BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! the alarm clock cries. Gumball opens his eyes.
The morning was a blur, brushing his teeth, showering, having something to eat.
Getting on the bus, seeing Penny, walking towards her, going in for the kiss-
Gumball's eyes snapped open at the sound of steel hissing against leather. The stomping of boots, cries of anger. Gumball looked downstairs to see a man with a machete.
His father was there, wounded and blood streaming onto his dampened pink fur, his heavy feet in a fighting stance, his fist twisting to hit the attacking man. Nicole was nearby, growling. The man attacked her with his machete, but his father jumped to stop the blade with his hand. With a plump, the hand fell to the ground. Richard let out a cry, holding his hand - or lack thereof, tears running down his cheeks as he stared at the stump. Nicole growled fiercely, using her cat reflexes to attack the man, fury within her eyes. she stopped and looked down, the blade piercing her chest, and slumped over, dead. Gumball let out a gasp. The man finished off Richard and turned to walk up the stairs.
Gumball sprinted to the safe in his parents room, pulling out the revolver from within and loading rounds into the chamber. Gumball dropped one and grunted, closing the chamber. he walked out of the room and aimed the gun to see the man trying to open Anais' door. Closing his eyes and whimpering, Gumball fired a round.
The man looked down ad the blood covering his chest and slumped over. Gumball let out a sob. He had never killed anyone.
"Well, kid, your parent's are dead, that's for sure." The officer said, staring at the dead bodies. Gumball nodded. "We'll take you to an orphanage now, okay?" Gumball swallowed back a lump and nodded. He would be fine, he was thirteen, but his siblings.. He was unsure about them.
"We've got some new orphans here. You better not mistreat them, or you'll get half food tonight." The man said, shaking his head distastefully and wiping his dirty hand through his slick black fur. His jowls were thick and grubby and he never seemed to smile. Gumball disliked him.
Gumball figured an orphanage was similar to a prison, so the first kid he saw - a rude tall goat kid with a t-shirt and grubby shorts, with a posse of a few other kids walked up to him. "This place is mine, you speck of dirt. Don't think I won't eat you up, kid. I will beat you the first chance I get."
Gumball took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and smashed his closed paw right into his nose, and as the goat boy stumbled back, he sent a right hook into his face, kicking in the groin area, and proceeding to uppercut him to the ground, he then kicked the boy on the ground distastefully, continuing to walk to their room with his siblings.
"I don't know, Gumball. That kid seemed pretty tough.. and mean. Are you sure you can take him on again?"
"Yeah."
The next day, while getting lunch, the goat kid and his posse walked up to him, holding sticks, twigs, and canes. A pig covered in mud and grease with a spot on his eye grabbed his arms, and laughed. The posse proceeded to bat gumball as he cried for them to stop. smashing, hitting.. He thought he fractured a rib, and he was pretty sure his leg was heavily bruised, and then goat kid punched him in the eye. as his eye bruised, they finally stopped. Gumball lay on the floor, crying.
