Chapter 5: Is this a date?

Royal was doing her homework while Candy is trying to practice her cooking project. Royal got distracted and start thinking about Darwin. His adorable little smile,his cute cheeks-

"Narrator! You're being creepy again!" (Groan) Why won't I get a break? You do know Royal just left right now,right? "She did?" Yes,because she couldn't focus and have to leave. "...Well,I'm sure she'll be fine. But would you do me a favor and keep an eye out for her. Not in a creepy way!" Alright. So,as I was saying,Royal goes to the park to see a lot of cute children playing around, tiny animals and pets playing,Darwin swinging on the swing's,adults enjoying on their picnic and-Wait,Darwin is here?

"Oh no! He's here too!?" Royal whisper in a panic. She was about to leave but Darwin already saw her.

"Hey, Royal!" He yelled as he got off the swing.

"H-hey Darwin. What are you doing here?"

"Oh, Just finished my homework and thought it would be cool to go to the park."

"Really? I just came here since...Well,I think you get the point." Darwin already knows what Royal means.

"Do you mean she's talking to her-"

"Yep. She's my older sister and I thought she was kinda over it. So anyway,I came to the park to finish my homework. There are a few problems I couldn't figure out a bit." She said with a nervous face.

"Hmm,It's alright. Maybe I could help you." He brings Royals towards a picnic table and placed her books on the table including her homework. "So,which problem are you having trouble with."

"Well,mostly it's just math,"


Darwin explains to her how the problems work and how to do the easy way instead of the hard way,which his sister taught him that. "Okay,So this number goes over the three then I'll get...oh! It was C." Royal said and circle her answer. Darwin watch's her as he stairs at her beautiful pink hair. 'Don't do it,don't do it,don't do it.' His head said as he really wants to touch her hair. He couldn't help himself and touched her hair. It felt so smooth with a bit of smell of cotton candy. "Darwin? What are you doing?" Royal ask as Darwin immediately drew back his hand away from her hair. He felt his face is turning hot boiling lava.

"I-I-I didn't mean too! I'm sorry!" He said and look away from her.

"Uh...It's alright Darwin. Hey,why don't we hang out on top of that tree? It looks fun." She said and run towards this huge tree and start climbing it. "Darwin nearly said no since that mouse attack him. That's why he was screaming while hearing the mouse sought out 'Leave mother nature alone! She's ours and we love her!' He should have known that. She was being nice to all animals,and he's a fish. "Darwin! Are you coming!?" She said out loud since she's way up high in the trees.

"Y-yeah,I'm coming." He climbed up to meet her up and sit beside her. They both look to see a beautiful sun over the hill. 'This,almost feel's like were on a date.' Both thought at the same time,and it quite does feel like a date. But not really.

"Hey, Darwin?"

"Yeah?"

"What was it like while you were little,living in this town?"

"Well,pretty much normal. Me and Gumball sometimes get pulled into crazy adventures or something?"

"Really? Like what?"

"Hmm,there was one time when Gumball ate a map while we were on a field trip and thought it would make him memorized it but then we get lost and have to force to survive."

"You mean like...eating-"

"NONOno! No, we didn't! Actually,Gumball was about to eat a cute little caterpillar till I stop him and let him release it,"

"Aww! That caterpillar must have turned into a beautiful butterfly!" What Royal doesn't know the caterpillar didn't last long for a bit till it got eaten.

"uh,Y-Yeah. That fella did turn into a butterfly. Anyway,I got hungry and kinda..."

"Kinda what?"

"...May have eaten Gumball's clothes..."

"What!? (Laughing) That's gross but a bit funny. Oh please don't tell me you also ate his underwear." Royal kept laughing while Darwin blushes in embarrassment.

"Okay,okay. Let me tell you another what else happen here in this town. Mister dad kinda ran over Santa Claus."

"What?"

"Yep. And he even lost his memories. It was kinda a tough challenge to help him remember all his work as a Santa Clause."

"That's something...Did you get on his naughty list?" She said with a giggle.

"No! We still stayed on the nice list...But I don't know about Mister dad...Hmm,maybe." Royal thought a bit when Darwin kept saying Mister dad and Misses mom? Why don't he called them mom and dad?

"Darwin, why don't you call them Mom and Dad instead of Mister and Misses?" Royal ask.

"...Well,At first,I was a pet first then I started to breathe on land then the next thing happen,I grew legs. They started taking care of me like a son,and Gumball was like a brother I never have. We both play Dodge or dare,playing video games, and many other things. When we heard were about to have a sister in our family,we both kinda panic and thought if she would like us. When me and Gumball play a scary game, we both scream and ran straight to Anais room and baby cuddle with her. We heard her laugh and hug us both,almost like a caring type. We both know now she does like us,even though she is way much smarter than everyone else in the house. When years passed by,I finally knew when I was first adopted, I was a Watterson." he finished and look over to Royal to see her with a happy smile and a few tears in her eyes. "A-are you okay!? D-Did I make you cry!?" he said as he began to worry.

"No Darwin...I'-I'm just happy you have an amazing family. No wonder you and your brother and sister are always close." She said and hug him tight.

"Ack!-R-Royal-C-Cant b-breath!" he said as he choking.

"Oh,s-sorry." She said and let him go. Brownie came out behind her neck and jump on Darwin's head to reach up and grab an acorn above him. Darwin nearly flinches until he calms down. At least Brownie like's him than the other animals. "(Giggle) Sorry Darwin. Brownie will get any acorn she see's. I don't know why she still want's them? I even buy her a bag full of acorns."

"Maybe there's a different's between them?"

"Maybe." She said then look at the sun to see its almost dark. "Oh man! It's nearly dark! Come on,we better get going!" She said and climb down while Darwin catches up. They both reach to the ground on a pile of leaves-

"Ouch!" What. Out of the leaves,there was Gumball hiding in the leaves.

"Gumball?! What are you doing here?!" Darwin ask.

"It's not my idea,Candy drag us over her!" ...Why can't she leave this story alone in peace!

"Wait, what do mean Candy drag us here?" Royal ask with a bit anger in her voice. Just then,Anais,Penny, and Carrie emerge's from their hideout. "What are you guy's doing here!?"

"We told Candy this was a bad idea," Penny said with a sigh.

"Where's Candy?"

"Up in the tree where you two were at." Carrie pointed as Royal looks up to see Candy hanging on to a tree branch.

"Hey, Sis! Sorry, I followed you here,and also called the rest here to watch you guys!" She yelled above. How did I miss that!?

"...Candy! Are you nuts!? Who follow's someone!?"

"...I don't know,but I have a question, Is this a date you two are having." Well, Candy,you ruined the moment for both of them. They both blushed and look away. "It's just a question." Candy jump down from the tree to be attacked by Royal.

"Why! DO! YOU! DO! CRA-ZY! THINGS!" she yelled as she shaken her.

"W-why-why N-no-not?" Candy said as she being shaken. The rest went over to Darwin.

"So it was a date,wasn't net?" Carrie said with a smirk.

"What! No,no it wasn't!"

"Come on bro. You totally like her,as in like like. I thought this was an actual date." Gumball said.

"It wasn't a date...It just felt like one." Brownie climbed off of Darwin and climb right back on Royal's neck.

"Oh come on Darwin. It may be best to ask her on a date. You don't know who might steal her from your chance." Penny said with a wink. He thinks for a moment and thought maybe Penny was right. If he doesn't ask her out soon,he may never get a chance to ask her out. Back to Royal and Candy,Royal was done attacking her and came with the rest.

"Me and Candy talk for a bit,and I forgive you guys but please don't listen to Candy's crazy idea's." She said and left the park.

"Hey, Darwin. Can I talk to you for a second?" She asks and pulled him behind the tree. "Just a warning,make sure she only cry of happiness instead of sad tears. Because I don't like it to see my little sister crying. And another warning," she leaned close to him. "If you ever break my little sister heart,you and I are gonna have a problem." She said and left the park while Darwin was shaking. And was that really necessary!? "Yes,it is. You know I don't like to leave my little sister alone. I secretly followed her while you're too busy talking about this story. And I don't like any boy's who dump my sister that will make her cry." (Sigh) At least I know you do care about someone instead of doing your crazy dare.

Back to Darwin,Gumball,and Anais,they were all in their bedroom and both Gumball and Anais were hugging Darwin. "Come on guys,this is embarrassing."

"We're only doing this because you said you thought you weren't the Watterson,but dude,you are!" Gumball said.

"Yeah,don't you remember all the fun times we have,all three of us. And remember when you and Gumball babysit me,even though we did kinda destroy the house,but you will always be our brother and my favorite brother!" Anais said with a happy face

"Hey! I'm right here you know!"

"Sorry." Darwin tries to get out of the hug but gives up and hug them back.
