The sun rose on another calm Monday morning. All across Elmore families were sitting down together for breakfast, ready for another boring, uneventful week of work and school.
Today however, would be far from uneventful.
"Mmmm, this bacon is so good!" Richard moaned as his stomach rumbled for more. "Can I have another slice?"
Nicole turned around, an annoyed glare adorning her face. "Richard, that was your sixth slice, along with the dozens of eggs, sausages, and slices of toast you've had already. How can you still be hungry?"
"I don't know!" The rabbit shrugged. "All I know is I'm hungry and I want more bacon!" He slammed his fork down onto the table.
"Well I'm sorry, but Gumball hasn't had any yet, it would be unfair to make him go without just so you can have a seventh slice." She crossed her arms.
"But...what am I supposed to eat then?"
The feline put down her knife and fork and stood up without saying a word, before walking into the kitchen.
"Nicole? What are you doing?" Richard asked confused.
"Getting you something else to eat, duh." Anais responded through a mouthful of bacon and eggs as she rolled her eyes. "Honestly, Dad, I don't understand how you can each so much every single day and still be completely okay" She swallowed. "It should be scientifically impossible."
The older bunny thought for a moment before shrugging. "Good metabolism?"
"Nah, I don't think so." She ate a forkful of sausage and bacon. "If you had such high metabolism you wouldn't be so fat" She responded nonchalantly, before gasping, dropping her fork and covering her mouth, realizing what she had just said.
"What did you just say to me, young lady?" Her father crossed his arms as he glared at her.
The young rabbit began to panic, her heart dropping as she hurriedly tried to come up with something to save herself. "I-I-I mean, uh, b-because...b-b-because you, um...y-y-you...uh...."
"I think what she meant was that if your metabolism was that high you would be losing weight a lot faster, and so wouldn't be as...well built as you currently are." Darwin suddenly came in and saved her.
"Y-yeah, exactly!" She frantically nodded.
"Oh...I guess that makes sense." He smiled with a shrug.
Anais let out a sigh of relief, before giving a grateful smile to her brother. "Thanks for the save, Darwin. I owe you one."
"Any time sis." He smiled back.
Nicole finally walked back into the dining room with a box of granola and a jug of milk "Here, you can try something healthy for once." She placed the cereal and milk down.
"Healthy? But-"
"No buts. It's either that or nothing." The feline crossed her arms.
Richard hesitated for a moment, before sighing. "Fine...uh, I need a bowl though. And a spoon."
"You have legs, go and get them yourself.." She rolled her eyes.
The rabbit sighed frustratedly as he got up and left the dining room.
The feline shook her head before looking at Gumball's seat at the table, which was still empty. "Is Gumball still not ready? What on earth is taking him so long!?"
