Webby Week 2023 Day 7: Family/ Comfort
Plus a bonus to give this drawing some context by giving y’all a sneak peek of what’s to come for my ducktales fanfic!
After Scrooge found out what Webby was doing at the beach house, he decided to have a serious talk with her. The family was gathered around the table. Webby has her head down.
“Webbigail, It’s summer break. Why are you working at a place like this? You know you’re way too young to get a job!”
“Dad, I’m sorry. I just want to be like you. To become more independent..."
“Do you have any idea how worried I was? We were all trying to look for you! I was afraid that my little girl would get hurt again.” Scrooge sighed. “But, thank goodness you’re okay. Now, please change out of those clothes so we can relax.”
“This place is going out of business.”
“It’s true, Mr. McDuck.” The manager said. “If I can't get any customers, then my restaurant will close its doors.”
Scrooge raised an eyebrow on the manager. “How do you know me?”
“Webby told me everything about you. I have heard your name a few times back when my restaurant was alive.”
The rest of the ducks were all facing the manager with their eyes widened.
“In the past, I had a group of amazing employees that kept my customers happy. We were known for our famous breakfast.”
Webby raised her hand. “Are we talking about pancakes? There’s this friend of mine that loves them.”
“I was going to mention that we were mostly popular with our pancakes. Everyone loved them. Especially when it’s topped with chocolate chips and maple syrup.”
“Yum. Now I want some.” Webby giggled.
“But, now that the nearby club is open, my group of people left me behind, and nobody wanted to come here anymore.”
After hearing the manager’s backstory, Scrooge puts his arm around Webby. "I'm sorry sweetie."
“I didn't realize that you were trying to help out this kind man.”
“Well, I always love helping the people I love. One time, Dewey and I helped Penumbra with her homesickness problem. I got her to try a hamburger for the first time!”
“It’s always the old saying that to get one’s heart is through their stomachs. Beakley always worked around the kitchen back at the mansion. She always puts her heart into making delicious food. If your granny can do it, so can you." Scrooge winked at Webby.
Webby looks at Scrooge and the rest of the gang. She's come this far into who she really is, and it was all thanks to her family.
“You’re right, dad. I want to make all these dishes with all of you. And maybe, we can all eat them together!”
“That’s the spirit! As long as we work together as a family, we can lure those people into trying our own food.”
“You mean, a new recipe?” Huey asked.
“Ooh! I like the sound of that!”
“How about we serve chili dogs?” Della suggested.
“I have something that will blow your mind: Dewberry pancakes!”
“I think people want Pep.”
After hearing each other’s ideas one by one, Webby thought it would be a great idea.
“We gotta clean up the place first, and maybe do some decorating before the restaurant even opens.” Huey also suggested.
“That’s exactly what we’re gonna do. The restaurant opens at 10’ am sharp. And we have about three hours to get everything ready.”
Scrooge smiled once more, and he stood up from his chair. Everyone gathered and put their arms in. “Alright, everyone. Let’s do this!”
The family raised their hands in the air. “Yeah!”
