Hello everyone out there this is my first story so try not to be butt heads about it. I do not own anyone from the show, but I do own Gumball's Jacket. XD

It was a cold winters day in Elmore city. It was the middle of winter and it had been snowing for the past two days. At the Watterson's house our favorite thirteen year old blue cat is just now waking up from his sleep.

Gumball was slowly waking slowly sat up on his bed and rubbed his eyes with his hands. After he finished rubbing his eyes he got up from his bed and walked up to his bedroom window.

"Great it's still snowing!" Gumball yelled in a happy voice.

Gumball always liked the winter season. He liked how the snow felt when it touch his fur. He turned away from the window to see if Darwin was awake yet. To his surprise, he saw that Darwin was not is his fish bowl.

"Hmmm that's weird he's usually never awake before me. I wonder why he woke up before me?" Gumball said to himself as he was thinking.

Then it hit him in the face like a brick wall. Because it has been snowing for the past two days it means that there would only be so much hot water to use to take a shower. Gumball ran out of his bedroom door and headed straight for the bathroom. He was about two feet from the bathroom door as it open up. Darwin stepped out of the bathroom door with a towel wrapped around his waist. Darwin saw Gumball and smiled at him.

"Hey Gumball you finally woke up." Darwin said in his happy go lucky voice.

Gumball stopped running when he saw Darwin come out of the bathroom. He looked at Darwin.

"Darwin did you use all the hot water?" Gumball asked hoping that there would be at least a little bit left for him to use.

"I think there is a little bit left." Darwin said as he walked to their bed room and closed the door.

"Great, thanks man." Gumball said as he ran into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

Gumball quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the shower. As he turned on the water he felt the the hot water hit his fur.

"Oh man this feels so go... ah,ah,ah cold, cold, cold!" Yelled Gumball.

Gumball jumped out of the shower and was shaking like a leaf. "Man that was cold as hell." Gumball said as he grabbed his towel from the shelf and wrapped it around his waist.

Gumball left the bathroom and walked into his room to get dressed for school. Today was the last day of school. After today, they would have the rest of the month off for Christmas break. After he finished getting dressed Gumball ran down the stairs to the living-room. When he got there he saw his dad sitting on the couch watching some kind of Christmas program on TV. Gumball just smiled and walked by him and went into the kitchen where he saw Darwin, Anais, and his mother. His mother was pouring herself some coffee. Since it was getting close to Christmas, she and the rest of the workers from The Rainbow Factory were given the rest of the month off. Which was good for her because she and Richard still needed to go to the store and buy the kids their Christmas gifts. Gumball walked up to the kitchen table and sat down in the chair. He picked up the box of cereal that his two sibling were eating and poured some of it into his bowl. After he did that he put the box down and looked at Darwin.

"Hey Darwin can you pass me the milk?" Gumball asked.

"Sure Gumball." Said Darwin as he passed the milk to Gumball.

"Thanks man." Gumball said as he picked up the milk and poured it into his bowl of cereal.

Gumball picked up his spoon and started eating his cereal.

"So are you kids excited about your last day of school?" Nicole asked as she took a sip of her coffee.

"I am! I can't wait to open presents on Christmas." Darwin said in a happy tone of voice.

"Me too! I can't wait till Santa comes and bring us are gifts. I hope I get that new Daisy the Donkey movie." Anais said.

"I'm sure you will. That is if you have been good all year." Nicole said teasing her daughter.

Anais stood up in the chair. "I have, really!" Anais shouted.

Nicole laughed a little bit and smiled as she walked up to her daughter. "I know sweety." Nicole said as she patted her daughter on the head.

Nicole turned her head to look at Gumball, who was still eating his cereal.

"So what about you Gumball, are you excited?" Nicole asked.

Gumball raised his head up. His mouth was completely full of cereal. He swallowed it all in one big glop. After he did that he open his mouth. "Well yeah I mean after today I don't have to see or listen to Miss Simian for the rest of the month and it's snowing outside." Gumball said as he put down his bowl and got down from his chair.

"I'm going to go brush my teeth." Gumball said as he walked out of the kitchen.

Nicole just smiled. She knew what Gumball meant, Miss Simian was the meanest teacher in all of Elmore city and for some reason she always picked on all the kids.

"You think if she hated kids that much she would quit her job." Nicole thought to her self.

Nicole picked up all the kids' bowls from the table, put them in the sink and started to wash them.

Gumball walked up the stairs and went to the bathroom to go brush his teeth. He grab his blue toothbrush, put some toothpaste on it and started brushing his teeth. While Gumball was brushing his teeth he was thinking of all the cool things him and his family were going to do this year for Christmas. When he was finished brushing his teeth he took a drink from a glass of water and rinsed his mouth for ten seconds and then he spat it out.

Gumball looked at the mirror and smiled. "Good. Nice and clean." Gumball said to himself.

As Gumball was leaving the bathroom an idea came to him.

"Hey maybe I should ask Penny if she would like to come over for Christmas." Gumball said to himself.

With that idea in mind and with a big smile on his face he ran down the stairs to the front door. He was about to open it and head straight for the bus stop, that was, until he heard his mother shout his name.

"Gumball Tristopher Watterson come here!" Nicole said as she was walking up to Gumball.

Gumball stopped in his tracks and turned to face his mother.

"Yeah mom what is it?" Asked Gumball as he was looking at his mother.

"Where are you going?" Asked Nicole.

"To the bus stop." Said Gumball.

"Not without your jacket you're not." Nicole said in a stern voice.

"Aw come on mom, do I have to?" Said Gumball as he pleaded with his mother.

"Yes Gumball, you need to wear your jacket, it is too cold outside for you not to wear it. You don't want to get sick, do you?" Nicole said in a motherly voice.

Gumball sighed. "No, of course not mom." Gumball said in a defeated voice.

"Good now go put on your jacket." Said Nicole.

Gumball just sighed again as he walked to the closet to get his jacket. He opened the closet door and found his jacket. It was a black jacket with blue edged cuffs, with blue edged collar, and had a blue metal zipper. To tell you the truth Gumball really liked this jacket. His mother gave him this jacket on his birthday. It used to belong to her when she was a kid, but since it was too small for her, she gave it to him.

Gumball took the jacket off the hanger and put it on. After he zipped it up, he walked up to his mother.

"Okay, can I go now?" Gumball asked in a hopeful voice.

"Yes, you can go now." Nicole said with a smile.

Gumball smiled and gave her a hug.

"I love you mom." Said Gumball.

"I love you to gummy-puss." Nicole said with a smile.

Gumball then let go of his mom and ran to the door and open it. "Come on Darwin. Come on Anais." Gumball shouted as he ran out the door.

"Wait for us!" Said Anais and Darwin at the same time as they ran out the door to catch up with their brother.

Nicole just chuckled at seeing her kids. Nicole turned around to look at Richard. "Okay Richard are you ready to go to the store and look for the kids' gifts?" Asked Nicole.

Richard turned around and smiled. "Yes dear." Said Richard.
