Webby woke up the next morning groggily. She looked at the clock that was near her Quackypatch doll.

6:00? Isn't that a bit early? She thought as she got out. She usually woke up by 7 due to her grandmother's schedule as the maid of McDuck Manor.

Memories of last night rushed to her head, recalling to her head.

"Louie!" she yelled. She didn't mind changing. She rushed to Huey, Dewey, and Louie's room where the trio slept, and snuggled next to each other.

"Guys? Louie?" she said.

The trio screamed as they saw Webby in the doorway. Huey sat up. Dewey brushed himself off and Louie tried to cling on one of his brother's legs.

"Louie, you good? You didn't seem well yesterday." she said as she neared Louie.

Louie nodded, "Yeah Webs I am. What did Dewey say? I'm fine see!"

He showed himself off. He seemed very normal and clear.

She shrugged. "Yeah you guys were right. Sorry."

"Eh it's okay. You wanted to help." Huey said

"Now come on guys! Beakly is making chocolate pancakes! I call dibs on the first one!" Dewey said as he got a head start on running towards the dining room.

Huey and Webby both went after him as Louie headed towards the bathroom. He cleaned his feathers and smoothed his hoodie from yesterday. The holes. Maybe Beakly or Uncle Donald will fix it and patch it up.

He looked through his body. His tail feathers still had a small trace of a tail. It immediately went back into his tail feathers. He sighed in relief as it returned to normal.

"I can't help it! Why do I have to get the plague? Why am I the evil one?" he wondered.

A small knock came in from the door. Louie hastily putted on a new hoodie and opened the door.

"Okay okay! I'm out and... Oh hey Webby. So come down to eat?" he said.

Webby nodded. "Yeah! Granny made pancakes today! You hungry?"

Louie nodded. Webby took his hand and lead him towards the kitchen. Mrs. Beakly took a plate and served it to Louie.

He gobbled it up in under 5 minutes as Beakly stared in awe.

"Louie? Any more? I have to give Mr. McDuck his breakfast and his daily newspaper. After that I'm not giving anyone else anything until lunch." she said.

He shook his head. "No thanks Beakly."
He headed towards his bedroom again. Webby was curious again to see where he went.

She pushed her plate aside. "Thanks for the pancakes again granny but I'm not hungry. Thanks though."

Her granny nodded as Webby ran up the stairs quietly. She saw Louie both ways before entering the bathroom.

She looked through the hallways to see anyone as she entered the triplets room. She heard Louie mutter something. About a monster? About him?

She began to unlock the bathroom door.

"What are you doing?" Dewey said as he entered the room.

Webby screamed as she was taken aback from his appearance. Louie got out and screamed as well, seeing Webby on the floor.

"Webby what are you doing? And especially in here? The bathrooms are down the halls over there!" Dewey asked.

Webby looked around, seeing for any excuse she could use.

"Uhhh um I got lost?" she said, squeaking.

"Lies Webbigail," Louie said. "You lived here for over 7 years. How can you get lost?"

"Ummmmm"

"Spit it out Webby." both Dewey and Louie said at the same time.

"OkayifollowedLouietohisroomtoseewhatwaswring." she said in a fast pace.

"Why did you follow he? If you need info just ask me." he said.

"Well every time I ask you, you just say your are fine! Just tell me what is going on!" she said.

"Well I'm going see how this goes down." Dewey said, slowly taking out the popcorn.

"Back away now!" Louie and Webby said.

Dewey put his hands in surrender and walked away slowly.

"Please Louie. I know that their words may not be the case but please tell me. Why did you collapse last night? Why did Huey push me into a closet yesterday?" she said.

Louie looked at her. Again she was pleading like yesterday. Will she think of me as the same? He thought. Of course not. Who are you kidding Louie. She'll think of you as a monster. The evil triplet monster. She'll never understand.

"Louie?" she said. "Lou are you still in there?"

She cupped her hand onto his cheek.

"Just tell me what's going on. Maybe I can help." she said.

Help? Ha! Louie Duck. That monster triplet prince? What can she help with?

He merely shook his head. He looked straight at her eyes going to not like his decision.

"I'm sorry Webs. I can't. You'll tease me for who I am." he mumbled.

"Why would I laugh at you? You're the most chill and relaxed person I've ever known! You are so funny as well! I would never do that Louie!" she said looking at him even more.

He gently stroked her hair as he whispered "I can't. I'm sorry but no."

He got up and went out the door, leaving Webby on the floor, confused.

Yes he was secretive but why would he do that?
