Ch. 1 The Family Trip

It is always a sunny day in the small town of Elmore. The sun shining down and its' rays warm the streets. In a small blue house in a suburban neighborhood lived a peculiar family. I wouldn't call them your average normal type of family. This family was very strange indeed. Let us take a look into the life of a young boy who will surley have his normal life turned upside down.

"Hey Gumball." a voice said. Gumball turned from his desk and looked into the doorway. His little sister, Anais was standing there. "I have a question to ask of you." she said.

"Sure, what is it?" Gumball asked. Anais rubbed her arm. She seemed to hesitate on what she wanted to say.

"Well... I won't tell you unless you promise me to answer me truthfully." she said. Gumball smiled and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I promise." Gumball said. Anais looked relieved, then took a deep breath.

"Gumball... would you do anything to protect us?" she asked. Gumball was surprised.

"Why the sudden question?" Gumball obliviously asked. Anais shook her head with a sigh.

"Please big brother... I just want to know." Anais said. GUmball stood up proudly.

"Of course I would! I was there for you when we were getting Daisy back." Gumball said.

"I forced you to get her back." Anais said with a frown.

"Oh right." Gumball said.

"Anyway, Daisy isn't important. But I would you still be there for us?" she asked desperatly. Gumball put a hand to his chest.

"Of course." he smiled. Anais smiled and walked away. Gumball raised an eyebrow and turned to his friend, Darwin. "Hey Darwin... isn't Anais acting a bit weird lately?" Darwin looked from his book he was reading upside down. He thought about it.

"Not really." Darwin said with a shrug.

"Kids, come on down. It's family meeting time!" their mother called from downstairs. Gumball slumped.

"Not another one..." Gumball sighed.

"Aww, come on dude. It's not that bad." Darwin said.

"The last time we had one was a complete disaster." Gumball said.

"Gumball, Darwin! Come on down right now!" Their mother said.

The three Watterson siblings sat on the floor in front of the sofa. Sitting on the sofa were their parents, Nicole and Richard Watterson.

"Kids, your father and I have some news." Nicole said.

"Do I get my college degree?" Anais spoke up.

"Are we finally running a charity fund?" Darwin asked sparkly eyed.

"Do I finally get my pony?" Gumball asked hopefull. Anais and Darwin laughed at him. Nicole silenced them.

"None of those." Nicole said. "We are all invited toa special evening at the Elmore Museum. Apparently, an archeologist found an ancient Relic near the town. And the mayor invited everyone in Elmore to come see it." Darwin and Anais exchanged excited glances. Gumball looked in disbeliefe.

'WHAT! That is it? To go to a museum that the mayor himself is hosting, just to see some rock!" Gumball asked.

"Yes." Nicole said bluntly.

"Well count me out." Gumball said turning his back to them. Nicole put her hands on her hips and grumbled.

"Gumball, we are going to that museum event, whether you like it or not. And you are coming with us." Nicole said. Gumball thought on this. He gave a defeated sigh.

"Fine..." Gumball said. Nicole clapped her hands together and smiled.

"Wonderful! Now everyone in the ca-" she was cut off by Richard who had jumped up.

"SHOTGUN!" he shouted. He ran through the door, leaving a massive self print and then crashing through the car passenger window. He peekd out from it and looked both ways, as if someone was going to try and steal the seat from him. Nicole facepalmed.

The Wattersons arrived at the museum. They looked all around the place, admireing the exhibits. When Gumball and Darwin reached the dinosaur exhibit, they looked up at a massvie boney T-Rex.

"Reminds me of Tina." Darwin said with a chuckle.

"Tina should be proud that her ancestors are being displayed in honor of their prehistoric ways." Gumball said.

"I shouldn't..." a booming voice said. Their hearts stopped for a second. Turning, they looked up at the looming figure of Tina T-Rex .

"O-oh... hey Tina..." Gumball nervously greeted.

"My ancestors aren't being displayed in honor. They are here for people's entertainment. It's insulting..." Tina glumly said. Gumball felt bad for her.

"Well... err... gotta go!" Gumball said. The boys zipped off.

Gumball and Darwin stood next to their family. The crowd had gathered around a small container. It was covered by a red curtian. A man in a tuxedo stood up on stage and held a nicrophone.

"Attention ladies and gentlmen of Elmore!" he shouted into the mic. Gumball had to cover his ears from the screech. "The moment you all have been waiting for!" The curtian rose and there in the spotlight sat an old piece of yellow stone. It glowed in the light and the the strange symbols on it were glowing more then the body. The Relic sat on a small red pillow. Everyone oohed and aahed. Gumball wasn't however. He stared on at the Relic. It seemd to be... calling to him. He felt the room go cold. He shivered,

'Why am I cold?' he thought to himself. He looked back at the Relic and the chill came back. 'Wait... it's not cold... there is something strange about the Relic.' Gumball shrugged it off, but the chilll stayed there.

"Hey Gumball." a voice said. Gumball's heart rose when he recognized the voice. He turned, looking love struck. There stood the most beautiful creature to him. Penny Fitzgerald.

"H-hey Penny." Gumball stuttered. Penny was with her family. Her baby sister was crying because she wanted to go see the dinosaurs.

"Oh, don't mind them." Penny said with a smile. Gumball fidgeted.

"A-are you here to see the Relic?" Gubmall asked. Penny shook her head.

"No. I was dragged along to the museum." she said. Gumball was about to reply, but then he was hit with the chill again. He shivered and looked around. "Are... you okay?" Penny asked noticing.

"N-n-not quite. I think there is something wrong with the Relic. Something about it is giving me the chills. Litterly." Gumball said.

"Penny, time to go!" her mother called to her.

"Well, I gotta go. See you around Gumball." Penny said. She waved and walked away with her family. Gumball sighed.

"Kids, it is time to go now. We have been here long enough." Nicole said. The Wattersons packed themselves into the car and drove back home.

That night, Gumball couldn't sleep. The Relic kept appearing in his head.

'What is that piece of rock? I have a really weird feeling about it.' Gumball thought to himself. He then thought of Penny and him on a romantic picnic. Gumball smiled and soon fell asleep.

Why didn't anyone tell me that I accidently placed the first chapter of my second story to the first chapter of my first story? I want to know about these so I could fix them. I had to re write the whole chapter. Oh well. On to the rest.
