“Thanks!” Lily grinned, setting her stuff down. Her smile faded when she saw her sister crumple her own drawing. “Why did you crumple your drawing?” she asked, concerned.

Quinn looked at Lily and laughed nervously. "Oh, this thing? It's just…" She paused. She looked around the room and continued crumpling her paper. "I just messed up. Better to start over that continue, right?"
Scarlett looked up at her sisters with a confused expression. "I guess? You could've just erased it, but….remaking it works too."

Lily shrugged. “I guess so…” she nodded as she leaned back. She was really worried about Quinn but she didn’t want to pry when it was not needed. She sighed.

Quinn smiled slightly at Lily. "It's fine, though. I really want to make something impressive, and the other drawing was meh." She grabbed the pencil once again and she started drawing McDuck manor. She tried her best to draw it as accurately as possible. She hummed a tune as she drew and then colored the drawing in. She passed the drawing to Lily and Scarlett.

“Ooh, this is nice!” Lily gasped in awe. The drawing was very accurate and looked amazing. She then passed the drawing to Scarlett. “You’re amazing at this, Quinn!” she smiled.

She smiled at her sister's compliment. Scarlett looked down at the drawing of McDuck manor and practically broke into a smile. "Wow, sis! This is so awesome. I didn't know you had a secret talent," She said with a small laugh. Quinn rolled her eyes, but it was clear that Quinn felt happy. "I do try my best. But of course, my art can't compare to Lily's. I mean, her art is a whole new level of epicness."

Lily elbowed Quinn softly. “Come on, your art is SO much better,” she laughed as she leaned back. She liked the compliment but she wanted Quinn to smile more. “I can barely remember most of the details of the manor,” she admitted, laughing again.

"I-….no, of course not. It's just that my mind has a fresh image of McDuck Manor, that's all." She took her paper back and looked at it. "Besides, it's not like I did any better than you two. Your drawing is way better than mine." She paused and looked at her sisters. "It is not up for discussing. Yours is better than mine, and that's final."

Lily laughed. “Fine, fine, I won’t fight you on it…” she smiled before looking at Scarlett, mouthing the words “NOT,” as she giggled again. “Anyway…what do you want to do now?” she asked.

Scarlett giggled alongside her sister. She looked up at Quinn, her eyes twinkling in anticipation. Quinn hummed softly as she brought a finger up to her beak. "How about…." She paused as she looked down at Scarlett and smiled. "Why don't we go visit our friends? It's been a while, and I'm sure they'll be happy to see us again." Of course, by friends, she meant the kids at McDuck manor. And there was a person Quinn had been wanting Lily to meet.

Lily cheered as she fell back. “Yeah!” she smiled as she fixed herself. “Oh my gosh, I can tell Webby about the new book I read!” she squealed. If there was one thing that her and Webby had in common, it was books…and love of crossbows. “Let’s do this!”

Scarlett cheered as well and smiled at her sister. "This is going to be a fun day." She paused and looked around. "Though we're going to have to tell Dad and pick up all of this." Quinn grinned as she eyed the papers and markers. "A little bit of magic couldn't hurt could it?" As she finished saying that, the art supplies and papers started floating, and there was a red hue around them. In a matter of seconds, the art supplies and papers had returned to their place. "There! Now, all we need to do is tell Dad we're gonna go out."

(HHHHHHH THEM CALLING ALEX DAD GIVES ME LIFE-)

Lily nodded as she left the room. She peeked her head back in and smiled. “Well, what are we waiting for? Come on!” she laughed as she rushed to the kitchen. Alex was reading a book at the table, having finished washing the dishes.

(They've come to accept that Alex is their dad. And it doesn't matter to them if it's through adoption)

Scarlett rushed to the kitchen, with Quinn behind her. "Dad, dad, dad!" She paused as she took a deep breath. "We're gonna go outside and see some friends. Is that alright with you? I promise we're not going to get into any trouble."

“Of course! Just be careful, okay?” Alex smiled at them before hugging them. “And have fun!” he let go of them and Lily rushed to the door. “No problemo Dad! We won’t be too long!” she called out before leaving. She then waited for her sisters to come out.

Quinn felt happy as she ran out of the house and into the streets. It seems that the outside world always puts her in a happier mood than normal. Luckily for them, McDuck manor wasn't very far. "I know Scarlett promised that we wouldn't get into any trouble, but….I might just barge in into the lab at the Money Bin to give the guys-" Scarlett snorted as they followed Lily. "You're going to give them a heart attack." "Am not!" Quinn responded.

Lily laughed. “Guys, no-“ she snorted before laughing again. “Let’s cut them some slack,” she smiled softly, slowing her pace so she was now next to her sisters. “I wonder what they’ve been doing lately?”

"Oh come on! It'll be fun!" Quinn said with a laugh. "Who knows. There hasn't been any mention of something destroying Duckburg. The last report was about a month ago. So they must be up to something big." Quinn responded with a shrug. Scarlett looked over at her and rolled her eyes. "Aren't you in a group chat with them? Are you saying they haven't spilled anything about their projects there?" "Well, yeah, but…whenever I ask what they're working on, they go suspiciously quiet and don't respond until the next day."

Lily tilted her head slightly. “Well, that’s odd…” she sighed as the manor fell into the girls’ view. “Maybe we can convince them to take a break!” she smiled once more as she rushed towards the manor. “Race you there!”

"Hm, maybe!" Quinn said. She gasped dramatically as she ran after Lily. "Bet you can't catch beat me," Quinn responded with a laugh. As she neared the manor, Scarlett ran faster than her sisters and arrived first. Lily arrived in second while Quinn arrived in third. "Hey, no fair. Scarlett cheated." Scarlett stuck out her tongue at Quinn and knocked on the door.

Lily laughed, wrapping her arm around Quinn. “She’s too fast. We’re outnumbered,” she joked as she waited for someone to answer. She started humming to herself as she looked around.

"Outnumbered, out planned," Quinn mumbled under her breath. The door opened and Webby stood, smiling. "Oh, hey Lily. Hi Quinn and Hi.." She paused as she looked at Scarlett. "Scarlett, was it?" The younger duck nodded and Webby smiled even more. "Anyways, what's up?"
"The sky," Quinn grinned. "But no, we came to spend some time with you all."
Webby's eyes twinkled. "Well then, come in!"

Lily smiled, excited. “Oh, Webby, you should read this book I’ve been reading lately! It’s amazing and it’s right up your alley!” she grinned, walking in. “It’s got magic, monsters, and a lead female character who’s awesome!” Lily rambled, glad that she could infodump about the book. She was very excited when she first read it.
