The hive
"Breakfast's ready!" Nicole screamed downstairs.
Gumball awoke and knocked at Darwin's bowl.
Everyone was ready to eat breakfast in the kitchen. Nicole placed new cereal's box in the table.
"What is this?" Darwin asked curiously.
"Big surprise cereal: eat up and find the mysterious surprise inside."
"Eh eh! That will be mine!" Richard said opening the box.
"No! It will be mine!" Darwin said.
Richard and Darwin started to dig inside the big box. Gumball didn't join, he was sitting on the chair gathering the cereal which his brother and his father where throwing on the table.
"Can you please stop throwing cereal around?" Anais asked sitting on her chair waiting for her pancakes.
"Too cool! I found a Frisbee!" Darwin exulted.
"Rats! Just your luck!" Richard said resigned.
Gumball was eating his cereal in his bowl.
"Hey, did you see?" Darwin asked.
"Oh… yes….. well done!" Gumball answered. He didn't look excited.
"You must hurry; your bus is here!" Nicole said some minutes later.
"Let's go!" Darwin said.
"Hey, wait for me!" Anais said finishing her pancakes.
The three kids sat on the school bus seats. Gumball sat on his seat without noticing Penny near him.
"Hi Gumball!" she said.
The blue cat turned his head.
"Hi Penny!"
The school bus left Watterson's house.
"You look worried today. Is there something wrong?" the fairy-like creature asked.
"Oh… me? No, I'm ok!"
"You're sitting with me, your girlfriend, why you don't look happy?"
"I'm fine, Penny!"
"Please, if you got a problem we can discuss together!"
"You have nothing to worry about. Everything is fine!" Gumball said. He had to say something to calm Penny.
"Ok, if you say so!" Penny said apparently calm.
There was history class at school but Gumball couldn't take the lesson. He was thinking about Nancy. Her beautiful eyes, her ears, her sweet manners, her lovely voice, her friendly attitude…..
The bell rang: playtime.
"Let's go!" Darwin said to Gumball.
Every kid was outside.
"What should we do now?" Gumball said.
"I have an idea why don't we play with this?" Darwin said showing his Frisbee.
"You brought that Frisbee here?" Gumball said.
"Yup, I thought it would be nice to play with!"
Darwin's Frisbee attracted the attention of his classmates.
"Hey, that's a nice Frisbee!" Teri said.
"Yeah, cool!" Banana Joe said.
"BEAUTIFUL TOY LOCATED! FUN RATE: 100% GUARANTEED!" Bobert said.
"Great, if we create a group we'll have a great fun!" Carmen said.
They created a circle.
"All right! Here's the rules. We stand on circle and each one passes the Frisbee to the other one. If the other one catches the Frisbee it's good, otherwise it loses one point. When a player loses at least ten points, it leaves the circle. Understood?" Carmen said.
Everyone nodded.
"Wait, before we start, we must tighten the circle!" Carmen said, warning the others.
"Why?" Gumball asked.
"We are too close to that tree!" Carmen explained and she pointed a tree nearby.
"Why? What's wrong with that tree?" Darwin asked confused.
"It has a hive!"
All the kids turned their heads in search of the hive.
"Oh, here is!" Darwin said as soon he spotted the hive hanging on a tree branch.
"HIVE DETECTED! DANGER FACTOR: HIGH!" Bobert said.
"That's not a big deal! If we are careful, nothing bad will happen!" Carmen said reassuring the others.
The circle was ready.
Other kids like Idaho and Tobias joined the team. Others like Tina, Masabi, Penny and Carrie stayed apart.
"I wish I could have hands to play!" Masabi said a bit sad.
"I hate watching their happy-smiling faces!" Carrie Krueger said.
"Well, see you later!" Penny said moving away.
"Where are you going?" Masabi asked.
"Don't you want to assist your boyfriend?" Carrie asked.
"I would but, you know, I have my trainings!" Penny answered.
"Trainings? Oh, all right then!" Masabi said wondering what kind of trainings Penny was talking about.
"Let's play!" Carmen said.
The game begun.
The kids started to pass the disc to each other. After some minutes, someone lost some points.
Gumball, for some minutes, had fun but he was distracted by the vision of the hive hanging on the branch.
It seemed that nobody could spot it except him. The position where he was standing could allow him to spot the hive.
The Frisbee hit his face.
"Ouch!" the blue cat screamed.
"Sorry Gumball, you lose one point!" Carmen said.
Gumball picked up the disc and threw it to Banana Joe that was in front of him.
Idaho didn't catch the disc.
"That was the tenth time. Sorry Idaho you're out!" Carmen said.
Idaho left the circle.
"Can I play too?" a flower said.
"Oh, sure, Leslie!" Carmen answered.
Gumball's face wasn't hurting. Even his nose wasn't bleeding. If the hit was that bad, he could get injured. He remembered when he got his thumb fractured and, suddenly, the memory of Nancy healing him.
Leslie passed the disc to Gumball and, this time, he grabbed it.
"Well done!" Leslie said.
"All right, now pass the Frisbee!" Carmen ordered.
Gumball stared the Frisbee. He was about to throw it when, suddenly, he stopped.
"What are you doing? Pass the Frisbee!" Carmen said.
"Something gone wrong?" Leslie asked.
After some instants, the blue cat threw the disc.
"Finally!" Leslie said.
Gumball's disc flew over the circle. It hit the hive and that fell from the tree.
"Oh no, what have you done?" Carmen said when the hive landed on the ground.
A swarm of bees came out from the hive.
"WARNING! WARNING: BEES ALERT!" Bobert said alarmed.
Everyone run away.
"Gumball! What are you doing there? Run!" Darwin screamed.
The blue cat was stood still;
"Oh yes, you're right! I'm coming!"
Gumball tried to run away but, suddenly, he stumbled and fell on the ground.
"Gumball, get up!" Darwin screamed.
The cloud of bees was getting closer.
"I…I can't. I sprained my ankle. I can't move!"
The swarm of bees was getting closer.
"Oh no!" Darwin said.
He tried to aid his brother cat but the bees were excessively close. He had to desist.
"Darn!" the goldfish said once inside the school.
The bees attacked Gumball.
Nancy arranged the medicines in the cabinet when someone knocked at her door.
It was Gumball again. He was smiling but his body was covered with bee stings.
