That does it. Dewey had enough of his family ignoring him. They couldn't even tell a difference between him and his brothers. Thank goodness that he just became a sky pirate captain and that he and his pirate crew tied them up so he can give them a punishment for such an unforgivable crime...

"Guys, we must throw them out of this airship! Hurry up before I get even more irritated by their neglectfulness!" Dewey ordered. Ugly Mug used a crane to pick them up and drop them onto a platform, where they will get pushed off by Captain Dewey.

Once they got dropped into a platform, Dewey walked up to them with a smirk. "Lad, need I remind you that we really do care about you, no matter how much we forget about you..." Scrooge tried to convince him, but of course, that didn't work.

When Dewey is about to kick them off, Webby has this to say: "I know you may not believe me, but...I'll always love you, no matter what." Right after that, they got pushed off an airship.

Immediately after that, Dewey realized what just happened and then he felt kinda sorry that he even did this...before he shook his head and reminded himself that it's the family's fault that this happened. His heart began to harden by that moment.

"Captain, the search helicopters are coming!" Peg Leg Meg warned. Dewey sighed out of exasperation. "Agh, really?! NOW they pay attention to me?! Come on, let's get out of here!" Dewey ordered. They did as they were told as they piloted the airship out of the area and away from those search helicopters.

There's a possibility that the family might survive that fall. After all, they ARE the McDuck family. Then again, there's also the possibility that they could die from such a high fall. Dewey hoped that the latter happened.

And thus began the reign of Captain Dewey...

A few years later...

Dewey grew to be 18 years old at this point. Throughout all of these years, he made sure that absolutely no one on this ship talks about his family ever, which was pretty easy since to the sky pirates, they're just another target that they robbed.

He also doesn't wish to go back to Duckburg, but he can't always have everything.

One day, they happened to be flying near Duckburg and the crew got hungry. "Hey, can't we just make a quick pit stop in Duckburg and get the food?" The whole crew asked.

Dewey couldn't believe that the crew was asking the forbidden question. Great, the crew is already asking impossible questions. He knew that the crew is as stubborn as he is, so he simply relented. "Fine... Let's make it quick."

Cue the ship flying to the city of Duckburg...while a certain girl caught sight of said ship from the window...

A few minutes later...

The ship landed near the restaurant, where the pirates will pillage it for food. How dastardly, but what do you expect? They ARE pirates, after all...

The girl followed the ship the whole time before it landed. And when she saw Dewey walk out of the ship, she gasped. "Dewey...?"

Dewey turned to look at the source of the voice. For an infamous pirate captain, he sure has incredible hearing. His eyes landed on the source and it turned out to be...Webby!

When their eyes met, Webby smiled at him, finally happy to see him again after all these years. Dewey, on the other hand, is straight-up flustered. He doesn't want to deal with this right now...!

Unfortunately, he can't seem to escape the situation as Webby ran over to him and hugged him. "Dewey! It's really you!" She exclaimed. Dewey did hug back, but only hesitantly.

"This can't be happening, this can't be happening, this can't be happening..."

Yup, Webby turned Captain Dewey into a flustered and blushing mess. Who knew?

"I can't believe that you came back..." She said tearfully as she finally looked up at him.

Dewey didn't even know what to say...at first. Sure, Webby's radiating joy touched his heart a little...

"Uh..."

...But he basically has a stone heart now, so his brutal honesty comes into play here.

"...No."

Webby's happy expression immediately changed into the one full of shock. "What...? Why...?" She replied weakly. She doesn't want to believe what she just heard...

"I have a new family now..." He responded, bringing a harsh reality to poor Webby. That's when Webby's whole world began to shatter...
