Chapter 10:
Gosalyn is being released from the hospital and Drake
She's sitting in a wheel chair, her dad is pushing her out.
Gosalyn keeps looking around the room.
"Gosalyn, you okay?" Drake asked.
"Yeah, I guess. I swear I saw Max in here." Gosalyn said.
"Max? Oh no, he wasn't in here. There's police officers all around making sure that it doesn't."
"Dad, do I really need my own body guard?" Gosalyn asked.
"I think you do. It's for your own safety."
They reached the car, Drake opened the door and helped Gosalyn in.
He then closed the door and walked over to the driver side.
He started up the car. "Trust me Gos. You wouldn't even know they are there." Drake said as they drove off.
Gosalyn rolled her eyes and looked at her reflection in the window.
They arrived back at home, Drake helps her walk to the door.
"I'm just glad to be home." Gosalyn said.
"I bet you're excited to see all of you're friends too."
"Yeah, but that can wait till later. I just want to be home alone." She said.
Drake chuckled nervously about that.
As the two of them walked into the house, everybody jumped up and screamed.
"Surprise!" They all yelled.
Gosalyn faked a big grin on her face. "Oh, what a surprise. I had no idea." She said.
She glared at her dad who was whistling away.
Gosalyn rolled her eyes and walked over to Honker and Ali.
"Hey, guys!" She exclaimed.
"Hey." Ali said.
Honker smiled at her.
Gosalyn looked around and didn't see Becky.
"Where's Becky?" She asked.
Max and Becky are sitting in the shack.
"I just wish that this whole ideal will go away." Max said.
Becky thought about something and got a grin on her face.
"I just remember something that Gosalyn told me a couple of months ago."
'What?" Max asked.
"Well, you remember when Honker and Gosalyn had that big fight about his exgirlfriend Jill?"
"Yeah."
"Well, Gosalyn told me that she set the whole thing up that night."
"You mean the video tape of Jill with the other guy?"
Becky nodded her head. "That very one."
"Oooh. That would kill Honker, if he ever found out."
"Exactly, and she would do anything to keep it a secret."
"We have her numbered." Max mussed.
Becky chuckled and walked out of the shack.
'I'm going to pay a visit for her." Becky said.
Ali and Honker shrugged. "Don't know. Haven't seen her in awhile." Ali said.
Just then Becky showed up at Gosalyn's house.
"Gos, can I see you for a minute?" Becky asked.
Gosalyn nodded her head and walked over to Becky.
"What's up?" She asked.
"Let's go someplace private." Becky said.
Gosalyn just raised an eyebrow at her and followed her behind the house.
'Okay, good we're alone."
"What's this about Becky?" Gosalyn asked.
"I'm going to lay this out for you. Either you drop the charges against Max or else."
Gosalyn was shocked about that. "What? He drove drunk and almost killed me not to mention he almost raped me. And you want me to drop the charges? Why?"
"Looks like you and Honker are getting along fine."
"Where you getting at Becky?"
"Remember a couple of months ago when you and Honker got into a fight. As I recall you made it all possible. After how many times he told you to stay out of it."
"I had no choice! She was using him to get back at her ex. Which is what Max did to me. I wasn't going to let her use my best friend like that."
"That's very interesting, Gosalyn. Do you think Honker would feel the same way?" Becky asked.
Gosalyn's eyes widen when she said that. "You wouldn't."
"I would. Oh and there he is now. Hey,Honk."
"Shh! Okay, you made you're point." Gosalyn said.
"Gosalyn." Honker called for her.
"I got to go." Gosalyn said.
She started to walk away. "Just think about it Gosalyn." Becky called.
Gosalyn walked back to Honker and Ali.
"Hey." She said.
"What did Becky want?" Ali asked.
"Just wanted to give me some friendly advice." Gosalyn said.
"Yeah, right. She's the one who could use the advice. Her boyfriend is a rapist and she knows it. If I ever see Max again I will kill him!" Honker said.
"Honker, I'm sure that Max feels the pain of everything right now. He doesn't need you to add more." Gosalyn said.
"What ever." Honker said, he just walked away from them.
Gosalyn looked confused at that. "What's his problem?" She asked.
Ali shrugged. "I don't know, but I did bring you're school work that you need to catch up on." Ali said.
"You're kidding me! I almost died and they still want me to do homework?" Gosalyn asked.
Ali chuckled. "Yeah, crazy huh?"
"Yup." Gosalyn added.
With Max and Becky.
Becky brings Max some sandwiches and a pop.
"Hey, Max. I bought you some food." She said.
Max took the sandwiches from her.
"Oh, great. So, how did it go?" Max said.
"It went good. I got my point clear and now she was some stuff to think about." Becky said.
"Good, cause I really don't want to go to jail." Max said.
"Don't worry Hun, you wouldn't. If Gosalyn knows better." Becky said.
Back with Gosalyn and the others.
"So how long are you grounded for this time?" Ali asked.
Gosalyn shrugged. "I don't really know yet. My dad's just happy that I'm alive that he forgot about it." She mussed.
"Well, I better head home. My mom will freak out if I'm more then 5 minutes." Ali said.
"Oh, I know that all too well. I'll see you tomorrow then." Gosalyn said.
Ali then walked away, Gosalyn looked around and thought about what Becky had said.
'I'll tell Honker all about what had happened that night if you don't drop the charges.' Becky's voice said.
"Gosalyn, can you come here for a minute?" Drake asked.
Gosalyn shook the thoughts out of her head and walked towards her dad.
"What's up dad?" She asked.
Drake hugged her tight and started to cry.
"I thought that I was never going to hug you again." He cried.
Gosalyn's eyes widen when he hugged her.
"Oh, I'm glad too, dad. But uh.. can you let go of me? I can't breath." She said.
Drake chuckled and let go of Gosalyn.
"Sorry, about that." Drake mussed.
Gosalyn shrugged. "It's okay." Gosalyn said.
It's later that night and Gosalyn is in her room.
She's looking in the mirror.
'Now who will ever want to date me?' She thought to herself.
She walked to her bed and pulled the covers and fell asleep.
It's the following day Gosalyn is in the bathroom.
She keeps thinking about what happened at the party.
She walks out of the shower, grabs a towel from the rack and walks over to the mirror.
She whips the mirror clean and gasps when she saw her reflection.
'God, I look like one of those zombies from the movies.' She thought to herself.
She looks back at her reflection and saw Max's relaxing just gearing at her.
Gosalyn gasped and looked behind her. There was nobody there, she sighed.
Just then there was light outage.
Gosalyn panicked. "Where's the flash light? Where's the flash light?" She asked.
As she looked through the drawers, she finally found one.
"Ah ha there it is!" She exclaimed.
She grabbed it and turned it on and headed out.
She headed down the stairs. "Dad? Launch Pad? The lights went out again." She said.
She stopped in the living room when she felt somebody touch her shoulder.
Gosalyn froze and gasped. Somebody was breathing hard, she reached for the hand, grabbed it flipped the person onto the floor.
"Whoa." The person yelled.
The lights turned back on and Drake was on the floor in pain.
"Dad, you okay?" Gosalyn asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. I needed to check to see if I needed to run the sweeper anyways in here." He mussed.
He got up and dusted himself off.
"You okay?' He asked.
Gosalyn shrugged. "I guess so." She replied.
"Gos, I know how you feel." He said.
Gosalyn didn't answer.
Drake hugged her." It's going to be okay. Tomorrow is the trail and you can relax today. And there's a police officer waiting outside if anything should happen," He said.
Gosalyn sighed and looked up at him.
"I think I should tell you everything about that night dad." Gosalyn said.
She told him the story about that night.
When she was done Drake couldn't hold his anger in.
"That jerk, I'm going to rip his legs apart and then beat him up with one." Drake said.
He was about to get up when Gosalyn grabbed him.
"Dad! No! Stop!" She exclaimed.
"Gosalyn, don't tell me you're still defending that jerk!" Drake asked.
Gosalyn shook her head. "No, not at all." She said.
Launch Pad came running in.
"Quaker Jack is at the toy factory D.W." Launch Pad said.
"Let the police handle it. I need to stay here and take care of Gos." Drake said.
"Dad, why don't you go? I'll be fine." Gosalyn said.
Drake raised an eyebrow at that. "Oh yeah, you call being thrown from a car, having brain surgery and almost dying fine?" He asked.
"Okay I'm not a hundred percent better. But it will mean a lot to me if you would act more normal. Besides Grandma is here. Not to mention Mr. Muscles outside." Gosalyn replied.
"You sure?" Drake asked.
Gosalyn nodded her head.
"Yeah, I have homework to catch up on. I can't believe that they still want me to do it." She mussed.
"I don't think…" Drake trailed on.
"Dad, if I start to get overwhelmed. I'll stop and take a breath or a walk." Gosalyn said.
"A walk? Gosalyn, I don't think that's a good idea." Drake said.
"Dad, relax. I doubt that anything will happen." Gosalyn replied.
"Well, okay. But you call me for anything. If you're head starts to throb at all, you call me. You hear me?" Drake asked.
Gosalyn nodded her head and chuckled.
"I will dad. Now go." She said.
Drake kissed Gosalyn's bandaged head and him and Launch Pad took off.
Gosalyn sighed.
Drake and Launch Pad are on patrol.
"Gosalyn, seems to be doing well." Launch Pad said.
"No, L.P. It's an act."
"What are you talking about D.W?" Launch Pad asked.
Darkwing sighed. "She's putting up a front. So I wouldn't worry about her."
"She's that scared?"
"She isn't saying anything to me about it. But I can tell she still thinks about what happened."
"Wow, and tomorrow she's going to face him in court." Launch Pad said.
Darkwing nodded his head. "Yeah, and I just hope to God that she can keep it together." Darkwing said.
Gosalyn sighed and picked up her school books from the table.
"Okay, let's see.." Gosalyn trailed on.
She looked down at her book and right there had a flash back.
"Get off of me!" Gosalyn cried out.
"This wouldn't take long." Max said.
Gosalyn gasps and shook the thoughts out of her head.
"Okay, Gos snap out of it! I need to get this done." She said as she slapped her face.
She looked back at her sleeping grandma and sighed.
"I really need to get this done. I don't want to be held back." She said.
She looked back at it and took another deep breath.
She got another flashback. Max is running after her and tacks her down.
"Ahh!" She exclaimed.
"Shut up!" Max exclaimed as he smacked her across the face.
Gosalyn shakes out of it and closed her matchbook.
She looked around. "I need to get out of here or something." She said.
She writes a note and taped it to her grandma's forehead and walked out of the house.
The police officer stopped her. "Where you going?" He asked.
"I'm going out for walk." Gosalyn said.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll be right behind you."
"That's okay, it's not necessary."
"Yes, it is. It's my job."
Gosalyn rolled her eyes and walked ahead.
"This is crazy. I can't even go out for walk anymore by myself." She said.
Gosalyn stopped, pulled out a compact from her messenger bag.
She heard footsteps behind her she paused for a minute.
"Stay back! I have a… hairbrush and I know how to use it." She said as she pulled the brush out.
Honker walks out of the bushes and the guard stopped him and put him in a head lock.
"Ahh!" Honker exclaimed.
Gosalyn gasped and shook her head. "Steve! No, it's okay. Honker is my best friend." Gosalyn said.
"Are yours sure about that?" Steve asked.
"Yes, Steve I'm fine. He was at the party last night remember?" Gosalyn said.
Steve then let go of Honker.
"Sorry about that." Gosalyn said.
"It's okay. What's with the henchman?"
Gosalyn sighed. "My dad hired him to protect me from Max."
"Oh,."
Gosalyn shrugged. "So, is there anything you wanted or…"
"Nothing, I just wanted to see how you doing."
"I'm fine." She said.
"Really? You don't look fine." He said.
"Yes Doctor Honker I'm fine." She said.
"Sorry, I asked." He said.
He started to walk away and Gosalyn sighed.
"Honk, wait. I'm sorry. I just came out here not to think about it. But it's not helping. I close my eyes and he's there. He's in my dreams, I can't get out of my head. No matter how hard I try. He's always there. Not to mention I have to see him in the court tomorrow. And with muscles around me 24/7. I'm little uneasy." She said.
Honker smiled at her. "I wish that I could take those bad memories away for you." Honker said.
"Aw, that's sweet Honk. I don't know what I'd do with out you in my life." She said.
Honker blushed. "You're just saying that Gos." Honker said.
"No, I'm not. You're like my best friend Honker." She said.
Honker gasped when he heard that, grabbed a stick and pretended to stab himself with it.
Gosalyn turned around and looked at him. He throws the stick away and chuckled.
"I better head home before my dad freaks out. Bye Honk man." Gosalyn said.
Gosalyn playfully shoved Honker and walked away with Steve right behind her.
Honker watched her walk away. "Yeah best friends." He mussed.
He looked up at the sky and sighed. He then picked up a rock and tossed it into the field.
It crashed into a local house. "Hey, what happened to my window?" The person asked.
"Ahh!" Honker exclaimed as he took off running.
Gosalyn walked back to her house.
"You want me to check in there?" Steve asked.
"No, it's okay Steve. I doubt Max will be in there."
"You sure? You can't ever be too sure. He can be hiding in everything." Steve said.
Gosalyn rolled her eyes. "Steve, you watch too many movies. Later." Gosalyn said.
She walked into the house, closed the door behind her.
"Dad? Launch Pad? You home?" She called out.
There was no answer only her grandma snoring.
"Dad, must be still out on patrol." She said.
She walks into the living room and sat down on the couch.
She picks up the controller and turns on the TV.
"Tonight on Cops we're after a serial rapist." The announcer said.
Gosalyn quickly turned the channel.
"We're talking to a women who survived a car crash." The reporter said.
Gosalyn gasped and turned off the TV.
"Too much TV isn't good for you anyways." She mussed.
Max and Becky are standing outside.
"You okay?" Becky asked.
Max shrugged.
Just then a net came from nowhere and tied Max up and he went flying to the top of the roof.
"Ahh!" Max cried out.
"MAX!" Becky exclaimed.
Max lands on the roof top and moans.
"Get up." A voice said.
"Whose there?" Max asked.
"I said GET UP!" The voice said again.
Max quickly got up and tossed the net off of him.
An arrow shot out of the air and attached Max to the wall.
"Ahh." Max cried out.
Darkwing comes walking towards him.
"Maxwell Duck, we meet again." Darkwing said.
"Darkwing.." Max said.
"So, you think that you can hide from everybody? Including me?" Darkwing said.
"No, I wasn't hiding." Max said.
"Oh, really? So you're just staying in this shack for no reason?"
"I needed to get away."
"Oh? I think that you are the biggest jerk in the world. First you get involved with a little girl, get drunk, and have her in the car with you. It crashed, she almost lost her life because of you! Now I hear that there's more to the story. Like you trying to rape her."
"What! No, I didn't do that." Max said.
Darkwing chuckled and pulled out his gas gun and aimed at him.
"Like I believe that. You're a some piece of work, you know that? You actually believe that anybody would that story?"
"She was all over me!" Max exclaimed.
"Shut up!" Darkwing said.
He still had his gun aimed at Max.
Max was shaking like crazy.
"What you scared of Max? Do I scare you?"
"A little."
"Good."
Darkwing looked at Max and back at his gas gun.
"You know Max this gas gun is one piece of work. I can shoot at anything I want. And I wouldn't leave a mark. So I could get off Scott free. Isn't that something?"
"Yeah, that's really something." Max said.
"Yup, it sure is. I had this for as long as I can remember."
Max was crying hard and shaking.
"Please, don't kill me Darkwing." He cried.
Darkwing looked at him and rolled his eyes. He put his gun away.
"Get up, I wasn't really going to hurt you. I'm not going to go down to you're level." Darkwing said.
Max got up and whipped his eyes.
"Oh, thank you." Max said.
Darkwing shot his gas gun with a hook in it. He flies away.
Max whimpered a little bit, looked around. There was no way he could get down.
"How am I supposed to get down?" Max asked.
"Jump, it wouldn't hurt much." Darkwing called out from a distance.
It's later that night and Gosalyn is sitting on the railing outside the house looking at the sky. Steve is near by keeping an eye on her.
Honker comes walking up to her, Steve just nodded his head and let him.
"Hey." Gosalyn said.
"How did you know it was me?" Honker asked.
"Please Honk, we've been best friends since we was young. I know you're walk." She said.
Honker was surprised by that. "Really?" He asked hopefully.
"I saw you're reflection in the window." She said.
He sat down next to her and looked at the sky.
Gosalyn sighed. "I'm thinking about just drop the charges." She said.
"WHAT! Why!"
"But he lied Gos!"
"I know, but I'm better and I just want to drop it." She said.
She hopped down and was about to walk in when Honker stopped her.
"OMG! You still have feelings for that jerk!" Honker exclaimed.
Gosalyn stopped in her tracks and turned to him.
"What? Don't be stupid." She asked.
"You can't fool me Gos. I know you better then anyone. And you think that if you drop everything. That way Max wouldn't think any less of you."
"You're crazy!"
She started to walk away and he grabbed her hand.
"Okay, then look at me in the eyes and tell me that." He said.
Gosalyn turned around.
"Oh, yeah. That's it Honk. I still have feelings for somebody who tried to rape me, kill me." She said.
"Then what is it?" Honker asked.
"I can't tell you." Gosalyn said.
"You can't tell me! Gos, I'm you're best friend. You can tell me anything." Honker said.
"No I can't. Just drop it okay?"
"Gos, look at what he did to you! I mean he turned you into something that you hate. And do you think that for one second that he would be interested in you if you wasn't dressed like this?"
"I don't need this."
"Yes, you do. I'm trying to get some sense into you."
"Honk, let's just drop it okay. I just want to get on with my life."
"Do you think that he loved you at all?"
"No guy was interested in me!"
"I DID!" Honker exclaimed.
Gosalyn was shocked and turned around.
"I loved you before the make up, the sexy clothes. Back when we had burping contest. I mean, the old you. I don't even know this new you." Honker said.
"Honk, I.." Gosalyn trailed.
"No, you know what. Just go leave me alone. Cause I'm tired of being just you're friend and watching you get you're heart broke with other guys. I'm not going to go through that again. You were there for me with the whole Jill thing. But I'm not good enough for you huh? And I'll probably never will." Honker said.
Gosalyn sighed and headed back to her house.
Honker sighed as he watched her walk over.
She's now back into her room looking at herself in the mirror.
'Look at yourself Gosalyn. He turned you into something that you hate. I don't even know you anymore.' Honker's voice said in her head.
She shook the thoughts out of her head and looked at her room.
It wasn't the same room anymore, ever since she was interested in Max. It was decorated in pink girly stuff and boy bands.
"When do I give a damn what the others think about me?" She said.
She walked over to her radio and bumped into, it turned on.
The song 'Bad reputation' from Shrek came on.
'I don't give a damn about my reputation.
You're living in the past it's a new generation.
A girl is going to do what she wants to and that's
What's I'm going to do
And I don't give a damn about my reputation'
Gosalyn looks in the mirror and narrows her eyes and slams her fist into it.
'Oh no, not me
And I don't give a damn about my reputation.
Never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only feeling good
When I'm having fun
When I don't have to please no one
And I don't give a damn about my bad reputation.'
Gosalyn walks over to her closet and throws all of her preppy clothes on the floor pulls out her old clothes, smiles.
'Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me'
Gosalyn walks over to her posters and rips them up, she then puts all her old posters back up.
'I don't give a damn
About my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care
If I'm strange
I ain't gonna change'
Gosalyn grabs her black heavy construction boots from her closet and sits down and ties them up.
'And I'm never gonna care
About my bad reputation'
Gosalyn sits down on her stool next to her dresser. She puts her eyebrow ring back on, grabs the wig that Launch Pad had given her for a get well present. She trims it just right.
'Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me'
She puts the wig on and brushed, she winked,
'And I don't give a damnAbout my reputationThe world's in troubleThere's no communicationAnd everyone can sayWhat they want to sayIt never gets better anywaySo why should I careabout a bad reputation, anywayOh no, not meOh no, not meOh no, Not Me,oh no, not me.'
Gosalyn is standing by her garbage can and she tossed all of her pictures of Max in there. She takes a match and lights it up and watches the flames go up.
The song ends and Gosalyn is standing in the middle of her messy room.
She's wearing her purple and pink jersey with a vintage army jacket that she bought at the local theft store with baggy green cargo pants with her black construction boots. The wig is layered to the shoulders.
"The Gos is back." She said proudly.
Drake is downstairs in the kitchen making him a snack.
"Oh boy, Carmel popcorn my favorite." He said.
Just then Gosalyn comes on her skate board and grabs the bowl from him.
"Alright! Carmel popcorn! Thanks pop." She said.
She did a turn around and skated out of the kitchen.
Drake just stood there amazed.
He ran out of the kitchen and saw Gosalyn jump from her skateboard onto the couch and sat down.
"Gosalyn! You're back to normal!" Drake exclaimed.
Gosalyn turned around. "Yeah, I guess my stupid phrase is over with." She said with a mouth full of food.
Drake sighed and rolled his eyes. "Yes, she's back." He said.
He hugged Gosalyn tight and tries to get some of the pop corn.
"Hey, get your own." Gosalyn said.
"That is mine" Drake said.
Later that night Gosalyn is wearing a sports jersey and pajama shorts looking out the window.
'I loved you before the make up, the sexy clothes. I loved you Gosalyn!' She kept thinking to herself.
She shook the thoughts out of her head.
Drake knocks on the door and walks in.
"Want to talk about it?"
"No, not really."
"Steve told me that you and Honker had a fight."
Gosalyn sighed and looked out the window.
"That bad huh?"
"He said he loves me."
"Well, I could have told you that."
"Dad, I don't know what to do about it."
"Do you love him?"
Gosalyn shrugged. "I never really thought about it before. I mean, he's always been my best friend." Gosalyn said.
"Well they say good friends make good couples."
"I guess."
"Look, don't think about it much. Just do what comes natural." Drake said
He kissed Gosalyn good night and headed out of the room.
Gosalyn watched as he walked out, then looked back out the window.
The next day in court.
Gosalyn is sitting in the witness stand.
"So, Gosalyn. Will you please tell the court when you met Mr. Duck?" Ms. Swan asked.
Gosalyn sighed and nodded her head. "It was April 16th during Lunch time."
"What happened?"
"He came up to me and asked me if I wanted to hang out with him."
"What did you say?"
"I really didn't say anything. I was shocked mostly."
"Why's that?"
"Well, we're not exactly in the same friend groups."
"Meaning?"
"He's popular and I hang out with the jocks."
"So did you hang out with him?"
"Yes, in fact we went to Crimson lights. I told him that I had to ask my dad if I could go. But he kept reminding me that I wouldn't get caught."
"What happened that night?"
"Everything was going good until he pulled out a condom."
"A condom? What did you do?"
"I just froze. I didn't know what to say."
"Well what did he say?"
"He told me that I should keep it incase something happens."
"And did you?"
"Yes, I kept it in my purse."
"Let's skip to the night of the party."
"Max, told me to try to get out of being grounded."
"Did you?"
Gosalyn nodded her head.
"Yes, it didn't take long."
"What happened at the party?"
Gosalyn took another deep breath.
"I arrived there with Ali and Honker. I saw Max and his girlfriend Becky fighting. He was also drinking. I went up to him and just wanted to talk with him. But he walked away from me. Then after the party was starting to die out, I was going to help him walk home. He grabbed my hand and forced me down. He started torching me all over. I cried for him to stop. But he didn't care. Final I had enough and I kicked him in the gut and started to take off. He chased me down and tackled me to the ground. When I begged him to let me go. He slapped me so hard so uncoscince. The next thing I remember is waking up in his car. Which was driving very fast. I didn't know who was driving and I told him to slow down. And then crashed." Gosalyn said.
"No further questions." Swan said.
"Let's have a recess and then come back for the verdict." The judge said.
Gosalyn sighed and got off the chair and walked back to her dad.
Gosalyn sees Honker talking to Becky.
Honker just glared back at Gosalyn.
Gosalyn walked over to them.
"How could you? I told you to let me handle it! And I don't even know if I can believe you anymore!"
"Honk, please just let me explain."
"Explain what? You went behind my back after I told you not to."
"Honker pleases." Gosalyn said.
"No!" Honker said.
He walked away from Gosalyn and she just stood there looking hurt.
Becky just smiled at Gosalyn.
"Now you know what it feels like to have you're life upside down."
Gosalyn sniffed and narrowed her eyes at Becky.
"I can't believe you Becky. You were at my bed side at the hospital. Begging me to forgive Max. And now that I remember everything that happened. I even risked my life to warn you about him. Cause I thought we was friends."
"Well you thought wrong."
Drake walked up to her. "Come on Gosalyn, there going to say the verdict." He said.
They walked back into court house and waited for the verdict.
"Jury, do you have a verdict?" The judge asked.
"Yes,"
"What is it?"
"We find the defended Maxwell Duck guilty of all charges." The jury said.
Max and Becky were dumbstruck when they heard that, Gosalyn and Drake hugged each other, cried.
"Come on Gosalyn, let's go home." Drake said.
The two of them walked out of the court house.
They arrived back at home, Gosalyn sees Honker outside.
Honker just walked back to his back yard.
Gosalyn sighed and walked over to his house with Steve right behind.
"Honk, I need to talk to you."
"No, Gos. I told you what I had to say and I don't have anything else to say." He said.
He started to walk away. "Honker! Will you just.." Gosalyn said.
Honker just walked away and headed to the back doors.
"Honker please." Gosalyn cried.
Honker just walked into the house and closed the door.
" I SAID I WAS SORRY Nerd!" She exclaimed.
As she stumped back to her house.
She walked back to her house, throw her boots off. She slammed the door.
"Stupid nerd! God, sometimes I just want to smash his head. I don't even know why I'm still his friend." She said.
Drake walks up to her. "Hmm.. you're pretty upset over something like this."
"Well, he wouldn't even let me talk. Every time I do he keeps walking away. Men I swear." Gosalyn said as she walked back to her room.
"She's in deep denial." Drake said.
Gosalyn is in her room.
"Man, I was so stupid! To think I was going to tell him that…. Oh god. I'm not going to make that mistake again." She said.
She fell down on her bed and growled. "Stupid Honker!" She exclaimed.
A picture of her and Honker feel on her.
"Ouch. What the.." She said as she rubbed her head.
She picked it up and looked at it.
"He is kind of cute in a nerdy way." She said.
She quickly shook the thoughts out of her head, started slapping her face.
"Get a grip girl. I don't want to get in more trouble. And yet, he is the coolest nerd I know." She said.
She put the picture back down and turned on the radio and a love song came.
"Okay, I get it! You want me to talk to Honker. I get it!" She exclaimed.
Later that night..
They were all at The Mallards home to celebrate.
Honker and Gosalyn are keeping their distance from each other
They haven't spoken since the fight.
"Gosalyn, I am so glad that you're better." Grandma said.
Gosalyn smiled. "Yeah, me too." She said.
"Excuse me." She said.
She went walking over to Honker.
"Hey, Honk." She said.
Honker looked up at her.
"Look, I know you're upset with me. But you're going to talk to me, if you like it or not." She said.
"Why, so you can lie to me again?." He asked.
"I said I was sorry."
"Like I believe that."
Gosalyn rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand and headed out of the house.
Gosalyn and Honker are walking around the neighborhood.
"Look, can we get this over with? I'm missing the party." Honker said.
"Honker, trust me you're not missing much. Honk, I am so sorry about everything what happened."
"Did I just hear Gosalyn Mallard say she's sorry?"
'Yeah, well don't get used to it. It was only a one time thing." She said.
"Well, I'm sorry too. I know what Jill did. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you like that."
The two of them laughed and then it became quite.
Gosalyn and Honker looked at each other and looked away.
"I was so stupid to think that somebody like Max Duck would be interested in me."
"You not stupid Gosalyn. I was stupid to think that Jill was into me."
"So then it's a settled. We're both stupid." Gosalyn said.
The two of them chuckled and laughed about that.
"Honk, did you mean what you said earlier?" She asked.
Honker sighed. "I didn't mean it, it just came out." He said.
"Really? It just came out?" Gosalyn asked.
" Yes, I meant it okay. I'm sick and tired of being just you're friend. I think about you day and night Gosalyn. I loved you ever since we first met." Honker said.
Gosalyn just stood there speechless.
"Great, now you're probably not going to talk to me ever again." Honker said
He was about to walk away when Gosalyn grabs his hand.
"Honker, shut up." Gosalyn said.
She grabbed him close to her and kissed him on the lips.
Honkers eyes widen when she did and then he loosens up and started to kiss her back.
The End
