Chapter 11
Gosalyn is looking all over for Hunter and starting to panic.
"No! I can't lose him too! Hunter! This isn't funny! Stop this before I kick you're butt!" She exclaimed.
When she couldn't find him she took a deep breath and picked up her cell phone and dialed Morgana's. Maybe he dropped it on the way home.
"She's so going to kill him when she finds out…. Hey Morgana this is Gosalyn…. I'm good, I guess… Uh… by any chance is Hunter home with you?…. He's not?…. Well he was here with me and we were working on the case. We found a lead! You're not going to believe it!…Oh yeah, sorry. Anyways he said that he was going to get some air when he just disappeared. The only thing that I could find is his cell phone… I'm at the lab… Okay, I'll see you there." She hung up the phone and shook her head.
"Oh yeah, he is going to get grounded for a life after this. Wow, it sounds weird saying that and not being me." She mussed.
Morgana hangs up the phone and turns to Darkwing.
"That was Gosalyn. Hunter has gone missing!" She exclaimed.
"Well didn't you say that he always just takes off?" He asked.
"Not with Gosalyn. Those two always knows where the other one is. They are super close. If something would have happened to him! I would never forgive myself!" She exclaimed.
"Don't worry Morgana we'll find him! Come on!" Drake exclaimed.
The two of them took off running out of the house.
Launch Pad runs out of his basement as well, she had called him as well.
"Hang on! Little buddy! I wouldn't lose you too." Launch Pad said.
Gosalyn is in her lab walking around in circles and drinking her drink. This is the fourth or fifth drink she had in 5 minutes.
"Not good. Not good." She said.
Everybody finally showed in her lab.
"Gos? What happened?" Darkwing asked.
"He just vanished! He was here one second and then the next he's gone. It's all my fault! I shouldn't have let him out of my sight!" She exclaimed.
"It's okay Gos. Just tell us what all happened."
"I just did! He just vanished!" She cried.
"I think you had too many of those drinks." Darkwing said taking the drink away from her.
She then jumped on him to get it from him.
"No! I need it to focus! My brain doesn't work without it!" She exclaimed.
Launch Pad grabbed it from Drake and handed it back to Gosalyn.
"Here, now please focus. What all happened." He said.
Drake didn't like how she was so addicted to that drink.
"Well we were working on the case. He found a clue that could turn everything around. The scar on Negaduck's left eye that Hunter gave him."
"What scar?" Darkwing asked.
"Oh, yeah. You weren't there. Well Negaduck tried to kidnap him when he was 7 years old and Hunter scratched him to get away. It's a permanent mark on him now. But nobody else knows about it."
"Oh, what about it?" Darkwing asked.
Gosalyn pulled up the pictures on her computer.
"Look, one the body that was found. The scar is missing."
They all gasped as they looked at it.
"But that means..:"
"Correct it's not NegaDuck. Launch Pad didn't kill him."
"Then who is…"
"That's what we was working on when he just disappeared." Gosalyn said.
Just then another news bulletin came on and Negaduck along with Misty showed up.
"So you losers finally figured out my secret huh? Well this last trip is my wife's favorite time. And Quiverwing knows what I'm talking about. So to get you're precious son back. You have to find me first. So long losers."
He laughs and they tossed an unconscious Hunter into the time top and took off.
Gosalyn gasped and looked at everybody with horror.
"NO! I can't do it L.P. I can't relive it! It's not fair!" She cried.
The only thing he could do is just smile at her for a second. He knew what she was going through. He had gone through the same thing with his wife and daughter and hugged her as tight as he could.
"I know how you feel Gos. I really do, believe me. But Gosalyn you have to go back and face you're fears of it. Maybe you'll finally see that there was nothing you could do to save him. That's what happened to me. I got there too late. But maybe you will have better luck or find something that you didn't see before."
Gosalyn sighed and looked at everybody and nodded her head.
"All right, I'll do it. I wouldn't enjoy it though." She cried.,
"That's my girl! And I didn't say that you would." Launch Pad said.
Darkwing watched as the two of them bonded and was feeling left out. He wasn't used to sharing Gosalyn's attention like that before.
They all took off to the Thunder Quack.
Inside the thunder quack..
Gosalyn is going off about McGee going out on a date.
"I mean, I never heard of this girl before! And we all know how bad he is with picking out girls."
"Oh, are you talking from experience?" Morgana teased.
"What? No! We're just friends. I just don't trust his judgment that's all. I mean sure we hooked up. But that was along time ago."
Morgana and Drake just looked at her.
"What? Stop looking at me!" She laughed.
Drake laughed at her getting all embarrassed about that.
"What we need is some music." He laughed.
He turned on the radio and Diamond Rio's "One More Day With You" came on.
Gosalyn laid her head on the window sell and looked out the window.
Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you
Gosalyn thought back to playing with Honker as a kid, being hero's together, him asking her out, first date, first kiss, dancing at the prom together.
One more day
One more time
One more sunset and maybe I'll be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leaving me wishing still, for one more day with you
Launch Pad whipped the tears from his face thinking about his wife and daughter.
First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do, with one more day with you
He thought about his meeting his wife, wedding day, the birth of his daughter, her first birthday
One more day
One more time
One more sunset and maybe I'll be satisfied
But then again
I know what it will do
Leaving me wishing still, for one more day with you
Morgana sighed and looked back at Drake holding his daughters hands. She wished that he could stay here. But she knew that he had to go back to his time. It was the right thing to do.
Leaving me wishing still for one more day with you
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
The song ended and Drake looked at everybody's sad faces, he then thought about something. But shook the thoughts out of his head as they reached the destination.
"Uh.. guys, I think we're here." He said.
They all snapped out of it.
"Oh right." Launch Pad said.
He landed the Thunder Quack and everybody hopped out but Gosalyn was still inside. Not moving, she didn't want to relive it again.
Drake looked at her smiled.
"You coming?" He asked.
"Do I have too?"
He held out his hand and smiled at her again.
"Come on, you're not alone anymore. Don't you trust me?" He asked.
"That's a pretty loaded question dad. But you win." She said.
She grabbed his hand and he helped her up. He gasped at the sight of her other tattoo's
"Ah! How many tattoos do you have?"
"About 8." She replied.
The two of them went to the building where the accident happened. While Launch Pad and Morgana went to look for Hunter.
On the building rooftop Gosalyn and Drake are standing there talking about old times.
"This must be killing you."
"Yeah it is. This is the worst day of my life." She cried.
They then quickly hide in the darkness and the younger Gosalyn and Misty with Honker came running past them.
"You'll wouldn't get away with it Mystic!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
"Oh, yeah try and stop me!" Misty exclaimed back.
Just then the older Misty came out of a smoke and switched arrow bags and disappeared.
Gosalyn is the only one who saw that and gasped.
"NO way! Did you see that dad?" She asked.
"No, see what?" He asked back.
"Misty, the older Misty came and switched bags of arrows on me! That's why…"
Drake looked back and saw that she gone.
"Now where did she go?" He asked.
The older Gosalyn is down on the road looking at the fallen Honker. Tears still running down her face, she then spotted her younger self on the sidewalk, and slowly followed her and watched her toss the Quiverwing gear in the trash and runs off.
She quickly grabs the stuff and runs back to the others.
"Can't find Hunter anywhere." Morgana said.
"I don't think they're here. They probably left." Launch Pad said.
Drake looks at Gosalyn with her gear.
"What's with all that stuff Gos?"
"Something that I should have done a long time ago. I'll tell you when we get back." She replied.
They got back in the Thunder Quack and took off back to the future.
Seconds later they arrived back and Gosalyn ran out of the plane and went to her lab.
"Gosalyn must have found something big." Launch Pad said.
Drake smiled. "I think they picked on the wrong girl." He laughed.
They followed her back in her lab where she was studding the arrows with loud music playing and drinking another drink.
"So what you found?" Launch Pad asked.
"Oh this is big! Really big! These arrows aren't mine! These are really shotty work and they don't have S.H.U.S.H. or mine logo on them. I mean, they cost a butt load of money to get them. I KNEW that they felt different for some reason. But I couldn't think of a reason back then. They thought that I couldn't or wouldn't figure it out! But I did, I mean there is no way that the rope would of broke that easy if they were mine. Which also means that if I had my arrows I could save Honker in a second! But the fact that they switched arrows on me, it messed up my game. Causes I mean these are like rubber! No person would use these for shooting anything at all!" She exclaimed.
"Wow, that's great news Gosalyn!" Drake cheered.
"I know, which also means…." She trailed on as she thought about something.
"I'll be back." She said.
She grabs the gear and takes off running, everybody just scratched their heads trying to figure out what she doing.
She arrived at her apartment and is going through her closet and found an extra bag of arrows.
She set up target outside and went to see if she could actually do it again.
She shot it and sure enough she got a bull's-eye and she couldn't believe that she could still do it.
And then she runs back to her apartment and puts loud music on and grabs her old Quiverwing costume and looks at it closely.
"It needs an update." She said.
She grabs a pair of scissors and started to do some work.
After about 30 minutes she's standing in front of the mirror looking at her reflection.
She's now wearing the updated Quiverwing costume which is a green cape, a purple short sleeve shirt with Q written in black, a green tank top under her shirt, a black and green plaid mini skirt with her belt hanging off her hip, black knee high boots, a black studded chocker with a Q charm on it, a black and green hat, her hair is in pig tails that have green and black strands in it, she covered up her tattoo on her neck with makeup. She stood there with a determent look on her face.
"Quiverwing is back!" She exclaimed.
The scene went black and grey and paused.
