Chapter 1:One Year Later

It has been one year... one year since Gumball has seen His family. The search for him has never been called off, Anais, Darwin and Richard have not forgiven Nicole for wht she did to Gumbal andNicloe has not even forgiven herself. Its also been one year since the school incident and everyone are still wondering what happen to Gumball. Penny has never been the same since she and Gumball broke up, The day she slapped Gumball still haunts her wishig she could have taken it back. Tobias was released from jail one week after his arrest since his parents paid for all the damages, posted bail and Tobias had to do community service, His reputation was never the same, Sure he still had friends but all the girls dont talk too him and some of his former friends have shunned him from them. Alot has changed in Elmore Town.

In D-V Town, it was a special day. Cris's Birthday has been what Cris has been talking about all month long.

"Yay, its my birthday, Its my birthday." Cris dancing around Tabitha and Gumball.

"Why does his birthday has to be on the 31st?" Tabitha complained.

"Who knows, your mom should have kept him in her a few more hours." Gumball jokingly said.

PUNCH!

"OW!" Gumball yelled out as he is punched by Tabitha.

"Nice one Max" Tabitha complimenting Gumball.

"So what are we going to do on my brithday, huh? What are we going to do Tabitha? Huh Max what are we going to do?" Cris getting all hyper.

"Let me think Cris." Gumball suggesting.

"Fine." Cris Pouting while sitting down.

"So Whos the special let boy today?" Ms. Alditure asked.

"Mine Mom, its my birthday." Cris said happily as his mother pick him up and gave him a hug.

"Well now I'll need something from the store to make you your favorite Thing to eat." Mr. Alditure Every year makes The birthday boy or girl there favorite food and Cris happens to be...

"Yay! Your home made pizza." Cris's face always gave out that cute shine in his eyes and that was worth the time it took to make the pizza to Ms. Alditure.

"So Tabitha, Maz go to the store and get all ingredients from this list." Ms. Alditure giving them an order.

"What? ahhh come on mom i just woke up and beside why cant you just get Max to it?" Tabitha complaining.

"Fine Max can go by himself, but youll have to find aother present for Cris." Ms. Alditure reminded Tabitha that her getting the ingredients always counted as her present for Cris.

"UHHHHH! Fine Let me go change." Tabitha.

"So Max how old Am i right now?" Cris asking Gumball.

"I remember even from last year, Your 6." Gumball still remembers when he met all of the Alditures.

"Let go Max." Tabitha angrily grabbed and pull Gumball's Arm and went for the door.

"You two Dont stop to kiss now." Cris shouting out which did make Ms. Alditure laugh.

"CRISSS!" Tabitha blushing really harder than Gumball.

Now since last time Tabitha and Gumball took forever to get there so in the mean time lets talk about whats happening in Elmore town.

Tobias was walking to school with Banana Joe, the two still remained friends even after what Tobias did to Gumball.

"Man this sucks." Tobias announced.

"What sucks?" Banana Joe replied.

"The Dance is in 3 weeks and no girl wants to go with me." Tobias as walks right into a pole.

"DING"

"Ha ha ha ha ha, Sorry Tobias but if that was me you would have laughed as well and besides you really do deserve this." Banana Joe proclaiming.

"WHAT! For wha- oh right." Tobias nearly forgot what he did to Gumball.

"Yeah, that is the only prank i even found going to far, now no one knows where he is." Banana Joe explaining.

"So, Penny should have been with me." Tobias wishing he still was with Penny.

"And Now no girl wants nothing to do with, its like When we were 12 dude, when we and Gumball and Darwin were friends." Banana Joe remininse about the past friendship.

Tobias just kept walking faster than Banana Joe hoping that he doesnt remind him aboiut the past.

On the bus ride to school Everyone was in there own conversation, But As always Darwin and Anais were quiet, they really missed there brother and that the fact that they had to celebrate there birthday with out himm made it that much worst. Anais was 8 and Darwin turned 16.

Penny Only speaks to few of her friends like Molly, Teri and Carmen.

Penny has gotten alittle better from what happen between Her And Gumball, but she knew she will never be fully better unless she tells him shes sorry in person which she thinks she may never do.

"So... it has been one year huh?" Teri obviously reminding her that its been one year since Gumball ranned away.

"Please.. sont remind me of that day Teri Please." Penny has actually never been the same helpful person, she is more... Quiet.

At the rainbow factory Nicole also has never been the same, she suffered the worst, thinking that she is the worst mother in the world. Even once when one teen was convicted of killing someone his mother tried to help him or give him one last hug, but al Nicole did was close the door right in front of Gumball.

Nicole nearly lost all repect of all the family, she is only there because she cant stand being away from her children for too long and with Gumball away for a long time makes her feel like hell.

Now back to Where Gumball and Tabitha are at, they seem to get faster because when they got to the stroe they shaved 30 minutes of the usual time to get there, Gumball didnt knew how long he could keep up with name Max Anderson because the Alditure are so nice to him, as if he was already apart of the family.

"So Max we need Spices, pepperonni, cheese, and flour to make the bread." Tabitha explaining to Gumball.

"That all we need?" Gumball asking her.

"Nope we need to buy 5 of everything." Tabitha explaining.

"Oh okay so we need... 5 OF EVERYTHING!" Gumball shocked.

"You didnt think Mom was making the pizza just for Cris right?everyone eats what the birthday boy eats. Now you know why i didnt like doing this." Tabitha explaining.

"Hey Tabby!"

"Oh god, Not today." Tabitha and Gumball turned around and saw Jason with his firends.

"What do you want Jason?" Tabitha looking really annoyed.

"I just want to take you out, you know because your my girl." Jason getting close to Tabitha but all she did was start to walk to the door with Gumball.

"Woah, why the hell are still with this Pussy?" Jasons friends started laughing when they heard what he called Gumball.

"Didnt I warn you Not to call me that?" Gumball really hate being called a pussy.

"Just leaveit alone Max and lets just get what we need." tabitha grabbing Gumball's arm and trying to walk into the store.

But then Jasons 3 friends started closing in on Tabitha and Gumball, Tabitha started getting scared.

"Look Tabby ive waited too long for this okay, Either you come with me on a date or you two will regret it." Jason ready to hurt them.

"Like i said for the millionth time, I will never go out with you!" Jason was getting madder and madder.

"Well i warned you."

Jason was going for a punch at Tabitha in the face and just as Tabitha fliched, Gumball caught Jason's Fist aiming for her face.

"What the-"

"dont you know hurting a girl Physically is cowardly." Gumball looking angry for what Jason tried to do.

"Oh someone has balls." Jason as he got out of Gumball's grasp.

"Look why dont you take your friends somewhere else before I make you regret it." Gumball threatening Jason.

"Do you know who your messing with?" Jason saying it to Gumball.

"Im the son of the richest guy In D-V town" Jason acting all important.

"Yeah, SON... But your not technically the richest person, your just mooching off your dads money." Gumball remembering what Tobias said, actually the same thing too.

"Oh boy are your asking for it!" Jason and his friends ready to jump Gumball.

"Asking for it that punch you gave me last time, a three year old punch harder than yo-"

But as the coward Jason is he sucker punched Gumball again in the chin, But to Jason shock Gumball made it look like he wasnt even hurt.

"What the hell you should be knocked out damn it!" Jason getting really Angry.

"Like i was about to say, a three year old punches harder than you."

Tabitha with a suprise face on her looked at Gumball in a different way.

In shame Jason just walked awy with his friends. Gumball knew its wasnt the end with Jason.

"Come on Max lets just get the Ingredients." Tabitha Grabbing Gumball's Hand and went to the store.
