Gumball & Penny: Love at First Sight

Gumball and Penny - The Dance Pt.2

(Hey guys, so sorry for the huge delay on this chapter. My account was screwing me over this past month or two as it wouldn't let me log into it. I've now successfully regained access and am now uploading my sixth chapter)

(This chapter is half the length of my others because I believe this word count is at an appropriate amount and suits the story. There will be a part 3 of the dance so be ready!!)

For what seemed like a few hours had burnt in a matter of minutes. The moment he heard those thunderous footsteps, he knew that his body would be crushed. The thumping grew louder every second until it came to a halt, right infront of his bedroom door. Gumball knew what loomed outside the weak wooden protection he had, he gasped for air and braced for the worst.

bang...

Bang...

BANG.

The powerful thud on the door violently shook his room like an earthquake, all of his prized belongings catapulted to the floor at lighting speed. In that same split second, the door flung open immediaelty making Gumball take cover underneath his very thin sheets. His breath was growing heavier as the time flew by, until he felt a light tap on his right shoulder.

"Hi sweetie" Nicole spook in a soothing voice

"Mum?" terrifed to know the answer

"Yes darling, you can come out of those blankets now"

Gumball slowly threw the covers off to reveal his mother, legs crossed and arms relaxed

"Oh man, I thought you were someone else" he panted

"Gumball, why on Earth would you think that? Beside, you've only been in your room for about 3 minutes"

"Oh, haha... didn't notice the time there" Gumball slightly flustered

"Anyways, now that's out of the way" Nicole resting her paw on his lap "Care to give me a good reason as of why you've yelled so very loudly at 6:30 in the morning?"

He begin to slouch down onto the floor, the sorrow clearly evident in his eyes.

"Well, you see... I want to be fully prepared for this dance and y'know im taking Penny. Then Darwin appeared out of nowhere and began asking really stupid questions, eventually he reached my breaking point and I snapped. It's really hard to try and make things perfect for her an-"

Gumball was cut short after a big bear hug from Nicole cuddled Gumball so tight it gave him goosebumps. He felt slightly better, her aura and warmth let him calm down and settle into the hug. He actually felt even better than before.

Nicole wiped a tear from the blue cats cheek.

"So you got girl problems?" she questioned

"I mean, I guess you can say that"

"Tell me honey, I'll always be by your side. And you know you can trust me, right?"

"Yeah, I suppose... So, I'm really really really nervous for tonight, and it's not just cause of my lame dance moves"

"What do you mean?" Nicole's tone grew weary

"I'm taking a real girl to prom, mum. How else would you expect a 12 year old boy to react??"

"Yes, I guess you're right. Look, sweetie, Me and your father are a very complicated couple-"

"ya think" Gumball muttered under his breath, too quiet for Nicole to hear and destroy him

"but our relationship brought out the best in me. He showed to me that violence wasn't always the answer, and that there was always another solution. That's how I've to have you kids and try my best to give you everything you need to succeed in life. Even when you threw tamtrums, I kepy my cool and dealt the problem with the right solution. It worked, you stopped and were put to rest, it made me feel better about myself as a person."

"Wow..." Gumball was astonished with how much his mum cared about him and his safety

"So what do you say? Will you take this lovely lady to prom and give her a night she won't ever forgot?"

"Heck yeah!"

"I can't hear you!"

"HECCCKK YEEAAHHH"

"That's what I like, now start getting ready. I'll you soon!" Nicole waved at him before exiting the room, closing the door behind her

Gumball looked into his mirror, and confidently stood straight. Arms high, shoulders tall. And with that he began his preparations.
