Lily froze and looked back at Scarlett. Quinn was talking about Magica…right? She didn’t know because she only knew certain things about the sorceress. Lily got closer to her sister as her hands shook.

She let out a painful scream as her eyes opened. She panted as she looked at her sister, surrounding her. She tried to take a deep breath to calm herself down but immediately failed. As she continued mumbling things to herself, she looked at Scarlett and Lily with fearful eyes.

Lily immediately sat in front of Quinn, putting her hand on her sister’s back. “Hey…hey, it’s okay…we’re here…we’ve got you,” she whispered as she made room for Scarlett to sit next to her.

"Lily….it was horrible. She was there, and she kept telling me hurtful things," Quinn sobbed as she put her knees to her chest. She closed her eyes and continued crying. "I'm not sure why I keep denying it. She's right. She's always been right."

Lily rubbed her sister’s back. “What exactly did she say?” she asked, quietly as she pulled Quinn into a hug.

"That I'm not actually good. That I'm living in a reality that's fake," She whispered. "And that she should've killed me when she had the chance." She stopped and looked at Lily. "What if she's right? And what if I've been lying to myself all the time?"

Lily pulled her closer. “What she’s saying isn’t true…you are one of the nicest people I know and I know some pretty nice people,” she laughed a little, running her fingers through Quinn’s hair. “Whatever she says, trust me when I say she’s wrong…”

"T-That's only because you managed to bring yourself into my life. You should've seen me years ago. I was…..well not exactly how I am now." She sighed and wiped her tears. "I'm just tired. Tired of her. Tired of fighting. Tired of the energy inside me."

Lily pulled her closer as she tried to fight back tears herself. “Please…please don’t ever stop fighting…we all love you too much for you to give up now…” she choked out.

(we all know what happens next)

Quinn nodded as tears continued to fall down, no matter how hard she tried to push them away. "I-I…know…." Scarlett held Quinn's hand as she made small circles on it. It usually helped Quinn calm down in situations like these. Quinn smiled at Scarlett and Lily sadly. "T…thank you.."

“No problem,” Lily smiled, hugging Quinn tightly. “Come on…let’s head back,” she whispered.

Quinn only nodded as she watched Scarlett get up and leave the room. After a couple of seconds, she returned back inside and got a load of paper from their desk, and then left once again. Quinn tilted her head in confusion as she turned to look at Lily. "What do you think she's going to do?"

Lily shrugged. “No clue…” she sighed as she leaned against Quinn. “Judging by the paper, maybe she wants us to draw or something?” she suggested.

"Hm, maybe," Quinn replied as she smiled up at Lily. She was glad she had supporting siblings like Lily and Scarlett. "We should go check it out either way. Before she returns and drags us herself" Quinn said with a small laugh. Carefully, she got out of the bed and went to see what her little sister was up too.

Lily nodded, following. “Yeah, I don’t wanna get dragged…” she laughed as she left the room. “Scarlett, what are you doing?”

Scarlett looked up from the paper she was currently playing with. "Oh, nothing much. Just drawing and trying to create a paper crane. Speaking of drawing, would you guys join me?" She smiled at them and giggled. "It'll help us forget….everything bad that's happened to us." Quinn shrugged as she sat down beside her sister. "Yeah, sure. I don't see why not."

Lily smiled. “Sure, that’s a good idea,” she nodded as she joined her sisters, grabbing a piece of paper and some art supplies.

Quin grabbed some paper and some markers. As he started drawing all her fears went away. She wasn't sure what she was drawing, but she just let her hands do all the work. After a couple of minutes, she looked down and realized what she had drawn. It was a picture of Magica. She groaned as she hit her head on the table and tried hiding the paper before her sisters saw it.

Lily was drawing a landscape picture of Duckburg. She was humming a tune as she drew and smiled when she finished. “There!”

She looked up when Lily exclaimed "There!" and looked at her drawing. In all honesty, it was much better than what she had drawn. "Lily, that's really pretty." She said with a slight smile as she crumpled her drawing and grabbed a new piece of paper to start a new drawing on.

“Thanks!” Lily grinned, setting her stuff down. Her smile faded when she saw her sister crumple her own drawing. “Why did you crumple your drawing?” she asked, concerned.

Quinn looked at Lily and laughed nervously. "Oh, this thing? It's just…" She paused. She looked around the room and continued crumpling her paper. "I just messed up. Better to start over that continue, right?"
Scarlett looked up at her sisters with a confused expression. "I guess? You could've just erased it, but….remaking it works too."

Lily shrugged. “I guess so…” she nodded as she leaned back. She was really worried about Quinn but she didn’t want to pry when it was not needed. She sighed.

Quinn smiled slightly at Lily. "It's fine, though. I really want to make something impressive, and the other drawing was meh." She grabbed the pencil once again and she started drawing McDuck manor. She tried her best to draw it as accurately as possible. She hummed a tune as she drew and then colored the drawing in. She passed the drawing to Lily and Scarlett.

“Ooh, this is nice!” Lily gasped in awe. The drawing was very accurate and looked amazing. She then passed the drawing to Scarlett. “You’re amazing at this, Quinn!” she smiled.

She smiled at her sister's compliment. Scarlett looked down at the drawing of McDuck manor and practically broke into a smile. "Wow, sis! This is so awesome. I didn't know you had a secret talent," She said with a small laugh. Quinn rolled her eyes, but it was clear that Quinn felt happy. "I do try my best. But of course, my art can't compare to Lily's. I mean, her art is a whole new level of epicness."

Lily elbowed Quinn softly. “Come on, your art is SO much better,” she laughed as she leaned back. She liked the compliment but she wanted Quinn to smile more. “I can barely remember most of the details of the manor,” she admitted, laughing again.

"I-….no, of course not. It's just that my mind has a fresh image of McDuck Manor, that's all." She took her paper back and looked at it. "Besides, it's not like I did any better than you two. Your drawing is way better than mine." She paused and looked at her sisters. "It is not up for discussing. Yours is better than mine, and that's final."

Lily laughed. “Fine, fine, I won’t fight you on it…” she smiled before looking at Scarlett, mouthing the words “NOT,” as she giggled again. “Anyway…what do you want to do now?” she asked.

Scarlett giggled alongside her sister. She looked up at Quinn, her eyes twinkling in anticipation. Quinn hummed softly as she brought a finger up to her beak. "How about…." She paused as she looked down at Scarlett and smiled. "Why don't we go visit our friends? It's been a while, and I'm sure they'll be happy to see us again." Of course, by friends, she meant the kids at McDuck manor. And there was a person Quinn had been wanting Lily to meet.
