Hey folks, I'm doing another chapter of this fanmake. Ben Suhr, all your guesses are wrong. Sorry. Yeah, DragonMaster77, that was a mistake. I will fix it. All right, time we meet some new faces.

Chapter 4: The Legendary Thundra

As the house continues flying toward, a Red Chinese Dragon and some sort of weird looking person is flying by.

"Ah what a great day of flying, right Mr. Stubborn?" The dragon said to the person riding on his back in amusement.

"You are right. It is a fine day indeed." Mr. Stubborn said with a nod. He may disagree a lot but even this Mr. Man can agree to some things.

"Some peace and quiet, no air planes, and a house with some balloons in the sky."

"A house in the sky?" The dragon and Mr. Stubborn said at once in alarm. Sure enough, there's Scrooge's house all right!

"What the heck is a house doing in the sky?" Mr. Stubborn ask in disbelief.

"You got me but let's see who is home." The dragon suggest as he flew up to the porch of the place. Mr. Stubborn got off and knock on the door to see if anyone would respond.

"Who is it now?" Scrooge ask in annoyance as he goes to the door. First Oopsy, Wingnut and the Freelance Police, now this? The duck open the door to reveal Mr. Stubborn and the dragon outside.

"Mr. Stubborn?" Mr. Grumpy, Miss Chatterbox and Mr. Tickle ask in surprise. They know that stubborn guy anywhere! But what is he doing here?

"You know those 3, Stubborn?" The dragon ask Mr. Stubborn curiously.

"Yes I do. Why?" Mr. Stubborn ask with a frown.

"Hello, I am JJB88 a Red Darkmagician and this is..."

"Scrooge, richest duck and this is my home that is on its way to the Great Valley." Scrooge said to JJB88 and Mr. Stubborn with a frown.

"Hey Mr. Stubborn! How did you and your dragon friend get here?" Mr. Tickle ask Mr. Stubborn with a grin.

"None of your business!" Mr. Stubborn snap at Mr. Tickle. "This isn't a house, more like an illusion."

"Come on, this is a house, Mr. Stubborn." JJB88 said with a frown. "We're standing in it."

"This is cheap!"

"Well, come in, no need for you to stay out when we're landing." Scrooge remark as he allow Mr. Stubborn and JJB88 into his house. "Look, we're on my way to the Great Valley so that I can live there."

"There is no Great Valley, a fake place." Mr. Stubborn said with a frown, much to Scrooge's frustration.

"Mr. Stubborn is always like that, just ignore him." Mr. Grumpy said to Scrooge with a grunt.

"I am not always like that!"

"Hey Mr. Grumpy." Oopsy said as he and Wingnut are looking outside on the porch. The others look as well as the bear ask, "How much longer?"

"Not sure. We are pretty high up." Scrooge said with a shrug. "Probably hours."

Suddenly the group yelp in alarm as they saw something that almost hit the gang. This cause Mr. Tickle to exclaim, "Wow, that's the weirdest building that I ever saw."

"Hey, Mister McDuck, if we run out of balloons, is this house ready for a crash landing?" Hoagie asks Scrooge.

"I don't know about the house, but I am; after surviving a million crash landings, another one can't beat me." Scrooge rolls his eyes. "All that traveling with Launchpad will actually work for something." The gang yelp as the house barely avoid the next object that was in their path.

"What was that?" JJB88 ask in alarm.

"Not sure and Stitch doesn't wanna know." Stitch said with a shudder.

"This can't be, lads and lass. We couldn't been close to the ground yet." Scrooge said confused. What on Earth is going on here?

The gang saw a ground approaching, that means they're going to some cliffs. They gasp while crashing into the said ground causing them to almost fall off. But then the gang feel the vibration causing them to tumble away out of the house.

"Whoa, that was some crash!" Mr. Tickle said in amazement.

"We did not crash. That was a soft landing." Mr. Stubborn said with a grunt.

Scrooge comment, "Well, at least it's a smoother landing than Launchpad could normally provide." The duck and the Freelance Police sat up then they gasp in shock as the house is holding way from the group. "No, wait, Goldie, don't, no, no!"

"He named his house 'Goldie'?" JJB88 ask confused as Scrooge chase after his house in a panic.

"No, that house is where he and his now dead wife lived in. It's special to him." Mr. Grumpy explain to the dragon.

Scrooge saw the hose sticking out from the side of the floating house while exclaiming, "Wait, wait, waaaaait!!" The duck jump and grab the hose. However it begins to unraveled to the end causing him to be lifted. "GAH!!!"

"We better help him!" Miss Chatterbox said in alarm as she and the others run after Scrooge who is being lifted up. They quickly grab him while Wingnut and JJB88, at the end on the ground, does their best to slow things down.

"Don't let go...and don't tickle, Mr. Tickle!"

"You think I wanna tickle at a time like this?!" Mr. Tickle ask in alarm. The group gasp in shock as they saw that they themselves and the house are approaching hard. They all scream as JJB88 and Wingnut pulled hard while clutching onto Stitch who is holding the others tightly.

Luckily for them, the 'ride's topped near an edge those the ones above are looking down with Scrooge, Mr. Grumpy, Miss Chatterbox and Oopsy screaming.

"Stop your screaming!" Mr. Stubborn snap at the group in annoyance.

"Hey, look, Hoagie, nice waterfall over there." Stitch said as the alien saw a waterfall from where he's at on the cliff.

"Forget that. Wingnut, JJB88, pull us back!" Hoagie said to the two at the end.

"No problem!" JJB88 said while Wingnut whirl in agreement. The two grunt as they pull the others back to safely. The group pant and sigh in relief. At least they are all saved.

"Where are we?" Scrooge ask as he look around in concern. The place is foggy and hard to see.

"This isn't the city or jungle, Scrooge." Mr. Grumpy said in concern. The wind blew hard causing Scrooge to hold the hose tightly. He isn't going to lose the last thing that remind him of Goldie.

"Don't worry, Goldie. I've got it."

The group hang on and brace themselves as the strong wind kept on blowing. Soon once it die down, the sun brighten and came through the fog. Scrooge's group look and got a shocking surprise: it's a beautiful waterfall, just like Stitch said! That could mean only one thing.

"There it is..." Scrooge said with a smile.

"Wait, hold on, is that...?" Hoagie begins to ask.

"Ih, the Great Valley!" Stitch said with a grin. The whole group look at the falls below and then at the huge view. It has a lot of flat mountains trees below. This is amazing.

"That is not the Great Valley." Mr. Stubborn said stubbornly. Of course, the others chose to ignore him.

"Goldie, look, it's so beautiful!" Scrooge said as he take the picture of the place that has the house taped to it. The duck laughs while exclaiming, "We made it!" Scrooge show the picture to everyone while continuing, "We made it, yes, we could float over there right now!!"

"I could fly you over there." JJB88 point out to Scrooge with a smile. "It's no big deal."

"Aye, but I wish to do this with my house. We gotta climb up, everyone."

"Wait, you want us to help you?" Oopsy ask Scrooge in shock and amazement. Wingnut beep in question as well.

"Right, no problem. Whatever." Scrooge said with a nod. After all, all he and the others has got to do is get back into the house and float right over to the falls of the Great Valley. Then everything will be perfect!

"All right, I will climb first."

Oopsy begins to climb with the others as they grunt. At one time though, the bear almost slip off of Scrooge when he was trying to climb over him forcing Hoagie, Stitch and the others to let the rich duck go.

"Gah, come on, lad, watch it!" Scrooge scowl at Oopsy in annoyance.

"Sorry." Oopsy said as he grab the hose again and try to climb up. The bear is determined to help Scrooge.

"Okay, lad, when you get up there, go ahead and hoist the rest of us up, right?" Scrooge calls out to Oopsy. However, he notice that something is wrong. Miss Chatterbox and Stitch are chuckling a bit while the others are either stunned or bored. "Uh, Oopsy, lad, are you on the porch yet?"

"I don't think he's going anywhere." Miss Chatterbox said wiht a shrug. Scrooge turn and to his shock, Oopsy is only a foot above him. The bear is trying to climb up but to no prevail. Finally the bear slip and slide down, colliding right into the rich duck.

"Oopsy." Oopsy said sheepishly.

"Curses me kilts! Is this it?! I came all this way just to get stuck on the wrong end of this rock pile?!" Scrooge exclaim angrily. The old duck yell loud enough for his voice to echo all over the place. Sure enough, it's true, the group is on the wrong end of the falls.

"We are not on the wrong end, we are on the right end. Now parked your house and let's go home." Mr. Stubborn said as he prepare to leave.

"Awww, don't be upset, Mr. McDuck." Mr. Tickle said to Scrooge. "The poor bear isn't a good climber." Wingnut whirl in agreement and concern.

"Oh, why me, why me? I am near the falls of the Great Valley but can't go over there." Scrooge said as he pace around in anger while grumbling. Great, to him, his destination is far away despite being so close to it.

"Wait Mr. McDuck, I got an idea. What if we assist you in getting over there, and face it you definitely need some help, Mr. McDuck." Miss Chatterbox begins to say as she got an idea. "If we do so that, would you sign up for Oopsy's badge?"

"What are you on about?"

"I think what Miss Chatterbox is saying that we walk to the falls." Mr. Grumpy said with a nod. "After all, it shouldn't have a few days or so."

"Walk it?" Scrooge ask surprise.

"Well, no duh, old duck." Stitch said with a nod as he looks up at the house. "Weega could weight it down. Meega think you are weighing some pounds."

"Don't push it, alien!"

"Scrooge, I think we should walk over there," Numbuh 2 said quickly as he points over to the falls, "while we hold the house like a parade balloon."

Scrooge thought about this as he look to the house then to the falls. The old duck hate the idea of walking, but then he sigh while saying, "Fine, I guess since I don't have a choice."

"I'm not weighing it down, forget it." Mr. Stubborn said stubbornly while crossing his arms. The others glare at him in annoyance.

-----------------

"Nope, not doing it." Mr. Stubborn said as he tied to JJB88's back, his arms still crossed. Meanwhile the dragon, Scrooge, the Freelance Police. Oopsy and the others are tied to the host that is still attached to the house. With all their weight, that should keep the house from going anywhere.

"All right, we are all going to walk to falls quickly and quietly, so no dancing or anything." Scrooge said to the others sternly.

"No problem." JJB88 said with a nod. After all, any false move would mean Scrooge will lose his house and the duck will end up making one big temper all over the place.

"We got 3 days before the balloons lose their helium." While Scrooge was talking, Oopsy was noting some footprints in the ground as did Wingnut and Stitch. Weird, they have never seen these before! "And if we are not at the falls when that happens, we ain't going over there."

"Hey Mr. McD! We found some sand!" Stitch calls out to Scrooge playfully.

"Darn it all, don't call me that, only my closest friends do." Scrooge snap at Stitch in annoyance. The duck sigh as he look at the duck while saying, "No worries, Goldie, we will get our house over there soon." Inside the house, Goldie's picture wave a little thanks to the imbalance and such.

"Is this fun or what?" Mr. Tickle ask with a happy making Wingnut beep in agreement. "I figure when we finally get there, you would soooo assisted, Mr. McDuck, who doesn't?"

"Yeah. BTW, if we get separated, just use the Care Bear Scout call. Wingnut?" Oopsy ask Wingnut with a grin.

The robot nods as he push a button himself. Soon noises came out of him like, "CAW, CAW, RAWR!" Scrooge and Mr. Grumpy frown as they cover their 'ears' in annoyance since they are near Wingnut who is doing the call loudly.

"Gah!" The two old grumpy people groan in annoyance.

"Don't like hearing, you two grumpy old men?" Stitch ask Scrooge and Mr. Grumpy with a grin. "Hey, sounds like a movie!

"Say, why are we going to Paradise Falls again?" Miss Chatterbox ask Scrooge curiously. The Little Miss has forgotten of course.

"Look, how about a game?" Scrooge ask in frustration. "How about 'see who can be quietest the longest'?"

"Oh wow! My brother loves that game! So does Mr. Quiet amazingly."

"Figures."

The group continue on their way to the falls of the Great Valley, but it appears that each step take them farther away than when they were heading. Still, Scrooge cannot give up of course.

In a jungle, something goes past the place quickly then through a mountain area. Whatever this thing is must be being chased as glowing lights are running. The figure kept on running as it goes through every trap set up for the thing.

Suddenly the figure find itself block by something which is some sort of monster that's growling to it. Just then the figure spot two hyenas appearing blocking the other way. The weird hound like creatures are close to the prey as it back away.

But then the figure jump and leap over the dogs and rush off, causing the predators to go after it. Suddenly a weird noise is heard causing the mutts to wince and whine like mad before running off. Something must have scared them off.

Of course, after the dogs left, some familiar figures arrive as a familiar fat boy is messing with a radio that is giving out weird static. Hoagie frowns while remarking, "Stupid radio! Why must it get so much darn static out here?!"

"Ih, what do you expect out here?" Stitch ask his partner wit a shrug. "I figure the locals speak Spanish out here. Too bad our translator is back home miles away."

"I think the people out here speak Portugise out here." Miss Chatterbox explain to Stitch.

"That radio and explanation are cheap!" Mr. Stubborn said stubbornly. "Now let me down!"

"Not until you agree to pull your weight. Why I hang around you, I will never know." JJB88 said. The group then heard groaning as they turn and saw a tired Oopsy. "Oopsy, come on, hurry up."

"I'm tired and I got a hurt knee." Oopsy said with a groan.

"Which knee is it?" Scrooge ask Oopsy in annoyance. The bear has been whining throughout the trip so far. Oopsy gave out a small pause before continuing.

"My elbow is hurting. I gotta go to the bathroom."

"Oh crooked cucumbers." Mr. Grumpy said in annoyance.

"Oopsy, didn't I asked you about that 5 minutes ago?" Scrooge ask Oopsy in annoyance. The duck has asked the bear if he wanted to go to the bathroom 5 minutes ago, that is true. Now Oopsy wants to?!

"Well, I ddin't have to go then." Oopsy protest. Soon the bear fell to his face as Wingnut beep in concern. "I don't wanna walk anymore. How about we stop?"

"Lad, hurry up or the tigers will get you."

"There are no tigers in South America." Mr. Stubborn said with a frown.

"Come on, what makes you say that?" Mr. Tickle ask Mr. Stubborn puzzled. "Are you being silly again?"

"I am not being silly, Mr. Tickle!"

"Actually he's right, Mr. Stubborn takes zoology and I did traveled all over the world." JJB88 said with a nod. "Though I think there may be some dinosaurs with sharp teeth here and there."

"Arrr, fine, Oopsy, go into the bushes and do your business." Scrooge said annoyed. Well, if the bear wants to go, then the duck can stop things so Oopsy, who should've went 5 minutes ago, can go! Geez!

Oopsy stood up quickly as he gave his bag to the others while saying, "All right, here, hold my stuff." The bear quickly place his rope onto a tree branch while taking out a shovel and some leaves. "This is great, I always wanted to try this."

"Thank goodness we're not looking." Numbuh 2 said with a gagged look. As Oopsy head out into the bushes, the others then place their ropes down to take a little break.

Mr. Grumpy sat down on a branch then he yelp while spotting Miss Chatterbox near him. The Mr. Man, blushing, try to scoot away but she kept going near him.

"Well, it's so nice to be in this place where you don't have to be bothered and you can enjoy the great serene." Miss Chatterbox said with a smile. "Is there anything else you can think that is so nice?"

"Well, uh..." Mr. Grumpy begins to say sheepishly.

"Aye...stop talking." Scrooge said to Miss Chatterbox making Mr. Grumpy frown at that.

"Hey guys, McDuck?" Oopsy calls out from the bushes. "Was I suppose to dig the hole before or after?"

"Lad, that's none of my concern, okay?"

"Oh...before!"

Scrooge groan in disgust, not even wanting to know what just happened that made Oopsy asked that question. The duck cover his ears and hum a bit. Miss Chatterbox, Mr. Tickle and Stitch, seeing this, hums along happily.

"La-la-la-la-la-la..." Scrooge said while humming.

"La-la-la-la-la-la..." Miss Chatterbox, Mr. Tickle and Stitch said humming as well. Scrooge stop and saw them doing that.

"Oh curse me kilts..."

Oopsy sigh as he pat the dirt mound proudly. His 'business' is done, time for him to get back to the others. The bear stop as he saw a footprint nearby. He ask, "Tracks? Gah! It must be a snipe!"

Oopsy look at the trail that is going up a hill in amazement. Perhaps if he were to catch this snipe...

"Here, snipe." Oopsy said quietly. The bear clap his hands while following the trail. "Come on, snipe, I know you're there, little guy..."

Oopsy follow the trail until the tracks ended. Weird, looks like the snipe disappear. The bear shrug as he take a candy bar out, Oopsy has saved that for later. He begins to eat it happily, but before Oopsy can take another bite, he heard rustling in the bushes.

Oopsy turn in concern as he wondering where those noises are coming from. Suddenly a beak took a bite out of his bar just as the bear turn back and gasp in alarm. He turn just as whatever the creature is hid once more. Oopsy lift some branches up. However, unknown to him, the beak appears on the ooposite side of him, biting more of the candy bear.

Oopsy saw this and turn while exclaiming, "Ha! Gotcha!" This cause the beak to hide again. The bear smile, whoever is watching him must be afraid. "Come on, little snipe, don't be scared. I'm a Care Bear Scout, a friend of all nature."

Oopsy, in hope to gain the snipe's trust, show his candy bar while saying, "Want some chocolate, I got more in my bag." The beak then peek out again making the bear gasp as it bit into more of the candy. "Hey boy, don't eat it all. Come on out."

Of course the beak goes back into the bush the moment Oopsy pull the candy bar back. The bear quickly wave it around while saying, "Come on, come on, don't be afraid, little snipe."

Oopsy look around for any sign of his snipe friend, but as he does, the bear did not notice something coming out of the bushes at first.

"Come on, snipe. Good little snipe. Nice..." Oopsy said. He turn and look up as he got a big surprise, literally! "Giant snipe?"

--------------

With the others, Scrooge wince a bit as he was fixing the knot on Mr. Stubborn who finally cave in and allow himself to be tied to a rope to the hose of the house. Mr. Grumpy said, "There, did that hurt, Mr. Stubborn?"

"That way is cheap." Mr. Stubborn said dryly.

Just then Oopsy rush back as he point to something next to them while saying seriously, "Hey guys, I found the snipe!"

"Oh, is that so?" Scrooge ask sarcastically while rolling his eyes, not bothering to turn around at first. Typical, that boy still think he's chasing after a snipe?

"Are snipes tall?"

"Oh aye, they are very tall."

"There are no snipes and they are not tall." Mr. Stubborn said stubbornly.

"Do they got a lot of colors?" Oopsy ask, ignoring what Mr. Stubborn is saying. The bear is all excited about something.

"Aye, they do." Scrooge said with a nod. The duck still did not turn around to see what Oopsy's talking about.

"And do they like chocolate?"

"Oh ay...wait, what?"

Scrooge and the others turn around in confusion, snipes liking chocolate? Suddenly something squawk causing them to yelp in alarm. To their surprise, something did come back with Oopsy. It is a female green rain bird with blue rims on the wings and a long yellow tail and blue eyes. She wears a gold crown with a long green ponytail, blue earrings on the crown, and a Mayan necklace. Her name is Thundra.

The group yelp while Miss Chatterbox calls out, "Oh my gosh, what is that thing?"

"It's a snipe!" Oopsy said happily. Wingnut yelp as he pull the bear away, worried that Thunda may hurt him by accident.

"Boy, that is not a snipe!" Scrooge said in alarm as he glance at Thundra in alarm. Of course, the old duck has never seen anything like her before!

"But you said..."

The bird squawk at Scrooge angrily before grabbing Oopsy and Wingnut, hugging them both and causing them to laugh a bit. Numbuh 2, looking at the Thundra, said, "Well, what do you know? It's a rain bird!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Mr. Tickle ask Hoagie puzzled.

"I read about these things, they oversee the weather of the world, though I heard that they all die out. I guess some must've survive."

"That is not a rain bird. It is a giant overgrown parrot." Mr. Stubborn said with a frown.

"Well, like it or not, that is a rain bird." JJB88 said to Mr. Stubborn with a chuckle.

"I think he likes us." Oopsy said with a smile as he and Wingnut continues being hugged by the rain bird.

Scrooge frown as he got his cane out and try to shoo Thundra out while scowling, "Go on, get lost, go on!" This cause the rain bird to screech at him in annoyance.

"Meega don't think she likes you, Scroogie." Stitch said to Scrooge in amusement.

"What on Earth gave you that idea?!"

Thundra, with a smile, grabs Oopsy and Wingnut making them chuckle, then she jump onto a branch and toss them into the air causing them to laugh a bit. Thundra held by the beak before grabbing the falling two by the legs before tossing them again. Now they landed on her beak before being tossed.

"Hey, you two better be careful, we're still on community service to watch you and stuff." Hoagie said to Oopsy and Wingnut in concern. The robot beep 'no problem' at this as he and the bear fall towards the group before Thundra lift the two up and down.

"Wow, I think he likes us!" Oopsy said with a giggle. Thundra must be nice!

"Well, I get next tossing!"

"Naga, your weight would just crush her." Stitch said to Numbuh 2 making the fat boy frown at him for that remark.

"Oopsy, Wingnut!" Mr. Grumpy said with a frown. Soon the tossing is over as Thundra nuzzle Oopsy and Wingnut making them laugh a bit at this.

"Hey come on, that tickles! Cut it out, ha ha ha ha!" Oopsy said with a laugh. Scrooge frowns as he try to hit Thundra in hopes that she goes away.

"Come on, get lost, go away!" Scrooge scowl at Thundra. Of course, she put Oopsy and Wingnut down and then squawk angrily at the duck. "Whoa!" The rain bird got down from the branch and snap at Scrooge some more. "No, gah!"

"I guess it doesn't like Scrooge very much." Mr. Tickle said with a shrug. After all, Scrooge has been mean to Thundra so far.

"No, she is liking him." Mr. Stubborn remarks in amusement.

Oopsy and Wingnut got down from the branch in time and block Scrooge and saving him while the bear said, "Come on, Kevin, it's okay, it's okay." Thundra of course stop in concern. Why did Oopsy called her Kevin?

"Look, just calm down, lady." Mr. Grumpy said to Thundra with a nod. "Scrooge just had a hard time adjusting to people with him being grumpy as I am."

"Wait, Kevin?" Scrooge ask in shock and confusion.

"Yep, that's what I called him." Oopsy said with a smile making the others look confused. Apparently the bear has no idea that he gave a girl a boy's name.

"That is a boy's name! That is a girl! Didn't you hear us?" Mr. Stubborn ask Oopsy in annoyance. Just then Thundra squawk as she tap her beak to the stubborn man's head making him annoyed. "Ouch, hey!" Mr. Stubborn grabs Scrooge's cane and try to hit her, "Get lost, scam!"

"Mr. Stubborn, give me back my..." Scrooge then yelp as Thundra grabs the cane from Mr. Stubborn. "Hey, that's mine! Mr. Stubborn!"

"That cane is cheap!" Mr. Stubborn said with a snappish tone of voice. Just then they saw Thundra swallowing the stick but is having trouble doing so, making the bird choke. Soon she threw the thing right out. "See?"

"Eeew. Stitch is next, birdie, do Stitch!" Stitch said excitedly to Thundra.

"No, and now away!" Scrooge snaps as he tries to shoot Thundra. "Go on, get out of here!" The bird then smirks as she mimic the duck trying to shoot her away, much to his annoyance. "Go on, beat it!" Thundra then mimic him again. "Oh curses me kilt!"

"I don't think you like him at all, huh?" JJB88 said to Thundra in amusement.

"What can I say? He is a funny little duckie." Thundra begins to speak. This make the others yelp in alarm.

"Gah, did you just talk?!"

"Si, I alway scan! Oh, and little bear? My name is Thundra and I'm a girl."

"See? I told you so." Mr. Stubborn said with a nod. Thundra frowns as she calls down a lightning bolt to zap the Mr. Man, getting him fried in the progress. "That lightning bolt was cheap!"

Wingnut whirl in amazement as Oopsy said, "Whoa, you can talk and you're a girl??? Why didn't you say anything before?"

"I got a sore throat which prevented me from talking, amigo." Thundra explain. "The silly grumpy old duck's stick managed to cure it. Heh heh."

"Oh for the love of McGonagall." Scrooge scowl as he takes his wet cane while going back to the hose. "A rain bird named Thundra who can talk, is a girl and makes fun of me. Great."

Stitch look at Thundra curiously then his eyes widen making the alien say, "Hey I know you now! You're Iago's wife."

"You know my husband?" Thundra ask Stitch in surprise.

"Yes, meega and Hoagie would play cards with him sometimes. So where is big mouth?"

"Well truth is I'm not sure. I haven't seen him since yesterday at lunch. I ask him to get some rare fruit and he hasn't come back."

"Aren't you worried about him?" Hoagie ask Thundra in concern. Perhaps that explains why she was going through the jungle, maybe the rain bird is looking for Iago!

"A little, but it's a long flight to get the rare fruit." Thundra said in concern. "I feel that he might be back by tonight."

"Gee, Mr. McDuck, Thundra is a nice bird." Mr. Tickle said to Scrooge happily. "Can we keep her until she finds her husband?"

"How about it? We can get food for Thundra, walk her and changes her newspapers." Oopsy said with a smile.

"I am a bird, not a dog." Thundra said to Oopsy. "And I must find my husband before..."

"Forget it!" Scrooge snap at Oopsy in annoyed, interrupted Thundra. "We got enough people in this group as it is! We don't need another dragging us down!"

"Mr. McDuck." JJB88 said to Scrooge sternly. "Thundra needs our help, like it or no."

"And the book said that 'A Scout is a friend to all, be it plants or fish or tiny mole'." Oopsy said in agreement.

"That does not rhyme!" Mr. Stubborn snap at Oopsy in annoyance.

"It does, Mr. Stubborn. The motto is in the book."

"That book is cheap!"

"Hey, Thundra, whatcha doing?" Stitch ask as he looks up curiously and saw what Thundra is doing.

"Huh?" Scrooge ask puzzled. He and the others look up and saw, to the Scottish duck's shock, Thundra grabbing one of the balloons and swallowing it. "Gah! Get down, you aren't supposed to be up there!"

Thundra swallow the balloon which pop in her neck causing all the air to come out. The female bird spit the now broken balloon out while saying, "This is terrible fruit, Senor Scrooge."

"Get down from there at once!"

"Fine, have it your way."

Thundra flew down to the ground quickly and stood in a military-like stance. Scrooge groan as he look at the house in concern while saying, "Goldie, can you believe this?"

"Goldie?" Oopsy ask puzzled, wondering what Scrooge is talking about. Miss Chatterbox points to the house making the bear look at it. Realizing now, he smile while saying, "Ooooh, so your house is Goldie."

Wingnut beeps in amazement. JJB88, wanting to help, spoke to the house as he said, "Excuse me, Goldie, all right if we keep Thundra for a while? She can be a good friend to us." A pause, then the dragon smile while saying, "Uh huh, yeah, sweet!"

"Hey thanks!" Mr. Tickle said happily before speaking to Scrooge, "She said for you to let us."

"No she did not!" Mr. Stubborn said stubbornly.

"Don't make me fry you again, stubborn one." Thundra snap at Mr. Stubborn angrily making him glare at her.

"I told them no, uh I mean..." Scrooge yelp as he realize that he's talking to the house like a lunatic before turning back to the others, "I told you all no, NO!"

"SENOR SCROOGE! DO NOT PROVOKE THE ONE WHO MAKES A LOT OF DANGEROUS WEATHER THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD!!!"

"Oh fine, fine, you can come, but if we get slow down too much, you are leaving, got it?"

"See, Thundra? Mr. McDuck is nice. He just need some friendly help and a little tickle." Mr. Tickle said as he tickles Thundra making her giggle a bit. Scrooge groan a bit. This is going to be a long walk to the falls.

The group head off as they grab their lines and continue pulling the house. Hoagie show some chocolates to Thundra as she follow them. The bird sure like that stuff! As Stitch take her wing to help her, Numbuh 2 said, "Well, looks like we got a new pal."

"Why me?" Scrooge ask with a sigh.

Author's note
Well, our pals got a new friend, even if Scrooge think otherwise. More to come so read, review and suggest.

References to Launchpad, one of Scrooge's friends, are made here.

JJB88 is an OC suggested to me by jjb88. Mr. Stubborn is obvious for fans of The Mr. Men Show.

Those who has seen the Aladdin TV series know who Thundra is.
