Previous on Big Mistake
"No, I dont think that Im joining the army." Honker said over the phone.
"Casey, Im going back to Honker."
"I know what youre up to punk! And when I find out youre going to wish that you was never born."
"I will marry you Honker."
"Gosalyn, do you take Honker.."
Drake came running in the room.
*******************************
"Gosalyn Marie Mallard!" Drake exclaimed.
Gosalyn turns to him shocked.
"Dad?!"
"Going to the movies huh?"
"Sorry but I have to do this."
"No, what you have to do is get youre butt home!"
"Uh.. is this.." The judge trailed on.
"Just a second judge." Honker said.
Honker grabs her hands and looks at her.
"Gosalyn, its now or never."
She paused and looked at her dad.
"Dad, please forgive me. But lets go for it."
Drake couldnt believe that this was happening.
"Are out of youre mind?! I wouldnt just sit back and watch this happen. Now you march right out of here right now!"
"Dad, Im sorry."
Drake marched out of the room, he wasnt going to watch this.
"I know pronounce you husband and wife." The judge said.
Gosalyn and Honker hug each other and she had tears in her eyes. Not happy tears but sad tears,
Drake is back at home hes in Gosalyns room packing her clothes.
"If she thinks that Im just going to sit back and watch her throw her life away. She has another thing coming."
He shoved a shirt in her bag.
Misty and Gosalyn are talking away from Honker for a minute in the office.
"Gosalyn, you know that Im not the one who holds my tongue back."
"Yeah.."
"Well you just made the biggest mistake of youre life!"
"I had to do it Misty."
"No you didnt!"
"Look, I know you mean well and all. But I had to do it and I need you to be supported."
"Alright, I'll try"
Honker walked up to them,
"Come on wife. Lets go home."
"Home? Where ever that is."
"You really think that youre dad will kick you out?"
"It wouldnt surprise me. Bye Misty."
"Bye Gos. Give me a call when you need me."
As soon as they walked away; Misty grabbed her cell phone and dialed Morganas.
"Aunt Morgana, Mr. Mallard is going to need you more now then ever."
Back at the Mallard house..
Drake is sitting Gosalyns suitcase by the door, Morgana walks in and sees them.
"Drake? Misty told me what happened."
"Oh, she did she tell you that she just sat back and watched as my daughter make the biggest mistake in her life."
"No Drake, Misty said that she tried to talk her out of it. I know that youre upset. But dont you think this is a little extreme?"
"Its called tough love Morgana."
Gosalyn and Honker arrived at the house and she paused as she went to open the door,
"You okay?"
"Oh, yeah. Knowing that I let my dad down really perks me up."
They walked in and she sees the bags on the floor.
"Dad?"
Drake turns around and frowns with his arms crossed.
"Oh look who it is. Its the newly weds. Theres youre bags, close the door on youre way out."
Gosalyn was hurt and walked up to him.
"Youre kicking me out?"
"Well what did you expect me to do Gosalyn? That I was just going to let you and youre under age husband move in here and play house together?"
"But where will I live?"
"Not my problem anymore."
Honker laughed.
"Thats fine with us huh Gosalyn? We can find other places to live. Come on Gosalyn."
Gosalyn grabs her bags and walked out with Honker. Morgana just glared at him.
"What?"
"Nothing. Ill see you later."
Morgana disappeared and Drake slammed the door.
"Ahh!" He exclaimed.
Gosalyn and Honker are walking around town.
"Can you believe it Gos? That we actually did it?!" Honker asked.
Gosalyn chuckled.
"Yeah, I know. And now were home less and broke. Good call on us. So whats youre plan now?"
"I dont know yet."
"Gee, thats reissuance."
"Youre not regretting what we did are you?"
"Maybe a little. My dad wouldnt even talk to me anymore. How can I not?"
"Youre dad will get over it. Everything will be okay."
"I hope youre right Honk. I have never seen him so upset before in my life. And thats saying a lot."
Morgana reappeared next to them.
"Finally! I have found you two!"
"Morgana?" Gosalyn asked.
"You two are coming with me."
"Where?"
"At the local hotel. I cant let you two sleep outside tonight."
"Why are you being nice?" Honker asked.
"Just think of it as a wedding present. Probably the only one that you will get."
The threesome walked away.
After the kids have got settled in the hotel room. Morgana is out in the hall ways and grabs her cell phone and calls the Muddle foots.
"Binki, this is Morgana Hi, I just wanted to tell you that Gosalyn and Honker are staying at a hotel tonight."
At the Muddle foots house..
Binki puts down the phone and turns excited to Herb,
"Herb! Gosalyn and Honker just got married!"
"Married? Thats wonderful! We have to celebrate with Drakester."
They walked out of the house.
Drake is telling Launch Pad what all had happened.
"That sure doesnt sound like Gosalyn."
"I know! Honker must be doing something to her. But Im not going to sit back and do nothing! I have to break them up!"
Just then Herb and Binki ran in and hugged Drake.
"Howdy neighbor! Or should I say family!" Herb said.
"Oh, isnt this soo existing or what? Our two kids married." Binki said.
Drake rolled his eyes at that.
"Ill pick the or what. You two cant tell me that youre actually happy about this! Our kids just ruined their lives!"
"Oh I wouldnt say that. We got married at that age. And look how we turned out."
"I rest my case. If yo dont mind Im going to bang my head on the wall. And hope that I wake up from this horrible nightmare."
Herb and Binki walked out as Drake started to bang his head on the wall.
Later that night..
Honker is sitting on the bed and looking around the room. He still cant believe that it had happened.
Gosalyn comes walking out of the bathroom in her pjs.
"Hey wife."
Gosalyn smiled.
"Hey."
They got in the bed together.
"Man, these have to be the most expensive sheets I have ever slept in." Honker said.
Gosalyn chuckled.
"Yeah I know. Uh.. I know that this was our wedding night and all. But do you think that we can skip it tonight?"
"Sure, we have the rest of our lifes to do it."
They laid down and he put his arms around her and smiled while she looked up at the ceiling.
'Well now that I got you all caught. This was not my idea at all! I still cant believe that this happened! I do love Honker. I have never stopped loving him. But I just feel like hes hiding something from me. I just wish I knew what it was.' She thought to herself.
The next morning..
Morgana and Misty are at the hotel picking up the newly weds for school.
Gosalyn gets in first.
"Hey Newlyweds." Morgana said.
Honker kissed Gosalyn, she just smiled a little and looked down.
"Honker, youre brother is such a jerk!" Misty exclaimed.
Gosalyn chuckled at that.
"Why? What did he do now?"
"Oh, we made a bet that I couldnt find a date. And he just laughed and said good luck!"
"That sounds like Tank."
"I dont know why I ever wasted my time on him!"
Gosalyn sits up and looks at Morgana.
"Hows my dad?"
"Not good. Hes still really mad."
Gosalyn sat back and sighed.
"Oh."
"I told you Gos. Hell get over it." Honker said.
Gosalyn just looked out the window in a daze. Easy for him to say that. His parents like the idea of them getting married.
Seconds later they arrived at the school and got out of the car.
"Gos, are you okay?" Misty asked.
"Yeah, Im fine."
As they walked in Honker kissed Gosalyn goodbye.
"See you later wife." Honker said.
"Yeah see you." She replied.
They walked away and Casey ran up to her.
"Wife? Dont tell me that you two get married."
"Yeah, last night."
"That was fast. Are you sure that you wanted to do it?"
"I wouldnt have done it. If I didnt want to Casey." She replied.
"I know! But you always told me that you wanted to have a life before getting hitched."
"So I changed my mind. Just drop it!"
She walked away and Casey could tell that she didnt like this.
School is over with and Gosalyn is at the Pizza King doing her homework.
Misty and Morgana walked in and saw her.
"Hey Gos."
Gosalyn looked up from her books and smiled.
"Hey."
"What are you doing here? Shouldnt you and youre hubby be together?"
"Honker had plans already. And I didnt feel like being an empty hotel room by myself."
"And how was last night?" Misty asked.
Gosalyn chuckled.
"Nothing happened Misty."
"Really? On youre wedding night?"
"Yeah, I didnt feel like it."
"How did Honker take it?"
Gosalyn shrugged.
"Good I guess."
Morgana looked at her and held her hand.
"Gos, I know this isnt what you wanted in youre life. You have always said that you wanted to be a reporter and go to college. Not being married at such a young age. Being married means that you have to deal with bills and all sorts of grown up stuff."
"Well Im married now. Theres nothing I can do about that."
"You can always get an annulment."
"An annulment? I couldnt do that to him!"
"Gos, you two are too young to be married. And dont you think it would be for the best. If you do it now when you still love him. Instead when you hate him?"
"I dont know."
"Just think about it Gos."
Just then Honker walks in all existed.
"Think about what?" Honker asked.
"Oh hey Honk." Gosalyn said.
"Gos, here has something to tell you Honker." Misty said.
Gosalyn glared at Misty for putting her on the spot.
"What is it?"
"I...uh.. was just telling them that they dont have to worry about me going to college."
"Yeah, everything is good. Gosalyn, I found an apartment!"
Gosalyn was shocked to hear that.
"You went apartment shopping with out me?"
"Yeah, come on I want to show it to you!"
She grabs her books and he dragged her away.
Misty and Morgana both groaned a little.
Just then a male duck about 18 years old with jet black hair covering his left eye with deep blue eyes , had about 3 pounds of mental on his face. Wearing a sleeveless black t-shirt, jeans, boots, a dog collar, has tattoss over all and huge muscles. He could beat up Tank in a second! Misty's jaw dropped to the ground when she saw him.
"Hi, I couldnt help to notice you. Im Pierce."
Misty smiled at him. Totally smitten by him,.
"Hi, Im Misty."
Morgana looked at the two at stood up.
"I'll leave you two alone."
Pierce sat dwon as Morgana walked out.
Honker takes his hands off Gosalyns eyes to show a run down apartment.
"Well what do you think?" Honker asked.
Gosalyn looked around in horror. Their was mice running around and just gave her the creeps.
"You got to be kidding me. Im not living here!"
"I know its not much. But its all we can afford."
"Honker..."
"Just think about it Gos. There is so much you can do here. The possibilities are endless."
"Honk, I am sorry. But Im not staying here."
Honker sighed.
"Alright, back to the hotel it is."
They walked out.
Morgana is at the tower talking to Drake.
"Drake I telling you. Gosalyn doesnt this marriage."
"Really?" He asked.
"Oh yeah. When I saw her today she did not look like a happy newly wed."
"When did you see her?"
"This afternoon at the pizza king."
"I dont know whats going on with her."
"I dont think she knows either." Morgana said.
Drake sighed and shook his head, while Morgana rubbed his back.
Gosalyn and Honker arrive back at the hotel only to find that they cant stay there anymore.
"What do you men we cant stay here?"
"Youre stay was just for one night sir."
"I cant believe this! Now what do we do?"
Gosalyn thought about to and looked at him.
"Honk, we have no other choice."
"I know but that means that we will have to live with Tank."
"What other choice do we have?"
Back at the Muddle foots..
"Mom, is it okay if we stay here?"
Binki gasped and hugged them tight.
"Of course! I never kicked you okay here. You should of came here first."
"Welcome to the family Gos!" Herb said.
Gosalyn smiled and looked back at her house and sighed.
"Um thanks. I better tell Morgana and my dad where to find me now."
"You want me to go with you? He already hates me."
"Its up to you Honk."
The two of them walked away and Binki and Herb hugged each other.
"They grow up so fast." Binki said.
In the tower Gosalyn and Honker walk in.
"How did apartment shopping go?"
"Um.. it went. Nothing we wanted."
Drake just stood there looking at a map.
"Oh, is it back to the hotel?"
"Nope, theyre on their own. I couldnt afford them again."
"So, where are you two staying at?"
"At Honkers parents house."
"Oh, thats good." Morgana said.
"Yeah, we think so." Honker said.
Gosalyn just wanted her dad to look at her once!
"Good, so that means that you can come and get youre stuff later." Drake said.
"Yeah, we can do that." Gosalyn said whipping away a tear.
"Well come on Gos. We better go." Honker said.
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye kids."
As they walked away Morgana glared at him again.
"Why did you do that?"
"Tough love. I think I know a way out of this whole thing. But I need youre help."
Morgana looked confused.
The kids are back at the house and everybody is sitting on the couch, Tank is on a date with somebody else.
Gosalyn keeps looking over at Herb and Binki and thinking about is that how shes going to turn out to be.
She quickly shook the thoughts out of her head. When the door bell rang, Gosalyn was the first one to get up.
"Ill get it!"
When she answered it Morgana and Misty was standing there.
"Hey Gos, are you up for a little college shopping?" Misty asked.
Gosalyn nodded her head and Honker walked up to them.
"Whats going on?"
"College shopping, I guess."
"Sounds like fun! Let me get my shoes on." Honker said.
"Oh sorry Honk. But its only a girls trip. Maybe next time." Morgana said.
Honker paused and looked at Gosalyn worried.
"Oh, Gosalyn you dont want to go. If I cant go right?"
"Honk, I have always wanted to go to college. So of course I want to go."
"But we're married now. Shouldn't we do it together?"
"Honk, it's going to be okay."
"I know but..."
"Dont worry Honk. Ill have her back before night time." Morgana said.
Gosalyn grabs her purse and headed out of the house with them.
Honker watched as as she walked out. He didnt like this her going out with out him. Theyre married now!
In the car Misty is telling Gosalyn about Dylan.
"Whats with the grin Misty I know that Tank didnt do it."
"I met somebody."
"Really? Who? Whats his name? Whats he like? Wheres hes from?"
"At the pizza king. His names Pierce. I have a picture of him."
She pulled out her cell phone and showed a picture of him.
"Isnt he hot!"
Gosalyn laughed.
"Hes youre type."
"Yup, and we have a date tomorrow night."
"So what about Tank?"
"He doesnt need to know."
"Ooh, you are so bad."
"Why should he be the only to have fun."
The girls giggle and Morgana looks back and smiled at them.
They arrived at the local college and walked around.
"This place is totally cool!"
"Yeah and to think Gos. If you wasnt married to Honker. The two of us could be dorm mates." Misty said.
"Yeah." Gosalyn said.
She paused and looked down at the ground and shook the thoughts out of her head and ran to catch up with them.
Back at Honker..
He is walking around in circles waiting for her to come back.
"Maybe I should call her."
"Then call her." Tank answered.
"No, cause then shell think that Im spying on her."
"Then dont."
"But what if something happened to them."
"Honk, Im sure shes fine."
"But shes my wife! Im not going to calm down until she shows up."
Tank rolled his eyes and continued to watch TV.
Hours past and the girls get back in the car.
"That place is so wicked awesome!" Misty said.
"I know! Morgana do you think that if my dad wouldnt give me money to go to college. That you can represent me."
"Of course Ill recommend you Gos. But you probably need to ask Honker if you can go first."
Gosalyn just looks at her stunned.
To Be Continued..
Previews for the next chapter
"Gosalyn. Dont you get it! Theyre trying to break us up!"
"No theyre not! I dont need somebody else to tell me that theres more to life then the two us!"
She storms out of the house and slams the door behind her.
Tank sees Misty talking to Pierce.
"Whose this?"
