Dewey:
"Ahh, the grand bazaar of istanbird,"Scrooge announces, just as he normally does before starting his iconic long-winded speeches.
"History's first and finest strip mall,"Louie adds to Scrooges' comment.
Dewey noticeably rolled his eyes at Louie. He didn't mean to be rude, but he can't stand his brother right now.
"Is something wrong?"Louie asked, genuinely concerned.
"No, nothing's wrong. Just leave me alone, ok?" He looked away from Louie, hoping he just goes away.
"Are you sure?" He asks.
"I said it's nothing!"He yelled at his younger brother.
"Ok, fine. Whatever,"Louie shoved his hands in his pockets and walked away from Dewey and over to violet.
He did feel bad for snapping at him like that, but He hasn't been able to get over what Louie had said. Were things ever going to get back to normal? Can he ever trust Louie again?
Scrooge didn't even hear them, he was in full crazy adventure mode, nothing could interrupt his determination now. "Don't let the savory scent of shish kabob distract ya, kids. It'll be a reward after we find the split sword of swanstantine."
"Who?"Dewey asked, with more enthusiasm now that he wasn't talking to Louie.
Huey talks before Scrooge has the chance. "Swanstantine the great was a warrior-king. It's said his mystical sword channeled the bearer's inner strength. When he died, the king ordered the sword be divided into three pieces and hidden within the very city he founded centuries ago."
Oh great. Huey is in adventure mode too. Dewey rolled his eyes, and as Huey was about to continue- "Sword, centuries, shish kabob, got it!"Dewey shouted, "To adventure!" He started to run forward before Scrooge stopped him.
"It's gonna take more than gusto,"Scrooge explained.
Huey continues for Scrooge, "Yes, it's going to take true strength, according to finch's journal, only those in tune with their inner strength could claim the sword from the heavens, the underworld, and splendor of the earth."
He looks at the journal again, "I don't know what that part means."
Scrooge smiles. "The five of us must work together as a family, and- wait, what are you two doing here?" He asks Violet and Lena.
Violet explained, "we were sleeping over, and you said, 'everyone in the plane.' So we got in the plane."
"Well, do you...like history?"he asks.
Lea shrugged, "Meh,"
"It is my life,"Violet declared.
"That's the spirit!"Scrooge shouted.
"Best friend road trip!"Webby shouts happily hugging her two best friends.
"Hurry now, barines, fowl will be after the sword, too."
"They could be lurking...Anywhere!"
Heron showed up and started fighting Scrooge, "Kids, I'll handle her. Pair off!"
