A Four Leaf Clover And A Shamrock

No game

- Ok uncle Scrooge I will do it but just for Fethry.- Donald was very upset, at the phone with Scrooge. He continued:

- I will come. Also because my nephews already planned it with Webby.-

Donald putted the phone down, he didn't want to listen to Scrooge anymore. Good begin for that Christmas day.

Huey asked him to invite Fethry for lunch. Daisy was busy since early in the morning, cooking a lot of things.

They needed to discuss about the trip too. Donald was scared and ready to hear, sooner or later, about the new richest duck of the world: Magica. If she managed to create the special amulet, it will be so.

Fethry had such a depressed expression that Donald almost didn't recognise him when he knocked at his door. It was a sunny and cold Christmas day. There was nobody on the street, everyone was busy to celebrate or cook food. Fethry greeted without energy and entered in Donald's house like a zombie. He sitted next to Dewey on the couch and suddenly leaded on him and start to cry. Dewey didn't know what to do.

- I miss my Dugan! I want him back!!- Cried Fethry, sneezing.

- Fethry I...I know and we will help you.- Said Donald, while putting a red tablecloth on the big table in the living room. Daisy brought many dishes full with appetizers. Louie looked at the brothers. They never liked what Daisy tried many times to cook but after the time that Huey compared her kitchen with the one of Grandma Duck, they won't complain anymore about it. They've never seen Daisy so furious.

- Yes...Scrooge told me. - Agreed Fethry, tooking his place at the table.

- He wants to go tomorrow...or even today maybe!- Louie said. 

- We have to take with us the kid too?- Asked Huey, annoyed about Shamrock.

- I don't know. I guess Scrooge wants Shamrock with him...- Donald said.

- Is that true, then? - asked Fethry suddenly, his mouth full of the mini appetiser sandwiches that Daisy have prepared.

He swallowed then continued:

- All the properties of Scrooge are now at Gladstone's name??-

Donald nodded, while Daisy was bringing a big turkey on the table. Louie took fast a big piece of meat, without waiting anyone else. Donald explained well to Fethry the deal between Scrooge and Gladstone.

- It has a sense, actually I believe that Gladstone won't cheat Scrooge. Not now, he mustn't in this situation. And is not clear yet what Magica did to Shamrock. - Observed Fethry.

- A spell, i didn't understand which one. But yes, Gladstone has to be careful with what he does from now. For many reasons.- Donald putted a hard tone in his voice. If Gladstone would tried somehow to have bad intentions with Scrooge, Donald will never forgive him.

Working on Christmas day is not something that the luckiest duck in the world will expect. But one of the richest will, instead. He actually won't really work, his luck just was bringing money and businesses to him but he needed to be at the Money Bin of course.

At 8am Gladstone was ready to go to the Money Bin. Shamrock begged Gladstone to bring him too. Gladstone said:

- It won't be anything nice, I'll work all day and Grandma Duck can stay with you today too.- 

- We have to organise the journey!- Shamrock was feeling a bit better and his energy came back to him very fast - Webby wrote to me yesterday about it! We must save Dugan.-

Shamrock carried with him his backpack with extra clothes, food, a torch and other small tools.

Grandma Duck was so proud of her little nephews, looking so well at eachother. Gladstone was worried, instead. He was afraid that Shamrock's luck was replaced with a lot of bad luck.

- Scrooge would love to have his new nephew with him. Who actually could look better after him than Scrooge himself?- Grandma Duck said.

- Save Dugan...that's true...- Said Gladstone, while putting his coat on - Ok, let's go we will talk with Scrooge about it.-

- Yes!-

Shamrock took his coat and ran outside, but he was right away covered by big amount of snow, fallen down from the roof. Grandma and Gladstone started digging into it but Shamrock was fine. 

" Just a taste of his new bad luck." Thought Gladstone.

Gladstone couldn't park his car by the entrance because it was occupied by an old aeroplane, a big guy busy fixing it with a funny face.

- Launchpad!- Gladstone called him - so, you will travel... today?-

Launchpad didn't expect to see someone else except Scrooge and he looked very surprised. He hitted his head against a door of the plane, while standing up for greeting them. Shamrock was very curious and he started to look at the aeroplane, he haven't seen any before. Scrooge told something to Launchpad about Gladstone, that he was lucking managing his businesses in that period. 

- If i will fix everything, once again, on time, yes!! Destination Vesuvius.-

- Yes we will rescue Dugan!!- Said Shamrock from the window of the aeroplane, he can't keep his joy anymore. A few moments later, Launchpad desired to cry. It seemed impossible but the door, just fixed, fell down as Shamrock opened it.

- I'm sorry...how is it happened...?- Shamrock looked really sorry.

- Don't worry, I'll do it. I'm used to!- Launchpad grabbed fast his tools with a smile.

- Better to go inside, Shamrock ...- Gladstone took Shamrock with him. He was wondering how could Shamrock go with them, he became like a bearer of bad luck. At least, Scrooge had to be aware about it.

Albert greeted them, offering them something to drink. They found Scrooge in the office, with Webby. They had both backpacks on.

- Shamrock! Merry Christmas! Are you ready?- Scrooge noticed with enthusiasm that Shamrock had a backpack with him too.

- It seems so, he decided himself but I have to tell you something...-

Gladstone took Scrooge aside, telling him about the bad luck of Shamrock. Scrooge didn't look worried about it. He just commented that they always brought Donald with them, so...and they laughed.

- I'm sad that you cannot come...- Said Shamrock to Gladstone. Webby took his backpack for putting it on the plane.

- I've to stay for help Scrooge from here. Look after him, Scrooge.-

Scrooge smiled, walking with Shamrock to the corridor. Then they heard Albert, a bit nervous, talking to someone.

- Miss, please, you cannot come here without appointment...-

Goldie completely ignored him. She entered in Scrooge's office, staring at him and Shamrock.

- Who is ruining my businesses? Right now, I want to know!- She looked furious. She stared at Scrooge, trying to catch his feelings but he acted cold.

Scrooge tried to give a bad response to her but Gladstone was faster:

- It's me. Leave them alone. I'm owning everything now.-

Gladstone crossed his arms, sitted behind the desk and surrounded by documents and with the pc on. He felt so powerful and he loved it. Goldie understood immediately that stealing Shamrock's luck revealed useless. She and Gladstone, lucky vs lucky, there was no game. She crossed her arms too, in her red casual dress and her long hair in a big ponytail.

Launchpad was calling Scrooge, maybe the aeroplane was ready and fixed.
- Bye, see you soon uncle Gladstone!- Greeted him Shamrock.
- Don't worry I'll keep an eye on him.- Said Scrooge, before to walk fast outside. 

- Then, what's next now?- Asked Goldie, irritated, after they were left.

- Simple. Give back to Shamrock his luck and everything will be OK.- Answered Gladstone.

- Forget it!- Goldie laughed.

- Then this "battle" will never end.- Gladstone had clear ideas. Goldie's behaviour became more comfortable.

- I know. But I'm sure that it will, somehow.-
