I'll Read It To You

A/N Skylar is around 7 in this story, Donald and Della do not live with Scrooge in his mansion yet.

It was around 6 PM, and Skylar was in her mother's car. Goldie had told her to wait while she went to do something, who knows what.

She sat there for about 20 minutes, looking outside the window to see if her mom was on her way back, or to see what this place was. She couldn't tell. It was just a huge building out in the middle of nowhere.

She eventually, as all kids would, got extremely bored and impatient. She started messing around, tapping on the windows of the vehicle and jumping from seat to seat. But at some point, she dozed off and fell asleep.

She awoke to a loud bang on the side of the car, "What in the-" the little girl said to herself. She got up and looked out the window. There were red and blue, there was her mother, and she was being held down by two big men in police suits. "Oh no, what did she do this time." She wondered not really that surprised.

The two men proceeded to put handcuffs on both of Goldie's hands. Skylar couldn't hear much, but she could make out her mom screaming, '"You idiots, I didn't do anything it's the others you want!" and another shouting she couldn't quite make out. Next thing Skylar knew the men were opening the car door and pulling Skylar out.

"Mommy, what's happening?" Skylar said, her voice shaken and tears forming in her eyes. Her mom has gotten into trouble before, but this time it really seemed bad. "Let go of her! That's my daughter!!" Goldie shouted trying to break out of the cuffs. The police officers grabbed Skylar and put her into one of their cars. Skylar was full on crying, she was so confused.

She looked over to her mother, who was talking with the officers.

"Why did you bring her with you?" One of them asked. Goldie was ticked at this point, "I didn't think I would be here today, but I saw th-" she tried to explain but they cut her off. "Well, we will have to take you in, where do we take her, is there any family in the area?" Another officer asked. Goldie hesitated, she hadn't spoken to any of her family in years. The only family to her in the area was... "Take her to McDuck manor," she stressed.

One of the officers bursted out laughing, "McDuck Manor, you have to be kidding!" He laughed but he looked down to Goldie who had a stern look on her face. "Just tell Scrooge about what is happening, and he'll understand." She said her voice broken, but she still tried to sound serious. The officer still laughing, "Okay then,"

"Now let me talk to her before you take me away." She demanded. The police officers exchanged looks with each other and nodded. They walked her over to the car the others had taken her daughter to.

She watched as the officers brought her over to the police cars.

"Skylar, sweetie. Somet-thing came u-up and I have to be gone fo-or a day or two while I get everything cleared u-up, you are gonna go stay with your daddy while I a-am gone." She stuttered. Skylar jumped out of the car, a woman who was sitting in there with her tried to grab her but missed. She grabbed onto her mother and hugged her tight.

The police officers pulled Goldie away and put her in one of the other cars, the woman in the police car Skylar was in grabbed her and pulled her back in.

Skylar saw her mother in the car next to them as she drove by, they both stared at each other for the moments they could, but then they were on the road.

-

Skylar had no idea where she was going, she thought about what her mother said. "You'll be staying with your daddy." Skylar had tried to ask her mother about her dad, but she never really answered, she would always just respond with. "I'll tell you when you're older," and "I don't think you need to know." She didn't even know she had one until this point.
