Starting Anew
By: AeroAlpha
Chapter Seven-Round Three
Gumball and Darwin were rushing to get ready for school. Darwin was pouring cereal in Gumball's mouth and the same for himself as Gumball was pouring the milk. That was their way of eating breakfast quickly. Once finished, they started to run out but before they headed out the door, the duo realized something. They were wearing underwear over their pants.
"Why do you have underwear on?! You don't even wear pant." Gumball question him.
"Oh yeah…duh." Darwin replied as he took it off. Gumball did the same, since that he has his own, under his pants of course. They made sure that things were right and after done checking, they ran out the door to their bus stop.
As they were heading to the bus stop, they saw Alpha talking with Lexy.
"I couldn't help but smile, they were happier than usual yesterday when I came home." the light grey wolf was telling Lexy about his parents.
"That's sweet. Hey, here comes my brother." Lexy told Alpha, which made him turn around and look. They were tired from the running and Gumball was catching his breath before he spoke.
"Thank…the cheese…that we made it…and…still the…bus being…late. Whooo!"
"Uh Gumball," Alpha said, getting the duo's attention as he continued, "The bus not actually late, you guys are kinda early like us."
After Gumball and Darwin heard what their friend had just told them, the two just face palmed in wasting time to get ready like idiots. The four of them waited for the bus to show up and got on when it eventually did. Gumball, Darwin, and Lexy headed towards to the back and sat there while Alpha went to go sit with Carrie as he has been for the past few days. Carrie always enjoys his company, she feels that he would get most things she tell him and the same goes for Alpha. The two strike up a conversation as the bus starts to drive the students to school.
'This is soooooooooooooooo boring' Alpha said in his thoughts as he tried to keep himself from falling asleep in Ms. Simian's class. The old baboon was lecturing about the 1620's and while she was talking, facing the board, Alpha took a quick glance around the classroom and noticing that everyone but himself was asleep.
'I guess everyone had the same thought…' Alpha remarked in his head as he took out a piece of paper and started to draw. Gumball's body cover the view to see what Alpha was doing and Alpha thank Gumball about that. Alpha continued drawing until the ball rang, waking up everyone that was sleeping.
"Alright class, that's all for today. Don't forget, the quiz is tomorrow." Ms. Simian announced as most students were heading for lunch, mumbling about how boring it was in the classroom.
"Especially you two, Gumball and Darwin." she added as she glared to the duo, making them nervous. Alpha just shrugged as he walked past by them.
"Why does she always do that? I mean, it's not like I did anything to her." Gumball asking Darwin. They were at their lunch table, then a quick flash of memories of his past with Ms. Simian showed up in his though. When Gumball came back to his senses, he realized it.
"Oooooohhhh." Gumball said to himself as Alpha came by and sat his lunch down and started eating. Alpha sits with Gumball and Darwin while Lexy and Carrie sit at a table along with Penny and Leslie. As Alpha was eating, he had a puzzling face when he was looking at Penny and Leslie.
"So how are Penny and Leslie cousins? I don't get that." the wolf asked.
"I don't' know, but Gumball and I found out the hard way, right Gumball?" Darwin told him.
"Uh huh, yeah, right…whatever." Gumball said, not paying attention since he been looking at Penny all lovely. Alpha and Darwin noticed this and shook Gumball back to normal. When they did so, Tobias walked by and faced towards the three.
"Hey loser, quit looking at my girl."
"She not your girl Tobias, in fact, Penny doesn't like you ever since you been an asshole from last year." Gumball talking back at him.
"She will be mine on day Gumball. So why do you three morons do me a favor and shut it."
"Alright dude. Why don't you just keep walking? We don't have to go through this again." Alpha warned Tobias as he stood up from his seat, trying to let go of the tension between the two.
"Fine. Only because I don't' have time to waste with you." Tobias said as he kept walking to his table with Banana Joe. When he sat down, Tobias and Alpha was shooting glares at each other for a short moment till Darwin put his flipper on Alpha's should and prompting him to sit back down and continued eating. The girls and Leslie saw the whole thing, as the girls were somewhat worried if things got out of hand, Carrie and Penny were the most worried. They kept eating, hoping the day might not go bad if Gumball and Alpha manage to run into Tobias. Alpha usually is one of those people that give anyone a chance to try and be friends with. In truth, Alpha doesn't hate Tobias personally but because Tobias mistreat and insult him and his friends. The wolf would stand up and back his friends up, to teach those who bully without a good reason, a lesson. It's a part of who he is.
After school was over for the day, Gumball and Darwin were putting stuff in their lockers and something was a bit off, Gumball seemed to notice it first.
"Hey Darwin?" the blue cat said.
"Yeah." Darwin answered.
"Where is Alpha?
"I don't' really know."
They were looking around the hallways and saw some of their fellow classmates, except Alpha.
"Strange." Gumball said, confused.
"Maybe he decided to quickly head home." Darwin suggested.
"Probably."
Lexy showed up and walked towards the two.
"Hey, you guys ready? Time to go home you know." she told her brothers.
"Huh? Oh yeah, we're ready." Gumball said.
Then the three of them walk out the school building and made a straight path to their house.
Gumball was watching television with his dad, Richard, while Darwin was upstairs on the computer. Gumball was just sitting then as Richard then notice something about him.
"Hey son, where's that buddy of your's? The pink bunny wondered.
"You mean Alpha? He's probably at his house." Gumball replied.
"Then why don't you and Darwin head over there? You seemed bored for the past three hours."
"Oh yeah! You're right…Pffft, why didn't I think of that." Gumball told himself as he raced up the stairs, and opening the door.
"Dude, dude, dude. Let's go over at Alpha's house right now. He might be bored out of his mind."
"Sure!" Darwin agreed, "I was getting bored anyways." as he hopped off the chair from the computer and ran with Gumball downstairs and went out front door, going to the Wolfe's residence.
"Aahh. I'm so smart." was all that Richard said, proud of himself.
When the duo reached to Alpha's front door, Gumball rang the doorbell. Gumball and Darwin were expecting Alpha to open up, but it turned out to be Alpha's mom, Rose.
"Hello boys, what can I do for you?"
"Where here to see Alpha." Darwin spoke up.
"Oh I'm sorry. Alpha isn't here. He came and left like half a hour ago, saying he was going somewhere."
"Alright. Well thanks anyways Mrs. Wolfe." Gumball said, as he was hoping that Alpha would be here.
"No problem." Rose closed the door as Gumball and Darwin turned around and headed down the sidewalk. Walking for a short moment, they managed to run into a certain balloon.
"Oh sorry about guys." the balloon apologized.
"It cool Alan." Gumball told him, then thought about something, and faced Alan.
"Have you seen Alpha?"
"Ummm. Yeah, I saw him at the junkyard, along with Tobias.
"Shit. Come on Darwin, that can't be good." Gumball was telling the fish as the two sprinted towards the junkyard.
It was a long run, but they managed to reach the junkyard. The sun was setting away, as the night started to show up. Gumball and Darwin knew that they don't have much time before things can go out of hand with Alpha and Tobias. As they were searching, they heard a commotion going on so the two decided to follow where it was at. Where it took them was a circle area with junked up cars and a huge container surrounding the spot with clear view of the place. The found Alpha wearing a black hoodie with two yellow buttons instead of his black shirt, fighting Tobias in there.
Tobias grabbed a hold of Alpha and tossed him to the huge container behind him. Alpha made impact with it, as it hurt really badly. The wolf got up, elbowed Tobias to the stomach and lifted him up, doing a power bomb on Tobias. When Tobias hit the ground, Alpha stood up and tried to kick Tobias in the face but his foot was caught and pulled, making him fall down. Tobias immediately got on his feet and picked Alpha off the ground, then grabbed his collar, as he kept punching his face a few times until Alpha managed to push Tobias away from him.
"You piece of shit!" Alpha said in anger as he threw a heavy punch, hitting Tobias. The rainbow color humanoid stumbled back and was grabbed by Alpha, getting tossed to a nearby car and cracking the front windshield that was still attached to it. Tobias was hurt from that throw but still got up and kept at it, punching Alpha to the chest multiply times as Alpha punched him in the shoulder, then Tobias kicked him to the ribs with a side kick. The two were battling it out as Gumball and Darwin were thinking about going in there to help Alpha out but they didn't want to interfere. Tobias grabbed Alpha's neck, pushed him back up against the container, and used his other fist, punching Alpha four times to his cheek. Tobias let go of Alpha as the wolf stumbled forwards.
"Alpha! We're over here!" Gumball shouted, making Alpha look at his direction. When he did so, Tobias picked up a small wooden plank and strike at Alpha's back when the latter was unguarded. Alpha winced in pain as he fell down to the ground. Gumball and Darwin were shocked and headed towards Alpha and as they did, Tobias took notice and kicked Alpha in the side as he wiped blood from his nose before taking off.
Gumball and Darwin climbed over a car and went up to Alpha. They checked if he was okay and luckily for them, he was but was injured. Alpha was able to stand up but stumbled until Gumball and Darwin supported him as Alpha put his arms around them, to help himself. Once ready, the three began to get out of the area and out the junkyard.
On their way heading to Alpha's house, Alpha was now walking without support. With only two blocks to go, Gumball and Alpha were walking ahead until they notice that Darwin wasn't with them. Darwin was a couple feet away from the other two and saw a girl picking up some books. Wanting to help, he went over there. As he showed up to the girl, he picked up some books and helped her up. When she stood up, Darwin froze in place as he took a look the girl. She was a light blue dolphin and is tall as Darwin with a white small dress with red low-tops, along with black glasses and a little flower to the side.
"Thank you." she said.
'Man…she has a sweet voice…' Darwin thought.
"Um…hello?" the dolphin asked as she waved her flipper in front of Darwin's face, checking if he was alright.
"Wh-what? Oh, you're welcome." the fish said as he sticks out his fin, "I'm Darwin. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet as well. My name is Sky."
"So Sky, what are you doing out here?" Darwin question.
"Oh! I was at my Aunt's house while my dad was finishing moving in the house. I'm new here." Sky answered, fixing her glasses a little bit.
"Then welcome to Elmore! I hope your time here will be great." Darwin told her in a happy tone. Sky giggles as she talks.
"Well great to be here. I guess I should get going now. It was nice meeting you Darwin." Sky saying as she headed to were she had to go.
"Alright. Nice meeting you too!" Darwin waved while she began walking home.
Gumball and Alpha saw the entire thing and when Darwin came back, they just snickered at him.
"What?" Darwin wondered.
"You like her." Alpha said straight out.
"You mean Sky? Pfft… what? You guys are crazy." Darwin told them, denying Alpha's statement.
"Yeah right! You totally like her." Gumball spoke out.
"Shut up."
"Alright that's enough. I gotta head home. My back and face is killing me." Alpha said, ending it.
"Fine. Let's go." Gumball saying as the three of them began walking to their homes.
'I hope I see her again.' Darwin thought.
'I hope Carrie doesn't freak out if she knew what happened to me.' Alpha thought.
'This day was whack…' Gumball thought.
