The House Of The Lucky Gander
A/n: This is Elliot's outfit for the chapter
3rd Point Of View
Scrooge, the kids and Donald Duck are in the sunchaser, listening to Scrooge talk about a legendary golden cricket who only sings 50 years whilst Elliot is on his phone beside Louie.
Scrooge: "The Temple of the Golden Cricket, every 50 years, at sundown, the golden cricket emerges singing its ethereal song. Some say the song holds the answer to life's greatest mysteries. How did we get here? What's our purpose in the universe?"
Louie: "Wait is that a neon hotdog?"
The kids attention is quickly pulled away looking at the neon hotdog sign along with Elliot glancing at the window before looking back on his phone.
Dewey: "Wow!"
Huey: "So cool!"
Webby: "I'm hungry!"
Scrooge: "Yes, yes, the city of Macaw is very exciting to look at, but you'll only find empty distractions there"
Elliot: "And you can find explosive distractions in Gyro's lab"
The kids laugh with Scrooge shaking his head as Elliot continues to text on his phone, smiling and laughing at the replies from his beloved.
Louie: "I can't believe Uncle Gladstone is here"
Huey: "He's so charming"
Elliot: "Don't forget cool"
Dewey: "And funny"
Louie: "He's, like, the luckiest guy in the world, Uh, Uncle Donald you must've had the best time growing up with him"
Elliot spaces out for a moment, laughing at the selfie Fenton sent him with Dr Gearloose pointing towards him, angrily in the background as Lil Bulb waves to the camera.
Donald: "He's the worst, just the worst!"
Scrooge: "Gladstone Gander is a complete layabout, I don't know why we're responding to his call"
Webby: "It was a call for help"
Huey: "And like Uncle Donald says, 'Family always helps Family'"
Donald: "Why did I say that?"
Elliot: "Because if you didn't I would've grown up to be like Mark Beaks: A spoiled brat"
Louie: "Plus, he's easily our coolest uncle"
Donald: "Hey!"
Louie: "Sorry, coolest non-trillionaire uncle"
Elliot winces, seeing his uncle Donald slouching in his seat as Huey tries to defend uncle Donald averting his eyes away from the cringe, turning back to his phone scrolling past multiple ads for Ottoman Empire.
Huey: "Hey, come on, Uncle Donald is kinda cool"
The plane suddenly dives towards the sea, shaking as Donald straps himself into the seat, panicking in the process.
Donald Duck: "We're all gonna die!, I've wasted my life!"
The plane safely crashes into the sea as the family looks at him as Donald nervously chuckles, sinking into the seat.
Louie: "Define Cool?"
Donald sighs, seeing the kids leave the plane with Elliot gently patting his shoulder as he passes by him.
Elliot: "Don't worry, I still think you're cool, cooler than ice-cubes"
Donald smiles before heading out the plane exit , ignoring the children's excitement for Gladstone as he braces himself for dealing with his incredibly lucky cousin.
Scrooge: "We leave for the temple in an hour Launchpad, I won't wait another 50 years
to hear that cricket sing"
Launchpad: "Sure thing, Mr. McD, I was just gonna swing over and visit an old girlfriend from these parts, See, she's had some problems
with the local crime family, and--"
Scrooge: "Yes, fine, whatever. One hour"
Elliot: "Good luck with the crime family!"
Launchpad sends him a thumbs up before staring towards the horizon, calling for his ex girlfriend with Elliot and Dewey looking at each other before walking away, figuring it's better for them not to intervene.
As the family enter 'The House Of Fortune' they all make their way towards the lift, stepping in and listening to the elevator music with Elliot leaning against the wall next to Louie, occasionally nodding his head to the music.
Louie: "Why did I wear green?, He always sees me in green"
Elliot: "Relax Louie, Green suits you just like Red suits Huey and Blue suits Dewey"
Dewey: "You know I Dew"
Louie: "Yeah, well I need to change things up once in a while like you, you know for free"
Donald: "Take it easy"
Scrooge: "Yeah, if Gladstone's so great, then why did he call us for--"
Gladstone: "Help! No!"
The family quickly rush towards Gladstone's pleas of help, reaching and bursting into the room ready for a fight...... only to see Gladstone getting a message.
Gladstone: "Don't... Stop... until you get that last kink out, Pei Pei"
Donald: "The worst"
Gladstone: "Loose as a goose and ready to gander, Kids!, Superstar!, Uncle Scrooge, D-Money, I was so relaxed I didn't hear you come in, Pei Pei here is a miracle worker, Anyway, welcome to Macaw, Help yourself to everything"
The kids split up around the room, gazing at the sights of the huge room, Dewey plays with the spears with Huey gazing at the PEP! Artwork on the wall with Louie standing beside Gladstone as Elliot hugs Gladstone.
Elliot: Good to see you again Uncle Gladstone, let me guess you paid $20 for this room?"
Gladstone: *Laughs* "Superstar I love your sense of humour, see I actually won this in a poker game, what are the odds am I right?"
Donald snarls in the background with Scrooge holding his shoulder in place as Gladstone brings Elliot away from the two, whispering at him.
Gladstone: "So..have you told D-money about you know who yet?"
Elliot: *Sighs* "Not yet but he has met my brothers and Uncle Scrooge so it's a work in progress"
Gladstone: "Well don't you worry, your old uncle Gladstone has a few tricks up his sleeves"
Elliot side hugs his uncle with Webby gaining their attention, pulling them towards her.
Webby: "Guys, try this!, It feels like you're falling, but you're not"
Elliot: "Whoa!"
Huey/Dewey/Louie: "We're falling!"
Elliot: "Hey guys you know how to make the feeling realistic?....Like This!!!"
Elliot puts Huey upside down, gleefully screaming with the kids begging to be next as he starts to do it, one by one.
Elliot: "Alright everyone say, 'Free Falling!"
Gladstone photo bombs them with Scrooge and Donald glaring in the background as Elliot posts it online, already notifying him the amount of likes he is receiving.
Scrooge: "So, I thought you needed help"
Gladstone: "Oh, I do need your help, Spending all my winnings!"
Donald and Scrooge look unimpressed at him as Elliot glances back, still taking photos of the experience.
Gladstone: "Oh, lighten up, Hey, hey, guys, who am I?"
Gladstone dives into his winnings, swimming around like Scrooge making Elliot smirk knowing where this was going.
Gladstone: *Scrooge McDuck Impression* "Haggis and top hats!, Bless me bagpipes!"
The kids including Elliot laugh with Scrooge having a frown on his face, staring at Gladstone with his arms crossed.
Scrooge: "This place is for no-account freeloaders looking to get something for nothing"
Gladstone: "Ah, that's true, Scroogey McBillions and I am the best at getting something for nothing"
Louie: "Best uncle!"
Elliot: "I agree to a lesser extent!!"
The two of them jump into the pool full of casino chips, leaning at each side, relaxing in the 'pool'.
Scrooge: "Thank you, Gladstone, for your inspiring message, Now if you'll excuse us, we have an improbably enchanted insect to inspect, to the temple!"
Louie: "Oh, but I want to stay, show me everything, Especially the stuff you're not supposed to"
Gladstone: "I love this kid!, He's like me, but short and with a cheaper haircut, Now, you just gotta help me convince your Uncle Donald"
Louie: "Well, forget it, then, Been nice seeing you, Uncle Gladstone"
Gladstone quickly gets up rushing to stop the group from leaving the building for an unknown reason.
Gladstone: "Wait, wait, wait, wait, D-Squared, you came all the way out here, Let me show you guys around, It'll be good times"
Gladstone and Louie share a knowing look towards Donald with Elliot doing puppy-dog eyes, causing him to think about his decision.
Donald: "Fine, you can stay"
Louie: "I can?"
Donald: "And I'm coming with you"
Elliot: "And I'm staying with you as well"
Scrooge: "Come on, kids, Let them play pai gow with a bunch of biddies, We have a rip-roaring adventure awaiting us"
Kids: "Adventure!"
Soon after the group splits up, Elliot still feels his gut doing flips and loop de loops as he sees his uncles looking back and forth between the two, feeling Louie squeeze his hand.
Louie: "You alright Bro? It looks like you witnessed the greatest fashion disaster on the planet"
Elliot: "I think Uncle Gladstone is telling Uncle Donald about Fenton"
Louie squeezes his hand reassuringly as Donald looks back at him with Elliot walking past him seeing Donald from the corner of his eye walk beside him, bracing himself for the moment ahead of him.
Elliot's Point Of View
I
Was
Fucked
Uncle Donald stopped me as Uncle Gladstone and Louie stepped past us, discussing lucky topics, such as numbers and charms, meant it was time to come clean to him about Fenton..............Shit!
Donald: "So.....how long have you been seeing him?"
Me:..............."A year"
Nodding his head, Uncle Donald hugged me tightly as I breathed a huge sigh of relief, knowing very well his temper isn't through the roof at the moment, wiping away tears that were threatening to fall down my face.
Donald: "Has he been treating you right? Been caring?, Do I have to hurt him!!"
And..........I regret my decision as his parental instincts were taking over him as he kept hugging me VERY tightly, wondering if Fenton could invent a device to protect me from his death-hugs.
As we headed down into the casino, I told Uncle Donald all about Fenton, how he was kind and charming, funny and intelligent and of course showing him all of our photos together.
Me: "This is when Fenton took me on a midnight walk, showing me all the different stars in the sky whilst pouring me some Hot Coco that he especially made for me"
Louie: "Ugh... Stop with the lovey dovey Stuff already!!"
Me: "And this is Fenton working in the Money Bin, look you can see the Money in the background"
Louie stops talking, gazing at the money lovingly as I smirked ,nudging Uncle Donald, making him laugh quietly as we reached the casino, sounds of winning filled the room which may have convinced Uncle Donald only slightly.
We stopped by a tailor, getting our outfits personally designed of course. I browsed through the dresses finding one I personally loved as I tried it on whilst hearing Louie talk to Gladstone.
Louie: "This is the greatest anyone has ever looked''
Gladstone: "Well, Green Bean, if you want to be a winner, you need to look like a winner, And you can bill my suit to the room, please"
Tailor: "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, Mr. Gladstone, I cannot do this, It would be such a great honour for me to know that you are out in the world wearing this suit"
I stepped out, wearing the glamorous dress I found which instantly became my favourite thing to wear at parties.
Gladstone: "Look at you Superstar!, shining better then everyone else"
Louie send me a thumbs up as we stepped out waiting for Uncle Donald who was wearing a tuxedo t-shirt which did suit him but probably caused him at least $3 dollars.
Donald: "Just like the real thing, only cheaper"
I then noticed he had a security tag on his shirt making me look away as Security tackled him to the ground.
Louie: "Oh, man, Uncle Donald's gotta be the unluckiest duck in the world"
Gladstone: "I'm counting on it"
3rd Point Of View
As the family finally find the exit, Gladstone is pulled back by a mystic chain, keeping him from leaving the building.
Gladstone: "Oh, dang, Did I not mention I'm a prisoner here and that's why I called you for help?"
Louie: "What? Why didn't you just tell us?"
Liu Hai: "Because I'd find out, I am Liu Hai, ancient spirit of chance and fortune, now, let's test your luck.
Scrooge: "I sat through The Waters of Aquanadon three times when I could've been fighting a demon?"
Huey: "It's Aquarioon"
Gladstone: "Uh, yeah, you don't wanna mess with Toad, He's a luck vampire, He's held me captive here to feast off my natural good luck, I'm that delicious"
Dewey: "Are you bragging about that?"
Elliot: "To be honest, not a bad thing to brag about"
Gladstone: "I hoped Donald would break my lucky streak. You know, 'cause he's--"
Scrooge: "Bad luck"
Huey: "A total jinx"
Dewey: "The worst"
Elliot slaps Huey and Dewey, glaring at them before paying attention to Liu Hai again.
Liu Hai: "Gladstone's good fortune has been satisfying, but surely, as the richest duck in the world, Scrooge McDuck's luck must be the most delicious feast of all"
Scrooge: "Luck has nothing to do with my success.
Liu Hai: "Oh, really?
Scrooge: "I'll prove it. One game, If I win, you set us free, If you win, we stay... permanently, unless you think the spirit of luck and fortune will lose"
Liu Hai: "Hmm, I can't resist such a challenge"
Gladstone: "Yes! Thank you, Screwdriver McDollarsigns, I knew I could count on you.
The surrounding around the family changes into a mystic course with Liu Hai appearing to them again as Elliot starts taking pictures for the memories.
Liu Hai: "First to the end wins"
Scrooge: "Okay, Toad, let's do this"
Liu Hai: "My house, my rules. Gladstone still belongs to me, So he is my champion, You get-- Hmm, him"
Donald gasps as both he and Gladstone are teleported into the course.
Liu Hai: "The winner goes free, The loser is doomed"
Scrooge: "I don't even get to be part of the blasted challenge?"
The two uncles start running through the course, Gladstone getting lucky on everything while Donald receives bad luck crashing into everything and getting caught on fire.
Dewey Junior appears again, growling towards Donald as he sinks to the ground accepting defeat.
Donald: "Oh, what's the point?"
Elliot: "Come on, Uncle Donald! So you have the worst luck in the world, Who cares?"
Louie: "No matter how bad things get, like really, really bad, you keep going, It's kind of ridiculous, You never had the common sense to give up before, Why start now?"
Donald smiles before unleashing his rage, destroying Dewey Jr as he races up the buffet of many lands with Gladstone picking $20 up from the floor allowing Donald to race through the finish line.
Liu Hai: "Well, at least I still have the luckiest buffet on Earth, Bad fortune, Mr. Gander"
Scrooge: "Actually, Toad, Gladstone lost to Donald so technically, Donald is the new luckiest guy on Earth, It's really him you should take"
Donald: "Yeah! Wait No!"
Liu Hai: "Hmm, a well-reasoned argument, Donald Duck is my prize"
Louie: "That wasn't the deal!"
Liu Hai: "All bets are off"
Liu Hai teleports the family outside, shocking the kids as Louie starts panicking with Elliot running up to the door, repeatedly trying to ram the door.
Louie: "Uncle Donald!, I can't believe you just gave him up"
Gladstone: "The kid's not wrong, Uncle McDuncle, What do we do?"
Elliot: "Okay!, we rush into there with a ton of dynamite and TNT, as much as we can carry!"
Webby: "I like that idea, I have this grenade I've been saving for just an occasion"
Scrooge quickly grabs it off her, placing it in his top hat as he fixes his hat quietly counting down.
Scrooge: "Three, two, one"
Donald is kicked from the building, crashing into Gladstone as a weak Liu Hai emerges, seeing the family look at him.
Liu Hai: "His luck, it's awful!, So awful!"
The House Of Fortune starts to glow, followed by a beam of light as the building disappears leaving nothing in its place.
Louie: "You did it, Uncle Donald! You won!, that was pretty cool, I mean, especially for you"
As the kids start a group hug with him, Donald is still shocked at winning.
Donald: "How the heck did I win?"
Elliot: "My guess, pure luck"
Donald smiles, walking beside Elliot as they start to make their way back to the Cloud-chaser.
Webby: "I guess you're not so lucky after all"
Gladstone: "But if you think about it, we're all free, So, me losing is the luckiest thing that could've happened, Boom! Still the luckiest guy on Earth and a hero, Huh?"
Louie: "Eh, luck's overrated"
Elliot smiles at his brother, proud of his actions as they hop aboard the plane again, saying a quick goodbye to Gladstone as they head off towards the golden cricket.
Only for the family to be bored and start to head back to Duckberg again with Louie leaning on Elliot's arm, fast asleep with Elliot keeping a close eye on him whilst texting his beloved.

Elliot looks up seeing Uncle Donald smiling at him as he talks with his brothers and Webby quietly, not noticing Louie stealthily looking at his phone as Elliot smirks texting his reply.
