Chapter 1: An Odd Message
In Elmore City, the sun was beaming down on the town on a peaceful Sunday. In the backyard of a calm house was a young 15 year old blue cat relaxing with his brother, a 14 year old fish. They were siblings who normally got into crazy antics around town which had been calming down over the years, and they were enjoying what they thought would be their last day of peace. "Hey, Gumball, are you excited about tomorrow?" the goldfish asked his brother apparently named Gumball. "Well it is high school. Why, Darwin, aren't you?" Gumball answered his question in confusion while the shadow of the tree they were under was cast over them.
"I'm just a little worried" Darwin implied. The two of them were starting their first day of high school tomorrow. "Why? We're gonna have our same friends there and we can make new ones too," Gumball explained since most of their friends were going to start high school with them as well. "…Yeah, I guess you're right. How've things been with Penny?" he asked in response after being calmed down by his brother. "We've been going fine so far. She was thinking of introducing me to her parents sometime over dinner," Gumball responded with a hint of nervousness in his voice. He didn't exactly make a good impression on his girlfriend's family. In fact the first impression he made was downright terrible.
"I did that with Rachel's parents last week they liked me a lot," Darwin claimed happily, making Gumball roll his eyes in irritation until they heard a familiar song playing. It was an ice cream truck that was stopped in their neighborhood "Your turn or mine to get the ice cream?" Gumball asked. He saw his brother stand up. "Mine, be back in a sec," Darwin told him happily before running off. Most of the time he had a happy optimistic attitude and was rarely brought down.
Gumball just laid back and relaxed, though when he opened his eye he saw a paper plane flying around. He looked at the paper plane being carried around by the wind bellowing in his ears. He raised an eyebrow before suddenly the paper plane poked him in the eye, making him yelp in pain before pulling it out of his eye. He noticed some writing on it and flattened out the paper plane. It was actually a note, so Gumball got up and looked around over the fence and at his neighbors' houses, seeing no one around. He questioned where the letter came from and read it. 'After school, you will get a phone call, Gumball…'
Gumball was confused by what it read, but when he saw Darwin come back with the ice cream he rapidly tore it to shreds and hid it away in his pocket, not wanting to worry darwin. "Thanks a lot," he said chuckling nervously as he started licking his ice cream. Darwin was happy so far but hoped that high school would be as good as Gumball said it was.
