Newton Gearloose waved goodbye to Phooey Duck as the duckling left for his own home. He pondered over something strange his guest had said before leaving, "Don't tell anyone else but we've met before in another life in another universe. I think we were friends." He nodded at the time but it had confused him and even scared him. Something about how it was said made him believe it despite how impossible it was. The distant implications of this person having the ability to know what happened in other universes by having past lives in them, scared him.

The golden egg gave him a quick smile, it was bright and warm and struck him like lightning bolt.

By the time Newton was out of his lovestruck state, he realized that he'd been there for an hour. Gyro Gearloose poked his head to check on his nephew then asked, "It's lunch, you want anything?" The chick peeped, "A sandwich with apple juice please." The chicken nodded, bringing in the child and sitting him down. The adult started making his own lunch and the kid's lunch. The junior science chicken asked the science chicken, "When can Phooey come back?" The uncle paused a second before testing this as he continued, "Why should you care?"

"No reason, I just wanted to know." The preteen nervously answered. Gyro set the plate and juice box down on the table and went back to his own lunch. The peep tested, "And what if I had a reason? What if I liked him?" The older male noted briefly as he brought his lunch to the table, "Then you'd like that little pain in my side. Nothing would really change otherwise." The younger male thought over this, deciding that was okay if he liked this nice boy who annoyed his favorite uncle. It would be nice even to call him his boyfriend. Although he wasn't quite ready yet.

Newton Gearloose ate his sandwich then drank his juice. He pointed out, "But I still want to know when I can see him again." Gyro Gearloose shrugged as he ate his own lunch. He finished up, "I don't know and I don't care. Just ask for his phone number if you want to "play" with him so much." Newton blushed, hid his face, before running off for his room.
