Hi guys! This is my first TAWoG fanfiction. The plot of the story was originally created by RocketShark216, and you can find his story on his profile. I will be using my OC, Jasper, in this story. Please leave a review telling me how to make this series better! This series takes place 3 years after the television series premiered, assuming that Gumball and Darwin were in the 6th grade when the show started.

It was a bright and sunny day in the city of Elmore. Today was Saturday, which meant that Gumball and Darwin were in their room, playing video games and watching TV. It was summer now, and the boys had graduated from 8th grade the year before. Now, they were heading off to high school with the rest of their classmates.

"Man, I don't want school to start back again!" whined Gumball, who knew that he and his brother would be starting high school in 2 days. "Relax, dude," Darwin comforted, "the year will be over before you know it!".

Gumball was taken aback by this. "What are you so enthusiastic about?" he questioned, "it's not like the teachers will be any nicer than they used to be".

Gumball said this with a smirk. He was thinking about all the times he had tormented their homeroom teacher, Miss Simian. (Suprisingly, she was their only teacher). Yep, those were the good old days.

But it wasn't like that anymore. Those so-called "good old days" were nothing but a distant memory now. All of their innocent classmates had turned into hormone-ridden, rumor-spreading bullies. It was kind of depressing, actually, watching your life-long friends, who were once carefree preschoolers, transition into such angsty demons. Speaking of demons, that reminded Gumball of the time when-

"Boys! Can you come downstairs for a minute?"

Gumball's thoughts were interrupted by their mother, who was screaming at them for no apparent reason.

"What did she say?" asked Darwin.

"She wants us to come downstairs" answered Gumball.

The brothers did as they were told to, and walked down the stairs into the living room, where their mother was eagerly waiting for them.

"Hey, mom. What's up?" asked Gumball, who was wondering what his mom was so excited about.

"I brought you both down here to tell you that your cousin, Jasper, will be moving in with us!" said Nicole, excitedly.

Gumball and Darwin gave their mother a confused look.

"Who's Jasper," Gumball asked, "and why is he moving in with us?"

"I didn't even know we had a cousin!" exclaimed Darwin.

"Your cousin is moving in with us because his house flooded..." answered Nicole.

"Fair enough, I guess. So, when is he coming?"

"Well, he's supposed to be here at 6 o'clock, and it's 6:05 PM right now, so-"

Nicole was abruptly cut off by a loud screech outside. Peeking through the living room window, the three family members could see a dull blue SUV pull into the driveway. Once it stopped, three similar looking cats jumped out and walked up the front steps. Gumball studied them for a minute.

There was a tall female cat with a shiny coat of red fur, who was standing next to a tall, dark blue cat that slightly resembled Gumball. They looked like a mother and father to someone. In front of them was a third cat, whose features were obscured by an oversized grey hoodie. Gumball could only make out a pair of scrawny lavender legs. The brothers watched as the family rang the doorbell, causing their mother to run over to the door.

Nicole swung the door open and heartily greeted the family. "Welcome to Elmore! It's so nice to see you guys!"
