#somewhat based on the ducktales '17 episode Nightmare on Killmotor Hill

[duckapus]

Episode idea: the kids decide to invite Welony to a sleepover, because even though they don't fully trust her yet they've seen that she is taking responsibility for her past self's actions and is trying to be a better person, and anyway they were willing to give Root a chance after All That and are friends with Sage despite her being a currently active supervillain so they don't really have a convenient excuse to not extend a figurative olive branch. Unfortunately, Lil Coding's programming has been acting up a little ever since he recovered from getting Reset(those little bug viruses can do a number on ya), and he accidentally pulls them into a shared dream.

Initially they just use this as an excuse to goof off in a world with no rules and check out everyone's favorite dreams, but things slowly start going awry as little bits and pieces of everyone's nightmares start seeping in.

And then they eventually end up in Welony's dream, a dark, twisted forest made entirely with Majora's Mask assets where a bunch of Skull Kids with watermelon masks start hunting them down. At first some of them think she's doing this on purpose, revealing that she's just as bad as before...until they find the current version of her getting tormented by a nightmarishly exaggerated version of her past self, both verbally and physically attacking her in an...uncomfortably well-acted scene. Thankfully the kids manage to help her fight off her demons by using Dream Logic to their advantage and also having a Big Emotional Honesty Moment, and when they win they all wake up.

The reactions afterward are a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand this is a big step towards the group fully accepting the new Welony. On the other hand, nobody's getting back to sleep tonight.
