OH NO A MONTH HAITUS! (sorry if I spelled that wrong)
I am SO freaking sorry people! I've had A LOT of writer's block for RWR (short for Real World's Realties) lately, hence why this took so long.
So.. Remember in the very first chapter, I mentioned that Marcie wasn't the typical OC that has an interest for the main character, like, a lot?
Well... I didn't say she's doesn't have a love interest though.. Let me explain.
There's going to be a new character, who Marcie is dating.
Warning, this has swearing in this chapter.
With that said, enjoy!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was another typical day, as Marcie was getting ready to go somewhere.
She came into the living room, carrying what looked to be a small bag.
"Uh.. Where are you going?"
Noticing the look of confusion on Gumball's face, Marcie then began to explain.
"Well, I'm just going out to breakfast with a friend, it's not really anything special."
"Then.. What's up with that weird look on your face?.."
"Oh uh... I'm just... Happy I guess.."
Gumball narrowed his eyes, obviously not oblivious to Marcie's lie.
"You're lying aren't you?"
"Uh.."
Marcie sighed, and finally told the real truth.
"Okay fine, you caught me. I'm going out to breakfast with Aaron, my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?"
The two flinched, and turned around, seeing Darwin standing there behind them.
"Any particular reason why you were standing there?" Marcie questioned.
"Well, your talking woke me up." He replied, as he was no longer behind them now.
"Oh, sorry about that.. Anyway.."
Marcie opened the front door, ready to leave.
"I'll see you guys soon, bye!"
She then left, leaving Gumball and Darwin to still ponder on what just happened.
Marcie stepped inside a diner, which read 'Brianna's Breakfast' as the name.
She glanced at the booths, eventually finding her boyfriend sitting in one of them.
He was sitting there patiently, and smiled once she sat down beside him.
"Hey Marcie, I'm glad you came!" He greeted, receiving a smile from her as well.
"Well of course I wouldn't ditch you Aaron, you know that." Marcie said cheerfully, as she looked over the menu.
"So, what's up with you? Anything interesting the past few weeks?" Aaron asked.
Marcie looked up from her menu, not exactly expecting this question to pop up.
"Uh.. Well.. I guess things happened.. But it's not all that important."
"Really? But could you tell me?"
"Uh.."
"Are you ready with your order?"
The two shook their heads no, and the waitress left to go fill a different table's order.
"I guess you could say the past few weeks were pretty weird." Marcie continued. "It's kind of unbelievable actually."
"Marcie are you trying to keep me on suspense here? I'm getting pretty curious now." Aaron said joke fully, as he finally found what he wanted on the menu.
"Alright, alright. I'll get the suspense over with."
Marcie found what she wanted, as she continued.
"Well, there were those kidnappings recently.."
"Oh yeah, I heard about that.. Did they catch the kidnapper yet?"
"From what I heard, half of the children in my parents' neighborhood are missing, so I don't think they caught the guy yet."
"Shit.. I feel bad for all those parents.." Aaron had a look of sorrow, since this was pretty terrible news.
"I know.. I'm surprised a guy can keep all those kids locked up somewhere. I mean, you'd think they would've run out of room or something."
The waitress soon came back to the table.
"Is your order ready now?" She asked.
The two nodded.
"Yeah, I'll take an omelet please." Aaron replied.
The waitress wrote this down in a small note pad, then looked over at Marcie.
"Some waffles please." She said.
This was written down.
"Alright, your orders will be out shortly." The waitress said, as she left the table.
"Oh guess what Cole did last week!"
"What?" Marcie questioned.
"So, we were hanging out at Brittney's party, yeah? Well, Cole was drinking some punch, while someone announced something. Suddenly, when Brittney came out, she had this ugly looking dress on, so guess what he did."
"What'd he do?"
"He literally spit his punch out, and even funnier, it spilled all over that dress!"
The two laughed, since this story was pretty hilarious.
"Oh my gosh.. Brittney must of been so pissed.." Marcie said, soon stopping her laugher.
"Yeah.. She was alright, so pissed that she demanded for Cole not to drink any more of it!"
"Pff... That's so funny..."
"Yeah I know!"
The waitress came back with their food, and they gladly took it.
"Thanks." They both said.
The two soon began talking, while also eating their food as well.
Soon, they said their goodbyes, as Marcie left the restaurant.
When leaving however, the sky turned gray, and it began to rain.
Marcie went into her car, and turned on the engine.
However, it wouldn't start.
The rain was splashing onto her windows, as she tried again to start her car.
"Need any help?"
She looked over at her side to see Aaron leaning over the car door.
"Yeah, it's not really working for me." She replied, stepping out of the way so he could see what was wrong.
Upon inspecting the engine, he frowned.
"Well this isn't good. It looks like your engine's quit. You might need a new one."
He shut the hatch, and looked over at Marcie.
"If you want, I could drive you home while it's at the mechanic's, if it's not a problem."
Marcie thought, a little worried since she obviously knew Gumball and Darwin were back home, and she wasn't sure what reaction she would see from Aaron if that happened.
It's probably fine.
"Sure, it's fine." She said, giving Aaron a slight nod.
Aaron shut the door, and went over to his pickup truck, which luckily he had some towing equipment in the back in case for this kind of situation.
"Alright, I'll latch the car on."
Marcie climbed into the truck's passenger seat, waiting patiently as Aaron latched her car onto the tow.
"All set back here."
He went into the driver's seat, and turned on the engine.
Soon, they were on their way to the mechanic's.
"So.. I heard.. Something happened with your brother?.."
Aaron tried to not sound rude or nosy, as he said this sentence.
Marcie sighed, but replied.
"Yeah.. He's kinda in jail right now.."
"Jail? What happened?"
Marcie slumped into the seat, watching some cars go by.
"It's a long story.. I was just... Showing him something, and he really didn't take it all too well."
"So.. A fight?"
"Yeah, a fight."
"He didn't.. Injure you like, really badly or anything right?"
"Well... He sort of did.. It was really only a fractured ankle and a few cuts, but I'm okay."
"What was it you were showing him to make him go crazy like that?"
"I.. I was only showing him something I found in the road, and he was pretty pissed cause of that."
"Oh we're here!"
Aaron stopped the truck in front of the mechanic's, and stepped out to go talk to the mechanic.
Marcie waited, as she thought about things.
Should I tell him?... It might sound weird.. Or he might think I'm crazy or something.. But.. I guess it's worth a shot..
Aaron went back into the driver's seat, Marcie's car no longer latched on anymore.
"Alright, it's getting fixed. Now let's take you home."
The two had arrived at Marcie's home, as the rain continued to pour.
"Thanks for the ride Aaron, I really appreciated it."
Marcie stepped out into the rain, shutting the truck door behind her.
Before she could react, an umbrella was above her head, along with Aaron next to her.
"Being quite the gentleman huh?"
"Maybe."
Marcie walked over to her door, Aaron close behind her.
"Okay well, thank you Aaron. I had fun."
"Me too.."
Marcie noticed Aaron seeming to be bothered by something.
"Uh.. Are you okay?"
"Marcie I hate to be nosy or anything, but.. Could you show me what you found in the road? I'm just curious why your brother was mad about it."
Hesitant, Marcie thought for a moment, before finalizing her decision.
"Alright, I'll show you. Just wait here for a second.."
She unlocked the door, and stepped inside, as Aaron waited patiently.
Marcie shut the door, hearing sounds coming from the kitchen.
Curious, she walked over there, and found what was making the noise.
Gumball and Darwin were sitting on the floor, with what appeared to be some cans of whipped cream in their hands.
"Uh.. Hi Marcie.. How'd it go?.." Gumball asked hesitantly, his mouth full of the whipped cream.
"It went well. What's going on here?"
Marcie glanced around the kitchen, finding specks of white on the ground.
"Well.. We were bored.. So.. Darwin and I went into the kitchen, and found this whipped cream.. He sprayed some on my face, so we kind of just played around with it.."
"Okay then.. Well anyway.."
Marcie then changed the subject.
"Aaron's at the door right now.. And he kinda wants to see what I found in the road.."
"So.. You want us to go hide or something?"
"Not exactly.. But just for a second.."
"Uh.. Okay.."
Gumball and Darwin quietly got up and went to go hide behind the couch, as Marcie went back over to the door.
She opened it, and gestured for Aaron to come in.
"Alright, come on in."
He looked around at the living room, noticing some of the new furniture in it.
"Ooh, got new stuff huh?"
"Yeah.. Well.. Replacement stuff anyway..."
Marcie soon took a breath, and prepared what she was going to say.
"Okay, this might sound crazy and hard to believe, so here I go."
She glanced over at the couch, and motioned for the two to come out.
"Don't freak out or anything.. Okay?.."
Aaron nodded, still soaking wet from being in the rain.
He watched, as Gumball and Darwin slowly came out, who were hesitant in their movements, worried that Aaron might take this the wrong way.
"Wow.. I did not see that coming.."
Aaron could only look in shock and disbelief, trying to grasp what was in front of him.
Marcie was praying hard that he wouldn't react negatively.
"Wait, aren't they from that kids show I saw before?"
She nodded, still worried about his reaction.
"How exactly did this happen?"
Marcie sighed, knowing this question would come up sooner or later.
"It's a long story.. To sum it up, a few weeks ago I found one, and then at least two weeks later I found the other, and well, some glitch guy I guess.. But that's basically it.."
She noticed Aaron was still a bit taken back by this.
"Do.. You need to sit down or something?.. I know this is a lot to take in.."
"No, no, it's fine. I'm alright, no need to worry." Aaron said, trying to reassure her.
"You're not like.. You know.. Upset right?.."
"Of course not! Why would I be upset with my girlfriend?"
Aaron gave her a smile, much to Marcie's relief.
"Okay then.. I guess I'll get the introductions out of the way first.."
Marcie looked over at Gumball, motioning for him to say something.
"Oh uh okay.."
He walked up towards Aaron, the situation still pretty awkward.
"Um.. Hi.. I'm Gumball, and this is my brother Darwin.." He said, gesturing over to Darwin, who slightly waved hi.
"I'm Aaron. It's nice to meet you guys." Aaron said, still having a smile on his face.
"Anyway... Do you want to stay?.. I don't think it's going to stop raining for awhile.."
Marcie peeked out the window, as the rain continued to pour down.
"Sure, it's alright. I don't mind waiting." Aaron replied, sitting down since he was tired of standing.
Soon, he and Marcie were talking, while both sitting on the couch, holding each other close.
The rain had finally stopped, and left a beautiful rainbow in the sky.
"Bye Marcie, I'll see you later!" Aaron called out, as he stepped into his truck and drove away, Marcie waving back to him.
She looked back up into the sky, the rainbow still proudly shining there.
Today was actually a pretty good day.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Well there was chapter sixteen! Again, sorry for the long wait..
But let me know what you think! Was this a good chapter?
Anyway with that said, see you in the next chapter!
INFO
-Aaron is Marcie's boyfriend. He's a sweet guy at age 24, and is usually kind and loving for his girlfriend. Proven in this chapter, he doesn't mind the situation, and is mostly chill about it. Also he has a pickup truck. :/
-Here's a fun fact! Originally in this chapter during the diner scene, I planned to have it be revealed that Gumball and Darwin were watching the date play out the whole time, and were supposed to be spying on the two through a bush plant in the building. However, they were soon caught by a waitress who was watering the plant, who is pretty freaking startled by this discovery, along with mostly everyone else in the diner. Then, Marcie was going to be annoyed, and quickly take care of the situation. I decided to scrap this part of the story, just because it sounded a little weird for Gumball and Darwin to be spying on Marcie after all, considering they probably wouldn't care if she had a boyfriend or not. Also, it sounded boring to me too. Just a little deleted scene for you there!
-Here's a deleted concept! So, the original draft of this story. Here's the plot. So, it was supposed to be about two things at once. On the first thing, Marcie has recently lost her job, and is looking for a new one. On the second thing, Gumball is trying to prove to everyone that he really isn't a dangerous monster like people keep assuming him to be, but it's not seeming to work out. Yeah.. I didn't really like this concept all too much.. Since I really didn't have much to do with it, so I rewrote this. That's another reason why this took so long.
-Quick heads up! The next chapter is going to focus on Marcie and her father and brother's relationships, going along with what happened in chapters two and six. Just a little note!
END OF INFO.
Chapter seventeen: COMING SOON.
