two - the lab

Next POV will be Kaitlyn's, so get ready for that. Also, be prepared, the cute fluff between everyone and their crushes will come soon. Yes Kaitlyn, Marshall will be here soon-

Emily's POV

After Brynne had been forced by the rest of us to be examined by Gyro, I made my way to introduce myself to Launchpad. I knew he was a cheerful and happy guy, but as I walked up to him, I felt a little nervous.

"H-Hey, Launchpad... uhh, how are you?" I awkwardly introduced myself to him. He wasn't too much taller than me, probably because I was the tallest of the group. (For her being the youngest, she's 5' 5")

"Oh, I'm doing great. Being a pilot is fun and all. H-" "How'd you know his name?" A voice cut Launchpad off and I turned around to see a curious Webby. The triplets were bothering Ana, so Webby must've gotten bored.

"Uhh..." Shit, I forgot that they never introduced themselves. I can't make anything up, but I can't tell them the truth!

"He, uhm, introduced himself to me, so I decided to... repeat it?" I lied, hoping the two would buy it. "I did?" Launchpad quizzes himself, blinking a few times as he thought it over. "I guess I did. Just... don't remember..." He shrugged and Webby walked off to check up on Kaitlyn and Tess, who were greeting Fenton.

Kaitlyn seemed a little bummed. Depending on what time it is here in Duckburg, we might be able to steal Gyro's bathtub time machine so she can travel and meet Sheriff Marshall Cabrera. Tess can have Fenton for herself then.

Ana was happy to speak with the children, but I could tell she wished Mark was there. I'm glad he wasn't, otherwise I'd be strangling him right about now.

I turned back to LP to start up a conversation when someone tapped my shoulder. It was Dewey, who pointed to Ana. She had a goofy grin on as I raised a brow. "What's wrong with you?" I asked, curious about what was happening.

"My ship..."

"Ship?" Louie asked, his brothers intrigued by her comment as well. "What's type of ship?"

I laughed a little. I bet they thought it was a boat or something. "Relation-ship." I explained as they made an, "ooooh...." sound before looking even more confused.

"What relationship?"

"Only the best one in the world. I would DIE for this ship to sail." She squealed happily, which made me giggle a bit. Kaitlyn, Tess, and Fenton walked over, wondering what was happening.

"Shush, we quiet. I wanna hear what's happening!" Ana quieted everyone and we all stared at Brynne, Scrooge, and Gyro.

"What's this lass?" Scrooge's Scottish accent asked pointing to Brynne's ear. Attached to it was one of her AirPods (yeah I own AirPods, lemme flex-), which she probably forgot was in there.

"Huh?" She asked, taking it out. Her face flushed a little as she grabbed the case that goes with it and placed the headphone next to it's pair. "Sorry, I forgot I had one of my headphones in..."

"Wait... she has her headphones? Does that mean we have our phones and stuff too?" Kaitlyn asked, placing her hand by her pant pocket and pulling out her cell phone. Her eyes sparkled as she saw it was at 100%.

"Wasn't it at 53 percent before we... y'know?" Tess wondered, pulling out her fully charged phone too. I grabbed mine as Ana took out hers. They were all fully charged. Whatever had brought us here also charged our phones to a full battery. That, or, a force has made it so that they can't die.

"I'm sorry, I know you just got here and are probably very confused as to where you are, but what ship were you talking about?" Huey butt in, looking at Ana as if he needed to know and understand what she meant.

"Hm, I dunno. Should I tell 'em?" She asked the three of us. I looked at Kate and Tess, not really caring if she did. They both shrugged and Tess answered, "It's up to you, really."

Ana smirked. "I guess they'll never know then. Excuse me while I go hide and take pictures. If one of you could, distract Scrooge for me? He's in the way."

Kaitlyn nodded and made her way up to the billionaire, leaving me with Tess, Fenton, Launchpad, and the four children.

There was a silence between us for a few seconds before an idea popped into my head. "Hey, Fenton?"

"Yes?" The intern smiled, happy to assist my little request.

"Would you mind showing Tess and I around the lab?"
