The girlfriend

They were a bit too late when they arrived at the comic book store.

"Your comic book has been sold out, as always!" said Mr. Larry.

"We didn't see a copy!" said the blue cat.

"Don't worry, I always keep a copy of your comic book for my own!"

Mr. Larry took a copy under his desk.

"Here!" said to the two kids.

The two kids took the tenth issue of "The greatest adventures of Billy Bunny" and started reading.

A small label was in the first page: "written by: James Lâne, Alex Guard, Toby Johns, Tim Arthur, Kevin Smith, Georges Stephan and Sarah Thompson".

"Gee…. seven writers!" said Darwin.

"Seven writers for just a twenty-pages long comic book? That's insane!" said Gumball.

"Well, that means that the story will be cool, don't you think?" asked the goldfish.

"Hmmm….I guess so!" answered Gumball a bit insecure.

"Let's read, I want to see Nancy!" said Darwin.

The story started with Billy going out to school during playtime in order to meet Nancy.

"I just can't wait to see her. Oh Nancy Emils I love you! I love your eyes, your ears…." said Billy in a cartoon.

Gumball and Darwin turned the page, they were ready to see an animal, a cute one, but their feeling started dropping as they saw Nancy in the next page.

"Oh Nancy…." Said Billy in the cartoon.

Nancy didn't look like an animal.

Her body was completely covered with a big white hood. Her face was also covered with an expressionless mask. Her hands were covered with a pair of black gloves. Her hood was so big that her feet weren't visible.

She wasn't quite an animal except for a pair of pointy furry ears coming out from her head and a long tail from her back.

"Would you like errr….. an ice cream…..after school?" said Billy in the following cartoon.

"Sorry, I have to go to the gym after school, I'm an athlete. I have my exercises to do!"

Nancy was weird but it was not over. All Billy's school (Leafville high) was plenty of weird and awkward-looking characters as classmates. Most of them were items, some of them were so weird looking that they were impossible to describe.

Gumball and Darwin closed the comic and left the store amazed and confused.

Once at home, after dinner, they started a discussion.

"What's going on? What James did with our comic book?" said Darwin.

"I don't know!" said Gumball turning on his PC.

"I wonder what Nancy is….." said Darwin, he couldn't stop thinking about Nancy's being.

"I have no idea!" said Gumball connecting to Elmore Plus.

"What I really don't understand is why our Billy has fallen in love with her?" asked Darwin.

Gumball kept quiet.

"I mean, did you look at her? She's completely covered with a hood. Not only I can't understand what she is, I can't even understand that she's a girl!"

Gumball kept his brother talking.

"Don't you think that James made our Billy dumber? I mean…. why he has fallen in love with an all covered girl despite all the cute animals that live in Leafville?"

Gumball made an access to Elmore Plus and checked the comic's feedbacks.

"Have you read what Billy said to Nancy? "I love your eyes"….. really? Those are not even her real eyes. It's her mask! That's so silly!"

"Don't worry Darwin!" said Gumball.

"Our feedbacks are positive. Looks like our fans appreciated our last issue!"

"Our? You define the last issue as "our"? You mean… you appreciated Nancy as well?" asked Darwin surprised.

"Well…. I can't complain at the moment!"

Gumball left Darwin speechless.

"Sometimes I don't get you!" said the goldfish.

After turning out the PC they went to sleep.

"I wonder what other weird things James will put in our comic?" said Darwin before entering inside his water bowl.

"I'm curious to see how this love story will evolve!" said the blue cat under his sheets.
