Chapter 8
The next morning..
Gosalyn is just waking up and is in a real bad mood. First of all her and Honker are no more. Tonight's the prom as well. So double dread. Plus the fact that she still hasn't heard about the internship. Big exams coming up. Last is the fact that Damien knows about her little crush on him.
"This just isn't my day." She said.
She walked down the stairs and Drake was sitting down in his chair reading the paper. He paused and looked up at her. "Hey, Kido. How are you doing?"
She chuckled at that for a minute. "Oh just peachy dad. Honker and I have broken up over a stupid crush. Damien knows about it. No word from J. Gander about the internship. Got about 4 exams today. So yeah my life is just great."
"Are you still going to the prom tonight?"
"That just makes my day complete. Knowing that today is the prom. No date now. So my answer is no." She said ting her shoes.
Drake paused and looked at her. "Gos, I still think you should go."
"And what? Be surrendered by all those happy couples? No thanks I'll pass." She said.
"Gos, at least think about it."
She paused and thought about it. "Fine, I'll think about it."
She got up and grabbed her stuff and heads out of the house.
Damien is with Negaduck talking about the plans. The fearsome five showed up. "So what did you want us here Negaduck?" Megavolt asked.
Damien and Negaduck turned around and gave them the same evil look.
Liquidator shivered at that. "Whoa, you two are related."
"What a bunch of knobs." Damien said.
Negaduck laughed. "Alright listen up knobs. My boy Damien has plans."
Damien grabbed a map and placed it down
They looked at it and back at Damien. "It's just a map of the school."
"Exactly. See you knobs, tonight's the prom. All the kids are going to be there. And they're parents will do anything for them. All spoiled rotten." Damien said.
"And what does this have to do with us?" Quacker jack asked.
Damien and Negaduck slapped their foreheads at that.
"We're stranded by idiots." Damien said.
Negaduck sighed. "I have to deal with them every day."
"Look, you idiots! If we hold there kids hostage at the prom. They will give us money for them. Get it?!" Damien said.
"Oh, yeah. Now that makes sense." Megavolt said.
Damien grabs his bag and heads out.
"Hey, where is HE going?" Bushroot asked.
"To get the plan started." Damien said as he walked out.
Gosalyn arrived at the school and walked in the hall ways. Everybody is just looking and talking about her.
"Okay guys. I get it! I missed up! You can stop talking about me now." She said.
She walked to her locker and opened it up there was a picture of her and Honker looking back at her.
She paused and slammed the locker door shut there was Damien.
"Whoa, what did that locker ever did to you?" He asked.
She just glared at him and walked away.
"So you're ignoring me now? It's not my fault that you have a crush on me."
"Don't start with me Damien. I'm not in the mood."
"Yeah, well I know what will cheer you up. You me and the prom tonight. What do you say?"
She paused and started laughing at that. "You think that I would actually go to the prom with you? Oh, that's rich. You're the reason why me and Honker broke up! So my answer is no."
She started to walk away when he grabbed her arm.
"Nobody says no to me!" He yelled.
. "Well I just did! Nobody man handles me!" She exclaimed.
She makes a fist and jabs him in the stomach and he lets her go as he groans in pain, she grabs her bag and storms off.
He groans as he gets up and gets his stuff and heads to his first class.
Gosalyn is sitting in her class looking at the bruise Damien had left on her arm. Misty and the others walked in and saw her.
"Oh my gosh! Gosalyn, what happened to you're arm?" Rosie asked.
Gosalyn snapped out of it and shook her head. "Huh? Oh, nothing. I just fell. You know me I'm such a klutz." She said.
She didn't feel like talking about Damien and since it's nothing.
Misty knew better but didn't say anything as they sat down.
"So, any of you girls got dates for tonight?" Gosalyn asked.
They all shook their heads at that. "Nope."
Gosalyn then got an idea. "Then how about if we just go together and have fun. After the week I had. I really need to get out and have fun." She said.
"Sounds good." Misty said.
They all smiled and nodded their heads.
School was in now over with and the girls are walking out of the building when Misty's cell phone rang.
Everybody looked at their cell phones trying to figure out whose is ringing.
Misty chuckled. And grabbed hers. "It's me." She said.
She looked at it and it was a text message from Honker. Saying meet me at the pizza place in 5 minutes.
She looked at it strange and she shook the thoughts out of her head. "Uh.. come on Ally and Rosie. We.. have to go."
"Why?" Gosalyn asked.
"We still haven't figured out what we're wearing." Misty said.
Misty grabbed the girls arm and took off and Gosalyn just stood there looking really confused.
The girls arrived at the pizza place and saw Honker sitting there. They took a deep breath and walked over to him.
"Alright Honk. What do you want?" Misty asked.
"Yeah, we can't be here long. We have to get ready to the prom."
Honker looked up. "Is Gosalyn going to the prom with Damien?" He asked.
They looked at each other and back at him in disbelieve. They can't believe that he would ask something like that.
"WHAT?! You called us over here just ask that?!" Misty asked.
"Yeah, Honker. Don't you have anything better to do?" Ally asked.
"Please, you have to just tell me. Is she going to the prom with Damien?" He asked.
Misty just gave him a death stare. "What do you think Honker. Do you really think that Gosalyn you're dearest and best friend. Would do something like that to you? If you do. Then it's pretty obvious that you don't know the first thing about Gosalyn. Come on girls, lets get out of here."
They walked out and Honker looked back at his picture of them and sighed.
It is now time for the prom and Drake is waiting down stairs with his camera ready.
Gosalyn comes walking down the stairs wearing a purple sleeve less dress with black knee high boots. Drake grasped at that. It's not every day that she's in a dress.
"Oh wow." He said with tears in his eyes.
Gosalyn looked at him strange. "What? Do I look that stupid?" She asked.
"No, you look stunning."
Gosalyn smiled at that. "Thanks, at least that's something I can get right."
Drake was about to say something when the girls came walking in.
"Well it's about time you showed up." Gosalyn said crossing her arms.
"Sorry, but something came up."
"Oh, yeah? Like what?"
The girls looked at each other and back at her. "Uh.. we'll tell you later Gos."
"Girls, let's get a picture of the four of you together." Drake said waving the camera around.
Gosalyn sighed. "He's a little snap happy with his new camera. So just play along."
The girls all stood together and he took the picture.
"Alright on the count of three say senior prom!" Drake said.
"Prom!" The girls exclaimed.
A car horn honked and Drake walked to the window and saw a limo.
"You're limo is here." He said.
The girls gasped and grabbed their purses. "Let's rock and roll!" Misty said.
They laughed and as they walked out Gosalyn looked at Honkers house.
Drake saw her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Try to have fun Gos."
"I will." She said. They hugged and they got in the limo and drove off.
Honker watched them drove off through his window, he sighed and looked around.
In the limo..
Misty had just told her about her meeting with Honker.
"You kidding me?! He actually thinks that I would do something like that? Wow, he must really hate me."
"No, he doesn't hate you. He's hurt."
"Yeah, what ever."
Misty sighed. "This is why I didn't want to say anything before the prom. I didn't want to ruin the night."
Gosalyn sighed and nodded her head.
They shortly arrived at the school, got out of the limo and walked in.
"Come on girls, it's a girls night out! Let's party!" Ally exclaimed.
They laughed and walked in the gym. It was all decorated in the usual prom ways.
"Wow, looks like they went all out for this." Misty said.
Gosalyn nodded her head she got a bad feeling all of a sudden, just then the gym doors closed.
"Attention kids of St. Canard High. There has been a change of plans." A voice said from behind the stage.
The kids all looked at the stage and saw Negaduck walking out. The kids gasped with fright about that.
Back at home..
Drake and Morgana are talking. "So she went to the prom huh?"
"Yeah, she needed a little break from everything. I'm glad that I talked her into going."
"I bet you are." Morgana said.
Back at school..
"What's Negaduck doing here?" Gosalyn asked.
Misty, Rosie shrugged at that.
"I am so going to kill my dad. Into talking me into coming here." Gosalyn said.
"Brats, my boys here are going to gather you're cell phones and all you're other gadgets."
Bushroot, Megavolt and Liquidator and Quackerjack all walked around grabbing the kids cell phones.
"This just isn't my day." Gosalyn mumbled to herself.
Negaduck is walking around the stage talking as they are being tied up.
"Now, this isn't about you brats. It's about you're parents. Making me public enemy 2. After doctor slug. He couldn't find his way out a paper bag! Well this plan will show them!" Negaduck yelled.
Misty and Gosalyn are tied up together and so are Ally and Rosie.
"Boy, he sure knows how to hold a grudge." Gosalyn said.
Misty laughed. "Yeah, he does. What was like 7 years ago?"
Ally looked at them strange. She doesn't know who Gosalyn's dad is, and how they know so much about him.
"What are you girls talking about?" Ally asked.
"Uh.. nothing Ally."
"Yeah, we're just chatting." Misty mussed.
"What were they talking about Rosie?" Ally asked.
Rosie didn't know what to say either so she just sat there with a dumb founded look.
"Uh… They never tell me anything." She said.
Ally felt really left out about that. It used to be just her and Gosalyn. Now it's Misty and Gosalyn all the time. She doesn't know what is going on with Gosalyn.
"Oh." Ally said looking down.
Back at home..
Morgana and Drake are watching TV when Negaduck showed up.
"Attention St. Canard. This is you're public enemy number one here. Now you're probably wondering what I'm doing on TV. Well I thought that I'll go down memory lane. Remember what you're senior prom? Of course you do. It was full wonderful surprises and great memories. Well you're little brats will have a bunch of wonderful memories tonight. That's if any of them survive."
The screen went out to show the gym and the kids being tied up.
Drake gasped when he saw Gosalyn sitting there.
"Gosalyn!" He exclaimed.
"That's right. I'm with you're kids right now. And if you know what's good for them. You will do exactly what I say."
Morgana turned off the TV. "So what are you going to do Drake?" She asked.
When there was no answer she looked back and he was gone. "Drake?" She asked.
The chairs have moved she rolled her eyes and blew out the candles.
"So much for the romantic evening."
Drake is in the ratcatcher on his way to the gym.
"I'll never forgive myself if something had happened to her. I should have just let her Stayed AT HOME LIKE she wanted to. But nooo, I had to talk her into going to her prom." He said.
Back with the girls..
Gosalyn is trying to get free from the rope. But it isn't coming off, she's struggling so hard. And Misty is just sitting there not moving.
"Gosalyn." Misty said.
"What?"
"The more you struggle. The more it's going to get tighter." Misty said.
"Well do you have a better way to get out?"
"Yeah, you do know that I can just phase right through it right?" Misty asked.
Gosalyn quickly stopped and turned to her. "Yeah? But what about everybody around?"
"What about them?"
"You're little secret. Do you want everybody to know who you are?"
Misty shrugged. "They already think I'm weird. Besides they're too concerned with the fearsome five to even worry about me. I can find out what they're up too. And come back before they even know I'm gone."
Gosalyn thought about it for a second and nodded her head. "Alright, but be careful."
"I always am." Misty said.
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes and phased right through the rope. Like a ghost.
Ally witnessed that and gasped. "Whoa! How did she do that?"
Gosalyn had to think of something fast. "Uh.. she's huge on magic."
Which wasn't a lie. She was into magic. Just not the kind of magic that Ally thinks.
Misty is invisible and looking for some clues about what they're up too. She then heard a familiar voice talking to Negaduck.
"That voice, I know I've heard it before." She said.
She glided over to the corner and gasped at the sight of The Dark Prince.
"Great idea son!" Negaduck said.
Damien laughed. "Yeah, I know. It wasn't hard to fool those kids."
Misty thought about something and gasped again. "I KNEW IT!" She exclaimed.
"Did you hear something?" Damien asked.
"That's something you're going to get used to." Negaduck laughed.
Misty took off running back. "I got to tell Gosalyn." She said.
Drake is in traffic because of the prom with all those limos.
"Why is there always a traffic jam when you're in a hurry?" He asked.
He sat there tapping his fingers waiting. Then he got fed up and zoomed over the cars.
"I'm coming Gos."
Back with Gosalyn Misty just showed up behind her like ghost.
"What did you find out?" Gosalyn asked.
"You're not going to believe this. Dark Prince is with him! And this was all a trick! Dark Prince is his son!"
Gosalyn gasped. "What? I know that he can be such a jerk. But come on, Negaduck?"
"Gosalyn, think about it. Don't you think that it's just a little ironic that the same day that we was fighting Negaduck. Damien just happened to show up, and everything went to heck." Misty said.
"Whoa! When did you guys fight Negaduck?" Ally asked.
"Ally, we'll tell you later." Gosalyn said.
She thought about everything and everything just clicked. Her eyes narrowed and turned bright red.
"Oh, he's a dead man. Misty, do you think you phase me out?" She said.
"Yeah, sure."
Misty placed her hand on the rope and it fell off of her.
Gosalyn stood up and shook off. "Alright, Misty you get every untied and get them out safe."
"But what are you going to do?" Misty asked.
"It's time to take out the trash." She said.
Gosalyn walked away and Misty went to untie everybody.
A smoke bomb went off next to the fearsome four. "I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the gum that's stuck on you're shoe. I AM Darkwing duck!"
Darkwing showed up and they all moaned. "Well so much for Damien's plans." Quackerjack said.
Darkwing paused at that. 'Damien? How do they know Damien?' He asked himself.
He shook the thoughts out of his head and grabbed his gas gun at them. "Suck gas. Evil doer!"
"Ahhh!" They all exclaimed.
They took off running and Darkwing chased them. Negaduck came walking back in and rubbed his forehead at them.
"What a bunch of knobs." He said.
Damien is on the roof of the building looking at the scene. When Gosalyn climbs on top of the building.
"Yo Damien!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
Damien looked behind and saw Gosalyn standing there. "Gosalyn. Why you look so beautiful tonight."
"Cut the crap Damien or should I say Negaduck junior."
"What?" Damien laughed.
"I know everything Damien."
"Well it's about time you figured it out. Now I don't have to pretend to like you."
"Ooh, ouch! Are you trying to hurt my feelings?" Gosalyn asked.
"Wasn't hard. All I had to do is spend time with you. And cause friction between you and Honker."
Gosalyn was getting really mad now and she made a fist. "Enough talk."
Damien laughed. "Alright then. Bring it on."
They started to fight with each other.
Back inside Darkwing spotted the girls and ran to them. "Are you girls okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, we're fine."
"Good."
Negaduck walked behind him. "But you wouldn't." He said.
He pulled out a mallet and was about to hit him on the head, but Darkwing ducked and missed.
Soon those two started to fight as well.
Misty looked around and back at the girls. "Alright, Rosie you and Ally get out of here."
"What?" Ally asked.
"Just trust me. It's better that you don't know."
"Okay, come on Ally." Rosie said.
Rosie grabbed Ally's hand and they took off. Ally looked back and saw Misty took off to find Gosalyn.
Back outside with Damien and Gosalyn, it's pouring rain. They're both bruised and her dress is ripped. This is the hardest thing that she has ever done.
Gosalyn is stopping to catch her breath.
Damien looked at her as he took a deep breath too. "Give up?" He asked.
She laughed and shook her head. "Not even close. My dad always said a true hero never gives up."
"You're dad's a knob!"
"Oh yeah? Well at least my dad doesn't make me do his dirty work. I bet he doesn't care about you." She said.
Damien eyes turned bright red and went charging towards her. He got her pinned to the ground, her head is hanging off the building. She looked down and gasped, closed her eyes.
Damien just has an evil gin on his face.
Darkwing came crashing out the window and he moaned as he got up. "Ouch."
He got up and rubbed his head as thunderstruck he looked up and saw Gosalyn trapped.
"Gosalyn!" He yelled.
He went to pull out his gas gun when Negaduck was behind him and kicked it out.
"Stay out of that fight! It's not up to you." Negaduck said.
They started to fight again.
Back up with Gosalyn still trapped with Damien over her.
"So how was the kiss Gos? Was it everything that you dreamed it would be? How does it feel to lose you're best friend and you're boyfriend at the same time? I got you all figured out. All I had to do is act like I was into you. And then ignore you, to make you jealous. It was all too easy." Damien laughed.
"You don't know the first thing about me." She said.
She then did a back flip and kicked him off and stood up on her feet ready to fight.
Damien smiled back and chuckled. "You're full of it aren't you?" He asked.
"You have no idea." She replied.
Before they started to fight again Darkwing finally swung up there using his gas gun. He landed next to Gosalyn.
"Alright, you two break it up!" He exclaimed.
Damien laughed. "Yeah, why don't you listen to you're daddy." He laughed.
Gosalyn went charging at him but Darkwing stopped her. "Gosalyn, listen to me. You can't let this creep control you're feelings."
"But…"
"No buts, I just fought Negaduck. I'm tired and I'm here to take you home. So come on."
As they were talking Damien looked at Darkwing who was standing really close to the edge of the building and grinned.
"This is for you dad." He said.
He then went charging towards Drake with his huge knife. Gosalyn spotted him before and jumped at him. The two of them went falling off the building. Darkwing gasped.
"Gosalyn!" He exclaimed.
They went flying down the building, Gosalyn is crying and Damien is screaming.
Gosalyn grabs a hold of a window ledge and kicks the window open. And she swings inside.
Drake grabs his gas gun and shots it out. "Gosalyn, I'm coming."
He goes flying away.
Gosalyn lends out of the window and looked down at Damien. "Damien, give me you're hand. I'll pull you out."
"Never!" He exclaimed.
"Come, Damien. I'm not kidding. Give me you're hand. I'll pull you in."
"Why? So you can let go of me?"
"No, Cause you're still a person. And unlike you I wouldn't be able to handle hurting somebody. So give me you're hand!"
He looks at her shocked and is starting to lose his grip and goes flying down. "Ahh!" Damien exclaimed.
Gosalyn's eyes widen in horror as she watched him fall. Darkwing comes flying down and crashes inside. "Gosalyn!" He exclaimed.
They hugged. "Dad." She said.
Just then Negaduck's jet came flying past them with both Damien and Negaduck inside of it.
"You haven't seen the last of us Darkwing! We'll be back!" Negaduck said as they took off.
The two of them stood there and watched them fly off. Darkwing put his hand on her shoulder. "Come on, let's go home." He said.
Gosalyn nodded her head.
In the ratcatcher Gosalyn is just sitting in the passenger seat. Darkwing sighed and looked at her. "How you doing kiddo?" He asked.
Gosalyn shrugged, "I don't know."
"Well, I might have some good news for you."
"Yeah, what?" She asked.
He grabbed a package and handed it to her. "This came for you today." He said.
She grabbed it and looked at it. "It's from S.H.U.S.H."
"Yup." He said.
She just sat there looking at it as they drove off.
Later that night..
Gosalyn is at the tower looking at the scenery holding the letter in her hands. Honker comes walking looking for in. He has heard what had happened to her.
"Hey Gos." He said.
"Hey Honk." She replied.
He walked up to her and sat down next to her. "Gos, I am sorry. I heard what happened."
"News travels fast around here."
"Yeah, it is a small town."
There was a long quite pause and Honker looked at her. "Well the good news is we can spend the summer together again."
Gosalyn was shocked to hear that and looked at him confused. "What? You want to get back together?"
"Yeah, of course. I never stopped loving you Gosalyn. And now since school is over with and Damien isn't in the picture. We can get back to normal. I mean, don't you?"
Gosalyn just looked down at the scene again.
"Gos?" Honker asked.
Gosalyn sighed. "I got a response from S.H.U.S.H. today."
Honker was shocked at that. "What? I thought that it was out of the question."
She shrugged. "Had a last minute cancellation I guess."
"Oh, you got in didn't you?" He asked.
She nodded her head.
"Wow, so uh.. what about us then? Are you going to get back together?" He asked.
"Honk, right now. I don't know what I want. I just want a new scenery. I am so sick of this town right now. I am no way ready to jump right into a relationship with you or anybody for that matter. Maybe after summer is over who knows what will happen."
"Wow, it sounds final."
"Sorry Honk. But something that my dad had said to me finally clicked."
"What's that?"
"He said that before you can love somebody. You have to be comfortable with just being you. And I haven't been lately. I've been too busy worrying about you and you're friends in college. And what will everybody think if I hung out with Damien. That I haven't stopped and thought about what I want."
Honker understood but didn't like it and nodded his head. "I understand." He said.
The next weekend..
Gosalyn and the others are in the airport saying goodbye.
Drake is hugging her tight. "Alright, Gosalyn. You call me when you get there. And when you get up in the morning and before you go to sleep at night. I'll be visiting you during the summer."
Gosalyn hugged him back and smiled. "I will dad. And I look forward to you're visits."
She then walked over to Misty and Rosie. Rosie is just in tears. "I don't want you to leave!" She cried.
"Oh Rosie. I'll be gone for a month and a half. You can visit me any time you want. Besides you're going to be there shortly."
She hugged Rosie and then turned to Misty. "Don't you start on me too Misty."
Misty laughed. "Oh, you're not getting rid me that easy. I'll be joining you there in a few weeks too."
They hugged as well.
Honker hugged her next. "You better come back." He said.
Gosalyn chuckled. "Don't worry, I think if I take too long. My dad will drag me back home."
"You better believe it." Drake replied.
"Flight 101 is about to aboard." The flight attended said.
"Well that's me." Gosalyn said.
Drake hugged her again. "Oh I'm going to miss you so much." He said.
"I'll miss you too dad."
Gosalyn sighed at the sight of no Ally there. Ally would never understand what's going on. And she couldn't risk Ally getting hurt over this.
Drake placed his hand on her shoulder. "You did the right thing." He said.
She nodded her head, grabbed her purse and headed to the port. She turned around and waved to everybody and blew kisses. "Love you all!" She said.
She turned back around and handed inside. Drake and the others stood there watching outside.
Gosalyn walked into the plane and found her seat and sat down. This was just what she needs is to get away from everything for awhile. She's been too busy with Honker and the whole Damien thing. Which she is very ticked about. Looks like she has a new enemy. And this is the best thing for her. Best of all she will be on her own for the summer! No Drake no dad no nothing! She'll be totally free staying in her own apartment!
"This is you're caption speaking. We're just about ready to take off to you're destination. Hope you enjoy the flight." The pilot said.
Gosalyn grabs her ipod from her bag and leans back and closes her eyes.
The plane was starting to take off.
Everybody watched as the plane took off and walked away. Drake had tears in his eyes and watched as she flew away.
"See you soon my baby girl." He said.
Morgana walked up to him. "You ready Drake?" She asked.
Drake nodded his head. "Yeah, I am." He said.
They walked off hand in hand.
The End.
