

"Yes," Violet concurred. "A victory of this magnitude should be met with either a reward or a new challenge."

Huey thought for a moment as he realized what he wanted.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The three of them were now at the Comic Book store with Dewey and Webby as Huey was getting ready for a trading card tournament called Duck Calling. This was a strategy game that started getting popular a couple months ago and Huey had recently enhanced his structure deck.

"You got this Huey," Webby cheered. Violet and Dewey gave him a thumbs up also.

"Nerds," Lena yawned as she went to the corner of the store to play on her cellphone.

Huey begun his first match. He played a lockout strategy that involved counter decks that liked to conjure bigger units. Forcing both players to use only small units. This was the perfect strategy given everyone who played this game was in it to conjure Dragons and Demons. They'd never expect Huey's Fairy Spam strategy mixed with a floodgate. Not to mention his deck was tuned up with equipment that made his smaller units gain extra attack and increased their damage.

After an hour of playing cardgames, Huey didn't realize how many of his opponents rage quited. He didn't want to upset anyone, he just saw that it was the best way to win the game and did it.

"An excellent strategy," Huey's final opponent spoke up. "I guess I'm locked out of Dragons."

"Yeah," Huey smirked. "Sorry about that." The kid that was sitting across from him was wearing a blue and yellow striped hoodie and had red feathers. The kid was a duck like the rest of them.

"Unfortunately your strategy is flawed," the boy yawned.

"Impossible," Huey gasped. "I've checked every angle!"

"Your sure of that?"

"I am!" Huey didn't know why this guy was bugging him, but he could feel the Duke rising to the surface inside his mind. Huey breathed for a moment to control himself. He didn't need to cause an incident.

"How about a wager then?", the boy smiled.

"What kind of wager?", Huey asked, intrigued but unsure.

"It's a simple one." the boy explained. "If you win, I'll admit your the better player, you can even control how I say it."

"Thank goodness it isn't money," Huey sighed in relief. "Scrooge doesn't give us a big enough allowance and also it's illegal to gamble, especially at our ages. Plus betting cards isn't much better either. Sorry, I'm rambling."

"No it's ok," the red feather'd boy nodded. "I agree actually. But do you agree to my terms."

"Sure," Huey shrugged. "You can shout from the rooftops that I'm the greatest player ever. I don't care."

"And if I win, you'll do the same for me," the boy wondered. "I mean, I'd get you to say whatever I want?"

"As long as it's a single sentence," Huey negotiated. "I don't want you controlling what I'd say for a long period of time."

"That's fine," the boy shrugged. "Your draw."

Huey did his favorite combo, making it so only small monsters could be played thanks to his sword of the gnomes. Also his golden fairy that he played made it so his opponent was locked into only having two play points. "Even if he has controlling magic, or counter magic, his options are limited, while I only need two play points to win. Plus he already admitted to playing dragons. Their weakest monster requires three play points to play it."

The boy sized up Huey. He saw the grin on the boy's face and was unimpressed. "I suppose it's time for some reverse magic."

Huey's grin faded. Reverse Magic was a card that specifically counter lock down strategies. How could the kid know that's what Huey was going to do.

"I use reverse magic to target your golden fairy. meaning that only cards with play points over two can be on the field." That cost the boy a single play point, but he was no longer locked. He could play a unit that was worth four play points now.

"Y-you somehow knew what I was going to bring to this tournament," Huey realized.

"I had a suspicion," the boy admitted. "I played dragons to deal with the other dragon players, but I kept reverse magic in my deck just in case if someone were to be so bold."

"N-no!"

"I play my Silver River Dragon! It's ability is to allow us to discard our hand and to draw a new hand." They both did so. "My Red Demon and Blue Demon can activate in the discard pile. When they are discarded and you have no play points, you can play them without paying their cost." He had three large units on the field that could easily wipe Huey's fairies off the board. "eliminate him."

Huey's heart sank as he lost. He was so close to winning the tournament, yet just didn't make it. "I- that was a good strategy! You have to play against me again."

"W-what?"

"Dude your awesome," Huey admitted. "So you want me to give you praise, I'll give you praise. More then one sentence in fact!"

"What a dork," the red feathered duck kid sighed. "That wasn't the arrangement. You say whatever I want you to say, as long as it's one sentence right."

"O-oh," Huey frowned. "Fine, whatever jerk. Just tell me what it is."

He turned to Lena who was hanging out in the corner of the store. "I want you to ask her out."

Huey became nervous all of a sudden. "What! No!" He looked to his family for support, but Dewey was distracting Webby and Violet with comic books while dancing.

"Are you not a going to keep your word? Doesn't your honor as a Junior Woodchuck demand it?"

Huey's face fell when he realized the boy was right. He didn't want to cause trouble for Lena or to embarrass himself, but he had an oath to follow.

"Good boy," the red feathered duck smirked as Huey went over to Lena.

"H-hey Lena?"

"What's up? Is the stupid game over?"

Huey gulped as he felt a pit in his stomach. He didn't think of Lena in any romantic sort of way and he was too young to think of anyone that way anyways. "W-will you go out with me?"

Lena's jaw dropped as she dropped her phone.

"Don't kill me," Huey cried as he ran out of the store.

"Huey," Dewey called after him.

"What' happened?" Webby wondered as the others went over to Lena who was frozen.

The red featured duck boy made his way out the store after collecting his free cards he got from winning the tournament. He smiled to himself as he watched Huey run down the street for his life. He then looked at his watch as Louie headed over to him.

"Fine, I'm at the stupid comic book store," Louie spoke up. "Let's settle this Al."

"No need to worry green boy," Albert smirked. "Consider it settled."

"W-wait that was easy," Louie grinned. "Thanks I guess."

"Louie," Dewey spoke up as he exited the store. "Something is wrong with Huey. He ran off crying for some reason."

Louie looked at Albert in shock as the boy shrugged back at him.

"Never cross me again." With that Albert headed away.

"W-what?" Dewey responded. "What's going on?!"

"He just poked the bear," Louie pointed out. "That's what's going on..."
