Welcome to yet another story of my own. No I have not forgotten about my others, but I have written this. Why? I have made a writing group on TAWoG , and this is their first collab. Every chapter, I will be displaying the staff members of the group and the one who have written the chapter you are viewing. Today, only I will be writing a chapter, so please enjoy.
Chapter One - The Apple doesn't fall far from the Tree
The Universe contains many things. People, Places, Animals,etc. What we do not, as mere mortals, understand, is how others affect us in both positive and negative ways. Take the Watterson's for example. While the female side of the family has normal solutions to problems, the male's are wild and unresponsible at times, however, they help us learn and grow as others can.
Looking back at this paragraph, you realize it says that I stated that the female side of the family is "average". This is what today's story will be about, How the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Candy ran into the woods of Elmore State Park, fear was in her eyes. She hopped over the rocks and sticks in the ground, and ducked under each branch in her way. She could feel animals brushing against every inch of her body, but right not she did not care. Wait? You want to know why she is running? I guess I should get started on that first.
Young Candy Watterson and Older sister Lexy Watterson were coming back from Penny Fitzgerald's all girl sleepover. It was about 9 AM in the morning and the 2 were filled with excitement from yesterday. Taking their usual shortcut to their house, they reached the alley of the 'Elmore Boys'. The Elmore Boys were a group of school dropouts that hanged around alleys and often caused trouble to people crossing their territory.
"How are we gonna escape them now?", Lexy asked her sister. Candy shrugged as the 2 began crossing the alley.
A few seconds later, the 2 thought they would make it out just fine. However, you can't be too careful in Elmore.
"What are you Scumbags doing in our Terf?", a voice echoed.
The 2 girls looked back to find 'Wild Lary', the leader of the clan standing right behind them.
Lexy was sweating hard, her mouth was moving but there was no sound. She felt so weak it made her wanna just cry. However, Candy had a brave look on her face, and was trying the best to act like her big brother,Gumball, would in this situation.
"What are you doing here?", Candy asked. She smiled. At the corner of her eye, she could see Lexy looking at her like she was stupid.
"This is OUR Terf!", Lary answered.
"Do you have a document to prove it?", Candy said.
"Well...No".
"Then I guess it isn't your terf! Is it now?".
Lary looked like a tomato that was as big as a basketball. He raised his fist in fury as her turned back to a dumpster in the alley.
"And that is how you go against bullies", Candy smiled.
Lexy looked at her with a look of confusion, " You could have got yourself hurt with that big mouth of yours!".
"Well we didn't...", Candy answered.
"What is wrong with you?".
"Im doing would Gumball would do!".
"Gumball has stupid ways out of his problems!".
"You are involved sometimes,too!".
"That's because he is older!".
After a few more blows at each other, the sisters began to walk to Elmore State Park, almost home!
"Hey Lexy?", Candy asked.
"Ya?", Lexy replied.
"Do you hear something?".
The 2 girls looked back to find the Elmore Boys chasing them. With sticks.
"Run...", Lexy managed to mutter as the 2 girls lunged into the forest.

The 2 girls came home with itches and some bruises and cuts that day. And what is the moral? Never be a Watterson and try to talk smart with someone. See you next time!
