Been awlie since I stared this again. Please forgive a Fool like me and for makeing you wait for long here your next chapter.
The Blood Steak Read Tobais. "Sound creepy." said Anais. "let see what happen, before we jump to conclusen." Gumball said with a wave to contunce.
Standing in front of him were his parents and siblings. They looked as shocked to see him as he was them. Not here, not now.
"What are you all doing here?" It was a simple question but made Nicole upset.
"We asked you first young man" She said as she walked closer to him before stopping. "And what are you wearing?" Now she was gaining an accusing look. "You stole that outfit didn't you?"
That hurt. For his own family to believe he would do something like that. Now he wasn't just hurt he was just angry.
Everyone flich knowing a mad Gumball is something you don't want.
"You think I would still an official military outfit in a middle of a war." It wasn't a question, he already knew the answer. Before he could say anything he felt a comforting form come up behind him. Tina.
"Is everything okay Gumball?" Not knowing how to answer, he just stood there. She kept a watchful eye on the Watterson family.
Gumball give Tina a warm smile, which she return. And make Carrie jelouse.
I've lost my appetite Tina." Walking around her. "Sorry Tina."
"No way Gumball, we came here to get some food in you." His stomach made a rumble of agreement. Traitor.(Everyone laught at that)"And Carrie is ready to eat."
Leading him away wasn't that easy.
Everyone just sight, While Flipy said of "course not."
"Excuse me Miss Rex but we're talking to Gumball" That only received a growl from Tina as a response. "So if you don't mind we're having a family conversation."
Gumball just glare and said "Some family, Acussing me." Everyone fliche at Gumball tone. It sound as thought he was ready to attacke.
"Some family, you're all just accusing him." Tina snorted. Everyone could't believe that Tina just said what Gumball said. Gumball said "Great mind think alike, huh." Everyone give a chuckle.
How else would he have gotten those clothes?" She asked indignantly. "I know we didn't buy it for him." The answer didn't come from either Gumball or Tina. It came from Richard, who has been silently eyeing Gumball.
"I know that jacket and beret." All eyes were on him. "It belongs to my grandpa." Gumball didn't like the look he was getting, from his own dad. "Mom said if I ever touched it she'd disown me. Why do you have it?" All eyes were on Gumball.
"It was a gift." Their eyes told them to elaborate. "From Granny Jojo herself."
"There is no way she'd give THAT to you of all things." He'd never seen his dad like this. "I wasn't even allowed in the same room as it." Walking forward, he had an anger that surprised everyone. "You stole it." Gumball said "Ladies and gentlemen an angry bunny." Gumball then started clapping his hand and everyone chuckle. Before Tobias could read a note came to him. He read the note "I forgot to mention everyone will feel Gumball emotions to some extinct and the pain you fell he fell will hurt like a pinch, beside Gumball. He will fell it full blast, till he heals. Sorry from Leo." Gumball pales at that and told Tobias to read.
"How?" Turning to for his table, Tina followed him. "She gave it to me." Grabbing a plate "Because she remembered what today was."
"What do you mean, it's Darwin's day?" he didn't answer "Stop right there" He kept going.
Remembering something he did stop and rummaged around. Finding it, he turned to look at his family and show it. "She even gave me this" A pair of dog-tags. Putting them on, he returned for his seat.
As he made his way to his seat he heard something that stopped him. "I'm sorry he ruined your day Darwin." They really forgot. "I can't believe I had a child like him." Turning to look each other in the eyes he understood.
He was wrong.
They didn't just forget.
They didn't care.
Never in his life has Gumball ever felt like this. He was abandoned by his own family. Forgotten; by a non-blood related member. There was no attempt to even hide it on their side.
He could live with a birthday being forgotten. He knew it being Darwin's day was important. But to no longer be cared for, by family.
Gumball was no longer hungry. Actually all he felt was numbness. (Everyone felt it a little, but thety turn to Gumball looking blank at them.) Not liking the feeling he changed directions to the door. He hoped leaving would remove the feeling.
Tina could only stand in stunned silence. Her dad was an open brute but he never hit her. What she witnessed the Wattersons do was worse. Her heart was breaking for Gumball.
Carrie just looked hungry. The void feeling that he was experiencing. The family drama they displayed.
It was all too real.
BANG-BANG-BANG Everyone look worrie when they heard that. Gumball pale at realzen on what going to happen.
"Alright people, you know how this works" Shouted a fingerprint man with a revolver. He was a well known criminal. "Face down wallet and purses out."
"Why would you rob a buffet" Asked an employee. "There's a bank down the street."
All the thief did was laugh. "Please, A packed buffet with families for Sunday dinner and no cops" It was perfectly though out. "Now all the exits are blocked with my men, lets hurry it up." He was telling the truth, the four exits had two iguanas at each door. "Their eyes will be on all of you."
In all of this Gumball never stopped his slow paced walk. The reptiles kept ordering him to stop. This caught everyone's attention." Reaching the door a mean looking iguana grabbed Gumball and pushed him back, but not over. Pulling his gun out toward Gumball's eye level, he shouted.
"Go back to your family" This caused Gumball to look at him."Now right now." He jabbed Gumball in the stomach.
"Family" His voice made everyone uneasy. "They are no family to me." The said family fliche at those words and look down in regret.
Annoyed with his supposed victim, the second iguana aimed his gun towards the Watterson family. "Then you wouldn't mind us making an example of them, would you?" They each aimed a gun at a member of the family, minus Gumball. There was one shot fired, it was so close to Anais' head but not hitting her. He didn't bat an eyelash as she fell to the ground crying. Gumball growl at the fact the try to shot his little sister. Which caught alot of surpise look.
Gumball not fazed by this just shrugged, all he wanted to do was leave. The numbness was eating him up and driving him crazy. As he tried to move around the assailants he heard a cough from behind. The finger print had aimed his gun at him. That didn't stop him, it just changed his direction.
Walking toward the finger print he stopped at arm's reach and stared him in the eyes. With speed surprising the hostage audience he grabbed the hand holding the gun. He didn't try to take, but actually raised it to his own head.
"You want to kill me" Letting the gun go he spread his arms. "Well come on, do it." Walking to a table he stood on it. "Come on, any of you" Turning around he made himself an open target. When it was obvious no one would shoot he jumped down. "Cowards"
"Enough of this" Pointing a gun at Tina an Iguana stated "Either do what we say or we put holes in the T-Rex."
This got a reaction from Gumball, a growl. After a warning shot was fired at her he stopped. He just walked to her and stood there. Tina hadn't said a word. They both knew even through what he was feeling he cared for her. Carrie look kind of jelose but hid it well.
Okay, now that were done with entertainment" He chuckled as if he told a joke. "Your valuables will be nice." Ordering everyone to line up, he went toward the quiet Tina near the end.
Pulling out a bag he began to walk toward everyone with it taking money and other valuables. The thief made sure to frisk everyone to see if they were holding out, some were. His hands were lingering longer on the women. So far he had robbed the seven couples, and six families including the Robinsons, minus rocky and the Wattersons, minus Gumball.
Tina not having any money just stood as he frisked her. Gumball gave him a warning growl as when he though a hand stayed to long. She gave him a grateful look as the thief left.
"Thanks Gumball."
"Anything for you Tina."
The something different happened as they frisked Carrie. Their hands went right through her. It was funny to watch them struggle with her. Their frustration peeked when they realized something. She was a ghost. She had no pockets or even cloths. Everyone said "HA!"
It was Gumball's turn.
"Alright tough guy, hand over your valuables" Not saying anything he emptied his pockets. Showing that he had nothing he presented himself. His frisking was over quickly.
Not liking this he backed up and said. "Put in the hat, jacket, tags and knife." This got a reaction from the Watterson's. Especially from Richard, who was hiding behind his wife and kids like a meat shield.
"You can't." The thief only stared at him daring any attempt to stop him. There was none.
"I'm not doing it" This time it was Gumball who spoke. This guy isn't getting a thing from me.He though while numb. Everyone felt the numbness a little stronger. Which stuock alot of people at the almost broken mind beside Flipy not liking where this going.
Thinking he was all talk an iguana walked up to grab the beret. He was met with a blow to the face. The force behind the hit knocked him to the ground with a broken jaw. He stood up after a moment with a look of hatred.
"Anyone else wanting to try that will get the same." The emotion in his voice was returning. It was dark and bloodthirsty.
Two of the iguanas took a ready position and charged. The first came to punch but only met air as Gumball ducked. Bringing his fist up, he gave the reptile the mother of all upper-cuts. Falling to a heap, the attacker was unconscious.
Turning to the second assailant he never saw the finger print act. Aiming the gun at him he fired. The bullet struck true. Hitting Gumball in the left leg he fell to his knees. He wasn't feeling numb, he was terrified. "No surpise there, It a normal reacten when you get shot." Flipy said as he try to rub the sting away as everyone elese try to do the same thing. Gumball on the other hand try not to scream in pain.
Walking over to the scared cat he reached for the knife. "Why all this?" he gestured "For a stupid outfit?" "The only thing I got from my only family, Granny Jojo." Gumball hisse throught the pain. Tina warp her tiny arms around Gumball in hopes to ease his pain.
Aiming the gun he aimed for Gumball's head. Closing his eyes expecting the worse he heard a loud roar. Opening his eyes he'll wish he hadn't. He saw Tina charging the soon to be murderer. Nodon't. As afraid as he was he was more afraid for his friend.
All Iguanas took fire on her massive form. Even her tough hide couldn't handle it. Tina fell to the ground, she didn't get back up. Blood was spilling out of her like a fountain. He saw that she was still breathing. Ignoring the pain he pushed his way to her.
"Tina get up" He pleaded. "Get up" He started to shake her. "Come on Tina" The shaking became desperate. She opened an eye.
"G-gumball…" She spoke weakly "Don't die" and then closed her eyes.
Then it hit him.
The stress from the whole day
The broken family
Now the death of his friend
It was too much. He felt the barrel in the back of his head. He wanted him to pull the trigger, for it to end.
Don't die.Everyone knew as soon thought words came out that some shit is going down.
But he couldn't.
Reaching for his knife he turned and stood.
He would not die.
Tina said "You better not or Carrie will have you all to her self."
Gumball said "What?"
Tina said "Nothing! So who reading next?"
Flipy raise his hand and said "I will, if something going to happen, like I know it will, Is better for a soilder to read."
Everyone, beside who knew, was confuse. So he took the book and started reading hoping it not true.
