When Webby's school has a father/daughter dance .Who will she ask to
Take her?And she when lies will it get her in a lot of trouble?This is Darwking crossover .I don't own the rights to any Disney Charters .

Six year old Webbigail sat in her first grade classroom watching the clock tick on the wall it was almost 3 and the day went slowly so she was ready to go home .It was hot as summer had just began and it was only a few more weeks until summer break .Peeking out the window all she could think about was in few weeks when she could play outside all day in the fresh air instead of the stuffy classroom .The teacher smiled Miss Martin was young duck maybe in her early 20's wearing a long brown dress with white stocking and brown flats .She was short and always wore her blond hair in a pigtail .She began writing on the board while Webby was drawing a picture of flower in her note pad.

"Now girls with summer nearing we are going father /daughter dance on June the second "Miss Martin spoke beginning to write it on the board "I hope all the girls can attend"She always gave the news before the end of the day

Webby only peeked her eyes up at the board for a few seconds before turning her head back down to her drawing .She was poked in the back by Kelly DuckBin. She was kind of snotty and rich she was wearing a pink dress with tights and pink flats her red hair in pigtails .She was a duckling who father owned many different company's .She lived not far from Webby and sometimes teased her. Webby jerked her head around and eyed Kelly for a minute .

"What do you want?"Webby replied in smart tone not wanting to talk to Kelly who always seem to find the seat behind Webby in class and bug her knowing Kelly was going to make some nasty comment .The bell rang and Webby picked her bag up trying to leave before Kelly could say anything. Bethany James came up behind her another snotty girl wearing a blue dress white ruffles socks and blue flats .The two duckling began following Webby into the hallway . Webby knew they going to make trouble .

"Webby my father is going to take me out to an expensive dinner before the dance and buy me anything I want at the mall .Is your father going to take you ? O that's right you don't have a father"Kelly replied and began laughing as Bethany followed walking right behind her laughing to.

Webby turned around glaring before replying in angry tone"my Uncle Scrooge will take me "

Bethany looked at Webby oddly and coughed before speaking "Webby that mans not your Uncle don't you know rich people do charity for poor people .Its so they can write if off on there taxes you know he takes you and your grandmother in and then he can write you off and it makes him look good to the press.I know my father dose things to make himself look good all the time .He lets you call him uncle and the press thinks he is a good guy"

"That's not true "Webby response flipping her book-bag over her shoulder almost nailing Bethany in the face turning away from them as she begins walking.

"O Webby you poor little thing you just don't know do you?Mr Mcduck told my father just the other day how they press up his image by letting you call him uncle scrooge .He doesn't want you or grandmother even there .Poor little Webby her real mom and dad didn't want her and neither dose anyone else". Kelly said both her and Bethany following Webby outside as she opened the door

Webby blinked off tears and whipped her eyes and sniffed .Before three boys came running up behind them. Scrooge's nephews were tossing a baseball between them catching it almost nailing Webby in the head right before she and Bethany just smiled and waved as they walked away.

"Whats wrong Webby?"Huey asked seeing tears in her eyes.

"Kelly and Bethany teasing you again"Dewey added putting his arm around the young girls back knowing Kelly and Bethany sometimes tease her.

No,just had something in my eye "Webby said beginning to walk home pushing Dewey's arm off her back the boys following .The group began walking up the street the boys some what running as they toss the ball back and forth .As they entered the yard to the house the boys ran off to go play grabbing there gloves and a baseball bat .Huey throws the ball and Louie hits it high into the air as Dewey catches it . Before Scrooge comes into the yard .Webby was drawing in her note pad she doesn't even look up as the old man pats her head as she is sitting on the steps.

"What are you up to lassie?"He says almost passing her as he talks headed to were the boys are playing before she could even respond he had already passed her .

"Just drawing Uncle Scrooge I was wondering if you could take me?Webby began looking up glancing at him as he kept walking now ignoring her after asking her a question.

Scrooge had already began talking to the boys before she had even finished answering him. He had a huge smile on his face.

"Guess what lads the week of the second I am gonna take you on vacation.I figured since school was going to be out I would to take the time off and spend some time with you"Scrooge smiled happily

The boys jumped hugging him tight clinging to his side.

"This is going to be so cool"Louie says jumping out of control .

"Where are we going ?"Dewey said excitedly hugging to Scrooge's side

"Anywhere you want lads"Scrooge answered the group filled with excitement .Webby eyes blinked she ran her hand over her eyes before getting up and wondering up the stairs and back into the house No one even looked up as she left .She walked into her room and picked up Quacky patch and began crying rocking softly. After a few hours Webby was cuddled up on the floor cuddling her doll just staring at the wall when her grandmother knocked on the door.

"Webby its time for dinner"She said softly before entering the room .She looked down at Webby seeing her face"Is something wrong Webby?"She asked beginning to get worried.

"No nothing is wrong I am just not hungry"Webby hugged to her doll

"Well Launchpad has come up from St Canard for a visit why don't you come say hi maybe it would cheer you up"Her grandmother said motioning for her to come along .Webby got up following slugging down the stairs and around the conner into the dinning room. The room looked up slightly as she entered and she sat in a chair plopping down Duckworth set a bowl of soup in front of her and she took her spoon scooping it up soup and poring it back down into the bowl. She could hear chatter from the boys,Scrooge,Miss Beakley ,and Launchpad but she only played with her bowl of soup not looking up . No one noticed as the boys were excitedly telling Launchpad about everything that had happened since he had left and Scrooge was enjoying asking him how he had been. Miss Beakley was busy helping Duckworth pick up the dishes and waiting on them .Finally Launchpad broken the silence maybe he had notice she was so quiet .

"Hey Webby you sure are getting big how have you been?"Launchpad eyed her and before she knew it the hole room was eyeing her waiting for her to answer .Webby looked up just slightly before answering him .She wouldn't have said anything but it was like everyone was waiting for her to answer.

"I am fine thank you"She answered before picking back up her spoon and began playing with her soup that stopped the room from eyeing her . Her grandmother just got that look and began scolding her.

"Webbigail don't play with your food ?"She began removing Webby's bowl from the table .Webby crossed her arms and scooted a bit away from the table. The boys,Launchpad ,and Scrooge walked into to the living room carrying drinks in there hands You could hear Louie going on about baseball as she scooted through the room and back up the stairs. She sat in the middle of the steps where she could hear them and began drawing a little house with a white fence and a picture of little girl with a mom and dad sitting on the front porch in a little swing. She signed and began coloring in the picture using crayons. .She could hear the boys telling Launchpad about going on vacation with Scrooge and her face sadden after what seem like hours Launchpad got up and began walking toward the door and the group exchanged hugs.

"Boy it was good seeing you again"Launchpad said rapping the boys and Scrooge into a hug.

"We sure miss you "Dewey said as they let go of the hug.

"Don't be such a stranger"Huey added as the door is opened and Launchpad begins walking outside before it is closed again. Webby stared at it for minute as the group turned around and headed back toward the living . She got up running and opening it and began running after Launchpad.

"Launchpad "she yelled right before he was about to get into to a taxi. Webby ran to him stopping him just in time and grabbed his waist hugging him."Can I ask you something ?"

He looked down hugging the little girl"sure thing little buddy"He pats her head making her bow pop up and down.

"You see there is dance at school It suppose to be a father/daughter thing but I don't have a daddy .And it's the week Uncle Scrooge is taking the boys on vacation and well I just wondering could you take me?"Webby little eyes looking up at him". I mean we are good friends and all"

Launchpad looked down at her that little face glaring up at him he couldn't say no"Sure thing little buddy what day is it?"

Webby smiled big"the second "

"You can count on me Webby"He hugged her before getting into his taxi She had huge smile she waved as the cab drove away.

She jumped up and down "yes"She screamed excitedly as she ran into the house as she entered she heard Uncle Scrooge and the boys talking she poked her ear to the side of the wall.

"Wasn't it nice seeing Launchpad again?"Louie said with huge smile

"Remember all the fun times we had to together "Huey remind them

" Launchpad is like family maybe we should ask him to go on the trip with us ?"Dewey said eyeing Uncle Scrooge .

"That's great idea lads"Scrooge said motioning to the boys"It's past your bedtime lads"Scrooge puts his arm around them as they pass Webby going up the stairs not noticing her and head to there room.

Webby just looks down a tear rolling down her cheek whipping it away . She walked to her room and climbed on the bed and cried herself to sleep .

In St. Canard the next day Drake and Launchpad were woke up to the sound of the phone ringing it was almost noon but the two had been out most of the night crime fighting. Launchpad rubbed his head awake being asleep on the couch he was the first. to answer he .He tiredly picked up the phone .As Drake closed his eyes again . He was in the chair next to him .

"Hello"Launchpad said with yawn"o hey Mr Mcdee" he greeted Scrooge taking the call "a trip with you and the boys on the second of course I would love to go"Launchpad smiled thinking of going on an adventure with the boys and Scrooge again "Gee thanks Mr Mcdee it will great hanging out with you guys again o you to bye"Launchpad smiled as he hang up the phone before he closed his eyes again .He was only was asleep for a minute before he woke up again."little Webbigail"His face went sad.

"What wrong LP I am trying to sleep"Drake said closing his eyes again cuddling up in the big brown chair.

"I forget I promised Webby I would take her to the dance at her school and now I just promised Mr Mcdee I would fly him and the boys on his vacation "Launchpad said with a sad face."She will so disappointed "

"Why dose that man tell her to call him her uncle when he doesn't spend any time with her that poor little girl?"Drake said only thinking about Gosalyn and wondering how anyone could disappoint a little girl ."When is it LP ?"

"On the second of next month"Launchpad said trying to figure out what to do.

"Gos will be at camp she gets out of the school next week and will be gone for 4 weeks if she doesn't mind I will take her.I meet her once remembers when we were in town for the weekend what a sweetie."Drake said only seeing in his mind the face of a disappointed Gosalyn if she had no one to take her. Webby's little sweet heart had gotten to Drake as well as everyone else. Goslayn was to much of tomboy to enjoy dances and would probably snob at the idea but still he couldn't stop picturing Gosalyn's face if she had her heart set on going and someone broke it.

"Gee Drake that's sure swell of you"Launchpad began hugging Drake coughed as Launchpad hugged him so tight .

"Not so tight Buddy "He said pushing him away.

The next at school. Webby was so excited she couldn't help it after Launchpad called her and said Drake would take her .Drake was good friends with Launchpad and after meeting him one time she really liked him and knew they were good friends. Kelly walked up to her at lunch with a smile ready to tease her holding her lunch box in hand.

"Hey Webby got myself a new dress for the dance .Bet you will have to get yours at the thrift store or that's right your not going cause you don't have a daddy to take you "Kelly smiled sitting her lunch box on the table and opening it.

Webby was tried of her teasing her so she looked up playing her game right back at her"it just so happens my daddy is taking me to the dance ". Webby said taking a bite of sandwich .

Kelly laughs "your make believe daddy invisible daddy's don't count Webby"Kelly shook her head.

"He is not make believe and you can meet him the night of the dance .His job just keeps him away so that's why I live with my Grammy but when I told him he said he was coming into town just to take me and he is buying me the prettiest dress in town"Webby smiled turning her head shutting her lunch box and walking away bumping Kelly in the back .

Kelly got up from the table and followed Webby throwing her chip bag in the trash."I will believe it when I see it "Kelly laughed as she left the room and head toward her locker.

Webby yelled as she walked away"o your gonna see it"Webby ducked into the bathroom and only muttered to herself "o why did I say that"
