Starting Anew

By: Aero Alpha

Chapter Ten-Get Along

It was raining a storm outside and the moon was shinning bright in the sky. There was an grassy field and a certain grey wolf was trying to run but he couldn't because he was limping. It was Alpha, he looked two years older, 16 and was a mess, his face was somewhat bloody and also had some blood stains on his shirt. Some of the stains were his blood but some others weren't. He tried to run or limp faster but the pain from a broken leg kept him from doing so, as the heavy rain splashes at Alpha and everywhere around him. Someone was following him, that was why he was trying to run. Even though the storm was loud, he could still hear the footsteps after him, so he kept limping away. He kept going and going and going until…he gave out, as he fell to his knees. The person that was chasing him showed up behind.

"It sucks that this had to happen," the voice spoke, standing right behind Alpha.

"but life is unfair and shit happens."

Alpha was breathing heavily and lifted his head up, as he saw someone else in the distance. It was a girl and she gave off a white glow. Alpha sighed in lost hope, because he wished he could have told her of how he felt to her but…it was all too late now, he hung his head down.

The voice behind Alpha started to speak again.

"I guess your time is up," the voice raised up a gun and aim it at Alpha's head, cocking the pistol.

"Goodbye, Alpha." the person said, pulling the trigger.

"NOOOOO!" the girl screamed out, busting into tears, about what she was going to witness.

The gunshot rang throughout the storm…


Alpha sprung up immediately. As he woke up, Alpha then checked himself. It was all just a nightmare… He left out a heavy sigh, relived but still terrified from the nightmare he had. He wiped some sweat droplets that formed on his forehead, got up from his bed and made his way to the bathroom across the hallway to take a shower, in hopes of trying to get the strange nightmare out of his mind. He closed the bathroom door, turned on the shower and hopped in. It made him confused.

'Ugh…what was that all about?'

'Like that voice, who was it? I heard it but I can't recognize it…' Alpha though as he showered.

After the shower was over, he got a towel and started to dry his fur off, as it made his fur puff up. Alpha rolled his eyes in annoyance and took the hair brush, fixing his fur back down and styling his hair to its usual hairstyle. Alpha walked downstairs after getting dressed and went straight for the fridge, getting out an green apple. As he took a bite, making a crunching sound, he saw the time on the clock and notice that he woke up earlier than usual. It was 6:31 and Alpha didn't feel like going back to bed, so he left a note on the fridge, threw away the apple he finished, and went outside. Alpha looked at the sky, the sun was barely rising outside. It was just a little dark, giving Alpha the feel that it seemed like it was five or maybe even 4 o'clock. Alpha then pulled out his phone from his pocket, checking the time as he was making sure that the time in his house was right. It said 6:34. So it was about the right time.

"Weird. Feels like it's earlier." the grey wolf said quietly to himself.

Alpha put his paws in his pockets and started walking to the park.


The park, same place that Alpha fought Tobias and Banana Joe, along with Gumball. Alpha was relaxing under a tree while listening to music. He had been hanging around there for at least half an hour and was feeling much hungry right now, so he got back up on his feet and was planning to go get some grub. Before he was going to leave, he saw an antlered-peanut girl jogging and was approaching up towards him.

"Hey Penny." Alpha waved his hand, taking recognition of her .

"Hi Alpha." She greeted back with a cheerful tune, stopping in front of him.

"How's it going for you." Penny asked as she was stretching out her legs.

"Well, it's going along nicely. How about you?" Alpha replied back

"I'm doing fine. Just exercising this nice morning. Work-outs are good for the body."

"That is good to keep in mind since I do a little bit of kick-boxing." Alpha smiled.

"Really? That's nice. Same like Gumball." Penny thinking about the blue feline, making her blush, showing a light red tint on her face.

"Penny, are you blushing?" the latter asked, he seemed to notice it.

"What?! Of course not!" Penny exclaimed back, trying her best to hide it.

Alpha gave her a strange look before speaking again.

"Okay. Um, anyways, is there a place where I can get a quick bite at?"

"Uh yeah." Penny answered, then pointed towards a building.

"There's a nice little café just down the street."

"Sweet! Thanks. Well, do you want to come with me?" Alpha checking his wallet, seeing that he had twenty dollars.

"Thanks Alpha but I already ate and I need to continue my work-out." She responded.

"So how's Carrie? You guys seem to be great friends since you moved here."

"Carrie? She's great. Never knew she was a different person." Alpha showing a happily smile on his face.

Then in an instant, Carrie appeared out of thin air, teleporting behind Alpha. She tapped his shoulder, almost scarring him half to death.

"You guys were talking about me?" Carrie wondered.

"AHHHHH!" Alpha yelped as he jumped a little. He looked behind him and turned around.

"Huh? Oh, it's just you Carrie. You know I hate it when you do that."

"That's why I like doing that to you." Carrie giggled.

The two of them then shared a quick hug before Alpha spoke once more.

"Since you're here, I was wondering if you want to come with me to a café down the street?"

"Sounds great to me."

"Great! Let's get going. Oh yeah, we'll see you around, later Penny." Alpha walking with Carrie, turning around, waving farewell.

"Bye Penny." Carrie also said.

"Bye you guys, have fun!" Penny happily waved and stood there for a brief moment, then started to continue her jog.

Alpha and Carrie left the area to go to the café.


They walked inside and went to go sit at a booth by the window next to each other and waited. Finally, a waitress showed up.

"Hello you guys, what can I get you to eat this morning?"

"Uh, can I have some eggs and bacon with orange juice." Alpha ordered.

"I'll have some pancakes." the ghost girl told her.

"Okay, I'll be back with your orders." the waitress said as she left.

Alpha and Carrie were waiting for their food quietly for a short bit.

"So I noticed that you're looking quite different today." Alpha told her.

Carrie was wearing a white tank-tops with blue jeans on but what Alpha really like was that she didn't have the skull-clip, having her hair down. Her hair was just past shoulder length and a part of it still covers her left eye.

"You should let her down more often, I really like it." Alpha said.

"You really think so." Carrie told him.

"Yeah, it's really nice. You look cute." Alpha complimented.

"Oh stop it you." Carrie blushed, liking that she would have her hair down.

Alpha started to speak to her, making small talk. For the past five minutes, they were having such a conversation; from how their lives were a few years back to talking about favorite song. Alpha even told her a few joke, some were hilarious and a few were bad but they both made each other laugh.

"So then, he was like 'Ooh! He flaming you like you're on the grill!' ha." Alpha told Carrie.

They both burst out laughing, just not to loud to bother other people in the café. As the two simmer down, the waitress came back with their food.

"Here are your orders. Hope you it enjoy it."

"Thank you." Alpha and Carrie said one after the other as the waitress once again left.

Alpha ate some of his eggs before he glanced at Carrie, noticing that she wasn't eating as she was resting her head on her left hand, looking at her pancakes.

"Hey what's wrong? Why aren't you eating?" Alpha feeling worried.

"Well, I can't physically eat food. I don't have a full body." Carrie explained.

"Wait, you can have a body form with legs but you can't eat?" the wolf question.

"Yeah. The only way I can eat is to posses someone's body for that time to eat."

"Alright, well why don't you use my body then. I'm willing to help a friend out."

Carrie pondered for a moment at what Alpha said.

"Are you sure? I mean I haven't done so for some quite time."

"I'm positive. Besides, I am paying for both of us. I can trust you." he then gave her a caring look.

She still had second thoughts but decided to go with it. He did trust her, so without hesitation, Carrie flew into Alpha's body, having control over it. She ate her pancakes with only little difficulty and after she finished, she jumped back out of Alpha's body with a pleased smile on her face.

"Wow, that was delicious! Thanks Alpha." Carrie then hugged him.

Alpha was glad that she was happy, so he went back to eating his food and once he finished with the last strip of bacon, he went to go pay for the two. Afterwards, he walk Carrie out the door and went to go spend some hours, enjoying each other's company.


It was about one in afternoon, as Alpha and Carrie were laid back on the living room couch. Then there was a knock at the door, prompting Alpha to get up and to open the door.

"They must be here." Alpha opening the door, reveling Gumball standing there with Darwin and Lexy.

"Hey guys, come on in." he said, stepping aside as the trio walked into the Wolfe's residence.

Alpha insisted that they watch a movie, to spend some time. After all of them nodded their heads in agreement, Alpha went to go get a movie and popped it in the movie player. The group were enjoying it.

When the movie was over, Alpha grabbed the remote and turned it off and turned to face his friends.

"Hey you guys, I was wondering to ask you if you want to come with me to the lake?"

"Why is that dude?" Darwin stood up.

"Well, it just that I'm going to see this girl named Carolina over there and want to introduce all of you to her." the grey wolf explained.

Then he started to tell them about Carolina, from when he first meet her at the lake to what happened when he was walking her home. The only things he left out was his feelings towards her and when Carrie showed up, he felt that he didn't need to tell them that.

So how about it?" Alpha finally asked.

"Sure buddy." Gumball first said.

"Yeah, count me in." Darwin chimed in.

Alpha then looked at Lexy.

"I would like to meet her." Lexy stood up.

"Good. What about you Carrie?" Alpha walked up to her as the others faced towards her.

Carrie sat there thinking about it, for some reason, she didn't feel it would be good if she did go but after through some thinking, she agreed to tag along.

"Alright. I'll go tell my mom." Alpha informed them and went up the stairs to his parent's room.

He slowly opened the door and saw his mom on her laptop, so he got her attention.

"Hey mom, my friends and I are gonna go to the lake."

"Okay sweetie, take care." Rose letting him.

Alpha then hugged her and immediately ran down the stairs.

"Let's roll out guys." Alpha exclaimed.

They all walked outside as Lexy spoke up.

"So do you know where to go?"

"I'm sure of where to go." Alpha said, walking down the sidewalk to the left.

"Wrong way!" Everyone told him.

Alpha turned to the other way and walked down to the right.

"Right, I knew that. Just turned around, that's all" he said, making an excuse.

Carrie and Lexy rolled their eyes then followed the rest of the gang to the lake.


The five reached to the lake and kept moving until they found a spot with a lot of shade. They chatted with one another, sharing laughs, and keeping up with the drama that goes around. Alpha's friends were asking questions, getting to know more about him and he like it because it showed that they were great friends. He also liked it because it made all of them more comfortable with each others presence. That didn't just go with Alpha, it also did the same for Lexy and a little bit for Carrie. Gumball and Darwin were always the ones that were quick to get to know well. Besides Alpha, everyone else noticed Carrie's little change and like it as well, as Carrie even told them that she'll be wearing the look from now on. Some time had passed and someone was walking up to the group. Alpha saw her and got up.

"Hi Carolina, glad you showed up." he greeted her as he tail wagged a little bit.

"Hey Alpha, great to see you again. So who are these people?" Carolina asked, looking at the other four.

"Uh, guys, this is Carolina. Carolina, these are my friends." Alpha told her.

The group also got up as they each introduced themselves.

"Hi, I'm Gumball." the blue feline shaking paws.

'Gumball? Weird name.' the white-furred wolf girl thought.

The next person walked up.

"Hiya, I'm Lexy." the pink cat waved eagerly, Carolina waved back.

"Hello! Name's Darwin." the orange fish said.

"Hi Darwin." Carolina greeted in a positive manner.

Lastly, Carrie made her way up to the girl.

"Nice to meet you, I go by Carrie."

"Well nice to meet you too Carrie." Carolina happily said, sticking out her paw.

Now for some strange reason, Carrie didn't want to shake hands, such a weird feeling she had. She didn't really know what it was but after losing the feeling for a moment, she shook hands with Carolina.

"Let's go sit down." Alpha insisted.

Once everyone was settled, Alpha was sitting next to Gumball and was quietly talking to him as Darwin was sharing a story to the group.

"So what do you think of her?" Alpha asked.

"I think Carolina seems like a cool person." Gumball replied.

"That's nice to know."

"Why? Do you like her or something?" Gumball raised an eyebrow.

"Wh-what? No no, that's crazy talk." Alpha taken aback from the question.

"Wait, you do!" Gumball quietly exclaimed, making sure that nobody heard.

"No I don't! Why would you assume that?"

"Well, no one would ask what they think of a person that you just barely met." Gumball reasoned.

"Okay.. Maybe I do. So what?" the grey wolf finally admitted.

"So what?! Dude, she's cute for you Alpha, you sly wolf." he said while nudging Alpha with his elbow.

"Just don't tell anyone else, especially to Carolina." Alpha crossing his arms on his knees.

"Alright, I promise."

"Hey! What are you guys talking about." Carolina wondered, along with the rest of the group.

The two looked up, nervous of what to say.

"We were just talking about nothing important." Alpha weakly chuckled.

Everyone looked at them with questioning but shrugged it off.

"Whatever floats your boat." Darwin told them.

Then they all hanged out for a while, then Alpha brought up something.

"So Carolina, you go to Elmore Academy. Where is it at?"

"Well, why don't I show you guys. Come on." Carolina jumped up and leading the gang to her school.


"Whoa.." Gumball only said.

The group were walking up a street and kept going till they reached upon the main gate that arched the front entrance. In the distance was a huge building, assuming it was the school. It was stories tall like Elmore Jr. High but the structure and the model of Elmore Academy was a bit more modernized and 'rich'. The road goes through the gate and leads up on a hill, where the school building sit, with nicely trimmed hedges and a fountain by it.

"Whoa indeed." Carolina said.

"Classic rich school." Carrie commented.

"Yeah, well that's my school." the white wolf responded.

As the gang were looking, Gumball thought he heard some noise back around the corner, so he decided to go check it out. Alpha then notice that Gumball wasn't with them. He turned away from the rest of them and saw Gumball take a corner of the street, so he went to go follow him. When Alpha walked around the corner, he saw Gumball stand in front of a small ball-like device. Unaware of a certain rainbow humanoid and a yellow fruit's presence, chuckling in hiding, Gumball picked up the device, curious, and shook it a little in front of his face. Alpha looked at Gumball, wondering about the same thing but his thoughts were interrupted when the device made a beep, as a quick bright light flashed at Gumball, causing him to fall down on the floor, passed out. Alpha took note of what happened.

"Oh shit! Gumball!"
