It was just a normal day in Little Bark Grove. Irving was going through the mail when he found a letter for his son. It looked special as it was written on silver paper.

"Harvey," he called out, "mail for you!"

Harvey entered the room and was handed the letter which he then opened and when he did, he was surprised.

To Harvey (middle name yet to be confirmed) Beaks,

It is with a great honor that we nominate you for the BEST CARTOON AWARD in the 2016 ANIMATION AWARDS! (Yes, that's apparently a thing)
The Award show will be held tomorrow at Vicarstown station, Island of Sodor. Enclosed is a magical whistle that will teleport you and your family to the Island. We look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,
Sir Topham Hatt and Sir Robert Norramby.

Harvey couldn't believe his eyes. "Dad, I've been nominated for the Best Cartoon Award!"

His father was very impressed. "Way to go son!" he said.

"I mean, chances are I won't win, but it's an honor to be nominated anyway."

"Oh, you're a shoe in, Harvey." said Miriam, who'd just entered the room. "Everything else on Nickelodeon is either stupid, annoying, overrated or past it's prime. And I'm not just saying that because I'm your mother."

To celebrate, Harvey decided to watch some TV with Fee and Foo. All that was on was Two More Eggs and The Amazing World of Gumball. They decided to watch Gumball.
When the show ended, Gumball was hosting a Cartoon Network block, live.

"Before I start taking calls," he said. "I'd like to thank all my loyal fans for nominating my show for Best Cartoon! When I win that award, and I will win, I want you all to remember that I never could have made it without the help of all the little people that I had to step on to get where I am today."

"I like this show," Said Fee, "but that guy can be so full of himself sometimes." Gumball then answered the first call.

"Hello, you're on the air." Answered Gumball.

"Hi, I'm a first time caller, You seem pretty sure you're gonna win that award." said the caller.

"Well, duh, why wouldn't I?" said the egotistical cat boy.

"Well, I think there are some other wonderful cartoons that have a good chance of winning too." said Harvey (as he was the caller).

"Oh yeah, right, you mean losers like that Harvey Beaks guy?" and Gumball laughed rudely.

Harvey was shocked. "I'm not a loser!" He called out in self defense.

Gumball was shocked. "WHAT?! Oh, I get it, you're trying to sabotage my show. You're cheating!" He said angrily.

Harvey was getting a little mad himself. "No, I'm not, All I did was point out that you haven't won yet!"

"Well, I'm going to win!"

"No, I'm going to win!"

"No, Me!"

"No, Me!"

At this point, the two were just repeating the word 'me' back and forth to each other through the phone/TV. this went on for about five seconds until Gumball called out "You never should have messed with me Beaks, TWO CAN PLAY AT THIS GAME!" and he hung up and the show went to commercial.

"Sounds like he's gonna play dirty," said Fee. "Maybe we should play dirty too!" At that moment, Foo started looking excited.

"No one here is going to play dirty." informed Harvey. "I don't know what came over me when I said I was going to win. we should just play fair and square." Upon hearing this, Foo put his bat away.

Meanwhile, in the city of Elmore, Gumball and Darwin were talking.

"I can't believe he tried to sabotage my show!" Gumball shouted.

"All he did was call in and say that you haven't won yet." Said Darwin. "Besides, I've seen his show. He's a nice kid."

"Yeah, well I bet that whole 'Goody two shoes' attitude is just an act. Deep down inside, he's just a huge jerk, everyone is!" said Gumball who's ego was bigger than his brain. "Besides, his show's just a ripoff of mine. Have you seen the main character's skin colors? They're the same as ours!"

"That's just a coincidence?" said Darwin. "You have to do more research before you jump to conclu..."

"One of them said you look fat." interrupted Gumball.

"Oh, they're going down!" said a quite pissed off Darwin. Gumball rang Cartoon Network about a small promo for which to end the commercial break.

Back at Little Bark Grove, Harvey, Fee and Foo had just finished lunch and were going to watch a little TV before going outside.
On Cartoon Network, there was a live promo supporting TAWOG. It was a marching band all wearing T-shirts with Gumball's face on it. some were carrying signs saying 'GUMBALL FOR BEST CARTOON'.
The twins were annoyed by how egotistical Gumball was being but Harvey didn't take much notice of it until he saw that on the bass drum, it said 'HARVEY BEAKS RIPPED US OFF'.

At this point, Harvey threw the TV remote to the floor and said in a low voice, "Now I know what came over me." Upon hearing this, the twins grinned because they knew that s**t was about to go down.

I hope you enjoy this revised version of Chapter 1.
