Chapter 2:
Morgana ran to Drake and held him up.
"Drake what is it? What's wrong?" She asked.
"My little Gosy… oh." He said as he fainted again.
He's now on the couch with a towel on his head, Gosalyn is next to him trying to wake him up.
"Daddy wake up. Wake up." She said.
Drake wakes up and looks at Gosalyn.
"Oh Gosalyn thank god, for a second I thought that you said you was getting married." He mussed.
Gosalyn smiled at him. "I did." She said.
Drake sat up right away. "But you can't. You mustn't. You're not ready." He said.
Honker walked up and put his wings on her shoulder.
"Don't worry Mr. Mallard. We're planning to keep the wedding simple."
"What? You think I can't afford to give my daughter a fancy wedding?"
"No sir. It's just that these things can be quite expensive."
"Well nothing is to much for my little Gosy's happiness. We've got to do this right. Hire a white limousine, champagne the works."
"You want me to pay too?" Herb asked.
"Forget it Herb. It's all me and I'll even throw Honker a bachelor party."
"Wow! Thanks, Mr. M!" Honker exclaimed.
Gosalyn hugged her dad. "I knew I could count on you dad."
"Aww, what are fathers for?" Drake asked.
Morgana grabbed her wing. "Come on Gosalyn. I can't wait to tell mother." She said.
The two walked away.
"And we have so much to do! And you heard what pops said cost is no object." Gosalyn said.
Drake smiled at that and saw Launch Pad walk in.
"Did you see that? My little Gosy really loves me." He said.
"Yeah but D.W. how are you going to pay for the fancy wedding without you're nest egg?" L.P. asked.
"Don't worry L.P. I got it all figured out." Drake said.
The next day..
There all in the Mallard home. Ali is showing them papers on where to get married.
Ali has long blonde hair, wearing a light blue shirt and jeans.
"Oh look we can get married on Mount Denver!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
"Or on a yacht!"
"In the St Carnard abler theater." Ali said.
Honker looked at them. "Well what about here in the house?" Honker asked.
They all looked at him confused. "What? With all the out of town realities?" Gosalyn asked.
"Close to family friends." Ali said
"Where will we put them all?" Binki asked.
"Not to mention the musicians, the carters and the 250 white doves….." Gosalyn trailed on.
Drakes eyes widen and looked at his little girl.
"Whoa! Aren't you getting a little carried away Gos?" Drake asked.
Honker nodded his head and looked at her also.
"Uh yeah Gos. I thought that we was going to keep things simple."
Ali chuckled. "Believe me Honk. I've planed lots of wedding. There is no such thing as a simple wedding."
Drake rolled his eyes and walked to his chair and sat down and read the paper.
"Sure there is. Why in the old days we just clubbed them." Drake said.
Morgana walked up to him and grabbed his paper.
"I'll club you if you ruin her wedding."
"Hey what's the big idea?"
"I want this to be the happiest day of Gosalyn's life. And I'm not going to let you ruin hers like you did with Launch Pad's."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you remember Drake? You made Launch Pad late for his own wedding."
"They got married didn't they?"
"Barely! They had to go to Las Vegas to get married in a cheep wedding."
"It wasn't cheap it cost me 50 bucks."
"Some how I'm not surprised. Besides it's not safe, don't you read the papers."
She held the paper up to him. 'Wedding crashers strike again? Bandits mob newlyweds in Vegas."
Gosalyn and Honker walked up.
"That's awful." Gosalyn said.
"Don't worry Gos. I wouldn't let that happen to us."
"I'm not worried Honk. I know how to handle people like that."
Drake got up and walked to her. "Oh yeah? What will you do if they stick a gun to you're head."
"Easy pops first I'll jam them in the stomach and then I'll reach for their arm and swing them forward." She said as she flipped Drake over.
Drake had stars in his eyes Morgana looked down on him.
"Drake stop goofing around. We have a wedding to plan." Morgana said.
Their back at the table looking at dresses.
Gosalyn gasped when she saw one. "Look at this one girls! Their real pearls!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
Morgana nodded her head. "Oh Gosalyn it's perfect! And it's only 7 hundred dollars." She said.
Gosalyn held it up to show Drake. "What do you think dad?" She asked.
Drake looked at it and saw Gos in the picture. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"Oh boy, I'm not ready for this." He said.
He walked out of the house, Launch Pad followed him out.
"Gee what's wrong Drake? Got the wedding bell blues?" He asked.
"I'll be black and blue if I don't get the money for the wedding."
"Yeah it must be hard to be the father of the bride. Too bad you can't bill the citizens for the service you do for them."
Drake perked up when he heard that.
"That's a great idea L.P. It's about time I get paid for the work that I do." He said.
He got up and walked away.
Darkwing and Launch Pad are at the tower now. "WHAT? Is there a crime convection going on that I don't know about?" He asked.
"Sorry D.W. It's a slow night I guess."
"Well there's got to be some crime around here." He said looking out.
He then spotted a crime happening. "Oh boy! A crime!" He exclaimed.
He and Launch Pad took off running to the crime.
"Hold it right there evil doers." Darkwing said.
The guy was just truing to get into his house.
"Huh?" He asked.
The guy tried to unlock his house as quick as he could. But Darkwing got him before he could and started to beat him up.
Just then a little girl walked up to him. "What did you do to my daddy?" She cried.
Darkwing looked down at her and moaned. "You're dad? Ooops. Sorry about that mister. No harm no foul." Darkwing said.
The man got up and just growled at him and beat him up.
The scene changed and you see the chairs in the living room spinning. A badly beaten up Darkwing is sitting there, he moans and walks into the kitchen.
"Well.. look at what the cat bought in." Morgana's mom said.
Drake looked at her and rolled his eyes.
"Oh no my mother in law." He said.
The next morning..
There all sitting at the table eating breakfast.
Morgana bought the food in. "Oh isn't it wonderful Drake? Mother couldn't wait and help out." She said.
Drake was about to grab some food when mother grabbed it first.
"And make sure you don't mess up Gosalyn's wedding like you did to you're best friends."
"Now why would I do that?" Drake asked.
She got in his face. "I don't now Buster. But I don't trust you. I'm going to watch you like hawk."
"More like a vulture." Drake said under his breath.
She raised her wand at him and he backed away.
"You two can chit chat later. Drake has to go on patrol." Morgana said.
The two of them walked to the living room and she kissed him on the cheek.
"Have a good day Drake."
"Thanks Morg. See you later. Come on Launch Pad."
Launch Pad walked to the next seat.
"Where to D.W? I checked the crime and there is no crime today."
"Quit L.P. I can't let Morgana know that there is no crime." He said.
"So what are you going to do?" Launch Pad asked.
"Get a new job of course. How hard can it be?" He asked.
He hit the stature and off they went.
The scene is now a china store.
"You will be working in this department." The manager said.
"Great! Mr. Pigton, I wouldn't let you down." Drake said.
"I bet you wouldn't. I'll be keeping an eye on you." He said as he walked away.
Drake grabbed his duster and started dusting. "Boy this is sure easier then crime fighting." He said.
The door chine went off.
"My first customer." He said.
He looked and saw the girls walked in.
"Oh no! Just my luck." Drake said.
He put the duster up to his beak and walked over.
"I'm telling you Gos. This place has everything you're looking for. It's where I got my china when I get married." Ally said.
"Speaking of which have you heard from the jerk?" Gosalyn asked.
"Gosalyn, just because Leo is away on work for a week and hasn't called me once. Doesn't make him a jerk. He's probably just very busy." Ali said.
"Ali…" Gosalyn trailed on.
Drake walked next to them. "How may I help you lovely ladies?" He asked.
Gosalyn turned to him. "Yes I would like to register for my china pattern. Do you carry Wedge rock crystal?" She asked.
"Uh.. hold I'll check." Drake said.
He took off running away, Gosalyn just watched him.
"I better get out of here before they figure it out it's me." He said.
He saw Pigton standing ahead of him and stopped.
"So how's everything going so far?" Pig asked.
"No problem." Drake said.
"Good cause I'll keep an eye on you"
"Great." Drake said.
He put the duster back up and walked over to the girls.
"Gosalyn, he is not cheating on me! I know Leo better then that."
"Think about it Ali! He's always away and only calls you when it's necessary."
Ali was about to say something when she saw Drake.
"Did you find out about the crystals?" Ali asked Drake.
"Crystals? What crystals?" Drake asked.
Gosalyn looked at him confused. "The wedge rock crystals. That you wore checking on." Gosalyn said.
"Oh those crystals. Just a minute." He said he walked away.
Gosalyn and Ali looked at each other and back at him.
"What a wired man." Ali pointed out.
Gosalyn just nodded her head. "Tell me about it." She mussed.
Drake took off running again this time he saw Morgana and his mother in law ahead of them.
"How much is this tea pot?" Mother asked.
"How the heck am I supposed to know lady? I just started working here." Drake said.
She gasped. "How rude! Even my lazy good for nothing son in law has better manners then you." Mother replied.
Gosalyn and Ali walk up to them as well.
"And like hello can you like hurry up or something? We don't have all day." Gosalyn said.
Drake mocked her for a second.
The dust was finally stating to get to him.
"Achoo!" Drake sneezed as he went flying back and slammed into some dishes.
The girls all looked at him with frustration.
"Oh this is nuts. Come on girls lets go." Morgana said.
"Yeah, I know another place we can go." Ali said.
"Good, cause you couldn't pay me enough to come to this place again." Gosalyn said.
All four of them walked out of the store and slammed the door behind them.
Drake peeked out of the rumble of the dishes and sighed.
"At least they didn't see me." He moaned.
"No but I did." Pigton said.
Drake looked up and gasped.
"Mr. Pigton I can explain." He said.
"Like you can explain this bill for the dishes." He said.
He handed him a bill for them. "I'll pay you back."
"You're fired!"
He threw Drake out of the store.
"Fine! I don't need this work anyways!" Drake exclaimed.
He looked at his car and saw an officer was writing him a ticket.
He walked over to him. "What did I do now?" He asked.
The officer pointed to the fire hydrant.
"Parking next to one is a 50 dollar fine." He said.
"But officer I swear I didn't see that." Drake said.
"That's what they all say." The officer said.
He handed him the bill. "Have a nice day." The officer said.
Drake looked at the bill and the ticket.
"Oh boy I can't afford to pay back Mr. Pigton and I can't afford this ticket. And I sure can't afford to lose Gosalyn. There's only one thing I can do. I have to stop the wedding." Drake said.
