They shopped for hours. Going for from store to store in each one Minnie sat outside the dress-room, wishing she were anywhere else. And every time bunga aster, daisy came out of the fitting-room to show-off the selanjutnya artikel of clothing no matter what was berkata about it bunga aster, daisy managed to find something wrong this it. Finally Minnie said, “I think we’ve been to all the stores. Have anda chosen an outfit yet?”
bunga aster, daisy said, “Actually there’s one lebih I’d like to hit.”
“Which one?” asked Minnie.
“McFashions.” replied Daisy
Unbeknownst to Minnie and Daisy, Scrooge and Webby were at the mall shopping for the pageant. As soon as they entered the mall Webby saw a beautiful dress the window of a store. It was berwarna merah muda, merah muda and sparkly with mawar on it. She exclaimed, “Oooh I want that one!”
Scrooge walked over and looked at the dress in the window. Then he said, “Dear we’ve been over this several times, we’re going to look at McFashions first. And if anda don’t find anything that anda like there then, maybe, we can check some other stores. But remember as the owner of McFashions everything there is basically free to me, and there’s no need to buy what anda can get for free.”
Webby looked at the dress again, then hung her head and grumbled, “Okay.”
Meanwhile in the McFashions’ dressing room Laura and Vicky were also shopping for the pageant. Vicky shouted angrily “Why the heck do we always have to toko at this stupid store?! I mean come on, they even have skirts in the boys section!”
Laura replied coldly, “Vicky we go over this every time we toko for pageant dresses. For millionth time, the reason we toko here is because as the assistant manger of McFashions I get a 20 percent discount. That’s the only way I can afford to buy those ridiculously priced dresses. I’m not going to be one those idiots that spends their whole paycheck on them and then lives in a trailer!”
Vicky responded with a bored, “Whatever.”
While Minnie was sitting outside the fitting room, waiting for bunga aster, daisy to come tampil her yet another outfit, she decided to call Mickey. She thought that he might need to be reminded about their tanggal tonight, since he had become a little obsessed with his videogames recently. “Hi Mickey! Are we still on for tonight?” she asked.
“Um, yeah we’re still on,” he berkata sounding very distant.
“Oh good!” she said.
There was no answer for several seconds, then Mickey yelled, “Dang-it I just died!”
“What?!” Minnie berkata shocked and confused
He replied, “I gotta go, gotta save the universe.”
“Well excuse me, I’ll let anda get back to your game!” she berkata angrily.
After getting off the phone Minnie sat there for a while feeling sad. She berkata to herself, “Well that figures, Mickey’s been so obsessed with these games lately.”
Then she decided that she couldn’t stand sitting there any longer. She was tired helping bunga aster, daisy decide what to buy to no avail, and she had to get her mind off of the conversation she had just had with Mickey. If Minnie could have left the mall she would have, but she and bunga aster, daisy had come together in Daisy‘s car. So she got up and started to look around the store.
After finding a few dresses she liked Webby went into the fitting-room. Meanwhile Scrooge sat outside trying figure out the daftar of items that were needed for the pageant. After she tried on the first dress Webby stood in front the full-length mirror admiring herself. She berkata to herself, “I think I look pretty in this. I wonder what Victoria would think if she saw me?”
All of a sudden she heard a familiar, “Hey Weirdby.”
She turned around and saw Victoria stand there. “V-v-victoria what are anda doing here?” she stammered
“Shopping for the pageant, like duh. And you’re here because…?” Victoria berkata arrogantly
“Um… I’m shopping the pageant too.” Webby berkata nervously. “I took your saran and got my uncle to me sign up and…I gotta go!”
Victoria called after her, “Well, good luck.” Then she muttered, “You’ll need it.”
Webby ran out of fitting room. Once outside of she saw Scrooge sitting in the chair membaca the list. She ran over and jumped in his lap. He was concentrating so hard that he didn’t notice her coming. And the big puffy rok of the formal dress she was wearing hit him in face, knocking his glasses to floor.
Back in the dressing room, Laura had over heard the conversation between Webby and Vicky. She shouted, “Vicky, where are anda and who the heck were anda talk to?!”
Vicky yelled back, “I’m over here oleh the mirrors Laura, and was just talking to…”
She was interrupted oleh a sharp, “What did we talk about last night?!”
“Sorry mother.” She berkata haughtily, “To answer your pertanyaan I was talking to Webby. She a really weird girl I met at school this week. Says she’s in the pageant too.”
“Webby, as in Webbigail Vanderquack?” Laura asked curiously.
“How the heck should I know? All I know is she’s weird, and think she lives with her uncle.” Victoria answered
Laura snickered and berkata arrogantly, “That sounds like her. Come dear let’s go welcome the newcomers.”
Outside a blind Scrooge and a tense Webby were crawling around on the floor, trying to find the missing glasses. The whole time they were down on the floor Webby was trying to tell him about the experience she had just in the fitting room. “Victoria was back there, she called me Weirdby again, and then…”
Scrooge trying to reassure her interrupted, “Don’t worry dear. I’ll have a word with that wee devil, as soon as we find my spectacles.”
Webby found the glasses and handed them to him. Then she looked up and saw Laura and Victoria standing over them. She stammered “W-w-well, anda better think of what anda want say quick. ‘Cause she’s here, and I think her mommy’s here too.”
Now able to see again Scrooge looked up, and saw the two them standing there looking down on him and Webby. Feeling a little embarrassed that he should been like this he quickly jumped up and brushed himself off. Vicky started to laugh at him. Laura glared and elbowed her, then she berkata sweetly, “Mr. McDuck, please forgive and forget my little Vicky’s behavior.”
Scrooge replied sharply, “Well I suppose I can forgive her this once, as long as she doesn’t send me darling lass halaman awal crying again.”
He stared at Laura for a few moments trying to place her face. Then thought he remembered seeing a foto of her on the Lil’ Miss Duckburg website. So he asked, “Ye wouldn’t happen to be Laura Quackson, director of Lil’ Miss Duckburg?”
“Why yes I am.” she berkata still trying to sound sweet, “And I would like to invited the two of anda to attend The Annual Mother Daughter Pre-Pageant Luncheon. It takes place in the mall food-court at noon tomorrow.”
Feeling a bit confused Scrooge said, “So… oleh mother daughter I’m assuming ye mean the contestant and her guardian. Otherwise ye would not be inviting Webbigail and me.”
Laura giggled and said, “Oops! I didn’t think about that I guess I’ll have to change the name of it. Anyway it takes place in the food-court tomorrow at noon, the seats are arranged according to the mo… I mean, adults last name so you’ll be at meja M2. It’s highly recommended that newbies come, and bring your coach so she can take notes. Can we count on anda attend?”
Feeling even lebih confused he answered with a simple, “Aye, we’ll be there.”
‘Wonderful.” Laura said, “Now we must be going, goodbye.”
As they left Victoria called “Bye Weirdby.”
“VICKY!” Laura growled,
“I mean Webby.” Victoria corrected herself,
As soon as they were gone Scrooge collapsed in the chair and buried his face in his hands. Webby, thinking that he probably shouldn’t be disturbed, sat down selanjutnya to the chair. They sat there for a several menit without saying anything. Finally the silence grew to awkward for Webby so she tapped him on the shoulder asked, “Uncle Scrooge, are anda okay?”
It took several taps to get him to respond. But finally he looked over at her with very tired eyes and said, “I’m fine dear. But are anda sure that ye want to do this pageant? I’ve read through the daftar and none of it makes sense. Also apparently we need to find a coach for you, and I don’t know where to begin looking for one.”
“Yes, I wanna do it.” Webby berkata firmly
Scrooge sighed, “Alright, let’s go look at some lebih dresses.”
While Minnie was looking through the department store, she was trying hard to keep her mind off of how angry she felt toward Mickey and Daisy. Yet, somehow it seemed like everything she saw reminded her of them. She found herself in the girls’ formal section admiring a dress and thinking, “Oh my, these dresses are so beautiful close-up. Daisy’s right it would be fun to enter a girl little in a pageant.” She berkata to herself
Minnie once again feeling sad, after thinking about Daisy, couldn’t stand to look at the dress any longer. So she turned around and started to leave. But as soon as she started to walk out of the girl’s formal section she heard two familiar voices coming from behind a clothing rack.
“What do anda think of this dress?”
“I think it’s lovely, dear.”
She stood there and trying to place those voices. Then she realized they sounded like Uncle Scrooge and Webby. Minnie wondered, “Why would those two be shopping for formal dresses?”
Minnie curiously looked behind the clothing rack saw them with their back to her examining dresses. “ Hello Uncle Scrooge, hi Webby! What are anda doing here?” she called
A bit startled Scrooge jumped, then turned around and saw Minnie. “Why, hello Minnie. Well, at the moment I’m not really sure what I’m doing anda see…”
Webby, who was eager to brag about being in a pageant, interrupted “We’re shopping for Lil’ Miss Duckburg!”
“Really?!” Minnie exclaimed, “I just cinta pageants. bunga aster, daisy and I watch them all the time! I was just thinking how much fun it would be enter a little girl in one!”
Scrooge, unable to believe his ears, could barely speak, “You do?! anda were?! Um… Well we could really use the help of someone who is knowledgeable about these pageants!” After calming down from his sudden burst of excitement he asked, “Minnie, would anda like to be Webby’s coach?”
“Oh My, I’d cinta to!” Minnie exclaimed
Webby hugged Minnie, and yelled, “ Yay! Thank you, Miss Minnie!
