Chapter Text
It was a somewhat sleepy peaceful day at Mcduck Manor, Scrooge was at the money bin for a meeting, Launchpad was in the garage watching reruns of old Darkwing Duck episodes, and Beakly was sitting in the living room with a cup of tea reading a book. Meanwhile, Della was out in the back watching as the kids played in the pool, both her legs were in the water. Webby, Huey, and Dewey were splashing each other, so was Della, while Louie was floating on a blown up flamingo scrolling through his social media .
"This is boring, can we go somewhere please?" Louie said as he looked at his mom. Della thought for a moment, "We could go to that new ice cream place they added in the food court at the mall?" Dewey jumped from excitement, splashing Webby in the process. "I heard the arcade finally got done remodeling! Can we go there too?" Della let out a giggle and ruffled Deweys hair, "Sure sweetie, you guys go get ready now." The kids all jumped out of the pool, laughing as they ran into the mansion, their wet foot prints printed on the carpet floor, Della probably should have told them to dry off first. She grabbed a towel and dried off her legs before heading in.
"Are you guys ready?!" Della was waiting by the door with her car key. When she didn't get a response she yelled again, this time using their nicknames. " Jet! Turbo! Rebel! Wild Cat! Are you ready?!" Dewey was the first to come running down the stairs. He was wearing a blue flannel, his hair was untamed. The second was webby, she wore her 'cool outfit', which was a hot pink collared shit with a purple flannel over. Her skirt was flannel pattern. Huey was wearing a red long sleeved shirt, a jacket was tied around his waist, he patted his cap to make sure he got his junior woodchuck guide book. Louie wore what he always wore, his green hoodie, that's all he has in his closet, except for a few things that were rainbow. The kids were ready, Dewey was practically bouncing up and down. Della smiled, " Alright, lets go."
The mall was full of people, maybe because they heard of the news about the arcade. Della parked in a space that was not to far from the entrance, but was also a walk to the entrance. "Alright! Lets go team!" Dewey yelled as he yanked opened the van door, Webby close behind him. " Wait! Dewey wait for us!" Huey quickly unbuckled his seatbelt before opening his side of the door, Louie followed. Della quickly got out and locked the car, Huey caught up to Dewey and Webby and was technically dragging him back to the van. "I got them mom!" Huey said as he held up Dewey and Webbys arms. "Thank you sweetie." Della grabbed Louies hand and started to catch up where Huey was. When it comes to exciting events Dewey can't contain his excitement. "Ok, remember the rules when we go into crowded areas. Don't talk to strangers, don't take anything from strangers ok." Louie noticed his mom was squeezing his hand when the others responded.
"Ok now, LAST ONE TO THE ENTRANCE IS THE ROTTEN EGG!!!" Poor Louie was soon yanked and picked off the ground by his mom, they were racing. Dewey and Webby were far behind them while Huey was being slowed down because he was holding down his cap. Della ran up to the doors and held Louie up high as she yelled their victory before setting him down. "Sorry honey, I couldn't pass up the chance." Louie held onto his mom as he got his balance back, " It's ok mom." Dewey and Webby almost ran into Della because of how fast they were going. Huey was a bit out of breathe, Louie patted him on the back. "Can we get the ice cream first please." Huey said as he fanned himself with his cap, it was a bad day to wear long sleeves. Webby turned to Huey with a questionable look, "Are you sweating?" Huey stopped fanning himself and let out a small "no." Webby looked between Huey and Louie, Louie was hearing a hoodie and yet he was ok. Before questioning this Dewey cut in. "What? No, the arcade first." Huey frowned, " Ice cream." Dewey folded his arms, "Arcade." They kept arguing back and forth before Della got in between them.
"Boys stop it, there is only one way to solve this debate." She folded her fist and smashed it on top of her palm. "Rock, paper, and scissors. If Huey wins, we go get ice cream first. If Dewey wins, we go to the arcade. ok?" Both boys nodded and got ready to play. "Best two out of three and...….go!"
Huey thought the arcade was going to be warm but surprisingly it was cool. It was dark but neon lights lit up the place along with the video games. The music in the background blended in with games that were being played. Since the place was remodeled and under new management, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby and even Della were giving 20 tokens for free to use. Dewey and Webby decide to combine their tokens together. "Mom me and Webby are going to go and find 'Dance Revolution'!" The two flannel wearing kids were soon speeding off into the crowded area. Della quickly turned on her phone and opened an app. It was a tracking app for parents and she saw the two running. "I'll go get them." Huey said as he also downloaded the app and started to head off into the direction where Dewey and Webby were at. "Ok, Louie what do you....want to...." Her words trailed off as she didn't see Louie beside her. She frantically searched for him before turning to her screen to see he was standing in one spot. She quickly followed the tracker.
