Chapter2:
Gosalyn's Addition
The next morning…
Gosalyn is sleeping in her bed, when the phone rang.
Gosalyn mumbled and reached for her phone under her blankets.
"Yeah?" She asked still half asleep.
"Oh, gee. Did I wake you?" Ali asked.
Gosalyn rubbed her eyes. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" Gosalyn asked.
"It's almost noon." Ali said.
"Mm. I guess righteous indignation isn't really appropriate, then." Gosalyn said.
"Not for you, no. So, did you have fun blowing our plans?" Ali asked.
"I said I was sorry." Gosalyn asked.
"You going to be home today?" Ali asked.
"Yeah, I don't think I have any plans."
"Good. I'll be over then." Ali said.
"So what are you waiting for? Get your butt over here A.S.A.P." Gosalyn said.
"All right." Ali said.
"Only don't rush. I need about an hour to get up." Gosalyn said.
"Are you trying to confuse me?" Ali asked.
Gosalyn just chuckled. "Maybe, see you then." She said.
She hung up the phone
"Bye." Ali said.
She hung up too.
Gosalyn moaned and tied to get up. But she fell back asleep.
An hour later…
Ali walks up to Gosalyn's door and rings the door bell.
Gosalyn answered it, her hair is messed up looks like she just woke up .
"Hey." She said.
"What's with you?" Ali asked.
"After you called I got up, got dressed, and then fell back asleep. You did call, right? 'Cause I don't think I could have dreamed a conversation that nasty." Gosalyn said.
"Is you're dad up yet?" Ali asked.
" I heard something stirring in his room. I'm hoping it wasn't a family of raccoons. (yawns) You want some breakfast?" Gosalyn asked.
"Thanks, but I don't really like to eat breakfast after lunch. It spoils my dinner. So you want to go shopping?" Ali asked.
"I don't know, Ali, I'm really beat. Hey! How you doing?" Gosalyn asked.
Ali looked at her confused. "What do you mean? I'm fine." Ali replied.
Honker then walked up to the door.
"Hi. Hi Ali." Honker said.
Ali looked annoyed when she saw Honker standing there.
"I just stopped by to make sure you didn't get sick from last night." Honker said.
Gosalyn rubbed her head. "I have a headache, that's all about it. Come on in."
"No, you got company." Honker said.
"It is just Ali. Come in." Gosalyn said.
She pulled him in, Drake comes walking down the stairs half asleep.
"Hey kids." He yawned.
"Hey. Mr. M." Honker said.
"Hi." Ali said.
Drake looked at Gosalyn and Honker.
"Say, Ali why don't you help me in the kitchen." He said.
"Why? I don't want to step on Gosalyn's toes. I mean after all she is you're daughter." Ali said.
"You go ahead Ali. I'm not quite up yet. I'll walk Honker back to his house." Gosalyn said.
Before Ali could reply Drake dragged her in.
The two of them walked in the kitchen.
"You can help your self Ali. While I make me some coffee." Drake said.
"You and Gosalyn aren't really morning people aren't you?" She asked.
"The night holds the key." Drake said.
"The key to what?" Ali asked.
"I don't know Ali. It's early." Drake said.
"Why did you bring me in here?" Ali asked.
He filled the coffee pot with water and put it on the stove.
"Oh, I guess I'd figured I'd give her and Honker a couple of minutes." Drake said.
"Don't you think it's weird? They only been dating for a day and he's already inviting himself over?" Ali asked.
Drake chuckled. "No. They've been friends since they were little kids. Honker doesn't need to ask for permission anymore." Drake said.
"But it's too fast." Ali said.
"Hey, sometimes you got to take stuff as it comes. Relax and see what happens." Drake said.
"But you can't think that way about everything." Ali said.
"True." Drake said.
Just then Launch Pad came running in.
"Drake! Uh.. you're job called they want you to come in." Launch Pad said.
"Thanks L.P." Drake said.
"I didn't hear the phone ring." Ali said.
"Called my cell." Launch Pad said.
"Bye, Ali." Drake said.
Him and Launch Pad ran out, but then Drake walked back in.
"Hey. Help yourself to the hot water." Drake said.
Ali just sighed and sat there.
Later that day..
Ali is sitting in her room looking at the phone.
"Come on Gosalyn, call! I want to go shopping." Ali said.
She picked up the phone and dialed the number. She got her voice mail.
"Hi, this is Gosalyn Mallard. Sorry I'm not here to pick up the phone. But please leave a message and I'll get back with you." Gosalyn's voice said.
Ali rolled her eyes. "Hey, Gos it's me Ali. Just calling to ask you if you wanted to go shopping or not? Anyways, give me a call."
She hung up the phone. "Like that's going to happen. She's into her boyfriend too much." Ali said.
Gosalyn and Honker are walking back from the mall.
Gosalyn looks through her bag and can't find her phone.
"What's wrong Gos?" Honker asked.
"My cell phone. I can't find it." Gosalyn said.
"You're probably left it on her dresser in you're room." Honker said.
"Yeah, you're right. Ali said that she was going to call me today." Gosalyn said
"I'm sure that she'll cal you back if she did." Honker replied.
Gosalyn nodded her head and the two walked back to her house.
Monday morning…
Ali walked to Gosalyn's house and knocked on the door.
Drake answered it. "Oh, hello Ali."
"Hi Mr. Mallard. Is Gos ready?" She asked.
"You just missed her. Her and Honker left for soccer practice already." He said.
"Oh," Ali said.
"You want me to drive you Ali? I have some spare time." Drake said.
Ali shook her head and walked away.
"No." She replied.
Drake watched her and then closed the door behind him.
Once she arrived at school, she saw Gosalyn and Honker talking in the field.
She walked up to the two love birds.
"Ahem, thanks for waiting for me Gos." Ali said.
Gosalyn looked at her and gasped. "Ali! Oh my God! I am so sorry! Honker stopped by and…"
Ali rolled her eyes. "Don't worry about it Gosalyn. I guess that I'm just have to get used to it now."
The coach blew his whistle. "Girls, get in you're positions and we'll start our work out." The coach said
"Ali I…" Gosalyn said.
"Don't bother." Ali said as she walked away from Gosalyn.
Gosalyn just looked at her and got in her seat.
After practice Gosalyn and Ali are in the locker rooms.
"Hey Ali, you want to do something tonight?"
"Oh, you mean so you can blow me off again?" Ali asked.
"Um, yeah sorry we couldn't get together." Gosalyn said.
"No big deal. How's Honker?" She asked.
"What's with the attitude? All of a sudden you don't like Honker. It's not like I met somebody off the street you know." Gosalyn said.
"No, it's not him I don't like. It's you going gaga over Honker." Ali said.
"I'm not gaga, We've been friends since we was little. He's a pleasant young man. What's the problem?" Gosalyn asked.
"No problem." Ali said.
"Anyway, he has his NASA club thingy with his friends. So you and I will definitely get together." Gosalyn said.
"Thanks for fitting me in." Ali said.
"I do what I can. Let me just drop me bag off at my house and we can go." Gosalyn said.
They walked up to her door, Drake was in his full Darkwing costume.
Gosalyn gasped and closed the door right away.
"Let's go get some pizza." Gosalyn said.
"What are you hiding?" Ali asked.
"Nothing, let's just have some pizza." Gosalyn said.
The two walked down the street.
And are now at the pizza joint.
"So, what do you want to do after pizza? Go to a movie?" Ali asked.
"Good idea. Then when we come back here for more pizza, there'll be a new crowd who didn't see the two pies we've already eaten." Gosalyn said.
"Sounds good." Ali said.
Just then Honker walked up to them.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey." Gosalyn said.
Ali narrowed her eyes at him. "What are you doing here?" Ali asked.
"Those really good friends of mine -- they totally blew me off. I figured you guys might be here." Honker said.
"Well pull up a bench. We'll order another pizza." Gosalyn said.
"No, I'll just get a slice. I'm only going to stay a minute." Honker said.
"Want to borrow my stop watch?" Ali asked.
"Hey, Ali. If you want me to leave just say so." Honker said.
Ali waved. "Okay, bye now." Ali said.
Gosalyn looked at her shocked. "Hey come on Ali. I thought that we was going to see a movie." She said.
"What movie?" Honker asked.
"It's called "The Big Chick Movie That Appeals Only to Girls and Makes Men and Boys Vomit." Ali said.
"Hey Ali, did I say that I wanted to go to the movie with you?" Honker asked.
"No, but you never mentioned wanting to horn in on our pizza time, either." Ali replied.
"Ali, you're so darn pleasant and friendly, I don't see how anyone could resist an evening with you. But just on a crazy whim, I think I'll go home and watch TV by myself." Honker said.
He walked away.
"Hey, come on... Honker."
She then looks back at Ali.
"Are you trying to get into the obnoxious hall of fame or something?" She asked.
"Go on, go after him." Ali said.
Gosalyn widen her eyes when she said that.
"Ali, have you lost you're mind?" Gosalyn asked.
"You'd go after him if I weren't here, wouldn't you?" Ali asked.
Gosalyn shrugged. "I don't know." She said.
"Well, let me give you the opportunity to find out." Ali said.
She got up and walked out the door.
"What the hell did I do?" Gosalyn asked.
Gosalyn sighs and looks at the bill. "Great, ditch and leave me the check." She said.
She grabs her wallet out of messenger bag, puts the cash on the table and heads out.
She walks back in her house and slams the door.
Drake walks to her. "What are you doing back so soon? I thought you and Ali had plans tonight." He asked.
"So did I. But she had a hissy fit when Honker showed up for a second. pushed him out, then got all mad at me and left. Leaving me with the check." Gosalyn said.
"Ouch." Drake said.
"Tell me about it. Since I now have some free time on my hands. I'm going to work on my movie." Gosalyn said.
"I thought that you and Ali wore going to do it together?" Drake asked.
Gosalyn chuckled. "Yeah, right. I can do it myself." She said.
She puts her bags down and headed up stairs.
Drake watched her walk away.
The next day…
Gosalyn is playing video games when the doorbell rang.
She set the controller down and walked to the door and answered it.
"Well…look who it is. It's little miss sunshine girl." Gosalyn said crossing her arms.
Ali sighed. "I just came to see how the movies going."
"Why didn't you just call?" Gosalyn asked.
"I felt like taking a walk."
Ali said as she walked into the living room.
"Hey, can I get some eye contact here?" Gosalyn asked.
Gosalyn sighed and closed the door and headed into the living room.
"And suppose we'll just pretend last night never happened." Gosalyn said.
"Why? You want to tell me how your date was with Honker?" Ali asked.
"There was no date with Honker. There was nothing. He left, you left, I left. Big Monday night." Gosalyn said.
"And I suppose you think that's my fault?" Ali asked.
"The notion had crossed my mind." Gosalyn said.
Drake comes walking in the living room.
"Hey, hey Ali." Drake said.
"Hey, Mr. Mallard." Ali said.
Drake could sense the cold distance between the two of them.
"Uh.. So Ali, how's the family?" Drake asked.
"They're good." Ali said.
"The movie is almost done."
"Good."
"Fine."
Great."
"Good then."
"Um... okay, I guess I'll go home now." Ali said.
Ali walked to the front doors, Gosalyn stood there.
"Hey, wait... weren't we fighting about something?" Gosalyn asked.
Ali had walked out of the house and the door closed.
"Okay... and here's little Gosalyn all alone once again." Gosalyn said.
'Did I forget to use deodorant?' She thought to herself as she sniffed her arm pits, then shrugs.
Ali is walking home when Honker stopped her.
"Hey Ali." Honker said.
Ali didn't respond to him.
"Mind if I walk with you?" Honker asked.
"No thanks. I'd rather walk by myself." Ali said.
"Too bad." Honker said.
Ali looked at him. "What are you doing? Are some stalker?" Ali asked.
"Look, I'd like to talk to you, okay?" Honker asked.
"So talk." Ali said.
"Listen, I don't know why but you started not like me. And that's fine with me. You don't have to." Honker said.
"I agree." Ali said.
"But it would be really nice if you could try and get along with me a little. At least in front of Gosalyn." Honker said.
"Why should I?" Ali asked.
"Because she's you're best friend. And I like her a lot." Honker said.
"So, what do you want a medal for it?" Ali asked.
"So you hating me puts her in a very awkward position." Honker said.
"I don't hate you. But I'm not going to sit by while you take my friend away." Ali said.
"I'm not taking your friend away" Honker said.
"Yeah right." Ali said.
"I don't care if you don't like me. I'm just saying you'd have to be pretty stupid to think anything or anybody is going to shake your friendship with Gosalyn." Honker said.
"Yeah, pretty stupid. Look, I may conceivably have been acting like a jerk toward you..." Ali tailed on.
"It's possible; don't worry about it." Honker said.
"But you and I aren't good friends." Ali said.
"Definitely not." Honker said.
"I am happy for you and Gos though." Ali said.
"I know." Honker said.
Later that night…
Gosalyn is working over time on the movie.
She's editing it, adding the blood screams and more blood.
Drake would come in every 15 minutes and she would still be working on it.
After about a 5 hours of working on it, she fell asleep on her laptop.
Drake walked in, turned off the laptop and put her to bed.
Wednesday morning…
Gosalyn's alarm went off.
"At least I got it finished." Gosalyn yawned.
She got out of bed, headed out of the room.
Once she was ready to leave Honker walked up to her.
"Sorry Honk. But today is an all girls day." Gosalyn said.
"Oh okay. See you later." Honker said.
Gosalyn walked away.
Gosalyn knocks on Ali's house.
"What are you doing here?" Ali asked.
"I bought the movie for you're inspection. Sorry it took so long." Gosalyn yawned.
"Forget it it's done. That's all that maters." Ali said.
"You're not mad?" Gosalyn asked.
Ali sighed. "I have no reason to be mad at you." She said.
"Does this mean we can be in the same room for a while?" Gosalyn asked.
"Don't push it." Ali replied.
"Fair enough." Gosalyn said.
The two headed to practice.
"Isn't Honker walking with us?" Ali asked.
Gosalyn shook her head. "Nope, I told him that today is an girls day out."
"Cute." Ali said.
