The sneeze is what first put Nicole on alert her next warning was the almost-unrecognizability of Darwin's voice. Just as the fish with legs reached the floor, his breath hitched and he sneezed again, more modestly this time. Darwin - now wearing his green dinosaur-foot pajamas, as he was too tired to get dressed - trudged sleepily down the stairs, with Gumball (who was dressed normally for the day) following behind to make sure his best friend didn't trip or stumble from exhaustion. "We need to get you to Mom."ĭownstairs, in the dining room, Nicole, Richard and Anais were already seated at the table and eating breakfast. Moaning, Darwin began to explain, "My head hurts, my throat is scratchy, my nose is running, and I think I.ah.AAH- choo!" Before he could finish, the sick fish suddenly let out a wet, forceful sneeze (that, thankfully, his brother managed to dodge), which left him a bit dazed.Īs he sniffled wetly, Gumball put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "What's wrong with you?" Gumball asked his friend with concern. Once he was safely on the ground, the young fish steadied himself and held his aching head, dizzy and disoriented. "You don't look so good, either," Gumball commented.ĭarwin tried to climb down from the nightstand on his own, but he was so weak that almost lost his footing a few times, and Gumball had to help him. The sick fish sleepily rubbed his eye, sounding half-congested. The way he was acting, swaying and breathing through his mouth, he could have been mistaken for a zombie. "Oh, dude.are you okay?"ĭarwin was, in fact, visibly unwell there were subtle bags under his glassy eyes, and the scales around his nose (or rather the space between his eyes and mouth) were tinted red - even his gills looked irritated. "Morning, buddy," the blue cat said cheerfully when he looked over the orange fish, his smile faded. Gumball, already out of bed and fully awake, came beside the bowl to greet his brother. Whatever he had managed to catch yesterday had multiplied while he slept, quickly overtaking his body, and now it was almost in full-effect. But after an exhausting day of playing out in the cold and laughing alongside his brother and sister, what else could he expect? Definitely not to get sick from having fun.ĭarwin eventually gathered the willpower to pop out of the fishbowl he slept in, weakly standing up inside of it. As evening came that day, the fish with legs was starting to be bothered by a scratchy throat, and he felt unusually tired. All day long, they built snowmen, made snow angels, and had snowball fights, with their mom and dad - and even a few other neighborhood kids - joining in on the fun.īut that fun soon started to fade for Darwin. Once they had eaten breakfast and gotten bundled up in their usual winter clothes, Gumball, Darwin and Anais dashed outside to play in the snow. Snow blocked the streets and driveways all over Elmore, so school was closed for the day. The Friday afternoon before had been a fun-filled one. He groaned quietly and shut his eyes tighter, wanting to sleep more, but the pain in his head didn't go away, and he finally allowed his eyes to flutter open lazily. The rays of the morning sun shone through the Watterson brothers' bedroom window, and the first thing Darwin was aware of after coming into consciousness was a dull, pounding headache. Also, if you know the show like I do, then I shouldn't have to explain who and what the characters are. It's mostly just Darwin for the first half, but Gumball might start to get sick later on in the story. The story was so long that I decided to split it into separate parts. (A great time for the main characters to get sick, don't you agree?) Because this is during the second season of the show, Gumball and Darwin are still voiced by Logan Grove and Kwesi Boakye, respectively. This fic takes place chronologically after the Christmas special, in early-to-mid January, about a week after winter break has ended.
This is going to be my contribution to the fanfiction sub-forum! If you're reading this, you're probably a fan, too, and may have felt this way at one point or another. It's not like I was expecting more or anything, but I really wanted to see another decent TAWOG sneeze-fic, preferably including Darwin as well as Gumball. You see, so far, I've found only ONE fanfic on here for The Amazing World of Gumball. I've been planning to post this story for a while now. Dinogirl23, here! (Sorry about the lame title, I just didn't have a lot of other options!)
