For Every Action, There is an Equal and Opposite Reaction

Chapter 7

"This is fine! We'll be flying again soon!" Dewey told the others.

Suddenly, the plane began to spin around and around, throwing the kids into the wall of the plane.

Luckily for them, however, the piece of the picture was up against that same wall, Dewey reached for it, but soon the plane stopped spinning and they all fell to the ground.

"What just happened?" Webby questioned.

"According to what Mrs. Beakley is yelling about, Uncle Scrooge just blew out an engine!" Louie answered.

"We'll still be able to continue the investigation though, right?" Dewey asked.

"Hopefully..." Webby responded.

They all then walked over towards the adults, only to hear them arguing about safety.

"We seem to have hit some... um... turbulence in the cockpit here! Everything's fine! Please enjoy our in-flight entertainment!" Launchpad said over the intercom while a TV swung down from the ceiling, only being held up by rope.

"Now what?" Louie asked.

"Now that!" Dewey shouted, pointing towards the piece of paper, which was now caught on a jeep.

Dewey was about to go grab it, but then the adults walked up to them.

"We'll use the jeep's engine to jumpstart the Sunchaser's propeller, and we'll be on our way. What could be safer?" Scrooge explained to Mrs. Beakley and Launchpad as they passed the kids.

"Calling for help, climbing down on our own, not starting a car inside of a plane!" Mrs. Beakley responded.

"We've got to get that piece without anyone noticing! We'll need some kind of distraction..." Webby announced.

Dewey and Webby both stared at Louie.

He waited a while before responding. "Fine! Follow my lead."

Eventually, Dewey was on the jeep and trying to get the piece, while Louie and Webby started walking towards Scrooge and Mrs. Beakley.

"All set up here, Mr. McDee!" Launchpad informed them.

"See here, Bentina, I have taken these children on countless adventures, and they have never once had cause to worry about their safety." Scrooge explained.

Suddenly, Louie and Webby walked up to him.

"Uncle Scrooge! We're worried about our safety!" Louie told him.

"Now, Louie, I have always looked out for you. Why worry now at such a potentially embarrassing moment for me?"

"I know we've been in though spots before, but this one seems really tough!"

"Yeah! Usually on our expeditions, there's some kind of curse or villain that you can outwit, but you can't outwit gravity!" Webby added.

"Yep! We gotta go! Now!" Louie responded, still keeping his cool, even though he actually started to worry because of what Webby had said.

"Now?" Launchpad suddenly asked, starting the jeep.

"NO!" Scrooge shouted.

Webby stared at Louie angrily.

"Ha... whoops, probably should've used a different word..." Louie said nervously.

The paper then flew away again and Dewey shouted "NO!" as he leaned forward to grab it. However, he wasn't able to get the paper and instead he just fell off of the jeep, which then drove into the wall of the plane.
