Chapter 6
It's the next morning and Gosalyn is tired as heck. She didn't get much sleep the night before. Didn't want any weird dreams again.
"Man, what a weird dream that was last night?" She yawned.
She walked down the stairs and saw her dad sitting on the couch. "Well it's about time you wake up Gos. I thought that I'd had to go in you're room to check if you're okay."
"Hah ha very funny dad. I didn't sleep last night."
"Oh did you have a nightmare?"
"No not really."
"Then what was it about?"
Gosalyn paused and thought back to her dream and shook the thoughts out of her head. "Nothing, I'm going to meet the girls for pizza. Later."
She walks out of the house and Drake watched her confused.
With Damien and Negaduck. "Things are going perfect Damien. Now let's go to the next step. You know what to do."
"Yes, sir!" Damien said.
Damien walked out of the hideout and Negaduck laughed.
"Oh, this is the best part of being bad." He laughed.
At the pizza place Gosalyn is with the girls talking.
"Whoa, you dreamed about kissing Damien?" Ally asked.
"Shh! I don't think the people in China heard ya. But yes, I did. And no it means nothing to me. I love Honker. In fact I made a plan to stay away from Damien. So I wouldn't have this problem."
Ally sighed. "Like I said yesterday Gos. That has to be the stupidest plan ever!"
"I know. But it's all that I could think about."
Honker walks in. "Think about what?" He asked.
Gosalyn chuckled. "Uh.. what to order. I thought that I would order something. But I thought that I would order something else."
Honker smiled and sat down next to her. "Oh." He replied.
Damien walked in and saw the gang. 'Time for the next step.' He thought to himself.
He headed over to them. "Hey guys." He said.
Everybody but Gosalyn looked at him. "Hey."
"Well you guys might not see me around lately." He said sadly.
Gosalyn perked up when she heard that and looked at him. "Oh?" She asked.
"Yeah, my dad kicked me out of the house last night."
"Why?"
"We had a fight. So I don't have a place to stay. Until I do, you're probably wouldn't see me around."
'There is a god.' Gosalyn thought to herself. She quickly shook the thoughts out of her head and turned to him. "Oh that stinks Damien."
"Yeah, it is."
"Hey, I know. You can stay with me at my house." Honker said.
Gosalyn spat out her pop by that.
"Honker, I don't think that's such a good idea." She said.
"Yeah, Honker. Nothing personal. But I don't think I'll fit into you're house hold."
"Don't worry Damien. It's going to be good. My brother Tank is off in jail. So we have an extra room."
"If you're sure that you're parents don't mind. It will only be until I find a place of my own or my dad and I are cool. Which either one comes first."
Honker smiled. "I'm sure it will. Come on, we can get you're stuff and bring you back to my house."
"Cool, thanks."
Honker stood up from his seat and him and Damien walked out of the restaurant.
Gosalyn just sat there with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"Well now what are you going to do?" Misty asked.
"I don't know. I don't know! Things just got worse."
"Why don't you just tell Honker…"
"That what? I don't want Damien staying with him cause of my dream? He'll think that something is up with us. And nothing is going on! I'll think of something. Speaking of which what do you want to do tonight? Since we have a three day weekend. Anything then staying at home."
"Oh, that's right. Morgana's coming home tonight right?"
"Yup, and I'd rather not be there."
"Well we can stay at my house I guess." Ally said.
"Cool, sounds like a plan. See ya then." She said.
Gosalyn grabs her bag and headed out of the restaurant. "This should be interesting." Misty said.
Ally and Rosie nodded their heads at that.
She arrived back at home and saw Damien and Honker both getting out of Honker's car with a lot of Damien's stuff heading into the house she walked into her house and closed the door.
"I see Damien is moving into Honker's house?" Drake asked looking out the window.
"Yeah, so? What's the point?"
"No point. What happened?"
"He got in fight with his dad and got kicked out."
"Oh, well that's nice that Honker's parents are going to let him stay with them."
"Yeah, cool. Well you don't have to worry about me tonight. Me and the girls are going to stay at Ally's house tonight."
As she walked away Drake stopped her. "Oh no, you can't do that tonight."
"What?! Why not?"
"You're grounded remember."
"What?! But you said I wasn't grounded because Morgana is coming over remember?"
"Yeah, I remember. But I changed my mind. You can't stay the night. You're curfew is at 10 o'clock. So I want you home tonight."
"This is totally not fair! Did you and Morgana have a fight or something?"
"No not really. She jut canceled the date. So you're staying home tonight."
Gosalyn threw her hands in the air and grunted as she stormed up to her room and slammed the door. Drake shook his head at that. "That girl will never learn. DON'T SLAM THE DOOR!" He exclaimed.
Gosalyn screamed once she arrived in her room. "Ahhh! I can't believe this! Just because my dad and Morgana got in a fight. I'm back to being grounded again. Why is it that I'm the one being punished when ever somebody has a lovers fight? First it was Ally and Damien. Which wasn't really a fight at all. Cause they was barely dating. Then it's my dad and Morgana. I can't get a single break around here!" She exclaimed.
She plopped on her bed and moaned.
Later that night Gosalyn walks out of her room and down stairs.
Drake was talking on the phone with somebody. She walked over to him. "Dad?" She asked.
Drake looked at her. "Yes?"
"I'm going out for awhile. I'll be back before dark."
"10 o'clock remember."
"Yes, I know. Why don't you just call Morgana and make up with her."
"What makes you think that I have to do that?"
"Cause I know you dad. You probably said some really dumb insensitive thing to tick her off. And haven't spoken to her since."
"Gosalyn Gosalyn Gosalyn. That is not what happened at all."
"Then tell me what really did happen?" She asked crossing her arms, with a smirk and raised an eyebrow at him.
"Uh… you don't need to worry about my life. Go out and have fun. Be back in a few hours." He said pushing her out of the house.
Gosalyn laughed at that. "Oh, he is so predictable. Right now he's probably just starring at the phone debating on rather or not to call her." She laughed as she walked away.
She arrived at the pizza place with the girls.
"So what's going on is Morgana coming over to you're house?" Misty asked.
Gosalyn shrugged. "Don't know, it's totally up to my dad. When ever he wants to apology for what ever stupid thing he did."
Honker came walking in walked up to them. "Hey,"
Gosalyn smiled and looked at him. "Hey."
The two kissed and he sat down. "So where's Damien?" Gosalyn asked.
Honker shrugged. "Don't know. He said he was something to do tonight."
"Oh that's cool."
"Yup. So what are you girls plans tonight?"
"Oh you know the usual watch some movies, have a pillow fight in her pajama's and then have a weird lesbian moment." She said.
Honker's jaw dropped to the ground to the ground when he heard that. "What? I KNEW IT!" He said.
Gosalyn laughed at that. "I'm kidding Honker. Nothing like that is going on. Because I'm grounded tonight."
"Grounded? But I thought.."
"Yeah, well since dad and Morgana got in fight today. I'm back to being grounded."
"Wow, that sucks. I was thinking about joining you girls tonight. But anyways, I had plans."
Gosalyn looked at him confused. "You do?"
"Yeah, my friends and I are going to another poetry reading tonight. I was going to see if you wanted to come."
Gosalyn busted out laughing at that. "Are you kidding? After what happened the last time I went. I don't want anything to do with you're friends. And I still can't believe that you're still with friends with them."
"They're the only friends that I got in college. Well I just wanted to stop by before meeting them."
He got up and walked out, Gosalyn just watched as he walked away.
"Are you okay?" Misty asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. It's not like I wanted to go to the poetry meeting with him and his friends again."
"True. But didn't you say that you don't trust that one girl?"
"Brittany? No, I don't trust her. But I trust Honker. And I know that he would never do anything to hurt me."
"Oh, and he feels the same way about you and Damien?"
"Why wouldn't he? There is nothing going on with me and Damien. End of story." She said.
Damien came walking in and spots the girls with a mischievous grin.
"Just the girls I wanted to see." He said.
Gosalyn quickly grasp a menu and covered up her face as he sat down.
"Hey Damien. What's up?" Misty asked.
"Well you know that Smash Mouth concert is tomorrow night right?"
"Yeah don't remind us. It's sold out."
"And I couldn't go I'm still grounded." Gosalyn said.
"Well I'm you're answer to you're prayers. I got a friend whose working on backstage and he said that if I can find three girls tonight. He will get us free tickets."
"Wow! Cool thanks Damien!"
"Yeah, you know where I can find any?" Damien asked.
"Ha ha." Misty said.
"So come on let's go!" Damien said.
Gosalyn stopped the girls before they could go. "Are you girls crazy! What do you think you're doing?"
"Going with Damien."
"Are you nuts! I can't go!"
"What? Why not?"
"Because I'm trying to stay away from him. And I can't do that when I'm with him in the same room."
"But we can't go if you don't go!"
"Then I guess you're not going." She said crossing her arms.
The girls looked at each other and back at Gosalyn.
"But wouldn't Honker want you to have fun?"
"Yeah of course he would."
"And are you?"
"Well.."
"And you wouldn't be alone with him. The three of us are going to be with you there."
"True. But…" She trailed on.
She looked up and they were all giving her the puppy dog look and sighed.
"Alright, I'll go. But we're just there for the tickets and then we leave okay?"
"Got it! Now let's go!"
They grabbed their bags and headed out of the restaurant.
"I sure hope I know what I'm doing."
At the club they're meeting Damien's friend Greg.
"Girls this is my friend Greg." Damien said.
"Hi." Greg said.
"Yeah hi, we're here for the tickets." Gosalyn said.
Greg laughed at that. "She sure is one that gets to the point."
"Yeah I am. Now where are they?" She asked.
"I'll get them. Would you three girls like to come with me?" He asked Ally, Misty and Rosie.
"Yeah!"
Gosalyn watched as they walked away in shock and looked back at Damien. Whom she was alone with.
'Just perfect.' She thought to herself.
With Honker and his friend sitting down on the ground by a ticket booth. Waiting for tickets for the same concert,
"Okay, you want to tell me why we're sitting here in the cold?"
"Easy, this is Gosalyn's favorite band. And things haven't been go well lately. I couldn't think of a better way to cheer her up."
"Wow, you must really love her."
Honker smiled big. "I do. And right now she's at home alone being grounded for some stupid thing."
Back with Gosalyn and Damien they haven't said a word to each other.
"Ahem, so Gos."
"Uh.. I have to go to the ladies room." She quickly walked past him and to the girls room.
Damien just looked at her confused.
Gosalyn is standing next to the sink looking at herself in the mirror.
"Alright Gos. You can't keep hiding from him. It was just a dream. It means nothing. I love Honker." She said.
She took a deep breath and walked back out. Damien walked up to her, "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why you ask?"
"Well it's just that you've been ignoring me lately."
"Well duh, you got me in trouble! And you're the last person I want to be with."
"I didn't do anything kid! This is all about what happened that night isn't it?"
"Nothing happened that night! And you know it!"
"Then why are you acting like something did?"
Gosalyn grunted and rolled her eyes. "I'm not having this conversation with you."
Just then the girls walked back to them. "Look, we got front row seats and back stage passes!" Ally exclaimed.
Gosalyn gasped and looked at them. "Awesome! No wait.. I can't go."
"What? Why not?!"
"Uh hello, still grounded and Honker's going to ask me where I got the tickets. And then I'm going to have to tell him about being with Damien. We all know that it's a sore subject already. So I can't go."
"Oh so Honker would want you to miss the concert of the year?"
Gosalyn sighed and just looked at the tickets.
Honker and his friend haven't moved yet.
"Sorry Honk, I got to go."
"But we haven't moved yet."
"Exactly look nothing personal against Gosalyn. But I have more important things tonight. See you tomorrow."
Hw got up and walked away and Honker just sat there as a dog walked up to h him and started to pee on him.
"Ah! No go away!" He exclaimed.
Hours past and is now 9 pm, they got the tickets and walked out of the club when it started to rain.
"Ahh!" Gosalyn exclaimed as they ran to Damien's car and drove off.
Honker is now sitting in the pouring the rain looking at the sky.
Damien pulls up to Gosalyn's drive way and she got out of the car. "Uh.. thanks for the lift Damien." She said.
"Yeah see you around neighbor." Damien said.
Gosalyn just chuckled as she closed the door and walked inside.
She walked inside and it was dark, music was playing.
"Why is it so dark in here?" She asked.
She turned the lights on and her dad and Morgana was together on the couch.
They stopped and looked up at her. "Gosalyn?" Morgana asked.
There was a whine bottle on the table.
"Ahh! Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't see anything! I swear!"
"What are you doing home so early?"
"Thunderstorm ruined the night. Uh.. I'll go up to my room. So you two can yeah,"
She grabs her stuff and runs to her room. "Ewww, I just walked in on my dad. I just got that image out of my head! Ahhh!" She exclaimed as she closed her door.
Drake got up and looked at her backstage pass and looked back at the stairs.
"Um.. I better go." Morgana said as she grabbed her stuff and headed out.
He said goodnight to Morgana and then walked up to Gosalyns room and knocked on the door.
"Gos?"
"Yeah?"
"I need to talk to you for a second."
He walked in and sat down on her bed. "I want to explain what happened with me and Morgana."
Gosalyn freaked out about that. "Oh please do. Cause I'm just dying to know. Just a few hours ago you said that you guys are over with. And when I get back I find you two uh… I don't even want to think about it. Are you two getting back together?"
"What? No not in the least. AT least not right now."
"Oh, so was just a one night stand or something? And here I thought that I was the only one that was screwed up."
"What?" Drake asked.
"Nothing. So you and Morgana aren't.."
"No! It's just that when you're with somebody for the longest time and when you're not with them. You get lonely and it just feels good."
"Okay uh ewww. I didn't know that. So what you're saying is that if me and Honker brake up. Which I hope doesn't happen. But if we and we get lonely one night. Then it's okay if we do that?" She asked.
Drake freaked out by that. "WHAT? No, it's totally not okay if you do it. In fact it's the opposite of okay."
"But why? You said when you're with somebody for a long time. Like me and Honker have. And if we brake up and get lonely. That it's okay if we…"
"I was wrong! Totally wrong. I couldn't be more wrong! Only do it when you're married! No… don't do at all! In fact I don't want you to do ever!"
Gosalyn laughed and rolled her eyes. "If you say so. Night dad." She said hugging him.
"Uh.. night."
Drake got up from her bed and headed out of the room. He looked back at the smiling Gosalyn. He closed the door behind her and walked into his bed room.
The next morning..
Gosalyn and Drake are in the kitchen eating breakfast and Gosalyn is just looking at the tickets.
"I made up my mind."
"About what?"
"About the tickets. I'll just tell Honker the truth. Cause lying will only cause you problems. Like you and Morgana. You both are lying about you're feelings for each other and hurting each other in the progress. You should just tell Morgana that you love her and want to be with her."
Drake chuckled at that. "Oh Gosalyn. It's not that easy."
Just then the doorbell rang and she got up from the table and headed to the door. Honker was standing there all wet and looked tired and gross.
Gosalyn gasped. "Oh my gosh! Honker, what happened to you? You look like you slept in a dumpster."
Honker laughed. "I was in line all night waiting to buy tickets for the concert tonight. Where it started to rain, my friend left me, a dog peed on me and I got gum in my hair."
"You got gum in you're hair for me?" She asked shocked.
"Yeah, and I think it's juicy fruit. Anyways, it paid off. I got the last two tickets for the concert."
He held them out and she smiled. "This is so cool! We must think alike! Cause I got two tickets to the same concert!"
She showed him the tickets and gasped. "Whoa! Front row seats! Where did you get them?"
Drake walked in and watched them.
"Uh.. I won them in radio contest last night."
Honker laughed and hugged her tight. "This is so awesome! I'm going to take a shower and we can meet later to talk."
"Okay, sounds good."
Honker grabbed his ticket and ran off, Drake walked over to her.
"Don't start dad."
"About what? Who just said that lying will only cause problems?"
"What was supposed to do? You saw him he had gum GUM in his hair for me. I wasn't going to say hey why you were out in the rain for me. I was backstage with the band alone with Damien."
"Whoa, whoa. You never told me that you was alone with Damien."
Gosalyn looked away and chuckled. "Uh.. I'm going to meet my friends. Bye!" She exclaimed.
She grabbed her stuff and headed out. Drake just looked at her confused.
She's now with her friends at the mall looking at clothes for the concert. Normally she wouldn't be interested in clothes. But she needed things to occupy her mind.
"So you chickened out huh?" Misty asked.
"You should have seen him. It was heart breaking. He looked like slept in a dumpster. Had gum in his hair and dog pee on him for me. Nobody ever did something like that for me. How could I tell him that I was with Damien last night back stage with the band?"
"Well enough about Damien. This is going to be a Damien free zone. So you walked in on you're dad with Morgana?" Misty asked.
Gosalyn paused and shivered at that. "Don't remind me. I had just gotten that image out of my head and then I walked in."
"What did you do?"
"I freaked out and ran to my room as soon as I could. That's never going to get out of my head."
"Are they?"
"Back together? Not that I know of. It just a night stand."
"Oh,"
"Yeah, they or should I say my dad. Wouldn't fess up and say Morgana I love you. So they're still playing the cat and mouse game."
"What was his reason for it?"
"Got lonely and called each other up. And had a friendly get together."
Misty laughed. "I'll say it was friendly alright."
"Yeah I know. I wish they would just fess up and say 'I'm crazy about you.'"
"Like you and Damien?" Ally asked.
"Hey! I thought that this was going to be a Damien free zone."
"That is until the concert. When you're sitting in between him and Honker. That's going to awaked."
"Just drop it okay? I'm going to the concert with Honker not Damien!"
"But you're sitting next to Damien as well."
"ENOUGH!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
She stormed to the next rack of clothes.
Damien is with Negaduck talking.
"This couldn't get any better. Darkwing doesn't have a clue what I'm up too. And soon all of St. Canard is going to be in my power." Negaduck laughed.
Damien rolled his eyes and sighed. "Okay, great. Can I go now?"
"Yes sure. Go to the local pizza place."
"Why's that?"
"To hint to that boy about the two of you. To really rub it in."
Damien shrugged and walked out of the hideout.
Negaduck laughed. "It wouldn't be long."
As Damien is walking to the pizza place he spotted the girls down the street.
"Hey girls!" He exclaimed.
Gosalyn ignored him and they continued to walk. Damien stopped in front of her and wouldn't let her move.
"What?"
"Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Hey, what ever you got to say to her. You can say to us." Misty said.
"That's right."
"Please just 5 minutes."
"Sorry."
The girls walked away and he just looked at her confused.
"Gos, this is insane! You can't just keep ignoring Damien. He's going to find out sooner then later."
"Not if I can help it." Gosalyn said.
Misty and the girls looked at her and shook their heads.
Inside the pizza place.. Honker is sitting with his friend Parker.
"Are you sure you don't want these tickets?" Honker asked.
Parker laughed. "Please, those are crappy seats to a crappy band. I pass."
"Well what am I supposed to do with these? When Gos got front row seats."
Damien then came walking in and spotted them he grinned and walked over to them.
"Hey Honk, you must be really existed about the concert tonight huh?"
"Oh yeah. Gosalyn told you huh?"
"Told me? I was with her when she got the tickets. In fact I'm going to sit right next to her tonight."
Honker was confused. "What? But I thought that she got them for winning a contest."
Damien's beeper started to go off. "Oh, I got to go. See you tonight Honk."
As Damien walked away Honker looked at Parker confused.
"Why didn't she tell me?" Honker asked.
He thought about something and grabbed his cell phone and dialed Gosalyn's number.
"Gos we need to talk. Meet me at you're house in 5 minutes." He said.
He hung up the phone and looked at Parker. "What are you going to do?"
"I don't know yet. I'll figure that out when I get there."
He got up and walked out of the restaurant.
At the Mallard home..
Gosalyn answered the door and saw Honker.
"Hey, you sounded upset. What's wrong?" She asked.
He walked in with out saying a word and they walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.
Honker sighed. "We never lie to each other right?"
"Yeah."
"Well I think that I should be honest with you about something."
Gosalyn just sat there and looked at him. "What is it?" She asked.
"Well…"
Just then her cell phone rang. "Hold that thought Honker." She said.
She got up and walked over to her cell phone on the table. "Hello?"
"This is Parker Honker's friend."
Gosalyn looked confused at this for a minute. "Okay, what do you want?"
"Look, I don't know what Honker is up to. But I thought that I would be straight with you. He knows about the tickets with Damien."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. He said he didn't know what he was going to say or do. But I thought that you should know."
"Thanks Parker. Bye." She hung up the phone and turned back to him.
"You were saying Honk?"
Honker paused and sighed. "Well I.."
Gosalyn gasped and started to cry. "You're breaking up with me? To be with that Brittany chick." She acted.
Honker shook his head and looked at her. "No, no. It's not that. I love you Gosalyn."
His cell phone rang then and he grabbed it from his pocket. "Hello?"
"Honker, this is Parker."
"Parker, this isn't a good time. I'll have to call you back."
"Honker, look you're my friend and all. But I have to tell you. I told Gosalyn that you know."
"Oh, really?"
Honker looked back at an acting Gosalyn and hung up his phone and walked over to her,
"You okay Gos?" He asked.
Gosalyn sniffed. "I think so."
"Good cause I just got a call from Parker."
Gosalyn sat up and looked up at him. "Oh."
"What I don't get is that why didn't you just tell me about the tickets. And that you was with Damien?"
Gosalyn shrugged. "I don't know. You always get jealous when I'm with him. And I wanted you to be happy."
"Gos, I am happy. I'm always happy when I'm with you. But when you lie like this. It makes me think something's going on between you and Damien. Nothings going on with the two of you right? You two are just friends right? And I have nothing to worry about. Cause I don't know what to do if we ever broke up."
Gosalyn paused and smiled at him. "Of course not Honker. Nothing is going on. We're just friends and nothing more."
"Oh thank god! That's what I wanted to hear."
They hugged each other and Gosalyn bite her bottom lip with a sad look on her face.
Later that night..
They're all at the concert and Gosalyn is sitting next to Honker and Damien. Honker has his arm around her and everybody's singing and dancing along to the music.
"This is so awesome!" Honker exclaimed.
"I know!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
Damien and Gosalyn's hands touched each other, they paused and looked at each other. She pulled away and turned to her friends. "I'll be right back. I'm going to the girls room."
She walked past everybody with Damien right behind her.
In the lobby..
Gosalyn is heading to the girls room when Damien stopped her.
"Will you stop following me?!" She exclaimed.
"Not until you tell me what's wrong?"
Gosalyn stopped and looked at him. "What's wrong is that I'm trying to enjoy a concert with my BOYFRIEND and you keep looking at me!"
"I'm sorry I can't help it. I think I'm falling in love with you."
She stopped and looked at him confused. "What?"
"And I think that you love me too."
Gosalyn laughed at that. "Yeah, right! I'm in love with Honker not you. And nothings going to change that. So leave me alone!" She yelled.
As she about to walk in the ladies room he grabbed her hand pulled her close to him and kissed her. Her eyes widen and she just stood there.
To Be Continued…
