(Sorry this took so long. Stick around to the end of the chapter for some news)

Charlotte was lying on her bed, her back facing the door. Ever since their visit to Ithaquack, she's remained in her bed. The nightmares that would come every once in a while would now come every night. It was absolutely destroying her.

She quickly wiped her tears away when her door opened. "Hey, Charlotte..." Dewey greeted as he poked his head through the door. She raised her hand and waved at him without looking at him. "So, I don't know what happened, but I want to help you feel better. Launchpad invited me over to his place for a special occasion. Do you... want to come with?" Dewey asked. Charlotte thought for a second. She slowly turned to Dewey and nodded her head. "Great! Come on! Let's go!"

At Launchpad's place, Launchpad was picking out his clothes while Dewey and Charlotte were watching an old TV show. The tv show was called 'Darkwing Duck'. Launchpad held up two shirts, each one with a different stain. "Big day, Dewey, Charlotte. Mustard stain or ketchup stain?" Launchpad asked. Charlotte held up one finger, indicating the first option. "Mustard, looks less like blood. What is this weird show?" Dewey asked.

"Whoa, what? 'Darkwing Duck'? The greatest TV show of all time?" Launchpad asked as he went behind a curtain to change. "Ha! Maybe when you were a kid. This hero guy doesn't fly or shoot lasers or anything." Dewey said. "That hero guy is Jim Starling. He was an old-school actor who did all his own stunts. Sure, he got a little banged up in later seasons." He points to the TV as Darkwing Duck tripped and hit the camera, telling the crew to keep rolling. "But that just made him even more heroic." Launchpad said. "Why didn't he just use CGI?" Dewey asked as he took a sip from his cup. Launchpad chuckled. "Real heroes don't need high-tech special effects or basic safety precautions." Launchpad said. Dewey sighed. "What do you think, Charlotte?" Dewey asked. She picked up a nearby pen and paper and started writing on it. 'It's okay.'

Launchpad emerged from behind the curtain in a new outfit. "So, how do I look?" Launchpad asked. Both Dewey and Charlotte gave him a thumbs up. They all entered the limo, with Dewey and Launchpad in the front and Charlotte in the back. They all put on their seatbelts. "Remember Dewey, Charlotte, a true hero thinks with his gut or not at all. Right, DW?" Launchpad pushed down the head of a Darkwing Duck bobble head, the catchphrase 'Let's get dangerous' coming from the bobble head. "What's the special occasion, anyway?" Dewey asked. "I finally got my driver's license!" Launchpad answered. Wait, what!? "Uh, wait, what?" Dewey asked. It was too late as Launchpad reversed the limo through the garage door at top speed as Dewey screamed.

The limo was sent flying through the streets as Dewey continued to scream while Charlotte was clutching into her seatbelt. "How have you been a driver without a driver's license?" Dewey asked. My thoughts exactly! "Hey, come on. I've got a pilot's license, don't I? Wait... don't I?" Charlotte slapped her forehead. "Aren't you worried Scrooge will find out?" Dewey asked. "You kidding? I had them mail the license straight to him, so he'd be first to know." Launchpad sniffed as he wiped his tears. "He's gonna be so proud of me."

They continued on their way to the Money Bin and miraculously parked without them getting into a crash, even with Dewey telling Launchpad to slow down. Dewey was panting from fear as Charlotte was still clutching onto her seatbelt. "I bet Mr. McD's got some kind of party planned for mr big day. Wouldn't want to ruin the..."

"Surprise!"

Launchpad yelled out to Scrooge's office, but no one was there. Launchpad busted through the doors to the meeting room. "Surprise! He yelled, but no one was there either. Launchpad opened a closet door. "Supplies?" Where is everyone? They entered the elevator after some exploring. "Boy, he's really getting my hopes up. The payoff's gonna be amazing." Launchpad said. Dewey and Charlotte looked at each other worriedly.

The doors opened to an underwater lab. "Surprise!" Scrooge and Gyro shushed him, standing in front of a tiny train model. "Quiet! The Gearloose Monophonicrail converts aural input into kinetic propulsion." What? "Huh?" Both Dewey and Launchpad asked. "Sound-powered train." Scrooge summarized. "Buh." Dewey and Launchpad answered. "Sorry, Mr. McD, but I thought you might want to hear-." Gyro put his finger to his mouth to shush him. "I don't want to hear anything. This sensitive prototype runs on noise. Observe." Gyro hummed near the little train, causing the little train to move around. Scrooge smiled at the result until there was bang, causing Charlotte to jump a bit.

"Illumination, Dr. Gearloose!" Gyro's intern, Fenton, shouted from across the room, carrying a pile of papers. "Alphanumerical substitution! The categorical reorganization of letters to prime digits." As he continued to talk loudly, the train was going faster and faster until it was sent flying. The tiny train hit the window, causing a small part of the window to crack open and let some water flow in. "Ah! My blueprints!" Gyro yelled. He ran over and pressed a button, bringing down metal sheet to block the window. Gyro picked up his blueprints and began to dry them. Fenton ran over with a mop and bucket. "Sorry, Dr. Gearloose!" Fenton apologized. "Intern, try to think!" Gyro said. "But that's all I do all the time." Fenton whispered. "Well, do it better." Gyro said.

"Eh, you probably couldn't fit a driver in that tiny train anyway. Say, speaking of drivers-." Scrooge ran to Gyro, interrupting Launchpad. "Gyro, the board needs results. Ever since Bulb Tech backfired, you need an invention that, well..."
"Won't turn evil and kill us all." Dewey finished. Charlotte nodded her head in agreement. "Due respect, sir, innovation doesn't work that way. I can't just wake up one morning and say-."

"How about a self-driving robot car?" Dewey asked. "A what, now?" Launchpad asked. "Wah. Too many variables. A self-driving robot car would turn evil like that. Nobody could." Gyro said. "Well, Mark Beaks did. He just posted that he's having a demo later today." Dewey said, showing Gyro the news on his phone. "What!?" Gyro picked up Dewey's phone. "That hack couldn't even program a microwave! We'll see about this." Gyro said as he, Scrooge, Dewey, and Charlotte headed for the elevator. "Okay, cool. I'll just tell you my big news later." Launchpad said sadly. "Launchpad, I almost forgot." Launchpad's eyes lit up. "Yeah?" He asked hopefully. "Stop having mail delivered to my office. That's for incoming checks and death threats only." Scrooge said as he tossed a piece of mail to Launchpad's feet, landing in the water. Launchpad picked it up and opened it to see his driver's license.

Scrooge kneeled down to Charlotte. "Are you feeling alright, Charlotte?" He asked her. Charlotte turned to Scrooge and nodded her head. He was relieved, to say the least. He had been worried about her ever since the attack in Ithaquack, so to know that she was getting better was a breath of fresh air for Scrooge. "Wait, what does 'Smiley face, anvil, roadkill' mean?" Gyro asked.

"Crushed it!"

The crowd cheered as Beaks was on the stage, tasing his fists up. Scrooge and the others arrived just in time. "It's a hectic world posting things online, checking to see who liked your post. Couldn't you use a little time for yourself? Couldn't you use a B.U.D.D.Y.?" A robot rose from below the stage, the crowd cheering. "That's the 'Beaks Unmanned Driver Drone Yay'! B.U.D.D.Y. will drive you anywhere quickly, efficiently, and cheaply." Scrooge smiled at the word 'cheaply'. B.U.D.D.Y. hopped into a Waddle car and gave a thumbs up. "B.U.D.D.Y. is compatible with any vehicle, making traditional drivers a thing of the past. The new Waddle B.U.D.D.Y. System, because machines are the new man. And hold for applause!" Everyone clapped and cheered, except for Scrooge and the others. I don't trust this one bit.

"Boo! Bad! Do not like!" Launchpad shouted. "Agreed. Very negative feelings indeed." Gyro chimed in. "Woah, Scrooge's driver and his chief inventor are threatened by my B.U.D.D.Y. here." B.U.D.D.Y. have a thumbs up as an emoji appeared on its screen. "Well, that is how you know it's a good product. Haha." The crowd were talking among themselves about what Beaks said. Gyro stepped forward. "Uh, how can you ensure that this machine won't turn evil? Huh. I've never said that out loud." Gyro said. "Top secret Beaks Tech means this baby's one hundred percent obedient to its master. Next question, please."

Launchpad stepped forward. "Oh, yeah? Can you program a robot to brave the unknown and laugh at danger?" Launchpad asked. "Yes." Beaks simply answered. Launchpad climbed onto the stage. "Can a robot greet you with a kind word at the end of a long day?" Launchpad asked. "Yes." B.U.D.D.Y. turned to Beaks. "That's a nice grey cardigan, Mr. Beaks. You are killing it today." B.U.D.D.Y. said. "Huh. Yeah, well, can a robot pull you from the wreckage of a crash with a reassuring smile that tells you everything's gonna be okay?" Launchpad asked. "Well, no, because it can't crash." Beaks answered.

"Wait, what, now? I'm sorry, what was that?"

"B.U.D.D.Y., show him." The car door closed as B.U.D.D.Y. began to drive through a test course. "B.U.D.D.Y.'s patented sensors means a smooth, crash-free ride. No matter the situation, you can count on B.U.D.D.Y. to get you where you're going safely." Beaks explained. As he was explaining, B.U.D.D.Y. was dodging all sorts of hazards and made it back to the safely. "Any more questions?" Beaks asked.

Scrooge and the others made it on stage as Scrooge ran over to B.U.D.D.Y., examining it. "This automated marvel could save McDuck Enterprises a fortune!" Scrooge exclaimed. Mr. McDuck! You can't be serious! "You're not seriously gonna buy one of these things. I mean, not when you have plenty of good driver slash pilots already." Dewey said. Thank you for agreeing with me, Dewey. "I may buy a whole fleet! Unless anyone has any brighter ideas." Everyone remained quiet until Launchpad broke the silence.

"A race."

Everyone gasped. "What are you doing?" Dewey asked. "Thinking with my gut." Launchpad answered. "Me versus the bot. Winner gets free candy for life." What? Dewey silently sighed and whispered something in Launchpad's ear. "Oh, that's better. Winner is named the ultimate driver." That's more like it. "A race would give me a chance to see how B.U.D.D.Y. performs in a real-life scenario." Scrooge said. "Ooh! Dramatic! In! In! In!" Beaks excitedly said. "May the best man-." B.U.D.D.Y. grabbed Launchpad's hand for a handshake, but his grip was too tight. "Oh, ow, robot hand! Very strong robot hand!" I definitely need to catch up on some sleep for this.

The next day, everyone arrived at a race course in the middle of nowhere, Launchpad and B.U.D.D.Y. lines up at the finish line. Fenton was inside of the limo giving Launchpad some tips while everyone else was sitting on some bleachers. I hope Launchpad wins this race. "Welcome to the Waddle test track! Time for the ultimate contest between man and machine. First around the block wins." Beaks said. Why is this test track in the middle of nowhere? Please tell me why. Charlotte saw Scrooge talking to Launchpad, but couldn't hear what he was saying before taking a seat next to Charlotte. Oh, Mr. McDuck. Why?

Dewey walking up to the window and gave Launchpad a few words of encouragement before taking his seat. Fenton was the last to walk up to the window and said something to Launchpad. Charlotte couldn't catch all of what he said, but the last thing she heard him say was, "Don't crash." Oh no. "Racers to your marks! Get set..." Beaks made some laser noises while pointing finger guns to the air. Both Launchpad and B.U.D.D.Y. stared at Beaks in confusion. "That means go!"

B.U.D.D.Y. was the first to drive off at top speeds, slowing down at a speed bump before taking off at high speeds again. With Launchpad, he was driving so slowly, about ten miles per hour. What is he doing!? The limo then started to swerve left as Launchpad wasn't on the wheel, trying to pick up some sticky notes that had some tips on how to win. "Don't crash. Don't crash!" However, the limo crashed against a lamp post.

Launchpad got out of the limo and hopped onto a motorcycle that happened to be on the track, but that didn't last long as he crashed into a fire hydrant and was sent flying. Launchpad did the next best thing and rode on a bicycle that was on the track as well, but the bike was damaged as water was splashed on him by B.U.D.D.Y. driving by. Launchpad found a pair of roller skates and used it to hang onto B.U.D.D.Y.'s car. Launchpad repositioned himself at the front of the car and pushed himself off from it as a roller skate came off, making Launchpad be farther ahead. Come on, Launchpad. Just as he was about to cross the finish line, all four wheels popped off his remaining roller skate and B.U.D.D.Y. past him, making B.U.D.D.Y. the winner.

"Ha-ha! Yes! Did it! Take that, everyone who's not me!" Beaks celebrated. Charlotte glared at him. Stop bragging. You weren't the one who was racing. Beaks took some selfies with B.U.D.D.Y. as Scrooge walked up to them. "Impressive display, Beaks. You have really built something here." Scrooge said. "Or did he!?" Gyro revealed himself from his hiding spot, which was a cardboard version of himself. "I couldn't be sure until I saw how it performed under pressure.  The precision, the deadly grace. Oh, yes, I've seen it before. A-ha!" Gyro pulled B.U.D.D.Y.'s screen off from its shoulders to reveal Little Bulb. "Beaks Tech is actually Bulb Tech! That's how he beat me to the punch. He stole my technology! Officer, arrest this man!" A cardboard of an officer fell over to the floor.

Ha! So he's not an inventor at all! He's just some cheapskate! "Is this true?" Scrooge asked Beaks. "Of course not. I didn't steal it from him. I stole it from a public online forum, then 'Beaks'd' it up." So he stole either way. "How would one of my inventions... end up online." Gyro gasped as he realized what happened and glared at Fenton, who was marveling over Little Bulb. "You!" Gyro said threateningly. "You circumvented the kill switch. Why didn't anyone else on the message board figure tag out?" Oh boy. "You posted my top-secret plans on the internet!?" Gyro asked angrily. "You were having so much trouble keeping your inventions from turning evil, so I turned to the Net to crowdsource a solution?" Gyro growled and was about to leap to Fenton, but Scrooge and Dewey held him back, resulting to Fenton being fired.

"Uh, back to town, Mr. McD?" Launchpad asked, opening the door of the damaged limo. "That's alright, Launchpad. We'll ride with Beaks and B.U.D.D.Y. to sign the sales paperwork. Come on, Charlotte, Dewey." Charlotte tugged on Scrooge's sleeve, catching his attention. She shook her head and pointed at Launchpad, who was sitting on the limo sadly. "Do you want to go with Launchpad?" Scrooge asked. Charlotte nodded her head. Scrooge sighed. "Alright, lass. We'll see you back at the mansion." Scrooge said as he and everyone else entered the car and drove off. The only ones left being were Charlotte, Launchpad, and Fenton.

Charlotte made her way to Launchpad and sat next to him. "Thanks for sticking around, Charlotte." Launchpad said. Charlotte nodded her head. Fenton then approached them. "Room for one more?" He asked. Charlotte nodded as Fenton sat down next to them. Fenton and Launchpad sighed together in defeat. "I have so many ideas, but I try too hard hoping at least one of them will stand out. Just vomiting them out at random, like, 'Blah. Solve world hunger. Blah. Infrared toothbrush.' I just wanna help people, you know? Make them better." Fenton ranted. "Why? Even if you try to be better, there's always someone better than you. Maybe with built in Wi-Fi. You'll just be ignored. Best to stop trying." Launchpad...

Charlotte grabbed Fenton's clipboard and wrote something down on one of Fenton's papers. 'I know the feeling.' "You do?" Fenton asked. Charlotte nodded her head as she looked down. I know the feeling all too well. Launchpad took out his driver's license and stared down at it. "Man, is there anyone have a worse day than us?" Launchpad asked. Charlotte shrugged.

A horn honked as the car drove past them at high speeds, catching the attention of Charlotte and Fenton. "Yes, you've replaced me with a cool robot car. I get it." Launchpad said angrily. Both Charlotte and Fenton looked inside the car just as it drove past them to see everyone held down to their seats with numerous seatbelts, with Dewey honking the horn for help. Mr. McDuck! Dewey! Dr. Gearloose! "B.U.D.D.Y.'s gone glitchy. They're in trouble!" Fenton exclaimed. This caught Launchpad's attention. "What?" He asked as he turned to see the car driving off.

Launchpad and Charlotte entered the limo, putting on their seatbelts. "I may not be Mr. McD's driver for much longer, but he can still count on me to get him where he's going. We'll keep him busy. You figure out a way to get them out of that car." Launchpad said. "I think I got something for that. You try corralling them into a ravine, or-."
"I'll probably just crash into it." Launchpad said as he started the engine. "Isn't that really, really unsafe?" Fenton asked. "Tried playing it safe, old friend, didn't work." Launchpad took out his Darkwing Duck bobble head. "Let's get dangerous." Launchpad said as they drove off after the car.

They chased after the car, having B.U.D.D.Y. almost knocked them off into a deep ravine underneath them. Launchpad managed to keep them from falling and drove next to the car. "Launchpad! Charlotte!" Dewey calles out from inside the car. Dewey used Scrooge's cane to open the window. "Give me your hand!" Launchpad shouted as he and Dewey reached out for each other. They managed to grab each other's hands after some time, but a bump caused Dewey to let go and was sent flying of the car. Dewey! "Dewey!" Launchpad shouted.

Before Dewey could land on the ground, a giant cyborg caught Dewey. "Gotcha!" The cyborg said as he safely put Dewey in the limo and buckled in his seatbelt for him. The cyborg made his way to the car and ripped open the doors. "Hold on, I'll get you out of here. Somehow." The cyborg said. "Oh, good, another robot." Scrooge said. The cyborg was calculating his options before some blades came out of his shoulders. "I suggest you hold very, very still." He said as the blades cut through the seatbelts, setting them all free. The cyborg grabbed them all before zooming off, shooting oil out to send the car spinning. Launchpad, Dewey, and Charlotte almost drove into the oil when they managed to take another route to higher ground. The cyborg set all three people down once it was safe. "Who the blazes are you?" Scrooge asked. "Call me-." The car ran into the cyborg, sending him off as the car kept driving. "Gizmoduck!" He finished.

Gizmoduck was stuck to the front of the car, unable to move. The suit tried different things to help stop the car, but nothing was working as they were inching closer to a cliff. The car stopped as Gizmoduck was sent flying forwards, getting tangled up in a parachute and a grappling hook. Launchpad somehow managed to get the limo to flip from above fo down below, catching Gizmoduck into the limo. His helmet fell of to travel Fenton. "You were a robot this whole time, huh? Neat." Launchpad said. "I'm not a-."
"Warning, incoming threat." They looked to the side to see the car driving towards them at high speeds. "Move!" Fenton shouted as Charlotte began to free him from the parachute and grappling hook.

Launchpad drove forward, crashing into a wall. He then reversed out of the way and began to drive backwards as B.U.D.D.Y. began to chase them. The crash caused a crack to travel upwards and sent a boulder forward, creating a domino effect with bigger boulders. Launchpad flipped the limo around and began to drive forwards again just as the last boulder crashed down behind them. B.U.D.D.Y. was sent flying forwards and landed in front of them, blocking the way as the path behind them began to crumble. Oh geez. Now what? "Looks like the only way to survive, is to crash." Launchpad said. "Too dangerous! Too dangerous!" Dewey shouted. Launchpad increased his top speed as he crashed into the car, sending the car tumbling down the ravine just as the path had completely collapsed.

"Take that you bucket of bolts. Oh, I'm sorry, is that offensive, or-." Launchpad said. "I'm not a-." Fenton couldn't finish his sentence when the floor below them began to crack. It crumbled underneath a wheel and the limo was sent flying down, until Gizmoduck caught the limo in time and flew them up to safety as he was laughing in joy. "Aww, looks like somebody's first crash." Launchpad said.

As they were driving to the bin, Charlotte couldn't help but fall asleep in the limo. It's been such a long day.

Hey there. So, as most of you know, they announced that Ducktales won't be having a fourth season and that they are ending the show on season three.

I was pretty sad to hear the news as well as everyone else, but what made me feel a bit better was that one of the people who's working in the show said that they treat every season as if it's their last and they were kinda prepared for season three to be their last. That means the season finale will be satisfying, at the very least. Besides, three seasons is a good way to end. Gravity Falls only ended in two seasons, after all. The same thing applies to Sonic Boom, who also ended on two seasons.

What I'm saying is don't be too bummed out about it and end it off on a high note. Aside from that, get the tissues ready for the season finale. See you in the next chapter.
