Chapter 3

Drake shook his head and laughed at Gwen.

"She always knew how to make an entrance." Drake said.

She quickly stood up and looked at them.

"What the hell are you all doing here?"

"Business trip." William said.

"I wanted to check this place out again." Drake said.

"Passing through." Launch Pad replied.

"Well I'd love to stop and chat, but I have to go and clean out my hand bag or something,"

She got up and ran to the hatch and climbed down.

"Gwen." Drake said.

She looked up from the hatch.

"Nice seeing you again." They all said.

She quickly closed the hatch and took off.

At the bar Morgana and Binki are sitting there Gwen goes running up to them.

"Where's Gosalyn?"

"She's at the beach."

Gwen had tears in her eyes and took off running. Morgana and Binki took off after her.

"Gwen! Wait up!" Binki yelled.

They ran to the building but Gwen had locked it.

"Gwen! Honey, what's wrong?" Binki asked.

No answer and Morgana used her magic to get in.

They walked in and heard Gwen crying in the bath room.

"Gwen? Honey, please talk." Binki said.

Morgana and Binki looked at each other and music started to play.

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong

I have never seen such sorrow

In your eyes
and the wedding is tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it

I can see
That you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend
I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see
You've broken a feather
I hope
We can patch it up together

Chiquita
You and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leavin'
You'll be dancing' once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'

Chiquita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you

Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquita

Gwen sat up and looked at her friends

Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquita

When the song ended Gwen took a deep breath and looked at her friends.

"It's her dad."

"Whose dad?" Morgana asked.

"Gosalyn's. You remember when I told you that it was always Drake Drake Drake? The one who cheated on me and got married on the main lands."

"Yeah?" They said.

"Well what I didn't tell you is that there was 2 other guys that I was with."

"Why little Gwendolyn you player." Morgana said.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"I didn't think that I would ever see them again. Let alone see all three of them here in my old goat house. Days before my daughters wedding."

Morgana and Binki looked at each other.

"The old goat house?" They asked.

"Oh this I got to see!" Morgana exclaimed.

Binki and Morgana took off running and Gwen followed them.

"NO! Get you're tail feathers back here!" Gwen yelled.

The two of them ran to see the three man but when they did. They were gone.

"Get back here!" Gwen said.

"They're gone." Morgana said.

"What?" Gwen said.

She looked up and saw that they were gone.

"Where did they go?" She asked.

They're walking back to the house and Gwen just couldn't figure out what was going on.

"I can't believe that this is happening. I swear I saw them. It's like some joke about karma or something. Somebody is getting a real laugh about this. Probably my mother."

"Gwen darling, maybe you need to take some time off." Binki said.

"Gwen are you getting any?" Morgana asked.

Gwen looked at her friend shocked. "Morgana?"

"What it can solve a lot of you're problems."

"Oh, yeah that's the last thing that I need. Is more man problems." She said.

They walked inside and Gwen fell on the bed again.

"Why does this happen now? Of all times?" She asked.

"Don't know honey."

"I am a bad mother." Gwen cried.

"No you're not."

"Yeah, I am. I don't even know who my daughters dad is. And now they're here. The day before the wedding. It's like a sign that I'm the worst mother in the world. Everything that my mom had ever said about me is true."

"No that's not even true. You're mom was the worst person in the world."

"But she had a point. If I wasn't too busy messing around. I wouldn't even be in this mess."

"You are a great mom Gwen. Gosalyn, turned out good."

"Yeah, but…"

Morgana sighed and turned to Binki and elbowed her.

"You know what you need is to show those boys. That you're great with out them."

"But I'm not."

"They don't need to know that. You need to show them that you're still the bomb girl."

"What if somebody sees us?" Gwen asked.

"Screw them if they can't take a joke." Binki and Morgana replied.

Gwen sighed and just walked up the dresser and sat down on the chair. Morgana and Binki followed her and stood behind her.

Music started to play again and Binki and Morgana started to sing.

" You can dance
You can jive

Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
"

Gwen walked to the bed and laid back down, glancing back at her two friends who are joking around as they sang. Gwen smiled and started to sing along as they jumped on the bed.

" You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen

Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
"

They all headed out of the house and Gwen is flirting with an old man.

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone

Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

They started dance around and everybody followed them down to the port.

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
"

Gwen then pushed Morgana into the ocean.

"Ahh." Morgana said.

Then she pushed Binki in, did a cannon ball in the ocean as well.

They all laughed and played around.

Gosalyn came walking by and saw her mom in the ocean.

"MOM! What are you doing?" She asked.

"Having fun."

"Well knock it off you're embarrassing me." Gosalyn said.

Gwen just ignored her and continued to play. "You are so embarrassing me."

She stormed off and Gwen shrugged.

Gwen walked out of the ocean soaking wet. "Alright, girls. Here's the deal. I want you to keep those guys away from Gosalyn. I can't let them ruin her big day."

"How do you expect us to do that?" Morgana asked.

"I don't know just think of something."

"What if they run into each other?" Binki asked.

"Then I'll figure it out when it comes. I just have to think one thing at a time. Just please do this for me."

"Alright, but you owe us." Morgana said.

"I know I do. Just enough time so I can get everything ready for tomorrow. Since I'm the only one working. Starting tomorrow." Gwen said as she walked away.

Morgana and Binki walked away too.

Later that night..

Gosalyn and Honker are enjoying some free time before their bachelor/ bachleotte party.

"My last day of freedome." Honker said.

Gosalyn raised an eyebrow at him. "Execuse me?"

"That's what some guys might think. But to me it's a new adventure to take."

They kissed and she paused and looked down.

"Honk, remember when I told you that I was looking for my father?"

"Gos, we've been through this a million times. You don't need to look for him. You already got a family."

"And you will never leave me right?"

"Are you kidding me? You have turned my life upside down."

"What are you talking about?" She laughed.

Honker laughed and turned to her.

"I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every man that I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned
Has overturned
I beg of you

He walked over to Gosalyn and was about to kiss him, but she pushed him away.

"Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied
I skip my pride
I beg you dear"

(He grabs her and tossed her in the ocean, she laughs and pushed him in too. They both look at each other and kiss each other.)

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
"

(They both walk out and start messing around with each other)

"Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me"

(Gosalyn is sitting on a stone and looking at Honker)

I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce"

I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

Cause everything is new
And everything is you

And all I've learned
Has overturned
What can I do?

(They're laying on the sand about to kiss when his friends come swimming in the distance, walk on the beach and tear them apart)

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Gosalyn is with her friend at her bachelorette party drinking and dancing around.

Back with Gwen and her friends. They're in the girls room trying to fit into their old clothes.

"Oh, Gosalyn better appreciate what I'm doing." Gwen said.

"I'm sure she will." Morgana said.

"At least you two don't have body parts falling down." Binki said.

"Honey, that's what the doctors are for. A little nip there a little tuck there. And you'll be as good as new." Morgana said.

Gwen laughed. "It must be good to have married a millionaire."

"Can't beat it." Morgana said looking in the mirror.

Gwen chuckled and shook the thoughts out of her head and looked at the clock.

"Her party is starting. We better get going," Gwen said.

The girls all walked out of the house and headed to the party.

"For one night only it's Gwen and the Dynamos'!" The announcer said.

Gosalyn and her friends cheered as Gwen and her friends come out wearing all polyester and clothes from the 70's.

Gosalyn laughed at the sight.

"This is for you baby girl." Gwen said.

The music started to play and they sang.

Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me

But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you

I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat, and sleep, and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
Suddenly it feels alright
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the

Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you
Facing twenty thousand of your friends

How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
But it's gonna be alright
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the

Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one

Tonight the
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you

So I'll be there
When you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me
I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
Tonight the

(As they sang the three guys came walking by and heard the girls sang.)

Drake sighed. "You know she wrote that song for me."

William was shocked. "What? But she said that she wrote it for me."

They looked at each other confused and back at the girls.

"Super Trouper
Lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me

Gwen spotted the boys and rolled her eyes.

"They're here."

"Who?" Morgana asked.

"Who do you think? Gosalyn's dad's. I can't believe that they would do this to me." Gwen said.

"Well what should we do?" Binki asked.

"Just keep singing." Gwen said.

They kept singing

But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd
There's you
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me
"

The song ended and Binki walked up to the boys.

"What are you doing here? This is a girls only night." She asked.

"We know. We just wanted to talk to Gwen."

"Well you can talk to her later. Now go." Binki said.

Just then Honker and his friends came and joined the girls.

"Hey!" Honker said.

Gosalyn smiled and kissed him. "Hey you."

Music started to play again and the girls started to sing.

Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gosalyn spotted Drake ahead and dragged him away from the crowd.

"Sorry to drag you away"

"Thank God you did, this used to be a quiet island."

"Regretting you stayed away so long?"

"No, I'm regretting I never knew what was here."

Gosalyn looked at him confused.
"What?"

Drake sighed and thought back.

"This place - the Taverna. I always meant to come back and build it someday, but- she beat me to it."

Gosalyn was shocked to hear that.

"Really? Do you prefer buildings to people?"

"What?!" Drake asked.

"Oh nothing. Tell me something about my mom."

Drake laughed and shook his head.

"Your mom was irresistible, a, a one-off. We talked and we fought- you know it was me that bought her to this island."

Gosalyn chuckled and smiled.

"That wasn't the only thing you did, wasn't it?"

Drake laughed and looked at her.

"Oh right, what has she told you?" Drake asked.

Gosalyn shrugged and shook her head.

"Nothing. She's never mentioned you."

Drake was confused by that and scratched his head.

"But you said "Mom's always talking about her friends from the old days."

He sighed and looked at her confused.

"What's going on Gosalyn? Why am I here?"

Gosalyn quickly took off leaving Drake confused.

Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gosalyn bumped into William and he laughed.

"Fancy Gwen with a grown-up daughter."

Gosalyn smiled and turned to him.

"Have you got any children, William?"

William shook his head.

"No. I haven't put myself in the path of father hood." He said.

Gosalyn chuckled and elbowed him.

"It's never too late."

William sighed and shook his head.

"I don't think my other half would agree."

She paused at that confused and a little hurt.

"Oh - you don't want children?"

"No, no, it's not like that. It's just that: Well how do I put this. If I had a daughter like you I would spoil her rotten." He said quickly changing the subject.

Gosalyn laughed. "Lucky thing."

William paused and looked around.

"Is you're dad here?" He asked.

Gosalyn paused and looked down.

"I don't know."

"What?" William asked.

She sighed and took a deep breath and shrugged.

"I don't know who my dad is." She replied.

Before William could respond the girls dragged her away back to the dance floor.

Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer:

Launch Pad spotted her and headed over to her.

"Can I be nosey, I'm a writer so it goes with the territory."

Gosalyn nodded her head and smiled.

"Go on."

"How did your mother get this place? When I knew her she singing in a night club on the mainland."

She shrugged and said simply.

"She was left some money, in a will. We lived with an old lady when I was little. Her name was Gosalyn?"

Launch Pad paused and thought about it for a second.

"What, my Great-Aunt Gosalyn?" He asked.

"I think it must be."

Launch Pad scratched his head and thought about it some more.

"But: I always heard her money went to family." He said.

He then gasped and looked at her.

"Wait a minute! How old are you?" He asked.

"Twenty." Gosalyn said.

Launch Pad just couldn't and had to get away.

"I have to go." He said.

As he walked away it hit Gosalyn.

To Be contunied..
