Amnesia - Donald & Daisy

[allfortheloveofyou]

 Compared to Duckberg, any other city in the nation was dull as dirt. That's what Daisy believed, anyway. She loved to read about the daring adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his odd little family, and she often wished she could be a part of it. But that wasn't the life for her, so she'd have to continue her own hum-drum boring day-to-day routine.

... Or at least she was trying to, but her car had, once again, broken down. She had managed to pull over to the side of the road, nearing the very edge of town. She grumbled, getting out and giving it a good kick. "What did I ever do to you!" Daisy yelled at the object that couldn't yell back. This was sadly routine too - her car would start up again, after it cooled down, but for now she was stuck and alone.

"Ugh... why is there never anyone around when I need them?"

Daisy grinned a little wildly. "Memories to find, people to discover, lives to see... this is going to be all kinds of fun, the exact kind of excitement I've been craving! Why, I bet it's more adventurous than anything Scrooge McDuck has ever done."

"...Scrooge McDuck?"

He didn't really know his own name, but somehow that name sounded familiar.

[allfortheloveofyou]

Daisy paused, curious. "I know you don't remember anything about yourself, but have you forgotten about the rest of the world, too?"

[allthebadluck]

He hesitated a moment, not sure how to answer.

"...Maybe? Who is he?"

[allfortheloveofyou]

Daisy could almost laugh. "Only the richest duck in the whole wide world! They had to invent new words just to describe how rich he is! He's always going on adventures with his family to collect more treasure."

She did at least allow a chuckle. "I've always been kind of jealous of him, but then, who hasn't been?"

[allthebadluck]

He tilted his head curiously. "I dunno...sounds kind of intense."

[allfortheloveofyou]

"Well, you'll hear about him whether you like it or not." A wave of her hand, gesturing towards the TV in the corner of the room. "He's in the news almost every other day. Soon you'll be sick to death of him... at least the kids are adorable."

[allthebadluck]

"He has kids?"

[allfortheloveofyou]

"Great-nephews." She held up three fingers. "Triplets! Huey, Dewey, and Louie. How adorable is that?"

[allthebadluck]

He sucked in a breath, and the heart monitor seemed to spike.

Those names sounded even more familiar than Scrooge McDuck's. But why...why did hearing their names hurt?

[allfortheloveofyou]

Daisy was startled at the noise on the monitor, and then swiftly turned her head. "H-Hey, what's wrong? Should I grab a doctor?!"

[allthebadluck]

"I-I...no, I'm fine," he replied, running a hand over the feathers on the top of his head, though he winced as he felt the bump there. "I'm just...tired."

That was believable, right?
