Gyro woke up at his house at 4am.

In all fairness, he had to leave a slip in note for BOYD under his pillow ( without waking him up ), get dressed in his oversized fuzzy jumper that had the letters " SCIENCEISTHESHIT" knitted in white, make BOYD some breakfast that he eventually put in the fridge for him to reheat on the microwave ( or BOYD's heating eye function cuz that was fine too), get all the Black Friday Raid stuff and ride on his motorcycle to meet his friends for the Black Friday Raid that they have been planning for weeks since the 1st day of November.

At 5am, Gyro arrived at the gates of Duckburg Mall, only to have his beak dropped at the sheer sight of the long queue of consumers staying in tents, eating cup noodles and wearing oversized jumpers in the queues for the Big Black Friday Sale.
All of Gyro's friends have arrived already - Donald, Della and Daisy somehow managed to drape themselves in one of Della's enormous fur coats ( that, to be fair, she stole from Goldie's magnificent wardrobe). Panchito, Jose, Esmeralda and Rosinha are snoring in the tents the couples built for themselves. Drake and Launchpad are furiously eating piping hot cup ramen. Fenton was checking and re checking all the upgrades for his Gizmoduck suit while sipping down his 3rd cup of hot cocoa.

Mickey and Minnie, who arrived just before Gyro came, are huddled in a huge wool jumper that they wore together and tried to snuggle into the sleeping bag that was inside the tent. Goofy was snoring as he wrapped himself in a cocoon made of layers of thick coats and duvets. Gladstone and Fethry are checking on the war paint. The rest are just snoring.

' Heya, fella!' Mickey greeted Gyro buoyantly but sleepily. Everyone else greeted him in the same manner.

' Since when did you guys came here so early?' Gyro yawned as he set himself up his small tent and sleeping bag for extra sleep, and a huge thermo bag for extra warmth.

' Drake and I snuck out of the house at midnight, ' Launchpad yawned as he took another bite of the ramen.

' SAME, ' Indigo and Tyrian chorused from their pile of duvets and snored even more.

Horace and Clarabelle, who were checking and double checking their bargain list, looked up and neighed/mooed as a form of greeting to Gyro.

' We've been here since 4am, ' Horace yawned. ' In fact, most of us arrived around 4am onwards, '

' Ahh, ' Gyro mused softly. Casting one glance at Fenton was currently snoring underneath the two layers of thick coats he was wearing, he set the alarm clock, tuck himself into the duvet covers of his sleeping bag and fell right asleep.

At 7am, the triplets, Mrs Beakley Scrooge and Webby slowly walked to the McDuck Manor dining hall to have breakfast. A generous spread of hot cocoa with marshmallows, bread, cheese and even some salami are already set.

' Wait, where are Unca Donald and mom?' Louie asked.

Beakley sighed dramatically ' I do believe the morning news have something to say about that. ' she mused softly as she turned on the dining room television for the morning news.

As Scrooge began sipping his morning coffee, his eyes bulges out as soon as a newsman named Erin Hummingbird announced the news in a half asleep manner,

' Breaking news : a record crowd has gathered outside of Duckburg Mall since 4am. As we zoomed into the crowd, we will see- wait, no! It cant be! Among them there are Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Gladstone Gander, Esmeralda Cruz and pretty all the famous members of Team McDuck in Donald's generation!'

Scrooge, the kids and Beakley watched with their Beaks hit the floor as the footage of Panchito and Jose painting war paint on some of their friends and even their beloved girlfriends, Della and Daisy shining their street hockey skates and Mickey and Minnie helping each other reheating their thermo bags to keep warm!

' Bless me bagpipes....' Scrooge facepalmed melodramatically as he munched on a piece of cream cheese toast. ' Last year's Black Friday Donald, Fethry and Gladstone had done the same thing! Now with more people!'

' Huh, that actually explains why I hear footsteps in the middle of the night, ' Huey gasped as he began sipping his hot cocoa.

' SAME, ' Dewey exclaimed as he aggressively chewed on his raisin toast with butter spread on top. ' I HEARD UNCA DONALD AND MOM WHISPERING, ' Let's just text the kids at 7am!''

' Dewey!' Webby yelled as she noticed the frantic way Dewey Wolfed down a forkful of salami. ' Stop eating so fast! You might choke!'

' Aww, Webby! But I'm hungry!' Dewey whined, but he did eat a little slower.

Scrooge then quickly dialed Goldie, with whom he began rekindling the marriage with since they rekindled their flame in the Fountain of Youth, and said ' Goldie, come to my office at around noon ish. WE GOT PRIME TIME ENTERTAINMENT ON OUR HANDS. '
