Chapter 5:
You hear the toilette flush and Gosalyn comes walking back in from the bathroom.
"Much better." She said.
She sat down on the couch. "Now, let's get on the show." Drake said.
-Future-
The two of them started paddling fast and faster. Drake slips off, Gosalyn is quickly carried away downstream on the car leaving Drake behind.
"Daaaad!" Gosalyn cried out.
"Gosalyn!" Drake called out.
The current slams Drake against a rock and he grabs a hold of it. Some of their luggage floats by including the gas gun. Which hits him in the back of the head. Drake grabs it and runs downstream on the rocks.
He runs out on a log and in hopes of being able to get Gosalyn with the gun.
"Grab a hold Gosalyn!" Drake exclaimed.
Drake holds out the end of the gun. Gosalyn dives for it but misses landing back in the water with the car.
Drake just stands there helplessly as Gosalyn continues to float towards the fall.
"Aah… whoa!…(gasps)…aaahh!" Gosalyn cried out.
Drake shots the gun and it hooks on to the front bumper of the car.
The weight of the car pulls Drake in.
He flies downstream and hits some rocks which he uses for a leverage.
Finally the weight of the car overpowers him and it goes over the falls.
Gosalyn gets caught in the tarp and begins and falls with it.
Suddenly the tarp unfolds and beings supporting Gosalyn the air using the updraft from the falls.
"Dad!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
Drake still in the water is unable to stop himself. As he goes over the falls, he extends the gas gun to Gosalyn. She grabs the gun from him and the two swing downward still supported by the updraft on the tarp.
They smile at each other momentarily suddenly Drake looses his grip on the gun.
And he plummets into the mist.
"Ahh!" Drake exclaimed
Gosalyn's green emerald eyes widen with fear as she watched her dad fall.
"Dad! Okay, think Gosalyn. Think think think." She said.
She then realized that she had bought her arrows with her.
"My arrows!" She exclaimed.
She flew down, grabbed them before they go over the fall.
Aimed an arrow down of the fall.
She waited for a sign and then felt a tug. She pulled it up and Drake was on the other end.
"You're going to make a great hero someday Gos." He said.
She dropped her bag of arrows and hugged him tightly.
Which took Drake by surprise and he hugged her back.
"It's okay Gosalyn. It's all going to be okay." He said.
She looked up at him with emerald green eyes with tears.
-Present-
"I thought that I hide those arrows in a good spot."
"Oh yeah. You're closet is a good hiding spot. Like I never tried looking there before."
"Really? What else have you looked for in my room?" Drake asked.
"Uh… nothing. Let's just keep watching." Gosalyn said.
Drake looked at her confused.
-Future-
Hours later…
The two of them are sitting on a back of a chicken truck. One of them is sitting on Drake's head. Gosalyn is laughing like crazy at him, when the chicken flew away the egg broke on him. Gosalyn was laughing so hard that tears are running down her cheeks.
"Gos, it isn't that funny." Drake said.
"Yes it is. A chicken was on you're head and it laid an egg, it broke on you're head! Basicly it pooped on youre head." She laughed.
Drake just mocked her.
-Present-
Gosalyn is rolling on the floor from laughing so hard.
"That's the funniest thing I have ever seen." She laughed.
"Gos, it's not that funny." Drake said.
Gosalyn was just laughing still.
-Future-
Later in the day.
Back in St. Canard the truck pulled up into the Mallard home.
Gosalyn hops out of the front seat. She talked the guy to let her up front.
"Thanks for the lift." She said as she closed the door.
She then saw Drake trying to get out of the back and fell to the ground.
The truck drove off.
"Did you have a nice trip?" Gosalyn teased.
Drake just stood up and ignored her.
The two of them picked up their suitcases and walked inside.
"Home sweet home." Drake said.
They dropped their suitcases down.
"Well I'm going to the beach." Gosalyn said.
"But we just got home."
"Yeah, so?" She asked.
"Good point."
Gosalyn picked up her lanyard and walked out of the house.
Drake smelled himself. "I'm going to take a shower before Morgana gets home." He said.
He headed up the stairs.
Minutes later..
Gosalyn pulled up to the beach and saw Honker's car sitting there.
'Honker's here!' She thought to herself.
She got out of the parked car, closed the door. She's now wearing her purple and black bikini, sunglasses. She grabbed her beach bag from the back of her jeep, she walked from the parking lot to the beach.
She spotted Ally first.
"Ally!" She exclaimed.
Ally turned around and gasped.
"No way! Gosalyn!" She exclaimed.
The two best friends hug.
"When did you get back?" She asked.
"About 5 minutes ago." Gosalyn replied.
Ally spotted a shine from her mouth.
"Omg! Did you get you're tongue done girl?" Ally asked.
Gosalyn grinned and stuck her tongue out.
"A day ago. Cool huh?"
"Yeah, did it hurt?"
"Not really. But you should have seen my dad. He was totally freaking out. Have you seen Honker?" Gosalyn asked.
Ally saw the two of them on the beach together and tried to block Gosalyn's view of them.
"Honker? You mean Honker Muddle foot?" Ally asked.
"Yeah, you know my ex boyfriend? Honker."
"Why do you want him?"
"Well last time wasn't my best moment. And I would like to talk it over."
"Oh, I think Honker's over that."
Gosalyn looked over her confused.
"What do you mean? You think Honker's over it by now? What are you hiding?" Gosalyn asked.
Ally sighed and looked at her best friend. "First you have to promise me that you wouldn't take it out on me." Ally said.
"I don't promise anything when you say it like that. Just tell me Ally."
"Okay, don't say that I didn't warn you." Ally replied.
She stepped back and Gosalyn's emerald green eyes widen when she saw the twosome together.
"Oh." She just replied.
-Present-
"What? Honker and Nicole are together now! I'm going to kill Nicole!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
Drake had to hold her back. "Gos, calm down. Remember this is in eight years in the future." He said.
"That's right Gos. This is only a glimpse of what's going to happen." Morgana said.
Gosalyn just sat back down very ticked over.
-Future-
"Honker and Nicole are together? When did this happen?" Gosalyn asked.
"It's what I was trying to tell you before. They got together shortly after you left."
Gosalyn could feel her heart breaking in two.
She quickly snapped out of it. "Oh." She replied.
Ally was shocked that she didn't blow up.
"Aren't you mad?" She asked.
"Me? Mad? No, I mean why should I? We broke up. He's free to see whoever he wants. Even if it is my ex best friend. It's all apart of breaking up. Care to go to the mall?" She said.
"Uh.. sure Gos." Ally said.
Ally was very worried about her friend now. The two of them walked back to the cars.
At the mall..
The two best friends are looking at a rack of clothes.
"Boy, Gos. You're sure taking this well." Ally said.
"Well I am 18 Ally. I can't be acting childish every time something doesn't go my way." She said which was a bull face lie. It was killing her inside, but she didn't want to let Nicole win.
"That's very mature of you Gos."
"Well mature is my middle name."
"Good for you."
Just then they saw Nicole walks into the store and spotted Gosalyn.
She put on a big mischievous grin on her face and walked over.
"Hey little Gosy. Did you hear Honker got over you in a second. He is now with me. I told you that I would get him." Nicole said.
Gosalyn rolled her eyes. "Yeah, till you get tired of him and find somebody better." Gosalyn replied.
"Yeah, it's great to be me." Nicole sighed.
'You know what Nicole? You give white trash a bad name." Gosalyn said.
'Well the mature Gosalyn lasted for 2 seconds.' Ally thought to herself.
"Oooh, ouch. Well while you're here with Andy."
"Ally!" Ally exclaimed.
"Like I care. I'd be making out with you're boyfriend. Oops, I mean ex boyfriend toddles." Nicole said walking away.
Gosalyn was steaming mad by now, her fist her clenched.
-Present-
Gosalyn was the same way.
Drake and Morgana are telling her to calm down.
"Gosalyn calm down please."
"Calm down? How can I calm down? You saw what Nicole did! She's bragging about making out with Honker." She said.
"That's the key word Gos. Bragging. You don't know if it's true or not."
-Future-
Ally is holding Gosalyn back with all her strength. Gosalyn is trying to break free.
"LET ME GO! I WANT TO GO KICK HER TRASHY TAIL!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
"What happened to the mature Gosalyn?" Ally asked.
"Screw being mature! I want to kick her butt!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
"No, you can't! You can't let Nicole get the best of you. You're way better then that." Ally said.
Gosalyn paused and sighed. "I know. It's just that well when I was dating Honker. He told me that if we ever broke up. He would never date Nicole. And surprise surprise he lied! Honker would never be interested in her huh?" Gosalyn asked.
"Sorry I thought that I knew him better then this."
"Me too. Come on let's get out of here." Gosalyn replied.
The two girls walked out of the store.
At the Mallard home..
Drake is telling Morgana about the adventure that he and Gosalyn had.
"Wow, sounds like you two had quite an adventure." Morgana said.
"You can say that again. One thing that I just don't understand is. Why didn't she just tell me about the brake up?" He asked.
Morgana grinned at him. "Oh Drake, she's growing up. It's what kids do. They keep things from their parents."
Just then Gosalyn and Ally came walking in.
Gosalyn kicked her sneakers off and slams the door.
"All guys are jerks!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
"That's right! Give them hell Gos!" Drake cheered.
Gosalyn looked at him confused. "What are you talking about? You're one of them!" She exclaimed.
She storms in the kitchen.
Drake and Morgana look confused at Ally.
"She found out that Honker and Nicole got together." Ally replied.
"Ally!" Gosalyn exclaimed from the kitchen.
"Coming." Ally replied.
She walked into the kitchen.
"Poor Gos. This must be killing her." Morgana said.
"Yeah. Well my Gosalyn. Is one tough kid. She'll get past this." Drake said.
Morgana looked at him and shook her head. 'He doesn't know one thing about girls.' She thought to herself.
Spring break is over and school was started up again.
She's walking down the hallways and she could fell everybody looking and talking about her.
'Man, you would think that nobody ever broke up before.' She thought to herself.
She stopped by her locker and watched as Honker walked by. The two didn't say a word to each other. Ally walked up to her. "So I take it that you two haven't talked yet?" She asked.
"Are you kidding! Nicole is always with him! What am I supposed to say anyways? Sorry I broke you're heart? He wouldn't even look at me."
"Well you did run away from him when he proposed. And then left state the next day."
"I know. I feel cruddy about how the way I handled it. But I didn't know what else to do."
"Did you try doing anything?" Ally asked.
Gosalyn closed her locker shut and sighed. "No, cause I didn't know what to do." She replied.
Lunch time is here and Gosalyn and Ally are sitting together.
Honker and Leo came out of the lunch line.
"Come on Leo. Nicole saved us a couple of seats at her table." Honker said.
Leo turned to the girls and shrugged.
Gosalyn sighed and looked at her food. "Sorry about this Ally."
"About what?"
"Putting you and Leo in the middle."
"No biggie. This will give us some time to hang out."
Gosalyn smiled at that. "Sounds good to me."
The lunch bell rang and they went off to their classes.
Gosalyn is now sitting in her class with Honker.
This was a very hard class for her. With being inches away from Honker and not being able to talk.
'What in the hell is he thinking? He couldn't possibly think that she likes him. I mean she goes through boys like underwear.' She thought to herself.
"Miss Mallard." The teacher asked.
"Huh?" She asked.
"Miss Mallardare youlistening?" He asked.
"Yes, Mr. Deer." She replied.
"Oh really? Then what did I just say?" He asked.
"That this is going to be in the test in a few weeks. So we should take notes." She said.
"Very well then." He said.
Gosalyn sighed of relived.
The class bell rang and everybody was walking out.
Gosalyn sighed and walked up to Honker.
"Honker can we talk?" She asked.
Before he could answer Nicole showed up.
And was all over him.
"Screw it." Gosalyn replied as she walked away.
Honker just watched as she walked away from the two of them,
After school the two girls are at the pizza joint.
"So, she's like all over him! Right in front of me! I had to hold myself back to not to strangle her." Gosalyn said.
"That jerk!" Ally exclaimed.
"I know. This is a totally different Honker."
"Tell me about it. He would never do this!"
Ally then thought about something.
"That's it!" She exclaimed.
"What's it?" Gosalyn asked confused.
"What you need is a new boyfriend."
"What! I'm still trying to get over my last boyfriend. And I don't want any more drama." She replied,
"Well you can't just run away when he and miss slut show up. And this will show them that you're better then them,."
"I don't want to get involved with anybody Ally."
"Are you sure? Cause I think I know somebody."
"I'm totally sure. I just want to handle this my way." Gosalyn replied.
"Just think about it Gosalyn."
Gosalyn walked out of the restaurant.
-Present-
Gosalyn is confused about why Honker is acting this way.
"Why is Honker being a jerk?" She asked.
"Well you see sport. When us guys get our ego's hurt. We usually try to act tougher."
"So you telling me that just because you guys get you're ego's hurt. The rest of us have to suffer?" Gosalyn asked.
"Yup." Drake said.
-Future-
Gosalyn is back at home doing her homework.
She just couldn't get over the fact that her and Honker haven't talked since prom.
She heard a car pull up to Honkers and watched as Nicole and Honker walked out.
Gosalyn narrowed her green eyes at them and looked back at the phone.
"I shouldn't. I mean, what if I end up hurting again. I can't let that happen. But then again what if.." She kept on.
She then decided to call her. "I'm going to do it." She replied.
She dialed the number to Ally's
"Ally, it's me. I'm up for it. Okay, I'll be right there." She said turning her phone off.
She got up from the desk and walked out of her room.
Drake and Morgana are in the living room when Gosalyn walked down.
"By dad. I'm going out." She replied.
She walked out of the house.
She's now at the library waiting for Ally and the mystery guy. When Honker walked in and saw her.
"Wow, Gosalyn Mallard is at a library?" He asked.
"Is that supposed to be a crack at me?" She asked.
"No it wasn't. I was just.." He trailed.
"Look, Honker. Do you mind? I'm kind of waiting for somebody." She said.
"Who Ally?" Honker asked.
"No. Him." Gosalyn said pointing to the guy next to Ally.
He has short brown hair, brown eyes. Nate the captain of basketball team.
"Nate Webber?"
"Yup. Ally hooked us up. Excuse me." She said.
She stood up and walked past Honker.
"Hi."
"Hi." The both said.
Honker just stood there with his jaw on the ground.
"Just act like you're interested in me okay?" Gosalyn whispered.
"But I am interested." Nate replied.
Gosalyn was stunned to hear that.
"What?" She asked.
Ally looked at the of them and smiled.
"Well, I'll let you two talk. Bye."
"Ally, no wait!" Gosalyn said.
"You'll be fine. See you tomorrow." Ally said.
She walked away from them, Gosalyn tuned back to Nate.
"Why don't we sit down" Nate said.
The two of them walked to a table and sat down.
"I've always seen you around school. And wanted to talk to you." Nate said.
"Why didn't you just come up to me and say. 'Hey Gos. What's up?'" She asked.
Nate chuckled. 'He has a cute laugh.' She thought to herself.
"Well I thought that I would get burned by you're wicked sense of humor. Plus you were dating Honker. And I didn't want to get in the middle of that." He said.
"Nah, I only do that to people I truly hate."
"What about me?"
"What about you?" Gosalyn asked.
"Do you like me?" He asked.
"Maybe. I just met you so I can't decide yet."
"Cool. So do you think that maybe the two of us. Could you know hang out together sometime?" He asked.
Honker's jaw dropped to the ground when he over heard that. 'What?' He asked.
"Uh…" Gosalyn replied.
-Present-
"That a girl Gos! Get back on the horse!" Drake exclaimed.
Gosalyn was stunned to hear this to the least.
The phone rang. "I'll get it!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
She took off running into the kitchen.
TO BE CONTUINED..
