Synopsis: What if Huey, Dewey and Louie never met Scrooge? What if they did as they were told and never tried to steal the houseboat?
____________________________________
After Donald left Huey was a little lost in thought. His wished Donald would just trust them more, understand that Huey was completely capable of keeping their home in perfect organization and away from harm, it's not like he's never done it before.
"This is perfect!"Dewey shouted interrupting Huey's thoughts.
"Uncle Donald? Leaving this Thursday for a couple hours? We can just go to cape suzette ourselves!"
They were silent despite Dewey's excitement.
"What? What's wrong?"Dewey asked.
Louie shrugged, "Cape suzette? By ourselves?"
Huey agreed, "Uncle Donald asked us to stay here"he explained, "If we keep pulling stunts like this, he'll never trust us to be home alone."
Louie nodded, "We'll be eighteen with a babysitter".
"But if we do nothing we'll be forced to stay here in Duckburg forever. Is that what you want?"Dewey asked, specifically Huey.
Huey thought about it for a second as Dewey looked at him anxiously. "It would be nice to get out of Duckburg"He admitted.
Huey definitely wanted to leave, wanted to explore the world and finally do something amazing but- "As amazing as that sounds we can't."
"Come on! What will it take to convince you?"Dewey asked.
"If we could get ahold of Uncle Donald's phone we can text the babysitter a new address..."Louie smirked slyly, "And I know exactly where to send her".
"Louie who's side are you on?"Huey asked.
"I'm not on anyone's side"He explained, "I just like schemes"He shrugged nervously.
"Guys...we can't disappoint Uncle Donald again. Don't you understand that we're the reason he doesn't have a job?"
"He doesn't have a job because he's too qualified for simple ones and he's too scared to take a risk"Dewey said.
"He won't take a risk unless he has to because of us and our safety"Huey said.
Louie and Dewey frowned, "I guess you're right"Dewey said, he slumped down on the couch and pouted, "I'm gonna have to admit to Valerie and Derek that I lied to them to make my sad pathetic life sound exciting".
Huey placed a gentle hand on Dewey's shoulder, "If they're your real friends, they'll understand."
"They're not my friends, just people I wanted to impress and sadly never will."
"I'm sorry Dewey"Huey said, "We can't afford to take this risk."
"So we're never leaving Duckburg, we're never going to do something amazing or heroic, we'll never become known for anything. We'll live, we'll die and we'll be grateful".
"I mean- that's how it normally works"Louie said.
"Guys come on, we can do all sorts of cool things this summer".
Louie sighed, "Yeah, maybe we'll go to funzos for the eight millionth time this year".
"You like funzos"Huey argued.
"Boys dinner!"Donald called.
"I also like pizza but I get sick of it after a while"He said referring to the fact that they were eating cold pizza again for the forth night in a row.
Huey sighed as Louie walked away, he knew he disappointed his brothers today but unfortunately this was the right thing to do.
Nothing bad will happen if you just do what you're told right?
