Chapter 4:
They came walking back in from the kitchen.
"That was a great meal Morg." Drake said.
"Yeah with all the ketchup on it. You couldn't even taste it." Gosalyn mussed.
Drake nudged her in the side.
"Umph." She cried.
Morgana raised her eyebrow at them. "Hmmm…" She said.
Early the next morning..
Gosalyn and Drake are walking to the river to fish.
The daughter was still half asleep.
"Dad, why do we need to get up so early?" She asked.
"The early bird catches the fish Gos." He said.
"Well the early bird needs to get a life. Cause even the fish and everything else in the world. Are still sleeping." She yawned.
The two of them are now sitting on a boat. Gosalyn is playing with her game boy again.
"Yes, sir. There's nothing else like camping." Drake said.
"If you say so dad." Gosalyn added.
"Ahem, you know Gos. I've been thinking. This just isn't my vacation. It's yours too. So how would you like to pick what we do next?" Drake asked.
Gosalyn dropped her game boy on the floor and gasped. "For real?" She asked.
Drake nodded his head. "For real Gos. I want you to have fun here." He said.
"Keen gear!" Gosalyn exclaimed as she stood up on the boat.
With in seconds the boat flipped over.
-Splash-
Drake and Gosalyn swam to the top.
"Ooops." She said.
The scene is now at a tattoo and piecing place.
Drake is totally out of place in there. Gosalyn wasn't though.
He sighed and rubbed his arms. "Gos, are you sure you want to do this?" He asked.
"Totally." Gosalyn answered.
She sat down on a stool and guy walks out with a rod. "Okay now stick out you're tongue and say ahh." The guy said.
Gosalyn did so and Drake couldn't watch it going on. He covered his eyes with his hands.
"Is it over yet?" He asked.
"I don't know. Why don't you tell me." Gosalyn said.
He looked up and she stuck her tongue out. He quickly fainted to the floor.
Gosalyn chuckled at that. "Is you're father going to be okay?" The guy asked.
"Oh yeah, he's going to be fine." Gosalyn reassured him.
-Present-
Gosalyn was amazed how cool she is now. "Oh wow! I am so cool! I got a tattoo, and 2 body piecing. Man, I can't wait till I'm 18." She said.
Drake wasn't though. "I can." He replied.
-Future-
They're riding a roller costar. Gosalyn is having a blast, Drake is green.
"Wooohooo! Yeah!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
After the ride was over with. Drake ran to the bathroom, while Gosalyn was inline for some food.
Seconds later Drake walks out, she holds the food. He turns green again and thought about it.
She laughed and then thought about something.
'There's got to something that he likes to do.' She thought to herself.
The two of them are standing in front of a building.
"Okay, you can open them dad." Gosalyn said.
He looked up and saw Grace land!
Drake gasped and dragged her in.
As they walked along Gosalyn is having fun doing something that Drake likes.
"Dad, do you mind holding my cell phone? I have to use the restroom." Gosalyn said.
"Sure Gos." He said.
She handed it to him, walked to the bathroom.
Drake looked at the all the artifacts when her cell phone rang.
"Hmm…" He said looking around to check if she was around.
He flipped it on and Gosalyn's friend Frankie automatically started talking.
"Oh my god, girl. I just heard about you and Honker. That's just totally sucks!" She exclaimed.
Drake paused when he heard that. "Frankie, this is Mr. Mallard. Gosalyn's dad. She's preoccupied right now."
Frankie panicked and hung up the phone.
"Hello, Frankie?" He asked.
He flipped it back and just stood there.
"Hmmm, that's weird. But now I know she's hiding something." He said.
Just then Gosalyn walks back to him.
"Hi pops." She said.
"Hi." He said.
Drake just stood there looking at the phone.
"What?" She asked.
"Uh.. Frankie called while you was gone." He said.
Gosalyn just froze there when she heard that. She knew that Frankie had a big mouth of her.
Gosalyn just stood there froze in her own thoughts.
She quickly took the phone from him in anger.
"What the hell! Who said that you could read my voice mail? What, you couldn't get something out of me. So you called my friends? Very mature dad." She said.
"Hey, watch you're mouth young lady! And for you're information. I didn't have to call her. She called you." Drake said.
"Who said that you could use my cell phone?"
"It rang when you left to use the bathroom. And I thought that it was a good idea to answer it."
"Well you thought wrong!"
Drake's Darkwing instincts are really kicking in now. 'Why would she get so upset over me answering the phone. What is she hiding?' He asked himself.
"You want to tell me what's going on?" He asked.
"Nothing's going on dad." She replied.
"Then why did Frankie say that it sucked about you and Honker?" He asked.
Gosalyn shrugged. "I don't know. Frankie has a big mouth." Gosalyn laughed.
"Frankie hung up on me. When she found out it was me. Something tells me that you're hiding something."
"I'm not hiding anything dad! So just drop it!" She exclaimed.
"Are you doing drugs?" He asked.
"WHAT! No, you're insane!"
"Then what?"
"Nothing wrong! I'm leaving."
Gosalyn stormed out of the place and Drake watched as she walked out.
-present-
"Wow Frankie has a big mouth. I'm going to have to remember that." Gosalyn said.
"Me too. She can be very useful." Drake said.
Gosalyn narrowed her green eyes at her dad.
"Oh sure, so you can spy on me huh?"
The two of them started to fight over that.
Morgana whistled. "Hey! Do you want me to stop this? Or are you two going to kill each other?" She asked.
The two stopped fighting and looked back at the fog.
-future-
Outside..
Gosalyn is mad about Frankie.
'Frankie! I'm going to kill her! I can't tell her anything!' She thought to herself.
She flipped her phone on and dialed the number.
"Hello?" Frankie asked.
"What do you think you're doing?" Gosalyn asked.
"Getting my tan on girl."
"Not that. I mean telling my dad!"
"Gos, I am so sorry about that. I thought that he was you. I didn't mean to.."
Gosalyn paused and sighed.
"It's okay girl. You didn't blow it. He's asking me questions but doesn't know it."
Frankie is sitting on the beach and looked over and saw Honker and Nicole together.
"Um, say Gos. Do you know when the two of you are coming back?" She asked.
"Not for a couple of days why?"
"Oh. Just wondering."
"Okay girl." Gosalyn said not believing her.
She saw Drake walking out and she flipped her phone off.
"Well, thanks for embarrassing in front everybody in their Gos. I know how much it's ruining you're reputation to be seen with you're dad. Let's go then." Drake said.
She hopped in the car and he started the car and drove off.
It was a long quite ride for the two of them.
They're both too stubborn to talk about it.
Gosalyn is in her own thoughts right now.
'This has to be the stupidest vacation! And Nicole is probably all over Honker right now.' She thought to herself.
Drake looked at her and then at the phone and got an idea.
"If you're so sure about this. Call him." Drake said.
"What?" Gosalyn asked.
"Call Honker, prove me wrong." He said.
Gosalyn looked at her phone and sighed.
"I can't." She said.
"Why not?" Drake asked.
"I just can't, okay." She said.
Drake got a stern look on his face and kept driving.
Gosalyn looked at him and smiled. "How about a song dad?" She asked.
No answer. "No? Okay, how about a game? Man or woman? Man? Uh.. Walt Disney." Gosalyn said.
That was the last straw for Drake, he pulled over to a curb and got out of the car.
-Present-
"Wow, dad. And you say that I'm the one with the attitude problem?" Gosalyn asked.
"Hey, I'm not the one who lied!" Drake exclaimed.
Morgana was about to turn the two of them into a yak. Gosalyn immediately stopped arguing and sat up.
Drake did the same.
-Future-
Gosalyn watched as he stormed out and sighed. She then unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car, walked over to him.
"Dad.. uh.. listen about the phone call." She said.
Drake turned around twice refusing to acknowledge her.
"Can you just listen to me? I need to tell you something."
"Why bother? I don't know anything about girls right?" Drake asked.
Gosalyn rolled her eyes. "Just forget it." She said.
She walked back to the car, kicked the tire angrily and leaned back. She was almost in tears when the car rolls out from behind her and she falls to the ground with a thud. She looks back to see what happened and realizes the car is rolling away.
"Ooof! H-h-hey! The car!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
"What? Now you want to drive too?" Drake asked.
"No, dad! The car look!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
Drake looked back and gasped at the sight of the car rolling away.
"The car!" He exclaimed.
Both of them begin running after the car frantically.
"What did you do now Gos?" Drake asked.
"I didn't do anything dad. I only touched it!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
-Present-
Gosalyn looked at Drake confused.
"Why do you think that I did something to it?" She asked.
"Well let's see, you was the last one to touch it. And it started to move. So gee I don't know Gos."
They both give each other a mean look and looked away.
-Future-
The car passes under a low hanging rock formation. All the luggage is knocked off the roof of the car. Gosalyn's black and purple skateboard lands on the road in front of Drake.
Who steps on it, Gosalyn jumps on the back of it and rides with him.
They zip back and forth to get around the car.
Drake grabs on the drivers side of the car and tries to open it.
"You locked it!" He exclaimed.
"I locked it! It's you're door! You locked it!" Gosalyn exclaimed.'
Gosalyn leaved Drake hanging on and manages to get the passenger side door opened. She opens the door and gets in the car.
She unlocked the drivers side and it opens, swinging Drake out over the canyon.
Gosalyn pulls the door shut again and opens the window for Drake to get in.
"Well you distracted me. Whoa!" Drake said.
She pulls Drake in by the waist in.
"You should of put the break on!"
"Why don't you just put it on you're self?" Drake asked.
Drake grabs the brake lever and pulls it to stop the car, but it breaks in his hands.
Gosalyn narrowed her green eyes and pointed to it.
"See you ruin everything!" She exclaimed.
The car slides on the guide rail and hangs over the canyon.
"Well you ruined my vacation." Drake said.
Gosalyn chuckled at that. "I ruined it!" She exclaimed.
The guide lets loose and the car gets launched into the air. It bounces off of several rock formations while Gosalyn continues to argue with Drake bouncing them both around in the car.
"Isn't that funny! Cause if I remember correctly. I NEVER… WANTED TO GO… ON THIS STUPID….VACTIOOOON!" She exclaimed.
-Present-
"Yeah dad! I didn't want to go on the trip on the first place! You're the one that dragged me away from home!" She exclaimed.
"Well you didn't have to give me so much attitude!" Drake exclaimed.
"You want attitude? Oh, I'll give you attitude." Gosalyn said.
-Future-
The car bounces off the last rock formation, then plummets a long way before landing in the river below.
"Now look where you got us dad." Gosalyn exclaimed.
"Where I got us!" Drake exclaimed.
They both struggle to get back on the car.
Drake boosts Gosalyn up onto to the roof.
"You should've let me stayed at home."
Gosalyn helps Drake onto the roof.
"Why? So you can keep more secrets from me?"
"Secrets? What are talking about dad?"
The car bounced and spins widely through a series of rapids.
"Come on Gos. I'm not you're typical dad. The mood swings after the phone calls. And every time I bring up Honkers name. You give me attitude."
"It's not what you think dad."
"You even lied to me!"
"I had to! You were ruining my life."
"I was only trying to take my baby girl camping okay?"
Gosalyn slams her fist on the roof and moves her wet hair out of her face.
"I AM NOT you're baby girl anymore! I am 18 years old. I'm all grown up, and I have my own life now."
Drake looks stern her. "Hey! Don't you ever tell me that again! I'm just trying to be a part of it."
The car slides over a small waterfall into calm water. The car stops bobbing and the sun shines on them.
"You'll always be my baby girl Gos. Now matter how old you get. You'll always be a part of me." He said.
Gosalyn looks at him stunned and Drake sits back.
-present-
Gosalyn has the same look on her face when Drake said that.
"That's right Gos. I'll always think of you as my little girl. Nothing's going to change that." He said.
He sat up on the couch and so did Gosalyn.
-Future-
The two of them are sitting with their backs to each other in silence as the car continues to float gently through the canyon.
Gosalyn looks up at the birds flying above and breaks the silence.
"Honker and I broke up." She replied.
Drake was stunned to hear that and turned to look at her.
"What? When did this happen?" He asked.
"Prom night." She replied.
"Honker broke up with you on prom night? That is so low."
"No I did." She replied.
"You did? Why?"
"He proposed to me."
"He proposed to you? Wow, how did you handle that?"
"I didn't. I took off running. Very mature right?" She laughed.
"Why didn't you just tell me?" He asked.
Gosalyn shrugged. "I don't know. My way of thinking was that the more way I talk about it. The more it's real. So, you know me. Acting like it never happened." She said.
She then broke down in tears for the first time about it.
Drake looked at her and lifted her chin, whipped the tears away.
"Well, there's only one thing to do now."
She looked at him and sniffed.
"Which is?" She asked.
"Go home so you and Honker can talk this out." He said.
The two hugged each other and Gosalyn's green eyes widen with fear.
"Uh.. dad." She said.
Drake looks at her confused. "What's wrong now?" He asked.
Gosalyn turned his head to look ahead.
Drake looked back and saw a waterfall ahead.
"A WATER FALLS!" He exclaimed.
"Ahhh!" The both of them exclaimed with fear.
-Present-
After watching all the waterfalls Gosalyn had that feeling.
"Oh uh. Make room, gotta pee." She said.
She got up from the couch and ran to the upstairs bathroom.
