Chapter 3

The next Morning Gosalyn and Drake are in the kitchen eating break feast.

"So what happened last night with you and Honker? You didn't come out of you're room all night."

Gosalyn sighed and shrugged. "Oh, he was being a major drama queen last night."

"Oh? Really, what he say?"

"He yelled at me for not being at the dentist office. I tried. I really did. My car broke down. And its not like I left him alone. I called Launch Pad to pick him up."

"Yeah, you did. But I can also see Honker's point. I mean you did promise him. And maybe if you did what I said. You wouldn't have this problem."

She couldn't believe that he is saying this, just got up and walked out of the room.

"

Yeah, what ever." She said.

Drake just shook his head and sighed. "That poor girl." He said.

Gosalyn walked out of the house and ran into Damien.

"Hey Gos."

Gosalyn sighed and looked at him. "Oh hey Damien."

She closed the door behind him. "What was that all about last night?"

"Talking about Honker?"

"Yeah, I over heard my name in it. So I hope that I didn't do anything to upset Honker."

"Nah, you didn't do anything Damien. It wasn't you're fault that he was being a drama queen."

Damien laughed at that. "So, we're cool?"

"Yeah we're cool."

"That's good. Cause I would hate to be the reason you two to fight."

Before Gosalyn could answer Honker walked up to her.

"Um… can we talk for a minute?" Honker asked.

Gosalyn smiled and nodded her head. "Sure. See you later Damien."

Gosalyn and Honker walked away and Damien narrowed his eyes.

"Gos, I wanted to apology for the other night. I was still under the funny stuff. And I guess I was just feeling left out."

"Left out? What do you mean?"

"Well I've come home from college. And it's like I'm being replaced by Damien. You're busy with hero training, this new guy showed up. I didn't know.."

"Honk, I told you. You have nothing to worry about with Damien. We're just friends.

And yeah, I am busy with hero training. You know how much this means to me."

Honker nodded his head. "Yeah I do."

"That's good. So what do you feel like doing today before you head back?"

"Oh, me and my college friends are going to a poetry reading later on."

That took her by surprise. She didn't know he was into that stuff. "Poetry reading?  Wow, you really are a college student aren't you?"

"Yeah, I guess I am. Hey, I have an idea. Why don't you come with me."

Gosalyn laughed at that. Just the thought of her going to a poetry reading was funny.

"Me? A poetry reading? Are you kidding?"

"No, I'm not. I think it will be fun. You'll get to meet my friends and hear some great poetry."

Gosalyn hesitant at that. It's not how she would want to spend her Sunday afternoon. But

hey what does she got to lose?

"Sure, why not. I could use a good nap." She said.

Honker smiled and hugged her. "Oh, that's awesome. You're going to love it."

"Yeah, really." She said rolling her eyes.

Minutes later she's with her girl friends at the pizza King.

"You? Poetry reading?" Misty asked surprise.

"Yeah, I know. Honker really wants me to go. So why not?"

"You don't like poetry."

"That's why I'm bringing my hand held game system and ear plugs with me. Incase things get really boring."

"Figures."

"What? Like you said I don't like poetry. I mean if I'm going to be stuck all after noon listening to some dude read to me. And it's not about Zombies, monsters, or Morgana's family. I'm going to need something to keep me busy."

"Speaking of Morgana. What's going on with her and you're  dad?"

Gosalyn shrugged. "I don't have the slightest idea. They're together one day and then the next they're not. I'm kind of staying away from the subject."

"Don't blame ya."

Gosalyn sighed and looked at the clock. "Well I have to get ready to go. What does a person wear at a poetry reading?"

Misty and Rosie and Ally all looked at her strange.

Later that day they're at the coffee house listening to poetry. Everybody is totally into it while Gosalyn is trying to stay awake.

'Man, this is so boring. It doesn't even make sense. How many times does he rhyme fit with a word? I know a word that describes this. But it's not nice. I know what I'll do. Time for plan B.' She thought.

She looked around to see people not paying attention to her, smiled and grabbed her duck boy system out of her bag, put the ear plugs in and started to play.

Honker's friend Chris looked over at her and saw the game boy.

He grabbed it from her hands. "Aren't you little old to play video games?" He asked.

"Hey! Give that back!" She whispered loud.

"Who's playing video games?" Other one asked.

"Honker's girlfriend Gosalyn. Bought a game system with her."

"Isn't she a little too old to play with toys?" Another one asked.

"I said GIVE IT BACK!" She yelled.

She kicked him in the shin. "OW!" He exclaimed.

He dropped it and she caught it. "Ha! I caught it!"

Everybody just stopped and looked at her. "What?" She asked.

His other friend Brian looked at her. "Listen kid, this place is for mature people. So why don't you just go home."

"Excuse me? But he's the one that took my game from me. I wasn't hurting anybody.  You think you guys are older means that you're more mature then me. Believe me. I'm

more mature then a lot of adults I know."

A girl named Brittany looked at Honker. "This is the girl that you're so crazy about

Honky?" She asked.

"Honky?' Gosalyn asked herself.

Honker looked at her and sighed. "Um.. Gos, can we talk for a minute?" He asked.

 "Sure, don't touch my stuff!" She said calling to his friends.

Honker and Gosalyn walked to a near by corner.

"What's wrong with you?" Honker asked.

Gosalyn was totally shocked about that.  Not only did he not stick up for her. But he's

taking their side.

"What do you mean what's wrong with me? I didn't do anything! He's the one that took my game system! I wasn't hurting anybody!"

"That's what I mean Gos. If you didn't want to come. All you had to do is tell me. You didn't have to embarrasses me in front of my friends."

"Excuse me? So I'm an embarrassment not? Oh that's just nice. Thank you Honker. You have made my day."

"That's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean? No wait, I don't want to know. Don't worry, I wouldn't embarrass you anymore. Cause I'm leaving!" She yelled.

Everybody cheered for that, Brian walked up with her purse. "Don't let the door you on the way out."

She glared at him, grabbed her messenger bag from him. "You coming Honk?" She asked.

Honker paused and looked at her and at his friends. "No, I'm staying."

She really couldn't believe this. He was staying some place that didn't like Gosalyn. She would never do this to him. If he wasn't welcomed, either was she. But it's clear that he made his choice and she stormed out of there like a bat out of hell.

Minutes later she arrived at the Pizza King and saw her friends sitting there. She smiled and walked over to them. "Hey guys."

They looked at her shocked. "Gos? What are you doing here? I thought that you was with Honker."

"I got kicked of the place." She laughed.

"What?"

"Honkers jerk friend Brian took my game boy from me and embarrassed me in front of everybody. Then Honker has the nerve to ask me what's wrong with me."

"Oh where is Honker?"

"Still there. He choice his new friends over me. I never felt so embarrassed and stupid. In all of my life."

"Wow. Honker's turning into a jerk."

"I know! It's not like him at all!"

"Gee, sorry Gos. That really sucks today and yesterday." Damien said.

The girls looked at him strange. "What happened yesterday?"

Gosalyn rolled her eyes. "I don't really want to talk about again. It's done and over with."

"So what now?" Misty asked.

"He's with his friends. And I'm with mine."

"That's cool, so what do you want to do?"

"How about a game of two on two. Me, Damien VS you and Rosie."

They all smiled and nodded their heads. "That sounds like a plan."

"Come on!"

They all headed out of the pizza king. Damien stopped when his phone started to go off.

"Uh.. I'll be right there. I have to take this."

"Oh okay." The girls said as they walked away.

Right when they walked away, he looked away and grabbed his phone.

"Yeah?"

"How are things going?" Nega Duck asked.

"Good boss. They got in a huge fight, and I'm playing basketball with her."

"So you gained her trust then?"

"Oh yeah big time."

"Good, keep it up. And keep me in contact with everything."

Damien turned his phone and grinned and took off after the girls.

Hours past and Honker is just finishing the poetry reading. He looks up at the clock and sighed, "I better check up on her. She should have calmed down by now."

"Oh, you leaving us to check up on you're little girl friend. That's so cute. But she's fine. Why don't you stay here with us."

Honker shook his head. "Can't. Gosalyn is my life. I love her. I always will. I know that she can be a little much at times. But that's Gosalyn and I love her." He said smiling.

He got up and headed out. 

They just shook their heads at him. "He really needs to lose that girl." Brain said.

"Big time." Brittany replied.

With Gosalyn and Damien still playing hoops. Misty and Rosie have stopped playing a little ago. Gosalyn didn't want to stop had too much frustration to get out. And making all the baskets.

Damien is just standing there shocked. "Wow, you're good. What's you're secret?" He asked.

"Easy, I'm picturing the ball is Honker's head! Stupid jerk!" She exclaimed as she threw

the ball to the basket.

"You really are pissed off aren't ya?"

"Duh, you just figured that out on your own did ya?" She asked sarcastily.

Damien laughed and grabbed the ball from her. "Hey!"

"You want this? Then come get it!" He said.

She started to chase after him, started to have fun at the same time.

Honker is driving around on his way home.

He keeps calling Gosalyn's cell phone, but she's too busy playing hoops. "Where is she?" He asked.

As he kept driving around he spotted Gosalyn and Damien playing basketball. He narrowed his eyes at them and kept driving.

Gosalyn stopped and looked at her phone clock. "Well dinner is going to be ready soon. So I better head back."

Damien smiled and nodded his head. "Okay, so after dinner. You want to do something?"

"Um… we'll see. I don't know what my dad has planned for me."

"Okay, well I'll stop by after awhile and see."

"Sounds good." She said.

The two of them are kind of laughing and joking around as they walked away.

Shortly after they arrived back at her house. She glanced over and saw Honker's car sitting in the drive way.

"Whoa, Honker's home. I should probably talk to him."

Damien stopped her. "Easy there Gosalyn. Let him come to you. He's the one that made you feel like dirt at the coffee house. Why should you talk to him?" He asked.

Gosalyn paused and nodded her head. "You're right. Thanks, Damien."

They walked to the door, she opened it up. "Want to come in?" She asked.

Damien shook his head. "No, maybe some other time. I need to head back home."

"Oh okay."

"I'll see you later tonight."

She watched as he walked away and headed inside.

Inside Drake was trying to put together a new bbq grill. Everything was all over the floor.

"Whoa, dad. What are you doing?" She asked.

Drake is trying to put it together and getting frustrated.

"I'm trying to put this new bbq grill together. What are you doing home so early? I thought that you had plans with Honker at the coffee house."

She rolled her eyes at that. "Yeah, well. Let's just say I'm not welcomed there anymore.

Came back early and met with the girls and Damien. Played some hoops instead."

"Whoa, whoa. Back up and rewind. What did you say?"

"I'm not welcomed there anymore."

"Not that, well maybe that. But after that. Whose Damien?"

"Oh that. He's a new friend of mine. He moved here in St. Canard on Friday. He's really cool."

"Does Honker know him?"

"Yeah, he met him yesterday. He's okay with Damien. In fact Damien and me might do something later on."

Drake dropped his wrench and gasped. "WHAT? Gosalyn!"

"DAD! Calm down, we're just friends."

"Yeah, but you've spent the day with me. And now you're spending you're evenings with him. What about Honker?"

She looked over at the grill and picked up a tool. "Need any help?"

Drake shook his head. "No I don't need you're help. I'm perfectly fine doing it myself."

Gosalyn looked at all the pieces and laughed. "Yeah, good luck with that."

Drake sighed and looked at it. "I think I'll stop for awhile till after dinner."

"Sure thing dad."

Damien and NegaDuck are talking to each other. "So, you have a date with her tonight huh?"

"Yup, that's right. The plan is coming together perfectly."

"Excellent. The more you spend with her, the more Darkwing will worry and well.. he's just going have to wait to see the outcome." He laughed.

Damien laughed as well.

Hours later..

Gosalyn and Drake have finished dinner, she's eating some ice cream while watching

Drake trying to put it together still. "Give it up dad. You're never going to get it to work,"

"Never say never Gos. I will get it together."

Gosalyn rolled her eyes when the doorbell rang.

"Oh, that's probably Damien."

Drake rolled his eyes and continued to work on the bbq.

Gosalyn answered the door and sure enough it was Damien.

"Hey Damien."

"Hey Gos. So, you're free tonight?"

She paused and looked at her dad working on the grill still.

"Yup. He's busy with the grill and then he was to go work. So I'm free for a couple of hours."

"Cool. Let me just get my stuff."

Damien walked in as Gosalyn went to grab her purse. Drake got up and followed Gosalyn.

"Can I have a word with you Gos?"

She paused and looked at him. "Yeah?" She asked.

They walked into the kitchen,

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked.

"I told you I'm going to hang out with Damien. It's not a big deal."

"Really? I think that you're spending a little too much time with Damien."

"Dad, you think waay too much time into this. There is nothing going on with me and Damien."

"But what about Honker?"

"What about him?"

"Uh.. isn't he leaving back to college tonight?"

"Yeah, so?"

"So, don't you want to say goodbye to him. I mean, after all he IS you're boyfriend."

"Yeah, well he's being a jerk right now. So he can go back with his jerky friends."

"Gos.."

"DAD, you have nothing to worry about! Trust me! There is no chemistry no nothing between me and Damien. I love Honker. The big jerk."

"It's not you that I'm worried about."

"It's just a walk dad. We're not going to run away. I'll be back before you come back from the crime fighting. I promise."

Drake sighed he knew that Gosalyn was going to go no matter what he said.

"I guess you already made up you're mind. Go." He said.

Gosalyn smiled and walked back to Damien. "Gos, what are you doing?" He asked.

As she and Damien walked out her cell phone rang. Drake looked around and saw that she had left it on the table. He picked it up and  saw it was Honker.

Gosalyn and Damien are walking around the neighborhood.

"You're dad doesn't like me does he?"

"My dad doesn't like any guy that isn't that Honker."

"Oh, have you two been going out for a long time?"

"Since we was 13."

Damien was shocked about that. "Whoa, that is a long time."

"Tell me about it."

"Must be hard when he's away in college."

"Yeah, it is. I knew that he was smart and that this is what he wanted. People more like

him. I shortly don't fit in there."

He paused and looked at her. "What do you mean?"

"His friends are into poetry and nothing like me. They treated me like dirt. And he didn't stick up for me or anything. In fact he agreed with them."

"Well if you ask me. He's the one that's missing out. Not you. You  are way so much better then that."

"Aww, thanks Damien."

As they walked around they spotted 2 guys at the local pond.

Gosalyn grinned and looked over at him. "Hey, watch this. Easy cash."

He watched as she walked up to them and talked. Gosalyn was taking her jacket off, he walked over to her.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

Gosalyn laughed. "Oh, I bet these bozos 100 bucks that I would jump into the lake."

Damien looked at her confused. "Gos, you don't have to do this."

"Who said that I didn't want to do it?" She laughed.

She handed him her jacket, kicked off her shoes, put her in a pony tail.  "Alright on the count of three." One of the boys said.

"One.. Two.."

Before he counted on three she goes running and jumps into the lake.

The boys laughed at her. "She's crazy!"

Damien chuckled and shook his head. "Yeah, she is."

Seconds later she comes up from the water and walked back out to the boys.

"Pay up suckers." She said.

The boys all grunted and reached into their pockets and handed her cash.

"Pleasure doing business with you chumps." She laughed.

They walked away and she put her shoes back on. Damien laughed as he walked over to her.

"You're nuts. Did you know that?"

"Yeah, I know. I do stuff like this all the time."

He shook his head and she handed him half of the cash. "Oh here."

He looked at it confused. "What's this for?"

"Don't tell my dad that I did that."

"Oh, black mail huh?"

"No, not black mail… Yeah, it is. I just got ungrounded a couple of days ago. And I don't want to get in trouble again."

Damien shrugged and put his jacket on her, they looked at each other and away.

"Well I better get you back home. Before you're dad freaks out."

"That doesn't take much." Gosalyn laughed.

They laughed and walked the other direction.

They shortly arrived back at her house laughing.

"That was a blast!"

"Totally,"

Damien looked at the grill still in pieces. "Hey, do you think you're dad would mind if I put this together?" He asked.

"Yeah, he would mind a lot. But it will probably not get done. So go ahead." She said.

Damien smiled and walked over to the pieces on the floor and looked at it.

"Um, do you have a tool box?" He asked.

"Yeah, hold on. I'll get it." She said.

She walked away, Damien looked around the living room until there was a loud crash in the kitchen.

"Ow!" Gosalyn cried.

Damien ran into the kitchen. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"I got a splinter. And it hurts." She said.

He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Let me see."

She pulled away and shook her head. "No! You'll make it worse."

He grabs her hand and pulls his Swiss army knife. "I can't look!" Gosalyn said as she looked away.

Damien pointed to his knee where he has a scar. "See this scar?" He asked.

"Yeah."

"Well one day I was playing street hockey when this dude out of nowhere comes out shooting at me."

Gosalyn gasped at that. "Oh my god!"

"Yeah I know."

"What did you do?"

"I took off you idiot! The bullet hit my arm and went through my leg."

"Yeah right! You are such full of it!"

Damien laughed and nodded his head.

"Yeah, but you didn't feel anything did ya?" He asked holding up the splinter.

She smiled at him. "Maybe just a little."

It is now midnight and Darkwing and Launch Pad came back from their missions.

"What a night." Darkwing yawned.

Launch Pad yawned as well/ "Tell me about it."

He walked to the couch and laid down. Darkwing saw the grill all put together. "Wow, she must came to her senses and came home early. To finish it." He said.

He then walked out to the kitchen and looked out the window. He gasped at the sight of a

sleeping Gosalyn next to a sleeping Damien.

"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" He yelled.

He ran outside and stood next to Gosalyn.

"Ahem!" He exclaimed.

Gosalyn moans and looked up and saw Drake and then saw Damien.

 "Ahh! Dad, nothing happened!"

Drake was just too tired or he didn't know what to do and just turned back inside.

Gosalyn followed him.

"You do believe me right?" She asked.

"I didn't say anything. All I did was come home from crime fighting to find my 17 year old daughter asleep with some guy."

"NOTHING HAPPENED!"

"Is that his jacket you're wearing?"

"It was cold outside."

Drake was about to say anything when Damien walked inside.

"Uh… I'm just going to go home. I'll see you tomorrow at school Gos."

She smiled and waved at him, Drake watched as he walked out and back to Gosalyn.

Who was taking off his coat and sniffed it.

Drake gasped. "You just sniffed his jacket!" He yelled.

Gosalyn looked at him strange. "What?"

"And you don't even know you did it!"

She gasped and acted all surprise. "Oh no! The world is coming to an end! Behold the power of the jacket. I love Honker. takes it off and back on Now I love Damien. No, I love Honker. Dad, you really need to get a life."

"I know what I'm talking about Gos. I think you should stay away from Damien."

"Oh my god! I don't believe this. I can't make one  new friend without you thinking that something is up with us! I'm going to bed."

She was about to walk away when Drake stopped her. "Oh by the way, did you call Honker back?"

She stopped and looked at him. "No, I didn't even know that he called."

"No you wouldn't. As he called you're cell phone right after you left."

Gosalyn stopped and looked down, shook the thoughts out of her head. "I'll talk to him tomorrow."

"He's at college remember."

"Oh yeah. Uh.. I'll call him I mean." She said.

She headed up to her room and Drake shook his head.

To Be Continued..
