The two older ducks scrambled out of the money bin to check on the kids. Fortunately, none of them got hurt. All 5 ducklings sat in a nervous row on a log bench. Scrooge started to pace back and forth.
"In the short time I've known you, you've wrecked my home, and my money bin. Unleashed several ancient evils and almost got me killed...twice!"

"More than I ever bargained for, eh?" Scrooge asked as he nudged her. Aria giggled, happy to have most of her family back together.
"You'll just have to wait and see!"
