It had been a week since Quackity had met Charlie, learning quite a bit about the other. Charlie had said it was a foreign exchange student from “Franceland,” which Quackity knew wasn’t a real country. It also seemed to lack friends, always gravitating towards the duck hybrid to talk to in his free time. Quackity had taken pity on the slime and just let the other follow him around, even when it was being a little too clingy for the noirette’s liking.
“Quackity from Dream High, where are you going?” Charlie asked, a smile never leaving its face, seemingly always happy to see its best friend. “Going to my club meeting.” Quackity replied, putting his hands in his uniform’s pockets, “Club L’manburg? I thought you left that club.” Quackity nodded at Charlie, “I did, but started my own club, Club Las Nevadas. It’s going to have a Las Vegas casino vibe going on y’know?” Quackity explained, Charlie’s Head tilted to the side.
“What’s a Las Vegas?” It asked, Quackity chuckled at the other’s curiosity. “It’s a place, Charlie. It has bright lights and stuff with a lot of buildings.” The slime’s mouth turned into the shape of a small o. “Can I join?” Charlie excitedly asked, grabbing Quackity’s hand, Quackity flinched at the other grabbing his hand, knowing he’d have to clean his hand off of slime later. “Uh, sure,” Quackity answered, the corners of his mouth went up, forming a tired smile.
Charlie was quick to separate their hands and wrap its arms around Quackity. “Thank you, Quackity of Las Nevadas!” Hearing Charlie say that he was from Las Nevadas filled him with pride, weirdly enough. It made the club feel official, when he really only had Charlie, Fundy, Foolish, and kind of Purpled. (Wilbur keeps bothering him though.)
Quackity pried Charlie’s arms off him and checked his watch, “C’mon Charlie, I don’t want to be late for the club I created.” Quackity initiated the hand holding this time, dragging the smiling slime behind him. He had a bit of a rough start after the Football game, there was a good feeling in his head though, this club was going to succeed.
He had Charlie with him after all.
