Chapter 1: A Regular School Day
As Gumball woke up, the sun's light shone through his bedroom. "Come on buddy." He told his brother Darwin. Darwin groaned as he slowly got out of his fish bowl. They walked down stairs and ate breakfast. After, they waited for the bus at the bus stop. They saw all of their classmates and some older kids like Rachel. Darwin walked off to go talk to Banana Joe and Ocho. Which left Gumball alone, only to talk to himself. Until he spotted Penny. His crush ever since they met. He noticed her walking towards him. "She's coming towards me!" He thought. "Hi Gumball!" She said cheerfully.
"Hhhhhiiiiii Pppennny." He managed to mumble out in shock as always. She was so pretty to him. "Do you want to sit on the bus with me?" She asked. "Shhhuuuuurrrre" Still lovestruck. So they sat on the bus and Gumball now started to recover from his shock. They talked and laughed all the way to Elmore Junior High.
"Man! School sucked!" Gumball told Darwin. "Why? It was just like any other day." The fish replied. "Darwin? Three tests which we both bombed, and an hour of detention for not bringing our homework!" Gumball replied. "Well this is what happens on a regular basis." Darwin said. "Shhh!" Gumball hissed. This made Darwin shut his mouth. "Hi Gumball!" The familiar voice rang in Gumball's head as he realized who it was. "Hi Penny." Gumball said much less nervous. "Do you want to do homework together?" Penny said. Gumball immediately said, "YES!." As they walked off leaving Darwin by himself. "AW, COME ON! WHAT ABOUT ME!?" Darwin yelled. "Tell mom I'll be home by 5." Gumball yelled back. "HEY! Oh never mind I'll tell her." Darwin replied as he walked home alone. As he got home, Nicole, their mother, seemed angry. "WHERE'S GUMBALL!" "He went to Penny's house to do homework." Darwin said. "Gumball, homework?" Nicole said as she was starting to calm down. "Yeah, even I'm surprised." Darwin said back. "Well as long as he comes home soon." Nicole said. "Yeah, tell me about it." Darwin replied as he was walking up the stairs to his room. Anais wasn't home yet, so he was the only kid in the house. Dad was asleep. What was he supposed to do?
As Gumball walked out Penny's door, Penny stopped Gumbal and pulled him into a long kiss. After a few seconds, they stopped and Gumball hugged her and left. As he walked home he knew what was starting.
