What was that, Zehra?! You weren't supposed to collapse like that! And don't even get me started on Dewey!

I shake my head, and stop running. I'll need Athena to catch up. Memories of my conversation with Dewey flash through my mind...

"We can't!" I plead. "Just let us take this and we'll get out of your gelled hair!"

"Why can't you?!" He yells.

"I- I can't say..." I sit on the floor, in a corner, making sure Athena can't see me. If she saw I was talking to someone I'm not supposed to, she'd turn me into Professor Drake herself.

Dewey sits next to me. 

"Why not?" He softly asks.

I don't answer...

"You sure you're not just some crazy fan girls obsessed with the McDuck family?" He says with a smirk. 

I scoff and shove him away, making him laugh. 

A smile forms on my beak. 

It's nice, ya know? I haven't had a real friend. Well, do your siblings' friends count? No? Then yeah... never had a friend to talk to.

"OK. OK, OK, OK, OK. Random question... would you like to come to the GlomGold Gala?"

....

He just made my life wayyyyy easier!

"Um, you're inviting a random girl who broke into you house... to a GALA?! Why...?" 

Dewey's eyes widen and he rubs the back of his neck. 

"Uh.. well... you seem like a cool person, and I want to get to know you better..."

......

AWW!! 

"Um, alright! Where is it?" I ask.

Of course I know where it is! I just had to pretend cuz I don't need him to think I'm a stalker or something.

"GlomGold mansion! Tomorrow night. You can just come here around 7 and we'll pick you up. But no later than 7! We'll be gone by then!" He answers. 

His eyes stare deep into mine, and I am sooo glad that it's dark, because having a cute boy stare at your eyes might make ya blush.

"Can I expect to see you there?" He asks.

Ahh... um...

"Yeah! Then we can spar some more!" I say, making my hands into fists, and playfully narrowing my eyes.

"Ahh..." He gently lowers my hands so he can see my face. "How about we just talk like normal ducks?"

I drop my hands. "We could do that too!"

....

"Cool..." He says, and looks away. 

"Cool..." I repeat.

Well, this just got awkward....

Real fast...

While Dewey is looking away, I shove him, making him bend a little too much near his legs. He groans at the pain, and shots up, ready to fight.

Then, reality hits me, and I hear Athena, Green Bean, and sounds, all at once. It's as if when I was talking with Dewey, I was away from the real world.
