New story, alright! I know I said this was gonna be featuring Jamie, but unfortunately, that story is taking longer than I expected so y'all are gonna have to settle with this. Oh well. Don't fret though! This story is plenty good! It has a character that isn't present a whole lot in the show, but I'm certain you guys are very familiar with him.

The New Friend

It's Friday, a nice Friday. It's two in the afternoon and the sky is an ideal blue. The sort of clear clean blue you only see in the movies.

It seems that this summer is going to be one of the better ones.

School has ended; most of the students and the faculty have left leaving the building eerily empty.

The door at the main entrance opens. Gumball exits and hops down the steps gleeful to start his weekend.

"Wait!"

Just as Gumball landed on the final step, someone barges and slams wide open the door.

Gumball doesn't recognize this person, this person who is now walking down the steps towards him. He seen him before but he can't put his finger on it. Has Gumball seen him in the halls? During Lunch? After school maybe?

The dog twiddled his fingers.

"Hi! Uh, hi." Said the dog.

"Do I know you?" Asked Gumball.

"Uhh. Yeah. I-I know your brother, we're both on the swim team."

Gumball thought this over for a moment. "Oh yeah. Yeah, I know you."

"Right! Good."

"…"

"…"

"Well…?"

"Oh, yeah! Well…" The dog coughs into his hand. "I ju-"

"Darwin's sick." Interrupted Gumball. "That's why he wasn't here today."

"Oh, ok." Said the dog. "I wanted to ask you something else."

"Alright, was is it?" Said Gumball warily. Am I gonna do some big favor for him? He thought.

"Well, this is kind of sudden, but do you want to go on a date with me?"

"I'm sorry what?"

"Yeah, I know, but I just thought you were pretty cool since, since you came to the club, and I'd like to get to know you and get together with you and stuff."

"Uhh, I'm already dating someone."

"O-oh…"

"With Penny."

"A girl?"

"Are you really surprised? It's not like I kept it a secret or anything. Everybody knows."

"I guess I'm just out of the loop." The dog looks down at his feet. "S-sorry, I don't know a lot what happens in this school. Like, except for the swim club, it's usually just me."

"…so, are you really…" Gumball didn't know how to phrase this. "…like guys?"

"Well, I like you?" He said it in a way that felt like he shouldn't be saying that. "So yeah. I think you might be the only one who knows."

"I'm sorry." Continued the dog. "I made this awkward. I'm awkward."

"No, it's alright. Don't beat yourself up over it." Gumball walks a bit closer to the dog. "I am pretty hot, you can't help yourself, I get it."

The dog notices Gumball getting closer. Closer.

The dog gave Gumball a quick peck on the cheek. The dog reels back, covers his mouth and blushes furiously.

"Oh geez! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" The dog repeated over and over again. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Calm down man, calm down!"

"I didn't mean to I don't know why I did it I'm so sorry!"

Gumball takes ahold him, grabs him by the shoulder and gave him a big smooch on the cheek.

That shut him up.

Gumball speaks first.

"Do you wanna…go see a movie? As friends?

The blush, still present on his face. He looks at Gumball with blank eyes and an open mouth. His eyes lights up and he smiles.

"Yes."

They held hands all the way downtown.

Join us next time where I'll definitely have that Jamie story done.

Or something else entirely. Could go either way.
