I do not own The Amazing World of Gumball.
Enjoy!
This place was god sent.
It had been a week and yet, none of the Watterson's have heard a peep out of the paparazzi, they had forgotten what it was like to go to bed and not be bombarded with camera flashes.
The bags under their eyes vanished like a lie.
And their new butler was an amazing cook and would do anything they desired.
They had received several gifts from the neighbours and Nichole had learned after the first time, to use Charles to get the door.
And now for the moment, the kids were waiting for.
Showing off their new lives to all of their friends.
Both Gumball and Darwin uploaded a photo of them in their pool and in the middle was Charles serving them drinks with the caption 'Chilling out in our new swimming Pool'.
However, neither of them could predict the reaction they would get when they pressed send.
Suddenly there was more than a dozen comments on their photo.
"What the flip!" Gumball said, "Why are there so many comments on this one photo!? Whenever we load stuff, we are lucky to get 2 comments!"
But it looked like everybody they know on Elmore plus was giving them a thumbs up and commenting.
Even Miss Simian had liked their photo!
And then something happened, there was suddenly a sound coming from the screen and digital envelope was opened up on it.
Darwin began to read.
"Congratulation's the holder of this account, you have met the requirements, to be on Elmore Plus Rich kid's list. If you so wish, your account may be exposed to a much bigger pool of people that are beyond even Elmore. Advertiser, may also wish to contact you in hopes of you posing with their product in which you will be paid handsomely. Do you wish this to happen?"
Then there was a 'yes' or 'no' option.
When Darwin had finished reading it, they were both in shock with their mouth's opened.
Wait.
Did that mean they could get dozens of followers like Masami?
"So, you guys received it as well?" Anais said, suddenly startling them from out of nowhere. "I upload a picture of myself just sunbathing with the house in view and the message came up"
"And what did you do?" Gumball said.
"Pressed, yes. I now have over 20,000 followers" Anais said, shocking them. "And people begging to be my friend. I don't even care about making friends from Elmore anymore"
Both Gumball and Darwin gasped.
"If you press 'yes'" Anais said. "You will be confirming to everybody in your circle of friends that your life is better than theirs and somebody jealous, will always dislike your photos"
"But we do that." Darwin said, gasping.
"Press it and somebody else will do that to you" Anais said, before saying. "Join, the circle and nobody would ever call you a loser ever again. People will wish they were you."
Both Gumball and Darwin turned.
And thought hard.
This was the chance to be exactly seen as cool in the eyes of the peers, they could finally shake the image of being losers.
So, they clicked yes.
The universe shifted and their account was made available to the rest of the world.
Ch 11: School uniforms arrive.
"Excuse, Mistress Nichole" Said, Charles, their butler.
She was in their brand-new kitchen that she was happy to see had real products in.
"Yes, Charles?" She said.
"Thress packages came for Young Master, Darwin, Gumball and young Mistress Anais" He said, showing her and she saw that, the package was so nicely wrapped and had the symbol of a phoenix engraved in it.
She recognised it.
It was the symbol for the private school that she had enrolled her kid's in, it was the first time she had to pay for a school uniform.
It was 500 dollars per uniform and she had to give the school the measurements.
It was made worse by the fact, she had to buy more than one of everything.
Just touching it, she could feel the difference in quality to the clothes they used to wear.
"Charles, can you give each of these to my children by name please and tell them I would like to see them downstairs in that uniform" She said.
"Of course, Mistress" Charles said, before going upstairs and politely knocking on each of their rooms.
All the kids were excited when they saw that their uniforms had come and did not waste any time putting them on and Charles packed neatly the pieces that they did not use.
"Dude. How do I look?" Gumball said, he wore a white shirt with a red tie, over that was forest green jacket with a phenix on the chest and forest green pants and expensive black shoes.
"You look like one of the people who would pretend that our old school did not exist" Darwin said, before saying. "And me?"
Darwin was wearing a forest green trouser and on it was the emblem of a phoenix on it, he wore black expensive shoes, around his neck was a red tie.
"A rich snobby fish who grow leg's and lived in a big house like this one" Gumball said, making Darwin look sad. "Darwin, you're going to have to put in a lot of work so that people don't think your douchy"
"Work, that I'm more than happy to do" Darwin said, then they both got a notification.
Anais had just updated her Elmore Plus account with a new photo.
They saw her take a picture of herself striking a cute pose in her school uniform, unlike them, she had a checked green skirt instead of pants and cute black shoes with a white flower on.
She already had a ton of likes.
"Should we pose too, now that we're no longer loser's?" Gumball said.
"Let's.'" Darwin said.
And both of them got into a suitable pose before uploading the photo onto the Elmore Plus account with the caption. 'Me and bro's new private school uniforms. What do you think?' before hitting send.
They got the most likes they had ever seen in their lives and tones more people were following them as well.
"Hold on, let me edit my profile" Gumball said, and Darwin watched as he put.
'Gumball Watterson and Darwin Watterson, children of Model Richard Watterson'
Darwin eyebrow rose.
"Just in case, people start asking how we can afford this lifestyle" Gumball said, as both of them walked out and joined their sister in the kitchen.
Nichole started to cry when she saw them.
"M-Mom, are you okay?" Anais said.
"I'm fine" She said, as Charles handed her a napkin. "I just spent so long just wishing I could send you three to a good school. Every day it hurt, just knowing you were getting your education from that place. And now that it's finally happening...I'm just so overwhelmed." she was handed another fresh napkin.
All three looked at each other.
"Please, turn, so I can see each of you" She said, and then they did.
Even though she gave up her dreams for her kid's, what she really wanted to be able to do was provide the very best for her children, so that they can grow up to be success and she can brag about them when she was old.
The used Napkin's were rightfully disposed of.
"Kids...I've decided" She said, "We're not getting you just regular bags to keep your stuff in but Gucci bag's and I'm hiring a chafer. I want you to walk through those doors with your head held high"
All three of them smiled.
And then they discussed what to wear in subjects like PE or swimming.
This time, they had to think about appearance a lot and had to go out shopping.
Unlike Elmore, there were shops that were way more expensive priced than the one they went to and a thousand dollars spending money would be met with a mere bat of the eye instead of the huge reaction they got in Elmore.
It was certainly the first time in a while, that they actively avoided a certain section of the mall because it was way too expensive.
Both Gumball and Darwin soon know what a 2,000 dollars swimming trunk felt like and one that was custom made, they soon know what it was like to have sportswear that cost more than a laptop.
Anais was introduced to a Daisy swimsuit that cost 700 dollars and if she wanted diamonds on it, it would cost an extra 300 hundred.
She was also introduced to sportswear and everything amounted to a little bit over 10,000 dollars.
They were spending an amount that would have caused their mother to have a heart attack but now she was fine.
When Richard came back from his morning jog, he found Nichole on the phone talking.
"I just want you to drive them around for a whole school year" She said, before her eyes widen and she screamed. "50,000 FOR A WHOLE YEAR!?"
She had called these people up, because her neighbours had recommended them, she didn't expect them to be so expensive.
She could bat an eye at a grand or 10 grand but when the cost was half of their bank account, that's when her hearts starts to race.
"Yes, I know that the other's children who go to the school use your service" Nichole said, "We were recommended by a neighbour and yes, word of mouth is more important than checking online"
However, 50,000 just for transportation was too much.
Then she heard.
"It's our cheapest offer. Our most expensive is 2 million for the whole year"
"2 M-" She began.
"Nichole, please calm down" Richard said, rubbing her back and he watched as she began to relax.
"I'm calm..." She said, breathing in and saying. "Can we have the 50, 000 one?" just saying it was like watching their bank account get emptied before her very eyes.
However, she wanted her kids to arrive just like the rest.
As long as Richard kept making money, it would be refilled back up again.
She felt a bit of shame, knowing that the family could only afford the cheapest one, hopefully it was too bad.
She did not know that in this society, the price of the chafer was a form of status.
And then the morning, that they would have the first day of school, arrived.
"Charles, this food is amazing" Richard said, eating pancakes.
"Thank you, Master Richard" Charles said.
The whole family sat around a large transparent table and ate an English breakfast.
Charles looked out of the window and saw a black expensive looking car pull up.
"Master Richard and Mistress Nichole" He said, "The chafer for your kids have arrived"
And that was all Gumball, Darwin and Anais needed to know before they grabbed their much more expensive bag's, that was filled with school books that they had to pay for and their wallets which were stuffed with hundred dollars bills.
When they walked outside, they were stunned to see a far nicer car than they had and were stunned to see the driver get out of the car and opened the car door for them with a bow.
They could see the soft leather seats from here.
They honestly could not believe it, as they began to walk in and sat on them, they saw a television inside the car and a mini refrigerator!
It was like they were living inside a mini limo.
So, the price wasn't a complete rip off, after all.
The only reason why the car was allowed through the gates was because the guards were familiar with the company.
"Have a nice day, Kid's" Nichole said and the car window was rolled down so that they could all wave back.
Than the car left and almost immediately a limousine pulled up and took its place.
Tana got out of the door.
"And that would be my ride" Richard said before giving Nicole a kiss on the lips before going to join Tana in the car.
Nichole gave him a wave before the vehicle drove off and she want back into the house.
So much had changed and she felt like everything was great again.
However, reality was about to slap her in the face.
"Mistress Nichole" Charles said, suddenly appearing with the phone that was linked to the guard desk.
"Yes, Charles?" She said.
"The guards want your approval on two people who suddenly showed up" He said, much to her confusion. "They claim to know you"
She took the phone and said. "Hello?"
"Hello, Mrs Watterson." Said, the person on the other end which she recognised as one of the guards. "There are two people at the gates, demanding to speak with you. Apparently, they say you know them"
"2 People?" She said, "What's their name?"
However, when she heard the two names, she almost went into shock.
"They say their names are Daniel Senicourt and Mary Senicourt"
Those were the names of her parents...here parents were here.
And scene!
Next chapter, it's the first day the Watterson kid's go through Private school and they are shocked by the different it is compared to Elmore Elementary School. Review/fav and follow!
