Chapter One: The Arrival

Nicole was sitting on the couch channel surfing on the tv. She had been basically been walking around cleaning up all day. She didn't mind that at all. She just was a bit tired.

"Nicole, you seem worried. What's wrong?" Richard said

"Oh, nothing Richard. I'm just a bit tired." Nicole said

"Good! Now I can take a bath in grape soda." Richard said

"Wait-" Nicole said but her voice was cut off when she heard a door closed

"Great." Nicole said "Now, I have to go clean up that."

Nicole sat there with the remote in her hand. The tv was on this weird japanese channel. She didn't feel rushed. That's what being a mother is, right? She had conflicted feelings as she would say at the moment.

"Uh...mom." Anais said as she walked in the room

"Let me guess. Dad bathed in grape soda again and it overflowed?" Nicole asked

"Yeah and Gumball said that he needs you." Anais said

She was stressed out at this point. As a mother, at least, there are times when you feel stressed. There are times where you love your family, and there are times where you have to show your kids right from wrong. It's all about learning. Even as a mother you still have to learn.

Nicole walked up the stairs and went down the hallway to Gumball's room. When she was finally there she knocked on his door. No response. She knocked again...no response again. She sighed. Nicole knocked one more time, and yet again Gumball didn't respond.

"I'm guessing he's having another annoying Nightmare.." Nicole muttered to herself "Well, then let's get this going. Here's a quicker way to get things done. Gumball, where are you!" Nicole shouted

"Mom, I'm right behind you." Gumball said

"You've got to be kidding me." Nicole said to herself

"Uh...mom...is there a problem?" Gumball said hesitantly

"No sweetie, no problem here." Nicole said "Now, Anais said you needed me, what's the problem?"

"Well, I'm having trouble with this problem. Can you help me?" Gumball said

"Sure, what is it?" Nicole asked

"The problem is there are 11 kids in a household. If each kid eats ½ of a box of cereal every day. How many boxes of cereal do they eat in 1 week?" Gumball said

"They eat 38.5 boxes of cereal every week." Nicole said

"Wow, that's a lot. Thanks, mom!" Gumball said as he ran back into his room and closed the door

"Well, now I can get back to relaxing.." Nicole said as she headed downstairs

The first thing that Nicole saw when she walked back downstairs was Richard sitting on the couch, his skin purple, and a towel over his groin and legs.

"Really, with purple skin." Nicole said facepalming

"Well my door was locked." Richard said "But you can sit down."

Richard patted the spot next to him and Nicole sat down. It was on Channel 8. The channel that showed 24/7 news

"I didn't know that you watched the news." Nicole said

"Oh. That's what this is." Richard said as Nicole let out a small sigh.

"Ugh." Nicole said

In a limo a short distance from the Watterson's house lies two very important people. Rick Senicourt and Melissa Senicourt, Nicole's parents. These two people weren't very well known but both had good jobs. Rick was a doctor at the children's section of the hospital. Melissia was a lawyer. They both made $1000 per week meaning that each week they at least had $2000 they could spend.

"Driver are we there yet?" Rick said

"In about 3 minutes we will be there, sir." The Driver said

"That is perfect." Rick said

"Now, we can finally see our daughter after so many years." Melissia said

"This will be wonderful!" Rick said

After a while they arrived at Nicole's house and stepped out. They walked up the steps and knocked on the door.

Nicole opened the door and was shocked to see who was standing in front of her. The three of them would finally meet eyes after so many years at last.
