he was a sk8ter boi she said see you later boy (scrooge x magica)

If Magica's older brother had actually been on time to pick her up from school for once, she would have been stunned. With the building almost completely empty at this hour, Magica continued playing on her phone, sitting on a bench outside. She could have easily waited for a bus or called a cab, but truth be told she was in no rush to get home. She hated her home. She hated her family. There was very little she didn't hate.

Still, it was getting a little chilly, and at this rate her phone would soon be dead. She sighed, contemplating calling Poe, but knowing it'd make little difference. He'd get there... eventually, if he didn't have another DUI wreckage on the way there.

She shook her head, trying to dispel her thoughts and concentrate on the phone, keeping up to date on the latest trends and fashions, like a good De Spell was supposed to. As such, she was oblivious to any company that was heading her way.

"I couldn't help it, I had to take a look for myself!" She laughed. "Some things can't be believed until they're seen... and it's going to take me a long time to un-see that!"

"It's a running gag, too. It's like a train wreck: You're shocked but you can't look away." Scrooge laughed.

"I'll blame you if I have any noodle-related nightmares tonight, in that case." She laughed with him. As enjoyable as the sensual stuff was, just being able to relax and enjoy conversations with him was great too. Like they were real friends... and, perhaps now, a real couple.

"Probably just the opposite," Scrooge told her with a smirk. "You've never had Daisuke-san's ramen before."

"High praise, coming from you." Magica smirked. "But I bet you keep it on the down low, so your favorite place doesn't get crowded."

"Honestly, I'd give it more business if I could. I was half-afraid when I came back to Duckburg that he would've gone out of business."

"I make enough to be comfortable," Daisuke said as he returned with their teas. "Though I appreciate the added business."

"And what's the point of making money if you're not comfy?" Magica added, nodding her thanks.

"Not all of us are aiming to be the richest duck in the world," Daisuke said with a smile before heading back to the kitchen.

Scrooge chuckled and shook his head. "I get it, I get it..."

Now that they were alone again... maybe a little harmless flirting would be all right.

"I'm also feeling quite comfortable." Magica said, daring to put her hand atop of Scrooge's.

Scrooge blushed but didn't move his hand away. "I'm glad. This is nice. Not what I expected but nice."

Another score in her favor. Maybe there were a few bumps along the way, but this night was going beautifully.

"I'm curious what you were expecting. I was almost all over you the last time we were... 'meeting'."

He coughed. "I was expecting another business meeting and spending time with you. Getting to know you more and such."

"Well, we can still do that. Minus the business part." She smirked. "So, what do you want to know?"

"Honestly, I'm not entirely sure." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm not all that good at small talk."

"Then I'll go first, with something simple... how is your family?" Hopefully that was safe territory.

"They're great. Mummy and Daddy have been enjoying retirement. Hortense and Matilda work part-time for me even though they don't have to. The castle's in great shape, too."

"That's good to hear." And she meant it, smiling. "I'm not surprised to hear about your sisters... they'd be bored out of their minds with nothing to do."

"Well, Hortense wouldn't be as bored as you'd think." He gave her a grin. "Believe it or not, she's got herself a suitor!"

Now there was a surprise! "Who on earth could handle-" She then cut herself off, wincing. That... had sounded worse than she intended.

"Uh... I mean..."

Scrooge laughed. "No, no, you've got the right question: Who on earth could handle Hortense? Apparently a lad by the name of Quackmore Duck thinks he can!"

Magica exhaled deeply in relief. That had been a close one. "... 'Thinks' he can?" She repeated. "How does Hortense feel about him?"

"She claims that she can't stand him, but she's always so happy every time they do battle. And it is a battle. Quackmore's got a temper that's a match for hers."

"So, one of those types of relationships." Magica mused. She supposed no other type of man would do for Hortense. "May the gods have mercy on them both."

A little chuckle. "And Matilda's not found anyone to her fancy? She always was a pretty one, even in high school."

"If they do end up together and have children, I'll be praying for their children. Hortense can more than handle herself."

In response to the second question, he sadly shook his head. "Her reputation hasn't been the best since high school. I think she's pretty much resigned herself to spinsterhood."

Magica frowned, truly disappointed. "That's a shame... she was always such a sweetheart. She deserved nothing but the best."

Even Magica herself had tried to get rid of those ugly rumors when a jock had slandered Matilda in an attempt to recover his ego after being rejected.
