"Goal!" Gosalyn cried out in a hoarse and raspy voice as she pumped her fists in the air at the soccer field during a forth grade P.E. Class at St. Canard Elementary School, when she successfully got the soccer ball into her opposing team's goal, earning her team yet another goal and another win! It was a late February morning, and they were playing soccer. The P.E. coach had divided them into two separate teams by providing them with differently colored jerseys -one team wore yellow, whilst Gosalyn's team wore blue.

Gosalyn's friend, Honker Muddlefoot, who happened to be on her team, noticed something different about Gosalyn. Usually, when she scored a goal, her voice was so loud and enthusiastic, but today and recently it was different; she had been sounding rather raspy and hoarse.

Also, earlier today in their first period English class, he noticed that she had been complaining of yet another sore throat. Not only that, but she had been clutching onto her throat and coughing a lot. She was looking rather flushed and could barely focus on the lessons. Honker couldn't help but worry about his friend Gosalyn. Something is wrong with Gosalyn! he thought to himself.

Later, it was time for lunch. Gosalyn and Honker went to the lunch area to sit down to eat, but as soon as the red-haired girl took a bite into her tuna sandwich, she noticed that it hurt to swallow. It felt as if she had swallowed a bit of sandpaper or something. She put her sandwich down and began to slowly guzzle down her milk, but with each swallow, she felt yet again the same sharp pain in her throat. She clutched her hand around her neck and winced.

"Gosalyn, are you all right?" Honker asked in concern, looking up.

"My throat hurts, Honk." Gosalyn replied, pushing her lunch tray aside.

"Gos, I think you'd better see the school nurse." her friend suggested, as he began to feel her forehead. "if I didn't know better, I'd say that is the fifth sore throat this month! Not only that, but you do feel a little warm."

Meanwhile, in St. Canard...

Darkwing Duck had been called in by S.H.U.S.H. director, J. Gander Hooter, who had a top-secret and dangerous assignment for him:

F.O.W.L.'s top chief agent Steelbeak was up to his old tricks again; this time, he's stolen the world's largest diamond which was to be on display at the St. Canard Museum, and there was no telling where he was hiding out this time.

"Darkwing, I need you on this case," J. Gander explained. "Steelbeak is as slippery as an eel, and there is no telling where or when he may strike next."

But it didn't take long before the Flashquack came zipping in, with a message from Darkwing's sidekick, Launchpad McQuack.

"Could you excuse me for a minute?" The caped crimefighter asked. "I just received a message from my sidekick."

A familiar face instantly appeared on the screen. "D.W., you have a message from Gos' school nurse. She's coming down with fever and a sore throat again."

"I'll be right over, Launchpad." Darkwing replied.

Gosalyn was lying down on the bed in the nurse's office, and Honker was sitting right next to her as soon as Drake Mallard arrived.

"She has a sore throat, Mr. Mallard," the school nurse explained. She was a duck with brown hair, brown eyes, yellow feathers, and she was wearing a lavender dress and white coat. "I also took her temperature, and it was 101.3 F, this means she has a fever, and her little friend told me that this was the fifth sore throat this month. She needs to go to bed and get plenty of rest. When I looked at her throat, not only was it red, I saw little white patches. I think she should see the doctor, Mr. Mallard,"

"Come on, Gos." Drake told her. "I better get you home. Do you have your things?"

"Yes, Mr. Mallard," Honker replied as he handed Gosalyn's folder and backpack to him. "The teacher asked me to take her things over here."

"That is very thoughtful of you, Honker. I appreciate it."
