A/N: Short introduction chapter to introduce my new OC who will be featured in my newest Gumball fan fiction submission. I only own OC's and everyone else belongs to Ben Bouqlet and Cartoon Network. I hope you enjoy it so far. Read & Review, but please don't be harsh with critique!


"Well, Denny, this is our new home." Mr. Bonchaz said to his daughter, he was a gerbil with brown hair and wore an orange sweater with green diamond patterns, brown pants and lighter brown shoes and had a long tail which made him seem like a rat, but he had small ears.

His daughter came out, she had long-ish black hair with a cream yellow shirt with a white collar and fringe with buttons, a navy blue skirt, white long socks, and black and white Mary Janes. "Nice place..." she smiled a little. "But... It's not like home..."

"Oh, honey, I know you miss our old town, but this will be fine," Mr. Bonchaz soothed. "Besides, you know I have to work at the Rainbow Factory now. It's time we see new sights anyway and meet new people, don't you think? Just think of your eight brothers and sisters in college, they're trying new experiences right now and you can too in this town of Elmore."

"Mmm..." Denny scratched her furry chin. "Yeah, Dad, I guess you're right."

"Of course I am," Denny's father smiled with a chuckle.

"Hello?" a blue cat woman walked over with a smile as she held a plate with a slobbering pink rabbit next to her who looked hungry for the gelatin on the cat's plate. "You must be our new neighbors, the Bonchaz's."

"That would be me," Mr. Bonchaz replied with a smile. "My name's Arthur Johnathon Bonchaz, and this is my daughter, Denise... Denny for short."

"Sup?" Denny put a hand up.

"Nice to meet you, Denny," the blue cat smiled. "I'm Nicole Watterson and this is my husband-Richard, stop drooling, that's bad manners!"

Richard moaned, really wanting the dessert.

"I hope you can accept this gelatin," Nicole handed the plate over. "My mother always did it for new neighbors and I thought it'd be nice."

"Oh, thank you, Nicole," Arthur took it with a smile. "I'm sure Denny and I will enjoy it," he then looked down to see the rainbow pin on her shirt. "Oh, you work in the Rainbow Factory?"

"Why, yes, I do," Nicole replied with a smile. "You must be one of the new rookies coming in next week?"

"That would be me," Arthur smiled, then looked to her husband. "And what do you do for a living, Richard?"

"I actually work at home..." Richard replied calmly. "You should work at home too! Maybe your wife could work for you!"

"My wife is no longer with us." Arthur admitted.

"Oh, I'm we're so sorry..." Nicole put a paw to her face sadly. "How long has she been dead?"

"Oh, Zelda isn't dead," Arthur replied. "We just separated shortly after Denny was born..."

"I only see her like once a year..." Denny added, shuffling the sidewalk with her foot.

"Oh, sorry to hear that, dear, I'm sure you'll love it here though," Nicole gently patted Denny on the head. "That's a good little squirrel..."

"I'm a gerbil." Denny corrected.

"I thought you guys were a couple of ferrets!" Richard blurted out.

Arthur chuckled. "We get that a lot actually..."

Denny sighed, she was a little bored with talking.

Nicole saw this and overheard her own children playing and she smiled. "Listen, why doesn't Denny go to our backyard while we talk and help you unpack? I'm sure my children would love to meet her."

"You have kids?" Denny asked, excitedly.

"Uh-huh, Gumball, Darwin, and Anais, why don't you go see them?" Nicole suggested.

"Go ahead, hon..." Arthur encouraged his daughter to be social in their new environment.

Denny smiled and raced to the Watterson backyard.

Nicole chuckled. "Ah, kids... Hopefully Gumball won't give her too much trouble."

Arthur raised an eyebrow. "Gumball is a troublemaker?"

"Oh, yes, but he's harmless compared to others, I'm sure Anais will keep things under control." Nicole shrugged with a smile. "Now, Arthur, let's get you settled..."


"It's time to play..." a goldfish with green sneakers said.

"DODGE OR DARE!" a blue cat boy with a sweater and jeans finished.

There was a pink bunny girl in an orange dress who looked disinterested as she was reading a book.

"Roll the dice!" the goldfish and cat said together. "Pick a-"

The goldfish looked distracted.

The blue cat looked at him. "Are you okay, buddy?"

"A rat!" the goldfish cried, making the blue cat turn and look at Denny.

The blue cat screamed in response.

Denny blinked. Was this some kind of game? "Umm... Hi..." she said softly, coming forward toward them.

The cat and fish blinked to her.

"It talked..." the cat whispered.

"We can't trust a rat..." the goldfish whispered back.

"Hey, I'm not a rat," Denny spoke up, which got the pink rabbit's attention. "Let's start this over... I'm Denny, I'm new in town."

The cat and fish blinked, so did the pink bunny now with them. Denny could see that the cat and bunny were obviously Richard and Nicole's children. Was the goldfish maybe adopted?

"Nice to meet you," the blue cat decided to be friendly. "We're the Wattersons."

'Is she a mouse or a chipmunk or what?' the pink bunny thought to herself.

"What are your names?" Denny asked with a smile.

"My name's Gumball," the blue cat introduced. "And this is Darwin..."

"Hello!" the goldfish waved.

"And this is Anais." Gumball gestured to the pink bunny.

Anais blinked, but smiled. "Greetings and salutations to the neighborhood."

Denny smiled. "Quite an impressive vocabulary you got there, kiddo."

"I'm four, but I'm a child genius," Anais kind of boasted. "Where are you gonna go to school?"

"Elmore Junior High."

"Great, we'll be there!" Gumball beamed. "It'll be awesome, we'll show you all our friends!"

"And enemies, like Tina, Jamie, or Miss Simian." Darwin whispered.

"Cool!" Denny sounded excited.

"Denny, come back, it's time to get your room together!" Arthur called.

"Aw... Okay..." Denny groaned, then turned to her new friends. "Well, see you guys later... At least we live next door to each other!"

"Bye, Denny!" Gumball, Darwin, and Anais waved to her as Nicole and Richard returned.

Darwin looked over to his brother and sister. "Is she a monkey?"

"No, Darwin, she's obviously a beaver." Anais retorted.

"I thought she was some kind of coyote," Gumball shrugged. "Oh, well... We have plenty of time to find out whatever she is..."


That night, Denny was having dinner with her father.

"So, Denny, do you think you'll enjoy Elmore?" Arthur asked his daughter.

"Yeah, Dad, I think it's gonna be just fine." Denny smiled as she ate her cheese based dinner.

Denny just wondered what sort of amazing adventures she would have in this town called Elmore.
