Rebels Love A Little Sugar (Gumlee)

Chapter 1

Gumball's POV:

"I don't seem to understand your problem sir." I said, glancing at the open window in front of me before turning my office chair, and myself, to the person sitting across from me.

The man looked fairly average, tall frame, lean figure...normal, boring.

He was about to speak but I cut him off, "I assure you sir, we are really careful with the process of our Candy Products and I am very sure that we do not put...tarantulas...in our Ice Cream."

"But-"

"We have many people like you waltz in here...con artists just trying to make a quick buck." I said in a stern voice, folding my hands on my desk.

I know I was right...I'm always right, always...OK maybe sometimes...maybe not as much as I want it to.

He didn't say anything else, he just simply got his bought bucket of ice cream, unscrewed the top and faced it to me.

"Sir- OH MY GLOB!" I yelled, there was a tarantula...a freaking tarantula inside the bucket of ice cream. It jumped out and landed on my desk, the two of us both tried to get away.

That venemous arachnid crawled towards me and I was about to step on it before a voice yelled and stopped me from my attempted murder.

"WAIIITTT! THAT'S MY PET!" It was Starchy, one of the oldest workers in my mom's factory. My eyebrow twitched as he picked up that monstrosity and started petting it like it was a baby.

"Who's my baby? Who's my itsy bitsy baby?" He cooed.

I shriecked in fear, who in the world touches a tarantula like a baby?!

Starchy looked at me, "Calm down boss, it's smaller than you."

"Oh yeah? You know what else is smaller than me? A grenade!"

The man, who was hiding behind me, gave me an unamused look.

I sighed and got my wallet, I gave him a reasonable amount of money. "We are so sorry sir, to make it up to you, I will personally gi-" I was cut of to the sound of the door slamming.

The man was gone, rude...and he took my wallet as well, also rude.  I inwardly groaned and sat back down on my office chair. I glanced at Starchy who was giving the spider...a formula bottle.

The old man put back the spider in the ice cream bucket and closed the lid. He looked at me and I gave him one of my sweetest smiles a.k.a the "You're gonna pay" smile.

"Hello Starchy...lovely day isn't it?"

He smiled, "Why yes it is Gumball. Yes it is."

"Look Gumball." He started, giving me his calm smile. "I am really, really sor-"

"You're Fired." I simply stated.

His eyes went wide, "W-what You...you're joking right?...Right?!"

I sighed, "Did I stutter?"

He got onto his knees and I groaned. "But Please..I have a family! A gorgeous wife and two beautiful kids!"

"...Do I look like I care?" I said unamused.

I called for two guards and they dragged him out of my office.

I sat back on my office chair and spun myself around from it. Guilt rose up my chest, 'I know I should have given him a second chance...Oh glob, Gumball what in the world are you talking about?!' I mentally yelled at my self.

I grimaced at the memory of me giving...second chances and I only ended up getting heartbroken.

I was completely unaware of the phone that was ringing on my desk. The ringing snapped me out of my thinking and I picked it up, giving no glance at the name of the caller.

"Hello?"

"Gumball! It's Fionna, long time since we talked, right?" A squeaky voice chimed in.

"What do you want Fionna?" I asked with a slightly annoyed voice that I may or may not did unintentionally.

"Sheesh no need to sound so rude. Me and Cake-"

"Cake and I" I corrected her with a smug smile, imagining the scowl she has on her face right now.

"Pfft. Whatever, Cake and I, are celebrating the 5th year anniversary of our cafe and I was wondering if you can join in our little party. Flame, Mono, Finn and Jake will be hrre as well. Can you please, PLEASE come? " She said in a hopeful voice.

Don't give in Gumball...don't give in... "Sure." I hang up and loudly scowled at myslef.

"You are so stupid Gumball." I loudly said to myself.

"Shut up me." I answered to myself, looking at a full body mirror just by the wall to my right.
