Hello people, today, your old friend(me), is sick, so my head is messed up, and my brain is like, explosiony, so anyways, hope you like the chapter, um, please review, and I guess that's it. Except for the fact that it's not it, so I got a couple of song requests and I decided that I wouldn't use any, explanation is in the bottom author note. And I also read my last chapter and saw SOOOOOO many errors, anyways, don't try and find them, just read.
Gumball woke up the net day holding onto something. He opened his eyes and saw Carrie, he smiled and leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"Too... tired to, don't wanna... five more minutes." Carrie said groggily. Gumball smiled, he loved it when she made no sense. He laughed to himself. He then whispered into her ear. "C'mon Carrie, you have to wake up."
"Nooooooo, i don't wanna." Carrie whined. She then smiled and turned around to face Gumball.
"See, that wasn't so bad." Gumball said.
"I guess not." Carrie said with a yawn. Gumball gave her a kiss and they got up, still in their clothes from the previous night. They both went downstairs to see Carrie's mom and dad sitting on the couch looking fully energized. Carrie and Gumball on the other hand, looked extremely tired, they weren't morning people.
"Good morning you two, did you sleep well Gumball?" Carrie's mom asked.
"Yeah, I did." Gumball said.
"That's good. Now, you'd better go home and make up with your mom." Carrie's mom said. Gumball nodded, said goodbye, and went out to his car. He started the engine and drove off. He really wasn't looking forward to this. He didn't want to face his mother after last night's events. He sighed as he pulled up in front of his house, he got out of his car and walked up to the door and turned the knob and was immediately met with his mother's angry face.
"Well, look who came back? I thought you didn't need me, but here you are the day after." Nicole said with an angry face. Gumball growled and mumbled something under his breath. "What did you say?" Nicole said.
"I said I only came back because Carrie's mom said you wanted me to come back. She told me to come make up with you, so I did. And here you are, yelling at me, not concerned if I was alright or not!" Gumball yelled.
"That's not true." Nicole said.
"Oh it's not, is it? First thing I come home to was you yelling at me! YOU DON'T CARE!" Gumball yelled. The next thing that happened was a lot of pain and a loud smack sound. Gumball's face was pointed away from his mother, his cheek was red. Nicole had slapped him.
"G-Gumball, I'm sorry." Nicole said. Gumball put his hand to his cheek and turned to his mother with an angry expression, tears in his eyes.
"All I wanted was to try and fix things, you didn't want to allow that. I'm out o here, again." Gumball said turning away still holding his now bruised cheek. He walked back out to his car, got in, and drove away. Nicole just stood there.
"Mom? What was that noise?" Anais said coming down the stairs rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah Mrs. mom, what was that?" Darwin asked. Nicole was frozen in place, she couldn't believe what she had done. "Just go back to your rooms." Nicole told them. They did as told and Nicole was left to think.
Gumball was driving a few streets away wondering where he would stay. He couldn't stay at Carrie's house for sure, her parents would send him back home. He had no friends to turn to, since he hasn't talked to them in a long time, he had nowhere to go, unless... yes, he had to. He pulled over next to an ATM machine. He punched in four numbers and money was dispensed. He'd seen his dad do this many times. Once for what he thought was a date with Penny. He took the money, and drove around deciding where he would eat, it was lunch time. He decided on Mimi's cafe. He went in and sat at a chair. He then heard a voice, it was familiar.
"Hello, what can I get for you today?" The voice asked. Gumball looked up.
"Rachael?" Gumball said.
"Gumball?" Rachael said.
"You work here?" Gumball asked.
"Yeah, my parents want me to have a job. So, I decided to work here, what brings you here?" Rachael asked.
"House troubles, I left. I don't plan on goin' back." Gumball said.
"Oh, what happened to your cheek?" Rachael asked.
"Nothing, so, I'm hungry, can I order please?" Gumball asked.
"Sure, what would you like?" Rachael asked.
"I want a tall stack of pancakes and milk please." Gumball said.
"For lunch?" Rachael asked.
"Yeah. I'm just used to waking up later, I usually have breakfast for lunch anyways." Gumball said.
"Okay, coming up." Rachael said. She went to give the order to the chef and went back to Gumball's table. "Tell me about the troubles." She said.
"Since when did you care about us kids?" Gumball asked.
"Ever since I started dating your brother, now spill." Rachael said.
"Okay, well, me and Carrie got back together, and my mom didn't approve, so I got mad and left the house and went out with Carrie anyways, then, I ended up staying the night at Carrie's, and no, not doing what you think, and her mom told me that my mom called her wondering where I was, so her mom told me to go home and make up with my mom, so I went home in the morning, and when I got there, my mom started yelling at me, so I yelled at her, made her feel bad, and she ended up slapping me, so I left. Again." Gumball explained.
"Huh, heavy, well, your order should be up by now, I'll go get it." Rachael said. She went to get the food, and came back with a plate with a stack of golden brown pancakes with syrup. "By the way," Rachael said. "My parents have an extra house over on dandelion boulevard, you can stay there if you want." Rachael said.
"Really? Thanks Rachael, oh, and if you see my brother, tell him I said hi." Gumball said.
"Okay." Rachael said, she then left to wait another table. Gumball thought about how lucky he was to have seen Rachael there, he then grabbed his fork and started to eat his pancakes.
