After the decision to stay in the pageant was made, маргаритка went into the dressing-room to try on some out-fits and insisted that Minnie come watch her. Scrooge sat down outside the fitting-rooms. Then he looked over at Webby and noticed that she looked very unhappy. “What’s the matter darling?” He asked. “I thought Ты сказал(-а) Ты wanted to stay in pageant.”
She sighed, “It’s not that. It’s those mean things that Victoria and her mommy keep saying about us.”
He replied, “Oh darling I told Ты do not pay any attention to what that nasty little kilt nipper или her mother have to say.” Then groaned, “This is the reason why I should never have entered ye in the pageant.”
Scrooge sat there for several минуты thinking about the pageant. He worried about how disappointed Webby would be if she didn’t win. But, if she did win would that just cause her to believe that she had to be a pageant Queen to be beautiful?
Suddenly his thoughts were I interrupted by a very familiar, “Yoo-hoo! Mr. McDuck, that Ты over there?! Of course it is I’d never forget a face that handsome.”
They both glanced over and saw Jane Muddlefoot standing just a few feet away waving. “Hello…um…Jane is it? What brings Ты here?” Scrooge сказал(-а) trying sound as cheerful as possible.
“I’m just here doin’ some last минута shoppin’.” She said.
“Hi Mrs. Muddlefoot. Is Honeybunch here?” Webby asked.
“Yup, she’s here alright. In fact she’s in the dressin’ room right now tryin’ on ‘er pageant dress.” Jane replied.
Suddenly the conversation was interrupted by, “Hey Mama, watcha think of this one?!”
The three of them looked over and saw Honeybunch standing in the entryway of fitting-rooms, wearing a risqué and ill-fitting formal. “Hmm…Well I think it’s mighty cute darlin’. What’d Ты think Mr. McDuck?”
Honeybunch then noticed Scrooge and Webby standing Далее to her mother. “Hi Mr. McDuck, Webby. Nice to see ya’ll.”
“Hello Honeybunch.” Scrooge said, “Good to see Ты too.”
“Hi Honeybunch.” Webby replied
“So Mr. McDuck ya still haven’t answered me, what’d ya think of ‘er dress?” Jane asked
Scrooge studied her for a минута and then said, “Well, I’m no fashion expert, but it does look just a wee bit snug on her. Also I do not believe that a dress that revealing is appropriate for a young lass her of age.”
Feeling confused Jane replied, “But Ты was there at the luncheon, don’t ya remember? Those is the kinds of dresses Ms. Quackson says we otta dress our girls in, if we want to them to even come close to winnin”
“Unfortunately I do not believe that Laura’s true intent was to help the other contests win, but еще to help her daughter Victoria win.” Scrooge explained.
“Well, why would she that?” Jane asked still puzzled.
Scrooge sighed, “I’m afraid that the Lil’ Miss Duckburg pageant it not at all what the constants have been led believe.” Then he sat down in one of the chairs and said, “Come, sit down, and I’ll explain everything.”
Still feeling confused Jane sat down in the other chair. Then Scrooge began to tell her the whole story about Laura, the gossip stories, and the fraudulent cash prize.
Meanwhile in the dressing-room маргаритка was trying on clothes, with Minnie as her audience. “Daisy!” Minnie called, “How many еще outfits do Ты have to try on?”
“Just a few!” маргаритка called back
“Well please hurry-up!” Minnie yelled into the fitting-room, “I’m bored, and remember Uncle Scrooge and Webby are waiting for outside for us!” she got no response.
“What do Ты think of this one?” маргаритка asked as she stepped out wearing a hot розовый leopard print suit.
“Well I’m not sure it’s really you.” Minnie сказал(-а) trying to sound nice, even though she really didn’t think the suit was at all attractive.
“I don’t know” маргаритка said, “I think I need some еще opinions about it. I’m gonna ask Uncle Scrooge and Webby what they think!” Then she darted away toward the area where they had left the others.
Minnie groaned, “Oh Daisy, just pick an out-fit already.” Then reluctantly followed her.
As soon as Minnie and маргаритка came out of the fitting-room they noticed Scrooge and Jane sitting together talking, “Why hello Mrs. Muddlefoot.” Minnie said.
“Well, hi Minnie… right? Who’s your friend?” Jane said.
Without giving Minnie a chance to answer маргаритка сказал(-а) proudly, “I am маргаритка Duck. And what do Ты think of my suit?”
Everyone stared for few minutes, and then finally Scrooge said, “Um…No. Daisy, it’s not that attractive and Ты do not need to charge any еще clothing purchases on your credit cards.”
маргаритка glared angrily at him and started to say something but Minnie said, “Daisy, Uncle Scrooge is right.” Remember Ты have three credit cards you’re trying pay down now.”
Then маргаритка turned away and сказал(-а) angrily, “HMPH! See if I ask your opinions again!”
Hoping to change the subject and stop this from possibly becoming a fight Jane said, “Say, Mr. McDuck’s been tellin’ me that all these years Ms. Quackson been lyin’ to us. Did y’all know about that?”
“Oh yes, we’ve known about it for a while.” Minnie sighed.
Scrooge had been thinking about the unattractive dress worn by Honeybunch, “Say Jane, as I сказал(-а) before I’m by no means a fashion expert, but my Друзья Minnie and…um маргаритка are up on all the latest trends. I’m sure they would not mind helping Ты and Honeybunch pick out a dress.” Then turned to Minnie and маргаритка and asked, “You lassies would not mind that, would you?”
“Oh, of course not, I’d be happy to help.” Minnie said.
“Yes, I’m always glad to Показать someone some fashion tips.” маргаритка said.
“Well, alrighty. It’s mighty nice of ya’ll to help us out.” Jane said.
Once over in the girls formal section Minnie and маргаритка showed Jane and Honeybunch several beautiful dresses. After spending quite a while there, and seeing a lot lovely dresses designed for plus size girls, Jane came to sad conclusion that they were all out of her price range. “Well thanks a bunch for the help ya’ll but, we just can’t afford those.”
“Well, I’m just sorry we couldn’t be of еще help.” Minnie сказал(-а) feeling a little down. "If I could help Ты pay for the dress I would, but I'm afraid it's a little out of my price range also. Sorry again."
маргаритка just shrugged and said, “Sorry we can’t help.” Then she turned to Minnie and said, “Come on Minnie I’ve got two еще Форс-мажоры to try on!” grabbed her by the hand and ran off.
“Again!” Minnie shouted.
After Minnie and маргаритка were gone, Jane сказал(-а) to Honeybunch, “Well, darlin’ I guess we should go back to the dressin’ room and get the one we left there. Least we know we’s can afford it.”
When Jane and Honeybunch came back to the fitting-room, Scrooge and Webby noticed that they didn’t have a dress. “Hey Honeybunch, where’s your dress?” Webby asked.
“Mama сказал(-а) we’re gonna get this one.” Honeybunch сказал(-а) pointing at the revealing formal her mother was holding, “‘cause we can’t afford any of the other ones.”
“Yup, ‘fraid we’s can’t afford those kinds of fancy dresses.” Jane said, “But thanks again for all your help Mr. McDuck.”
Scrooge, looking at the dress that Jane was holding, replied, “Oh my, well that will just not do at all.”
When Minnie returned Главная from shopping that evening, she decided to call Mickey and remind him about the pageant tomorrow, “Hello Mickey, I just called to remind Ты that tomorrow is the день of the pageant.”
“Oh gee… tomorrow.” Mickey сказал(-а) nervously, “Look I know сказал(-а) I’d come. But ya see something’s kinda come up. And I can’t make it.”
“Oh Well I understand.” Minnie сказал(-а) sadly. Then she asked, “But what did come up at the last минута anyway?”
Mickey grumbled something inaudible under his breath. “What?” Minnie asked.
Mickey sighed and сказал(-а) embarrassedly, “Well… when I told ya I’d go to the pageant I…sorta had forgotten that… tomorrow’s the день of annual video-game tournament.”
“Oh, I see.” Minnie сказал(-а) coolly, “Well if Ты change your mind, and decide that you’d like to attend, the pageant will be at the Ducks’ Inn Hotel at eleven a.m. tomorrow morning.” Then she hung up.
That night over at the Quackson house Laura was up late plotting and scheming, how to take Webby down. She finally fell asleep at around three a.m., after deciding that there would be specially picked interview Вопросы and Webbigail would not have a dress to wear.
She sighed, “It’s not that. It’s those mean things that Victoria and her mommy keep saying about us.”
He replied, “Oh darling I told Ты do not pay any attention to what that nasty little kilt nipper или her mother have to say.” Then groaned, “This is the reason why I should never have entered ye in the pageant.”
