Chapter 3: Daytrip of Doom!


On a beautiful morning at McDuck Manor. Scrooge McDuck wakes up from his sleep, puts on his slippers and dressing gown and goes to open the window.

"Aaah, good morning, you gleaming bin of bounty." Scrooge said as he got ready to take on the morning. He stares out the window, looking at his money bin in the distance.

Suddenly, Mrs Beakley enters the room, carrying a tea tray, looking disheveled. "Beakley!?" Scrooge said in surprise.

"I feel like I should prepare you, for what's out there." She stated dryly as she poured his tea into his cup. "How bad can it be?" Scrooge asks with a shrug as he walked out of his room.

As Scrooge opens the door, a bunch of foam darts fly towards him.

He quickly grabs Beakley's tea tray and shields himself from the darts, causing the tea set to fly into the air and for Beakley to catch it.

"An elaborate series of cutthroat war games?" Scrooge answered as he inters the hallway as Joey and Dewey run by shooting darts at each other back and forth taking cover from the others fire.

"Die! Die! Die!" Joey called out almost psychotically complete with a laugh. "Take that!" Dewey yelled as he was shooting the darts back at his brother.

"Dewey! Joey" Scrooge said as he took their guns. while the boys looked at him curiously. " don't yell at your target before you fire, you'll lose the element of surprise." Scrooge said aiming them before tossing them back to Dewey and Joey who catch them.

"Got it Uncle Scrooge." Joey replied while Scrooge tilted his hat a bit at him before walking away.

Louie runs past him and shoots at Dewey while laughing, Joey turns around the corner and shoots at them laughing as well hitting the wall and a vase which Mrs. Beakley dives to catch. Quick save Joey thought.
"Good hand, Beakley!" Louie congratulated her before returning fire.

—————————————————————

Through infrared/night vision, we see Louie running down the hall laughing. A shadowy figure wearing night vision goggles hangs from the chandelier. "Target acquired."

As Louie stops in the middle of the hall, Webby (still in shadow) uses a grapple gun to grapple to the chandelier above. She fires on Louie, prompting him to run and trigger a trap that throws pillows at him, knocking him to the ground.

"You set traps!?" Louie questioned. "It's just a game."

"You're not a player." Webby stated in somewhat intense tone. " you're a pawn."

"Say what now?" Joey piped up not sure what to make of that statement.
"W-Webby, maybe you should take it down a notch." Dewey said.
"SAY THAT TO MY MEN YOU CAPTURED IN PEKIN!!!!" Webby yelled out dramatically scaring and confusing the boys at the same time.

"What?"Joey questioned.

"It's part of my character's backstory; grizzled ex-special forces pulled out of retirement for revenge." She explained while Joey responded with understanding "oh"

"what's yours?" She asked them.
"Ah man!" Joey wined. "Nobody said we were doing characters."
"That's what you want me to think." Webby said suspiciously. " I got my eye on you." This  statement made Joey go pale

"Mine...has a dart gun..." Dewey said.
Webby narrows her eyes and says darkly. " Not anymore."

She shoots Dewey, knocking him down and sending his dart gun flying. Webby then throws her guns away and uses her grapple hook to pull Dewey's gun to her.

Webby then turns her attention to Joey who gulped and begging her in his head for mercy. Huey comes across the scene and Webby fires at the two. They flee to the foyer in panic.

But, Joey gets caught in a net trap which hoisted him up trapping him in. "RUN HUEY! SAVE YOURSELF!!!" He calls out.

Although as Huey runs off "well if it's that easy for you!" Joey huffs.

Huey comes across the scene and Webby fires at him. He flees to the foyer in panic.
"The foyer is a safe zone!" Huey pleaded.

"The foyer is a saf- AH!" before he could finish his sentence Webby had sled down the rails of the stairs and tackled him down.

"This is no foyer..." Webby said pointing her dart gun at Huey. " It's a tomb."

———————————————————————————

Cut to Scrooge walking along the hallway as he faintly heard Huey say "Ow my tailbone!"

Hearing this Scrooge laughed to himself. "Heh- heh tomb."

———————————————————————————

Webby had came back after dispatching Huey to cut Joey free from her net.
"Webby..." Joey said. "Yo would you mind helping a friend out." As he struggled against the net he was in until Webby grabbed a stool and cut him loose.

"Sorry about that." Webby said apologetically. "Guess I got a little carried away with the death darts traps."
"It's okay Webbs." Joey said. "Although it's actually just darts."
Huey, Dewey and Louie catch up to the two " so what do we do now?" Huey questioned.

———————————————————————————

"Sir, this is out of control!" Mrs. Beakley said trying to reason with Scrooge. As he walked over to his washroom door "Kids will be kids. For everyone's happiness, we've all got to make sacrifices."

Of course, all that changes when he opens the door to an unwanted surprise of Donald washing himself in his tub.

"Um, occupaido." Donald responded.
To that Scrooge narrows his eyes and says. " HOUSE MEETING. NOW."

———————————————————————————

"How about a house meeting." Joey quipped.

Donald and the kids are talking with each other. In the background, Scrooge walks up to an object covered with a cloth and smacks it with his cane, silencing everyone. 

"Alright, time for some house rules." Scrooge said, which Joey groaned to not being a big fan of them.

He pulls the cloth off, revealing a blackboard with "HOUSE RULES" written on it.

"Rule 1: My space is my space. My study, my sleeping quarters-" Donald rolls his eyes. "My washroom." Scrooge eyed Donald Joey muttered to himself "what was that about?"

"Rule 2..." Scrooge continued. "Defer to Mrs. Beakley for all subsequent rules. I'm pleased to have you here, as long as it in no way inconveniences me. Good day!" Scrooge makes his exit while Beakley continues the meeting.

Beakley walked up to the board "This may be Mr McDuck's mansion, but it's my house. So..."
She flips the board, revealing a lot more rules. Some of them didn't even look like words.

"My house rules. Exhaustive. Comprehensive." Beakley began her lecture but then stops as she sees Donald her up. Let's just say she was having none of it.  "Where are you going?"

"I've got unmentionables to wash." Donald said.

Beakley sighs "Rule 58: if you need something ask for permission first." Donald was really treading on thin ice here.

"Did you hear that, boys?" Donald said jokingly to the boys. "Ask permission!"

"I know right!" Joey responded back to his uncle only to get an icy scolding glare from Beakley making him backpedal quickly.

"Rule number 23: no one is above the rules." Beakley narrowed her eyes at a specific duck in the room, "Donald. If you had simply asked for assistance we could have avoided what I'm referring to as the "Undergarment Incident."

The kids giggled in response, especially Joey, classic somewhat crude humor is not ideal for a good laugh but will take it.

"I can take care of myself!" Donald shouts at Beakley

"That is not your decision to make. You live here, you answer to me!" Beakley shot back.

"I answer to NO ONE!" Donald shouts in her face.
As the two adults got really close to each other.

"Wait are they going to kiss?" Louie cringed.

"Ew!" Joey, Huey, Dewey, and Webby responded.

"They better not," Joey said. "I would never be able to get that image out of my head."

"Outside, now!" They both shouted.
—————————————————————————
The kids run outside into the backyard and past Donald's houseboat.

"Death darts was fun!" Webby said in excitement, even though the rest didn't feel so much.

"Again, just supposed to be darts." Louie said with a groan.
"Oh, what do you wanna play next?" Said a still excited and eager Webby. " Mystery Murder Island? Cannonball Fury?"

Joey quickly stopped her and says. "As seriously as you took that last game Mystery Murder Island kind of scares me a bit."

"How about a nice safe nap." Huey suggested.

"Ooh! How about Hacky-Sack?" Webby piped up, She punts the sack at them. Dewey dives to push Huey out of the way, it buzzes Louie's head and goes clean through the tree behind them, knocking it down.
Not before smacking Joey in the head making him dizzy while Everyone stares in silence.

"Or... we could have some real fun." Louie suggested with some gleam in his eyes.

"You mean?" Dewey asked.
"I do, dear Dewford." Louie said with full confidence.

"YOU DON'T MEAN!!!???? WHAT I THNK YOU MEAN!??" Joey shouted in their ears making his brothers and Webby wince. "SORRY MY EARS ARE STILL RINGING FROM THE IMPACT OF THAT HACKY SACK!!"

All four brothers called out in excitement . " Funso's Funzone!" Joey much louder than the others for obvious reasons.

"What's that?" Webby asked.

"Only the greatest place one could ever imagine imagining!" Louie answered.

"Where dreams become reality, and reality becomes some kind of crazy hyper-dream!" Huey chimes in.

"Where punch refills are free!" Dewey added.

"FULL OF POOR SUCKER PASSERBY'S!! THAT CAN FALL VICTIM TO PRANSTERS!!!!" Joey shouted making Webby rub the inside of her ear.

All four in unison    "Funso's Fun Zone! Where fun is in the zone!" Webby rubbed the back of her neck. "Oh yeah. That... Funso's. Of course. Hah. Everyone knows Funso's..." then looked down to the ground.

"Let's go boys!" Louie said.

"Oh...well have fun..." Webby mopped.
"You coming?" Dewey asked her.

"YEAH THE MORE THE MARYER!!" Joey shouted.
"Wha? Yeah! Let me get my stuff!" Webby said in surprise.

She climbs McDuck Manor like a spider, disappearing into an open window.

"I don't know. " Louie spoke up. " Webby's great for treasure hunting and minecart-chases, but she's not exactly built for everyday kid stuff."

Huey traumatized. "I still see the darts when I close my eyes."
"OH COME ON GUYS GIVE HER A CHANCE!!" Joey shouted once more. " I DEAL WITH YOU GUYS ON A DAILY BASES! SHE CAN'T BE THAT BAD!" All three of his brothers winced at his yelling." EITHER THAT OR THIS ALL THE GETTING HIT OVER THE HEAD TALKING!!"

"Okay when is this going to wear off?" An annoyed Louie said.

"Guys," Dewey jumped to Webby's defense. "She's been cooped up in the mansion her whole life. Of course she's going to be a little... off... but we can help her! She'll be fine." Meanwhile, Webby is packing her night-vision goggles, grapple hook and a book titled "The Art of War" into her bag as Webby coached her self "Alright, Webby. Just a totally casual hangout in the real world. Like regular kids do. Play it cool. Play it cool."

She screams "Wooooo!" while jumping out of the window - cut to the bus stop, where she's still screaming. Louie has his good over his face while Joey face palmed (and yes the whole ear ringing thing wore off. So he was hear every bit of her screaming)

——————————————————————————-

"You've been on a bus before, right?" Huey asked. "Absolutely. So is it assigned seating or..." it was clear Webby had never been on one and was just trying to be cool in front of them Joey guessed.

The bus stopped in front of the kids while the driver opened up the bus door and as Dewey, Louie and Joey went into the bus.

Huey went over the guidelines with Webby. "Don't talk to anybody. Don't touch anything. Don't lick anything. Don't go near the emergency brake."

Webby saluted as the both went in as her eyes widened. "Hey Lou?" Joey said with a nudge. "How many rules do you think she is going to break on here?"

"Two or three." Joey said.

"Every single one of them." Louie guessed.

"You're on bro." Joey said.

Webby   salutes "I'm Webby." she says to driver "Have you ever jumped a ravine in this baby? Can I try? I'm Webby." looks out the window.

As this was going on Louie held his hand out to Joey he groans and hands him five dollars.

"Look, a dog wearing a bow tie. Did he tie it himself? Stop the bus!"

Webby pulls the signal cord. Driver throws Webby and the boys out of the bus.
"It was a nice bow tie. Sorry." Webby said apologetically.

"It's fine." Huey said.

" it's just a short walk to Funso's..." Dewey said

"...yeah through the sketchiest neighborhood in town.." Joey said gesturing towards the shady areas "let's see what we've got," he pointed to a building "oh look the word Flatulence being graffitied on the side of a building, just lovely."
Then pointed to the other side of the street. "And oh look isn't it just adorable some kids hopscotch on a dead body marked crime scene," and finally a cage of non-anthropomorphic chickens scooted by on a skate board " oh and....cock fights??? Not sure how that's possible...but it's here."

"I bet it's a blast!" Webby said. "To run. Race you!" She ran out of the alleyway.

"Uh, wrong way." Huey said.

"Whoop!" Webby turned around and corrected her mistake as she followed the boys the right way.

Little did they now was that the brutish gang known as The Beagle Boys were nearby robbing an armored truck. The big muscular beagle Bouncer noticed them and spoke. "Hey! Is that the McDuck brats?"
As those words were spoken the leader of the trio Big Time turned to his brothers with an evil gleam in his eyes. "Let's get 'em!"

Burger Beagle shook his head as if to say no. "Burger's right." Bouncer told Big Time. " Ma told us we's supposed to take down the truck." With the two knowing full well what Ma was like when angry. Despite this Big Time felt that this was the day to get his mother's approval and he knew just how to do it as he looked at the running McDuck kids.

"Oh, forger the truck!" Big Time grunted. "That's the payday! Think big!" His name wasn't Big Time for nothing and he always thought big.

Bouncer smiles, before tossing Carl (the guard) into the truck. "Sorry, Carl." Bouncer apologized. " same time next month?" Carl shook his head as the metal doors were shut on him.

Webby, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Joey finally reached Funzo's entrance which was in the form of a walrus's mouth, not just any walrus, the face of the mascot Funso. Webby couldn't help but stare in ah at the pizza/gaming arcade. "Funso's Funzone."

"Where Fun is in the Zone!" They quadruplets sang as they ran inside.

"Pizza?" Webby looked around in excitement "Games? A pit of balls?"

"Wait," Louie stopped her and led her away from the ball pit. " Webbigail, ball pits are for babies." They walk towards a dining area. " Walk with me. You're in the zone now. If you want to get by in this world, you gotta know the people that make it spin. Josie, new token apron?" Louie said to a patron who walked by. "Nice."

The Waitstaff just smiled at the flattery "Your usual table, sir." She said.
Webby begins to dig into her bag for money but is stopped by Louie. "Webby, your money is no good here." He said.
Webby gives him a confused look "What do they take?" She asked as she rummaged through some more. "I have pounds, pesos, rubles..."
"The oldest currency in the world." Louie answered. "No, flattery." He says as a female waitress walks toward him. "I can't tell. Is that the heat lamps, or your natural glow?"

"Oh Mr. Duck, the usual?"
"Yep," Louie said. "one free cup for water please."

Louie fills the cup with fruit punch while the waitstaff isn't looking.
"That's not water." Webby said in panic.
"It's all part of the system." Louie explained. "You try."
After a little encouragement from Louie, Webby walked over to the Waitstaff. " Hey, uh" she looks over and reads the waitresses name tag. " Jaa-nay."

"It's Jane." She said flatly.
"I'm Webby." The girl duck introduced. " I was hoping you could hook a girl up with one of those free water cups, you know, for." She adds in a wink. fruit punch."

"Are you sure you don't want one for water?" Jane asked nervously.
"Yes, for water. Fruity water that really packs a punch." Webby said with an awkward double wink. "am I right?"
"I-I don't know what you mean."

Webby whispers "I mean fruit punch."

As soon as Webby said this the manager comes storming out. "Is there a problem here? What did I tell you about handing out freebies, Jane?" Louie was waving his hands at Webby to get her to stop although Webby miss interpreted with taking him out as she picked up a fork.
The manager said angrily. Before turning his attention to Louie " You paid for that punch, Duck?"

"Yeah, I was just about to, yeah." Louie said calmly. "Thanks, Webby." Louie growled.

———————————————————————————

Joey was perched up on the top of the play area just above the ball pit when he looked down to see Webby was upset. Feeling bad Joey decided to take this time to try and cheer her up. He did need a partner for what he was about to pull after all.

"Yo Webby!" Joey called out to her getting her attention. " wouldn't mind coming up here and giving me a hand would you?" Joey had assumed Webby was up for it as she beamed at him.

"I'll be right up!" Webby called out to him as she leaped up and used the acrobatic skills her granny had taught her to make her way to where the yellow clad duck was. "Wow! That was awesome!" Joey complimented.

"Oh it's nothing," Webby waves it off. " just a little something my granny taught me." Then gave Joey a puzzled look. "So...what exactly are we doing up here anyways?" She asked.
"Glad you asked, Webbs." Joey said with a grin. " you see this bucket of water balloons?" He said as he gestured to a big bucket of a dozen water balloons. "Uh huh." Webby answered.

"Well we are going drop them on people down below." Joey told her which made Webby nervous. "I don't know, doesn't that seem kind of...mean?" She questioned.
"Well..yeah but it's a fun mean." Joey explained, as the yellow clad duck always took pride in his pranking craft. " Like a prank, you know for laughs, and the key to a good laugh is a good old fashion prank." Webby was then starting to give Joey a look of understanding. "You get what I'm saying?"

"Oh okay now I get it." Webby said finally getting into this idea.
"Now let's have some really fun." Joey said as he laced his hands together with a mischievous grin on his face.
The two young ducks then grab two water balloons out of the bucket. "Now wait for my signals and get ready to fire." Joey instructed as Webby responded with a nod.

Joey and Webby has spotted Huey. "To make you feel any better we'll do it on somebody we know." Joey said.
"Ready?" Joey asked.

"Yes target acquired." Webby responded.
"Good!" Joey said.

"Now...ready." Joey said as he and Webby rare back their water balloons. "Aim." They both narrowed their eyes. "Fire!" Joey yelled out as both Joey and Webby threw the water balloon at Huey. He gets hit and gets soaked. The two begin laughing at their success. Joey wiped a tear of laughter from his eye. "Oh...oh...that...that was great!" He said in between laughs.
"Now ready for our next victim?" Joey asked. "You know you can always back out if you want."

"Bring it on!" Webby piped.

"Yeah! Atta girl!" Joey congratulated. "Quick grab another. When the Funzo's mascot comes out we'll hit him next."

———————————————————————————

Meanwhile, Big Time arrived at Funso's Funzone
"Welcome to Funso's." Funso said as he stopped Big Time. "There' no place finer but all cool adults must be accompanied by a minor. Bablebablam!"

Big Time jabbed a thumb behind him as The Beagle Boys had dressed Bouncer in a baby costume.

"You buyin' this?" Bouncer asked.
To that Funso shook his dead 'no' Bouncer than just decided to snap his lollipop in half and attack the mascot. The Beagle Boys took his costume to disguise themselves and get ready for their pay day.

———————————————————————————

Soon after, Joey and Webby spot 'Funso' aka The Beagle Boys in disguise. "There he is Webby Ready. Aim. Fire!" Joey instructed as the two ducklings threw their water balloons at Funso/Beagle Boys and hit them on impact.

"Ah! It's rain' water balloons!" Big Time yelled as the got hit before falling to the ground drenched.

Joey and Webby start laughing once more but a little too much because Webby accidentally knocks the bucket of water balloons over. This causes Joey to stop laugh and then dive in after them right into the ball pit then as all of the water balloons fall on him completely soaking him from head to feet.
Joey groans in defeat.

———————————————————————————

Webby enters arcade and sees Dewey playing a video game.  "Uke or Puke?" She read.

Webby tries to stand the controller on the floor. Dewey corrects her by putting it around her. Webby plays it. The Beagle Boys dressed as Funso try to grab Webby. "Time..."

"Stranger Danger!" Webby yells as she hits him in the stomach with the guitar making him fall over.
"Webby. No." Dewey cried.
"I killed Funso." Webby said with a bit of guilt in her voice.

Dewey    rushes over to Funso assumably to check on him "No, no, don't you die on me!" Only to shove him back down when he gets back up and plugs the cord back in.
The game came back on with a Dame Da Dame Dame. Dewey looked up at the screen as it came back up and saw that all of his scores were cleared off. "My scores! Noooo! It's like I don't even know you anymore." Dewey wines as Webby just walks away in shame as this was not a good of a day as she thought.

——————————————————————————-

Webby belly flops into the ball pit and let out an "Ow."
She soon looks up to see the quadruplets standing before her about to get in the ball pit. "Room for four more." Joey said.

"You're not mad I ruined Funso's?" She asked in surprise.
"Please, Funso's is a place of magic and wonder and light." Louie assured her.
"Think fast!" Dewey called out as he threw a ball at Webby. But then it all went south when Webby was starting to sink into the ball pit. "Wait, what's happening?" Webby begins to panic.

"Don't." Huey assures her as he tries to calm her down. "You're fine."
"Just swim back up!" Joey coached.

"It's a trap. I'm sinking! Ahhh!!" She screams.

Webby fires a grappling hook which pops a balloon, breaks a spotlight, and pulls down a palm tree causing a fire. She's confronted by the manager as she pulls herself out. "Haha, I'm Webby." She says as she holds her hand out.

The manager throws all four of them out of the ball pit. "You are banned from Funso's for life!" He scolded.
"Welp time to add Funso's to the list I've been band from." Joey said nonchalantly.

"No, please," Huey begged. "I've never been kicked out of anything."
"And this is why we shouldn't bring her, thanks Dewey." Louie said bitterly, while Webby looks down sadly.

"Funso. Take them out." The manager instructed.
"With pleasure." Big time said as he revealed himself from the mouth of the mask. He gives a sinister grin and says "Call Ma."
And before any of them could reacted they were grabbed, tied up and thrown into the meat locker.

Someone approaches Funso's and opens the door.
"You can't come in here without a child!" The manager shouted. But got a punch to gut for his troubles making him double over.

"Everybody out!" The mean lady said.
She dunk a man's head into his ice cream, flip the waitresses tray into her face and open the door to find the Beagle Boys standing there.
"This is it, Ma! The big day! The perfect scam! The-" Ma Beagle interrupted Big Time with hit on the head with her purse. "Save it! What's so important that I don't see an armoured car parked out front?" Ma Beagle snarled.

Big Time cracked a grin and said. "May I present our new meal ticket." He makes an improvised drum roll as he opened the door. "Scrooge McDuck's family!"

Ma Beagle opens the door to see Huey, Dewey, Louie, Joey and Webby tied up inside the locker. They scream and shout Joey cried out to her "oh thank god can you please get us out of.... " Ma shuts the door.

Ma    Beagle sighs. "And how did you manage this?"

"Well, " Big Time began to explain. "we cornered 'em, we captured 'em, and we sent Scrooge a ransom note." He said proudly but Ma Beagle on the other hand didn't look pleased. " You did what?"

———————————————————————————
Donald gets hit with a ransom note tied to a brick.

———————————————————————————

Ma Beagle rubs her temples with a sigh. "How could someone so brilliant raise such morons?"

Bouncer looks to Burger and says. "I think she's talking about you."
Big Time then tried to plead his case to Ma Beagle
"But, but Scrooge will pay a fortune to get those ankle biters back." He said.

Ma Beagle hits Big Time with her purse. "You think he got to be the richest duck in Duckberg by paying people off?" She scolded angrily. "You just painted five twerp-sized targets on our backs. Bouncer, Burger, go outside." Ma ordered.

"What about me, Ma?" Big Time asked.

Big Time gets thrown in the meat locker with the kids. " You're on a timeout, mister."

"Who are these Guys?" Huey asked.

"The Beagle Boys. They hate your uncle, try to break in to the mansion all the time." Webby explained.

"Seriously?" Joey said with a groan. "How many enemies does Uncle Scrooge have?"

"Are they going to ransom us?" A terrified Dewey asked.

"Scrooge will never pay for all five of us." Louie wined.
"You're right." Webby said in agreement. "He'll probably throw one of us off a cliff to send Scrooge a message."
This made all four of the boys scream. "That didn't help at all!" Joey cried out.

———————————————————————————

Donald wakes up and notices the ransom note.

Donald groans in pain as he reads the note and runs to the bathroom "Scrooge! The kids! The Beagle Boys!" He squawks out as he pounds on the door.
But couldn't hear it do to the bag pipe music playing.
Scrooge pauses for a bit and sat up from the tub. "Wait something's wrong.." Scrooge then replaces cucumbers and bath water with gold coins. "Much better."

Donald then runs into the kitchen "Ms. B! A note!"
Beakley looks to him confidently. "Look who's back to finally coming to ask me..."

Donald screams and shoves the ransom note to Beakley.

Beakley     reads the note. "What is a Funso?" She said in confusion.

———————————————————————————

""Don't capture Scrooge's brats, Big Time." Big Time ranted. "Don't stick up the Policeman's Ball, Big Time. Tanks don't float, Big Time."
"What? Tanks don't float who could've guessed?" Joey quipped. Only to get glared at by Big Time.
"She always treats me like the odd man out because my ideas are too..."

"...intense." Webby suggested.

"Stupid?" Joey suggested.

"Visionary." Big Time said.

"Meh." Joey remarked. "Not the term I would use but okay."
"Shut Up!" Big Time growled. "Well I'll show her. I'll show 'me all."

"Well that's not something you want to hear when you're tied up in a meat locker." Louie quipped.

"Ha! You said it bro." Joey agreed.
"Starting with you!" Big Time snarled as he charged for both Louie and Joey until Webby hits Big Time in the head with a frozen pizza.

"Webby?!" The boys said in unison.

"Oops," webby said apologetically. "sorry, I'll just..." she begins to try and tie herself back up.
"Wait?" Joey stopped her. "You mean to tell me that you could've gotten out of those this whole time?"

"Well, yeah." Webby scoffed. "That's like being captured: 101."
"So why didn't you?" Louie asked.

Webby    said to them. "Because, I didn't want you to think I'm weird. I've been stuck in the mansion for so long, I'm trying really hard to be normal, but everything I do is, you know, not." She looked down at the ground sadly.

Dewey    looked over and said. "Normal's overrated."

"Yeah to heck with normal!" Joey said. " guess what nobody is and that's a good thing because if everyone was the same the world would be just plain boring."

Webby smiles at them.

"We need you to be "Webby" normal." Louie told her.
Huey and Dewey nod in agreement. Webby drops her rope, unties the boys, and dons a pair of night-vision goggles. "I'm going to break every bone in her body," Webby said dramatically cracking her knuckles. "or maybe just tie her up. Let's see how it plays out."

Webby uses a sausage as a boomerang to open an air grate. The five climb in it.

———————————————————————————

Meanwhile, Ma Beagle and her two other sons were out front as Ma marched back and forth in front of Bouncer and Burger. "Alright, boys." She rallied. " McDuck's highfalutin hooligan Beakley is coming here to take you down. Are you going to let her?" She challenged

"Hmm." Burger grumbled, but could tell he wasn't to sure about it, while Bouncer looked nervous.
"No, you are not. Beakley may be strong, ruthless, and unforgiving," Ma Beagle coached. " but you are the Beagle Boys, my boys. It's time to mark your territory."

Both Bouncer and Burger looked at each other weirdly.
"Do it for your dear old ma." Ma Beagle said with somewhat affectionate face.

A different ransom note is chucked out the door.
Ma Beagle reads the note "Dear Ma Beagle, if you ever want to see your son again," she stops reading. "rolls eyes oh for crying out loud."

Mrs. Beakley and Donald drive up.
Ma Beagle walks towards the door not before looking over to her two boys. "You take care of them." Ma Beagle told them, "I'll handle the squirts." She says darkly as she enters The Funzone, while Bouncer and Burger pop their knuckles ready to fight.

Mrs. Beakley begins to strategize with Donald. "Beagle boys are quite large, I'll take the big one and-- " "Wak! Give me back my boys!!!" Donald goes berserk and beats up both Burger and Bouncer.

"I guess he can take care of himself." An impressed Beakley said as she herself charges at The Beagles.

The interior is cloaked in darkness. Ma Beagle sees Webby scurrying around. "Funso's Funzone..." she sang eerily.
"Where fun is in the zone." Joey joined in.

"C'mon kid's" Ma Beagle said menacingly. "I don't have time to play games."

"Then you're in the wrong place." Webby said before continuing her singing. "Funso's Fun Zone: where fun is in the zone."
"You can't outrun me." Ma Beagle growled. "You know how many two foot terrors I chased around the junkyard?" Ma Beagle continues to search for them, even passing by the traumatized kid that got sunk into the ball pit earlier.

"But I'm not outrunning you." Webby said before going down the slide. "Whee. I'm leading you."
Webby leads Ma Beagle to the ball pit. Big Time is suspended over it.

"Hi, Ma." Big Time said sheepishly.
"Seriously, Big Time?" She said scoldingly. "What the," she soon noticed that she was begging to sink "stupid plastic garbage. Wait, no stop! It's a trap!"

"Joey! Aim! Fire!" Webby yelled.
To which Joey gives a mischievous smirk as he picked up a water balloon and threw it at the spring trap Webby had set up while the other three boys pulled the ropes afterwards which hoisted Ma Beagle up in a net.

Donald and Ms. Beakley enter and turn on the lights.
"Boys!" Donald called out as he ran over and hugged them.
"A slip stitch. Good choice, dear." Beakley complemented.
"Thanks Granny."

"It's okay, Ma." Big Time said trying to salvage the situation. "I tried and that's what matters."
Ma Beagle on the other hand simply said with a glare. "Shut up, Big Time."

"Why can't we have what they have?" Big Time cried out.

Back at the mansion, Ms. Beakley opens the fuse box.
" Now, flip the circuit on the boat's circuit and you'll have power." Beakley instructed.

"Thanks, Mrs. B. Hey, how does a housekeeper know so much about electricity and tae kwan do?" Donald asked.
"Oh, simple. I'm a spy." Beakley said in the most nonchalant way possible.
Both laugh uncomfortably.

"Nice of Funso's to lift the ban and give us all those free tokens," Huey said. "you know, to keep us from suing them."
Joey then pulls out a long piece of paper from his beanie. "Time to cross Funso's off the list." He says as he cross it of a list called "places-I-can't-go-to-anymore-list."

"Yep, the system works." Louie said matter of factly.
"So, what should we do next?" Dewey asked.

"I don't know." Huey said then turns to Webby and asks "Webby, what do you want to play?"

"Really? You mean it?" Webby said in surprise.

"Yeah you did just save our butts." Joey said. "You've earned it."
"Yeah, Any crazy thing you want." Louie said.
She then pulls out a demon mask and a mace she somehow had at the time. "Oh, how 'bout a nice game of Medieval Dungeon of Eternal Screaming!"

"I'm on Webby's Team!!" All four yelled.
