Starting Anew

By: AeroAlpha

Chapter Eight-The Girl

Sunday afternoon rolled around as Gumball and Alpha were having a one-on-one basketball game at the park. Gumball had the ball and was dribbling it back and forth, showing off, as Alpha just rolled his eyes at Gumball's taunting. Before Gumball was going to shoot a three-pointer, Alpha ran by and stole the ball back much to the blue cat's confusion.

"What the?" Gumball turned around and saw Alpha heading to the other end, throwing the basketball at the backboard and jumped up to the hoop, grabbing the ball as it bounced back and dunking it in.

"I win this time Gumball!" Alpha told him while holding on to rim.

"Shit, that was just luck." Gumball making an excuse.

"Nah, that was skill." Alpha letting go as he dropped down. He then grabbed the ball and handed it to Gumball as the two left the court and sat at a bench.

"That was good match though." Alpha patting on his friend's back.

"Yeah! That really was." Gumball replied as the two buds high-five each other.

They started talking for a while until they saw Carrie and Lexy walk up towards to the guys.

"So how was the game brother?" Lexy grabbing the ball and bouncing it.

"I lost two and one but I had fun." Gumball answered with a grin.

"Same, I had fun too." Alpha added.

"Well that's a nice way to start the spring break." Carrie smiling.

"Thank cheese we have a two week break. It was about time!" Gumball exclaimed.

The group laughed and Carrie began to spoke towards Alpha.

"Hey Alpha."

"Yeah?" Alpha looking up at his friend.

"Do you mind if you come with me? I want to have a talk." Carrie asked as Alpha stood up.

"Sure." Alpha said eagerly.

Gumball was standing up as he was going to go with them but Carrie stopped him in place.

"This is between me and Alpha only. Sorry you guys." Carrie explained to Gumball and Lexy, grabbing Alpha's arm and pulling him to walk with her.

"It's okay." Lexy said, "We'll just chill here."

"See ya then." Alpha and Carrie said in unison.

Gumball and Lexy were watching the two walking away till they were out of their eyesight.

"She probably likes him." Gumball told his sister out of the blue.

"W-what?" Lexy was surprised at his statement "Well I think you're right. Maybe…"

"So do you want to play basketball right now?" Gumball insisted, grabbing a hold of the ball.

"You're on!" Lexy running to the court as Gumball soon then followed her.


Alpha and Carrie made their way out the park and to Alpha's house. They decided to head towards the backyard as the two went to the side of the place and Alpha opening the gate, letting Carrie into his backyard. The area was somewhat large but there wasn't really much to it, just a shed, some patio chairs, and a blooming peach tree.

"Alright, is it true that you fought Tobias yesterday?" Carrie asking straight forward.

"What a-are you talking-"

"Darwin told me." Carrie told him. He was surprised that she knew.

"Damn it Darwin…" Alpha mumbled to himself.

"How could you Alpha?! I don't want you getting hurt, you know that!" Carrie pacing back and forth.

"Look, Tobias needs to know that to back off and leave us alone." Alpha put his paw on Carrie's shoulder, stopping her in place.

"I know that…but that doesn't mean to fight him."

"I fought him yesterday because him did something that was a bit much to my friend." Alpha said, turning around.

"Well…What did he do?" Carrie asked.


Flashback: Yesterday

P.E. was almost over and the guys were in the boy's locker room, changing out of their gym clothes, and into their usual attire. Most of the students were done changing and left the locker room as there was only a few still in there. Alpha putted on his black shirt and was about to head out but stooped after hearing someone talking around to corner of a locker.

"Hey man, I told you once and I'm going to tell you again. Stay away from Penny, she's MY girl." the person said.

"She's not your girl dude. Ha, and I'm not doing shit what you tell me." the other person said. Alpha's strong hearing picked up the voices and recognized that it was Tobias talking to Gumball. He decided to hide behind the corner and watched.

"Oh shut up, she's not yours either. I don't know what she sees in you more than me." Tobias laying against a locker.

"That I'm not an asshole like you." Gumball putting on his sweater.

After he did, Tobias pushed down before telling Gumball something.

"Get out of here. Why don't you just go and make out with your brother, fag."

Alpha's eyes widened, angered at Tobias insult as Gumball just stood back up and was walking out.

"Whatever. I'm not even going to waste my time with you, dick." Gumball left.

The second Gumball was gone, Alpha walked up to Tobias, much to the rainbow humanoid's surprise. As he confronted him, Alpha spoke up.

"Hey jerk. I didn't like how you where speaking to my friend."

"So? What are you going to about it?" Tobias said, bumping Alpha out of his way with his shoulder, walking towards the door.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson not to pick on my friends, that's what." Alpha replied, making Tobias stay in place.
"Fine. Then meet me at the junkyard later on today." Tobias opening the door, "I bet you wont even show up. Pussy." he added as he left. The wolf clenched both of his fists.

"Alright then…" he said quietly to himself.


"And that's what happened." Alpha finished explaining as he then let out a breath.

"Dang, that asshole. Well at least your not hurt." Carrie patted his back, hard.

"Ouch!" Alpha winced as he felt a quick pain.

"Are you alright?!" Carrie asked before realizing, "Wait." she questioned as she lifted Alpha's shirt up a little, seeing that he had his upper back and his chest bandaged around. All she did was look at him.

"What? It not that bad, I promise." Alpha told her, pulling his shirt back down.

It was quiet for a while before Alpha spoke up once again.

"sigh. Look, I'm really sorry." Alpha rubbing his arm.

"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, I just didn't want you to worry that's all." he told her sincerely.

"Alpha…" Carrie began saying, "I forgive you." she told him as he looked up at her.

"But please tell me first before you do something like that."

"Alright. I will." Alpha replied. "So do you want to head inside and maybe watch a movie?"

"Movie…that sounds nice." Carrie answered, walking with Alpha inside his home, and choosing what movie to watch.


During the movie, Alpha looked at Carrie as she seemed into the movie. He then tapped her shoulder, getting her attention, and started to speak to her quietly.

"What we talked about earlier, was that all you wanted to talk about?" the wolf asked.

"Uh…Yeah. That's pretty much it." Carrie said. She was lying, that was more that she wanted to talk about, like how she expects Alpha would tell her how he feels and vice-versa but decided to hold that topic off till another time. Alpha nodded and continued to watch the movie as Carrie then soon followed, holding off her mind for later.


After the movie was over, Alpha grabbed the remote and turned off the television as Carrie stood up and stretched from being too relaxed on the couch.

"I never thought that movie would ever end." Carrie commented.

"Right, me too." Alpha getting up.

"Well, I had fun." Carrie walking out the front door.

"Same here." Alpha smiled, walking outside with Carrie.

"I should be heading back home now." Carrie told the wolf.

"Alright, I'm gonna go walk at the lake." Alpha closed and locked his door.

"Okay. Later Alpha!" Carrie walking down the sidewalk to her house. Alpha waved back and started to walk to the lake, in the opposite direction from Carrie.


Alpha made it to the lake as the latter was strolling around, kicking some pebbles while thinking about small things in his mind. He felt something was missing but didn't know what was. Well, he does miss his brother but he knows he's doing fine in Twin Peaks, still aware of his brother's condition.

'I hope I get to see Omega again soon.' Alpha thought, sitting on a large rock that was on the border line of the lake, showing a wonderful view. While taking view, Alpha notice a girl a few yards to his right as she was skipping rocks. She seemed to notice that he was looking at her because she went shy and turned around. Alpha decided to talk and get to know her, in hopes of making a friend, so he got up and went to where she was at. A short moment later, he reached the spot. He had a weird feeling inside when she turned back around at him. She was a white wolf, Alpha's height and her hair had bangs with black end tips. She was wearing a black shirt with a white collar and grey shorts.

"H-hi, nice to meet y-you. I'm Alpha Wolfe." Alpha handed out his paw.

"I'm Carolina." the girl giggled, shaking Alpha's paw with hers. "It's a pleasure to meet you Alpha."

When their paws were held together, Alpha and Carolina looked into each other eyes, as he looks at her sweet hazel eyes and her looking at his caring black eyes. They blush a little, pulling back their paws.

"So, not to be weird and all but what are you doing out here?" Alpha asked.

"I should say the same for you." Carolina said, "but to be honest, I came here to just think."

"Same with me." Alpha walked up before the water looking at the view again as the bright yellow-orange glow from the sun glistened off of Alpha's fur.

Carolina stood next to Alpha, doing the same and taking a glance at him while blushing a little.

"So are you from here?" Carolina asked.

"Nah. Moved here from Knoxville. You?" Alpha replied as he let the water touch his toes a little.

"I'm from here, in the Highlands." Carolina looking up in the sky.

"That's nice." Alpha did a little smile. "What school do you go to? I haven't seen you around lately."

"Me? Um, I go to Elmore Academy." Carolina answered.

"Elmore Academy? You mean the school for rich kids?"

"That's what people always tell me."

"Ohh! I didn't mean to offend you." Alpha apologizing.

"It's okay. I usually joke about the school too." Carolina taking a few steps back. "Well do you mind walking with me Alpha? I would like to have company."

"Sure. I'd love you. I MEAN LOVE TO! Alpha mistaken. 'Smooth…' he thought.

Carolina giggled, "Your funny Alpha."

"Thanks." Alpha rubbed his head sheepishly before walking next to Carolina and going to wherever the two went. Alpha was blushing but luckily, Carolina hasn't notice it.

'He's seems like a nice guy' Carolina thought.

Alpha still had that weird feeling, 'She's really cute…but we'll be just good friends.' Alpha thought.

Alpha knew what the weird feeling was. The grey wolf has crush on Carolina.


Alpha and Carolina had entered in the Highlands, a place that had "rich" houses that differ from other houses around Alpha's neighborhood. The two wolfs were talking throughout the walk so far, knowing and getting comfortable with each other. When they were walking on a sidewalk, a car came past by, driving over a puddle and was about to splash Carolina but she didn't get wet. Alpha managed to get in front of her, taking the splash as he was drenched with water.

"Don't worry, it was just rain water. At least it wasn't mud water." Alpha told her.

She did a little laugh about his statement.

"Thanks." Carolina brushing the front stands of Alpha's hair with her hand, sprinkling some water out.

"You're welcome." Alpha smiled.

They continued for a short bit as they reached a well-designed, two-story house.

"Well, this is my place." Carolina informed him as she stood on the steps leading to her front door.

"Thanks for walking with me to my house, I really enjoyed your company Alpha."

"No problem, I enjoyed this time as well. It was really great meeting you Carolina." Alpha putting his hands in his pockets.

"It was great meeting you too." Carolina smiled, making Alpha blush a little as he tried to hide it.

"So do you want hang out at the lake again on Tuesday?" Carolina asked.

"Sure! That'll be nice." Alpha answered.

"I'll see you then. Bye Alpha." Carolina waved as she headed inside.

"Alright, bye." Alpha waving back.

Once she closed the door, Alpha decided to start heading back. As he turned around, he stopped as someone was standing in front of him.

"Oh! Hi Carrie." Alpha said.
