Assalamualaikum and hello everybody. Time for the third chapter of the story. Thank you for the continued support. Now, here is the chapter.
Chapter 3: Memories of the Past Part II
(Continued from last chapter)
Gumball: What is that?
Cato: It's my locket. I was suppossed put in memories of my family in this thing.
Gumball: But what happened then? And wait, is that me at the background? And who's that pink cat I'm playing with? And...
Cato: (Pissed off) Ok, you like to ask a lot of questions, do ya?
Gumball: Well, sorry. I was just curious.
Cato: Well, let me tell you the whole story.
Suddenly Darwin, Dante and Anais came towards them.
Darwin: Hey, guys. What are you doing here?
Gumball: Cato was about to tell a story.
Dante: Cool, can we listen as well?
Cato: Sure, but with a crowd like this, we'd better do it inside.
(Inside the house)
Cato: Ok, so this is what happened. Back when I was little,I used to live beside your house. We were quite a small family back then. Just me, my parents and my sister. Then, I started growing fond of your family. We used to play with each other, building blocks, playing tag. Then, Darwin came along, when he grew legs. After that, was my little brother. We had loads of fun together. Two major things happen back when I was 7, I got shot by lightning, and we moved to Florida.
(Flashback)
Little Cato was walking to the park for a slow walk. Though there was a thunderstorm, he didn't stop until he made a lap around the park. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning hit him, causing him to go unconscious. When he woke up...
Little Cato: Huh, where am I?
Cato's Mum: You're in the hospital, sweety.
Cato's Dad: That lightning didn't seem to do any damage to him, Doc. He's still alive.
Dr. Butt: I couldn't understand it myself. I've never seen anyone getting hit by lightning but not having any symptoms or injuries.
Cato: Okay, I think I'm hallucinating. The doctor's a butt?
Dr. Butt: I've always been a butt, boy-o. (facing Cato's parents) We might need to do a cat scan before he can leave.
Cato's Dad: Okay, then.
(After the cat scan)
Dr. Butt: Hmm..everything seems normal. Just a bit of a lightning rush but other than that he's fine.
Cato's Dad: Okay, thank you, doctor.
Cato's Brother: (smirk) He just said "butt".
(The next day)
Cato was walking back from school, until some bullies showed up.
Bully: Hey, ghost boy. Time to gimme your lunch money.
Cato: What?! I'm not gonna give you my lunch money.
Bully: You heard him, fellas. Time to beat him up.
All of them charged at once. However, Cato ran and managed to avoid the assault, causing all the bullies to hit each other in the face. But something was different, he felt like he ran in the speed of light. Knowing he's still at the scene, he ran off.
(The park)
Cato wanted to test out what happened at school. He ran and managed to run across the park of a distance of 100 metres in less than a second. He thinks that it could be useful, but it became so bored, he only uses it for combat.
(Flashback #2)
Little Gumball: Are you really going to leave us?
Little Cato: Yeah, I have to follow my dad to Florida.
Little Gumball: (Hugged Cato while crying) I'm gonna miss you.
Little Cato: (Kneeling down) Hey, its okay. I promise I'll come back. But you have to promise that you'll remember me
Little Gumball: (Still crying) O-okay, Cato.
Cato's Dad: Son, its time to go.
Little Cato: In a minute, dad.
Little Gumball: (Continued hugging Cato) I'll miss you.
Little Cato: I'm gonna miss you too.
Cato's Dad: Cato!
Little Cato: I'll see you later, bro.
(Back to the present)
Cato: And that was the last time we were in touch.
Everyone except Cato and Dante: (crying from the second story)
Cato: (facing Dante) What? Too sad?
Dante: (shrugged)
Gumball: But that didn't answer the last question, who's the pink cat?
Cato: Well, that was...
Richard: Kids, can you get some milk. We're out again.
Everyone except Cato: Uuughhh!
Amber joined the party...
Amber: What's going on?
Cato: I'm telling my childhood stories.
Amber: Let me guess, they...
Cato: ...ended up crying. Everytime.
Richard joined in...
Richard: So who's going?
Gumball: Darwin, your turn.
Darwin: Anais, you're doin it.
Anais: Dante, get going and help him.
Cato: How's about me and Amber go?
Dante: Do you know where is the grocery store?
Cato: It's just a carton of milk, we can just go to the gas station we passed by earlier today.
Dante: Eh, good enough.
Cato: Continue the story later.
Amber: Race again?
Cato: I'm up for it.
Cato dashed out while Amber teleported.
(Gas station)
Cato: The milk just had to be at the back of the aisle.
Amber: Come on, it's not that bad.
Cato: Hey, the faster we get outta here, the faster I can finish the story.
Suddenly, a gun shot was heard.
Woman: Aaahh! It's the Pink Menace.
Pink Menace: Alright, everyone on the ground, now! This gun's still filled with bullets.
Cato: Should we check out what's going on?
Amber: I think we should.
Pink Menace: (pointing the gun at Larry) You! Get the money in the bag!
Cato: I don't think so! (Dramatic Entrance!)
Pink Menace: (pointing the gun at Cato) You! Get on the ground!
Cato: Or what, you're gonna shoot me with that piece of junk.
Pink Menace: I'm warning you! This gun is loaded and I can shoot at any time!
Cato: And I'm warning YOU! (Wearing the hoodie on) I know combat!
Pink Menace: Alright, that's it! (about to pull the trigger)
Cato: (dashed in front of Pink Menace and took her hand which was holding the gun and raising it in the air)
Pink Menace: (pulled the trigger) BANG! (noticing Cato in front of her) WHAT?!
Cato: Too slow! (dropped Pink Menace on the ground and did a Kimura Lock) KIMURA LOCK!
Pink Menace: AAAHHHH!
Cato: (eased up the grip) I win. Amber, call the cops.
(30 minutes later)
Cato: This guy tried to rob the gas station with a gun.
Donut Sherrif: Thank you for your help, young man. We've been chasing the Pink Menace for months, and couldn't capture her. We'll give you a $25,000 reward in return.
Amber: Don't you wanna open the mask?
Cato: Huh, never thought off that. (facing Donut Sherrif) Hold him.
Cato opened the mask, but what he saw was a totally familiar face.
Cato: Damn! LEXY!
Lexy: Alright, you got me. Now just get me to jail.
Donut Sherrif: With pleasure.
Cato: Hold on, sir. How's about you give her to me.
Amber: WHAT are you doing?
Cato: (whispering) Relax, I got this.
Donut Sherrif: We can't. Only way to give it to someone else is that you have to pay $25,000 and has to be a good person.
Cato: Well, what do you know, you can use my reward money. Also, practically, I'm the good guy for taking her down.
Donut Sherrif: (shrugs) Eh, good enough for me.
Cato: Thank you, sir.
(While walking home)
Cato: I was totally shocked.
Lexy: Why? Cause you never thought it was me?
Cato: No, I've been calling you a guy this whole time and the "Pink Menace" was a girl.
Amber: That's the least of our worries.
(Back home)
Richard: Where are those two?
Dante: Don't worry they'll be back soon.
Nicole: How's about you kids find them?
(Ding Dong)
Cato: Hey, guys.
Richard: (ran to the door) Did you get the milk?
Amber: (smiling) Here you go.
Richard: Ooohh, thank you.
Cato: No, thank you. Along the way, we found someone. Mrs. W, this might be important to you.
Nicole: What's wrong, Cato?
Cato: Remember this face (Revealing Lexy behind her)
Nicole: Oh my GOSH! LEXY?!
Gumball: Uuummm, who is this?
Cato: (showing the picture in his locket) Gumball, this is your long lost twin sister, Lexy. The one who played with you while you're still a baby.
Lexy: (shy) Hi.
Gumball: Oh my gosh! So you were my twin sister?
Lexy: Yeah, before I was kidnapped.
Nicole: I am so sorry, Lexy. I promise it won't happen again.
Cato: We found her robbing a gas station.
Nicole: What?! You're a thief now!
Lexy: No! I learned my lesson. I'm sorry.
Dante: I'm sure you don't know the three of us. I'm Dante.
Darwin: I'm Darwin. Nice to meet you.
Anais: And I'm Anais.
Lexy: Hi. Nice to meet you.
Cato: I just realised, where's Endo and Kira. I haven't seen them for the whole day.
Darwin: They'll be back later. But now, it's time for dinner.
They all ate with great joy of the return of Lexy. However, the student in the shadows is still spying them.
?: Man, now they have a skilled thief in the group. Better tell Tobias about this.
(In the bedroom)
Gumball was looking beat after today.
Cato: Long day, huh?
Gumball: Yeah, I'm knowing stuff too quickly now. First, it was you being here for me, then your super speed, and now this.
Cato: I know how it feels, bro. Imagine, you just moved into a friend's house and you know a lot of stuff about their family in just a couple of days.
Gumball: Somehow, I believe that we're gonna have a big adventure together. All of us.
Cato: Yeah, adventure of a school life.
Gumball: Oh well, another busy day tomorrow. Good night.
Cato: Good night, bro.
