A Darkwing Christmas
"It was week before Christmas and the high school student wore all decorating their gym for the annual Christmas dance. Well all but one was." The Narrator said.
The scene is St. Carnard high school gym, the kids are all laughing and having a good time. While a 16 year old Honker was sitting on the stage not really into it.
"Another school dance. Another day to be alone." He said.
"Dances always make him depressed." The narrator said.
"Why so down Honkman?" Gosalyn asked.
She has shoulder length red hair and blonde highlights, an eye brow ring, wearing a purple and black sweat shirt, army pants and boots.
"There she is! The girl of his dreams. He's had a crush on her since he can remember. He really wanted to ask her to the dance. But there's one problem. One huge problem that is getting in his way." The narrator said.
A guy with spiky brown hair, brown eyes, wearing a blue and yellow sweatshirt and jeans. Comes behind Gosalyn with a mistletoe.
"Look up." The boy said.
Gosalyn looked up and smiled at him.
"Hey you." She said.
The two kissed and Honker narrowed his eyes at him.
"That's Gosalyn's boyfriend Nate. They've been dating for about 3 months now. He's on the football team. He's into all the things that Honker wishes he could be into. And Honker couldn't stand him. For stealing his girl away from him. Though he hasn't came out and asked her out."
"Hey Honkman. How's it going?" Nate asked.
"It's Honker. And it's none of you're business." He replied.
Gosalyn rolled her eyes at him for that.
"Sorry I asked. So Gos, I'll pick you up at seven?" Nate asked.
"You know it." Gosalyn replied.
The two of them kissed again and Nate walked away.
Gosalyn smiled and turned back to Honker.
"So Honk, you ready to go?" She asked.
Honker sighed and nodded his head.
Honker, Ally and Gosalyn are walking home in the freezing cold weather.
Gosalyn is wearing a black and blue winter coat.
The girls are talking about their dresses, shoes, hair and all the girly things.
Which Honker wasn't into, either was Gosalyn. That was until Nate had walked back into her life.
"I still can't believe that you and Nate are dating for 3 months now." Ally said.
"Oh I know me neither. How awesome is it. That he moved back here?" Gosalyn asked.
"Oh totally. It's just like a love movie. You two lived in the same adoption center for years. He then moved away before you were adopted. And moved back 8 years later."
Gosalyn blushed at that.
'What is with these girls? They act like I don't even exist.' Honker thought to himself.
He just shook the thoughts out of his head and kept walking with them.
They arrived at Gosalyn's house, without thinking the girls walked in. Leaving Honker outside he just sighed and walked back to his house and slammed the door.
Which caused Tank to wake up from the couch. He had passed out from the night before.
"Ahh the noise." Tank said.
"Just leave me alone." Honker said.
Tank got up and walked up to him.
"What's wrong with you?" Tank asked.
"Nothing leave me alone." He replied.
Tank raised his eyebrow at that. "Really? Isn't tonight the Christmas dance at you're school?" He asked.
"Yeah so what's you're point?" Tank asked.
Tank then chuckled and grinned. "Oh that's right. Gosalyn is going with her boyfriend. And it's just killing you." He mocked.
"Just drop it Tank." Honker said.
"Oh but it's so true. You want to be the one who takes her." Tank teased.
"TANK!" Honker exclaimed.
"Life's a bitch isn't it? But I have just the thing to help you." He said.
He pulled out a bottle of whiskey out of his pocket and Honker just looked at it.
With the girls..
Gosalyn and Ally are in her room.
"So Honker isn't coming?" Ally asked.
Gosalyn shook her head and sighed. "No. Honker doesn't have a date and he's not really into dances." She said.
"Oh okay. We'll have fun anyways." Ally said.
"You bet." Gosalyn replied.
The girls high fived each other.
Later in the night..
The doorbell rang and Drake answered it.
It was Nate and Ally's boyfriend Chris.
"Hi boys." Drake said.
"Hi Mr. Mallard."
The boys walked into the house, Drake looked at the Muddle foots house and sighed.
"I'll go get the girls." Drake said.
He walked to the stairs.
"Girls you're dates are here." He called up.
"Coming." Gosalyn called from her room.
The door opened and the girls walked out.
Gosalyn is wearing a purple sparkling dress, high heels. Ally is wearing a baby blue dress.
The boys jaw dropped to the ground when they saw them.
"Hey." Gosalyn said smiling to Nate.
"Hey." Nate replied.
The two kissed each other, Drake grabbed his digital camera.
"Okay guys say cheese." He said.
The kids stood together and smiled back. "Cheddar." They mussed.
The picture was taken, the kids walked out of the house.
In Honkers room…
He's doing his homework when he heard laughter coming from outside.
He looked out the window and saw the kids getting in the limo.
He sighed and looks back at his homework, pulls open the dresser and looks at the bottle.
Closed it back up and continued to do his home work.
After the dance was over with the limo pulls up to Gosalyn's house.
Nate and Gosalyn walked out of the house, to the house.
"Hope you had a good time." Nate said.
"Very much so." She replied.
"Good." He said.
He leaned in for the kiss and they kissed.
"Night."
"Night."
They walked their different ways.
Honker was watching from his room.
"That's it!" He exclaimed.
He reached for his bottle and popped it open and drank.
The next afternoon..
Honker is outside with a huge hang over.
He spotted Gosalyn walking out of the house.
He made sure that his sunglasses wore up right.
"Hey Honk." She said.
Honker gasped and looked back at her. "Oh hey Gos." He said.
"What are you doing today?" She asked.
"Oh nothing much. How about you?" He asked.
"The usual. Go to the mall with Ally and then meeting Nate at his house. You really should of came last night. You would have a blast last night. I think that Casey girl has a thing for you." Gosalyn said.
"Nah, you know me. I would have been on coat guard or something." He said.
"I don't know. Casey would of danced with you I bet." She said.
"I'm not interested in Casey." Honker said.
Gosalyn looked at him and raised her eyebrow at him. "Why are you wearing sunglasses in the middle of winter." She asked.
"No reason." He said.
Gosalyn rolled her eyes. "What ever. I better go meet Ally. So I'll see you in training lessons tonight? We're going to do the cool stuff tonight." She said.
Honker shrugged. "I guess." He replied.
"Cool see you then." She said.
She walked away and Honker took out the bottle of whiskey and drank some more of it.
"He couldn't take it! She just keeps talking about him. And how great he is. She even tried to hook him up with somebody. How rude? And this is the only way to help him forget." The narrator said.
At the girls at the mall…
They're doing their last minute Christmas shopping.
"Last night was a blast." Ally said.
"Tell me about it. It would have been cooler if Honker would of come." Gosalyn said.
"Did he say why he didn't come?" Ally asked.
"No, he just said that he had things to do. Besides he would be the only one who didn't have a date. That would be a hard pill to take." Gosalyn said looking through some C.D.S
"Yeah, I guess it would." Ally replied.
Gosalyn kept thinking about something. There was something about Honker that just didn't seem right. But she just shrugged it off and kept looking.
Honker is in his room drinking some more.
"I think Casey has a thing for you? Nate is so awesome…." Kept running through his mind.
"Why can't I get her out of mind?" He asked himself.
He just kept drinking trying to forget.
Later that night…
Gosalyn and Drake are in the tower waiting for Honker.
But he hasn't shown up yet. Which is not like Honker at all.
Gosalyn sighed and looked at her watch. "Where are you Honk?" She asked herself.
Drake then came walking up to her.
"Gos, I know you've been looking forward to this. But we have to start with out him." He said.
Gosalyn was crushed to hear that. "But dad. I can't do that move with out Honk." She pleaded.
"Rule number 1 of being hero. You have to learn to do things on your own. I have to be on patrol in an hour. So it's either now or next week. You're choice." Drake said.
Gosalyn paused and thought about it for a second.
"Oh, alright we can do it." She said sadly.
"Good. Just let me get the mats all set up and we can start." Drake said.
He walked away and Gosalyn just looked out the window.
'This is mine and Honker's time. Not even a stinking phone call or anything.' She thought to herself.
Practice is now over off..
Drake and Launch Pad have left for their mission and Gosalyn is tiring her shoes.
When a drunken Honker stumbles in.
"Sorry I'm late." He said.
Gosalyn just narrowed her green eyes at him with anger.
"Where the hell have you been? Training was an hour ago! You knew that today was important for me…." She trailed on.
She looked him carefully and gasped. "Wait a minute are you drunk?" She asked.
Honkers eyes widen he heard that. 'She knows!' He thought to himself.
He quickly shook the thoughts out of his head and shook his head.
"No, you're crazy!" He exclaimed.
"Don't mess with me Honk. I can smell it on ya." She pointed out.
"Ppth, you're imagining things Gos." He said.
"No I'm not! Before I was adopted by my dad. I lived with alcoholic before." She said.
"So that has nothing to do with me." Honker said.
Gosalyn really didn't have time for this. She's already pissed at him as it is. And she didn't know for sure if he is.
"Okay, what ever. Just do me a favor will ya? Don't be coming to practices anymore."
"Fine." Honker said.
Gosalyn walked away and left her gym bag on the floor.
Honker felt crushed that she didn't want him around anymore. So what did he do? He took out the bottle of whisky and took a sip.
Honker is alone in the tower drinking. 'Stupid Nate! Stupid Gosalyn!' He thought to himself.
He knew he should stop but at the moment he didn't care about anything.
Just then he heard voices coming from a distance.
He gasped and shoved the empty bottle in Gosalyn's gym bag and ran off.
"I can't believe that you forgot the money." Drake said.
"Sorry D.W. I just forgot." L.P. replied.
Drake sighed and saw Gosalyn's gym bag on the floor.
"How many times do I have to tell Gos. To take this home with her?" He asked.
He picked it up and was about to throw it over his shoulder when something fell out.
"What the?" He asked,
He leaned down and picked it up. His eyes widen and gasped at the sight of it.
"Oh Gosalyn what you doing to you're self?" He asked.
