Chapter three
New and old friends
With Burpy in front, they made their way into the attic, it was full of dust, cobwebs, boxes, and a blue thing in the corner! It was moving, and Burpy didn't know why, but the sight of this seemed familiar. The figure rose up and was revealed to be a tall, pale boy, with shocking blue hair, and was wearing a blue T-shirt with three yellow spots on the front, a blue suit jacket, light blue trousers, and red and white sneakers, he was also wearing a necklace with a single golden scale around his neck. The boy looked at Burpy's clothes, and grinned a broad grin,
"Is that you Burpy?" The boy asked, Burpy looked confused, where had he seen this boy before? The boy looked equally confused, "Burpy, it's me, Joules Tesla, don't you remember me?" Joules Tesla! Everything came flooding back to Burpy! He remembered his misadventures in Paris with Ladybug and Cat Noir, he remembered meeting The Doctor, he remembered how he had been shot in the chest by a Cyberman on Berk Before leaving in the wondrous Vortex! He then remembered how he had passed out, with Toothless the dragon in his hood!
Burpy had explained to Darwin and Anais about everything that had happened to him so far, and had explained to Joules what had happened after his regeneration. They were running out of the town, to the area where Burpy's regeneration had occurred. When they arrived, Burpy called out, "TOOTHLESS! Where are you?" And out of the undergrowth sprang Toothless, beaming a gummy smile, and then, to the major surprise of Burpy and Joules, Toothless spoke in English to them,
"Burpy! Joules! I can s-s-s-speak the l-l-language of the lumpentoungue!" Burpy guessed that this was the dragon term for human language, but he wasn't that pleased, for Toothless had stowed away in the Vortex with them, what would Camicazi, the old woman who helped them on Berk, think about this?
"Why did you stowaway with us Toothless?" Burpy asked, "you belong in that universe we were in!" Toothless looked sheepish, and said sadly,
"T-T-Toothless knew that every d-d-d-dragon was meant to go into h-h-hiding, but Toothless w-w-won't. So Toothless d-d-d-decided to look for a w-w-w-world that dragons can live in p-p-peace with humans, with y-y-you." Burpy was taken aback, this did make sense, and he did like Toothless, but what about Camicazi, "Stormfly agreed with T-T-T-Toothless." Toothless added hopefully, Burpy gave in,
"Ok Toothless, you can travel with us," Burpy said, "but you must behave!" Toothless nodded, and then a moaning sound came from the undergrowth that Toothless had sprung from! A young, blue, humanoid cat, who looked a lot like Burpy, stood up and Darwin screamed,
"GUMBALL!" And ran up to the cat and hugged him, this cat must be the Gumball that everyone was confusing him for. Anais was hugging her brother too, Toothless looked confused, and Burpy had to explain who they were. After a while, Gumball turned to Burpy,
"You look familiar…" Burpy could already guess that Gumball wasn't the brightest bulb in the pack, so he didn't loose his temper,
"Yeah, I look identical to you, except the clothes." Burpy explained, he then tried to explain about his regeneration and how almost everyone in Elmore had mistaken him for Gumball. When he got to the part of him meeting Penny, Gumball flipped!
"Didn't Penny realise that you are not me!" He screamed in a panic,
"Only when she looked close, I don't know why." Burpy said, trying to calm the boy down.
"Obviously it was because your eyes are red," Anais pointed out, "that's how I realised," of course! Gumball has black eyes, but Burpy had red irises, that was how Penny had realised! They had now started walking back to Elmore,
"My name is Burpy Flame," Burpy said, holding out his paw to Gumball, who shook it whilst saying,
"Gumball Watterson".
