Chapter 4

-At The Muddle foot's house-

They were all gathered together to leave for the funeral.

"I still can't believe that dad is gone." Honker said.

Gosalyn nodded her head. "I know." She replied.

Binki walked in with a tray full of cookies.

"I made some fresh baked cookies for everybody." She said putting the tray down.

The twins ran to it. "Alright food. I'm starving!" Will exclaimed.

"You're always hungry. He's like the bottomless pit." Gwen replied.

"Sounds like somebody I know." A voice said from the other room.

Just then Drake walked in.

"Hi dad." Gosalyn said.

The twosome hugged each other. "Hey kiddo. How you doing?" He asked.

"I don't really know. I hate funerals. Ever since I was little." Gosalyn said.

"What about Binki how's she doing?" He asked.

"She's wreak dad. She's been cleaning and cooking all day." Honker replied.

Drake was about to say something when Launch Pad walked in.

The twins gasped at the sight of him. "Uncle Launch Pad!" They exclaimed.

They took off running to him and hugged him. "Hey kids." He said.

"What did you get us from you're trips?" Will asked.

Gosalyn and Drake walked up to them.

"Hey L.P." Gosalyn said.

"Hey Gosy. Long time no see." He said hugging her.

"Yeah, I see dad's been keeping you busy with this mission."

"Yeah, you can say that. I've been following all the villains around the world. And reporting back to him."

"Ahem speaking of which. What did you find out?' Drake asked.

Launch Pad handed him a small package and Drake put it in his pocket.

"What did you get us!" The twins exclaimed.

"Kids?" Gosalyn said.

"Sorry ma." They replied.

Launch Pad chuckled. "It's okay Gos. I wouldn't go anywhere without getting m two favorite sidekicks stuff." He said.

He opened up his little suitcase.

"Thanks Uncle Launch Pad." They hugged him and took off running.

"No problem kids." He said.

Drake sighed. "Well it looks like everybody is here. I think it's time." He said.

They all looked back at Binki and sighed.

-In the car with Gosalyn, Honker and Binki-

"Honker slow down." Binki said.

"Are you grieving or driving?" Honker asked.

"Oh sure bite my head off I'm a widow." Binki said.

Honker sighed. "Sorry mom."

"You know in the silence I can feel him around me." Binki said.

They smiled and there was a quite pause when Gosalyn's cell phone rang.

She smiled and chuckled. "Couldn't be more sorry." She said.

She pulled her phone out. "Hello?" She asked.

"I guess what they say is true."

"What's that mom?"

"I don't know you're father was the one who came up with that."

"No! Absolutely not! No! Hold on! It's the tend ant from the building. They said we can have the apartment. But they want key money."

"Key money? What's that?" Honker asked.

"It's a bribe." Gosalyn said.

Binki sighed and looked out the window. "Honestly do you have to do that now?"

"Sorry mom. Its just that we might be able to get that apartment across the hall only today."

"So pay them the key money." Binki said.

"Really?" Honker asked.

"Sure. The wall can go down and you'll finally have room for the twins. What are you waiting for?" She asked.

"Then tell them yes." Honker said.

"Done. Well get you the check." She said.

She turned off the phone and smiled at Honker.

"Today's a good day." Honker said.

"It really is." Gosalyn replied.

Binki just looked at them. "Not so good." Honker said.

The whole gang is now waiting for the elevator.

"I didn't get potato salad. I only got coleslaw." Binki said.

Honker and Tank stood next to her. "Mom, it's okay." Honker said.

"Yeah we like coleslaw." Tank said.

The elevator opened and everybody walks in.

Drake's with Morgana, Ally with Dewey and Gosalyn with Honker.

As Binki looked around she realized she's the only one that didn't have a partner.

She just picks off a little lint of off her shoulder and stood there with a blank look.

-Twins-

"Grandma Binki was never the same after that." Gwen said.

Will chuckled. "Not if ma has anything to do with it." Will replied.

A month after the funeral.

They're all at the Muddle foots again.

Binki is her usual cheerful self like nothing has happened.

Gosalyn and Honker are talking to each other. She spots Binki smiling and cleaning and just shook her head. "Honk, can you take the twins back home?" She asked.

Honker nodded his head. "Uh yeah sure. Why what are you going to do?" He asked.

"I think I'm going to have a heart to heart talk with mom."

"Gos, I know what you're thinking. But we tried to talk to her before. She wouldn't listen."

"I know I can. I know what she's thinking. I can snap her out of it."

Honker shrugged. "Okay, I trust you." He said.

Gosalyn grinned at that.

-Twins-

"Famous last words." Will muss.

They both chuckled at that.

-Back-

Gosalyn walks back to Binki.

"Hey mom, you feel like going on a walk with me?" She asked.

Binki smiled at her. "Oh sorry dear. I can't. I just have too many things to do around here. Like the dishes, cleaning the house…"

"There's always time to do that stuff mom. All I'm asking is a walk."

Binki sighed and put her apron on the counter and nodded her head.

"Alright." She replied.

The two of them are outside walking around. It's a very quite walk as nobody is talking.

"Nice night." Gosalyn said.

Binki just nodded her head and looked down at the ground.

Gosalyn just looked over at her and frowned.

There's something I want to show you mom." She said.

"Really what?" Binki asked.

"It's a surprise." Gosalyn replied.

She grabbed Binki's hand and dragged her off.

-Twins-

"Not something you wanted to hear. Ma with a surprise."

"Yeah." Will muss.

-Back-

Gosalyn and Binki are standing some place and Gosalyn has her eyes covered.

"So what did you want to show me Gos?" Binki asked.

Gosalyn moved her hands from her eyes. "This." Gosalyn said.

They were standing on a roof of a building and you can see the whole town.

Binki slowly backed away as she's afraid of heights.

"Oh my aren't we high." Binki said.

Gosalyn nodded her head. "Yup sure are." She replied.

Gosalyn walked to the edge of the building. "Ahhh!" Gosalyn exclaimed.

Binki looked at her shocked at that. "Gosalyn dear, what is that for?" Binki asked.

"I felt like it. You try. It will do you good." Gosalyn said.

"Oh no dear. That's alright. I better head home. I have cleaning to do." Binki said.

Gosalyn jumped up on the edge of the roof and sat down. Binki was about to walk away.

"Boy, you really are the perfect wife aren't you? You don't complain, you don't make fuss. You do what you're husband tells you. You cook you clean. I'm so glad that me and the twins are nothing like you."

Binki stopped and turned around and looked at her. "What do you mean?" She asked.

"Well come on mom. You're not exactly the perfect role model. You don't speak you're mind. You're just a ball of sunshine. I raised my kids right. I taught them to speak their minds. And face it if you raised you're voice just a little. Maybe Tank wouldn't be the way he is."

"What are you saying? I think I'm a good mom." She said.

Gosalyn laughed and jumped off. "Yeah right. All I know is that if I did half the things that he did. When I was younger. My dad would have butt grounded for life. But no, you just did what ever he wanted to do. You are a push over!" Gosalyn exclaimed.

"I value you're opinion Gosalyn. I really do. But I really got to go home."

"See you can't even get angry. I mean you're husband of 30 and some what years just passed away. And you just act like nothing happened. I haven't even seen you shred one tear or anything. I mean if I was you. God forbid if anything would happen to Honker. But as I was saying I would be pissed off to hell. I would be pissed off at the world. I would be pissed at myself. And most of all I would be pissed at Honker. For leaving me all alone. I mean what kind of a guy will do that to a person that he loves? Just leaves em like that all alone? Not a very good one that's for sure. I mean it's not like you could win him back. He's dead. Gone forever. That must really sting him dieing then wanting to be with you any longer. I mean seriously he made some promise to you. Like he was never going to leave you. And what does he do? He goes and dies. Leaving you."

Binki then lost it and slapped Gosalyn across the face.

"That's enough!" She exclaimed.

They both just stood there looking at each other shocked.

"Oh my gosh! Gosalyn, I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me." She said.

"It's okay mom. I understand how it works. You know how I know? My grandpa promised me the same thing. After my parents died. He promised me that he would never leave me. So I was the perfect granddaughter at first. I didn't complain. I did what I was told. Everything was perfect then he got murdered. I snapped out of that and didn't know what to do. I didn't know rather to cry or scream. I just held it in for the longest time. And then Drake adopted me. He just loved me for me. I was still very confused. So one night he bought me up here. And just told me to scream what ever was in my head. At first I didn't think it was going to work. But when I did it. It made me feel so good. I screamed so loud that everybody could hear me. From the top of my head to the bottom of my toes. And I tell you what it felt pretty damn good."

"But what about the sleeping people?"

"Who cares mom. You can't always worry about everybody else and making them happy. You got to think of you're self first. That's why every once in a while I just have to get away for a few hours. I didn't think that I was ever going to get married and have kids. That was the last thing on my mind when I was younger."

"What do you mean? Don't you love being a wife and a mom?" She asked.

"Yeah don't get me wrong. I love Honk and the twins. But when I was younger. Marriage was like death to me. I never really believed in marriage. Honk must have proposed to me about 6 or 7 times. I kept turning him down. Cause I didn't want to be tied down for the rest of my life. That's why I traveled a lot with my dad after high school."

"What made you changed you're mind about getting married?"

"Easy, I kept thinking about him on the travel. And I knew it was love. He'll probably kill me for saying this. But then when we got home from it. I arrived at his apartment and I asked him to marry me." She laughed.

"You proposed to him? That's so un natural."

"Yeah, I know. But hey nothing in my life is natural. And I wouldn't change it for the world. Look Binki I know what you're going through. I'm not saying that you should get over it right away. Hell I'm still grieving over my parents and grandpas death. And that was 20 years ago. You need to let you're emotions out once in awhile. You can't always agree with people. If you don't like what they're saying. Tell them. Look at my kids for example. They tell you how it is. They don't let anything would them back. I bring them up here too. When they need it. You'll be surprised at how well it works."

Binki just looked at her, Gosalyn took a deep breath. "Watch me and then you do it okay?" She asked.

Binki nodded her head and watched Gosalyn.

"Ahhh! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME! I AM WHO I AM! AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT! THEN GO JUMP IN A LAKE!" Gosalyn exclaimed.

Binki was still shocked that she could scream like that. Binki was always taught that girls don't do that.

"Now you try."

"Hello? I'm sorry if I wake anybody up."

"No no no. You're doing it wrong. Don't say youre sorry. You shouldn't care who hears you. Just scream. I'll do it again. AHHH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Gosalyn exclaimed.

"You're dad really let you do this?" She asked.

"Yeah, he enforced it. Just think about what's making you mad. Feel it inside and just let it out."

"Okay, Ill try. I'm mad because nobody understands me." She said.

"Good. Now say why."

"They always think that I'm this push over. I'm mad because Herb broke a promise to me! HE SAID THAT HE WAS NEVER GOING TO LEAVE ME! AND HE LIED!"

"You go girl. Tell him how you feel."

"I don't know how to live with out him. He has always been my life. Everything revolved around him and the kids. Now I don't know what to do." She cried.

"I know mom. It sucks, but you're life isn't over yet. One chapter of you're life is over. But another one has just begun. You can do what ever you want now. Nothing ties you down. And remember you're not alone. You have me, Honker, Tank, the twins. If you ever needed something to talk to. Where always there for you." Gosalyn said.

Binki hugged Gosalyn. "Thank you Gos. I really needed this."

"No problem mom. Been there done that." Gosalyn said.

Binki walked away and Gosalyn rubbed her cheek where Binki had slapped her. "Ow." She cried.

-Twins-

"Ma, is the best to understand what grandma was going on." Will said.

"Yeah, they're very close." Gwen replied.

-2019-

Gosalyn and Honker are in the apartment about to tell the kids about the facts of life again.

"And that's why it's called intercourse."

"Sexual intercourse. Kids do you understand any of this?" Gosalyn asked.

Turn to a 17 year old Gwen and Will.

Gwen is wearing a black shirt, a black mini skirt, a bat chocker and fishnet stockings, boots.

Will is wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans and tennis shoes.

"I'm on the pill. And I don't think you have to worry about Will." Gwen said.

Will was busy playing video games to even pay attention.

Gosalyn and Honker were shocked to hear that.

"Oh. Okay so you know. That's good." Gosalyn said.

-Will and Gwen-

"And that's when our dad thought we was growing up to fast. And we started our other ritual. Sit on the steps and make fun innocent people on the street." Gwen said.

"Don't forget Gwen. That you and mom also had you're rituals going on." Will said.

-In the apartment-

Gosalyn and Gwen are fighting with each other.

"No!" Gwen replied.

"And I'm saying yes."

"No!" Gwen yelled.

She walked to the bathroom door and opened it up and to hers and Wills bed room and slams the door.

Gosalyn soon followed them and walked in.

"Yes."

Gwen is in her bed and looked up at her. "NO!"

"Yes." Gosalyn said.

Gosalyn turned and walked out of her room, Gwen followed her.

"NO!" Gwen replied.

-Gwen-

"My therapist says that the reason I clash with our mother so much. Is because we are so much alike. That statement alone opted me from 3 sessions to 4 a week. Our grandfather used to say that out of pain comes beauty. But he also used to say plant one right here Tiger puss. And what I did was take my pain and put it in our work. And I waited for beauty."

"Still waiting I see." Will teased.

Gwen stuck her tongue out at him.

-2035 the theater-

They're watching the twins movie which is interesting.

"Hey Bob."

"Hey there, what you got there?"

Gasp "She's stabbing Bob."

"I'm bleeding a lot."

Gosalyn and Honker both have a confused look on their faces, as the theme to Looney tunes started to play.

The lights came back on and the audience just sat there for a second.

"Well who wants some pie?" Ally asked.

"See you guys there." Honker said.

Everybody but Gosalyn and Honker leave.

"Want to get some pie?" Honker asked.

Gosalyn shook her head at that. "I don't think so." She replied.

Honker sighed. "Okay, well it was good seeing you."

"You too."

"You think that you and me was supposed to be Bob?" Honker asked.

Gosalyn chuckled at that. "Oh lets just say no." She replied.

"How's the apartment?"

"Good."

"Did you ever think we'll be these people?" Honker asked.

Gosalyn shook her head. "No I did not. I just want to say that if I changed in some way that made you feel…"

Honker shook his head. "No, you don't have to say that. It's okay."

"Okay."

"But I think that this is better. Don't you think?"

Gosalyn nodded her head. "I do."

"I do too. So you take care of yourself."

"You too." Gosalyn said.

Honker bended down to pick up his jacket and when he looked back up. Gosalyn planted a big kiss on him.

"Did you just kiss me?" Honker asked.

Gosalyn shook her head. "No."

"I didn't think so." Honker said.

Gosalyn looked up in his eyes.

"Buy me some pie?" She asked.

"Yes of course." Honker said.

He put his hand on her shoulder and the two of them walked out.

-Gwen-

"And he bought her pie and took her home. And he never left. Yes, it wasn't my best film. I see that now."

"Hey!" Will exclaimed.

"But I will call it a huge successful viewing. To me there's no bigger courage then being the one who kisses first. With that in mind. I ask for all of you who are our mom to turn around for a second."

Will shows up next to Gwen. "Mom, WE LOVE YOU!" The twins exclaimed.

Gwen blows a kiss. "Okay you all can turn around now. I said at the beginning that we blame our parents."

"And we do. We blame them for making us crazy. We blame them for being so difficult." Will said.

"But most of all we blame them for us to not disbelieving that the idea that love can actually work out." Gwen said.

-2006-

Gosalyn and Honker are in the apartment with the same judge as before.

"We are gathered today actually 10 seconds till tomorrow." The judge said.

"Yes sorry about that. We wanted to keep the same anniversary." Gosalyn said.

"Okay, so I'll make this quick. Do you Honker take Gosalyn as you're wife?"

"I do."

"Okay good. Gosalyn do you take Honker as you're husband?"

"I do."

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Okay just making sure. From last time."

"I understand." Gosalyn said.

"Well since there's only 3 seconds left and the witness is sound asleep. And the dog has lost interest. I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride on the lips." Gosalyn and Honker kiss. "Very well. Nice seeing you guys again." He said as he walked out.

"Well." Gosalyn said.

"Well." Honker said.

"We are married."

"Yes we are."

"Official."

"Yup, how does it feel?" Gosalyn asked.

"Feels the same oddly." Honker said.

"Yeah it does. Did we rush him too much? Cause there's some stuff that I would say if he gave us a chance." Gosalyn said.

"Really? Me too."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I know you pretty well. I would be more specific."

"Like what?"

"I would have said I love you."

Gosalyn chuckled. "That's not very specific." She replied.

"No, but I do. I love you a lot." He said.

"Oh." She said.

"And I would have said that life is a big dangerous thing. More tricky and sneaky then the both of us. But here's what I got. I would always love you. Don't you even doubt that. That's what I would say. What did you wanted to say?" Honker asked.

Gosalyn sighed and looked at him. "Well I would have said that they're a million of things that I want. But only one thing I really need. And that if you ever decide to leave me. I would follow you and bring you home. Cause you'll be an idiot." Gosalyn replied.

"You see that's a wedding." Honker said.

"Yeah." Gosalyn replied.

"How do you like being married so far?" He asked.

"I like it very much." Gosalyn replied.

"You hungry?" Honker asked.

"Not really." She said.

"Okay, come here."

He grabbed her close and they kiss.

"Thank you for a wonderful engagement." Gosalyn said while looking in his eyes.

"It has been my pleasure." Honker said.

They start slow dancing together when the twins started to cry.

"Coming kids." Gosalyn said.

Gosalyn and Honker kiss and she walked into the bedroom, Honker grinned and soon followed. He turned the lights off.

A bunch of home movies started to play.

First you see Honker with a video camera and are filming Gosalyn with baby Will. He's learning how to walk. He starts running ahead of Gosalyn. And runs behind Honker, when Honker turns around Will is now 6 years old in his super hero outfit going crazy.

(Feelings
We all have feelings
We like to give
Our love
And get love back
its part of caring
Your learning caring)
Now it shows Gwen as a baby. Honker is feeding her. She starts banging on the table and her bowl goes flying and lands on Honker's head. He lifts it up and Gwen is 6 years old also. She jumps down from her seat and runs away.

(When people grow
And share
And start to know there's more out there
Than just getting more
And taking more
There's giving more
The best part of living!)

6 year old Will is playing basketball with Gosalyn.

He got the ball and he started to head for the basket. Gosalyn stops in front of him. He laughs and goes between her legs. He then runs to the basket and goes jumping to the basket. When he gets to the basket and makes it he is now 12 years old. He jumps down and does his victory dance around Gosalyn.
(Growing up
It's something you can measure
Growing up
It happens every day
Being young
Is something you can treasure
Life is good when you're
Growing up!)

Gosalyn walks past the bathroom and sees 6 year old Gwen playing with her makeup.

She smiles lovingly and walks up to her daughter, washes the makeup off and kissed her.
They two look at each other in the mirror and Gosalyn walked away. Gwen looks back in the mirror and is now 12 years old putting lip gloss on, she walks out.
(Waiting
I know you're waiting
You'd like your turn
To do
Just what you want
It's part of growing
You're always growing
One day you'll see
And know
All the changes you must undergo)
12 year old Will is playing flag football with his friends Paul and Mark. Will has the football and starts going to the touch down. The others are right behind him and they tackle him. When he crawls out he is now 16 years old. He spikes the football to the ground and does a dance.
(You'll be stronger then
And taller then
And you'll begin the best part of living!)
Honker is working on his car with 12 year old Gwen in the car.

She has the radio on high and honked the horn.

Honker jumped and hit his head on the car. He moans and sits up, rubs his head. He then looked up at her. They hug and he walks off. The horn honked again and this time she's 16 year old in her car with her friends. They smile at her parents and drive off.
(Growing up
It's something you can measure
Growing up it happens everyday
Being young is something you can treasure
But life is good when you're growing up)
The twins are back to preschool days. They wave to their parents before going to school. Gosalyn waves back while Honker is filming this. He looks down and back up, there now 18 years old in graduation. The whole family is together and clapping at them getting their diploma.
(Growing up
It's something you can measure
Growing up it happens everyday
Being young is something you can treasure
But life is good when you're growing up)
18 year old twins are in the Darkwing tower with Drake and Gosalyn. They're getting trained to be the next crime fighters. Going through a course and not doing a good job.

Gosalyn and Drake moan and roll their eyes at this. Turn to them being 21 years old. Gwen is now the Silver Huntress and Will is the new Darkwing Duck. They have no problem going through the course now. Gosalyn and Drake are very pleased about this.
(Life is good when you're growing up...)

The whole family is standing in front of a camera. (Young Gosalyn and Honker) The flash goes off and now it shows the older gang together. Minus Herb.

The photo book closed and Gosalyn picks up the book and puts it in the book case.

"Incase you're wondering here's what happens to everybody." Gwen said.

"Aunt Ally and Uncle Dewey are very happy together. They invite an outgoing Swedish couple into their marriage." Will said.

"Grand pap and Grandmamma are on speaking terms right now. They're not together. Probably never will. But they're happy." Gwen replied.

"Grandma moved to Florida but didn't stick. So she moved into the same apartment building as our parents. But different floors. Didn't want to intrude." Will replied.

"Don't forget she travels a lot now with her friends." Gwen replied.

"Gwen has her own tattoo shop." Will said.

"With 4 my of best friends. And you'll never guess who was my first customer? Give up? It was our very own grandma Binki. That's right she got a tattoo of a heart with grandpa's name on it. Will is in the St. Canards hockey team along with his filming and editing thing."

"Ma and pop? Ma is now the president of the advertising company and still fights crime with us and Grand pap."

"Dad, he invented this thing for computer geeks. For when you're fingers cramp up. He made millions on it but gave most of it to charities."

"And if you don't mind the expression lived happily ever after." The twins said

The End.
