Sunlight is filtered through the blinds on the window. Light shines onto the bed,creating a nice effect. The birds outside are very much so awake,singing their song as they flutter through the sky. Morning has arrived,and Gumball has just woken up.
Gumball gets up from his bed. On his desk is a small letter,and a note. The paper has a small almost bulge in it,giving it a notable appearance,signaling that an object is inside of it. Gumball looks over to the note. It read:
"Gumball,I have something for you to do. I put in enough trust in you to take this package to Greater Bereno. I hope for the best,and hope you make it to the address listed below. You may take 3,but only 3,other people with you. This must be delivered by Next Thursday.
10923 Aldanecia Dr. Greater Bereno CA"
The note was scribbled,the words kind of mismatched and written very quickly,almost rushed. He was in a hurry. This wasn't a good sign.
"I can take three people,huh? Well,I only have to take it Next Thursday,might as well find who I should take,"Gumball thought to himself. He knew how much time he had. He just needed to convince three people to come along. Say he went alone. Bereno alone is a scary city,let alone Greater Bereno. He would die before he left the East side of town. Gumball looked over around the campus. People were in large study circles. At least,that's what they called them. Call them anything else,and the principle would take the circle down before you could take your words back. He looked over and saw a familiar bunch of people,walking outside the lunchroom. Those three were Penny,Teri,and Carrie. They were Gumball's greatest friends. They would provide mental support,especially for that busy year. He knew that they would agree. Gumball joined in,slipping by the conversations.
"So,I'm heading over to Greater Bereno. I have to deliver something. Would you guys join me?"
Already,everyone was speechless. Only because of how absolutely dangerous Greater Bereno is. The city is overridden with crime,and especially murder. Rape was the only crime that was head to head with murder in the city for amount of occurrences.
"Can't you just deliver it?" Teri said,very much so afraid of what might happen.
"Gumball,I'm your friend,so I'll agree,but I need you to understand,if I die,you're going down with me." Carrie told him. Gumball paid no real attention about how she can literally take him down with her if she dies. He gulps a bit,but not anything else.
Overall,the group agrees. They are leaving,there is no arguing against that. All of them were afraid of the possible consequences of going into Bereno county. Death,rape,theft,all possible. And with the sketchiness of the note,he isn't that confident that other powers will interrupt their goal. "Remember,bring a lot. We will be needing bottled water and plenty of other goods. Make sure to have your phone-" Carrie cut him off,saying,"Calm down. We need a place to meet up if we truly are going to do this. " "That's exactly why I prepared a room for us to stay,Room 32 of the Ajerdan Hotel. It's got reasonable service,"said Gumball,"we leave on Friday,okay?"
Everybody nodded in agreement.
As soon as he got out of class,rain began pouring outside. It was a great thing he brought an umbrella this time,wasn't it? He started sprinting to get home. He was sure to not slip and fall,after all,that'd be a horrible event and would delay their mission,wouldn't it? As he ran across the semi-busy area of Elmore,he saw Penny,out with her bag over her head. "She didn't watch the news today,did she,"Gumball thought to himself as he saw he soaking wet from the rain. He also found out in the process how hard it is to hide his pelvis with his bag as he ran,due to the inevitable occurring. Penny spotted Gumball trying to hide it from her. He saw Penny blush a slight bit. "Crap,did she see,"Gumball said,blushing as well in the process. He stopped in front of Penny.
"So,a bit wet,huh,"Gumball said in an almost sarcastic tone. "Yeah... could I maybe join you? We do live in the same house,"Penny said,giving a kind of embarrassed tone in her voice,a very distinct audible difference in the way she spoke,very unsubtle. Gumball waved his umbrella over her head,covering it in the process. Rain poured onto where the umbrella wasn't at,notably,Gumball's right side. "Oh,should I move in?" Penny said,as she moved in a bit closer towards Gumball. Gumball nodded at her.
Gumball and Penny made it out of the rain,and onto the porch. "Two days in a row,"Gumball said to Penny,sighing a while after. "Yeah,sucks,huh?" Penny responded. Gumball,as soon as they made it under the roof,closed his umbrella,and let the water fall off of the umbrella. "Get ready,pack your stuff,we're going to be leaving tomorrow in the morning to check out at the hotel,"Gumball said to Penny,as he ran up the stairs to pack his items in. He was bringing along bottled water,canned food,changes of clothes,and the letter. There was more than enough room for him to store other items,such as potatoe chips. He put his phone in his pocket,and plugged his earphones in. He was going to listen to his travel playlist as he drove to Bereno.
After packing,Gumball put his bag nearby Penny's,which was right next to the door. He grabbed his alarm clock and began putting in a time for an alarm. "5:00 AM,seems about right." He moved the clock back onto his desk. The calming sound of the natural white noise,and the visible appearance of grey clouds in the sky,caused him to enter a type of daze. He felt it every time it rained. He'd have to force himself to sleep,which was uncomfortable. He liked it whenever rain fell. It was so much easier to fall asleep. The rain fell off of the roof,and fell on the grass,making it a beautiful green,with some ugly tan spots around it. He began to fall from his drift into sleep,and began to lay his head on the soft pillow. He then closed his eyes,as his daze turned to sleep.
