Aftermath

Chapter 1: nine weeks

I was in Veronica and I was just watching some photos in my camera since it's the last memory of those who died in Elmore, but at least I'm alive with mom, but I really miss everybody else, I hope they are resting in peace

"Gumball! Dinner is ready" Nicole shouted from the inside of a small house completely different from their home. "I'm coming mom!" Gumball Shouted It was getting late and dark outside...

some months ago...

It was a normal Monday in Elmore and everybody was getting ready for another day in their normal lives

The Watterson's weren't the exception. The Watterson's kids were getting ready for other normal day at school " Mom! I need help" shouted the little bunny girl called Anais from her room. She was eight already and she needed some help with her now pretty long hair

The other two kids known as Gumball and Darwin were in their room just getting ready for school

"Hey men I was thinking about asking for a date with Masami" said the fish who now was 14 to his brother Gumball who now was 16 "really? That's great dude but I didn't know you liked her" said Gumball who was happy about his brother

The two siblings were going downstairs for breakfast they were talking about high school and other stuff

Lately Gumball had this obsession with his new camera he took a pictures about everything, he took a picture of Darwin eating his cereal "And... another for the album" said Gumball "why are you always taking pictures of everything, It's getting annoying you know"

Gumball was about to answer that until the bus arrived "well it's time to go, come on"

then the three siblings took the bus and went to Elmore junior high and Gumball and Darwin to Elmore High School

The hours passed and the day advanced, Gumball and his siblings were going home together talking about some stuff "Aww men, I can't believe Masami is already dating someone else" Darwin said sadly "Bad luck I guess" said Gumball trying to comfort Darwin " Don't worry Darwin you will have your chance some other time" said Anais. They kept talking until they arrived home

Dinner was ready and all the family went to living room to watch some T.V. as they usually did "so how was school today kids?" asked Nicole "Fine but Darwin didn't have luck with Masami" Gumball said " He he! Don't worry Darwin you will have your chances with other girls" Said Nicole to her son

"Elmore News! Everything that's happening right now only on Elmore News" The news were on T.V.

"Shh. The news" Said Richard who seemed curious about the news "Hello and welcome to Elmore news. The first thing were telling you tonight is something that maybe we should be careful with, there is this new virus around which the doctors call the "red flu" We don't know too much about it but there are some symptoms that you should know like fever, red eyes and coughing up blood. The government already took some sanitary measures, schools will be closed, try not to get out of your home and avoid any contact with infected people" This wasn't good and Gumball knew it "wow It's like in the movies" Richard said "No! It's not like in the movies this is real life Richard" said Nicole seriously to her husband "Mom? Are we gonna be ok?" Said Anais a bit scared about the news "Don't worry sis we are gonna be ok, right mom?" said Gumball trying to calm her sister "Sure honey there's nothing to be worried about, but I think It's better if we stay at home" replied Nicole nervously, she was worried, she felt something in her chest It was a feeling a bad feeling

Week 1

It was Tuesday and Gumball, Darwin and Anais didn't go to school, it was closed, Nicole stayed at home too, it was an order from the government to close some public spaces like schools and office buildings

Gumball woke up late because there was no school but he felt very excited because now he could take a bunch of pictures for "documentation" of the red flu

"Gumball! Wake up son It's almost 1 o'clock" Nicole shouted to her son who was coming downstairs "Hey Gumball I need you to go to supermarket, I think It's open" Said Nicole to her son, she needed some stuff to make the dinner and some other stuff that she wrote in a list

"Mom but in the news said that we shouldn't go outside" said gum ball not really worried but just too lazy for that "don't worry you will be ok" said Nicole

Gumball then took the keys and got on his mom's car but then his brother appeared "Hey men Im coming with you" said Darwin "ok get in" replied Gumball

Gumball was driving and talking with his brother "men do you think all about the red flu is real?" asked Darwin curious about his brother's opinion "Nah... It must be some kind of conspiracy" said Gumball. They arrived to the supermarket, they started doing the shopping. Everybody on the supermarket was buying a lot of supplies, everybody was paranoiac about the red flu "Look men everybody is crazy in this town, they are just wasting their money" said Gumball to his brother, then Gumball took his camera and started to take some picture about everything around, it was crazy

The two siblings were almost done shopping and then they lined up to pay until Darwin notice something, the guy who was in front of them had red eyes "Look men it seems like this guy I really high" Gumball whispered to Darwin "I don't think so this dude seems pretty fucked up" replied Darwin "Sir are you ok?" asked a lady next to the men, he started to cough really hard like if he was choking, everybody around in the supermarket stared to talk like if something really bad was about to happen, Darwin and Gumball just stepped back but it was late that man turned around and coughed blood to both of them they were shocked and everybody stated to run away with their supplies "Gumball what are we gonna do, maybe we are infected now!" screamed Darwin in panic, Gumball didn't know what to do and said "take everything you can carry we are leaving" he said, both of them separated and started taking everything they could.

Gumball was in the guns section of the supermarket and then he saw a shotgun he didn't doubt for any second to take it and then he just took it, he took some ammo and also he took a hand gun he didn't know why but it seemed the best choice to do it

he then found Darwin who already had a full cart they got out from the supermarket, Darwin then realized that Gumball was carrying a shotgun "what the hell do you pan to do with that" asked Darwin as Gumball was driving as fast as he could, the city was in panic now the red flu was spreading everywhere in Elmore "what do you think, we need something to defend ourselves, here have this" said Gumball giving Darwin the handgun "Gumball! Are you nuts?" said Darwin who didn't know what to do with that gun

They arrived Home and Anais, Richard and Nicole were watching a News flash about what happened in the supermarket "Kids are you ok... GUMBALL! What in the name of god do you have

there" shouted Nicole to her son Gumball who was carrying a shotgun "I'll explain later, but now you have to call a doctor, I think we are infected" said Gumball quickly to his mom "WHAT! I'll call Dr. Kennedy he will know what to do" Dr. Kennedy was an old friend of the family he worked on Elmore's hospital so he had experience with this kind of stuff

Some hours later

"Okay Gumball I need to make a blood test, the same that we are doing in the hospital" Said the doctor taking a blood sample from Gumball and Darwin who were in their bedroom with the doctor

"Ouch!" said Gumball, the doctor put Gumball's blood sample in microscope and in other small machines "well you are a lucky man, you are safe but also your blood seems to react weird" said the doctor to Gumball who felt a relief and then asked "weird? What do you mean wit weird?" asked Gumball, the doctor took a blood sample from Darwin and had the same reaction "well guys you aren't just safe, you are immune to red flu" said the doctor who was really surprised about the blood tests

"I will take this samples with me, maybe we can make a cure based on you blood guys, there is a lot of people in the hospital diagnosed with red flu and there is even more, the hospital is at it's limit" the doctor said "It's safe to come in!" the doctor shouted from the inside of the room, Nicole and Richard came in "Are they infected Michael?" asked Nicole to the doctor "well I have good news they are safe and also they a re immune, it the firs immunity case I've seen" Dr. Kennedy replied, Nicole wasn't worried anymore she was happy to hear the good news "But remember, you still can get infected" the doctor said to Nicole and Richard "Well I have to go back to the hospital" said the doctor "Thanks Michael" said Nicole

The family was wondering what to do.

"ok, I've seen this in a movie, we have to stay 9 weeks here, we have enough food" said Gumball

It was along time but it was necessary the couldn't risk themselves by going out or having any contact with other people, it was dangerous

Back to the present

"Diner is ready, sit down and eat" said Nicole to her son. They were completely alone in their new home in Veronica "I was wondering how is Darwin doing" said Gumball while eating to her mother. Darwin was in another town trying to find survivors with a small group of people form Veronica and Elmore "I don't know but I hope he is ok he has been looking for two months already" Said Nicole worried about her other son "I don't want to lose another member of my family" said Nicole "Don't worry mom I'm pretty sure he is ok" said Gumball trying to comfort his mother, but he was worried too he missed his brother and he didn't want to lose him neither, outside Veronica was dangerous, all the country was dangerous there was no authority

Gumball kept eating and then he went to sleep tomorrow he had to go back to Elmore and look for gas and another supplies like ammo and guns. Nicole did not approve that but it was necessary almost everybody was fighting in the south or looking for people in other towns. Gumball stayed in Veronica with his mom, he and another bunch of people stayed to defend Veronica from bandits and looters.

Gumball was lying on his bed looking at some pictures, he was remembering the old days back in Elmore, Penny, Bobert, Tobias, everybody, but it was pretty sad to remember them, some of them were dead or god knows where. Some of them were with him there in Veronica like Teri and Hector but only them. But at least he was alive , he, Nicole and Darwin. He stopped thinking about that and tried to get some sleep tomorrow he had to drive a long way to Elmore.
