DuckTales: Denial

Chapter 8: A memorable night.

Della and Webby were at a hill. "I don't know why they wanted us here. Like, the night sky looks beautiful tonight but I still don't understand." Webby started.

Della chuckled. "You'll soon understand."

Webby laid down. "Hey, mind if I talk to you about something before the others come?"

Della just sat down. "Sure, bud."

"It's about Louie."

"Of course it is."

"It's just...I feel like I give him a hard time, you know? I'm barely bearable, especially for someone like him. I don't know why he puts up with me."

"Well...you two need each other."

Webby blushed at that.

"You teach Louie and Louie teaches you. You're opposites, so it works. And besides, if  Louie doesn't enjoy your company, why do you think he keeps hanging out with you?"

"Well maybe he's just trying to be ni-"

Della just looked at Webby with an eyebrow raised up.

Webby giggled a bit. "Ok! Ok! Maybe he does appreciate me, but Louie already has a crush...."

She just realised what she said and it was too late. Della look shocked and confused.

"What?! That's impossible! He said he liked y-I MEAN, huh?"

Webby sighed and then said "Mhm. He said that she's smart but naive sometimes."

Della thought about it for a moment and quickly caught on. "Ohhhhhh, that makes sense. I already know, hehe."

Webby looked at Della immediately after hearing that. "You know who it is?!"

Della soon realised she said that out loud. "Oh, I do? Well....all I can say is that she's being pretty naive right now."

Webby looked confused. "Huh? But I'm the only person with you and-....Wait.... Are you talking about-"

"Gotta go!" Della got up and went somewhere as someone else laid down in her spot.

Webby saw that it was no other than-

"Sup, Webs?"

"H-hi, L-Lou..."

Louie then looked at her. "Anything wrong?"

"NOPE! EVERYTHING'S FINE!" Webby yelled as she looked away while blushing.

Louie raised an eyebrow. "If you say so. Now, you're probably wondering why you are here."

Webby nodded.

Louie then began. "Now, I'd just like to thank you for well, being a close friend to me. For accepting me for who I am and always trying to cheer me up. I really appreciate it, Webs." Louie also started to blush a little.

"N-no problem, Lou." Webby replied. She then remembered something.

Webby handed the new phone over to Louie. "Hey, I got this for you..."

Louie just stayed silent and looked at it in awe.

"...Webs...I don't know what to say...."

"Hey, anything for you."

Louie then blushed harder after that reply. He took the phone and put it in his pockets. "Now Webs, I want you to look at the sky and don't take your eyes off it."

Webby looked at Louie, nodded and look up at the sky. "Woah.... This is magnificent!"

Louie scooted over to Webby and held her hand.

"......"

Webby's face was going to melt right now but she still kept her focus on the sky.

The others were watching from behind some bushes and trees. Including Huey who finished his camp earlier that day. Huey, Dewey and Della were really enjoying the moment between those two. Even Donald thought it was pretty cute. Scrooge didn't mind even if he did think that they liked each other platonically. Mrs. Beakley on the other hand didn't seem too amused.

As Webby felt like she was going to melt, she saw something phenomenal. There were fireworks going up, and that's not the best part! The exploded and said "I APPRECIATE YOU, VANDERQUACK"

Webby felt like she was going to tear up. "Louie...."

"Hey, anything for you."

"You just copied what I said earlier."

"Still true."

Webby then hugged Louie really affectionally.

"LOUIE, I'M SO GRATEFUL!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT YOU!!!"

Louie just smiled. He felt like everyone deserved someone like her.

Webby then let go of Louie. "How'd you even get the money for this?"

"If Uncle Scrooge asks, say it was for important work stuff."

"Uh, that didn't really answer my question."

"It'll make sense sooner or later."

Webby felt a sense of deja vu but decided to ignore it.

Scrooge, who was still hiding with the others, asked "What is the wee lad talking about?"

Della laughed nervously. "Oh you know, just little kids saying what comes to mind."

Mrs. Beakley grumbled. "I feel like going home now, any of you can follow me if you like."

With that, everyone but Huey, Dewey and Della left.

"Eh, their loss." Della remarked.

"Something interesting better happen!" Huey exclaimed. "Say, Dewey, how did he even come up with the idea?"

"It's almost impossible to tell what he's going to do next. I just hope they both confess soon."

"Ah, such young love."

"Agreed, Mom. I think they'd make a great couple."

Louie and Webby were just sitting next to each other. "Hey, Lou?" Webby started.

"Yes, Webs?"

"Look, I've tried to figure this out but I can't! Who's your crush?!"

Louie first looked confused but then remembered what he said before. "H'boy. Uh, why do you wanna know so bad?"

"...Just curious..."

"Webs, you were yelling."

"Look, I'll tell you why after. Just tell me! I cannot find it out and you have made me waste all my free time on it!"

"Me waste your time? I didn't ask you to try and solve it!"

He had a point, but still. Webby stared directly at his eyes. "Tell me, please. And don't lie..."

Oh crud, this was a tough spot. Should he? Or shouldn't he?

"Well...uhh....I like...."

Huey, Dewey and Della were now wide eyed.

"Oh my goodness! Is he actually?!" Della said in disbelief.

"About time!" Dewey responded.

"Let's just see where this goes." Huey said as he was also interested.

Webby was ready to hear it. Even if the answer did crush her heart, she still wanted to know.

Louie was sweating and gulped.

"Tell me now, Lou."

He sighed.

"I-I like you, Webs."
