#LOUIE'S POV:

It was a few hours after the 'incident' and I was slowly but surely beginning to realise I that I should definitely go apologise to Uncle Scrooge, my mom was asleep on the floor since she thought I fell asleep too, but truth being I was just sitting awake, I had lots of things to think about, I mean I just told my mom that I would never again want to go on an adventure, that's all I've known how to do from my time being here at the manor, alas I already done the damage, so I just need to wait until I tell the rest of my family that I'm not reliable for adventures, I can tell Dewey won't like it- he loves adventuring, infact he loves anything daring. I stood up then the sound of the floorboards creek woke up my mom.
"Oh- hey Louie." She said, whilst yawning, then she stood up rubbing her eyes.
"Hey mom."
"You ready to go downstairs?" She asked.
"Yeah— I guess I do owe Uncle Scrooge Ann apology, and besides, I need to tell him that from now I won't be joining them on adventures." I nodded.
"Alright, let's go." Della smiles, then opened the door.

I slowly felt more awkward and awkward whilst walking down stairs, I mean I kind made a scene the last time I was down here, when I reached the bottom of the stairs, I heard everyone's conversation stop, as they all looked at me, if it felt awkward before it definitely felt more so now, but before I could take another step I heard a voice shout my name!
"Louie!" Huey shouted and wrapped his arms around me. "Louie I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have blamed you for it." He said, as his grip around me became even tighter and tighter.
"Okay okay- Huey I forgive you but you're currently squeezing the soul out of my body."
I said, saying it all in one breath.
"Oh right, sorry little bro." He chuckles then messed my hair. Everyone knows I hate when people mess my hair, but I didn't want to act like a jerk again so I just fixed it and said nothing.

I could see a shadow over me when I looked at the floor, I then gulped and looked up seeing Uncle Scrooge. "Uncle Scrooge."
I chuckled nervously, "I- uH- I'm sorry for calling you dim, it wasn't fair."
I nodded. He then didn't answer and walked away, I looked at my mom confused on what I was supposed to do at that time, I could tell she was annoyed at him for just ignoring me, but I guess he just needs time.
"Uh- Louie needs to talk to you..."
Della said, then narrowed her eyelids, looking at Scrooge, "All of you." Uncle Scrooge then turned around then rolled his eyes, walking to the sofa and sitting down on it. Everyone else followed him, thankfully they didn't look like they were gonna kill me like Uncle Scrooge did. They all sat quietly waiting on me to say something. "So uhhhmm- errhmmm."
I cleared my throat "I— well..."
"Split it out lad!" Scrooge said annoyed, then I gulped and looked down. "I uh, I've decided I'm no longer going to be joining you guys on adventures..." I paused, waiting on a response, but there nothing, I sighed then looked at them all, I'm sorry." Huey, Webby, and Dewey all stood up and hugged me. "It's okay" Webby smiled, "Webby is right, if you don't comfortable doing them then you shouldn't have too." Huey spoke, then Dewey nodded.
"Yep, Thats up to you little bro." Dewey chuckled. "Thanks guys." I said, finally easing into the hug, but when I finally felt comfortable all I heard was a "No." I could tell that it was Uncle Scrooge's voice, everyone saw Uncle Scrooge then backed away from me, as Scrooge made his was closer and closer to me.

"Louie, ye canny be apart of this family if ye dinny do adventures." He replied
"Are you crazy?!" Dewey shouted
Uncle Scrooge turned around and looked at Dewey, "Shut it Dewey." He responded then looked at me again "Adventuring is in our blood, and if ye canny see that then ye shouldn'ae be apart ae it." He continued.
"Uncle Scrooge!" Della shouted, and folded her arms. "No lass, dinny even start." He replied.
I can then see him taking a few steps closer to me, bending his back over slightly so his face as at my level. "Yer a disappointment Louie, ye canny live up tae the standards of the family? then ye dinny get tae be apart of it. So go."
He then stood up straight again and folded his arms. "Dad?..." Webby said, then Scrooge turned around to her.
"You, get to yer room Webbigail, Now!"
"But—" She tried to talk but got interrupted
"NOW!" He shouted, then Della ram infront of the kids. "Alright Uncle Scrooge, that's enough!" Della shouted, "Family is our adventure, we don't need to be hunting for treasure, nor do we need to be hunting for danger. If you can't accept that then maybe you aren't living up to the family standards."
She replied. Then I felt her grab my arm and walk to the stairs. "We're going to pack our stuff, if one of us aren't welcome here; we all aren't, period." She said again, then we all walked upstairs. "Webbigial! Here now." Scrooge shouted then Webby shook her head.
"No dad, I'm going to go with them until you get your act together." She nods then followed them upstairs.

Do I feel bad? Yes, yes I do. I mean it's not like we have a choice though, we clearly aren't welcome in his family so why would we be welcome in his home? But where would we go?
I had no idea but I felt too awkward to ask anyone, the silence was broke by Webby's voice. "Della, why is he acting like that?"
"I don't know, Sweetie, I'm sorry, you're welcome to come with us in the time being though." Della responded.
"Thank you." Webby smiled, after about an hour we had finished packing our essentials, we had to take some money with us as we would probably be going to a motel..
We all grabbed a couple bags each and began walking down stairs. "We'll come back when you finally get a grip." Della said to Scrooge then we began to walk out the door.
And so, we tried to find somewhere to stay...
