Chapter 4

"Miss? Miss are you all right?" a voice said as Opal opened her eyes up.

"Miss are you awake?" the voice said said again.

Opal opened her eyes as she saw a lady, maybe in her late 20's standing up above her. The lady duck had a purple blouse and pink heels. Her hair was white and short and had a big pink bow on top.

Opal frowned. This lady was dressed weird. No one ever wore separate shirts with their skirts.

She began to notice that she was dressed weird. Instead of her brown dress and apron.with a duster, she wore a purple skirt that was up to her knee with gold lining. A white blouse was on her with a red lining on the collar and she wore a purple jacket as well. Her hair was the same. Bushy and whisker like but there was a small purple pin in her hair. Her dime necklace was placed firmly on her neck like nothing had happened to it.

She began to notice some cars zooming around in the city. The cars were nothing Opal saw when she was there?

"Um excuse me?" Opal asked.

"Yes?" the young lady said.

"What day is it today?" she asked nervously.

"Hmm. August 9, 2018." she said.

Opal's mind swirled. 2018? This has to be some kind of joke right? Yesterday was 1914

"2018 you say?" Opal said.

The lady smiled. "Well yes silly!" she stook out her hand. "I'm Daisy Duck. Your name?"

Opal hesitated. "Prud.... Opal Duckpin." she said as she stuck her hand out and shook them.

Daisy smiled and peered at Opal. White hair that was bushy like whiskers and big green eyes? She also heard that this girl sounded Scottish. She looked so familiar but couldn't put her finger on it.

"You look familiar? Have we met?" Daisy asked.

"No ah don't think so miss." Opal said as she rubbed her shoulder.

"Well you seem so familiar. Can I take you for some coffee or a donut maybe?"

Opal looked up. She can't trust her yet. Why was she asleep for so long? Where was she?

"Uh no thank ya but Ah have ta go. Maybe some other time." Opal said as she gathered the box that was next to her and ran. "Thank ya though!"

Daisy looked at the weird young lady. She seemed.so familiar. Why couldn't she see that she has seen her before in a way?
------------------------------------------------------
Opal looked around the city. Big buildings were draped everywhere and people dressed strangely like there was no dress code at all. Instead of crossing guards, there were bright lights in the sky that did the work.

She looked into a store glass window. She looked exactly the same from 1914 except from the clothes she wore.

She tried to cross the street but a horn blazed as she tried to cross. She tried to get across again and another horn blared. She muttered under her breath as she decided to walk along the sidewalk.

Her stomach growled as she looked up. There were places to eat everywhere! Cafes! Restaurants! Everything! She went inside a bakery and got a free loaf of bread which she ate it all up.

People pointed and whispered at her as they knew something was up. She roamed the streets again as she knocked into Daisy again.

"Oh um Daisy!" Opal said as she looked at the duck.

"You're not familiar here aren't you?" Daisy said as she looked at Opal.

"No ah'm not." she said.

"Well I think I know someone who can might help you. My boyfriend's uncle, Scrooge McDuck, could give you a job at his money bin or he could use another housekeeper at his mansion..."

Wait people can own mansions now?

"He's nice when you get to know Scrooge. He's stubborn but a great uncle."

Opal nodded as she looked around. Until she can get up on her feet, she could use a small money boost.

"Thanks Daisy. Can you send me the address to the mansion?"

Daisy nodded as she scribbled down and address that was not that far from the city.

"Thank ya a lot Daisy." Opal said as she ran down the streets and to McDuck manor.
------------------------------------------------------
She looked in awe at how big was the manor. All her life, she was used to small things that she can get used to. Maybe the housekeeper job can teach her around here. She was only seventeen but she could make it work.

She knocked on the door and a woman, maybe late 50's or early 60's was at the door. She wore a purple jacket and a grey skirt. She was build and buff she knew what to do.

"Oh no not this time O'Gilt!" the housekeeper yelled as she lunged towards Opal.

O'Gilt? Wot was that supposed to mean?

Using her instincts, she blocked the housekeeper's punch and ducked. She did a backflip and used a jacket near the doorway and tied her up.

"O'Gilt you can't get away with this!" she yelled.

"Wot are ye talking about! Ah don't know any O'Gilt!" Opal yelled as she approached the housekeeper.

The housekeeper, for once, looked closely at the young woman. Her eyes began to widen. She was, in fact, not Goldie O'Gilt but she did resemble her.

"I'm sorry." she said. "I'm Bentina Beakley the housekeeper here. Pardon me by my actions miss........"

"Duckpin." Opal said, beginning to untie her.

"Yes. Now what brings you here to McDuck Manor?" Beakley asked. 

"Well Ah'm looking for a job here and a friend told me Ae could get a job here or at the bin. Ah'm new here so Ah don't know my way around yet. Seems different from where Ah was from." Opal said.

Beakley smiled. "I could tell your roots are from Scotland. Don't worry, I'll see if he has any positions opened."

Opal nodded as she sat down in the foyer on one of the silk couches. She heard screams of terror and girls voice, laughing.

They came down stairs. Three boys, triplets she guessed, one dressed in red, one blue, and the other green, were running. Their eyes full of terror as a girl their age came by, wearing a monster mask and held a club?!

"Webby stop!" the red one said.

"Until I get you Huey! Until I win!" Webby said.

"No seriously we have to stop now. There's someone here!" the green one said.

The girl... Webby looked up at Opal. Opal smiled crookedly like Scrooge did.

"I'm so sorry about Webby here. She can get carried away sometimes." the blue one said, pointing at Webby.

"Hey!" Webby said.

"Anyways....." the green one said but stopped as he began to look at her green eyes and began to taunt. His brothers began to join in.

"Ooooooooo!" they said in perfect harmony.

"We know that's you Goldie! Not even a disguise can fool us!" Huey said.

"Yeah. If you wanna see lover-boy here tough luck. He left an hour ago." the blue on said. 

"Wot are ye talking about! First this lady named Daisy said ah look familiar and now you boys say I'm this "Goldie" and ah don't even know who she is!" Opal said, tossing her head back.

The boy's eyes widened. She proved she was not Scrooge's lover but she looked in a way like her. As they saw her hair and when they remembered the way how she did smile. The baby in the picture. They gasped.

"You're that baby in the picture!" the green one said.

"It would be helpful if ya just gave me yer names." Opal said.

"Huey's in red. Dewey is in blue and Louie is in green and I'm Webby!"

"Thanks but what do ye mean by baby in the picture?"

"Well there was this picture that our grand uncle was showing us and it was a picture of him, his girlfriend and a baby that looked exactly like the both of them." Dewey said.

"And pretty much, we think you're that baby in the picture." Louie said.

Opal felt queasy. Her parent's can't be alive. Either their grand uncle/her possible father made it past his 150th birthday and is super old or fell asleep like her and woke up young again.

"Ah'm sorry but ah can't be that baby. My parents must have been dead years ago. Ah was taken away as a little girl." she said.

"Well he and his ex did make it past. Something about a timeless dimension and a fountain of youth." Huey said.

"But they can't. Ah have proof."

Opal began to take out her dime necklace and found the latch. The necklace opened up and the pictures of the man and woman came up.

Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby all huddled over and gasped.

"Yep you are that baby we saw." Louie said.

"But they're dead. It's impossible for them to be alive!" Opal yelled.

"McDuck temper, O'Gilt eyes, O'Gilt cleverness and McDuck looks!" Webby said, excitedly. "She has to be it!"

"Okay then! If yer so smart then prove that they are both alive!"

Louie began to pull up his phone and scroll through his pictures.

"Annnnnndddd there. This should do the trick."

Huey and Dewey looked around.

"How did you get that!" Dewey asked.

"You have to be an expect to catch things on time Dewford." Louie said, shrugging.

He pulled up a picture of Scrooge and Goldie, both at Glomgold's gala. Both teasing and laughing.

They didn't look like over a 100 but more like their late 40's, maybe even younger then that. Goldie's eyes glittered and Scrooge smiled.

They looked exactly like the people in the necklace.

It was confirmed that Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O'Gilt..... Were her actual parents.
