Your POV

Most of the time on the ship, you and Huey were helping Ford with getting the dimensional translator fixed, but one night, you decided to have a little fun. While you were eating dinner, you asked everyone if they wanted to have a poker night. Stan immediately agreed because he wanted to whip Scrooge's butt at something for once, and Ford and Huey just wanted a break from work.

Since Stan was the most experienced player, you all agreed that he would be the dealer. (Little did he know that you guys hid cameras all around the table just to make sure he wasn't cheating.) Eventually, you all began to play.

"You ever played poker, kid?" Stan asked you.

"A couple of times. I'm not the best at it," You replied.

"I'm warnin' ye, Stan! No good will come of this!" Scrooge warned Stan, eyeing his sleeve.

"Oh, will you just shut up and let us play, Uncle Scrooge?!" Donald shot back. You all placed your bets and looked at each other's cards laid out on the table. That round, (No surprise) Stan was the big winner. All we can say is, everyone was traumatized by his victory dance. 

You all dealt the next hand and played

You all dealt the next hand and played. You now realized that this was a bluffing game. When Stan raised you, you decided to fold and play it safe. No one else did, and when you laid your cards out on the table, everyone gasped.

It was a perfect full house of aces.

"WHAT?! No way! She's full of baloney!" Donald screamed. Everyone reluctantly gave up their bets, and you kept playing. You were on a heater now. Every round, you kept getting full houses.

"I'd expect this kind of luck from Uncle Gladstone, but this is ridiculous!" Louie shouted, and threw his cards on the table and stormed out.

"Well, that's one less hand to worry about," Stan laughed. Finally, after about an hour of playing, you came to the last hand. You decided that your power spell was tearing everyone apart, and decided to make things up to everyone. You pushed the giant stack of chips out onto the table, and everyone gasped. Everybody folded, and when the dust cleared, Stan walked away with everything. You all shook hands and decided it was time to start powering down the houseboat and get some shuteye. 

"Kid! Why didn't you keep all your bets?" Stan asked you.

"Stan, I didn't care about winning anything. I just wanted to have fun and hang out with everyone," You said. He put his hand on your shoulder.

"You remind me of my niece, Mabel," He said. "Well, time to hit the hay!" He slammed the door of his room shut, and you all successfully had had a fun night.

(Btw sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but I'm going to be ending this crossover next chapter. Please let me know if you want it continued in another book! Until then, reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, BYE!!!!!)
