Louie's POV

I woke up to the bright sun shining on my face through the window. I figured that it was morning after looking around. Then I just realized that I have the most refreshing sleep in my entire life. I wonder how that happened...

As if on cue, I felt a chill down my spine and I looked down at my shadow.

There she is.

I immediately smiled after seeing Lena in my shadow. "Good morning." He greeted. Lena waved hello at this while smiling.

I also started to realize that nothing major is happening right now... That means today is my break day! And even better, I can spend it with Lena! Yaaay!

The mere thought of this makes my heart melt. Then I thought about what to do.

I feel like watching TV at the living room again...but I want to make today a special day between me and Lena.

Then I decided to go outside. I walked out of the room and to the front door. When I walked past the kitchen, I noticed Dewey and Webby talking to each other happily. I glanced down at Lena and she nodded happily. She agreed that they make great besties too.

I took one last look at the kitchen and I noticed that Webby gave me a thumbs up. That's her way of saying that she's happy for me being partially reunited with Lena. That made me smile as I walked away. I heard Dewey say to Webby, "Who are you giving a thumbs up to?" I chuckled to myself. He has absolutely no idea...

After I walked out through the front door, I walked down the porch steps and sat outside on the grassy front yard. It's the month of May, so a large variety of flowers grew on the front yard. And today is a sunny day.

Perfect weather... Why do I have a feeling that something sweet is about to happen?

Then a green tulip grew next to me. I saw Lena pointing at it and smiling at me. I think she wants me to take it. So I grabbed it and all of a sudden, Lena gave me one big hug.

Whoa! That certainly came out of nowhere...but it sure felt good. And it feels so refreshing too! Today was a hot day, so...

I heard a giggle as she stopped hugging me and my shadow went wild, moving all around the flower field. I watched the whole thing in surprise.

Ok, what kind of powers does Lena have? Because she is definitely surprising me with this bombastic show of her powers!

Then my shadow returned back to my my side and I looked around. I gasped loudly. It turns out that she grew roses around me...in a shape of a heart!

Does Lena really love me that much?

"Yes..." I heard a voice in my head. Then I felt a kiss to my cheek. That made me blush super hard. Then I realized that Lena can hear my thoughts.

Wait, you can hear me? I thought in wonder, hoping to get another response.

"Of course I can... I'm a shadow person, remember?"

Oh my gosh, that's so cool! I thought as I grinned goofily. I heard Lena giggle.

"Agreed... So what should we do now?"

Hmm... Let's dance. I thought while smiling suavely.

"Dance? How? You do realize I'm still a shadow, right?"

Well, just take my hand and we'll start. I thought as I stretched my two hands out. I felt two other hands touch mine. From the reluctant touch, I can tell that Lena is shy. Then I suddenly saw a blue shadow in front of me. I can definitely tell that it's Lena.

It's going to be ok, Lena. It's actually pretty fun—and sweet—to dance with the partner you love the most. I thought reassuringly.

"Well, ok... If you say so."

I can't tell, but I have a feeling that Lena smiled. Then all of a sudden, I got spun around. Everything is all a blur...until Lena stopped spinning me and now we are just holding hands while dancing together.

Dewey's POV

After breakfast, I decided to take a break day too and I sat with Webby on a couch. Since we both love adventure, we discussed about our previous escapades...until we heard Louie whoop and holler in excitement. We walked to the window and looked through to see Louie dancing...with a blue shadow that vaguely looks familiar.

Webby squealed after she saw this sight. "Dewey, this is so sweet! Louie is dancing with Lena!" She beamed. "Wait, what? How?" I questioned. "Well, their bonds are beginning to build... That means they can make contact too! And I bet they had some sort of telepathic conversation too!" My bestie Webby explained.

...Yeah, I still have these thoughts. I don't mind them at all anymore though. I enjoy them.

"Really? That's awesome!" I replied happily. Webby looked out at the window as she said, "And it looks like they are going for the grand finale!" I looked out at the window too to witness more of this...

Louie's POV

A few minutes of dancing later, I hugged Lena's waist. "Ooh, I bet you're starting to enjoy this more and more, aren't you?" I heard her voice in my head.

You bet! Let's go for a big finish, shall we, my dear? I thought in a romantic way.

"Yes, let's!"

Then she spun me around again and she pulled me into a tango. I blushed lightly at this while smiling...but I definitely didn't expect the next action that Lena did.

She leaned down for a kiss...but not just any kiss. It's a kiss in the beak.

Therefore, I remained still as Lena kissed me. Of course, my blush became more prevalent on my face.

This is literally the most shocking thing I have ever been through...and I love it.

After that, she stopped kissing me and she returned to my shadow. I fell down onto the grass, feeling very dazed and happy.

And I remained that way...until Uncle Scrooge walked out of the front door and he said, "Louie! Come inside! I have an announcement to give to you kids!" I got up and I looked at Scrooge. "Ok." I simply said. Then I went inside with him.

A few minutes later...

I sat down with my brothers and Webby on the couch. We looked at Uncle Scrooge, who is at the front at the living room, and he is teeming with excitement. "Kids, I have finished making the plans for a world trip! We will go to five locations on this trip!" He announced.

"YEEEEAAAH!" Webby and my brothers cheered. I'm not really a big fan of adventure. "Another travel outing? Hoo boy..." I groaned. Scrooge wasn't done yet though. "There will be five treasures at those locations. These treasures are connected to each other. If we collect all of them, maybe something amazing can happen!" He said that in a way that he knew that this will convince me to go on this trip with my family...and he's right.

"Treasure!?" I exclaimed excitedly as I jumped out of the couch. "We should get ready to go!" Huey rolled his eyes, Dewey smiled cheekily, and Webby said this while giggling, "Typical Louie..."

However, Scrooge isn't unfazed. He's still genuinely smiling. "Exactly! Pack your bags, laddies, because after that, we're going on the world trip!" He replied.

A few hours later...

I'm just sitting on the plane, looking at the window. Launchpad is flying the plane, as usual. The others are just doing their own thing.

Well, I'm bored. Might as well watch videos. I thought as I took out my phone.

I watched the video about ducks screaming while making a quack sound. It sounds crazy, but trust me, you're gonna love watching this.

After I watched this video, I laughed out loud.

Wowie, this video is super funny! I can't even stop laughing! I thought while still laughing.

"I know, right? That video definitely busted my gut." I heard the voice said while giggling. My heart starts to brighten up after realizing who this is.

Oh hey, Lena! I didn't realize you were here, hehe. I thought while chuckling.

"Of course I am. I'm always here, for obvious reasons." Lena responded.

I noticed that there's an empty seat next to me and I patted it.

Well, why don't you come and sit over here so we can watch more videos? I offered.

"Sure! That would be splendid." Lena accepted and then a blue shadow is sitting next to me now. I grinned as I hugged her and she hugged back. After that, we continued to watch more videos. I didn't notice that Dewey is watching us with a smile...

All I can say is, that adventure will be the biggest one yet. I mean, five locations!? I'm not sure I can handle all of this. It's a good thing that I have friends and family who can help me out throughout this adventure. Not to mention that I also have my lovely Lena who can help me stay happy and motivated. Really, I do love her so much. And I can tell that she has the exact same sentiments towards me.

And as for the adventure itself? Well, here we go again!

(I think my heart just melted after writing this chapter. I feel so happy and accomplished for finishing the new chapters twice today. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy and I will see you later! ^^)
