1- I hate everything including myself. This is the worst. I want to sleep for weeks.

2- I am the baddest bitch alive and can do anything. Slay.

"C'mon Cousin Donnie! I wanna see the guiatar!" Fethry pushed against his cousin's stubborn palm.

"You'll probably just break it," Donald huffily blew his edgy bangs out of his eyes.

"Oh c'mon Donald, what harm can Fethry actually do?" Della rolled her eyes alongside Gladstone as they sat on a nearby swinging bench.

"Hey! I can throw some punches," Fethry put his hands on his hips and huffed. It would have been threatening had he not been wearing his giant oversized winter sweater and hat, despite the fact it was mid june.

"Not like D-squared and Dumbella can Feth," Gladstone said as he sipped lemonade. Della laughed.

"Well yeahhhh," Fethry blushed and buried himself in his sweater.

"Hey, don't beat yourself up over that. You have other things to work with," Della got up from the seat and punched him lightly on the shoulder as Donald went over to his own spot on the grass to tweak with his guitar and semi sulking to himself as well.

"Really?" Fethry beamed at his female cousin.

"Of course! You got lots of things for your advantage! Like..." she snapped her fingers, trying to think.

"You're more likable than Gladstone," Donald snarked.

"And more understandable than Donald," Gladstone stuck his tongue out. Della and Fethry laughed.

"You're also able to crawl through holes me, Gladstone, and grumpy can't crawl through. Plus, you're much cuter and Grandma lets you get away with anything," Della added, and made even Donald laugh and nod in agreement.

"I am cute!" He acknowledged.

"Oh please, you'll fill his head with air," Gladstone joked.

"Can't be any more than yours," Donald crossed his arms and Gladstone threw one of the pillows from the seat to hit Donald square in the face. Donald scowled playfully and got up and began to chase Gladstone in circles, round and round while Della and Fethry cheered both of them on.

"Do you think he'll catch him?" Fethry asked.

"With Donald's luck? Never," she chuckled.

"So why does Gladstone allow him to in the first place?" Fethry asked genuinely.

"I think they just find it fun to hate each other. Such opposites make it feel natural," Della shrugged, placing a hand on the red cousin and watching Gladstone scramble up a tree just for Donald to run right into it with a thud.

"You'll get him next time Don!" Fethry shouted.

"Next time," he growled as he rubbed his head.

"Next time..." Della said solemnly. A hush fell over the cousins as they came to a realization.

This would be the last time in a long time.

Donald and Della were moving in with Uncle Scrooge, Fethry with Elvira, and Gladstone with Mathilda in Scotland.

They wouldn't see each other for a very, very long time.

"Yeah," Gladstone swung himself down safely. "Next time." He offered his hand and helped Donald up. He took it with a huff.

Donald and Gladstone slowly walked back to the other two and none of the cousins really spoke for a bit since the mood felt quite killed.

"W-well," Fethry cleared his throat, "We may not know when that may be... but let's just be happy and confident in our next time, ey?" He gave a weak crooked smile.

"Yeah! Fethry's right. Today is a day of fun. Let's enjoy it cuz it's all we'll have to savor til next time," Della agreed. Gladstone smiled and nodded.

"Alright!" Gladstone put his hand in the middle, Della and Fethry copping his motion. They all turned to Donald.

"Alright, fine. Even I can't say no to that," he reluctantly smiled and put his hand in the middle.

"One, two, three, DUCK COUSINS!" The jids shouted and lifted their hands into the air.

"WOO! Now let's go have some fun!" Della shouted and ran off, the rest of them running after laughing all the way.

.o0o.

Donald and Della sat together outside McDuck manor on the rim of the cement circle that surrounded the giant gold sign Scrooge kept in his parking area. The kids were off running around somewhere and it felt kinda good to get a break from people asking them questions and for them to just... be next to each other. Things were starting to settle down and the general public, superheroes and news reporters had all left so there was some peace in that too. However they weren't alone for too long as two familiar faces came and approached them.

"Heyo Dumbella. I don't believe we ever got a proper reunion," Gladstone grinned.

"Ah! You're so right! Its been so long!" Della got up and gave the lucky duck a strong hug. Fethry grinned at Donald and he rolled his eyes and gave Fethry one too, before they switched (except Donald and Gladstone didn't hug, they just nodded at each other and chuckled a bit to themselves).

"So what've you been doing for all these years? And what's the thing with the giant krill?" Della asked Fethry.

"I became a scientist! After being Uncle Scrooge's keeper for his underwater facility, Huey convinced me I should pursue the path of science! It is quite fascinating!" He beamed.

"Still energetic as ever I see," Della snickered.

"Oh yes! Being mostly alone under extreme water pressure for years is not good for the brain," his grinned widened and Donald scratched the back of his neck and gave a short nervous laugh. Della shot him a quickly look before moving on.

"I'm sure everyone else missed you too. I know I missed you guys, little cousins," she noggied both of them.

"Hey!" Gladstone freed himself, "last I checked I'm your age," he put his hands on his hips.

"Older by a month!" Della stuck her tongue out. Donald laughed.

"Take that," he mocked. Gladstone rolled his eyes.

"Yeah yeah, tell me that when you miraculously find twenty dollars and don't end up arrested cuz of it," Gladstone sneered. Donald scowled back. Della and Fethry laughed.

"I missed this... a lot," Fethry admitted, though mostly to himself. Della nodded along.

"I... I missed this too," Della felt her eyes begin to water but she laughed it off, but the other cousins noticed and started to feel their eyes water too.

"Della, don't you dare get me started," Donald pointed a finger, wiping his eyes with his sleeve and fighting laughter.

"Yeah, once you cry you know we all cry," Gladstone kept hiding his chuckle too but soon they all gave in and started crying tears of joy and hugging each other.

"I really, really missed this," Della cried.

"We all did cousin Della," Fethry bobbed his head.
