Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 2

Chapter 22: Every Family Dinner Ever

"...and then you and Gloria went through a broken window at Target even though the doors were unlocked. She immediately went to stuff her pockets with candy and you went to the book to find some explicit novels. Duck Jesus, it was so wild and I was, like, sooooo irritated. But looking back on it, damn it was funny."

Ellie laughed. "Goodness. I can't believe I did all that. I would never."

The two were heading to dinner. It was 8:20 already, but Mark insisted they had to be fashionably late. She trusted him since he was raised by that snobby woman. The two weren't excited for dinner, Mark knew it was going to be awkward as hell. To make matters worse, their outfits were extremely uncomfortable. They looked like they were going to prom together or some shit. Ellie was wearing a slim dress while Mark wore some contemporary two piece with some killer shades (A/N: use your imagination because I'm too lazy to).

Their arms were locked so when they walked into the dining hall they would look even more like a married couple. Ellie didn't mind that at all obviously. Boyd was skipping ahead, wearing a cute little red suit. Glamour wouldn't like it, but he still had Glomgold's hat on. Mark didn't have any tools to repair him so the hat needed to stay on. Boyd looked super cute with it so it didn't matter much anyways.

"I know! It was terrible! You and Gloria were like BESTIESSSSS! She was so happy to be around you. Man, when we wanted to change you back she got so pissed. I've seen her upset before but this was next level. And when you changed back, oh boy, she just walked away dude. You probs remember that though. LOL!" Mark nudged her, hinting that she was supposed to laugh. "Anyway, I'm excited for din din!!!!!! I hope there's caviar!"

"Wait wait...back up for a second." Ellie frowned. "Gloria was upset when I turned back?"

"I mean, yeah? You were a more intense version of her, of course she wanted you to stay that way."

"Oh..."

Mark raised a brow. "Ummm... and you're upset about that because...?"

She sighed. "I shouldn't be upset. But yes, I am a bit. I really don't understand what our friendship is."

"Whatcha mean, E-dawg?"

"It is so complicated. She despised me at first for a good reason, since you and I were bad guys and everything. Then we came to an understanding when we were looking for you after our prison escape. She said she agreed to be friends with me and everything seemed to be fine. However, after I came back to life after my head decapitation, she started acting weird around me again because I was set on killing Scrooge and I followed commands too much. That's understandable as well. But her being upset with me now, if that is how you want to put it, does not make any sense. I don't know what happened. I promised to protect her child and everything." Ellie watched Boyd skip ahead as she spoke. "I would say it is probably because I failed to protect her child, but even before that we didn't speak much at the camp. It was just me killing people for her and that was about it. It has to be something else..."

Mark rolled his eyes. "Honestly, why are you worried about it? Gloria's just freaking weird. Me and her made up, but like, we haven't played Minecraft together yet." He blanked for a second, gears turning in his small brain. "Oh wait, that's because most computers don't work right now. Yeah. Okay. I need to tweet about this bullshit."

"Maybe it's because I despise Gyro?" She wondered aloud. "I don't think it's that either."

"Meh. I guess she's just into crazy bitches for friends."

Ellie looked at him. "Do you think it is because I'm a robot?"

Mark looked back at her. "Are you implying that she's... tech racist?"
