Chapter 1

Huey, Dewey, and Louie were walking down the boardwalk talking about the new Duck Wars movie they saw the other day. Dewey and Huey were arguing over who the better side was.

"The light side has all the good guys." Dewey said angrily.

"Yeah but the dark side has all the good stuff, and they have everything that the light side doesn't have, and then some." Huey stated as Louie stopped both of them. He pointed to an arcade that looked like it had a lot of games. They all ran inside and started playing all their favorite games. Dewey went to a musical guitar machine, Louie went to the racecar games, and Huey went to the skee ball game. In the middle of his skee ball game, Huey noticed a familiar voice talking in a big crowd. It triggered Huey to go stiff even though he didn't know who it was, but his reaction helped him figure it out.

"Don't talk to him, don't look at him." Huey constantly repeated to himself as he continued his skee ball game. The familiar voice then called his name.

"Huey, its me, Derek." Derek said as he tried to get Huey's attention.

"I have nothing to say to you." Huey said as he collected his tickets and walked away. Derek went after him.

"Huey wait." Derek said trying stop Huey.

"Why, so you can give me a wedgie." Huey said angrily not even looking at Derek. "Oh I know, you're gonna dunk my head in the toilet again right." Derek started feeling bad. "I thought you were in jail." Huey said as he continued to walk away.

"Look, I was." Derek said trying to stop Huey from walking. "But then someone bailed me out. Huey I'm sorry for everything, I realized I was wrong, I should've never bullied you. Please forgive me." Derek said apologetically kissing Huey's foot. Huey was surprised when he finally looked at him. Instead of a black leather jacket with blue ripped jeans, Derek was wearing a blue sweater vest with khakis. Huey was gonna say no, but something inside him told him to say yes. He didn't want to say yes, he also didn't want to say no. He couldn't figure out why.

"I need to think about it." Huey said as he walked away. Derek then made a call on his DPhone Y.

"I don't think the manipulation orb is working DAD." Derek said rudely as he pulled out a glowing round ball from his pocket. Glomgold laughed.

"It's working, he was conflicted about his options." Glomgold said. "You almost have him wrapped around your finger. Then Scrooge will be wrapped around mine."

"You better hope this works." Derek said angrily.

"Trust me, it will." Glomgold said maniacally laughing.

Huey walked up to Dewey and Louie. He had his arms folded and he was looking to the side.

"Guys, can we go home?" Huey said. Dewey was concerned.

"Why, what's wrong?" Dewey asked worried about his brother.

"It's nothing, I'll tell you later." Huey said as the triplets walked out of the arcade. Dewey was confused, while Louie was upset. Louie was about to break the record in the racing game he was playing. As they began to walk home from the boardwalk, Huey noticed a nerdy looking kid about his age getting picked on by two bullies. They were playing monkey in the middle with the kid's book, but the kid was not at all amused.

"Give it back." The nerdy kid demanded. The bully pushed him to the ground and laughed. Huey went over and snatched the book from the bully.

"It's not okay to bully others." Huey said angrily. The bully then pushed Huey to the ground.

"We're not bullying him, we're playing a game. Right Noah." The bully said looking at the nerdy kid.

"Yes Nathan, we were just playing a game." Noah said as he looked down at the ground.

"Now give me my book." Nathan said putting a lot of emphasis on the "my". Noah was about to hand it to him until Dewey and Louie intervened.

"I think you should go." Dewey said as he got in Nathan's face. Nathan was afraid, but he didn't want to show any fear.

"Fine, this was lame anyway." Nathan said as he and his friend left. Huey helped Noah up.

"Are you okay?" Huey said as Noah pushed his glasses up on his face.

"I'm fine." Noah said. As Huey picked him up, he noticed the book Noah was reading. It was a book about quantum science. Huey looked at it with delight.

"You like quantum science too?!" Huey said excitedly. Noah looked at him.

"I thought I was the only one." Noah said as he pushed up his glasses. "I guess you caught my name, but I didn't catch yours." Noah said sticking his hand out to shake. Huey introduced himself and his brothers.

"I'm Huey, and that's Dewey and Louie." Huey said happily.

"I'm Noah." Noah said excitedly. "Can we be friends, I never had a real friend before." Huey was excited as well.

"I don't see why not." Huey said. "I never had a smart friend before." His brothers started looking at him angrily.

"Who says that I'm not more smarter than you?" Dewey asked as he folded his arms.

"The fact that you didn't use proper grammar." Huey said as Louie and Noah laughed. They started walking to their house.

"Is it cool if you come over?" Louie asked Noah.

"Are you kidding." Noah said excitedly. "My parents would be thrilled if I went over to someone's house." The triplets started laughing as they all went to the manor. Dewey than started whispering to Huey.

"I saw him too, we'll talk later." Dewey whispered about Derek. Huey agreed.
