Chapter Text
Today was a warm day. Gumball planned to go to the park with Penny at five o'clock in the evening. Meanwhile, Gumball was sitting in his room, rehearsing.
-Hey Penny! How are ya? What a good day for us! -Gumball said showing his index fingers. -No, sounds stupid. -the cat coughed, put its fist to his mouth, and said another sentence. -Hey beauty! Long time no see babe! -the he sighed -Nah. -then he said another sentence. -Hey Penny! Long time no see! -short pause. -That sounds so corny, but it will do.
Then the phone rang. The cat picked up the phone. It was Penny.
-Hello?
-Hi Gumball! -she said in a cheerful and cute voice
-Oh hey Penny! What's up?
-I'm fine, but we'll have to postpone our walk until seven o'clock in the evening.
-Why?
-I just need to help my mother clean up the attic.
-Oh. Well, I will wait. See ya!
-See ya sweetie!
Then, Penny hung up.
-Oh man. Now I need to wait. Although I have time to prepare now.
Some time later...
It's already 7 PM and Penny was waiting for Gumball at the park gate. And he arrived in time.
-Oh, you're on time this time. -Penny said.
-Yeah. Also, long time no see and... -Gumball wanted to finish the sentence, but he forgot it. -Oh darn it! I ruined it...
-No worries sweetie... -the fairy bent down to the cat and petted him and he began to purr. -Wow, are you purring?
-Yeah... -the cat said kindly, and then he remembered that they had a walk. -Oh I mean... let's just go to the park.
-Ok.
And the couple went to the park. They walked peacefully and chatted among themselves. Then they bought ice cream and ate it
Some time later
It was dark now. Gumball and Penny lay on the grass and looked up at the stars.
-Hey Penny. -Gumball said
-Yeah?
-What do you think, are we in every universe together?
-Hmm... I'm sure it is sweetie. -Penny said gently.
-It's just... Y'know, it's just I think about you sometimes
-He-he, me too. -then the fairy's phone rang. -Yeah? Uh ok. -Penny turned her eyes to Gumball. -My mother said I should go home
-Yeah, me too. Do you need to walk you home?
-Sure!
Gumball walked Penny home.
-That was a good day. -Gumball said. -Maybe we can go to «Dinner» tomorrow?
-Yeah, that's a good idea. -Penny said.
-Alright gotta go, see you tomorrow!
-See ya!
They waved at each other, and Gumball went home.
Meanwhile, Patrick Fitzgerald, Penny's father, was driving home from. He worked so hard.
-Phew, what a day it was. Maybe I should take a vacation? -he said and turned on the radio to listen to music, and Patrick.tried to take his coffee, but he spilled it. -Aw, man!
Gumball was walking across the street, and Patrick didn't see him and hit him. Gumball flew into the windshield and bounced back.
-Huh? -Patrick got out of the car and was shocked. Gumball was on the ground, unconscious. -Oh no! What have I done?! -he looked around, picked up Gumball, put him in his car, and drove to the hospital. There, he approached the secretary with Gumball in his arms. The secretary was sitting at the computer.
-Hey miss! I've got a serious situation here! -Patrick shouted.
-What happened? -the secretary asked and looked at Gumball in his hands. -Oh my god! What happened with him?
-He... uh... -Patrick couldn't tell her that he accidentally hit him, because he didn't want any trouble, so he had to lie. -He was lying... uh... right on the sidewalk..! Like this yeah... please put him to the room! -Patrick was nervous as he spoke every word.
-Alright. -the secretary called the doctors, and they took Gumball to the room on a gurney. -So, is that your kid?
-No, he is not mine...
-What is his name?
-G-Gumball Watterson... -he said nervously.
-Okay, we'll notify his family about the incident. Now you can go.
Patrick left the hospital and got into his car. He was desperate and didn't know what to do -I am screwed. His mother would just kill me! -he put his face against the steering wheel -I am so dead!. -then he tried to calm down -Okay, calm down. I hope they don't find out.
-Then he went to his house.
Meanwhile
Nicole was worried that Gumball had been gone a long time, and it was already 11 PM.
-Where is he? He was supposed to be back an hour ago. He's not even picking up the phone.
-Maybe he's still out with Penny. -Richard said.
-No, he always came back on time. -suddenly the phone rang. Nicole picked up the phone. -Hello?
-Hello, Mrs. Watterson?
-Yes?
-We have bad news about your son.
-Umm.. Excuse me? What do you mean? -Nicole tensed up
-Your son, Gumball Watterson, is in our hospital. He has severe injuries.
-WHAT?!
-Don't worry Miss, he is... -but the cat wouldn't even listen. She was worried about her son.
-We need to go to the hospital, now!
-What happened?
-Our son is at the hospital! Something's happened to him! Get to the car, Richard! -Richard listened to the cat and ran to the car. Nicole herself went up to the second floor to warn the children that they were leaving for a short time. Darwin and Anais were sitting in the room, playing with Daisy the donkey. - Children, we won't be gone for long. We'll be back soon! -her face was worried, and she left the room.
Then Nicole ran to her car and drove to the hospital.
When they got to the hospital, they went to the secretary.
-Hello, may I help you? -the secretary asked.
-Where is my son?! -Nicole shouted in despair.
-Are you Mrs. Watterson?
-Yes Miss!
-He is in 209 room
-Thanks!
The parents ran to the same room. The doctor was coming out, and Nicole pushed him away.
-Hey! -the doctor shouted
Upon entering the room, Nicole was horrified. Her son was lying on a cot, hooked up to an IV, completely bandaged and unconscious.
-GUMBALL! -the eldest cat came up to her son, tears appeared in her eyes. The doctor she had pushed came up to her. -What happened to him doctor?
-I'm afraid it's a difficult case. He has serious injuries and we put him in an induced coma. Someone found him lying on the sidewalk like that.
-Oh gosh... -Nicole said with tears -When will he recover, doctor?
-We not sure, but there is a possibility that he simply may not come out of his coma. To put it easily - he can die.
Hearing these words, Nicole was in despair and sat on her knees. She covered her eyes with her hands and began to sob. -My boy...
-Doctor, please, give me a promise that he will live! -Richard said.
-We can't promise, but we'll try to support his life. -the doctor said
Nicole stood up and looked at her son again.
-Gumball... my boy... -she spoke with tears. -I hope everything will be okay with you...
