The big Mistake
Chapter 1:
The scene is a late rainy night in St. Canard it's been a long and busy past couple of days. Gosalyn 17 and Honker 18 are in a hotel room together. Honker is holding her tight in bed and kissed her and passed out. Gosalyn looked depressed as she looked at the ring on her finger.
She got up from the bed and headed over to the window and looked out.
A lot of thoughts have raced through her head. Of her dad kicking her out of the house, breaking a guys heart that she really cared about to be married to Honker. She never saw her dad so disappointed and hurt before.
'Boy did I get into a big mess. I didn't want any of this to happen. But what was I supposed to do. Honker's been my best friend since we was kids. And if I could do anything to help him. I would do it in a flash. But at what cost? My dad hates me, told me to never come back. I broke Casey's heart. I was starting to fall in love with him. To get married with Honker?! What was I thinking?' She thought to her self.
Gosalyn's voice came out as she went back to bed and laid down.
"Alright you're probably wondering what is going on here. No I'm not pregnant. Thank goodness for that. I did get married with Honker, got kicked out of my house and now I'm broke and alone. I should tell you from the start. It all started at the beginning of the senior year of high school. I decided that it was best for me and Honker to just be friends. Yeah it broke his heart. We had been dating all through high school. And I wanted to just be friends so we could still have good feelings between us and not have the whole heart breaking scene at the end of the school year. He didn't take it too well. Weeks before spring break he couldn't handle it." Gosalyn said.
Flash back to 3 months ago..
Its weeks before spring break and Gosalyn is walking in the hall way of school.
"Man, only two more weeks before spring break!!" She exclaimed.
She arrived at her locker and Honker spotted her, he still wants her back and will do anything to get her back. And I mean anything!
"Hey Gos."
She turned and smiled at him. "Oh hey Honk! Can you believe that it's almost spring break?"
"I know. Got any plans?"
"Oh yeah. The girls plus Tank and I are going to the beach remember?"
"Yeah. I remember. I can't believe that Tank and Misty are still together?"
"Tell me about it. I never thought that my best friend would go out with you're brother. Are you sure that you don't want to come too?"
"Nah, I don't.."
Just then a close friend of Gosalyn's Casey came walking up to her. They have been getting close lately. Which is totally getting to Honker.
"Hey Gos, guess what?" Casey asked.
"What Cas?"
"I just found out that my family and I are going to go to the beach too!"
"No way! Maybe we'll see each other."
"Maybe." Casey said.
Honker was feeling like the left man out. And just looked at the ground.
"Ahem." Honker said.
They looked back at him. "Oh hey Honk. You going to the beach too?" Casey asked.
"Nah, he has something else to do." Gosalyn replied.
"Oh, that's too bad. So Gos, are we still on for tonight?"
"Yup."
"Cool. See you later."
Gosalyn waved and smiled at him.
Honker glared at him and back at her.
"What?" Gosalyn asked.
"So you and Casey going out huh?" Honker asked.
"It's not a date. More like a double date with Tank and Misty. And why does it matter to you who I date?"
"It always matters. I'm not the one who decided it was over. I will always love Gos. You know that."
"Honk, we've been over this a hundred times! I wanted us to remain friends that why we can just get along this year. It's been 8 months you need to let it go."
She closed her locker and walked away, Honker shook his head and sighed. He didn't agree with her reasons why she called it off and now she's going to go out with Casey? He didn't like it one bit.
At the gym they're having a career day and everybody is there.
An army sergeant walked up to them. "Are you kids interested in joining the army?"
They paused and looked at each other and laughed. "Thanks but no thanks." Gosalyn said.
"Yeah, nothing personal but it's just not our style." Casey said.
"You couldn't handle me." Misty said as she made fire appear from her fingers.
They walked away and he stopped Honker. "How about you solider?"
"Who me? I'm not army strong."
"But we can make you strong. And it also helps with the ladies."
"It does?" Honker asked.
"Oh yeah. The girls will be putty in you're hands when they see you in the uniform."
Honker paused and day dreamed about Gosalyn all over him.
"Oh Honk, I don't know why I ever dumped you. I love you!" She said kissing him.
He shook the thoughts out of his head got looked at her talking to Casey.
"Sorry, but I think it's a lose cause."
Dave the army sergeant took out his card and handed it to him.
"Here, take my card incase you chance you're mind."
Honker grabs the card looks it over and shoves it in his pocket and takes off with the others.
"What was that all about Honk?" Gosalyn asked.
"Uh… nothing." Honker replied.
Gosalyn could tell that something was up with Honker. I mean heck they have been friends since they was 9 years old. And it's not like Honker to keep stuff from her. But she just shrugged it off and walked along with Casey.
Later that night Gosalyn and the girls are at the Mallard home getting ready for the double date.
"So are you excited about tonight?" Gosalyn asked.
"Ha! Tank is such a dead beat I don't know why he wants to go. I guess all of his other girls are busy for tonight." Misty said.
Tank has a history of cheating on Misty, she knows about it too. They're not dating but they're dating. It's a long complicated relationship. Like Morgana and Drake's relationship. They fight all the time.
"I don't know why you're still with him Misty. You can do so much better then Tank Muddlefoot." Gosalyn said.
"Yeah, I know. But we're just having fun. No strings attached, we can date who ever we want. It's the way everything should be. No commitment."
"Then why do you get so upset when you see him with an other girl."
"Because they're a bunch of blonde bimbo's."
"I think it's so weird that Tank is going out with you guys and not Honker." Rosie said.
Gosalyn paused and looked down.
"Well Rosie, you can call him up and ask him to be you're date." Misty teased.
Rosie looked over at Gosalyn. "Gos?"
"Personally, I think it will be a little strange if you invite my ex boyfriend along. That would hurt Honk. I'm trying to be the nice person about it. But if you want to ask him out. Then go for it."
Rosie thought about it and shook her head. "No, I don't want any bad energy around us."
At the Muddle foots house..
Honker is in the living room doing his home work when Tank walked in and threw a tennis ball at his head. Tank is 20 years old, a real player.
"Ouch!" Honker cried.
Tank laughed and threw it at him again.
"Tank! Knock it off! I'm trying to do my home work here."
"Home work on a Friday night? Man, you really don't have a life do you? Betcha it hurts that Gosalyn is dating Casey. Which means she's totally over you. Isn't it funny that they thought that you two would last and my relationship with Misty wouldn't. And look what happened. You and Gosalyn are finished and I'm still with Misty."
"Big difference their Tank. Me and Gosalyn had a true relationship. While you and Misty have uh.. what do you call it? Playing the field? But you two always seem to end up together."
"True, but I'm still with her. And you're here alone doing home work." Tank teased/
Binki walked in with Tank's shirt all ironed.
"I ironed you're shirt dear."
"Thanks ma." Tank said grabbing the shirt from her.
"I am so glad that you and Misty are dating again. She seems like a nice girl."
"What ever. I'm bored tonight. Nothing better to do." Tank said.
He grabs the ball and hit Honker's head with it again.
"Bye loser. I have to get ready for my date."
Tank walked to the stairs and up to his room.
"Honker, why don't you go along with you're brother."
"Because mom, it's a double date with Gosalyn and her date Casey. It would be too weird."
"You sure? I heard that her friend Rosie doesn't have a date."
"No! She's Gosalyn's best friend!"
"You sure?"
"I'm going to finish my home work up in my room."
Honker grunted and picked up the books and headed up to his room.
30 minutes later..
Honker is up in his room looking out the window as he watched everybody get in Tank's car and drive off.
'I can't just sit here.' He thought to himself.
He closed his books and grabbed his car keys and ran out of the room.
In the car Tank and Misty are fighting as usual about the radio.
"Woman! Will you stop playing with my radio!" Tank exclaimed.
Misty paused and used her magic to play with the radio again.
"What? You know that I don't like to listen to you're crap!"
"It's my car! My radio! My choice!"
They started to mess with it again and finally it blew up!
"Oh, way to go Misty! You broke it!" Tank exclaimed.
"Me?! I'm not the one who plays that crap. If anything you should be thanking me for putting it out of its misery."
As they fought with each other Gosalyn and Casey are just sitting there watching them fight.
"Man, they fight like cats and dogs." Casey whispered.
"I know." Gosalyn whispered back.
Misty looked back at the laughing twosome. "What are you two laughing about?"
"We're laughing at you two." Gosalyn said.
"What about me?" Tank asked.
"There laughing at how wrong you are and how right I am." Misty replied.
"I think they're laughing at you Miss delusional." Tank said.
"Me delusional? I'm not the one who thinks that Miss St. Canard has a thing for me."
"She does. She winked at me."
"Uh huh sure she did Tank." Misty said.
Casey smiled at Gosalyn and winked at her. "You look great Gos."
She blushed and looked down with a smile. "Thanks."
Honker is driving a few cars behind them., He couldn't stand that Gosalyn is dating some other person. He's meeting Rosie up there so he can be apart of this.
They pulled into parking lot and got out. They're eyes widen as they saw Rosie standing there.
"Rosie? What are you doing here?" Gosalyn asked.
"I'm here with Honker." Rosie said.
That took Gosalyn off by guard. "Oh, really?" She replied.
Tank laughed at that. "Figures that he would do something like this."
Misty elbowed him in the side. "Ouch! Woman, what was that for?"
"Watch it!" Misty said.
Honker soon pulled up next to Tank's car and ran to them.
"Hey Honk. I didn't know that you was coming." Gosalyn said.
"Well I heard that Rosie didn't have a date either. So I just thought why not. Is that okay?"
She shrugged. "Yeah, sure. The more the better."
"Then let's go." Honker said.
They all walked inside and got into line for the tickets. Tank and Misty was up first, he looked at Misty and smiled.
"Let me guess, you don't have any money." Misty said.
"Must been in my other wallet."
"Fine, what ever. I'll put it in you're tap." Misty said.
She grabbed some money out of her bat shaped purse and walked up.
"One adult and dead beat for the scary movie."
The lady chuckled as she handed the tickets to them.
"Thanks babe." Tank said with a smile.
Misty rolled her eyes at that. "I told you never to call me that."
They stepped out of the way and Gosalyn and Casey are next.
"Two for the scary movie please." Casey said handing her the money.
They got their tickets and stepped aside Honker watched as Casey put his hands across her back as they stepped aside and stepped up to the counter.
"Two for the scary movie." Honker said.
They got their tickets and headed inside.
Inside the theater they're all sitting down Honker could only watch as Casey was talking to Gosalyn as the movie started.
When the lights went out and the movie began when ever Casey would make a move on Gosalyn Honker would interrupt them.
"Psst Gos, can I have some of you're pop corn?" He asked.
Gosalyn just handed him her box and went back to Casey and giggled.
Rosie was in between her and Honker and didn't feel right being there.
"Honk, you know I have pop corn that you could have." Rosie said.
Honker ignored her and kept bugging Gosalyn and Casey during the movie.
The final straw was when he spotted Casey and Gosalyn holding hands, he just got up and walked out of the theater.
Tank spotted him and chuckled to himself.
'He's not getting away that easy.' He thought to himself.
He also got up and headed out Misty watched as he walked away and rolled her eyes.
'Great, he ditched me! Well for his sake I hope he's putting on more mouth wash' She thought to her self as she took a sip of her pop.
Rosie feeling like the third wheel didn't want to stay here any more.
"Guys, I'm so sorry. But I'm going to head out." She said.
Misty and Gosalyn looked at her surprised and knew that she was hurt. "You don't have to Rose." Gosalyn said.
"Yeah, stay." Misty said.
"Nah, I feel like the third wheel here. Since Honker took off like that."
"Oh okay, we're not going to make you stay. If you don't want to." Misty said.
"Thanks, see you tomorrow."
Rosie got up and walked out as well.
Misty watched as she walked out and just got a bad feeling about something.
"I'll be right back. I'm going to check things out." Misty replied.
She also got up and headed out and Casey and Gosalyn look at each other and smiled.
"Just the two of us."
Honker is about to walk out when Tank stopped him.
"Hey dork."
Honker stopped and turned to him. "Tank, please just let me go."
"Are you kidding? You just ditched you're date. You think that I'm actually going to let it go? Yeah right."
"I didn't.."
"This is so pathtic Honk. When ever I ditch my date I try not to let anybody see me do it. But you let everybody see it. What a dork!"
Misty comes walking out of the batch room and sees the two some talking and moaned.
"I should of known that Tank was behind this. Why else would he ask me out tonight." She said.
As they are talking they got zapped against the wall by Misty.
"Ahh!" They exclaimed.
Misty came flying towards them with glowing red eyes.
"I should of known!" Misty exclaimed.
"Misty.. I.." Tank said.
"SAVE IT TANK! I knew that they're had to be a reason why you asked me out tonight. And Honker you used her best friend to try to make her jealous!"
"It didn't work."
"Yeah, I wonder why! You just ignored her to try to get to Gosalyn."
Tank laughed at this and she turned her attention back to him.
"What are you laughing about? You probably set this whole thing up!" Misty exclaimed.
"Oh no. Don't go blaming this on me. This was all his idea." Tank said.
"Why would I believe anything that you say? Everything that comes out of you're mouth is a lie! Honker, you know better then this!"
"Misty, I.." Honker said.
Misty sighed. "I don't have time for this. I'm going back to the theater."
"Good idea Mist." Tank said.
Misty pulled away from him. "I need a 10 foot radius from you Tank."
She stumped away and Tank glared at Honker.
"Gee thanks dweeb! You got me into trouble!"
"Sorry."
Tank slapped Honker across the head as he walked away.
Honker sighed and headed out of the door.
Misty walked back to her seat angry.
"Mist, are you okay?" Gosalyn asked.
"Oh yeah, just peachy." Misty said.
Tank walked inside and sat down next to her. Who instantly put on a force field around herself.
"What ever." Tank said grabbing his pop corn and eating it.
The movie is over with and they're driving home.
Misty and Tank are at it again.
"I can't believe that you would pull a stunt like that!" She said.
Tank ignored her and saw a cute girl walking on the side walk, he rolled down his window and whistled.
"Hey babe!"
Misty eye's glowed red and she zapped the window up and it caught him in the mouth.
He pulled out and glared at Misty. "What is you're problem?"
"I don't have a problem."
"You're a total psycho!"
In the back seats Gosalyn is just sitting there wishing she was some where else.
Casey nudged her and smiled. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"That I need new friends?"
"Well that too. But I was thinking about us ditching you're friends."
Gosalyn paused and grinned and nodded her head.
"Tank, you know. My home isn't too far away. Casey and I can get walk home."
"WHAT?!" Misty exclaimed.
"It's no biggie." Casey said.
Tank shrugged. "It's you're life."
He pulled up to the curb and Gosalyn and Casey got out and closed the door behind them.
Tank drove off and Misty glared at him.
"What now?" Tank asked.
"You scared my friends away! What's wrong with you?" Misty said.
"Me? I think that you're the one who that scared them away."
They fought some more.
20 minutes later..
Gosalyn and Casey arrive at her house and looked at each other.
"I'm so sorry about Misty and Tank Casey."
"It's okay, I had fun."
"Me too." Gosalyn replied.
They were about to kiss when the porch lights came on.
"Gos, it's time to come in." Drake said from inside.
Gosalyn moaned and sighed.
"Oh alright dad. I better head in."
"Okay, see you Monday."
"Bye."
He kissed her on the cheek and headed out, she smiled at waved at him.
"Gosalyn!" Drake exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming." She said.
She walked inside and Honker watched from his window. Grabbed the card from his pocket and his cell phone and dialed the number.
"Hi Cornel, this is Honker Muddlefoot. I would like to have more information." Honker said.
To Be Continued..
Previews for the next chapter..
Drake is talking to Gosalyn. "So you like Casey huh?"
"Yeah, I like him a lot. I want to see where it goes with him."
Honker is at Gosalyn's house and sighs. "I'm thinking about joining the army."
Gosalyn just has a stature look on her face.
