Duckverse June Week 2: Happy Birthday Day Daisy, Della, and Donald
Okay, now I think I kinda got the hang of this. Anyway, I give you…
Surprise and…Surprise Again!
“So, Mom, Uncle Donald, why exactly did you want us to have a super-exclusive family meeting on the houseboat with just the five of us?” Huey asked.
“I mean, I’m all for exclusivity, but what gives?” Louie questioned.
“I’m so glad you asked, boys,” Donald answered. “Well, Daisy’s birthday is in a few days, and we were thinking of putting together a surprise party for her.”
“There’s no way in he-I mean, heck we can pull it off on our own,” Della added. “So we figured we’d ask you three.”
“We’d love to!” Huey replied cheerfully.
“Between the five of us, I’m sure we could put together something great for Aunt Daisy,” Dewey added.
“Yeah, let’s get the ball rolling on it!” Louie finished.
“Okay, good,” Donald continued. “Thanks, boys. So, who should do what?”
“I’ll try and figure out what the party should be like,” Huey suggested. “I can write out a list of things Aunt Daisy likes, and then go from there.”
“I call music!” Dewey called out. “I can bring back DJ Daft Duck for this one!”
Huey and Louie grimaced, remembering the last time Dewey pulled out his DJ Daft Duck persona at a relative’s birthday party.
“Okay, fine,” Dewey groaned. “I can just as well put something together music-wise just as myself.”
“I’ll do decorations,” Louie added. “Because the party has to look worthy of a fashion designer’s tastes.”
“I’ll work on inviting people!” Della exclaimed. “My sister-in-law is going to have the best da-uh, dang birthday party ever!”
“Honestly, I don’t want it blown too out of proportion, though,” Donald commented. “Maybe just try for semi-immediate family?”
“Semi-immediate family. Got it,” Della reported back.
“Good. And I’ll work on the food and keep track of the gifts,” Donald finished.
“Uncle Donald, don’t you think Aunt Daisy would notice you cooking a lot in your kitchen?” Louie questioned.
“Phooey. Right. I’ll ask Mrs. B if I can use the kitchen here,” Donald reasoned.
“Alright, I think that’s everything,” said Huey, tapping his pen against his notebook. “Oh, this is going to be awesome! Aunt Daisy will love this!”
“Mom, what’s so important that we have to meet in your office to discuss it?” questioned May.
“Well, as you know,” Daisy began, addressing the three girls in front of her, “your dad and Aunt Della’s birthday is next week. So I figured it might be nice to do a surprise party for them.”
“Yes! Absolutely!” Webby burst out. “This is going to be so fun.”
“But how exactly will we pull it off in just a few days?” June wondered.
“We’ll definitely have to put our heads together on this,” reasoned Daisy. “Webby, do you have your notebook?”
“Of course!” Webby replied, rummaging around in her backpack and pulling the sparkly notebook out. “Gotta be ready for anything.” She turned to a blank page.
“Fantastic,” Daisy replied. “So, what can the three of you work on?”
“Ooh, I think I have a general idea of what the party should be like!“ volunteered Webby. “Considering I’ve been researching their family my whole life, I can probably come up with something good. That, and the fact that I’ve gotten to know them fairly well over the past few years.”
“Impressive,” Daisy glowed. “May, June, what about you?”
“I can figure out the decorations,” replied June. “I’m pretty good at making stuff on my own thanks to Junior Woodchucks, and for whatever I can’t do on my own, I can probably find stuff in colors that Dad and Aunt Della would both like.”
“I’ll figure out some of the logistics, like who to invite and where we should have the party,” May added.
“I can figure out what foods they would both want, and go from there,” Daisy finished.
“If you’re thinking some kind of seafood for Uncle Donald, you should probably keep it away from Aunt Della’s array of food,” noted Webby.
“Ooh! Right,” Daisy exclaimed. “May or may not have to end up as sort of a Venn diagram of food, when all is said and done.”
“We can figure it out, though,” May added.
“Oh, I can’t wait for this!” June squealed. “They’re going to love it.”
Huey, Dewey, and Louie were in the dining room, making preparations for Daisy’s surprise party, when Webby, May, and June bustled in.
“Uh, what are you three doing here?” Louie asked.
“What are you doing here?” May shot back.
“I asked you first.”
“Fine,” May grumbled. “We’re putting together a surprise party for Dad and Aunt Della.”
Huey’s face went blank. “Oh,” he said quietly. “Oh, phooey.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Webby asked.
“It’s just that, uh, we were actually working on a surprise party of our own,” Huey replied. “For Aunt Daisy.”
“Yeah, we kinda figured,” June put in.
“What?” Dewey gasped. “But how-“
“Aunt Della already invited us to your party for Mom,” June explained.
“Oh, no,” fretted Huey. “This is not good. If they know we’re having a party, and we know they’re having a party, that means…that means-“
“We could put the two together!” Webby finished.
“Right! Yeah, of course,” resigned Huey.
“Huey,” Webby continued, facing the red triplet directly, her hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry. We can totally merge these two parties together. We’d just have to keep all three of them in the dark to an extent.”
“And we can pull that off,” May agreed. “Right?”
Louie shot a look at Dewey.
“If Dewey can, we all can,” he added.
“Oh, come on,” Dewey argued. “If it’s for the three of them, of course I’ll try and keep mum. With the six of us together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish.”
“Exactly,” agreed June, extending her hand out. “We’ve got this.”
The other five triplets piled their hands on top of hers. “Then let’s do this thing!” Louie exclaimed.
It was finally the day of the party. Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, May, and June had figured out a way to combine elements from each of their parties into one, bigger party for Daisy, Della, and Donald, all the while working with their designated guardians separately so none of the three would know something was up.
Each set of triplets would set up on their own, and then they would convene. Eventually, everyone began showing up. Uncle Scrooge, Beakley, Gladstone, Fethry, even a couple of Daisy’s relatives.
“Okay, I just texted Mom,” Huey whispered.
“And…there. I’ve texted Aunt Daisy, too,” Webby replied. “The three of them are due soon.”
Louie turned off the lights in the mansion. It got very quiet. Eventually, the front door opened, and they all heard the birthday people approaching.
“Okay, we’re here,” confirmed Della.
Daisy was confused. “What’s going on, anyway? Why are all the lights out?”
“Well, you see-“ Donald began.
“SURPRISE!”
All at once, the lights came on. Daisy, Della, and Donald were absolutely floored. The entire room was covered in pink and various shades of blue. All of their loved ones were there. There was a long table laid out with food, including a massive cake in the center. The left half was covered with pink frosting, while the right half was decorated with swirls of light and dark blue frosting.
“What in Selene’s name is this?!” Della exclaimed.
“Well, we actually planned a party for you and Uncle Donald, too,” Webby admitted.
“But then we realized our plans conflicted somewhat,” Huey added.
“So we decided to work together and plan a party for all three of you!” Dewey finished, throwing a bit of jazz hands in.
“What do you think?” May asked.
“I-I don’t even know where to start,” Daisy admitted.
“I’m amazed, kids,” Donald said to his niblings and daughters. “You did all this for us?”
“Of course,” June replied. “All three of you deserve this.”
“Shoot, I think this might be the greatest thing ever,” Della concluded.
Donald and Daisy kissed, and then Della squeezed them both into a hug.
“Happy birthday, you two,” Daisy sputtered out.
“Happy birthday, Daisy,” the twins said in unison.
The three adults went over to the kids and hugged them, too.
“Thank you,” said Donald. “Seriously, this might just be the best birthday ever.”
“You’re welcome, Uncle Donald,” replied Louie.
“Now what are we waiting for?” Dewey questioned. “Let’s get our party on!”
And so the celebration commenced. It made Donald and Della realize just how thankful they were that they were together again, so they didn’t have to celebrate their birthdays apart anymore. And it made Daisy realize just how glad she was to be a part of this big, crazy, loving family.
And the way the celebration wound up happening, the three of them wouldn’t trade it for the world.
