Hey guys! And here is chapter seven!

By the way.. I know the name of this chapter is weird.. But I REALLY wanted to reference that song by Skillet. (Probably because the word freak and freak show are mentioned a few times in this chapter.)

Sorry!

Anyway, the wait is over! So onto the chapter!

Previously on this chapter...

"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.

It was the next day, which meant the day for them to go back to school.

"So you're sure you want to go?.."

Nicole was sitting at the table, with a cup of coffee in her hand.

Gumball/Darwin slowly nodded, still uncertain if it was the right choice.

Anais sat at the table as well, with her bag ready to go.

To help ease their worry, Nicole stood up and grabbed the car keys.

"I can take you there if you want.. If you don't want to ride the bus.."

"Yes definitely!"

Nicole pulled up into a parking space, unfortunately right smack in front of the school entrance.

"Have a good day kids.."

Gumball/Darwin grabbed onto the car door handle, worry still present on their face.

Are you ready?

Yep..

They finally opened the door, and quietly, yet nervously, stepped out of the car.

Some students that were walking in looked over at them in surprise, but continued on with their schedule.

However, it was inside where the staring began.

Students watched them in the halls, with looks of surprise, some even whispering to others.

Oh crud they're staring at us!..

Relax.. I'm sure its fine.. Just ignore it..

Once arriving at their lockers, Gumball/Darwin began to plan what to do, since now that they were consolidated together, they couldn't take both of what they needed for class.

Okay.. So how is this going to work?..

Hm.. Maybe.. Take something I have, then something you have?

Yeah that sounds good.

Going along with their plan, they decided that one of them does one thing, then the other does the other thing.

As soon as they stepped into the classroom, students began to stare at them again, which made them nervous once again.

Miss Simian sat at her desk, not aware of them, as she sipped her coffee from her 'I love myself' mug.

"Good morning class. Now take your seats for attendance." She said, with a scowl on her face.

Wait a second! Which seat?!

Gumball calm down.. How about we go with that plan? We take your seat this class, then take my seat next class, and so on.

Oh. Well.. Okay I guess that's fine.

Following with their plan yet again, they sat in Gumball's usual seat, as Miss Simian continued attendance.

"Molly."

"Present."

"Bobert."

"Here in my seat."

"Carrie."

"Whatever.."

"Tobias."

"Uh.. Yeah.."

Tobias was a little freaked out by the two, since their unnatural glowing white eyes were a bit unnerving for him.

"Watterson."

"Uh.. Here?.."

Miss Simian looked up from her attendance chart, and looked over at the two, with a raised eyebrow.

"Halloween much?" She had a sarcastic tone in her voice, thinking that it was just Gumball dressed up as something.

"We're.. Not wearing a costume.."

Sipping her coffee, she squinted her eyes a bit, getting a better look at them.

"Hm." She looked back at her attendance chart, still unaware of it.

"Other Watterson."

"Here?..."

She scowled, and looked back up again.

"Is this some kind of joke?"

They quickly shook their head no, with some worry present on their face.

"Why do I even bother.." Miss Simian just went back to looking at the chart again.

The rest of the day mostly repeated like this.

The teacher would call out one of them, and then it would get confusing from there.

However, it came time for lunch.

So.. What now?

Hm.. Well.. I have no idea. Maybe just skip lunch?..

And starve? No way.

But it's not like we can go sit with someone, remember?

Uh.. We have Penny and Carrie.. Plus Anais if we're lucky.. Does that count?

Well.. I guess it counts..

You know what screw it. Let's just see how it goes..

Stepping into the lunchroom, some students stared at them once again.

Gumball/Darwin went into the line, nervousness on their face.

I don't think I've ever been this quiet before..

Yeah.. Me neither..

Should we just talk, like you know, not in our thoughts?

Eh.. I don't know.. It might be weird for everyone else..

Yeah.. I guess you have a point..

Getting their food, they sat by a table a bit far away from the rest, being cautious on anything.

"So?.."

They flinched, startled by the voice.

Anais stood there patiently, holding a tray in her hands.

"Has everything been going okay?" She asked, as she sat down beside them.

"Well... Kind of?.. It's a little complicated.." Gumball said, not sure on the day either.

"Let me guess, the teachers were getting confused?"

They nodded.

"Yeah.. Every class has been like that where the teacher looks at the chart, calls one of our names, and when one of us responds, they get confused." Darwin answered.

Anais looked at her food, which looked disgusting, and pushed it aside.

"Nobody said anything mean, right?"

"Uh.. No.. Nobody's really said anything to us at all.."

Before Anais could say anything, she was interrupted by some kids laughing, or more or less, the mean kids.

"Hah! Hey guys, get a load of the freak show over here!" Jamie said, laughing meanly, as she looked at her 'friends'.

Anais sighed, knowing someone would probably be doing this sooner or later.

"Just ignore them guys." She said, getting her brothers' attention away from Jamie.

"Hey freak! Why ya look like a doll huh?" Jamie taunted, noticing that they did kind of look like some type of living doll.

"Jamie just leave them alone okay?!"

Anais glared at the half cow half troglodyte, trying her best to stand up to the bully.

"What are you going to do about it?" Jamie sneered.

"Anais.. You really don't have to do this.. It's Jamie remember?... She'll punch your eye sockets out if you mess with her.." Gumball whispered, trying to persuade Anais.

"Come on! Whatcha gonna do huh?"

"I... Uh.."

Anais thought, realizing she really didn't know what she was going to do.

"Just as I thought."

Jamie snickered, as she and her 'friends' left the cafeteria.

Anais watched them leave, with a bit of regret on her face.

"I never should of done anything..."

"It's okay, at least you tried to stand up to her, right?" Darwin said, trying to reassure her.

The teasing didn't stop there.

It seemed to only get worse, as some other kids were starting to get in on the act as well.

However, that wasn't the only thing.

Gumball/Darwin entered the next class, getting the same looks from others.

But some other students, such as Jamie, snickered, and whispered to one another quietly.

Oh no.. This isn't a good sign...

Yeah... I have a feeling something's going to happen soon...

And just like that, they were correct.

The mean kids began to taunt and laugh, calling them names as well.

"Freak!"

"Zombie!"

Freak was mostly used in the name calling, but new ones such as Zombie often came up as well.

Soon the mean kids cornered Gumball/Darwin to the wall, still doing the name calling.

"Hm.. I need some proof if it's a zombie!" Jamie said, as she was getting closer.

Before they could react, Jamie grabbed them by the right arm, and forcefully tugged.

To their horror, the bandages and stitches tore away, as Jamie ripped their arm clean off, letting it fall to the ground with a thud.

"I was right then! They really are a zombie!" She declared, smirking as she did.

In panic and horror, Gumball/Darwin tried to put the arm back as quickly as they could, but the stitches would not go back in.

The mean kids continued to laugh, still taunting and calling them names.

DO SOMETHING!

I can't! I don't know WHAT to do!

The laughing and taunting continued, Jamie being front in center of the crowd.

Soon, it was finally the last straw.

"SHUT UP!"

Jamie's eyes widened, as she received a punch to the face, making her fall to the ground, pain circulating all over her face.

"Oooh..."

The other kids were pretty shocked by this, since pretty much nobody has ever punched Jamie like that before.

"What's going on in here?!"

Miss Simian arrived in the classroom, a scowl on her face.

Noticing Jamie, she became miffed.

"Who punched her?!"

All of the kids pointed at Gumball/Darwin, who grabbed their severed arm and ran out of the room with panic.

"WATTERSONS GET BACK HERE!"

Why did you do that?!

You said to do something I don't know! The name calling was getting to me!

Well what are we going to do now then?! Miss Simian's probably chasing after us!

They looked behind them, seeing Miss Simian was indeed running after them.

"GET BACK HERE!"

They quickly ran into the storage closet, putting the door in lock mode.

Miss Simian banged on the door, getting angrier.

"YOU CAN'T HIDE IN THERE FOREVER!"

She walked down to the janitor's, so she could get the key to the closet.

Soon Miss Simian eventually caught them, and consequences happened.

AFTER SCHOOL.

"So.. How was your day?.." Nicole asked, hesitant on the sentence.

"Uh... It was fine.."

"Really? It sounds like something happened."

"We punched Jamie in the face."

"Darwin! I thought you promised we wouldn't say anything!"

"Sorry.."

"Wait, you punched someone?..."

Nicole had an angry expression on her face.

"Any reason why?" Anais asked.

"It wasn't our fault! Jamie started it! She was making fun of us, calling us names, and she even tore our arm off!" Gumball said, lifting up the severed arm a little so they could see.

Anais sighed, knowing she would have to stitch it back on once they got home.

"That's still no excuse to punch someone!"

"Well how would you feel if you were the one being called a zombie freak show thing?!"

After that sentence was made, it grew quiet in the car, as the four, technically four, arrived at home.

And there is chapter seven! I had a LOT of writer's block yet again for this chapter, since I was still figuring out what to do for the school situation.

Anyway, let me know what you think! Was it good?

With that said, see you in the next chapter in 2019! (Happy new year!)

INFO

-Creepy mad scientist Gregory Gilson is dead. A shelf fell onto him in chapter three.

-Since being consolidated together, Gumball and Darwin can hear each other's thoughts.

-QUICK NOTE! I changed the character design for the ears. Now the bottom part is blue, and the top is orange, and of course is stitched.

I just wanted to make that clear in case you're confused of why the design's a bit different in the new cover art.

-If you want to see the cover arts, or basically just the art for this story, then visit my DeviantArt at ImaginationStudios8.

-Proven in this chapter, any part of Gumball/Darwin can come off, either being torn off, or just fall off. But it can be instantly restitched back on. Also, quick note, when a limb falls off, Gumball/Darwin won't feel any pain from it. BUT, they can still feel pain normally for any other things, like I don't know, getting cut in the leg or something.

END OF INFO.

Chapter eight: COMING SOON IN 2019 JANUARY. (Maybe January if I have no writer's block.)
