Author Note: Part of my birthday present to you guys/
I do not own the Amazing World of Gumball.
Enjoy!
The Elmore police were called in and Nichole had called Richard, who was out doing his exercise while being stalked by women.
All of them arrived in front of the house, twenty minutes later.
"What's going on?" Richard said.
"There are hidden cameras in the house!" Nichole said.
"What?' Richard said, than the Police arrived.
However when they arrived all of them were shocked to be tackled on the floor.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Anais said.
"You have the right to rem-"Doughnut Sheriff began, before one the officers leaned in and said.
"They own this house. We've been here more than once"
Silence.
"Oh" Doughnut Sheriff said, putting his teaser away.
Than they were all released.
"oh, sorry for the mix up" He said.
Not a single person in the Watterson family was smiling.
Now the Watterson actually had the money to sue and were thinking about hiring a lawyer.
"So what seems to be the problem?" Doughnut Sheriff said.
Ch 8: The shocking lack of legal punishment.
They were all in the house and the workers showed the Police, the dozens of tiny cameras they had found.
Seeing so many and so close up increased the shock and creep factor for the Watterson even Richard looked uncomfortable.
Their own home, that was supposed to be safe and private had been subjected to a peep show for who knows how long.
"Mr and Mrs Watterson are you on a reality TV show?" Doughnut Sheriff said.
"OF COURSE NOT!" Nichole Watterson yelled. "Some sick pervert, set up cameras in our own home without us, knowing! And then he sold what he saw for a quick buck!"
She showed the officer the Magazine.
All the officers crowded around.
"So that's the secret to getting a fantastic body" Doughnut Sheriff said.
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" Nichole screaming at them. "I want you all to go over to Press Paparazzi house and arrest him!"
"For what?" Doughnut Sheriff said.
"For breaking a entering" They were surprised to hear it was Richard voice.
"You can arrest him for Illegally setting up cameras without a person's consent or knowledge" He said. "You can also charge him with selling it without the consent, or paying the person a royalty fee"
They were stunned.
"Richard... How do you know that?" Nichole said, voicing all of their thoughts.
"I just did a Crime based Photoshoot recently and it kind of stuck" Richard said. "And Tana in the limo keeps going on and on about trying to make sure I get paid my rightful amount and that they don't display anything that is less than flattering to myself"
They were all stunned.
"Yeah, what dad said!" Gumball said.
"A fully grown man watched when I was asleep" Darwin said.
His statement draw silence.
"You can also add watching and disrupting content that features minors to the list of charges" Nichole said. "He saw my children naked!"
Doughnut Sherriff was about to say something when he saw the pure rage in her eyes and a whimper escaped his lips before he cleared his throat and said. "We're on it, madam"
Than he addressed his squad and said. "Squad! Let's roll out and catch a sick pervert"
They watched as the Police ran out and got into their cars, before driving away.
"What should we do now?" said the worker.
"Carry on with the repairs" she said. "I spent 5 grand on you guys and I'm going to make sure I use you. If there is somebody other than the local mail man who comes here while you work than I want you to drive them away. My whole family will be staying, in a hotel"
Then she turned around and took her family out, thinking it was the end of it.
Richard went to work the next morning and came back 2 days later which was about the time, the repairs were done.
They all walked into the house, eager to get into their rooms.
They could smell the hard work that was put into the house and the floors didn't creak a bit when they stepped on them.
"Everything smells so brand new and polished" Darwin said, in awe.
They want into the kitchen and found that there was no holes in sight, they tried the tap and it was actually working right.
But then Gumball saw something.
It was a Gaint Camera staring through the kitchen window.
"WHAT THE! WHAT!?" He suddenly screamed, they all looked and saw the clear camera outside the window.
They all froze.
"Next scoop. The Watterson family come home to their house, that they just repaired!" Said, a familiar voice that all the kids know.
The three kids began to rightfully scream.
Realizing he had been spotted, Press Paparazzai ran away.
"I'm calling the Police" Nichole said.
The Police came back again but this time, they couldn't put him away because there was no footage of him actually peeping into their home.
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Nichole said, "That guy should be in Prison! Why the hell do you let him roam the streets?"
"That's because Elmore doesn't have a Prison" Doughnut Sheriff said, surprising them all. "Because of the low crime rate this town has, we don't need one. We just let them out on the streets after a couple of days"
The whole family was shocked.
"That explains so much!" Anais said. "The finger print guy should have been in Prison by now"
"So, are you saying... no matter what this man does to us, he's going to end up back on the streets a few days later?" Nichole said.
"That's a frightening way to put it, but yes" Doughnut Sheriff said.
And Nichole turned into a demon, the whole family had to hold her back or she would assault the man and be arrested.
The Doughnut wisely had the brains to run seeing her get terrifyingly stronger and drove far away.
"Maybe, it won't be so bad?" Richard said, "If we just ignore him and be the most boring people. He'll leave us alone"
"Do you really think that would work?" Gumball said, as they all looked at him.
"We can only pray" Richard said.
And so, the plan to be boring got under way.
#The Next Day#
"Dude, what is the most boring plate of cereal you can think of?" Gumball asked Darwin, they were both dressed as boring as possible.
"Oat Meal" Darwin said.
"Then that's what we'll have" Gumball said.
Anais came down to see them having oat meal and she too dressed in her blandest clothes.
"Pass me, the Oat Meal" Anais said, as she took a bowl and began to eat.
In fact, the whole family had oat meal and wore their blandest clothes except for Richard.
They want to work/ school and were incredibly quiet only speaking when spoken to.
It was incredibly weird to those watching.
They eat the blandest food.
They had the blandest conversations.
This went on for a week.
#Elmore Celebrity Kid's Headquarters#
"PAPARRAZZAI!" Said, his boss smacking down the photos, this person was a mint muffin.
Press sat in the chair opposite.
"The photo's you have been given me are boring" Said, his boss. "What little you wrote is boring and nobody wants to read this"
"I'm trying" Press said.
"We'll, then try harder!" Said, his boss. "If they don't do something. I'll take you off the Watterson family and giving you, desk duty!"
He gasped.
He had to do something.
#The Next day#
"Oh... Elmore Celebrity Kids came out today" Gumball said, seeing the group of people reading the magazine.
They were walking down the hall in bland clothes.
However, both boys were stunned when they both got glares.
They both walked into class and got the silent treatment.
"What did we even do!" Darwin said.
Then somebody throw the magazine at Gumball head and it fell on the table on a certain page.
Both Gumball and Darwin eyes were wide.
It was a picture of them on the carpet with their mouths open but in speech marks was basically a conversation smack talking their classmates and the whole school.
Apparently, Gumball had even called his girlfriend Penny, a girl who clings to him because nobody else would find her attractive.
"I NEVER SAID THIS!" Gumball said.
"I only was mean spirited once and I promised to never to go back." Darwin said.
However, nobody listened.
Even Miss Simain who was now bending over backwards for them was giving them a cold hard glare and giving them a pop quiz that the rest of the class, didn't have to do.
It was break time and they were both shunned, their sister Anais rushed to them once more.
"I thought we got rid of him by pretending to be boring!" Darwin said.
Both he and his brother were depressed.
"We forgot one thing" Anais said, "Journalist of this tair, don't always print the truth. If they can't find a story, they'll just make it up." before something darned on her.
"What about Mom?" Anais said, "Surely grown adults don't take this garbage seriously?"
But she had forgotten.
This was Elmore.
When they saw their mother, she was almost in tears.
"My boss could have fired me today!" She said, in the living room. "Apparently, I called him 'Male-trash'. That doesn't even sound like me!"
"We were shunned by the whole school, today" Anais said.
"Somebody throw a brick at me" Richard said, even he was being slandered.
Just then, they all were hit with the blinding flash of a camera light.
"Next scoop. The Watterson, hold a pity party because they can't handle Prep Paparazzi" Said, a voice.
And that did it, for Nichole.
"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" Nichole said, suddenly rushing out the door.
Press was very surprised to see her approaching him, his instincts told him to run so he did.
"MOM! DON'T DO IT!" Anais said, as her, Gumball, Darwin and their father chased after him.
Press got into his car and drive away, he believed he was safe until his eyes widened when he saw she was catching up.
How the?
He stepped on the gas and got further.
Suddenly she disappeared from view.
He was understandably alarmed, but then he heard something.
It was a thump coming from the roof.
Suddenly he saw a demonic blue cat shove her face against the windshield.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Nichole growled.
He screamed and swerved, trying to get her off, which caused him to crash but the airbag softened the blow, however, he wasn't going to wait for her to rip the doors off and come and get him.
Before she could recover, he ran out of the door, feeling the danger behind him.
If he had known that Mrs Watterson was such a sico, he would have been easier on her!
Suddenly he was tackled to the ground and saw the face of evil.
"NiCHOLE, DON'T DO IT!" Richard voice blasted out, managing to get through to her. "What are you teaching the children? To attack somebody for doing their job?"
Nichole managed to pull herself out of it.
However, they were all surprised, when they heard.
"No. Let her do it" Press said.
"Wait. What?" Gumball said, as Nichole got off him.
Press got up and rolled his eyes and said. "You guys are really new to this aren't you? If she hit's me, I can sue her for everything, you all have."
"Huh?" Nichole said. "You can't sue us"
"Correction. Nobody could sue you when you were poor and barely owned anything of value" Press said. "However, your family has been making a boat load of money recently and have brought things of value. With a single punch I can take your money and your possession away!"
"Dude, what is your problem?" Anais said. "Just leave us alone!"
"I'm a trash Paparazzi that's how I make money!" He said, "And never! As long as Richard Watterson is famous, I'll stalk you guys to the end of the earth and make money from it! And do you know why I can do that?"
Everybody shook their heads.
"Because Elmore Police department sucks!" He said, "I'll be out in a few days and doing it all over again. And if by some miracle, you managed to get rid of me, somebody else would just take my place. The higher the exposure, the more people like me come running! Didn't anybody ever tell you that when you make money standing in front of a camera, you attract people like me?" before he got close to all of them and said.
"I'm here to make sure, you all never get a moments peace again!"
Then he turned around having thoroughly scared them and walked away.
They were all silent, until they heard.
"It's all my fault"
They turned to find it was Richard.
"It's all my fault" He said.
"If I didn't sign the Contract, this wouldn't have happened."
He was going to stalk them for the rest of their lives and they could do nothing about it.
And scene!
Next chapter, Richard is depressed and his manager couldn't help but see it. However, she manages to give the family the answer to their problems, but it would have a huge impact on their lives. Review/fav and follow!
