The Incomplete World Of Elmore

Part 7

~Clare's Bedroom

It was Monday morning, the sun was shining, the leaves were falling, and it was snowing on another street.

The mopey teenager was sleeping peacefully in pink donkey pajamas. As she slept, she heard the alarm, and she punched it.

"Five more minutes, Mommy." Clare was still a little tired as she went back to sleep until she heard a purring sound on her bed.

"Ugh, stupid cat..." She closes her eyes to return to dreamland, but her eyes pop open when she realizes something is wrong.

"Wait a second; I don't have a cat !?" She opens her eyes very wide and pulls off the blanket. But she sees Gumball sleeping on her legs and curling up like a cat when the covers are gone. He wore black pajamas: a black shirt with blue straps on the sleeves and dark brown shorts.

Although initially confused, she also found this mixture of annoyance and adorable, seeing him like this with his ears twitching and colossal rabbit feet.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM"!? Clare shouts, causing Gumball to fall off her bed, but he lands on his feet.

Gumball then stretches and looks at Clare with his usually calm face.

"I wanted to check on you to see if you were okay," he said, scratching his ears.

"I was fine until you barged into my room and entered my bed." She was seething, a bit rageful.

"I didn't barge into your room and come to your house after I fed Aphrodite."

"So why were you in my bed?" Her arms filled with an angry scowl.

"I went to your window, opened it, then closed it. I was tired, plus it was very late, so I just went to your bed, watched you sleep a bit, and then dozed off."

"You were watching me while I was sleeping!?" Sounding crept out by this.

"You kinda looked like an angel when you were sleeping-"

"DUDE"! Sounding angry at him cause this sounded like what a stalker would do.

"What's wrong?" Unsure what was wrong with what he did.

"Just leave my room; I need to change for school." She kicks him in the face and out of her room; he lands on the wall and slams the door.

"Umm, Sis, my clothes are in here." She opens the door and throws the bag of his stuff at his face.

"Never mind." He grabs his stuff and then heads toward the bathroom to change.

~Bus Stop

While walking to the bus together, Clare tells the cabbie to follow her. She is still angry that he entered her house without permission.

Then she sees Alan and William, who are just at the bus stop. Clare looks down and sees William, who is looking at her. She feels very uncomfortable looking at the Eyeball now using the same hand she cut off as her feet.

"Good morning to both of you on this fine day," the balloon said as it waved at the Cabbit and the moody teen. While Gumball waved back, Clare slapped his hand.

"Guessing you two slept well," William says sarcastically to them.

"Of course I did. I was sleeping with-"

Then Clare karate chops Gumball's head to make him quiet.

The school bus arrives before William can answer him. Rocky, the school janitor and bus driver, opens the doors to let the kids on. Clare and William climb aboard the bus.
