Chapter 10: Finally
Gosalyn had found herself into the janitors closet.
"The janitors closet? Great." She said.
She then sighed and sat back when the door opened.
"Gosalyn? What are you doing in the janitors closet?" Maddie asked.
Gosalyn chuckled. "Good question. I was.. uh.. just looking for…" She trailed as she looked around. She then grabbed the closet thing she could find. "This." She said.
Maddie raised her eye brow at her. "A urinal cleaner?" Maddie asked.
Gosalyn looked at it and chuckled. "Yup, that what I need. You know me, I am so picky about the boys bathroom. That I wanted to make sure it's clean myself. So uh.. bye." Gosalyn said.
She hightails it out of their leaving Maddie with a confused look on her face.
Gosalyn ran to the hallway a stopped. "A urinal cleaner? What was I thinking? I came up with better lies then that." She said.
Back at home….
Drake couldn't get the thoughts out of his head about Maddie.
He is in the tower doing a back ground check on her.
"Let's see what this Maddie is hiding." He said.
He typed her name in the computer and found her police record.
"I KNEW IT!" He exclaimed.
He then shook his head. "There's no way, I'm going to let my daughter get caught in that." He said.
He turned off the computer and was about to call Gosalyn.
"No, I better not. I told Gosalyn that I would trust her with this." He said.
He sighed again and turned away and walked away.
The next couple of days….
Gosalyn is now in her class room working on a new movie. Everybody keeps cheering the guy.
"Not to mention delusional of mind." Gosalyn said.
( Gosalyn saves her work on the computer and walks out.
On the computer, we see a dark picture of a woman trapped inside a small safe, screaming in frustration. The woman bears a remarkable similarity to Gosalyn)
outside, Gosalyn and Madison approach from different directions)
"Hey."
"Oh, hi." Gosalyn said.
"Haven't seen you around."
"Oh, you know, the solitary artist. Look, I got to be honest here. Last weekend was the worst weekend of my life. And I don't know if you planted it in my purse, but one you're so called friends did. And not to mention that whole thing that happened but didn't happen it kind of confused me."
"Maybe I was just wishing too hard that something would be there."
"But you said you never make a mistake in that, um... area."
"There's a first time for everything. Still want to be friends?"
"I don't think so Maddie."
(Madison goes to hug Gosalyn, who backs off slightly)
"Um, maybe we'll skip the hug."
( sees Daniel Dotson approach)
"Uh-oh... don't look now, but it's Toulouse le Dreck."
(to Madison) Ready?"
"Just a minute."
"I'll wait for you in the car." (pinches her butt before walking off)
Gosalyn couldn't believe what she saw.
"You're seeing him?" Gosalyn asked.
"He's not so bad once you get to know him."
"You said he went through more students than film. You can't possibly think he gives a damn about you."
"Who's looking for romance? I just want to have a little fun."
"And if it's with someone who can introduce you to a few studio owners, that's not so bad either, eh? I think I'm beginning to see how the film world works."
"God, high school. It's all such a big deal with you guys. You take everything so seriously."(leaves)
"Like someone telling you you give off gay vibes just because they're trying to get into your pants."
Gosalyn stumps back into her room and slams the door.
"Oh my god! If this is what it takes to be a film director? They can just forget it! I'm going home! I don't need this!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
She grabs her suitcase from under her bed and starts to pack it.
She then grabs her stuff and head out of the room, slams the door behind her.
Hours later…
A taxi pulled into the Mallard home and Gosalyn walks out again with her stuff.
"Ah, home sweet home." She said.
She walks into her home and sat the boxes down.
"Honey, I'm home!" She exclaimed.
Drake and Morgana walked in and were surprised to see Gosalyn standing here.
"Gosalyn? What are you doing here?"
"Gee, its good to see you too dad."
"I mean, you wasn't supposed to be back till 3 hours!" Drake said.
"Yeah, well. What can I say? I missed this town, I missed my school, I missed my friends, and I missed you two."
Drake looked at the boxes and back at Gosalyn.
"Gosalyn Nicole Mallard! Don't tell me you dropped out of that school!"
Gosalyn chuckled. "Okay, I wouldn't tell you then."
She walked into the living room and sat down.
"Gosalyn, you know how much money I had to paid to get you into that school! I'm never going to get down paying for." Drake said.
Gosalyn rolled her eyes. "Dad, it's done and over with. So move on." Gosalyn said.
"Move on! How can I move on when I'm still paying a hundred dollars a month for a school that you only went to 2 weeks for?" Drake asked.
Gosalyn got up and headed up to her room.
Drake looked at Morgana. "Can you believe Gosalyn? Dropping out of that highly expensive film school. That she begged me to let her go, and then dropped out 2 weeks into it." Drake said.
"Isn't that what you wanted? For her to come home on her own will?" She asked.
"Yes, but.. "
"Let me handle this." Morgana said as she walked away.
Gosalyn is in her room unpacking and putting her things back. When there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Gosalyn said.
Morgana walked into her room. "Thought that I would help you unpack."
Gosalyn shook her head as she put her clothes into her dresser.
"No, that's okay. I can handle it."
"Oh." Morgana said.
Gosalyn paused and looked back at her. "Is there something on you're mind?" Gosalyn asked.
"Well since you bought it up. And it is just us girls up here. Why's the real reason why you dropped out of the school?" Morgana asked.
"I told you I just didn't fit in with that crowd."
"Or is it that you fit too well with the crowd."
"I don't know what you're talking about Morgana."
"Oh, I think you do. I seen the way that Maddie looked at you Gosalyn. The way she traveled all the way just be with you. I'm not stupid."
As they wore talking Drake was listening outside the door.
Gosalyn turned and looked at her. "You knew?"
Morgana nodded her head. "How could I not?"
"Nothing happened Morg. No matter what Maddie would have said."
"So she did come on to you."
"Oh yeah. She asked me to stay the night with her." Gosalyn mussed.
"But you're only 15 years old! And she's how old?"
"She's 18 or 19 I think." Gosalyn said.
She then shivered even the thought about it made her sick.
"How did you handle it?"
"I just told her I liked guys and ran out like there was no tomorrow."
"Oh, are you still friends?"
"No, That would be too weird for me. I would think that she's looking at me all the time. "Gosalyn said.
"Look Gos, I don't know if I say something but I'm going to anyways. After you left on Sunday night. You father did some research on Madison. She has had trouble with the law before. I mean a lot of trouble."
Gosalyn just paused and looked at her. "You mean, she's the one who planted that stuff in my purse?" She asked.
Morgana just nodded her head. Gosalyn sighed and shook her head. "I KNEW IT! Why does this stuff happen to me." She said.
"It's not you're fault Gos. None of this is. She's just a very messed up girl. And you're nothing like her." Morgana said.
Gosalyn just looked up at her. "Does dad know about uh.. the other thing?" She asked.
Morgana shook her head. "Not that I know off and don't worry. I know how you're dad would react if he knew about this."
Gosalyn stood there and thought about it.
"I don't even what to think about it. He'll never let me walk out of the house again."
"Then it will be our little secret."
Gosalyn and Morgana hugged each other.
Drake over heard that he was steaming mad.
"I think I'm going to pay her little visit." He said to himself.
He then headed out of the house.
Him and Launch Pad are in the thunder quack.
"Gee, D.W. are you sure you want to do this?" Launch Pad asked.
"Well, I can't just let her get away with it. Gos has a police record now because of her." He said.
They flew to L.A.
At the school..
Maddie is walking to her class. "Madison duck." A voice said.
Madison stopped and looked around. "Who said that?" She asked.
"Up here doll." The voice said.
She looked up and saw Darkwing on the top of the building, he goes flying down next to her.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Darkwing Duck. And I know you're kind all to well." He said.
She raised an eyebrow at him. "What are you talking about?" She asked.
"See, I'm from St. Carnard. And I keep an eye on all of my loyal citizens. And when somebody does them wrong. They do me wrong."
He said as he circled around her.
"What does that have to do with me?" She asked.
"Oh, I think you know what I'm talking about. Does the name Gosalyn Mallard ring a bell to you?" He asked.
"Yeah, I know her. She's a kind that went to this school for awhile." She said.
"Just a kid! You didn't think that she was 'just a kid' when you planted that in her purse." He said.
Maddis eyes widen when he said that. "You can't prove anything!" She exclaimed.
"Oh, yes I can. You see I got it all on video tape. And I'm going to make sure that the police knows about it." He said.
"No! You can't! If you do that, they'll send me back to jail!" Maddie exclaimed.
"Well tell you what you turn you're self in or I'll do it.. Either way, you're going to end up in jail." He said.
Maddie gulped and sighed. "I have no choice huh?" She asked.
"Not really." He mussed.
The next thing you see Maddie behind bars.
The next day Gosalyn and Drake and Morgana are decorating the church for the wedding.
"I still can't believe that you dropped out of that school Gos." Drake said.
Gosalyn rolled her eyes. "What do you want me to do? Be lonely and miserable for the whole school year?" Gosalyn asked.
"But what about that Maddie girl? I thought that you two was getting along great."
He didn't want to them to know about last night.
"That's a tough subject Drake." Morgana said.
'I see." Drake said.
Gosalyn is working on something but just kept thinking about Maddie.
She shook the thoughts out of her head. "That was an experience that I would never forget." She mussed.
"I bet, I am glad that you're back Gos." He said.
Gosalyn smiled at her dad.
"Me too. That school was nice. But it wasn't me. Nobody does anything there. They don't play any sports or play video games. All they do is work on their movies, talk about the movies and stuff like that. I thought that I was wasting my brain cells to nothing being there. They were all ga ga over this one dude. Whose work was like nothing. Most of them wore all like foreign films stuff. I was sleeping through most of my classes. They got all defensive when I say my opinion about stuff. Nobody liked me very much." She said.
She just continued to work on the decorations.
Drake looked at her and smiled. 'I knew you'll come around sooner or later.' He thought to himself.
Later that night the girls are at Morgana's bachlorette party.
There was an Elvis impersonality dancing around Morgana.
Ali and Gosalyn are together. "This is so cheesy." Gosalyn mussed.
"I know. They didn't even get an early Elvis they got the fat Elvis." Ali said.
The girls both laughed. "So have you talked to Honker yet?" She asked
Gosalyn shook her head. "No, not yet. I've been too busy with the weding being tomorrow. To even think about calling him." Gosalyn said.
"Well, you can worry about that tomorrow. Today lets just have fun tonight."
"Like the good old days." Gosalyn said.
They pounded their fists together like old days.
"I wonder how the boys are doing at there party." Gosalyn.
Ali shrugged and then Elvis came walking by her, held out his hand.
Ali shook her head. "No, that's okay." She said.
"Oh go on Ali. You only live once." Gosalyn said.
Ali hesitates at first but then got up from her seat and sat in the seat.
Gosalyn just busted out laughing at her friend.
With the boys..
They're all at basketball game. "Boy Mr. M you sure know how to throw a party." Honker said.
"Yeah, well when you're marring a witch you doesn't approve of strippers or being drunk at you're wedding. You better play it safe." Drake said.
Honker chuckled at that. "So, Gos is home for good now?" He asked.
Drake nodded his head as he watched the game.
"Yeah, she didn't really like the school very much." He said.
"Oh, I thought that she was doing great. She made a new friend at least."
"Not really. Maddie is now in jail."
Honker's eyes widen when he heard. "What for?"
"Drug use."
"Whoa, it's a good thing that she's out there now."
"Yeah, she really missed you Honk."
"Really? Could have fooled me." He said.
"Trust me Honk." He said.
He then looked back at the game. "Go! Go! Go!" He exclaimed.
Honker just got a big goofy grin on his face.
The next day…
Gosalyn and Morgana are in the dressing room.
"So Morgana, you all set to be come Mrs. Drake Mallard?"
"I thought that this day will never happen." Morgana said.
Gosalyn smiled and looked at her soon to be step mom.
"You're going to fit right in with the family." Gosalyn said.
The two of them hugged and then got ready.
Gosalyn is wearing a pretty black and purple dress, her hair is in curls.
She then walked out of the room and waited for the music to start.
When it started she walked down the isle and Drake just smiled as she walked down.
She spotted Honker and Ali and smiled as she walked past them.
She walked next to her Aunt Victoria who was one of the brides maids.
Just then Morgana and her dad walked to isle and Drake got a big grin on his face.
She smiled back and had tears coming down her face.
Everybody gasped and awed at her dress.
She walked up to Drake and smiled.
"Who gives this woman to this man?" The preacher asked.
"Her mother and I do." Her dad said as he handed Morgana's hand to Drake, stepped down.
"We're here in honor of the union of Drake Mallard and Morgana Mccobb in holy matonary. Marriage isn't something taken lightly. And these two have been through a lot. I believe that they wrote they're own vows." He said.
Morgana sighed and looked at Drake. "Drake darling, I never thought that I would meet someone like you. You bring the joy to my life. You gave me a family, with my new step daughter Gosalyn. I couldn't be happier with you. I love you so much." Morgana said.
"Drake you're turn."
Drake sighed and pulled out some index cards.
"Okay, I'm not good at expression my deep thoughts. So bare with me here. Morgana, we have had quite a long run here. And what a year this has been. You wore there by my side when I didn't know if Gosalyn was going to make it though her surgery. You're there for me during my darkest days, I don't know how I could of done it with you. You're also the perfect role model for my daughter. I love everything about you." Drake said.
"The rings please."
Launch Pad and Victoria handed the two of them with the rings.
"Drake repeats after me. All my heart, all my love, all my life."
Drake slips the ring on her finger. And repeated what he said, so did Morgana.
"Everybody speak now or for ever hold you're piece. I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss you're bride."
"Can I kiss you now?" Drake asked.
"You better." Morgana said.
The two kiss and everybody clapped.
"I now introduce you to Mr. Mrs. Mallard."
Drake and Morgana walk off the isle with Gosalyn and Launch Pad and the others right behind them.
There all in the hall and Gosalyn is talking to her family when Ali walked up to her.
"Hey."
Gosalyn smiled at her. "Hey." She replied.
"Can you believe it? You're dad and Morgana are actually married!" Ali said.
Gosalyn chuckled. "I know, I still can't believe it." She mussed.
"You didn't make any friends at that film school, did you?"
"Nope. Well, except this one girl, until she got fresh."
(that one brings Ali to a halt)
"You're not kidding."
"As much as I'd like to gain your sour perspective on the whole sordid incident. I'd rather not."
"That's cool. So you're coming back to high school on Monday?"
"Yup, I'm going to be staying with Launch Pad while they go on their honey moon."
"Cool, where are they going?"
"Paris I think."
'How long will they be gone?"
"A week."
Just then Honker walked up to the girls.
"Hey." He said.
Gosalyn smiled at him. "Hey."
"Care for a dance?" He asked.
Gosalyn paused and looked at Ali. She didn't want her to feel out again.
"Actually Honk, Ali and I wore…"
"Just talking, you go ahead. I'm going to get something to eat."
"You sure?" Gosalyn asked.
Ali nodded her head. "Yeah, I better hurry up. Before Launch Pad eats everything." Ali said.
Gosalyn and Honker walk to the dancing floor.
And he put his arms on her waist. "I really missed you Gos."
"I missed you too." She replied.
"So, do you want to try this one more time?"
Gosalyn nodded her head. "I'd love that."
"Cool." He said.
As they slow danced together Drake and Morgana saw them and smiled.
"Looks like everything is back to normal."
"Yup." She said.
They kissed and looked back at Gosalyn who was kissing with Honker.
"I better break them two up." He said.
He walked over to them and separated them, "Okay, you two break it up! I'm glad that you two are back together and all. But something I need to talk to Gos about."
Gosalyn looked at him confused. "Like what dad?"
He pulled out a paper out of his pocket. "The bill for the school. I have a made list of everything you can do to help pay off the loan."
Gosalyn looked at the list and her jaw dropped to the ground. "But, dad, This will take me forever to do!" She exclaimed.
"I know. That's why I made it. So I can keep an eye on you." He said.
Gosalyn just sighed and looked at Honker. "So Honk, tell me are you doing anything tomorrow?' She asked.
"What do you know, I promised my dad I would go bowling with him."
"Nice try Honk. Be over at my house tomorrow morning at 9 am." Gosalyn said.
Honker moaned and then you see everybody sitting at the table eating and having a good time.
Gosalyn is looking at everybody and smiling, the scene goes black.
Gosalyn's over voice comes on. "It's been a long 9 years and a lot has happened since then. I almost lost my dad a few years ago. He had a massive heart attack. I told him that it would happen if he didn't slow down. But he didn't believe me. He's a lot more careful with stuff like that now. Morgana is sure of it. He's on so many kinds of diets and stuff.
Morgana now has a restaurant chains all over the world! She just opened one up in Paris! Dad, couldn't be more proud of her.
Herb and Binki are still living next door to my dad. Driving him nuts as usual.
Launch Pad is married with twins now. He met his wife Diana a few years ago. She's a flight attended. Go figure right?
Tank is in jail fortheft and trespassing for the next 10 years. He stolea police car and took it to Mexico. A DUH!
Honker he went on to Harvard and became a rocket science. I still see him every day. I'll get into that later.
Alison is now a wedding planner and divorced I don't know what happened to her husband. The way I think about is that, some space aliens came and adducted him. Never to be seen again. I think it's funny that she plans other peoples wedding but couldn't save her own.
Maddie I lost contact with her after I moved back to St. Carnard. But I did hear that she's in jail for drugs. Big surprise there.
It will be the sixth or seventh time I think. I have lost count.Her life is just a mess.
And if you're wondering what happened about me?
Don't worry I keep my self busy." Gosalyn said.
The sceneswitched to the tower and you see an adult Gosalyn in full Quiverwing costume.
"There's a Crime in process down town QW." Honker said.
"Right I'm on it. How did the tux fitting go?" Gosalyn asked.
Honker chuckled. "We'll talk about that whenwe get home."
"That good huh?" Gosalyn asked.
"You can say that. But now you better catch Meta before she steals all the signs again."
"Okay, I'm on it." She said.
She took a running start off the bridge and jumped off, landed on the ratcatcher and took off into the distance.
The End
