1950's Emstone

Chapter Four

It was harder to sabotage somebody else's relationship than Daisy thought.Especially if you didn't know one of the people very well, and the other one you,admittedly,don't have a very high opinion of.But Emilie had what Daisy wanted, and Daisy wasn't going to let anything,or anybody stop her from breaking up Gladstone, and Emilie.
At first it was hard, but then Daisy decided to use the fact that Emilie had just moved to Duckburg to her advantage.Emilie didn't have many friends,except for her sisters, and Gladstone.It was an easy plan,especially since Daisy had a lot of friends.Unfortunately,pretending to be friends with Emilie also meant having to put up with her talking about her time with Gladstone.
Gladstone giving her a diamond bracelet.
Gladstone taking her to see a musical.
Gladstone taking her to an exotic place for a vacation that he won in a contest.
It drove Daisy crazy,especially since Donald never gave her a diamond bracelet, or took her to musicals,or took her to exotic places.Yes,Donald was a devoted boyfriend,who strived to make her happy,which he did with his kindness,devotion, and loyalty.But was it wrong that Daisy wanted to be spoiled every now, and again?
But today,today,was the day that Emilie, and Gladstone were going to break up.It was an easy plan.All Daisy had to do was show Emilie how great a boyfriend Donald was which will cause her to realize that all Gladstone was superficial.And thanks to her pretending to be Emilie's friend,she knew where they will be:the beach.
Which was where Daisy convinced Donald to take her today.
"I'm glad that you thought of the beach,Daisy.It's a great day for it.The sun shining, and a cool breeze."said Donald.
"Oh,yes."agreed Daisy. "I can't wait for you to see me in my new bikini."
"Oh,boy,oh, boy,oh,boy!"
Daisy simply smiled.This was also part of her plan.She intentionally brought a dazzling,head turning bikini so it'll distract Gladstone away from Emilie which will convince Emilie that Gladstone wasn't all that wonderful.
When Donald,and Daisy got to the beach,the first thing they did was change into their bathing suits.
"Oh,wow Daisy!"swooned Donald when he saw her in her bikini.
"I knew you'll like it."said Daisy. "Now let's head to the beach."
"Where should we sit?"
"How about there?"Daisy said,pointing near where she knew Emilie,and Gladstone were.
"Okay."said Donald,who was too distracted by Daisy's bikini to argue.
In fact,many men turned their heads when they saw Daisy,whether or not they were with their girlfriends or not.Something that made Daisy happy as it meant that Gladstone would have the same reaction.
Unfortunately,that wasn't the case.
"Donald!Daisy!What are you doing here?"said Emilie when Donald, and Daisy arrived where she, and Gladstone were.
"We decided to go to the beach today."said Daisy,hoping that both of them would think it was just a coincidence.
"But do you have to be next to us?We want to be alone."asked Gladstone.
Daisy looked shocked.What happened to the Gladstone that swooned as much as Donald did whenever he saw her?
"I want to be here."said Daisy.
"Daisy,we can go somewhere else.It's a big beach."implored Donald.He didn't want Daisy to make a scene.
"But I want to be here!"demanded Daisy.
"No,no.We can go somewhere else."said Emilie.
"It's like you said,Donald,it's a big beach."said Gladstone as he, and Emilie began to pack up their stuff to move to another spot on the beach.
Donald felt embarrassed.He knew what Gladstone meant when he repeated his words about it being a big beach.Donald should of been more persuasive towards Daisy regarding moving somewhere else on the beach.But instead,all he said was 'we can go somewhere else.It's a big beach.'
"Donald!Have you been listening to me?!Set everything up!"snapped Daisy.
"Oh,sorry."said Donald as he began to unpack the things they brought with them.
"Aren't you going to help?"asked Donald when he noticed that Daisy was just standing there,either watching him,or surveying the beach.Her eyes usually lingering on the spot where Gladstone, and Emilie now were.
"What?No!You have it,don't you?"
Donald sighed, and continued to set everything up.Donald really hoped that Daisy wasn't going to be like this the whole day.But he couldn't but think it was rather odd that Daisy became demanding when she encountered Gladstone, and Emilie.
'I'm sure it's nothing.' thought Donald as he finished setting everything up.
"All done doll face!"said Donald.
"Good.Now go get me an ice cream cone!"demanded Daisy.
"What?Are you serious?"
"Yes. I want a chocolate ice cream cone with sparkles!"
"What about me?What about us?I thought this day was going to be about the two of us!"
Daisy simply waved him off.
Donald walked off in a huff.He felt Daisy's eyes on him,as though making sure he was getting her, and only her,an ice cream cone.Specifically,a chocolate ice cream cone with sparkles.
But Daisy wasn't making sure that Donald was getting her an ice cream cone,after all, she knew he would.What Daisy was doing was making sure that Donald was far enough away to go to where Emilie, and Gladstone were.Which was what Daisy did when she was certain that Donald was far away enough.Especially since the line for the ice cream shop was pretty long.
But Daisy found out that her presence was not welcomed by either Gladstone nor Emilie.
"Daisy!What are you doing here?"asked Emilie.
"Why aren't you with Donald?"asked Gladstone.
"He's getting me ice cream."said Daisy. "He just finished setting up everything up."
"By himself?"said Emilie,sounding shock at Daisy's actions.
"Of course.He's willing to do anything for me."
"What about you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Let's go."said Gladstone,beginning to pack everything up.
"Good idea."agreed Emilie,looking annoyed at Daisy's constant intruding.
Daisy went back to her spot.She didn't understand.She thought that at least telling Emilie that Donald was going to get her ice cream right after he set everything up would make Emilie realize she could do better.What went wrong?
Daisy kept repeating Emilie's words in her head.
'What about you?'
What did that mean?Of course Daisy thought of herself!Why else would she be trying to break up Emilie, and Gladstone?So when Donald doesn't give her the things she wants, and needs, she could always go to Gladstone.
Donald suddenly returned from the ice cream shop with two ice cream cones in his hands,the one that Daisy wanted, and a strawberry ice cream cone for him.He noticed that Daisy was upset about something,Donald hoped that the ice cream would help.
"I'm back Daisy!And with a chocolate ice cream cone with sparkles!"said Donald in a happy voice.
Daisy looked up.She noticed that Donald had two ice cream cones in his hands.But she didn't ask for two ice cream cones.
"Why do you have two ice cream cones? I didn't ask for two ice cream cones! I only asked for one!"demanded Daisy.
"I got a strawberry one for me!"
Daisy took the strawberry ice cream cone from Donald's hand, and shoved it in his face.
"I don't remember saying that you can have an ice cream cone!Next time you want something ask!"yelled Daisy.Thankfully not enough to get anybody's attention.
Donald simply stood there,completely shock.He did everything Daisy asked of him.All he desired was Daisy's happiness.But how did Daisy thank him?Accusing him of coming up with excuses to not follow up on with promises that he couldn't follow up on.Dumping him for Gladstone whenever he couldn't give her what she wanted, or things didn't go her way.Daisy would yell at him.And Donald always put up with it.But this? Daisy never physically assaulted him before.
Until now that is.
"Since when do I have to ask you for anything! I do everything that you ask of me! I do everything you tell me to do! I don't complain! I don't gripe about it even though nothing I do is apparently good enough for you!"yelled Donald,not caring,or noticing that people were starting to stare in his, and Daisy's direction.
"That's because you're a screwup!" Daisy yelled back. "The only thing that's good about you is that you're good husband material!"
"So I'm just somebody to make you look good?!"
"Well,it's not like anybody else will have you!Besides,you're supposed to do everything I say!You're supposed to give me anything I want!"
Donald didn't say anything.He couldn't believe that he spent all his time, and energy on a woman that saw him as a screwup,expected him to give her anything she wanted,do whatever she wanted, and only saw him as husband material.In other words,somebody to make her like good.
"We're through."said Donald,picking up the things that he brought with him.
"What?!Donald!No!"said Daisy.
"Bye,Daisy.And,yes, I can do better than you."said Donald as he left.
Daisy couldn't help but laugh.Better than her?Who could be better than her?
Besides,Donald will be back.Donald always came back to her.
At least that's what Daisy was telling herself as she felt this time was different.
