The Necklace

Chapter 1: Nicole's Rage.

Hai :D. Well, this is my first TAWoG fanfic. I'll try my best on this one. I've became quite fond of the show ever since it was aired on CN. Anyways, the characters are not owned by me. Let us begin, shall we?

In the Watterson household…

Gumball and his best friend/brother Darwin were playing a video game on the couch; while their younger sister Anais read her book for the school report that all students must be required to do. That was something Gumball and Darwin should have been doing.

The boys were pressing the buttons on their controllers so fast, their fingers looked like they were gonna get caught on fire.

"AW DUDE! GET THAT POWER-UP!" Gumball shouted.

"WHY? YOU'RE MUCH CLOSER TO IT!" Darwin replied

"BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE LIVES THAN ME!" Gumball shouted louder.

Anais rolled her eyes, feeling annoyed about her brother's volume. "Can you lower your voices? I'm trying to read here!" she demanded only for Gumball and Darwin to ignore her wish.

Anais sighed and tried to read while ignoring them.

Suddenly, the door busted open leaving the three siblings shocked. Their mother, Nicole stormed in...and she was not looking very happy.. Nicole tried to calm herself on whatever was upsetting her by breathing in and out. Then she finally joined her children on the couch. Darwin paused the game because well...Gumball wouldn't have, even if it for stopping to check on his mother.

"Aw dude!" Gumball complained until Darwin cut him off with a slap. "Ow!"

"Are you okay, Mrs. Mum?..." Darwin calmly asked.

"I AM PERFECTLY OKAY!" Nicole snapped. Then after realizing what she said, she calmed down immediately.

"I'm sorry, Darwin..I just had a rough day…or..will have a rough night.." Nicole admitted.

"What do you mean by that?" her daughter, Anais asked.

"Well sweetie, today is me and your father's wedding anniversary." Nicole informed.

"WAIT! It is?" Gumball asked clueless receiving a glare from Nicole, Anais, and Darwin who already knew. Gumball decided to shut up about it.

"Yes Gumball…" Nicole sighed. "Any who, every year your father tends to..forget our special day."

"Are you serious?!" Anais asked.

"Well honey..its like this. I come home from work only to see your father eating or sleeping. Then I asked him "Richard, what day is it today?" Then he'll try to think for a while. After a while, he gives up then I tell him that its our anniversary. He starts panicking, then he runs upstairs to stick a used bow on the cuckoo clock that my mother gave me. Then he runs back down, giving me the clock, claiming that its new…" Nicole explained.

"Then what?" Darwin asked.

"Well I just play along and let it slide, then I give him his present…"Nicole said.

"I see…" Anais said while comforting her mother.

"Just watch and see for yourself, kids…" the blue cat whispered sadly.

Richard came into the room where his family was; he humming a song while eating a plate full of sausages.

"Hey guys, what's up?" the pink rabbit asked.

"Um..Richard...do you know what day it is?" Nicole asked knowing what's gonna happen.

Richard went into his thinking state. "Hmmmmmmmmmm…"

After five minutes, his brain was already friend.

"GAHHHHH, I DON'T KNOW! THIS IS THE LONGEST AMOUNT OF THINKING I'VE DONE! MAKE IT STOP!" Richard shouted.

"Fine Richard…" Nicole whispered quietly. "Its our wedding anniversary…"

Richard's eyes and jaw widened and his nose was twitching. He suddenly started to go berserk.

"NO WAIT! I GOT SOMETHING! BE RIGHT BACK!" he panicked while running upstairs to his room.

"Wait for it…" Nicole said to her family.

Richard ran down with the cuckoo clock decorated with the used up stick-on bow. He panted after all that running. Then he gave his wife the clock.

"Happy Anniversary, Honey!" he proclaimed. "I got you a brand new clock , what do ya think? It cost me so much." Richard said.

Nicole tried to keep a calm look on her face. Her eyes started to twitch, while Richard kept going on about how he got that gift. Nicole finally needed to let her husband know..how she really felt.

"Richard James Watterson…..I know your whole secret...ever since our first anniversary..and its getting old." she whispered making Richard jump a little.

"Nicole?.." he spoke her name in a worried tone.

"Don't you Nicole me….all these years...I let it all slip then I gave you your present..but now that's all gonna change.." she whispered more.

"W-what?" Richard stuttered after a huge gulp. "What are you saying?" he asked.

"I'm saying..that I AM SICK OF YOU CONSTANTLY FORGETTING OUR ANNIVERSARY!" Nicole shouted from the top of her lungs, Then after all that's said she stormed off upstairs to her room.

"So does this mean I don't get my present?" Richard asked insensitively only for Nicole to chuck a blanket and a pillow at him from upstairs.

"Hope you like sleeping with the couch! You always remember TO SIT ON IT!" Nicole screamed before slamming the door in her room.

"What just happened?" Richard asked causing Anais to facepalm.

"Are you THAT dense?!" Anais snapped.

"Hmm well let's see...your grandmother always told me-" Richard started to say.

"MR. DAD SHE'S UPSET BECAUSE YOU FORGOT ABOUT HER ANNIVERSARY AGAIN!" Darwin shouted leaving Richard to feel very ashamed.

To be continued….
