"Looks like it's the end of the line for you, Darkwing Duck!" Steelbeak smirked in satisfaction as he was about to finish off the caped crime-fighter once and for all! Darkwing Duck still struggled against the sticky bubble gum that prevented his feet from escaping.

Gosalyn, along with the other children, watched in sheer horror from the window of the hospital playroom helplessly. Although she was healthy enough to be in the playroom, the little red-haired girl still hadn't heard back from the doctors about her being well enough to leave the hospital. What could she do to help her father?

"Oh, Launchpad," she cried, as she turned to the tall pilot duck. "what are we going to do? Darkwing Duck is doomed!"

"I don't know, Gosalyn." Launchpad replied. "I wish I knew." This made Gosalyn scowl at him. Of course, what kind of sidekick would give up on a trusty hero? Darkwing Duck always counted on Launchpad whenever he needed him and how could he let him down? "Launchpad, you need to go to Darkwing!" the red-haired girl told him. "He needs your help! You're his sidekick, and you must help him!"

"You're right Gosalyn," Launchpad replied. "DW needs me, and I am going to help him!" But then he reconsidered for a minute; after all, he was supposed to take care of Gosalyn for Drake Mallard. "But who will look after you?"

"Don't worry about me, the doctors and nurses are here taking care of me, remember?" She said, reassuringly as Nurse Quackenridge was standing right beside her.

"She's right, Launchpad." Scrooge added, as he placed a hand on the pilot's shoulder. "The lass'll be all right for now. We'll look after her as well." With that, Launchpad turned to Nurse Quackenridge and told her that he would be right back before leaving.

The little girl fox, Julie, with her teddy bear in her arms, was watching out the window as the battle was raging on while Nurse Quackenridge sat next to her. "Julie has had a head injury, Gosalyn." The nurse explained to the red-haired duckling girl. "She fell from the jungle gym at the playground. Fortunately, she survived the fall."

"Oh, so that explains the bandage around her head." said Gosalyn with curiosity. "I don't mean to be nosy about that, Julie."

"Oh, it's okay, Gosalyn." Julie replied politely. "It doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I don't mind people asking me about it at all." Meanwhile, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby and Honker were watching the battle between Darkwing Duck and Steelbeak as well.

"Look!" Honker pointed out as he spotted a familiar aircraft which resembled Darkwing Duck's head. "It's the Thunderquack!"

"Could it be?" Gosalyn's eyes lit up with hope as she raced over to her best friend's side and leaned over the window to get a better look. "Yes, it is Launchpad!"

====OoooOoooooo===

From the children's point of view, the Thunderquack flew over to Darkwing Duck's aide in the nick of time.

"DW! Up here!" Launchpad cried, as he threw down a magnifying glass over to Darkwing to catch in his hands. Quickly, the masked mallard caught the object in time and then he focused the magnifying glass at the hot, blazing sun. At the same time, the pink sticky substance which was holding him was beginning to melt, releasing the caped crime-fighter. "YES!" Darkwing cried triumphantly, as he sprung up on his feet. He was free! "Ready or not, Steelbeak, here I come!"

"All right, way to go!" Gosalyn cheered, watching from the hospital window. "Teach Mr. Iron Breath a lesson!"

"Go get him, Mr. Darkwing!" Julie cried out. "you can do it!"

Meanwhile, Steelbeak was too busy talking to High Command of F.O.W.L. to notice the punching and kicking or the fight between a certain costumed clown and his F.O.W.L. Eggmen.

"Looks like St. Canard'll become F.O.W.L.'s personal playground from now on." Steelbeak chuckled smugly, before a cloud of blue smoke came fogging in.

"I AM THE TERROR THAT FLAPS IN THE NIGHT!" a mysterious voice boomed beneath the smoke. "I AM THE MEDICATION THAT YOU FORGOT TO TAKE THIS MORNING...I AM DARKWING DUCK!" The purple-clad crime-fighter finished as the blue smoke finally subsided, and he was pointing his trademark gas gun at Steelbeak.

"Now Steelbeak." he announced. "Surrender now and come along peacefully or prepare to suck gas!"

"Oh, please," Steelbeak laughed in a smug manner. "Why would I surrender to a clown like you, Darkwing Doofus?"

"Very well, prepare to suck gas, evil-doer!" Darkwing Duck pulled the trigger, and let out a thick, purple cloud of gas, causing Steelbeak to choke, gag and cough.

"You can beat him, Darkwing!" Gosalyn cried, with her fist in the air with excitement as she was watching the epic fight between Darkwing and Steelbeak.

"Knock out that bad man!" Julie cried as Cody, Honker, Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby joined them by the hospital window.

"Aye, lads and lasses," said Scrooge McDuck as he walked over to the window. "What seems to be going on down there?"

"Look down there, Unca Scrooge!" Huey explained.

"Darkwing Duck is winning!" Dewey cried eagerly.

"I knew he could pull through!" Webby smiled in delight as she watched as Darkwing Duck finished Steelbeak off with his double-footed web kick, knocking the suave villain out for the count and handcuffed him to the lamp post, leaving the St. Canard police to deal with him and his FOWL Eggmen.

Darkwing Duck heard police sirens in the distance, and he knew that if was his cue to leave, so he threw a pair of smoke bombs on the ground and disappeared.

Meanwhile, after Honker had gone home for the day and Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby and Scrooge McDuck had gone back to Duckburg, Drake and Launchpad returned to the hospital to see his daughter in the playroom. She was playing with the other children as soon as Nurse Quackenridge arrived at the door. "Good news, Mr. Mallard!" she announced happily with the paperwork in her hands. "Your daughter is well enough to leave the hospital. You may take her home now."

Upon hearing that, Gosalyn turned her attention to her new-found friends with a sad expression. "I guess I will miss you, Cody." She said gloomily. "And you too, Julie,"

"Goodbyes aren't always forever, Gosalyn," the rabbit boy assured her. "I'm going to be in St. Canard Elementary School, starting next month. There's no reason to be sad."

"You can still come see me in the hospital, Gosalyn." The little fox girl told her. "Meeting you was the best thing ever in my life. I was scared of being in the hospital before you came along, but now I'm not so scared anymore." She gave the red-haired girl a hug.

"Come on, Gosalyn. It's time to go home, dear!" Drake called her.

"Good-bye, everyone." Gosalyn waved goodbye to the children at the hospital playroom as she followed her father downstairs back to her hospital room to change into her daytime clothes. Nurse Quackenridge patted the little girl on the head as she told her, "You were one of my best little patients, Gosalyn. I am sad to see you go, and I will miss you, sweetheart."

-====Oooo=====

A few days later, Gosalyn returned to school and she was better than ever! Of course, during show and tell, she even bragged to her classmates about having her tonsils removed and that she got to have all of the ice cream she could possibly eat. "And to prove it," she announced proudly, as she reached into a big, brown, paper bag and pulled out a small jar which held her tonsils which had been removed. "They even gave me a jar of these gross-looking tonsils! Check them out!" Some of her classmates cringed as they were grossed out by the sight of the red, swollen and white-spotted tonsils. The red-haired girl then put the jar back in the bag as soon as the recess bell rang.

THE END

A/N: So sorry for the delay! I kinda got sidetracked! Well, better late than never! So sorry if the last paragraph was short.
