Chapter 1: The girl under the blossom
It all started on a one sunny day; Gumball holds his digital Camera in his hands tightly, scanning his surroundings to get a good shot of whatever he could find interesting.
Though for someone who doesn't know him, it might be a little strange to see a person in a hospital gown walking around with his camera.
He's been in that hospital for a while now, rehabilitating after an accident that almost took his life, and put him in a coma for over a year.
What that accident might be, still remained as a vague memory; he remembered drowning, and then nothing.
The camera made a clicking sound once more, and a beautiful scenery of cherry blossom tree appeared at the screen.
This was the form of rehabilitation that the doctor suggested his family, since photography is Gumball's hobby.
He remembered his room being littered with the pictures that he had taken since when he was a young boy, and wondered if his parents still haven't removed them, even after a year of him being asleep in that hospital.
The wind blew on his face, and made him go back to what he was doing.
Gumball raised the camera onto his eyes, and was prepared to take another shot on the scenery, until he noticed something different.
There was a person standing by the trees, but isn't visible from the camera's current perspective.
Gumball moves closer to that person, but not too close enough that the person will instantly notice him being there.
He zooms in on that person; the wind blew once more, causing the leaves from the cherry blossom tree to fall, as it glides around the girl.
Gumball noticed that the girl was wearing a hospital gown, he thought that it was a normal dress at first, since it was being blown to the side, causing the ribbon on its back to be barely visible.
While the girl's body being yellowish-orange, made him realize how extra-ordinary that view was, and he needed to take a shot of capturing it.
A clicking sound coming from the camera can be heard, it was rare for Gumball to take a photo of someone, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity of capturing the emotions being portrait by the girl.
There was a mix of happiness and sadness being emphasized, and the girl is the center of that photograph.
The sound was enough for the girl to noticed him, and the she quickly turned her attention to Gumball's camera.
"Did you just…?" The girl said.
Her face turns red, as if she didn't want to get photographed by someone she did not know.
"I-" Gumball said, but before he can even speak, the girl quickly ran away from him.
"think you're pretty…" he continued, but the girl was already too far, and his tone almost sounded like a whisper to even be heard from their distance.
"Weird," Gumball thought to himself; he was a regular there, and it was weird enough for him to be walking around, wearing a hospital gown, but seeing a girl, whom he doesn't recognize, and doing the same thing as he is doing, was much weirder than that.
"eh", Gumball didn't mind what just happened, thinking that he has at least gotten a good shot of that person.
Gumball took few more photographs around the hospital, before a nursed took him back inside.
While he was walking with the bandage nurse, he couldn't keep his curiosity away from that girl.
"So… is there a new patient getting a rehab here?" He asked.
"Huh?" The nurse replied, not knowing what Gumball was talking about.
"You know what? Never mind…" Gumball said, and the nursed shrugs it off, not thinking about any of it, since he still need to do a daily check-up on him.
The tests are just a normal thing for Gumball to do, things like eye test, blood test, and some other physical activities, to see if he's getting well.
A few moment's later, the nursed jotted down the results on her notebook; Gumball was unable to complete some of the physical activities.
He wasn't able to run, or walk normally without holding on something to balance himself.
"It's not today huh?" Gumball said.
The nursed tried to cheer him up by giving him a friendly hug, but it was way too friendly that it almost suffocated him.
"Gah, do you even want me to leave this hospital?" Gumball said, as he gasps for air.
She laughs it off, telling him to get some rest while she reports Gumball's status to the doctor.
Gumball went back to his room, passing by the other doctors, and nurses that were running around the hospital.
While on his way back, Gumball felt like someone is watching him from somewhere; he tried to play it cool, by pretending that he didn't noticed it
There girl from before is following him, but he didn't want to scare her away from him, so he plans to ambush her after turning to the corner.
It was time, and Gumball lured the girl to a secluded place where no one can see them.
Gumball quickly turned left even though it was hard for him to do that, but it was worth it.
The girl noticed it and quickly chased after him, but she didn't expect that Gumball was waiting for him to grab her.
"Boo" Gumball said, but as soon as he said that, his face went from being blue, to a hand shaped red.
The slap echoed through out the hall, but no one was there to see or even hear that sound.
Gumball quickly regretted his bad decision making, but there was nothing he can do now.
"No, please don't kill me" Gumball jokingly said.
"You idiot!" The girl immediately replied.
Gumball had no idea why, she slapped him or why was she following him in the first place.
"Uhmmm" Gumball didn't know what to say, but the girl quickly said.
"Give me the thingy" But that only made him more confused, since he didn't know what she was talking about.
Gumball fell on his knee, but he had another brilliant idea on his mind, he thought it might work "again".
"Look! What's that" Gumball pointed at the other direction, it made the girl look behind.
He crawled on all fours as fast as possible away from that crazy girl, but that only made her chased him more.
"Raaaaa" The girl shouted, as she runs towards Gumball, jumping on his back as if Gumball was a horse.
"Give it back, give it back, give it back" She said, while pounding on Gumball's back.
"No, not my back" Gumball said, as he fell like his back is getting crushed by a wrestler.
Footstep can be heard nearby, it was a familiar one; the same one as Gumball's nurse.
The nurse turned the corner, on where the incident is happening.
"Hello, I'm back-" The nursed said as she turns the corner, knowing that it was Gumball's voice that she's hearing.
"…" Everything went quiet, after the nurse arrived at the scene.
"Hiss~" The girl made a hissing sound and quickly run off.
"What was that…?" The nurse said.
"You tell me" Gumball added.
