Chapter 1
She felt lonely, as if she was the only female duck in existence. A sudden fear imprisoned her, and she gasped to breathe.
"Launchpad?" she quietly called out, reaching out for her husband-to-be, her fiancé, since last August when he proposed at Sugar Loaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro almost ten months ago.
But he did not answer, so she turned over quickly, now more awake, and found that Launchpad was not with her.
She bent her head back onto her pillow in submission and sighed at herself. She forgotten, she was on a camping trip with some of her girlfriends. They dragged her away a few days ago. Launchpad was still in Duckburg. And she wouldn't see him again until the night of the dress rehearsal, about a week away. She still did not fully comprehend why they kidnapped her to a mosquito-ridden place instead of a nice hotel with a spa.
Bella glanced at her watch; it was almost five. She reached into one of her sports bags she brought along as luggage and grabbed a pair of sweat pants. She then quickly got dressed and slipped out of the tent.
It was still dark, but there was a hint that dawn was not too far away, and at any rate she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. She yawned, and stretched her face, moving her wild hair out of the way.
She shook her head, silently screamed within herself, "No Bella, there is no doubt, you love Launchpad with every piece of your heart, with every piece of your soul. There is no denying the great desire in brings out when you are with him."
She shivered, and held herself. "Third time is the charm..." And with that she released the hold on herself, and made herself into the woods, following the path to the lake just a few acres from here. Satisfied that she was alone, she took off her sweat pants, tied up her long T-shirt just about her navel and jumped in.
He shook his head and reached out to the phone and began to dial Daisy's cell phone.
Please stand by, we are connecting you to a voicemail voice box... Hello? Daisy Duck's cell phone; I can not get to the phone...
Donald hung up the phone without leaving a message, sloppily placing the receiver on its base before attempting to go back to bed. After a few moments of consideration, he decided to get up, since the alarm would be going off in about an hour anyway. And this way he could use the shower before the boys emerged.
HuemanQB1: Better go Gos, the parentals will emerge soon.
IceDuckQueen: Just your uncle? Daisy and your mom are on that trip, right?
Huey nodded even though he knew Gosalyn couldn't see him.
HuemanQB1: Yeah, Bachelorette type of thing Goodnight Love you.
IceDuckQueen: Yeah, Dad should be back from his case soon Love you too. Night.
Huey sign-off from his computer and sneaked off to bed. It was the summer after his senior year of high school, and the last few days he has been staying up for an insane amount of hours. Most of the time the eighteen-year-old has been spending at least part of these late hours in front of the computer talking to his seventeen-year-old girl friend. He was so much engrossed in his conversation that he did not even realize what was going on just a few feet away.
"Shh..." Dewey whispered dismissly, "It will be alright. Uncle Donald is going to work in few hours, and Mom and Daisy aren't home. Just stay a little longer."
The female duck nodded. "Oh okay, I'm so sorry about this. It's just that I got kicked out of the dorm, I already lost the apartment at the MoonBeam...Jeff and Dad are out of town...And..."
"Shh..." Dewey said again. "It's okay Ash."
He kissed her gently on the cheek.
Ash smiled weakly.
"I'll be right back," Dewey informed.
Ashley nodded.
After Dewey left, Ashley took out a laptop she had under Dewey's bed. She wrote down a quick entry before putting it back away.
"Hey-a Gos," Launchpad said.
"Hey," Gosalyn said back.
"Can't sleep or waiting for us?" Launchpad asked.
"A little of both, where's Dad?"
"Downstairs on the couch. Busy night."
Gosalyn nodded. "Okay Hey, Launchpad?"
"Yeah Gos?"
"I'm going to miss you when you move next week."
"I'm going to miss you too. But we are not moving that far away. I'm still going to be your dad's sidekick."
Gosalyn nodded. "But it won't be the same thing."
"Of course it won't. You know I love Bella and Melanie so very much."
"Of course, I have come a bit fond of them too."
Launchpad grinned. "You know, I thought about staying here with you all. But the house is crowed enough without adding three more of us. Though, Melanie, Ronnie, and Lisa seem to get along very well."
Gosalyn laughed. "Yeah. In a way they're kinda cousins, you know."
Launchpad nodded. "Well, I need some sleep before breakfast. And I think you better go to bed too. Give your eyes some rest from that monitor."
Gosalyn blushed.
"I can barely bear being away from him for one minute."
Launchpad nodded and crossed his arms.
"I know. But you better be careful, and he better be treating you right...or he will have to answer to me."
Gosalyn giggled. "I know. But you don't have to worry. Goodnight whatever..."
"Goodnight."
