XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was a sunny day, as Marcie got ready for work.

She went to the living room, which had been cleaned up from the fight that happened days ago.

There on the couch resided Gumball and Darwin, who were still fast asleep.

Marcie put a note on the new coffee table, since the other one broke from that fight.

A few hours went by, and the two finally woke up.

Noticing the paper on the small table, Gumball picked it up, and read it quietly.

Good morning! I'm going to be gone to my workplace for a few hours.

If you need anything, just call me. I left a paper with my phone number on it where the phone is.

And one quick thing. I'm letting you guys do whatever today. Which means yes, you can go outside if you want to.

But if someone's at the door other than me, don't answer it. Also, please don't do something hectic like you guys do on the show.. I just cleaned the living room...

I'll be back soon!

XXX, -Marcie

Real quick XXX means hugs if you don't know. Ok read on.

"What does it say?" Darwin asked.

He gave him the note, and Darwin read it as well.

"Marcie won't be here today. But she said we could do whatever, as long as it's not too crazy, so that's a plus." Gumball said.


"So what do you normally do when she's gone?" Darwin asked.

The two stepped outside, and shut the door behind them.

"Well, today's Friday, so I guess my option's out of the question.. Uh.. Do you just want to walk around?"

"Okay."

Like they decided, they walked around the neighborhood, looking for anything fun or adventurous to do.

"Wow it's awfully quiet.. Is everyone on this block at work today or something?" Darwin asked.

"I don't know, probably. Unless there's old people that live around here, but those guys are boring." Gumball said, shrugging.

Meanwhile, a dark, black car pulled up near a fence.

The window of the car went down, and revealed a man wearing a black suit and shades.

"Is this the neighborhood?" The man asked, looking at the other man in the car, who was also wearing a black suit and shades.

"Yep, this is the one."


Marcie went to her work station, and sat down in her chair.

"Hey Miss Williams, where have you been?" One of the coworkers asked.

"Uh.."

She was going to speak, but how would she explain? Her coworker could just think of her as crazy.

"I was sick." Marcie lied, as she continued her work.

The worker went back to what he was doing as well.


"Now this is just boring.." Gumball complained, since it had been silent for the past twenty minutes.

"Maybe we should go back to the house.."

Once they arrived back at Marcie's house, they noticed a note on the door.

They took it off, and read it, only to be confused, yet worried.

Miss Williams,

We have gotten reports from others in town about a 'cartoon like cat' in your neighborhood.

If you have any information, call us at 989-565-1990.

Thank you and have a good day.

Rick Darrel

Head of the S.S.I. Government Agency

Washington DC.

Yes the setting is in Washington DC. Deal with it. Otherwise the chapters coming soon would not make sense. Ok read on.

"Wait.. It's from the government?..."

Gumball nodded, worry on his face.

"And it looks like they're kind of looking for me.." He added, as he read some of it over.

"Shouldn't we go inside then if they're in town?" Darwin asked.

"Uh.. Yeah that sounds reasonable."

Gumball opened the door quickly and pushed Darwin inside, before pushing himself inside as well.

Once inside, they quickly closed the curtains in the windows, and locked the door.

"Okay.. I think we're secure now.." Gumball said, sighing in relief.


Hours passed, and the two were still on the couch, watching whatever was on TV.

They heard the door handle being pulled, which made them start to panic.

A key went in the door, and the door opened, revealing Marcie holding her work things.

Seeing the house 'secure', she raised her eyebrow confused.

"Uh.. Guys? What's going on?" She asked.

"Read this."

Gumball gave her the note from earlier, and she read it silently.

Once finished reading the note, she had a look of confusion, yet some worry on her face.

"You guys can't be serious.. Is this some kind of prank?"

Gumball and Darwin quickly shook their heads no.

"It's not a prank! It's the government! And they're looking for me!" Gumball exclaimed, with worry and panic still on his face.

Marcie put her things down and sat on the couch.

"This isn't good... If they're looking for you guys, it means they're in town.. They could probably spread word of it too.. Or wait no they wouldn't do that.."

"Would they think we're aliens or something?" Darwin asked.

Marcie shrugged.

"Who knows, it's the government. I guess anything 'unusual' or 'dangerous to the public' is a big no no to them." She said, putting the note back down.

"But what do we do?! It's not like they're just going to, go away or anything!" Gumball said, worry and panic again, still on his face.

"Calm down, I'll figure something out, okay? Just stop panicking please.." Marcie said, trying to reassure the two.

They all heard a knock on the door, which made them flinch in surprise.

"Williams? Are you home?"

Everyone panicked again, realizing it was government men.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ok, it might be a bit cliché to add the government in this, but it sounded like a good idea to me.

Anyway that was chapter 9! Let me know what you think!

With that said, see you next chapter!

INFO

-The government is now aware of Gumball and Darwin, or well, just Gumball in general.

-Jordan is still in jail.

-Gumball has a melting ability, along with various other abilities, the most known being his melted form. However, when he is melting in a terrible state, whatever part of his body that is melting the most, will not be able to function, which makes it impossible to use that part for him.

-Gumball and Darwin are both aware that they are cartoon characters.

-Using his abilities, yes, Gumball can kill people. What, didn't see that coming? You should've seen it coming.

-Quick note, the town for this story, aka Dennisville, is set as a small town in Washington DC. DON'T CORRECT ME IF SOMETHING IS A MISTAKE. That is what's going to happen, deal with it.

END OF INFO.

Chapter 10: COMING SOON.
