Gumball is Back on the Market

Chp. 1 The Ghost that got the ball rolling

Ten years had passed in the town of Elmore, so many things had changed over the years. Friends, loved ones and family, several stayed and some left. Yet the town still stood tall, not that anyone knew how with all the disasters that the town suffered. But still Elmore remained the same, but not all it inhabitants did!

Gumball stood reaching his arms to the sky making his back give a resounding crack. Covered in grease, scratches and bruises he didn't even remember getting he smiled. It took a little bit longer than scheduled and more money than he originally planned. But there the old Chevy impala stood in all her beauty, shiny as the day she was made and purred like a kitten. Gumball laughed he was definitely going to make a good bit of money back selling it.

He took a second to look around his little mechanic shop and smiled. His shop. Every time he looked around at his own little paradise he had to smile. It had taken several years and hard work and now he was the sole owner of Gumball's Motor Repair. His mom had worried when he forgone college to seek out training as a mechanic. Still using the money that his mom had saved for his tuition and the money he saved doing odd jobs had paid off. He could still remember when he decided this was the life for him, Gumball had always been good at taking things apart and then putting them together into some strange if not dangerous contraption. All he needed was a little bit of knowledge and some help and with this new knowledge he soon found himself truly enjoying the feel of a wrench and the swell of pride when he fixed someone's problem.

His first experience was with Mr. Robinson was a surprisingly good and fun time. When his family had helped destroy one of Mr. Robinson's new cars he felt extremely guilty for the old man. So with many, many, many attempts of convincing the angry puppet man to let him help he finally got his wish.

So for the next several weeks Gumball would spend his weekends in Mr. Robinson's garage tinkering away at the mess of a car. The old man actually started to enjoy Gumball's company they even kinda bounded over the hood of a car. It was when the car was done and looking brand knew that Gumball got to see a real smile on the constantly angry man's face.

That was the day he decided this is what he wanted to do and what surprised everyone the most was that he stuck with it. Any time someone had car problems he had no problem giving a hand or offering advice. The rest of his high school years mostly involved him running around learning everything he could. It definitely paid off, when he first opened his shop many people from town showed up to support all offering oil changes and tire alignments.

It wasn't only the love of the job he liked though, the job was tough and highly physical. The constant moving off parts and having to fight stubborn bolts had help his body stay fit. He didn't have huge muscles like some of his friends but he was solid and define. He actually had the abs he always wanted as a kid. Well that part was more due to his mom convincing him he could be a real stud if he just put some time in the gym. Not a lot just enough to help him cut some of the extra fat.

He sighed as he washed his hands scrubbing the grease out from under his fingernails. Patting the top of the car he spoke "Well old girl I've already got a buyer for you. By next week you will be on the open road were you belong." Taking the time to glance at the clock on the wall he smiled. "Whelp its closing time boys and girls. Try to not make a mess." chuckling to himself he preceded to shut up shop. It had been a long day and he was ready to go home and relax.

His home was nice sized condo that he just paid off. It wasn't big with only being a two bedroom but it was cozy. Surprisingly with the mess his shop was always in Gumball found himself being a neat freak in his own home. He just like coming home to a nice clean living space, after working all day in a greasy shop. Walking in he removed his dirty shirt throwing it in one of the two hampers near the wall. He learned long ago to not mix his greasy clothes with his normal day ones.

Relaxing at the feel of just being home he proceed into the kitchen to start preparing his dinner for the night, but before he could get started he was interrupted by a load knock on his front door. His brow bunched in confusion, who could be at his condo at this time of night? Well there is only one way to find not bothering to put on a shirt, who ever was here at this time would just have to deal. He opened the door.

Gumball's eyebrows shot up in surprise at his visitor, on his front steep was the spectral beauty Carrie Krueger. The years had been amazingly kind to Carrie, she had always been pretty but a few years down the road she fully grew into her self. Now instead of the tiny form she once had her body and grown and length and bust. She was a knockout and she knew it.

Gumball pulled up his gaze from Carrie's new voluptuous form only to see her starring at his exposed chest. Laughing nervously he asked "What can I do for you Carrie, it's always good to have friends over. Though its kinda late you know?"

Carrie blinked shaking herself and smiled a very evil smile. "Aren't you going to let me in Gumball?" Gumball took a second to glance behind him at his home and sighed. It wasn't like he could keep Carrie out if she really wanted in.

"Sure Carrie come in, make yourself at home and then tell me why your here." Carrie didn't speak just glided into the room and sat or um float on the chair. Gumball narrowed his eyes in suspension only too shake his head a moment later. There really wasn't a point in trying to tell Carrie to do anything she was very strong willed. A trait he admired in fact, even though it could be very annoying at times.

Deciding he might as well continue preparing his dinner he headed toward his kitchen. Only to be stopped by Carrie's voice "So tell me Gumball its been what? Three years since Penny went to Germany for her degree?" Gumball waited to feel his heart sink at hearing is exlove's name, but it didn't come. Yes him and Penny had separated but it had been on good terms. They both just had different paths planned. He was set on being a mechanic and Penny wanted to get her medical degree at one of the best universities there was. It just happens to be in another country.

Sure they tried long distance but with his job and her massive schedule of classes it just seemed better to end it. He spoke, "Yeah its been about three years. Why are you here asking that at this hour Carrie?"

Gumball felt like an ice cube had ran down his back at the sultry stare Carrie gave him. She smiled floating away from the chair getting nearer to Gumball. It was when she was mere inches away from his face when she spoke again. "I'm here because a hot, kind, strong, dependable, handsome blue cat. Has yet to put himself back on the market and you know what I'm going to do about it?"

Gumball could barely breathe with how close Carrie was to him. He could even feel the warmth of her breath on his lips and catch the sweet scent of her perfume. Nearly stuttering he barely squeaked out, "What are you going to do?"

Carrie's eyes shined with the evil thoughts she had running through her mind. She inched ever closer to where there was barely any space between their lips and whispered, "Why be the first girls to sample the wares of course." Before Gumball could even process her words he found her lips slammed into his own. The only thought he had was he had know idea what was happening or what the repercussions of this might be.

Feeling her soft warm body pressed against his and her mouth on him. He didn't know if he really cared.
