The Amazing World of Darwin
Chapter 2
Darwin woke up. On the school blacktop. He saw Ocho, a weird looking spider dude, staring at him. "So, what's your answer? Do you wanna come golfing with me and my Uncle Mario."
Darwin beamed. "Your uncle is Mario! For sure! I mean, of course, to spend time with my best bud Ocho!" Ocho walked away, and Darwin cheered. He was going to meet Mario! But why did he feel so…wrong?
It wasn't because of Ocho and his uncle, no, it was something much deeper.
Darwin skipped to the library to go on the computer to play some games before the next period. Ocho was in the chair he always sat in.
"Uh, Ocho, can you get out my chair please?" Darwin kindly asked. Ocho glared at him.
"Oh fine. But, since we're not friends, I guess you don't have to come to golfing…" Ocho said, smirking.
Darwin gasped. "No no no! Stay in!" He rushed to massage Ocho's shoulders, singing a song.
After school was over, Darwin saw Ocho in the bushes. He pretended not to notice him, then stuck his face in the bush. Someone from behind pushed him in, and Darwin zoned out.
When he woke up, he was in a chair. A spotlight shined on him. A deep voice called out, "Darwin!"
"Yes, deep voice sir?" Darwin asked.
"Choose one choice! Choice A," A spotlight flashed on Carrie sitting in an electric chair, "Let your girlfriend be executed!"
"Choice B," A spotlight revealed the principal with a razor floating above him, "Let your principal become bald!"
"Or, Choice C," The final spotlight showed Ocho in a car, with oil surrounding it, "Let Ocho die."
Darwin thought for a moment, then smiled. "Well, Carrie can't die! Mr. Brown is wearing a wig, so I save Choice C!"
The lights cut on. The people revealed to be holograms. Ocho appeared from behind the bleachers.
"Thanks for saving me! You're a true friend!" Ocho exclaimed!
"Well, it was actually logic—"
"True friend! Ready to golf?" Ocho asked.
"Yes! I'll finally meet Mario. Let me guess! Is he a plumber with a mustache, a brother, and is short?" Darwin asked.
"Wow, how'd you know?!" Ocho said, astonished.
"Well, he has, like, 15 games! Super Mario, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 2, Mario Tennis Ac—"
Ocho held up a leg. "Wait, you think my uncle is the Mario?"
"Duh!" Darwin said, "Why else would I go golfing with you…" Darwin saw the angry expression on Ocho's face, and Ocho stormed off.
Darwin gasped, then looked at the recently polished floor. He remembered a quote Dad made up. "If it looks like a burger, speaks like a burger, and smells like a burger…it's a burger."
But, if it looks, speaks, and smells like a Darwin…How can it be Darwin?
Suddenly, a memory played in his mind. It was his brother, Gumball, and his sister, Anais, running towards the window.
Gumball and Anais stopped, then looked at Darwin.
"Darwin! This is us telling you, that you are not the person you think you are!" Anais screamed.
"Yeah, dude! You're really the—" Gumball got cut off by a horrible screech.
"Food!" Darwin's dad, Richard the bunny, screeched. "More food!"
"Gotta go! But remember, one down, three to go!" Gumball said, and Darwin went back to reality.
He saw Carrie standing in front of him, looking shocked.
