Hello! And here is chapter four! Enjoy!
Ok running was a bad idea..
Gumball finally caught up to the ambluence, and tried to catch his breath for a second.
Once he was good, he went inside the gloomy place known as the hospital.
Ugh.. My head...
Marcie stared up at the ceiling, as she was placed in a bed.
"Can you hear me?"
She blinked, and looked at the nurse.
"Mam, can you hear me?" The nurse asked again.
Marcie quietly nodded, as her body continued to hurt.
"Everything's going to be fine, alright?"
She nodded again, and the nurses and doctor quickly got into action.
Gumball waited impatiently outside the door, worry overtaking him.
The clock on the wall ticked loudly, making it seem like forever, as the minutes went by.
A nurse stepped out of the door, with relief on her face.
Seeing him on the ground, she jerked a little in surprise.
"..Is she going to be ok?.."
He looked up at the nurse, with a frown on his face.
Still a bit surprised, the nurse answered.
"Uh.. Yes.. She's just fine.."
"Can I see her?..."
The nurse looked at the door, knowing that they finished bandaging her up.
"..Yes.."
Gumball quietly got up and opened the door.
Inside, Marcie still sat in the bed, but was now bandaged at where the wounds were.
"..Marcie?.."
She looked up, seeing him come to the side of the bed.
"..Hey.." She greeted, her voice still shaky.
"..Are.. Are you ok?..." He asked, still worried.
"..Yes, I'm fine.." Marcie said, as she smiled.
She sat up a little, wincing at the pain.
"..Marcie.. Are.. Are there people like Jordan in your family?..."
Marcie sighed, and motioned him to come closer.
"No.. Just him.." She replied, her voice now getting better.
"So they don't get angry like him?..."
She shook her head.
"My family are kind people, they don't start fights like my brother.."
She said brother in a bit of anger, not really fond of using that word to describe Jordan.
Remembering the earlier events, Marcie became a little puzzled.
"Hey, I have a question.."
Gumball nodded, signaling her to continue.
"That.. Um.. 'Thing'.. You turned into.. Can.. Have you ever.. Done that on the show?.."
She noticed a slight change in the atomosphere, which made it colder.
"No.." He answered softly, almost sounding like a whisper.
"No?.."
Marcie had a look of confusion on her face.
Then how did he..
"Have.. You ever.. Melted on the show?.." She asked.
Again, he shook his head.
"No.. This stuff never happened before.."
Marcie was now fairly worried, since this sounded pretty weird.
"Then.. Maybe it must have something to do with that void you mentioned.." She said, puzzled in thought.
They heard the door open again, and they both looked at who it was.
There was a couple standing in the doorway, who looked to be at least in their late forties and early fifties.
"Marcie?.."
The older man had a look of worry and concern on his face, along with the older woman.
"Mom?.. dad?.." Marcie questioned.
The older woman noticed Gumball at the side of the bed still, and looked at Marcie with a confused, yet surprised look on her face.
"What the h-"
Marcie quickly cut her father off, before he could say the curse word.
"Marcie.. How.." Her mother had no words, still pondering about this.
Marcie sighed, and began to tell them.
"Mom, dad, this is Gumball. Gumball, this is my mom and dad." She said, introducing them to each other.
"Uh.. Hi.." Gumball said awkwardly, waving his hand a little.
"I found him in the neighborhood when I was driving back home, and basically, sorry if this sounds weird, but he came out of a void that landed him here." She explained.
Instead of being angry like Jordan, the couple were okay with the explanation.
Marcie's mother bent down and touched Gumball's head, which to her felt soft and fluffy.
"Is he like the one on the show?" She asked.
Marcie nodded.
"Yes. But.. With some.. Extra, no need to worry things.." She said, a little nervous.
"So what happened to you Marcie?" Her father asks, as he was on the left side of the bed.
"Jordan came over today.. I tried to introduce him to Gumball, but.. It didn't end well.."
Her father clenched his fists a bit angrily.
"What did he do.."
She sighed, and continued.
"Once I introduced him to Jordan, he asked me where he came from, but.. He kept saying where did it come from.."
Marcie's mother looked at Gumball with concern, then back at Marcie.
"I explained to him what happened, but he wasn't understanding, and he kept cursing and shouting.."
Her father was now concerned and angry, now realizing why she cut him off earlier.
"I technically started the fight.. But I had to! Jordan was being a jerk, and wasn't thinking about how Gumball would feel about the things he said.. But I underestimated Jordan, and he began to fight me back.."
"That son of a-"
Her mother cut her father off quickly.
"No dear, no swearing."
He nodded, and listened to the story.
"I tried to help her, but she wouldn't let me.." Gumball added, with a tone of sadness in his voice.
"I didn't want Jordan to hurt you, ok?" Marcie said, with a sincere sound in her voice.
"So.. I punched him back, but.. I forgot how strong he is.. He threw me at my coffee table, and it shattered.. And that's what caused most of the injuries.."
Her mother and father looked at each other with concern, then back at Marcie.
"He was going to throw what was left of the table onto me.. Gumball tried to stop him, but Jordan threw him to the wall.."
In alarm, her mother looked at Gumball again.
"Oh my gosh! Are you ok?!"
He nodded.
"It hurt.. But not that much really.."
She looked at Marcie and signaled her to continue.
"Jordan.. Finally smashed the table onto me.. And.. It hurt a heck of a lot worse.."
Her father clenched his fists tighter.
"But.." Marcie was a little hesitant to explain the rest.
"Marcie?" Her mother was concerned, but she knew there was more to the story.
"It's ok Marcie, you can tell us the rest." Her father said, trying to reassure her.
"Are you sure?" She asked, a little worried.
"Yes Marcie, you can tell us, we're your parents." Her mother said, with a little smile.
Marcie took a deep breath, and prepared to explain the rest.
"Well.. I was injured.. But.. Before Jordan could do more harm... Gumball.. Uh.. Turned into.. Uh.."
She was trying to find the right words, but had no avail.
The couple waited for her to continue, while she still struggled to figure out how to describe the moment.
"She means this.."
Her mother and father turned, her mother letting out a small gasp, while the father widened his eyes a little in surprise.
Gumball stood there, now turned into the drippy blurry figure again, but wasn't in an injured state.
Marcie then continued, hoping her parents would take it lightly, other than what Jordan did.
"Anyway.. He.. Helped me out.. And managed to get me here.." She continued.
Her parents looked back at her, still surprised.
"And.. That's basically the story.." Marcie said, finishing the explanation.
She looked at her parents with some worry, hoping that their response wouldn't be negative.
"So.. That's.. The.. 'extra thing'..." Her mother said, with disbelief.
"Yes.. That's the extra thing.." Marcie said, still worried.
Her father cleared his throat, and unclenched his fists.
"Well, at least you're ok.. Do you know where he is now?"
Marcie looked over at Gumball, who was now reverted back to his nondrippy self.
"He got arrested.." he said quietly, a little worried as well.
"Huh. Well, I guess that question's answered." Her father said.
"You guys aren't.. Mad at me or anything.. Right?" Marcie asked.
Her parents shook their heads quickly.
"No sweetheart, of course we're not mad at you.. It was Jordan that started it." Her mother said, with reassurance.
"And.. You're not mad about Gumball either?"
"Nope." Her father answered.
Gumball sighed in relief, since that was what he was worried about.
A doctor came into the room, holding a chart in his hand.
The parents turned around, ready for the results.
"Well, how's she doing doc?" Her father asked.
"She is doing fine. But she will need to stay here for a while." The doctor replied.
The parents looked at each other with concern again.
"Before I go over things, what is your names?"
"Julia Williams." The mother answered.
"And I'm Oliver Williams." The father added, with a stern tone.
"Okay, Mr. And Mrs. Williams, your daughter has a bad fracture on her left ankle, and will have to be in a cast for two weeks. Her head is also going to need to be healed as well. But other than that, she seems to be in good condition."
Mr. And Mrs. Williams sighed in relief.
"So she'll have to stay here for two weeks?" Mr. Williams asked.
"Yes. By then it will be healed and she can go home." The doctor answered.
"Thank you doctor." Mrs. Williams said.
The man nodded, and left the room.
Marcie frowned, after hearing this news.
"Don't worry honey, it won't be that long." Her father said.
"But.. It's two weeks.. That would mean I won't be able to take care of Gumball while I'm gone.." She said, worry on her face.
"Marcie it's ok, we'll handle everything. Just take it easy and relax.. You need rest."
Her mother kissed her on the forehead.
"We'll visit you soon, ok?"
"Okay.."
Her father went to the door, smiled at her, before looking back at his wife.
"I'll be in the car." He said, as he left.
Her mother took Gumball by the hand.
"Ready to go?" She asked.
He nodded, and they went to the door.
"Bye Marcie.." he said, waving as they left.
Marcie smiled, but began to think again about the drippy form from earlier.
