Hey guys! And I am back with chapter six!
And even better, the question will be answered today! I hope you'll be satisfied Spineshocker62645!
Also, thank you guys for the good reviews! Truthfully this is the only story of mine with a lot of reviews, so this is basically one of my popular fanfics.
Quick heads up. This fanfic was before the episode 'The Buddy' took place, so Anais still has no friends here.
Just wanted to let you know before you read.
With that said, onto the chapter! Enjoy!
Previously On this glorious fanfic...
"Oh hey honey.. Did they find the boys yet?" He asked, as he let out a big yawn.
Nicole sighed, knowing he would ask this question.
"Yes.. But Richard there's something you need to understand-"
Before she could finish, Richard made a cry of joy and ran to where she was standing.
His smile quietly turned into a confused frown, as he noticed a figure standing behind Nicole.
He looked at her with a confused, yet concerned look on his face.
Nicole and Anais gave each other a glance, before finally telling Richard the story.
Soon, they finished the story.
Richard looked at the figure again, still concerned, but not as much confused anymore.
Now onto the chapter...
It had been a week since the incident, yet they still couldn't figure out how to fix it.
Since they were still in this state, Gumball/Darwin would quietly go about with their daily schedule, often doing what they would normally do at home, such as playing around, or going on the computer.
However, some of the things they used to do together was pretty difficult now, since they were now basically the same person.
Eventually the rest of the family got used to this, and were not as weirded out or concerned as much as they were before.
But the incident that happened still left a haunting memory, which they all greatly tried to ignore.
It was another day, the sunshine peeking through the window of the bedroom.
Anais woke up, and climbed down the ladder of the bunk bed, as she was getting ready for school.
Bothered by the sounds she was making, Gumball/Darwin woke up sleepily, with an annoyed look on their face.
"Ugh.. Why do you have to make so much noise in the morning..." Gumball said, complaining about the noise.
"Sorry, but I still have school." Anais said, as she went to go brush her teeth.
"Whatever.." He said, as they went back to sleep.
Anais exited the bathroom and went down the stairs, carrying her backpack as she went.
"Good morning, how did you sleep?" Nicole greeted, as she placed some pancakes on the table for her.
"I slept well." Anais replied, as she sat down at the table.
Nicole sat down as well, and drank her coffee.
"Is there anything happening today?" She asked.
Anais shrugged, as she ate her breakfast.
"Just another history test." She said, finishing her meal.
A honk was heard outside, and Anais imedietly went out the door with her bag.
"Have a good day sweetheart!"
Anais went up the bus steps, and sat in the back.
Like usual, nobody sat with her.
Rocky looked out the bus for a second, for anyone else that was coming.
And again like usual that week, nobody else came.
"Are your brothers sick again today?" He asked, as he looked at Anais from the back.
"Uh.. Yeah.. Sick." She replied, not wanting anything to look suspicious.
Rocky looked back forward, and shut the bus doors, as the bus began moving.
Penny turn toward Anais with a concerning look, as that was the same thing she kept saying for the last week.
"Are they really that sick?" She asked, worry on her face.
"Yes.. That sick.." Anais said, trying to end the conversation.
Penny sat back in her seat, with worry still on her mind.
Carrie noticed the hesitance in Anais's sentences, narrowing her eyes in suspition.
Something's up..
Soon the bus arrived at school, and the students went inside the building.
Anais grabbed the books she needed for first class, but was soon stopped by Carrie.
"Hey wait just a second Anais. We need to talk."
"Well what is it?" Anais stood there patiently, letting Carrie continue.
"Ok something's up. You keep using the same sick excuse for at least a week now." She said, with her arms crossed.
Anais sighed, knowing someone would say this sooner or later.
"They're just sick, ok? Look I have to get to my class-"
"Carrie's right Anais, is there something going on?"
Penny was now standing next to Carrie, with concern still on her face.
Anais tried to move past them, but they were blocking her way.
"I really need to get to class." She said, with an annoyed look on her face.
"Anais please, just tell us what's going on.." Penny said, still concerned.
Anais sighed, and finally gave up.
"Fine.. Just go to our house after school.. Then I'll tell you.." She said, hoping that they would accept.
To her relief, Penny and Carrie moved out of her way, and let her head to her class.
"We'll be there." Carrie said, heading to her class as well.
It was now after school, which was time for Anais to tell them.
"I'll be walking home." She said to Rocky, not boarding the bus.
"Ok then." He said.
Anais walked down the sidewalk, preparing what to say when she got there.
She arrived at the house, and noticed Penny and Carrie silently waiting on the porch steps.
Ok.. Here goes nothing..
She went up the steps, and was about to open the door.
"Ok, you want to know?.."
Penny and Carrie nodded, which signified for her to tell them.
"They aren't sick. I lied about it so people wouldn't be suspitious." Anais explained, still having her hand firmly on the knob.
She quietly opened the door, but signaled the two girls to stay where they were.
"I'm home!" She called, poking her head inside.
"Oh hi sweetheart!" Richard greeted.
"Are.. they upstairs?.." Anais asked, a little reluctantly.
"Uh.. Yeah?.." Richard answered, with a bit of confusion on his face.
Anais sighed in relief, and opened the door wider.
"Ok. You can come in now."
Anais came inside, followed by Penny and Carrie.
"Up here." She said, motioning them to follow her up the stairs.
The three quietly went up to the second floor, with Anais in front.
She took hold of the doorknob to the bedroom, and took a deep breath, hoping their reactions wouldn't be too surprising.
Anais opened the door, and poked her head inside yet again, keeping Penny and Carrie from seeing inside.
They heard her whisper something, but they couldn't make out what she said.
Anais looked back at the girls again, with a little bit of nervousness on her face.
"Okay.. Don't freak out or anything.. Ok?"
The girls reluctantly nodded, still confused of why Anais was this nervous.
She opened the door, and led them inside.
Anais stepped out of the way, and geastured her hand to the figure that stood quietly near the window.
"Here, now you know why."
The two stood there for a moment, a look of surprise on their faces.
"Wait.. Gumball? Darwin? Is that you?.."
Penny was utterly confused, but still concerned as well.
"Huh. Freaky." Carrie said, since she was used to this kind of thing back at home.
"But how did this happen?.." Penny asked.
"A creepy crazy mad scientist guy kidnapped us last week, and kind of killed us kind of didn't, and basically long story short this happened."
Gumball explained.
"So.. You're zombies." Carrie said, with a look of 'eh whatever' on her face.
"Maybe? We're not sure yet." Darwin said, as he thought about it.
"Anyway, that's the reason why they weren't in school." Anais said, concluding the explanation.
"Why are you avoiding school anyway?" Penny asked.
"So, you know, people aren't like," Gumball made his voice higher to symbolize the people. "'oh no it's a zombie Frankenstein thing!' or, 'Ahh! monster! Kill it with fire!' you know, the typical movie tropes."
"Oh.. I guess that makes sense." Penny said.
"So.. You guys are ok with this.. Right?.."
Penny and Carrie both nodded in agreement.
"But you do realize none of those tropes actually happen right?" Carrie asked.
"Those tropes do happen though! Remember when Penny came out of her shell?"
"Gumball, nobody said 'kill it with fire' when I came out." Penny said, debunking the tropes as well.
Anais sighed.
"They're right.. We can't just keep denying it forever.. People are going to realize something's up sooner or later.."
"But-"
"Gumball stop. It's no use arguing." Darwin said, quickly cutting him off.
He sighed, and finally gave up.
"Fine.."
"I have to get home.. It's getting late.." Penny said, noticing it was 5:00.
"Me too." Carrie said as well.
The girls exited the house, and went home.
"Let me guess.. We're going to school tomorrow aren't we?.."
Anais nodded.
"Yep." She said.
Gumball sighed.
Tomorrow is going to be interesting.

-Gumball and Darwin are now consolidated together, and are kind of dead, kind of not dead. Kind of like a mix between a zombie and a Frankenstein, but with a brain and stuff.
-Penny and Carrie know about this now, and are ok with it.
