Chapter 1: Revalation:

Gumball's POV:

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Ugh...five more minutes," I say as I look for the snooze button on my alarm clock. "Gumball Tristopher Waterson you're going to be late for school again! Get down here!," shouts a very angry female voice from downstairs. I sigh and stand up, acciently hitting my head on the roof of the bunkbed."Ow! Today is not my day," I said as i rub my head. As you have already heard, my name is Gumball Tristopher Waterson. I'm a blue cat. I'm 12 years old and in the sixth grade. Yawn! "Morning dude!," says my younger brother Darwin cheerfully. He is an orange fish with legs, the only clothes he wears are shoes (pretty weird right). He was my pet goldfish, but one day when we went to sleep he somehow grew legs and a voicebox. "Morning Darwin," I say as I slowly get out of bed. He's two years younger than me. Darwin is always cheerful, it really confuses me at times. I take out some clothes from my closet, a tan sweater and blue corduroy pants without shoes or socks, my signature look. I walk downstairs to see my mom and my youngest sibling, Anais. My mom is a blue cat, just like me. She wears a white shirt and a gray skirt. She works at the rainbow factory in the city. Anais is a small pink rabbit, just like my dad. She's only seven but she's a born genius. She is way smarter than everyone else in the family. "Morning mom, morning Anais," I say still half-awake. "Good morning Gumball, what would you like for breakfast sweetie?" she says cheerfully. I sit down on a chair at the table and ask her if I can skip breakfast today because I'm not that hungry. "Sure sweetie," my mom says. I get my stuff for school and I walk towards the door. As I turn the doorknob to get out I hear someone snoring. I silently laugh and walk to the couch. I see my dad, Richard Waterson, snoring on the couch. He's a pink rabbit just like my sister Anais. He's a lazy, fat, food-loving, kucklehead. He never works because he is deathly afraid of jobs. I think back to when Principal Brown told him that he needed to get a job because we were a bad family. ( from "The Painting") He didn't stop screaming. Haha he's so loveable. I quietly walk out the door and head to the bus stop. I see a few of my classmates there. I walk over to talk to Tobias, Banana Joe, and Bobert. In a few minutes Darwin arrives at the bus stop. He sees Tobias' sister Rachael and walks over to her. I watch them for a bit to see how they interact. Darwin is all googly-eyed as he's talking to Rachael. Ever since the party at Rachael's house, those two have been pretty close. ' I bet they're gonna start dating soon,' I thought to myself. As I'm talking with my friends I see Penny talking with the girls. My heart skips a beat when I see her. My eyes turn into hearts and my breathing becomes abnormal. I walk over to her and try to talk to her," H- hi P-Penny..." She looks at me and smiles," Oh hey Gumball. Are you ok? You look nervous about something." I stutter trying to come up with a lie," Ummm...Nope I'm totally not nervous. Why would I be nervous with the girl I love? I mean...hey look the bus is here!," I swiftly run away, pick up my backpack and get onto the bus. Once one the bus, I sit down in the back and feel embarrassed that I can't control my feelings around Penny. I don't notice that the bus starts moving and I hear someone sit beside me. I turn my head to look beside me and I see Carrie, the emo ghost girl who is my best friend. "Hey Gumball," she says in her usual monotone voice. I don't look at her," Hey Carrie."

Carrie's POV:

' I wonder what's up with Gumball today... He looks pretty down.' I look around the bus and I see Penny and the other girls talking and laughing. I never liked Penny...Little Miss Perfect...I reall don't know what Gumball sees in her...She's a peanut with antlers. Nothing special. What does she have that I don't...I turn invisible and float over to them. "...so Gumball tried talking to me again. And he failed again," says Penny as the other girls and Leslie laugh at Gumball. "... wow what a loser," says Masami, the cloud girl. Her remark causes the group to laugh again. "... It's so fun to toil with his feelings and watch him embarress himself time after time...," Penny says. ' That little acorn is just toiling with Gumball?,' Carrie thinks to herself, feeling angrier and angrier the longer she listens to them. ' I'm gonna stop this...' Carrie floats to the middle of the group, still invisible and then turns visible. The girls and Leslie scream. Carrie looks at Penny angrily with her left eye. "I heard all that you guys said about Gumball," I say angrily. Penny stares back at me with the same angry look," What's it to you? You don't care for him. You're just an emo ghost." I float closer to Penny so that our faces are a few inches from each other. "Just because I'm a ghost doesn't mean I don't care for Gumball, and at least I care for him more than you do you stupid peanut," I say with a hint of demon in my voice. Penny just looks at me without flinching. "I'll be watching you Penny. You better stop messing with Gumball's feelings," I say as I float back to Gumball.

Author's POV:

As Carrie is walking back to her seat on the bus Penny stands up and shouts," Hey everyone! Carrie loves Gumball!." Gumball bolts his head up suddenly and looks at Carrie with a very surprised look. Everyone else in the bus is looking at Carrie and mumbling to each other. Even Rocky stopped the bus and looked back at the two. Carrie's whole body becomes so consumed in a mad blush that she becomes plain red. She stands up with tears in her eyes and teleports out of the bus. "Carrie wait!," Gumball shouts, but she has already left for home. Penny smirks and sits back down. Gumball looks at Penny and walks up to her in the middle of everyone. Gumball's eyes are the same color and design that his mother had when she crossed her "Limit". Everyone was quiet and staring at a Gumball that nobody has seen before. Gumball raised his hand and...

Dun Dun Dun! What will Gumball do? Penny just gave away Carrie's biggest and darkest secret. Haha I know that this is my first TAWoG fanfic, so I'm open for any reviews and tips you guys might have.
