Prepare for Impact

Disclaimer: I don't own jack shit. But get a drink and something to eat because its a long one.

"These are good Mom." Gumball said, stuffing his mouth with scrambled eggs and cheese. He then chowed down on the bacon. Gumball could feel his mother smile at him, and personally he hated it.

"That's great honey, I'm glad you enjoy them!" Nicole said, running to the couch to grab her purse. Anais and Darwin noticed the hint of irritation when he said it but they didn't plan on saying anything. Nicole then kissed Richard on the cheek before rushing to the table and giving her respective kisses. One for Anais. One for Darwin. She then tried to kiss Gumball but he pretended to wipe his face, ignoring her glare as she maneuvered her to try and kiss him on his opposite cheek.

Gumball swiftly moved to the other cheek, trying to pretend like he was oblivious to anyone there. Nicole, when realizing she couldn't get through, patted him on the head. Gumball groaned and slowly chewed on his pancakes.

"Alright, see you tonight kids!" Nicole waved.

Darwin and Anais waved, but Gumball merely waved a hand while keeping her back to her. He wasn't ready to confront his mother yet. But he surely wasn't going to fight either. Nicole noticed his lack of enthusiasm and sighed, closing the door disappointingly.

"Gumball, be nicer to Mom." Anais asked, quietly.

Gumball glared at her.

"She works hard, I don't want her worrying about us." Anais explained.

Gumball looked down and blinked before lowering his head and chewing on his food.

"We should get ready for school, I don't want to miss the bus again." Darwin said, excusing himself from the table. Anais and Gumball watched him grab his backpack and sit on the couch. Darwin sighed and threw his head back. He felt he was sitting on something. The fish dug in the couch and pulled out the piece stuck in between the couch fabric. It was a 'Dodge or Dare' dice. The fish cringed.

'Dodge or Dare! Roll the dice! Pick a card!'

Darwin looked back over at the moody Gumball. He wanted his brother back. They hadn't played this game in weeks it seemed. "I just want to go home." Gumball sighed. Anais and Darwin exchanged glances.

"You are home." Anais explained.

"I know." Gumball muttered.

-Rainbow Factory 12:55 Lunch break-

Nicole and Denise were hanging out, talking about their kids and what not. Nicole however had brought up Gumball and then explained her problem with him.

"So I slapped him, but harder than I ever slapped before." Nicole explained; "I knew I shouldn't have hit so hard but I did it anyways. He had made me so mad."

"Babe, I hit my kid all the time, make 'em think!" Denise laughed.

"We shouldn't hit our children, especially the way I did." Nicole said, her head hung low.

"Why you so sensitive about it?" Denise asked; "Your mother hit you right?"

"It's different with Gumball and I."

"How so?"

"Well….i'll tell you…" Nicole said, drifting off.

"When Gumball was four years old I had spanked him, and I didn't feel good about it. All the time he cried and I wanted him to learn his lesson but his cries were awful to listen to."

"AHHH! MOMMY STOP IT PLEASE!" Gumball cried, trying to break away from her grip.

"NO! Not until you APOLOGIZE!" Nicole shouted, slapping his posterior with her belt.

"Hearing your son cry out to you to stop hurting him traumatized me. Ever since then I always spanked Gumball as a last resort. Around the age of six he had gotten Darwin at a carnival, we had come home and he had spilled the water out because he said it was hot and he needed something to cool down with."

"It was h-hot!" Gumball reasoned.

"I told you to hold it! Now…you've spilled it all over my work!" Nicole screamed, pulling Gumball and the fish bowl out the car. Then she inspected it and pulled out the wet papers. She glared at her shivering son.

"He ruined my paper work in the car so then I spanked him again."

"WAHHHH!" Gumball cried; "I'M S-SORRY!"

"Not this time Gumball, I told you! I TOLD YOU!" Nicole screamed, hitting him with the belt.

"Richard however told me to stop, saying he couldn't bear to hear it either."

"Honey, don't hit him!" Richard said, walking in-between Gumball and Nicole.

"Honey, move it." Nicole said, pushing him out the way and then striking Gumball again. He let out a bloody scream as his tears soaked the sheets.

"He's sorry, you're hurting him!" Richard argued. Nicole ignored it and tried to strike him again but he grabbed her arm. "Back off Richard!" Nicole shouted, striking him with all her might. Gumball screamed again, even getting the Robinsons up.

"Nicole, do you want to be responsible for that?" Richard said, pointing at the whimpering Gumball. His eyes looked in fear at hers, like she wasn't even related to him. Nicole tried to ignore it but couldn't, she dropped the belt.

"G-Gumball, you're dismissed." Nicole said weakly.

"I'm s-sorry Mom." Gumball muttered scarcely, walking past her.

"I understand honey." Nicole muttered.

"I'm really sorry Mom!" Gumball pleaded defensively.

"Its okay son just go." Nicole said, motioning him to leave with her hands.

"I didn't mean it, I'm really sor-"

"JUST GO!" Nicole screamed. Gumball then ran out the room, shouting I'm sorry over and over. Nicole sighed as Richard put an arm around her shoulder.

"So I had promised to stop, I didn't want to hear Gumball cry at my hand ever again. I knew I had anger issues and I was aware that I was hitting him too hard. However, around the age of seven he and my other son Darwin had called the police and I was so mad I broke my promise. I spanked them without hesitation. Again my anger got out of hand as I had badly bruised them. Afterwards, Darwin and Gumball didn't talk to me for weeks. It was terrible, and to make matters worse Richard did the same. Or he'd at least avoid me."

"Sad Darlin', real sad." Denise said.

"I know, so whenever I hit my kids we're reminded of that. I guess that's why Gumball was so mad at me and still is." Nicole muttered.

"I guess it's true, but you gotta lay down the law." Denise explained; "It's the only way your kids listen to you."

"Speaking of which…" Nicole said, reminded of something; "Do you hit your daughter?"

"Daughters, and what do you mean?" Denise asked.

"Like physically hit them, attack them….i guess?" Nicole asked.

"Why do you ask?" Denise asked.

"Because your daughter when she answered the door was bruised up." Nicole said; "And it was pretty ugly."

"Well yeah I hit her once or twice when she doesn't behave but I never really beat her up." Denise lied. Nicole could tell she was lying.

"C'mon Denise, I wasn't born yesterday. You were always a wild one at school." Nicole noted; "You beat up a lot of people."

"What's that have to do with anything?"

"I'm concerned for your own child, I've done a lot of things but I never beat my kids on the face."

"You don't need to be concerned, she's a bad kid and violence is the only way she cools down."

"Then why does she like my son?"

"…"

"I'm just scared that Jamie….."

"That Jamie?"

"…Will be a bad influence for him."

"WHAT?"

Nicole held a hand up to her, motioning for her to calm down.

"Don't get all snarky with me Denise, you said it yourself, she's a bad kid." Nicole pointed out.

"Yeah but she's still my kid, Nicole." Denise warned, then she sighed; "I guess I do hit her too hard and too often."

"See, wasn't so hard to admit." Nicole smiled.

"I guess." Denise muttered.

"So why do you do it?" Nicole asked; "Don't you realize if you continue on your daughter like that, she will just hate you in the future?" Denise laughed. "She already does." Nicole shook her head. "No she doesn't, she loves you."

"I don't think so Nicole." Denise laughed.

"I was a little girl too, with anger issues, I never hated my mom no matter how many times I shouted at her." Nicole said; "You could still change your ways."

"Please Nicole, how do you change something at this point in time?" Denise asked, chuckling.

"Don't back down, talk to her. I need to make sure your daughter is okay before she starts…." Nicole caught herself, not wanting to anger Denise. Denise nodded her head, knowing what she was about to say.

"Before she gets into your son a little too much? I understand." Denise sighed, not knowing exactly how to react.

"Anyways, tomorrow I have to go to a PTA." Nicole said, changing the subject.

"Really? I do too." Denise said.

-At School—

"And that's it." Darwin explained to Rachel.

"Hmm, maybe I could help." Rachel said, before she thought of something.

"I have an idea." Rachel whispered towards Darwin.

"…..Great idea!" Darwin rejoiced; "Maybe then he'll come back to his senses."

Gumball walked down the hallways alone, even the 'Raid' couldn't cheer him up. Jamie was incredibly late to school, and all he could think about was her. Jamie. He knew she was having a hard time, and if she didn't come to school today he knows whose fault it was. He didn't really think about it till now, it was Darwin and Anais who kicked her out. Who scared her away. What kind of boyfriend was he not to protect her. Gumball made a disgusted frown, he felt like a 'user.'

Darwin and Rachel then walked up the stairs with Penny, knowing that Gumball would love to see her again.

"Hey Gumball." Penny smiled.

"P-Penny?" Gumball asked, startled.

"That's me." Penny said, grabbing his hand.

"What do you want?" Gumball blurted out.

"Gumball, let's take a walk." Penny said, pulling him along. Gumball knew something was off, but he didn't know it yet. He had forgotten about Jamie, because Penny is the girl who rivaled her. Darwin and Rachel looked at them, smiles on their faces.

"It's working Darwin." Rachel said.

"And with a nicer girl, maybe Gumball won't be such a dick anymore." Darwin muttered.

"Watch your language, Darwin." Rachel said, rubbing the fish's head.

-At the Bench, near the kickball field-

"Penny, I….I.." Gumball was at a loss of words.

"You alright Gumball? Penny asked. "I just wanted to hang out with you, ever since our lunch got interrupted I wanted to finish up on it."

"During r-recess?" Gumball cried.

"Well why not?" Penny laughed; "We have plenty of time."

"R-Right Penny." Gumball said in defeat.

"Well if its inconvenient for y-"

"NO! I mean yes….no? I don'-….No its fine." Gumball said guiltily.

Penny and Gumball sat on the bench in the school yard, Penny eating her sandwich while Gumball paddled his feet uncomfortably. Penny then looked over at him, trying to spark some conversation.

"So, how's your week?" Penny asked. Gumball shot up when he heard her speak, mainly because his week involved another female he loved.

"Uh, it was okay…I guess." Gumball lied.

"Well I was just wondering since Darwin seemed to be so mad at you." Penny noted innocently. Gumball flinched, obviously Darwin was talking smack about him. Like he had suspected.

"Darwin is just a little jerk, to think I used to love him." Gumball muttered.

"Gumball, don't say such things." Penny warned; "If you love Darwin you wouldn't stoop down to his level." Gumball looked at her for a second before reluctantly nodding and dropping his head. Penny smiled and patted him on the head.

"It's just that…Darwin gives me so much crap now, I've seen him around, he's not even smart or anything." Gumball muttered, his lips jumped to the feel of Penny's hand on his head. Gumball was about to question it but he realized this was Penny, there was no way he was going to let this slip.

"Keep telling me Gumball, just let it all out." Penny moaned.

"I just….he keeps ruining my life!" Gumball said, raising his hands.

"I understand, but love makes the world go round." Penny said, smiling; "And love is what makes things progress."

"….I know." Gumball said, holding his chin in his hand.

"You should always admit when you love someone, if people did that more often there would be little conflict." Penny said, more concerned for Gumball right now than anything. Gumball's eyes popped at her remark. He raised his head and stared at her, uncomfortably.

"Penny, you do like me right?" Gumball asked.

"Well of course, I mean why not?" Penny laughed.

Jamie walked up to the school, aware she was incredibly late. She entered the doors and walked to the attendance office. The old tree lady was in the booth, glaring at her.

"What's your business?" She asked.

"I'm trying to get in, I was late." Jamie said, rubbing her arm.

"Late? You're half a day late?" She asked.

"Yeah, I guess." Jamie muttered.

"Alright, what class do you have after lunch?" The old lady asked.

"Gym, Simian." Jamie said, her eyes floating around.

"Alright here, and don't be THIS late again. You might as well not come to school." The tree lady warned.

"Right, I'm just here to see someone." Jamie said as she left the booth and walked down the hallways.

Jamie then walked up the stairs to the gym where 'Raid' usually hung out. The group was talking until Jamie busted through the doors in which everyone got quiet. Jamie however stopped at the front of the gym, not needing to get up close with them.

"Welcome back, Jamie." Simba said.

"Where is Gumball?" She asked; "I need to speak with him, immediately."

"Chill out, come sit with u-"

"IMMEDIATELY!" Jamie screamed, cutting off Tina.

"We don't know." Carrie said.

"What? Isn't he supposed to be here?" Jamie asked.

"Sorry, but we haven't seen them." The misty ghost hissed; "I think he's just outside."

Jamie nodded and then turned to the door, before remembering something. She looked back at them and pointed at her feet.

"Carrie, William, I need you to come with me." Jamie demanded. "Why?" Carrie asked. "Carrie I need you as a look out, and William I need you as a hear out." Jamie said, walking out the door.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Tobias said.

Jamie, Carrie, and William came down the hallway, both William and Carrie staring uncomfortably at Jamie who sourly marched down the hallways. Carrie then broke the silence. "What's up Jamie?" Carrie asked.

"Just had a bad week that's all." Jamie said.

Speaking of the devil, Rachel and Darwin walked down the other side of the hallway. Darwin and Rachel talked amongst each other about burgers and what not before Rachel noticed Jamie and Co. Jamie noticed the two, she stopped in her tracks. Darwin looked over at Jamie and jumped a bit before making a frown. The two groups stopped as an odd silence ensued. Carrie and William looked at each other, not aware of what exactly was going on. Darwin gulped, flashing back to that blurry scene of him kicking her out the house. Jamie however remembered it clearly, her heart started to thump rapidly.

"Uh…" Rachel said, not sure exactly what's going on.

"Where is Gumball?" Jamie asked.

Darwin and Rachel exchanged glances, they knew where he was but Darwin didn't want Jamie to ruin it. Rachel who was member of the allied Paint club was a bit uneasy about lying to Jamie, but she didn't think Jamie was a good match up for Gumball.

"We don't know." Rachel said.

"…Is that true Darwin?" Carrie asked; "You of all people don't know where he is?" Darwin hesitated, feeling threatened by that comment.

"I don't know, I don't follow him around." Darwin said uneasily.

"You don't follow him around….'anymore'?" Jamie asked.

"No." Darwin replied, a bit loudly.

"….For some reason I feel like you know where he is….and you're lying to me." Jamie said, stepping up a bit. Staring at Darwin's scared grin reminded her of 'that night'. The fish nodded, not allowing himself to lose any ground.

"I'm not lying, I don't know where he is." Darwin said.

"Okay, we've said it enough." Rachel said, grabbing his fin and pulling him away.

"STOP!" Jamie screamed, even more irritated.

Rachel and Darwin stopped, slowly looking back at Jamie. The bull was mad, even madder than Tina at this point. Darwin had pissed her off big time, but he wasn't going to walk away and hide Gumball from her.

"Yes?" Rachel asked.

"I want a minute with Darwin, alone." Jamie said.

"Um….why?" Rachel asked.

"I need to talk with him." Jamie said. Darwin and Rachel exchanged glances.

"I don't want to." Darwin said.

"You heard him." Rachel said, pulling the fish away.

"Rachel, if you don't make him come over here you know what will happen." Jamie sneered. Rachel's pupils shrunk. Jamie was obviously referencing her allegiance with Raid, and she didn't want to be responsible for the breakup of the groups.

'But Raid broke rules too…' Rachel thought, which was in fact true.

"Fine, Darwin just go over with her for a second." Rachel muttered.

"W-What?" Darwin cried.

"They wont hurt you, I promise." Rachel said, before walking out the hallways and down the stairs.

"I'll come back up when you're ready." Rachel shouted from the stairway.

Jamie motioned for Darwin to come to her, which the fish sighed and slowly walked to her. He could see the disgusted look on her face. He replied by giving off his own disgusted look, but it merely sunk into a look of worry.

"I'll ask once more, where is my boyfriend?" Jamie said sternly. Darwin flinched at that.

"No offense, but why Gumball? He's not at all like you, and he doesn't like you, he really likes Penny." Darwin muttered, expecting a punch. "He likes Penny? I don't think so, that's why he kisses me the way he does." Jamie said, reassuring herself that.

"Whatever." Darwin muttered; "I don't know what your problem is."

"Darwin just shut up, you've already fucked around with Gumball and Me for a while now. This is why he doesn't like you anymore, you're a jerk." Jamie scolded, Darwin then looked up at her, enraged. "You're just some creepy fish that gets mad whenever his brother finds something he likes."

"That's a LIE!" Darwin screamed, he then threateningly and foolishly got in Jamie's face; "I LOVE MY BROTHER!" Jamie cocked a brow and leaned her head back. Darwin was incredibly mad, and obviously he wasn't thinking straight.

"Carrie, you know what to do." Jamie said.

The ghost nodded and flew into Darwin's body, making his head shake and everything. The fish looked like he was having a seizure. Jamie looked at the scene, wishing Jamie would hurry up. As the fish finally stopped shaking, he stood up and stared at Jamie. He looked a bit pale, his eyes a bit red, but still easily recognizable as Darwin.

"See Jamie, I've been working on it." Carrie told Jamie, even mimicking Darwin's voice.

"Alright show off, get Rachel." Jamie demanded.

The ghost infested Darwin straddled for a bit before walking down the stairs to the calm and finger twirling Rachel. She noticed him and stood up, observing him for any bruises.

"Good they didn't hurt you." Rachel sighed.

"Y-Yeah, Jamie sorta threatened me." Carrie said, scratching her fish head.

"She's like that, but don't worry Darwin, technically she can't hurt you with you being my friend." Rachel explained. Carrie knew what she was talking about but pretended not to know just to give off the impression. "W-Why not?" She asked.

"Uh, its complicated but we're sorta friends….in a group sorta way." Rachel said, staring at him. She noticed his physical differences, most noticeably in terms of paleness. That wasn't his usual shade of orange.

"Are you alright Darwin, you look like you've seen a ghost." Rachel said, stepping closer to Carrie.

"S-Seen a g-ghost? N-No way!" Carrie laughed, sweat dripping down Darwin's body.

"Alright, where to then?" Rachel asked.

"W-We should go check up on Gumball." Carrie said, hoping it didn't sound too forced. Rachel cocked a brow. "Why? I think we can trust Penny."

'Penny?' Carrie thought.

"Y-Yeah I guess, but what if Gumball like a-accidentally flirts with her?" Carrie asked, trying to get a lead on their location. Rachel snickered.

"That's the point genius, you said you liked the romantic set up." Rachel said, patting the shocked Carrie on the head. 'Wait...WHAT? Romantic Set-up?' Carrie couldn't believe it, Gumball loved Jamie indefinitely she thought. She was starting to lose track of the mission.

"W-Well yeah, but what if G-Gumball likes Jamie too much?" Carrie asked.

"You're stuttering a lot Darwin, calm down I'm sure Jamie isn't THAT scary." Rachel said; "And he does like Jamie too much, that's the entire point."

'So they set him up with Penny? But it's possible that Gumball can't control himself!' Carrie thought.

"Right, I guess." Carrie said, still speculating.

"So, where do you w-"

"HEY, maybe we should go check up on them in the lunchroom!" Carrie bated, knowing Rachel will correct the location.

"The kick ball bench you mean?" Rachel asked.

'GOT IT!'

"Uh yeah, thanks Rachel!" Carrie said as she floated out of Darwin's body.

"CARRIE?" Rachel screamed before Carrie jumped into her head. The rainbow lass then jumped around a bit, trying to get her out. Carrie then took her body and messed with her memories, distorting the previous events to blurry memories. Carrie then jumped out, and flew up and out the stairway. Rachel and Darwin's heads were shaken as they both reached for a wall or something, their brains and vision both mixed and blurry.

"W-What happened?" Rachel asked, blinked her eyes.

"I…..I don't know." Darwin said, rubbing his head.

Carrie flew up as fast as she could to the impatient Jamie and William. The ghost flew right through them, both Jamie and William looked at her trying to slow herself down. She then turned around and flew to them.

"Guys! Rachel and Darwin set up Penny to have a date with Gumball!" Carrie screamed.

"….Wait….a DATE?" Jamie asked, in disbelief.

"Yes its true, Rachel told me everything!" Carrie said, hoping they would hurry up and leave.

Jamie thought she must've heard wrong or something, maybe it's a date that Gumball rejected. There is no way that Gumball is honestly going with Penny after all he's done for her.

"Is Gumball going through with this?" Jamie asked, feeling an uncomfortable shutter on her right shoulder.

"I'm not sure, I hope not." Carrie said, grinning; "They're at the bench, near the kick ball field."

"I have to see this, it's not true!" Jamie said, running back to the staircase.

Jamie, Carrie, and William went down the stairway, rushing past Darwin and Rachel who had just got their marbles together.

"Where are they going?" Rachel asked.

"I dunno, sounds like trouble." Darwin said; "Let's check up on Gumball, see if he hasn't run away or anything."

-The Bench—

"I'm not sure about this." Gumball said.

"What's there not to be sure about?" Penny asked.

Gumball and Penny were holding hands, rubbing them together as they sat really close. Gumball felt like it was wrong, almost a crime, but he couldn't pull his hands away. Her hands were warm, sweet, soft, and caring. Penny did in fact like Gumball, but she had a sense he didn't care for her the same way anymore. Or at least someone else had taken her place.

"Gumball, I feel as if you don't love me anymore." Penny said.

"W-What?" Gumball said, taken back by that.

"Gumball, you said all the time on accident that you loved me, obviously you did but….i feel like it's different now. I understand completely, I guess I waited too long." Penny sighed, Gumball shivered at her giving up on him. He loved Jamie, but he also loved Penny. The problem remained that Jamie was everything he loved on the bad side, and Penny was everything he loved on the good side.

"Penny I do….in a way." Gumball stuttered.

"You shouldn't cheat on her with me Gumball, whoever it is." Penny said.

"I don't want to either." Gumball said, sighing.

"Then why are you still here, you shouldn't let me do this to you." Penny explained, referencing her hands squeezing at his. Even more shocking is that his hands were giving off the same emotion.

"B-Because…I have feelings for you as well, you and Jamie." Gumball muttered, knowing it was wrong.

"Jamie? That's the girl you chose? But we have nothing in common." Penny noted, confused on his choice.

"You're the exact opposite of her, to be honest." Gumball said, his voice starting to croak.

"Well….Gumball, you can't have two girls, that's wrong." Penny explained, resembling his mother.

"I know it is, I really do Penny, believe me!" Gumball cried, staring back at her now.

"But…"

"But choosing you two is like choosing over my Mom or Dad, it can't be done, you're both PERFECT!"

Penny nodded, knowing that Gumball obviously was going through something terrible. Jamie however was completely unaware of this, Gumball was hers and hers alone. That dream of Penny haunted her as Jamie ran down the stairs. Penny wasn't about to ruin her only chance at happiness in this world.

"I understand Gumball, but you must choose." Penny explained.

"I know…bu-!"

Penny mashed her brown lips against Gumball's light blue ones. Gumball was caught off guard as he was fluttered with emotion. Weird emotion, not necessarily love. The cat kissed back, he had to, it was something he wanted for years on end. Penny blushed at the kiss, but she noticed something in the kiss that was different and unusual.

"GUMBALL!" Jamie screamed, staring at Penny and Him kissing on the bench.

Penny and Gumball broke their kiss immediately, slowly turning to the emotionally confused and shocked Jamie. Carrie however quenched her face, her wish not coming and true. William even flew away, not wanting to be involved.

"Gumball, I've made my decision." Penny said, releasing his hands.

"I think I've made mines too!" Gumball said, getting up and staring at Jamie.

Everyone on the schoolyard remained quiet, expecting Jamie to go over and beat Gumball's ass. Many weren't aware of Gumball and Jamie's relationship however so they just assumed an ass kicking was due. Jamie was going to confront it, but she couldn't. She felt her eyes get heavy, and her stomach sink. Even though it was an entire schoolyard in distance, he could still see her about to break down. Jamie crying is rumored to be physiologically impossible. The girl couldn't take it as she ran back inside, Carrie looked at her as the door closed. Everyone on the schoolyard exchanged glances before going back to their business.

"JAMIE!" Gumball cried, getting up and running for the doors.

'Why did I do it?' Gumball thought, hoping he didn't ruin the one thing he valued the most at this school.

"Gumball!" Penny shouted; "I knew it, I shouldn't have ever agreed to this!"

"I don't think ice cream sounds too nice right now." Darwin told Rachel, walking down the stairs to check up on Gumball and Penny. Jamie was running up the stairs, covering her eyes as she busted through Darwin and Rachel.

"Whoa!" Darwin cried.

"Where is she going?" Rachel asked.

Gumball immediately ran up the stairs, running into them as well. He knew he didn't have time to deal with them but he had to say it.

"DARWIN!" Gumball screamed, grabbing his face and lifting him up.

"AHHH, PUT ME DOWN!"

"LEAVE ME AND JAMIE ALONE!" Gumball shouted, before dropping him. Rachel then tapped Gumball on the shoulder. Gumball angrily turned around to address her.

"What are you talking about?" Rachel asked.

"THE DATE!" He screamed.

"It was more on my idea." Rachel said, knowing Gumball wouldn't hurt her.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO BE ON 'OUR' SIDE!" Gumball shouted. Rachel brought a finger to her lip, hoping Darwin didn't think too much on what he said.

"I just thought that Jamie was a 'phase' you were going through, like a bad girl thing." Rachel said quietly. Gumball's teeth jittered uncontrollably as Darwin butted in.

"You can't seriously love the girl who bullied you?" Darwin asked; "I can understand friends but LOVE? Isnt it kinda rushing things?"

"SHUT UP!" Gumball shouted at Rachel and Darwin.

"Chill out, she's obviously not a good pick for you." Rachel said.

"Why do you always get mad at us when we're trying to help you?" Darwin asked, a little angry that he shouted at her. Gumball blinked before slapping his forehead in irritation. Rachel and Darwin grinned at that, slightly offended by his jester.

"Rachel I need to speak with Darwin alone." Gumball said, not even asking really.

"I'm not in the mood for talks." Darwin replied.

"Okay Gumball, don't start anything." Rachel said, walking away. Gumball then turned to Darwin, anger boiling in his eyes.

"WHAT PART OF IT DON'T YOU GET?" Gumball screamed, startling Rachel who then glanced back at the two.

"I know you're mad, but don't start with me Gumball." Darwin said sternly; "Nobody was happy with your decision." Gumball sighed at his ridiculous comment, but knowing he couldn't solve this with screaming, that and the fact that It was wearing on his voice, he planned to solve this 'brother to brother.'

"What you guys think isn't my concern, she's a nice girl no matter what you say." Gumball said calmly, yet still worried about Jamie.

"Obviously you're doing something wrong; you're always mad, the family is always crying, there is so much talk about Jamie and drugs, she's a bully, she hurts people, just last week she beat up the Eggheads, you and I don't hang anymore, and she r-"

"Is that it?" Gumball asked.

"Is what?" Darwin asked.

"We don't hang anymore? Is that it bud?" Gumball asked again, trying to get through. He noticed Darwin has sort of rushed through that last part.

"Not necessarily, and don't call me bud like everything is normal again." Darwin pouted, turning around. "Go back with your girlfriend or whatever."

"Darwin, are you stupid?" Gumball shouted in disbelief. Darwin turned around and glared at him. "You're kidding me, you thought we wouldn't be friends anymore?" Gumball screamed. Darwin refused to acknowledge him.

"Darwin, you're my best friend. Yes you pissed me off a lot after that night and I did hate you for a while, but Jamie wasn't the problem between us." Gumball explained. Darwin still refused to talk to him but listened.

"Darwin, it was my anger." Gumball admitted; "Though you guys did gang up on me I shouldn't have reacted the way I did." Darwin gulped upon hearing this, since he didn't expect Gumball to finally admit it wasn't entire the family's fault.

"I know I shouldn't have shouted at you all those times or hit you, but don't take out your revenge on Jamie." Gumball said, patting Darwin on the head. 'He just needed a little attention, just like when he was a little goldfish.'

"I have to go now Darwin, I'll play dodge or dare with you sometime." Gumball said. Darwin's eyes widened when he felt him kiss his head. Gumball then ran up the stairs, on his way to finding Jamie. Darwin felt tears boil in his eyes as he held his head down. Rachel walked up to him and placed a hand on his head.

"It's alright Darwin, don't take what he said personally." Rachel said, assuming it was bad.

"I-I have t-too Rachel, he's my b-brother." Darwin wept.

Gumball ran into the gymnasium, which is where she obviously ran to. When he busted through the doors, he was greeted by the grades of the club. They were sitting in their usual areas, only difference was all of the leader clubs where there to glare at him. She had only been up there for seconds and somehow they KNEW it was Gumball's fault.

There was a dead silence. Gumball stood at the doors, staring over all the way across the court to the 7th and 8th grade clubs. Huddling on a bleacher and staring angrily at Gumball. Everyone. From Tina to the ghost in the Spirit club, from Uri the moon girl to Duperscrumphton the weird army kid. From Simba the leader of all the groups to Berkeley the always sour and cruel 8th grade pencil. The snow man and the 6th and 8th grade cheerleaders that rubbed Gumball and many more. Approximately thirty or so kids were sitting on the bleacher staring at Gumball, madder than hell. In the middle of the group was Carrie, Uri, and some other girls comforting the weeping Jamie. Her weeps echoed in the quiet gym. Gumball cringed when he recognized it. However another noise came about, a scary breathing noise, one that sounded irritated and eager. Gumball looked up above Jamie on the bleacher above her, where Tina was, breathing hard and glaring at Gumball.

"What do you want?" Uri asked.

"I uh…." Gumball said at a loss of words. He was well aware saying 'Jamie' would merely piss them off.

"You uh, what?" The little army kid asked.

"I came here to see her." Gumball said.

"I don't think so Gumball!" Laughed Berkeley, the afro pencil; "As a matter of fact, you're not going to see her for a long time."

"What did he do?" Anton asked the sobbing Jamie.

"H-He, loves Penny. He k-kissed her, after he s-said he l-loved me!" Jamie wept, trying to end her endless tears. Jamie however wasn't aware Gumball was there. Nobody in this group had EVER seen Jamie cry, so this only amplified their anger. Gumball sat there, knowing he had little ground to stand on.

"Look, I was set up into doing it!" Gumball shouted, assuming they knew since he couldn't hear her.

Jamie recognized the voice and looked up, her image distorted by her tears. She stared at him for a second before she broke down again, worse this time, letting out a loud cry.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Jamie screamed, slamming her fists down on the bench.

"AND YOU CO-OPERATED!" Screamed the snowman, pointing at Gumball.

"Don't l-let him…..s-see me like t-this…" She muttered to herself uncontrollably; "Don't let h-him not lo-love me." Everyone was trying to comfort her, using a paper as a fan and telling her to not worry about Gumball. Gumball knew she said something, he felt it and noticed the reactions of everyone. He was stuck, and he felt like shit. This was supposed to be his New Family, but where were they now? They weren't giving him a chance.

"Gumball, you need to get the fuck out!" The 3d treasure chest said.

"Not until I see Jamie." Gumball said, scarred. This however enraged Berkeley.

"YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THE SUNLIGHT UNLESS YOU GET THE HELL OUT!" Berkeley threated.

"I'm not afraid of you, asshole!" Gumball shot back, but not nearly as strong. The afro eraser pencil was merely offended that he said something back.

"You think you're tight just because Jamie taught you some moves?" Berkeley shot threateningly. The pencil got up and walked over to Gumball.

"You HURT someone that means something to this group! You HURT my friend. But even sadder is the fact that she was the ONLY PERSON that wanted you in this group!" Berkeley shouted, his eyes near red. Gumball knew everything he said was true, every single word of it.

"I'm doing this because she told me not to ever leave her, and I plan to keep true to that!" Gumball said, mad as well. He knew Berkeley was aching for a fight.

"YOU FUCKED UP ALREADY!" Berkeley shouted, getting down in his face.

"BERKELEY I WAS TRICKED INTO KISSING HER, I KNOW IT WAS WRONG BUT I PLAN TO MAKE IT UP TO HER!" Gumball shouted; "GET OUT OF MY FACE!"

Berkeley was having none of it, he got up and clumsily swung at Gumball. The cat backed up but Berkeley followed up with another punch, nearly missing Gumball. The cat knew that Jamie trained him well, and that a quick kick was something nobody ever suspected. Gumball then brought his hands up, making him look like he was ready to fight.

"C'MON, DON'T FUCK WITH ME!" Berkeley screamed, jumping at with another punch. Gumball dodged it, with his fists raised.

"ATTACK ME YOU BITCH!" Berkeley spat.

Everyone at the bleachers looked on, silently rooting for Berkeley, except for Carrie of course. Who was the only one sensing it wasn't ENTIRELY his fault.

"YOU DON'T LOVE JAMIE, YOU'RE SHIT!"

Berkeley attack Gumball once more, throwing a punch but then felt something hit him on his left.

"OOF!"

Berkeley then fell down to the ground, effectively knocked down by Gumball's sidekick. The pencil looked at the cat in shock before getting up again. Gumball however didn't allow it and punched him straight in the face, knocking him down. Gumball was really mad now, he had tried his best and yet nobody was on his side. He grabbed his eraser hair and dragged him over to the basketball basket where Gumball withdrew a ball and brutally threw one at his face.

"AHHH!" Berkeley screamed, his eyes now black. Gumball then stopped him out. "DON'T YOU EVER SAY I DON'T LOVE HER!"

"GET OFF HIM GUMBALL!" Tobias shouted, running up and pushing him away. Gumball then fell on his butt, before greeted by a kick from Tobias. The cat gripped his face in pain as the puffy cloud ignored Gumball to attend to Berkeley.

"HE STARTED IT!" Gumball shouted at Tobias.

"YOU DESERVED IT!" Tobias shot coldly; "I was wrong, you were a WRONG choice, I wish Jamie never found you." Gumball swallowed when he heard that, he didn't expect this from Raid.

Gumball then looked over at the group that was preoccupied with Jamie, but there was one glare that was staring him down. It was so obvious and it was scary. Tina, of course. The dinosaur didn't blink, but she looked eager to charge at him.

"Tina, don't look at me like that." Gumball said meekly.

"Gumball, Jamie one day was telling me all about you." Tina said rather calmly. Gumball knew this wasn't going to end well. "She told me how lovely you were, and how great a kisser, and how she wanted to live out the rest of her life with you. She's a sister to me, so obviously she told me everything and how she wanted to live with you and what not." Tina continued, stepping off the bleachers and walking towards Gumball.

"When she told me she wanted to possibly marry you, I thought she was joking, but when I saw the jar of money she had saved for a wedding in his closet she started a couple of days ago I knew she was real." Tina said, getting closer to him.

"And then you do this." Tina said. Gumball noticed her voice raising. "You kiss another girl, you'd LIED to her!" Tina growled; "YOU MADE EVERYTHING SHE SAID ABOUT YOU A LIE, WORTHLESS, YOU FUCKING IDIOT YOU WERE THE ONE THING SHE TRULY LOVED!" Tina roared, stomping right in front of him. She then raised her foot, ready to smash Gumball. The cat was scared but had nothing in defense to say, still stunned from what Tina told him.

"Why do you believe you're worthy for a princess like her?" Tina asked, ready to stomp at his stupid answer. Gumball couldn't answer, he knew she was too precious and he was useless. Gumball had to cope with the reality that he didn't deserve her. Gumball sighed, giving up.

"I don't…..i don't deserve her. And I ruined her by kissing her sweet green lips, and loving her." Gumball said, depressed.

Tina was stunned by this argument, so she couldn't stomp him. Tina removed her foot and stared at him for a second. The dinosaur shook her head and walked back to the bleachers before turning to Gumball.

"I don't know what to think of you Gumball, no one has every confused me as much as you."

Gumball held his head down, knowing he wouldn't get through this without Jamie allowing him. Jamie was still weeping, ignoring everything being said in here. Simba sighed and got up, he looked at Gumball, knowing he had to do this.

"Gumball Watterson, no one has ever brought so much pain to this group before. But you did the impossible, you made Jamie cry. It's sad you did this when we had grown so fond of you, and I still think we like you but this….event ruined all that." Simba said, rubbing his mask. Gumball had his back turned to him, knowing what was coming next.

"You betrayed a person who brought you into our family, thus, you betrayed a link to the family. Because of that, you're no longer a part of our family….forever." Simba said. Everyone was listening to this, knowing that Gumball deserved it but some especially Carrie was shocked by this decision. Everyone however had to admit they had started to like Gumball. The cat cringed, now who would he rely on? Nothing but nobody. Even worse is that he's made more enemies.

"That sucks Simba, I really did like you guys but I messed up." Gumball said in defeat.

"You sure did, you ruined a member of our group." Simba stated.

"….I'm sorry, I wish I could make it up but I gu-"

"BUT, you can make it up!" Simba announced. Everyone looked at him in shock, not expecting him to play that 'but' card. Though many of them liked Gumball it seemed only logical to get him out, because they sure as hell weren't dumping Jamie.

"Jamie loves you, for some reason, so it's her decision." Simba said, he then turned to the stunned group of kids. "She will tell you her decision to your face, only after you apologize." Gumball turned in shock, could this be a chance or could this ruin everything? Gumball was surely considering the possibility of Jamie forgiving him, but what if she didn't? He was guiltily relying on the idea that Jamie was so emotionally unstable that she would blindly run back to him, he felt like a dick thinking it but knew it was the only way.

"Get over here and apologize." Simba demanded.

Gumball was so use to be told to get out he felt resistance just taking a step in that direction. Everyone glared at him as we walked closer to their space, some whispered amongst themselves. Carrie sighed and flew over to the crying Jamie, she whispered the news. Jamie's head popped up, staring at the blue cat walking forwards.

"Don't let him!" Jamie begged; "Please I don't want to get hurt again!"

Tina cringed when she heard that, the fact that Gumball had emotionally hurt her was reason enough to kill him on the spot. The dinosaur sighed and turned to Jamie.

"He won't hurt you, he's here to talk to you." Tina reassured.

"You promise…." Jamie whispered, like a sister.

"…I promise." Tina said, refusing to look at her.

Gumball approached the bleachers, the kids considered him somewhat threatening seeing as how he disposed of Berkeley rather easily but they were still a little mad at him. They hoped Gumball had a good excuse and this is merely a misunderstanding. The cat looked down as he received angry and confused glares. He finally approached Jamie, he couldn't see her face but he could tell by her sniffling.

Gumball then sat down next to her, everyone backing away from then to give some privacy. Jamie immediately cringed and scooted away but Gumball grabbed her hand and prevented her from moving anywhere. She tried to pull her hand away but to no avail, however she didn't try to hit him which shocked many of the kids there.

"Look Jamie, I'm sorry for what happened." Gumball explained, squeezing her hand.

"Don't touch her like that." Uri said, noting his hand rubbing.

"I know how she likes to be touched, now leave us alone." Gumball said, scooting in closer to the reluctant Jamie. At least her tears had slowed down now, but she was ignoring him.

"I don't like this." Duperscrumphton stated.

"Deal with it." Simba demanded.

"Jamie, what you saw was a mistake." Gumball explained, hoping she would listen. "I was tricked into having a lunch with Penny so that she would kiss me, it wasn't meant to hurt you." Jamie then sighed and said something, quietly.

"Why did you kiss her?"

"…Because I liked her, and I thought I loved her honestly." Gumball said, making Jamie nodded and close her eyes. "But I learned I love you! Penny and I were talking about you, about how I loved you and I was having a hard time choosing but….i just had to see for myself."

"So you admit you wanted to kiss her?" Jamie asked, her voice sore.

"…..Yes, but I learned, I promise!" Gumball pleaded. Jamie sighed, not feeling any relief.

"You said you were tricked? So w-who tricked you?" Jamie asked, wondering who exactly was responsible.

"Um….Rachel was." Gumball said, purposely leaving out Darwin. Jamie cringed when she heard that before resting her head in her hand. "Gumball she's a-allied with us!"

"I know, she didn't know thought, and she's VERY sorry!" Gumball reassured.

"Yeah I bet…" Jamie whispered.

"What can I do to make it up to you?" Gumball asked; "Do you want me to leave the group?"

"….."

"…..I know what you want." Gumball said.

The boy then got up and kneeled down, putting himself in-between her legs in a rather odd manner. Jamie blushed through her tears and everyone else eyed each other before Gumball looked up at her.

"Beat me up even, it doesn't matter." Gumball said, almost casually.

"Doesn't matter?" Jamie repeated; "Why would you want me to beat you up?"

"Because right now everyone in here is my family, and now my family is on the line." Gumball explained; "I'm willing to do anything to keep my family and you. I was an idiot and I should've rejected the date before it even started, but I love you to no end and if beating me brings you pleasure then I'm more than willing to let you do it."

Everyone sat in silence, waiting for Jamie to make her move. Gumball had put his head in-between her legs, where Jamie can literally destroy his face. Jamie stared blankly at Gumball, her tears still rolling down her cheeks. It killed Gumball to see that.

"Jamie don't hold back, my family treated you bad as well so I had it coming." Gumball added, needing to get that off his chest. Jamie nodded, remembering that as well. She took her hands and grabbed his blue ears, pulling his head back slowly. Everyone looked upon this eagerly, knowing she'd beat him good.

"I don't want to hurt you, but you do deserve a punishment." Jamie said, her voice slowly returning to normal. She pulled his head back even more as she raised her hand. Jamie knew exactly what she would do.

*SMACK*

*SMACK

*SMACK*

Gumball shook his head, he was a bit distorted as he blinked and looked back at Jamie. She glared at him as the boy wondered what she hit. Suddenly, Gumball felt a sharp pain in his cheek. The pain was starting to hurt badly.

'She slapped me.' Gumball thought.

Everyone smirked, assuming Jamie would continue with punches. The girl looked at everyone before back down at Gumball, she then opened her legs even more for Gumball to leave. The cat got the message and stood up, walking out. Jamie then turned to Simba, ready to make her decision.

"What will it be?" Simba asked; "In or Out?"

"Gumball is In…" Jamie quickly replied. Some were shocked but most shrugged their shoulders, as long as Jamie was cool with it. The cat smiled but lowered his head.

"Right, we were worried there." Simba said, glad Gumball stayed. Jamie could feel some unsatisfied glares shooting at Gumball, especially from Tina so Jamie decided to deal with it.

"This was hard for me guys, and I know it was something we wont forget. So to make sure everyone knows that there is nothing between us that you need to worry about…" Jamie said as she turned to Gumball, her lips that had her salty tears on them made a smirk. A naughty one at Gumball. The cat made a confused frown, then he cocked a brow.

'Is she thinking what I'm thinking?' Gumball thought.

Everyone looked at each other, unaware of what she was going to do exactly. But Gumball could see through her red crying eyes, her dark eye brows which showed through her hair and the cute yet naughty smirk with a tear rolling down her cheek she was giving him exclusively.

"Why are you looking at him like that?" Simba asked.

"He came back, he chose me over Penny." Jamie said, looking over at Simba.

"So you honestly by into his plea?" Banana Joe asked.

"Yes, but I'll do more than buy it, I'll kiss it." Jamie smiled as she leaned in and kissed Gumball.

Everyone in the room lit up in shock, especially Tobias and Berkeley who looked with disbelief as Jamie's lips smash against Gumball's. The groups watched in silence as they heard Gumball and Jamie's giggles, like it was set up, the cat's bottom blue lip was being sucked by Jamie's green ones. The ram girl then leaned into his ear.

"I'm so glad to have these lips back." Jamie growled.

"Ditto." Gumball sung.

"Put on a good show for them, do something with your hands I don't care." Jamie whispered as she sucked at his neck. Gumball knew everyone was watching in shock, and as Jamie sucked his neck he was forced to stare at Tina's shocked expression. Gumball then put up a forced smile, which constantly broke as she tickled his neck. Gumball then stupidly placed a hand on her posterior, causing Tina to blink and then growl.

"Ah ah ah, Gumball has gotten me in the mood, don't ruin it!" Jamie teased, returning her lips to his own.

"Where do I bring my other hand?" Gumball asked.

Gumball then sucked on her lips before pushing back with his own.

"In between my legs, make it look good, I want them to wonder a lot." Jamie whispered.

Jamie then collided their lips aggressively.

"But that's…"

Jamie then placed her hand in Gumball's shirt, causing him to jump.

"Do it, they'll be so freaked." Jamie laughed before sticking out her tongue.

Everyone watched in either excitement or horror as Gumball slowly brought his hand in between her shut tight legs, forcing him to dig inside a bit. Everyone gasped as Jamie then opened her legs as wide as possible.

"Oh GUMBALL!" Jamie moaned, taking her hand and grabbing his arm

"Alright, that's enough!" Berkeley said, pointing at Gumball's violating hand. "We get it, he's part of the family again."

"Berkeley, you're such an irritating sour puss." Jamie scolded, her voice and attitude near returned. She then turned her loving smile to the boy she once cried over. "Maybe I should invite him to our sex rounds."

"SEX?" Everyone shouted.

"We're kidding." Gumball told them.

"But let this…." Jamie said, pointing towards Gumball's stuck hand; "…Symbolize our love. The fact that his hand is there shall remind all of you that Gumball made a mistake, and that's it! You WILL not hold anything against him."

"We can't just forgive him like that." Banana Joe said.

"And remove that hand Jamie." Tina cringed.

"I know you can't, so here's the deal, Gumball will perform his final show tonight." Jamie said, gaining the attention of everyone. People started pulling out papers. Gumball however looked confused as hell.

"He will destroy Principal Brown's file on Raid." Jamie announced.

People looked at each other, knowing they needed to tell their squads and clubs but was Gumball up to the task. Gumball stared at Jamie, not aware if he should refuse.

"Then, and only then will Gumball be mine." Jamie said.

"A-Alright…" Gumball stuttered.

Jamie then collided her lips again as they exchanged saliva and wrapped their saliva, Gumball knew Jamie wanted him to make everyone in the room uncomfortable by basically taking her in front of them. Gumball then grabbed at her crotch, rubbing the odd feeling area. His other hand pushed her head forwards and forced her to kiss him, with drool pouring in between their wild tongues.

Everyone in the crowd couldn't stop looking at Gumball's violating hand. The groups knew that Jamie was a tough cookie and that she promised in the past to never be owned or touched In a submissive way. But here was Gumball Watterson, and she was practically begging him to do what many believed they would never see. Tina was the most uncomfortable, a person who she felt like was her sister was basically placing Gumball on a level of respect that she was, even higher. She felt a bit, envious.

Jamie and Gumball broke the kiss, Gumball removed his hand from her crotch. Jamie personally wanted his hand back as he had done such a good job of pleasing her for a short time. She fixed her overalls and t-shirt before standing up and looking at Tina. The dinosaur stared blankly at her before Jamie blew her a kiss. Then she turned to Gumball,

"Now lets go Gummypuss, and you can tell me more about this 'date' on our walk." Jamie said, grabbing Gumball bridal style. "WOAH!" He cried. "Don't worry, you're in my hands….for now." Jamie smiled as she carried him down the bleachers, a different person from the one that ran up. Everyone's eyes followed as the girl carried the idiotic boy down the bleachers. Jamie however stopped at Berkeley and looked at him, the pencil flinched.

"I heard everything you said to him, it may have been appropriate then, but don't you ever say it again."

Jamie continued with the blushing and embarrassed Gumball to the exit. Tina looked around, embarrassed, before staring back at Jamie. Berkeley merely snarled before folding his arms and turning his head.

Everyone watched with a blank stare as Jamie exited the room with Gumball. Nobody knew exactly what to say after that. Simba was the first to break the silence.

"Well….im glad she forgave Gumball." Simba said.

"I'm not, that kid has got shit to prove." Berkeley snarled.

"Hey, how come she didn't get mad at you Tina for saying that stuff to Gumball?" Anton asked.

"That's true, you talked more shit than Berkeley It seemed." The snowman noted.

"Because…I guess she knows I was just being over protective." Tina said quietly.

Jamie held Gumball for a while as she reached the end of the hallway, her smile faded and she looked at the Gumball she held. She sighed and immediately dropped him, causing him to crash on the floor.

"OW!" Gumball cried.

"Get up, you cheater." Jamie snarled.

"…..You're still mad at me?" Gumball asked; "All that was just a show?"

"I may forgive you, but you still cheated. You didn't prove your love for me, I did all the work anyways." Jamie said bluntly, before walking back to class. Gumball however got up and shouted to her.

"So are we still together?"

"Yes of course, but as far as I'm concerned I'm dating a cheater and a liar."

"Don't say that." Gumball said, getting up and walking to her.

"Why not, even if you are sorry what am I supposed to do? Just pretend like it didn't happen?" Jamie asked, shivering at his touch when he grabbed her shoulder. Gumball sighed. "I thought you wanted me to touch you?"

"I do, but not some peanut kisser, I want my Gumball." Jamie demanded; "A boy who is willing to touch and kiss me how he likes, not always worried about touching me wrong or licking me badly because he kissed Penny and he doesn't want me mad." Jamie said quietly.

"So….you want me to treat you how I like, and not slave to you because I made a mistake?" Gumball whispered. Jamie nodded, glad he finally understood.

"I can ignore it Gumball, but can you?" She asked.

"YES! YES I CAN!" Gumball screamed, hoping she will understand.

Gumball then kissed her cheek before taking his lips and planned to kiss her sweet lips but Jamie put a hand to it. Gumball realized he was blocked and sighed before pulling away.

"Nice try, but kissing me wildly wont ignore it." Jamie said; "I need to feel you TOOK me, without thought of fixing that accident of yours."

"I understand." Gumball muttered.

"Anyways, I have to go to class, bye." Jamie said, walking off into the opposite corridor.

Gumball groaned before putting his hands in his pockets and walked back to class. He approached Ms. Simian's class and opened the door. He hated the fact that almost all his periods were Ms. Simian, and of course the old monkey glared at him as he walked to his seat. Thankfully there were no Raid agents in this class aside from Anton and Tina, who somehow managed to get here before he did.

"Watterson, its three minutes after the late bell." Ms. Simian said, knowing it wouldn't mean shit to him.

"I know, sorry." Gumball said unenthusiastically and with a glare on his face. He immediately avoided the confused looks of the girls, the indifferent looks of the guys, the slightly angered glare of Tina and the more confused glare of Anton, the sad look on Penny, and the slightly happy look on Darwin. Gumball sat down in the desk in front of Anton and Tina, in which he immediately heard a growl. Both Anton and Gumball turned around and looked up at Tina.

"What's the matter?" Gumball asked, carelessly.

"You touched Jamie like that, in places….i couldn't imagine she'd allow." Tina said.

"I know, she wanted me to." Gumball said. Tina blinked for a second, now confused.

"So…why are you so sad looking? Shouldn't you be happy you got everything you wanted?" Tina asked.

"Tina, I didn't get everything I wanted. She's still mad at me, and I have to prove that what happened….." Gumball stopped, looking over to see if Penny was listening. She wasn't. "….We can both ignore and get over."

"Well you played her pretty bad." Tina huffed.

"Why are you so against me?" Gumball asked, a little mad.

"Please, I'm barely against you." Tina lied.

"I didn't forget what you said to me before you tried to stomp me, you were mad." Gumball noted.

"Before Jamie forgave you….wasn't everyone?" Tina asked, knowing the answer.

"Whatever Tina, I'm so tired of you." Gumball grunted before turning back.

"Don't start with me Gumball." Tina whispered threateningly in his ear; "I haven't stomped you yet."

"You WONT because Jamie would never forgive you!" Gumball said, glaring at Tina. Inviting a few stares with the volume of his voice. Tina looked around uncomfortably.

"Haha, WHAT?" Tina asked, gaining the attention of some more students; "Just remember RUNT, I've made her mad before, I can do it again!"

"Whatever." Gumball muttered; "I was just trying to be nice to you, trying to get you to listen to me but you didn't, you will never listen to me. I had to inappropriately grope a girl I promised I wouldn't touch after she told me to do it, just so that you'd know I was under her protection."

Tina blinked, unaware that Jamie had told Gumball to grope her.

"When did she say this?" Tina asked.

"She whispered it while we were kissing, to make sure you saw everything." Gumball muttered; "Why are you so concerned with me?" Tina sighed, knowing she couldn't say it in class.

"I'll explain later, I assume you're walking with Jamie?" Tina asked.

"I hope so." Gumball said.

"Good, it will be a little odd but I guess she won't leave us alone." Tina sighed.

-Afterschool—

"I thought we were going to hang out?" Darwin asked.

"This is REALLY important to me Darwin, just go home and I'll be there to hang out." Gumball promised.

"Fine, whatever." Darwin said as he boarded the bus.

Gumball sat outside the school until Jamie and Tina walked out, talking to each other as Jamie noticed Gumball. "What are you doing here?" She asked. Gumball jumped up and greeted them. "I was going to talk with Tina today." Jamie looked up at Tina before back at Gumball.

"Gumball honey, you're trying too hard. You can please me during a time when I'm not clearly occupied." Jamie said with a grin; "Today isn't my day to walk home with you."

"Sorry Jamie, you misheard me, I said I was talking with Tina today, not you." Gumball said, flatly. Jamie's grin turned to a frown as she looked at Tina.

"True?" She asked.

"Yes it is, I got to talk to Gumball." Tina said as she walked past Jamie and to Gumball.

"Alright Gumball, you know where I live, let's go." Tina said.

"W-Wait!" Jamie cried, grabbing onto Gumball's arm. She looked in his eyes, he seemed to view her indifferently which wasn't how he used to see her.

'I bet he's trying to make me come onto him again, I'm not falling for it Gumball!' Jamie thought, a little angry that Gumball showed no real care for her.

"So you're ditching me?" Jamie asked Tina.

"Well, you can come along if you like." Tina offered.

Jamie looked at Gumball who shrugged his shoulders and lightly pulled his hand away. He then turned to Tina. "Ready to go?" Gumball asked. "Yeah." Tina said as she walked away.

"Um Gumball…" Jamie said, at a loss of words.

"Oh, yeah right." Gumball said before grabbing her shoulders and kissing her green CGI cheek. The girl blushed as Gumball smiled and walked off. Jamie didn't really comprehend what happened, did Gumball Tristopher Watterson just kiss her on the cheek. That didn't make any sense.

"What happened to lips!" Jamie shouted. Gumball and Tina turned around, watching Jamie march down and approached them. She angrily turned to Gumball.

"Okay Gummypuss let's get one thing straight." Jamie hissed, getting in his face.

"W-What?" Gumball asked.

"Don't you kiss me on the cheek like a mommy, you kiss me on the lips like a BOYFRIEND, you understand?" Jamie asked.

"Right, whatever." Gumball said, breaking her arms away; "Well it looks like she's on board now."

"That's my sister Gumball, so no duh!" Jamie whined.

"So anyways like I was saying, lets hit the 7-11." Tina said, knowing it was coming up soon.

The three kids walked into the 7-11, one Gumball and Jamie went to not too long ago. The cat was followed shyly by the horned girl as he picked out a Kit-Kat. He eyed her suspiciously as he went over to drink areas as he pulled out a huge 2 liter Pepsi. The dinosaur squeezed her way into the store and went over to the candy section.

Gumball and Jamie, the girl empty handed, walked over to the counter where a snake was with a turban. He went over and scanned the soda and candy before quickly eyeing Tina, who was trying to steal. The dinosaur locked eyes with the snake and made an innocent smile.

"Hmmm….anyways that's Seven dollars."

"Right…..here." Gumball said, digging in his pockets and pulling out a five and two ones. The snake nodded before putting the money in the register and then making a quiet hiss. Gumball grabbed his soda and candy bar and walked out the door. Jamie and Gumball sat on the curb, Jamie watched Gumball as he sucked on the 2 liter coke. Gumball noticed Jamie, astonished, watching him closely.

'He's trying to break me, that has to be it!' Jamie thought.

"Jamie, you didn't get anything?" Gumball asked.

"Um….no, I'm on a diet." Jamie lied.

"Oh, that's weird." Gumball said, sucking on the soda again.

"Yeah, hey remember the last time we were here and you bought a huge 2 liter and we SHARED it?" She asked, trying to sound innocent here.

"Yes I do, but where is Tina, she's taking a while." Gumball said.

"She's stealing some shit, but anyways." Jamie said, not wanting to get off track. Gumball swallowed down more soda as Jamie watched him, irritated. She huffed and got up, going back into the store. Gumball watched her go inside, he rolled his eyes and ate some of his candy. Jamie looked a little red as she grabbed some Dots and a 2 liter Mountain Dew. Tina was putting some food in her mouth as she ran out the door.

"HEY!" The cobra shouted, shooting out from the counter. Jamie grinned, watching the cobra harass Tina. The girl then snuck out with the food and approached Gumball, dropping her things on the ground.

"Thanks for buying me stuff, boyfriend." Jamie groaned.

"I'll make it up to you." Gumball said, causally. Jamie cocked an eyebrow.

"Hmm? Like what?" Jamie asked.

"I'll buy you something or whatever." Gumball said, sipping on his soda. Jamie groaned and tore the wrapper on her candy. "I suggest not getting comfortable, Tina should be busting out any minute." Jamie announced, grabbing her things and walking out the parking lot.

"Hmm?" Gumball moaned, before twisting around.

"RUN!" Tina roared, her tiny hands carrying stolen products. The cobra busted out behind her with a riffle of some sort. "YOU GET BACK HERE!" He shouted.

"WOAH!" Gumball screamed, before the cobra pointed the riffle at him.

"YOU WITH THAT DINO?" The cobra asked.

"NO NO!" Gumball screamed, grabbing his two products and running away. He ran past the corner as fast as he could until he stopped in the middle of the neighborhood. Nothing but apartments, a slightly lower class but considerably middle class neighborhood.

"Jamie? Tina?" Gumball called.

"Boy, look at you." Jamie laughed with Tina. Gumball flinched at her voice before wiping his forehead. Gumball then looked at the stolen products Tina had, he then looked at the smile on her face.

"Stealing Tina? Why would you do that?" Gumball asked. Tina and Jamie smirked.

"Did the same kid who vandalized the school just say that?" Jamie asked.

"Yeah, because stealing and breaking things aren't the same thing." Gumball said, serious.

"You're technically stealing their money when they have to fix your shit." Tina laughed.

"I guess….but stealing from a family owned 7-11?" Gumball asked, reluctant.

"Winners can't be choosers." Tina replied.

"That's not how the ph-…nevermind." Gumball said.

"Well lets go to the park and check out the stuff you stole, sis." Jamie said, jumping on Tina's tail and climbing onto her back. Tina then looked at Gumball, in which the cat jumped.

"I'm still a bit creep'd out about getting o-"

"GET ON!" Tina roared, getting some people to quickly peak out their windows.

"OKAY OKAY!"

Tina carried them to a park, where they laid for a while, Tina and Jamie reading magazines while Gumball tiresomely did his Homework. Jamie and Tina kept giggling at the content they stole, which gained a couple glances from Gumball every now and then.

"Oh my God!" Jamie said, lifting up one magazine.

"Yeah…I didn't mean to steal it I just sorta grabbed it." Tina said, Jamie was laying on Tina's side while the dinosaur laid on her stomach.

"…..Hmm, I wonder what Gumball thinks about it." Jamie said, looking over at Gumball.

"Maybe you should talk to him, he IS your boyfriend after all." Tina said, more concerned with her magazine for dinosaurs. A blush appeared on Jamie's face as she evilly glared at her boyfriend a couple of feet away from her.

"Gumball, come here." Jamie said, gaining the cats attention.

"Yes Jamie, whats up?" He asked, taking a seat next to her. Jamie scooted up close and wrapped an arm around the cat. Gumball cocked a brow and looked at her beauty, before looking at her tight grip.

"Sorta tight, don't you think?" Gumball said, trying to get more comfortable.

"I just wanted to share this with you." Jamie smiled, putting the magazine on his lap.

-The Teacher's Lounge 5:01pm—

"Thank you Ms. Simian, you can leave now." Principal Brown said, dismissing the baboon as the furry slug and the school consoler Small rested in the room. Brown grabbed his coffee cup and filled the cup up with coffee before glancing over at Small who seemed a little tired.

"The sun is still out." Principal Brown said, staring out the window.

"Are you kidding, its going down fast." Mr. Small commented, the sun had been lower, and the sky was showing signs of turning pink.

"Well, we got those PTA's tonight." Principal Brown said; "At Eight, so I need to double check my paperwork before we do it." Mr. Small grinned as he watched him fiddle with the messy stack of papers.

"Alright, so why do I have to stay here?" Mr. Small asked, gaining an irritated glare from Principal Brown.

"Because Gumball decided to wash your room and alter your diploma." Principal Brown said, hinting at the vandalism.

"We don't know he did it, and really it's just a copy." Mr. Small shrugged.

"You need not that attitude when Mrs. Watterson gets here." Principal Brown said, eyeing Small suspiciously.

"Yeah I know, but it's not just Gumball's mom its….um…Jamie's Mom as well?" Mr. Small asked, getting up and grabbing his own coffee cup.

"Yes of course, since Jamie probably helped Gumball. I know there were more students but this is the only proof we really have." Principal Brown exclaimed, writing something on the papers. Mr. Small giggled, causing Principal Brown to jag his head upwards.

"Something funny?" He asked.

"It's just that you referred to a 'hunch' as evidence." Mr. Small laughed.

"And that's funny to you, Steve?" Principal Brown said; "The agents also concluded they were criminals as well."

'Uh oh, he said Steve, better lower it a bit.' Mr. Small thought.

"No, of course not Mr. Brown, I just thought the evidence themselves were funny. And what agents?" Mr. Small asked, filling up the coffee cup. "I had agents watch Gumball during our conversation, they reported him trashing the files." Mr. Small glared at the unsuspecting slug when he said that.

"So what do you plan to do with this evidence?" Mr. Small asked, praying that answer wouldn't be what he thought it was.

"If we're luckily, Gumball Watterson transferred to an out of district Elmore Middle School, possibly but unlikely Darwin, unfortunately Anais will be sent to a normal Elementary school where honestly she belongs in the first place, and Jamie expelled and sent to the Elmore Juvenile Detention Center, along with that sister of hers, Kieara." Principal Brown muttered, sipping on his hot coffee.

Mr. Small stared at him in disbelief, unaware his master plan was to wipe the Wattersons out of the school, and exile Jamie.

"You want all that?" Mr. Small whispered.

"Of course, why not? It's about time the Wattersons went to a Middle school aside from Elmorian one, or at least one of smaller town schools. They had this coming, I mean who raises a kid like Gumball, adopts a rotten childlike Darwin, and sends their daughter to a Middle school when she belong in an Elementary school? Lazy parents, that's what." Principal Brown said coldly; "Send them ALL out."

"And what about Jamie? Once she goes to that detention center you can say goodbye to any future she has." Mr. Small pointed out.

"Like she had one in the first place, ha!" Principal Brown laughed.

"Heh, heh." Mr. Small faked, in his mind he was freaking out. 'I don't want to be responsible for this.'

"Don't worry Small, the District Supervisor should be here in about an hour to judge their fates. Then we get a nice promotion, well deserving." Principal Brown said, sounding smug.

"What about Darwin?" Mr. Small asked; "That kid has broken his back trying to make you proud."

"Um, I thought we were done with this but Darwin is stupid, plain and simple." Principal Brown admitted. Upon hearing this, Mr. Small accidentally shook some of his coffee on the table.

'How DARE he say that about a STUDENT!'

"Okay, and what do you plan to gain from this?" Mr. Small asked, disgusted.

"We can get rid of that stupid little group those kids started." Principal Brown said; "You remember, I told you about it before. You know it's the source of all these problems, and it's been loud and proud ever since Gumball grew a pair."

"The group?" Mr. Small asked, his memory a bit skewed.

"The group they started a while back. It's a bunch of clubs that prank the system because they're piss poor at school and can't accept the fact that, that stupid kid got expelled." Principal Brown said bluntly.

"Oh, right THAT group." Mr. Small said; "Just report it to the main office."

"Cant, they'll close the school since they consider a group of this magnitude and objective a 'gang', which is ridiculous but whatever." Principal Brown said, getting up and staring at the now orange sky.

"You know, I've never been this open with a teacher before, besides Simian." Principal Brown said; "Oh I think we think alike, that's why."

Mr. Small snarled at that remark, but wouldn't dare vocally explain it.

"Yes sir, I guess we do think alike." Mr. Small said; "But is flooding a room, prank calls, fires on pools, spray painting, and so on, is that without solid evidence really going to work?"

"Eh, I know how to sell it. Besides, we know it's true, but we can't prove it so it's not like I'm necessarily lying anyways." Principal Brown shrugged.

"But the kids are trying to say something, shouldn't we at least hear them out?" Mr. Small asked, lowering his voice at the end.

"What's there to hear?" Brown asked, a bit humored by his comment. "If I wanted to hear 'no homework' and 'recess all day' I'd just socialize with them."

"But that's not what they said, at least not what Gumball said when he stood up to me. Admittedly I was a bit angered but he ma-"

"So you're taking Gumball seriously now?" Principal Brown asked.

"…No sir." He replied.

"Gumball can do that to you. I don't know if the kid grew a brain or an attitude but he couldn't have grown it at a worse time. Now he's been intellectually challenging me, something I haven't faced in a long time, and his arrogance makes him seem confident."

"Arrogance?" Mr. Small asked, not really sure what he was talking about.

"Arrogance, straight arrogance. You should hear him, he thinks outside the box now, but with all that intelligence he concludes idiotic things. SO basically it's a well-oiled machine that has the final component missing and ruins everything. Although I'll be glad to destroy this once he's replaced to a school where intelligence gets you beaten." Brown said coldly, he then turned to Mr. Small.

"Don't worry, I altered some things in the paperwork to make it seem solid. But you should get some fresh air, I don't need stutters when I face those old clocks." Principal Brown remarked, returning to the table.

'I can't allow this to happen, that Superintendent from the head of city will be here to ruin those kids!'

"Right sir, I'll call the parents to inform them that they're required soon." Mr. Small said, getting up and leaving the room. As the cloud walked down the hallways, he repeatedly muttered to himself.

"That scumbag, I knew he was against the students." Mr. Small scowled, storming down the empty hallways. As the cloud made his way to his office something flashed in his mind.

"…Hm, what was it that Gumball said?" Mr. Small said, thinking back to when he talked out in front of everyone.

"WHAT IF YOU WERENT HELPING THEM? AND YOU JUST SORTA PISSED THEM OFF!"

"Hmm, what if he's right? I never really got a thanks aside from those that their parents forced them to say."

"HOW DOES THAT CHANGE THE FACT THAT YOU DIDN'T LOSE YOUR REAL DIPLOMA OR THE FACT THAT YOUR STUDENTS DON'T LIKE YOU! MAYBE IF YOU GOT OVER THE IDEA THAT HAVING A DIPLOMA MAKES Y-"

"Really unfortunate Gumball didn't finish his sentence, but I'm sure I know of the outcome. I need to stop using my work as an excuse and start using my success, but so far, I have little of that. The first thing I need to do….is to stop Principal Brown!" Mr. Small said to himself, running into his office and picking up the phone.

-Watterson's House—

"It's getting close to that PTA, I presume Gumball will be home soon." Nicole said, walking out the living room. Anais was watching TV with an unenthusiastic Darwin. The rabbit noticed his lack of interest.

"Darwin, whats wrong?" She asked.

"Gumball was supposed to be home to play Dodge or Dare with me." Darwin huffed.

"Speaking of which!" Nicole said, walking back into the living room; "How is Gumball doing?" Darwin and Anais looked at her oddly. "Specifically…" Anais said, trying to get a little bit more specific.

"I mean in terms of attitude." Nicole smiled.

"Oh, I wouldn't know. Darwin?" Anais said, knowing he knew.

"A little weird, still a bit depressed, but I doubt it's because of us." Darwin said, not wanting to mention the fact that Rachel and Darwin ruined Gumball's date.

"What's he 'sad' about? It hasn't anything to do with me, right?" Nicole asked.

"I don't think so, he's been pretty cool about you." Darwin said; "But I don't think you should slave to him." Nicole grinned when Darwin said that. Anais looked over, rather surprised. "Elaborate, Darwin." Nicole said.

"I think Gumball will return to normal when you do, i.e. pretending like nothing happened." Darwin said.

"You can't just ignore the week or two of terror I've…"

Darwin and Anais glared at her.

"I mean, 'we've'…cause this family, it's not healthy."

Darwin smiled at his mother, finding that rather funny to listen to.

"Maybe as an adult it works, but kids just want to forget. Treat Gumball like you normal do, just don't ease up, Granny Jojo said it the best; 'It's not that big of a deal, people get slapped all the time.'"

Nicole smiled at her son's input, knowing it to be true. As she turned around and faced the kitchen, one more question popped her brain.

"Wait, when did your grandmother say that?" Nicole asked.

"Two days ago, she called for Dad." Anais butted in, since she ease dropped on the conversation.

"Oh okay, well thanks Darwin, although if you keep your grades the same." Nicole said, holding his test papers which had a giant D+ on it; "You might regret it." Nicole said, serious, as she walked back in the kitchen. Darwin smiled uncomfortably as he sat back in the couch, followed by a pitiful glare from Anais.

"D+? You serious?" She asked.

"Hey, I don't technically have to do well till High School!" Darwin whined.

-The Park—

"And look at that tongue." Jamie commented, holding down Gumball as she shoved the magazine in his face.

"J-Jamie stop!" Gumball cried, covering his crotch.

"Why you touching yourself down there? Do this pics excite you?" Jamie laughed as she kept maneuvering the magazine for him to see.

"You like Playboy?" She asked.

"NO!" Gumball said, deciding to keep his eyes shut.

"…..You can't do that." Jamie said, sourly.

"Yes I can, now what time is it cause I need to get home." Gumball said, keeping his eyes shut.

"It's around 5:15, here I'll throw your trash away." Jamie said as she got up and grabbed his bottles. She then picked up magazines they were done with before walking to a tree. She then realized something.

"Where is the trash?" She asked.

"It's like…on the other side of the park, like right there." Gumball said, pointing to a little dot which was the trash can. Jamie sighed and began her walk. Gumball and Tina watched her as she walked to the trashcan, dragging her feet in the cool grass.

"So, I guess you wanna know?" Tina asked Gumball, the cat looked up in confusion before remembering and slapping his head.

"Right, right, so yeah tell me." Gumball said.

"Well, to be frank, I grew up with Jamie." Tina explained; "We were the lonely girls in Elementary school." The dinosaur explained, Gumball cocked a brow, unaware Tina was lonely.

"Back then, she was a grade above me, until Ms. Simian held her back but before we were always hanging out whenever we could." Tina said, swinging her tail. "I defended her in a fight one day and I think that's when we really hit it off."

"A fight?" Gumball asked.

"Yeah, she had talked some shit and I ended up defending her. We won, and made some more friends." Tina said.

"At Elmore Elementary?" Gumball asked.

"Oh no no, we were sent to 'those' schools down on the edge." Tina explained, referencing the boarder of Elmore. "Rockridge, where all the bad kids were sent." Tina said; "Or so they said."

"What do you mean?" Gumball asked.

"Never listen to the school advisors, we were little kids, we weren't bad and we didn't know what 'bad' was." Tina said, grinning at the memories; "We became bad because that's the environment we lived in and went to school in."

"Okay, so continue." Gumball said.

"Well we became sisters, although despite my problems my Dad was very weird with me. He taught me how to survive and fight, he's pretty cold about it, you met him once." Tina said, referencing the time Nicole drove him down to her place to discuss bullying.

"Yeah I remember." Gumball grinned.

"Anyways, Jamie's Mom is a little crazy. Drinks and everything. So she didn't have much to look up to, which is why she walks in her mom's footsteps of treating everyone like shit. I often held her back and had her sleep at my dump when her mother beat her." Tina said, almost casually.

"Her Mom beat her?" Gumball asked.

"Yes, I think that's why she relates to you since she went through the same thing you did. Although honestly it was just a slap in your case and it was fists in hers." Tina said, rolling her eyes.

"Don't say that, that slap hurt." Gumball whined.

"Gumball, please, it's a slap!" Tina said, irritated with his argument.

"It was like a f-"

"A slap, a hard slap but still a slap. Your mother loves you, get over it." Tina said, a tad angry and envious.

"Okay, I guess."

"Anyways, so basically I've been really protective of her. Beating up her enemies, before she did it herself, not letting people talk about her behind her back and whatever. So when I found out she liked you I was….creeped." Tina said honestly.

"Creeped?" He asked.

"Well she seemed to hate you since the beginning of this year and then suddenly she likes you? Like one day she's making jokes about you, and the next day she doodles you in her notebook." Tina said, blushing a bit. Gumball smiled at the thought of Jamie drawing him.

"Which notebook?" Gumball asked.

"None of your business. Anyways, I tried to get her to stop but she was eager to make you like her." Tina said; "No matter what, she wanted you to do drugs, and she wanted you to get beaten more."

"She…did?" Gumball asked.

"Yes, you could relate to her then. She wants you to come to her in tears, it's probably her new dream but suddenly she's been crying to you." Tina said, glancing over at the dot that was Jamie. Gumball twiddled with his fingers before asking another question.

"So, you're cool with me?" Gumball asked.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be saying this to you. Nobody knows this, aside from Jamie and I." Tina said.

"Well I was just curious, the way to talked to me today I ass-"

"Gumball, I was mad. I was finally accepting you and then you do something that breaks her heart. That pissed me off, and honestly I'm still a bit mad." Tina said, glaring at him. Gumball nodded, wishing it weren't so but really had nothing in his defense.

"I don't know what you were trying to read from Penny, but you better not do it again."

"Of course not…oh and she's coming back." Gumball whispered, them both looking at Jamie. The girl walked over, noticing their weird stares. Her eyes looked around before raising her hands in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Jamie asked.

"Nothing." Tina replied, getting up.

"…..Were you telling Gumball secrets about me?" Jamie asked, folding her arms.

"No, I told you it was nothing." Tina replied, Jamie looked at Gumball suspiciously. The cat made a fake smile. Jamie rolled her eyes, seeing right through Gumball.

"Sis…" Jamie said, seriously. Tina refused to look at her. "I will tell Gumball more about me when it's time to, but after today it's really not appropriate to tell my little peanut kissy boyfriend about me."

Gumball cringed at that remark, knowing she was still mad.

"But it's cute you told Gumball little secrets about me." Jamie snickered; "So c'mon, tell me them."

"No." Tina said, walking towards Gumball house with Gumball and Jamie following.

"Was it….sexual?" Jamie said, blushing madly with a huge grin. Gumball did the same, but without the grin and more of a pucker. Trying not to be noticed.

"No, trust me, even I'm not an expert of that." Tina said, irritated.

"Jamie….are you a virgin?" Gumball asked.

"Of course, but I doubt I will stay that way for long." Jamie smiled, wrapping an arm around Gumball.

"And you better be excited otherwise i-"

"Weren't you like testing me or something?" Gumball asked, trying to change the subject.

"….Shut up, Gumball." Jamie snarled; "I just can't keep myself away from you, but I'm still pissed off."

"Yeah I bet." Gumball muttered.

"I am, you WONT get away with kissing another girl…..but what the fuck ever, you still love me and that's all that matters." Jamie said, lovingly; "Or at least until I can use it against you."

"Oh great." Gumball groaned.

"Don't worry Gumball, as long as you keep her happy I'm sure she won't do anything against you." Tina said, not really involved in the conversation.

"Damn straight sister!" Jamie laughed, shaking Gumball around.

-Watterson's Block—6:12pm, Sunset-

"I think its funnier that the police car was total garbage and like flipped over!" Gumball laughed.

"I KNOW!" Jamie shouted; "It like drove up the ramp and like blew up."

"I didn't know that Fingerprint guy was such a good driver, he like out-swooped three cop cars." Tina said.

"Too bad we didn't see all of it." Jamie replied.

"I think we know what happened, he probably crashed into something like he always does." Gumball said.

"Yeah, he's a klutz when he gets downtown." Jamie said, before approaching the front of Gumball's house. She cringed at the sight of it, flashing back to 'that' night. Gumball then waved to Tina and Jamie.

"Thanks for coming home with me, I'll see you guys tomorrow." Gumball said as he walked back to his house. Jamie cocked a brow and ran up to him.

"Um, kiss me dumbass." Jamie said.

"Oh that's rig-"

Jamie then delivered her kiss, lightly touching her lips with his. Tina sighed as Jamie softly licked at Gumball's lips, the cat received his treatment gladly. Jamie then sucked at his top lip, before pulling her head back and stretching his lip out. Gumball giggled a bit as Jamie released his lip, and withdrew her arms from his body.

"Why, that was short." Gumball coughed.

"We don't need to make out like crazies every second, Hornypuss." Jamie teased.

"Stop getting so sexual with him, I'm tired of watching it every day." Tina whined.

Thus Tina and Jamie said their goodbyes and walked away. Gumball waved and walked to the porch. Gumball then realized he just walked with the most feared people at Elmore Jr. High, and had normal conversation with them. He made a fist pump before opening the door.

"Hi Gumball!" Darwin said.

"Hey Gumball." Anais said, more concerned with the Television.

"Hi, is Mom home?" Gumball asked, not really caring but trying to strike conversation.

"I'm here Gumball." Nicole said, coming out the kitchen with a bowl in hand. "Where were you, coming home so late?" Gumball was a bit taken back by the question, assuming they were still on an 'awkward hate' relationship. Such a typical, overly concerned, motherly question isn't really what he expected.

"I was walking with friends." Gumball said, a bit oddly.

"Well just because you were gone doesn't mean you can come home whenever you want, if you plan on living here Gumball, you get home before four o' clock." Nicole said sternly yet calmly while mixing the contents in her bowl.

"Ooooookay?" Gumball said, eyeing her oddly. Nicole glared back, her calm eyes basically read 'I'm not sucking up to you anymore.' Darwin and Anais couldn't help but tune in on this.

"I'm not kidding Gumball. Anyways, we're having Macaroni and Cheese and Fish tonight." Nicole announced to him.

"Ew, Mrs. Mom, why?" Darwin whined.

"Darwin, we need our protein, but you don't have to eat the fish." Nicole explained.

"Alright, thanks mom." Gumball said, almost rhetorically.

"Your PTA is at eight, so change your clothes and get ready to go." Nicole said, walking back into the kitchen. "And Gumball, you better not have done anything bad or your grounded!" She shouted from the kitchen.

"Man, attitude." Gumball whined.

"Where were you?" Darwin asked.

"Hanging out with Jamie and Tina." Gumball groaned, more concerned with his mother.

"Oh yeah, so is everything cool with us after…" Darwin hinted, which reminded Gumball of the terror he dealt with. The cat smirked, while Anais looked over, unaware of what they were talking about it.

"Look buddy, if you want to help me out next time, don't try that again." Gumball said, laughing a bit; "If it weren't for her, I doubt we'd be together right now."

Darwin nodded, knowing that basically meant he 'fucked up.'

"Well, I'll make sure I won't do it again." Darwin reasoned, gaining an odd hug by Gumball. The cat embraced him, making sure that they could still hug like the old days.

"Alright, its fine." Gumball said, pulling away.

"What are you talking about?" Anais asked.

"Nothing." Gumball and Darwin said in unison.

-Jamie's House-

"If she tries anything, run out and come to my place." Tina said.

The skies were light blue yet the ground was dark. It had that 'verge of night, after sunset' feel about it. The wind had a low blow, slightly shaking the hairs on Jamie's face. The noises the cars made flushed through the wind before fading in the back. Jamie looked up, staring at a plane making a noticeable but not loud jet noise. The girl sighed, before looking back at the almost silhouette dinosaur, her head elevated up with the fading to black, blue skies above her. People talking and dogs barking occasionally, with the passing freight train making little tingles of noise in the background, with car doors being slammed and some people laughing. The neighborhood in which Jamie lived in had no clue what would happen in these next few hours.

"Jamie, did you hear me?" Tina asked, softly.

"Yeah, I know." Jamie said, chewing on a piece of stolen gum.

"The minute she hits you, no more sitting there and taking it. You can bring your sisters along as well." Tina said, leaning down and sitting on her stomach.

"Yeah, thanks Tina." Jamie said before hugging her huge dino muzzle. "I wish I had Gumball with me."

"You forgave him for reals now?" Tina asked.

"Almost, I just need to make sure he'll protect me. I don't want to pressure him into anything or him merely liking me for my…." Jamie said, hinting at her blunt sessions of kissing.

"Alright, I'll see you later." Jamie said before walking away. The street rumbled for a couple seconds while Jamie stared up at the house. The cgi green girl let out a sigh before turning to the house and knocking on the door.

It was near 7:13, way too late for her. She knew it was wrong, and she didn't like worrying her mother, but her mother created an environment that wasn't necessarily pleasant. The door opened, to the large figure of a black haired Jamie, known as Denise.

Jamie cocked a brow at her appearance; Long spandex black pants, a white shirt that went down to the beginning of her hips, similar to Nicole's but with the collar out and nicely patted. Her hair was combed well and her horns were shinny. She looked like a very subtle collage mom, and it looked similar to Nicole's fashion.

Jamie's jaw nearly dropped, because for once in her lifetime she didn't look like a drunk. Usually she spent her time at home, or at the grocery store, both working and shopping there, looking like a crazy twisted haired drunk. Now she looked like a soccer mom.

"Jamie, what are you doing back so late?" Denise asked, nearly calm but hinted that South-East accent of hers.

"Uhhh…" Was all Jamie could say. 'She doesn't even look this good for Church!'

"If you're wondering about my outfit, it's my new style, there is going to be some changes around here." Denise said before letting Jamie inside.

The little horned girl followed like a zombie, immediately clung to whatever this crazy female had to say. As she walked through the door she smelled carpet cleaner, which was usually as rare as gold in their house. Her eyes immediately flickered to the sight of her new living room.

''What the fuck…." Jamie muttered.

"Don't you cuss, Jamie!" Denise said, nearly screaming. That snapped Jamie out of it as she continued to look around the room. The couch and the main chair were cleaned. The once brown carpet actually looked light tan again. The walls…were still dirty but really there was little to care about. There were millions of boxes everywhere. The food and bottles were gone, sealed inside black plastic bags. Jamie's curious eyes lead her to the kitchen, where it was being cleaned by her two sisters, Princess and Kieara. They looked at her with grins on their faces before going back to work.

"Your sisters and I cleaned this place up, we were going to do it with you as well." Denise said calmly, sitting on the white couch.

"We're not finished, not even close, we just did the Living Room, my Room, the closets and so on. We'll put these boxes in Public Storage, and the trash in….the trash can." Denise concluded, pausing because this operation had a little shock on her for a second. Jamie was still in shock.

"Jamie, take off your shoes." Denise demanded.

"…"

"Take. Off. The. Shoes." Denise said again, emphasizing the words.

"…..OH RIGHT!" Jamie shouted, kicking her shoes right off. She then picked them up and put them in-between her arms. She then looked at the little dirt marks she had made.

"You'll be cleaning that shi-…stuff, later." Denise said, catching herself.

"What's going on?" Jamie asked, surprised she didn't ask it sooner.

"To make a long story short hun, I was talking to a friend and I'm changing the way we live. No more cussing. No more breaking things and not caring about anything." Denise said, before walking to the fridge.

"However, I will have my beer, I don't care if God says no." Denise said before grabbing a bottle and popping it open with her horns. She grabbed the top and threw it into the trash.

"Why….are you doing this?" Jamie asked.

"I told you, I was talking to an old friend of mine, a sister to me, her name Is Nicole Watterson." Denise said, drinking down her drink.

"Nicole…Watterson?" Jamie said outloud; "That means…"

"Gumball's mother, of course I thought I told you already." Denise said; "Y'all kids don't listen."

"You two hit it off?" Jamie asked.

"Yep, I know all about your little boyfriend." Denise said; "And I know all about everything you did to him, including sniffin'." Jamie gulped when she heard that, she hadn't smoked or did drugs for a while now but she didn't quit, she just forgot. And how did Gumball's mom learn that? More importantly, though Denise knew Jamie did drugs she didn't know she was a dealer or the fact that she did it so often.

"Here's the rules, if you want to live in my house…." Denise said, getting up to Jamie and towering over her. Jamie naturally cringed when she did this, expecting a punch. "…You will not smoke or disobey." Jamie blinked before opening her eyes, to her surprisingly calm mother.

"Get that look off your face girl, you'll get need Botox shots if you keep it up." Denise said, somewhat lightheartedly. Jamie blankly stared at her mother actually communicate to her in a non-threatening way.

"I'm not going to hit you anymore, I mean unless I need to, but don't worry because I will never hit you again or punch you for little things like being late or not getting me a beer." Denise said. Jamie then looked over to her sisters, her eyes basically begged for an explanation of some sort. Anything. Both the sisters grinned back, as if they were saying that 'it was weird but it's better than what we had before. Way better.'

"Now, yah haven't told me." She said, her beautiful body getting up and walking about. Jamie blushed at the thought of recognizing her mother as 'beautiful.' Jamie always assumed she resembled her mother, which lowered her self-esteem at times, but she never realized the face she was looking at wasn't her real face. Her body was even considerably impressive. A little belly fat, like most mothers after child birth, but her legs were nice and curvy, and a posterior a man would die for. Unlike her last pairs of spandex like pants that were baggy, these were sporty and tight. Her shirt was long but tight, not too tight but a nice t-shirt for women. And then….

'…..Oh my God…..is she wearing….a BRA?' Jamie thought, her eyes stretching wide as she noticed the slight creases around her neck area. Her breast for once looked presentable, if that was even the right word. Jamie often remembered times at the store her mother worked at, when customers and employees would stare at her breast and occasionally something poking out from both of them because she didn't wear a bra. Jamie still remembered the time she asked her why she didn't simply wear a bra, in which she replied 'because she didn't feel like it, and it itched.'

"Jamie….why are yah starin' at my breast for?" Denise asked. Jamie, upon hearing this, shook her head and looked at her. "I'm going freakin' crazy!" Jamie said, grabbing her horns; "That's a BRA!"

"Just cause I'm wearing a bra sweetheart, doesn't mean you're going crazy. " Denise said, folding her arms a bit. Jamie then made a goofy surprised expression, her mouth hanging open. Who the hell was this person?

"Well, if you don't got any more questions, you can chill for a while. Dinner will be ready in a second, and the kids are almost done cleaning their mess." Denise said, pointing at the boiling pot on the stove. Jamie gave a weak thumbs up as Denise turned around and walked away. She walked into her room before Princess and Kieara ran out the kitchen.

"Who the hell is that?" Jamie whispered.

"I dunno, she's some soccer mom in Mama's body!" Kieara said.

"I like the change." Princess said cutely; "Except for making us clean everything."

"I mean I like it, but why did she change?" Kieara asked; "What, it was your boyfriend's mom?"

"Yeah, I guess." Jamie said.

"So what is he like, if his family is like that?" Princess asked.

"….Well….he's kinda stupid." Jamie said, shrugging. "I mean he can be smart at times." Princess and Kieara looked at each other in confusion. "He's kinda pudgy as well, doesn't have muscles…" Jamie laughed, while the odd feeling Sisters stared at him. "Is geeky at times, and just stupid, cute but stupid."

"So why exactly did you date him?" Kieara asked.

"Because if it weren't for him and his love, life wouldn't be different for us." Jamie said, serious. The sisters looked at each other, not sure how to receive this. Jamie then kissed both of them on the forehead.

"Everything that's happened today is because of my Gumball, he could have rejected me, but he accepted someone who terrorized him. We owe Gumball a lot." Jamie said before standing straight and walking to the kitchen. The pot was nice and silver, looked new. Did Denise get some new cash as well? Jamie licked her lips as she opened up the pot, her smile then faded to a 'meh' grin.

"I forgot, we're not rich." Jamie said to her sisters, who followed her in.

"Mama is makin' Grits, why would you think we're rich?" Princess asked, cutely.

"Well everything was so clean, I never realized how our house is actually pretty big, I thought it was a mansion." Jamie said, closing the pot. "Maybe I should get a job or something." Kieara giggled, slapping her knee. "You can't get a job till High School!"

"I guess, but realistically we need more cash. And someone to keep Mom in check." Jamie said, reaching around in the near empty cabinet. Kieara and Princess exchanged glances. "Wait, what does that mean? How much money do we need?" Princess asked.

"I know you're a bit too young to understand, but we're low class." Jamie said.

"It's true." Kieara supported.

"I KNEW that, I meant HOW are we supposed to get more money?" Princess asked.

"I dunno. Don't think too much on it lil' sis, I was just thinking out loud." Jamie said, grabbing three bowls. "Wait, you said 'keep Mom in check.'" Kieara brought up; "What does that mean?"

"Like what Gumball's Mom did, keep her 'in check' and make sure she doesn't go crazy. Obviously we can't do it, at least not yet." Jamie said, opening the skillet, revealing eggs and bacon. "And not having breakfast at all times of the day."

"So, you want more money and a teacher for mommy?" Princess asked.

"Yeah, basically that's what she's saying, I agree, although I'm confused on the second." Kieara said, opening a compartment and pulling out a large serving spoon.

"Keep Mommy in check, means she wants a teacher." Princess said, trying to explain.

"Nah, sounds more like a Police officer." Kieara said, dipping the spoon into the pot.

"Actually, I was referring to a partner." Jamie said, opening the fridge and grabbing the butter. The girls looked at her as Jamie cut off a piece and mixed it into the pot.

"A friend?" Princess asked.

"A Boyfriend?" Kieara said.

"No, a MAN, or a HUSBAND." Jamie said, grabbing their bowls and pouring Grits into the bowl.

"So you want a Man here, to keep her 'in check'?" Kieara asked, giggling a bit. "And you say this on 'International Women's Day'." Jamie scowled, glaring at her. "Shut up, I'm not saying she should get a man that can beat her and screw her." Kieara giggled at that while Princess grinned, not really sure what she was talking about.

"I'm saying she should find a man, like Gumball, that although he does make mistakes, will try his hardest to help her and support her whenever he can." Jamie said, only capable of thinking of Gumball. Jamie then turned with a smirk to Kieara, "Besides, I think we know that if Mom had a hand laid on her, she'd beat and rape them." Kieara smirked and rolled her eyes at that statement.

"When is my dinner ready?" Princess asked.

"Hold your horns, I'm putting it on the plate right now." Jamie said.

-7:50pm, Outside the Watterson House—

"We'll be back home soon, Dick!" Nicole called from the car.

"Don't call me that in front of the kids!" Richard whined.

"C'mon Gumball, we're going to be late." Nicole said, opening the door to the car. Gumball's face shinned in the white street light, the dark skies made his environment feel a bit empty. He got into the car with Anais and Darwin and closed the door.

"I'm not sure why you guys are coming." Gumball said, scratching his head.

"According to the message, both Anais and Darwin will be involved in the meeting." Nicole said, starting up the car. Gumball looked over at his two siblings.

"What did you guys do?" Gumball asked.

"Nothing, I think it's supposed to be a status report or something." Anais said.

"Real question is, what did YOU do, Gumball?" Nicole asked, staring at him in the mirror.

"Mom, why are you getting mad at me?" Gumball said defensively, a little mad. Nicole glared at him through the rear view, Gumball caught sight of her eyes.

"Don't you raise your voice at me, Tristopher!" Nicole said, angrily.

Both Anais and Darwin uncomfortably watched Gumball get mad at their mother. The little cat then realized he couldn't win, his mad glare turned to a guilty frown as he leaned back in his seat. He sighed and looked out the windows. Watching the lights flash by. Actually the last time he saw this was the night of the 'slap.' He remembered sitting on this side of a car, his eyes heavy with tears and on his way to Granny Jojo's. He smiled at the memory, it seemed like it was years ago. He remembered his mind set at that time, just discovering the Raid club and not yet kissed Jamie and so on.

"Gumball, are you alright?" Nicole asked, hoping she wasn't too harsh.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Gumball said.

"You got something on your mind?" Nicole asked.

"No, no, I'm just a bit tired." Gumball lied.

The car drove down the highway and into the parking lot of the schoolyard. The cat groaned at the sight of the school at night. Gumball could sense that Principal Brown was cooking up a storm.

"Here we go." Gumball said, as Nicole parked the car.

"Don't worry Gumball, I don't think it will be bad." Anais said.

"You don't know Principal Brown, like I know him." Gumball said, opening the door and getting out. Darwin then followed him out, mashing the buttons on the Gameboy. Gumball looked at him before shoving his face next to his.

"Whatcha playing?" Gumball asked.

"Adrenaline the Raccoon: Future Warfare 300." Darwin said.

Nicole walked over and picked the machine out of Darwin's hands. The fish tried to grab it but Nicole put it in her purse. "HEY!" Darwin whined.

"Sorry kiddo, but I don't need you playing this while we're in the PTA." Nicole said, walking towards the open doors. The Wattersons' walked in the schools. The kids shuttered at the sight of the hallways during the night. They were normal, but nobody was in them and not being at home was killing them.

"Ah, here it is." Nicole said, knocking on the office doors of Principal Brown.

"Come in!" Principal Brown announced.

The Wattersons then opened the door and walked into the huge office. They looked to their left and saw yet another family.

"W-Wha…JAMIE!" Gumball shouted.

"Ye-…GUMBALL?" Jamie shouted.

"NICOLE?" Denise shouted.

"DENNIE?" Nicole shouted.

"DARWIN?" Anais shouted.

"ANAIS?" Darwin shouted.

Everyone then oddly looked at Darwin and Anais before the two kids busted out laughing. The fish high fived the pink rabbit. "That's so Immature!" Anais laughed. Nicole nodded her head at the two. Principal Brown sat the desk, with Steve Small, and a walking red clock, with eyes and a huge mustache, and a monocle. All of them were un amused.

The two sisters of Jamie looked over at the blue cat who stared their sister down in confusion. They both grinned at each other.

"He's not ugly but….he's kinda weird." Kieara said.

"Has a funny family too, a bunny and a fish? How does that work?" Princess asked.

"Must've been busy there, woman. Fish and Bunnies." Kieara joked and laughed, Princess didn't really understand and Jamie turned around and glared at her sister. She then tapped Kieara somewhat harshly on the head. "Sorry." She said.

"Have a seat, Wattersons." Principal Brown said, giving a fake smile.

"Right, Principal Brown." Nicole said as she lightly pushed her kids to their seats. As everyone had settled down, with Jamie and Gumball sitting in front, and right next to each other, Brown finally began to start the PTA.

'This is it. They've been hyping this up for days.' Gumball thought.

'Alright, this time I won't back down.' Jamie thought.

'Save the best, for first.' Principal Brown smirked.

"Hello, welcome to this PTA. This is a very special gathering, in which we're evaluating your time at Elmore Middle School." Principal Brown smiled. Gumball and Jamie exchanged 'whatever' glances. Nicole however, raised her hand like a school girl.

"Uh, yes Mrs. Watterson?" He asked.

"Question one, who's that?" Nicole asked, pointing towards the fat clock. Principal Brown was about to answer but the mustache'd clock arose and faced the families.

"How rude of me, I'm Mr. Figg, Superintendent of the Elmore Unified School Districts board." He said, fixing his monocle. Nicole nodded before looking back over at Principal Brown. The furry slug smiled before going back to his chair. "Right, he said it best."

"Second question, you said 'evaluation.' What are we evaluating exactly?" Nicole asked.

"The behavior and productivity of your students." Principal Brown said, bluntly. Immediately Nicole glared at the trio of her children. Gumball didn't know it but Anais and Darwin looked back, scared themselves.

"First order of business in the Watterson family, Darwin Watterson." Principal Brown said, he turned to the old clock, since this was more directed at him. Mr. Small cringed and rested his head on his hand. The fish looked around, hoping it wouldn't be as bad as it sounded.

"A talented student, has been in many clubs and has done after school tutoring." Principal Brown complimented. Darwin sighed, thinking this would be more complimentary.

"Unfortunately, he has often wrecked things on accident in the school, angered many students like Tina Rex which has often created a terrible learning environment, has a less than mediocre grade point average and has been suspected of vandalism." Principal Brown announced. Darwin's jaw dropped.

"Are you serious, Darwin?" Nicole asked, mad but refused to show it.

"B-But, I'm trying!" Darwin complained, near begging.

"Doesn't sound like it's working." Nicole said, coldly.

"W-What!" Darwin whined, clasping his fins together. "He's over exaggerating, I'm not that bad!"

"Right…." Nicole said, almost rolling her eyes. She had been a kid before, so this fear was forcing him to lie. She had done it. Nothing new. Gumball then turned around in his chair, locking eyes with his mother.

"Mom, why don't you listen to Darwin." Gumball said, irritated by Darwin's cries. Nicole then looked back at Gumball, shocked he dared say anything. Denise observed the kid's rebellious attitude, and the way Nicole reacted to it. Nicole shot her finger at him.

"Don't start with me Gumball, you don't get to say ANYTHING!" Nicole said, screaming at the end. Jamie tried to ignore it, but it was rather odd hearing her boyfriend being scolded by his mother. Gumball wouldn't rebel, he couldn't, it was his irritating mother.

"Anyways, let's move on to Gumball." Principal Brown said, aware Gumball would strike conversation.

"Gumball Watterson is a mediocre student at best. However, Gumball Watterson had committed multiple acts of vandalism." Principal Brown said. Gumball and Jamie exchanged glances, aware Brown had it against them.

"Including wrecking multiple classrooms, destroying over $10,000 dollars' worth of technology, poisoning and the igniting the swimming pool…"

"Is that even possible?" The old clock asked.

"Yes, with enough oil or gas." Principal Brown said, then he continued, "He has inconvenienced the learning environments with constant interruption, inappropriate speak outs during school meetings, and convincing other children to engage in rebellious and sentimental behavior." The clock then looked at the little blue cat, who merely had a tired look on his face.

'I didn't even do half those things, but it doesn't matter because I'm screwed.' Gumball thought. Jamie who was sitting next to him softly grabbed his hand. She then looked at him, their eyes locking. Gumball sighed, knowing she was basically asking him to stay in. Nicole however was madder than hell at this point, unaware of such behavior.

'Is this MY fault? Was it all because of the ONE SLAP?' Nicole thought.

"Do you have anything to say for yourself, young man?" The old clock asked.

"I don't agree with Mr. Brown's highly over exaggerated report, he's doing this for some reason and I'm curious to see the outcome." Gumball said, unenergetically. "There's no point in explaining myself, I know that he'll just make something up or change something a-….it's not worth it."

'…..Rather short, I didn't expect for him to give up so fast.' Principal Brown thought, before shrugging and smirking.

"You have little to say in your defense here, which leads me to believe that what the Principal said was true." The superintendent stated. Gumball rolled his eyes, with little to say.

"So what? I don't have any evidence, I don't remember any of this. It's like asking me to clarify on robbery I didn't do, because you think that I did it regardless."

"Gumball, you BETTER explain yourself!" Nicole shouted, from behind Gumball. Darwin and Anais both looked tired as well, knowing Principal Brown was slandering them.

"So, you're saying you had no idea what he's talking about?" The clock asked.

"Not really, I know some….students…were involved in something's in which I happened to be ne-"

"Nonsense, he's directly responsible." Principal Brown said, not having it.

"You could let me to explain." Gumball said.

"You flat out dodged your question, thus you're lying." Principal Brown explained.

"And that's why NOBODY likes you Principal Brown!" Gumball shouted. Nicole immediately tapped him harshly on the shoulders. "You better learn some respect Gumball, I'm not putting up with this!" Nicole hissed. Gumball angrily turned around to his mother. "LISTEN TO ME, FOR ONCE!"

"I DO! ALL THE TIME!" Nicole screamed .

"I suggest you talk about your family feuds, at a different time." Mr. Figg said. He then turned to Principal Brown. "Thank you Brown, that's all I needed to hear. Please move on to next individual."

"Right, next is Anais Watterson." Principal Brown said. Anais gulped, she thought she was a good student. "She's a pretty good student, only problem is that she needs to go to an Elementary School. I understand she's in a program, but we're making cuts and we think Anais should go." Principal Brown said. Anais made a 'what the hell' expression.

"Sorry Anais, but you SHOULD, go to an Elementary School. Despite your intelligence." Principal Brown reinforced.

"May I ask you, why she needs to exactly?" Nicole asked.

"She doesn't belong at a Middle School, plain and simple. We don't need to use extra money on people who don't belong in that system." Principal Brown said, falsely. Anais's jaw dropped while Nicole scratched her head.

"I guess…." Nicole said, not really sure how else to argue.

"Mr. Figg sir." Gumball said, requesting the clock's attention. The clock looked up at him, surprised. "Yes Mr. Gumball, what is it?" Principal Brown however knew he was up to no good. "Sorry Watterson, we'll have comments after." Gumball snarled at that. "I'm going to forget." Principal Brown threw arms in the air. "Try and remember, but you cannot talk, we're on a tight schedule."

"Why can't he talk?" The old clock asked.

"Well sir, not to be rude b-"

"If the child has something to say he should be allowed to say it." The old clock explained, to a disappointed Principal Brown. "Continue, young man."

"Sir, no other kindergarten students are being removed aside from Anais. So does one student really change the amount of money paid for the school?" Gumball asked.

"How do you know that?" Nicole asked; "You're not a teacher here."

"Mom, its common sense." Gumball muttered. Nicole blinked at that statement.

"Y'know….i don't know the figures on that but it sounds logical….your point I mean." Mr. Figg thought.

"Actually sir, I planned to show you the figures after the PTA." Principal Brown lied.

"Oh, well I guess that's that. Thank you for your attempt young man." Mr. Figg said, as nice as he could.

"Sir, he's lying!" Jamie cut in. "He's just trying to get rid of Gumball's little sister."

"JAMIE!" Denise shouted, causing Jamie to freeze. Everyone in the room looked at the green mother. "It's not your turn to talk, just wait." Denise said, calmly. Nicole nodded at her, knowing they had talked about parenting earlier. Jamie merely pouted while Gumball gripped her hand even harder.

"Well if there is little objection from the mother…" Principal Brown announced, looking over at Nicole.

"I….don't really know what to say." Nicole said, rubbing her scalp. The principal smiled as he turned to the family of Jamie. He pulled out some documents and statistics, more factual statistics but he still planned to play it for Mr. Figg.

"Jamie is a student that, well has little good attributes about her." Principal Brown said, not even trying to sugar coat this one. "Unfortunately so." He added. Gumball merely groaned while Jamie closed her eyes, hoping what she always feared wouldn't happen.

"She has been sent to detention 124 times, in one year." Principal Brown said; "Which by the way averages to about three detentions a week as of present." He coughed. "24 suspensions, most of them a result of bullying and fighting."

"Wait hold up Principal Brown!" Gumball butted in.

"Gumball don't." Jamie muttered, gaining then attention of everyone in the room. "He's not lying, everything he stated is probably true anyways." Jamie sighed, knowing Gumball must've had the most baffled expression in the world. But she had to deal with it, enough lying to herself, she was a bad child. But she wouldn't let herself be kicked around.

"Anyways, she's beaten countless kids, and convinced many to join up in her….legion of doom." Principal Brown hinted. Jamie and Gumball exchanged glances, hoping they didn't hear what they thought they just heard.

'He knew this entire time?' Jamie freaked.

"Anyways, she has vandalized countless things and has ruined entire fieldtrips." Principal Brown said, putting the papers down. Jamie sighed, knowing what was coming next.

"The sister of hers, her name is Kieara." Brown stated. "6th grade, and honestly has done just about the same." Principal Brown said, almost casually. Jamie's head shot up and she exchanged glances with her sister. Denise looked over at her children, she knew what Brown had just said wasn't true. Kieara was bad, but she wasn't THAT bad.

"Principal Brown." Denise said, getting his attention. Nicole had looked over at Denise, noticing her new look. Her eyes went wide as she realized she actually looked….good.

'She did take my advice.' Nicole thought.

"Brown, I feel like the statement you just said was…..honestly a lie." Denise said. Nicole's pupils shrunk as everyone, including Mr. Figg looked over at her in shock. This wasn't something you typically heard from a Parent at a PTA.

"Uh…what?" Principal Brown asked. Mr. Small smiled.

"What you said, wasn't true." Denise said, yet again.

"Uh…wh-, wait whu..wha?"

"Cat got your tongue?" Kieara asked, angrily.

"Don't ruin my sister Principal Brown, those statistics only referred to me. I think." Jamie admitted.

Principal Brown got a hold of himself before directly facing Mr. Figg.

"The mother is on record for being a….not acceptable parent." Principal Brown tried to explain, only enraging the three sisters. The Wattersons looked over at them, uncomfortably. Denise sighed, controlling herself. Princess then pointed at Principal Brown.

"You can't talk about my mommy like that!" She whined.

'Yeah, only WE can smack talk our mother like that. Who the fuck do you think you are!' Kieara thought.

"I didn't give an opinion, young lady, I gave a fact." Principal Brown said, only pissing off the family even more. "Brown you can't talk about me like that in front of my children!" Denise shouted at him. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I don't know, what's wrong with your 'language'." Principal Brown said, almost humorously. He was amused by the idea of one of the families he so despised going after him. The mother growled at him, almost instinctively pointing her horns at Principal Brown.

Gumball then turned to Darwin and Anais before popping his eyes brows. "Now THAT'S a mother." Nicole grinned at that statement, not really sure if she should be offended or not. Gumball looked up at his own mother before nodding his head in Denise's direction.

"Could learn a thing or two." Gumball joked.

"Keep talking, and I'll send you to Saturday school." Nicole fired back.

"That's impossible, because thanks to you for not defending us or at least trusting us we won't be going to this school." Gumball said, serious. Nicole glared at him before rolling her eyes in defeat, she was tired of it. She couldn't fake being a slaving mother, nor could she fake being an overly strict mother, she just needed to be a Nicole Watterson type mother.

"Principal Brown, what do you plan to do with this information?" Denise asked.

"To be quite frank.." Brown said, turning to Mr. Figg; "Rockridge Jr. High."

"NOPE!" Denise screamed, jumping straight up.

"No…we're not going back to a Rockridge school." Kieara whispered.

"I knew it!" Jamie laughed, pointing at Brown. "You ALWAYS wanted me out."

"With your record, who wouldn't?" Principal Brown said, trying to keep his composure from laughing his ass off. There was nothing funnier to him than a family uselessly trying to fight back. Mr. Figg wasn't really sure where to start with this. Gumball smiled a bit as he watching his girlfriend and her family get aggressive with Principal Brown.

"Does that mean the little one who isnt enrolled in Jr. High as well?" Mr. FIgg asked.

"For controlled purposes, yes." Principal Brown said.

"For 'Controlled Purposes'? What does that mean?" Jamie asked.

"It's not your concern." Principal Brown said.

"Y'know, I don't know why Nicole didn't at least ask for more clarifications when you put her kids on blast." Denise said. Nicole looked up at her, feeling a bit guilty and embarrassed. "But I need actual PROOF, which you don't have, to send my children away!"

"Actually madam, I can understand your concern." Mr. Figg butted in, with a smiling Principal Brown. "I have two daughters at home as well." He said, trying to connect with the mother like a real teacher would.

"But he does have evidence." Mr. Figg said as he held the papers in his hand. He then scanned through them, seeing all the charts and what not. "Which means what he said, is unfortunately true."

"What does that mean for my family?" Denise asked.

"It means madam, as sad as It is for me to say, your children will be relocated." Mr. Figg said.

Jamie and her family looked at them in silence, not really knowing how to react.

"And what about my family?" Nicole butted in.

"You're not going to Rockridge, but you can't stay here." Mr. Figg said.

The Wattersons all exchanged glances, knowing they'd be going to the crappier out of town region schools.

"I'm so sorry, but I'm merely reporting what the district will say. It's clear cut that these are the decisions that need to be made. The facts speak for themselves."

Gumball and Jamie's family all sighed, not really knowing how to react to this. They were as good as gone. Mr. Figg said it himself, the paperwork will just read 'qualification for relocation', which the district will stamp indefinably. Both families were now viewed as a danger to the city.

"We tried didn't we?" Gumball whispered to Jamie, unenergetically.

"That doesn't matter." Jamie said, on the verge of tears. "I won't see you again."

The dead silence of the room gave away their whispering, and both mothers felt especially terrible when they heard it.

'YES, I WON!' Principal Brown thought, getting up and pushing his chair in.

"The PTA is officially over." Principal Brown said, smiling over at Mr. Small. The cloud man merely glared at him, not returning the favor. He then pointed to the mourning families. Three daughters that will be ruined, and three Wattersons that will be kicked out to a school for second rate students. Principal Brown shrugged his shoulders, smirking at the cloud.

'What's your problem?' He thought.

"Well if there is no question-"

"Are you going to do something about this?" Mr. Small asked.

"Uh….about what?" Principal Brown asked, confused.

"You won't? Then fine, I WILL!" Mr. Small said, opening his own suitcase. Loudly, which gained the attention Mr. Figg. The families all still had their heads down.

"I will now report to YOU, Superintendent Figg, why these families will be staying here!" Mr. Small shouted, gaining the attention of the families.

"What are you talking about Steve?" Principal Brown asked, sweating a bit.

"You FAKED those statistics for Gumball and Darwin Watterson." Mr. Small shouted, causing Principal Brown to jump. Mr. Figg looked at the cloud man weirdly before turning to Brown.

"Is this true?" Mr. Figg asked.

"No! It's nonsense!" Principal Brown argued.

"Well let's see if it IS nonsense." Nicole said, looking at Mr. Figg. "Cause it sure sounded like nonsense. "

"It's not, its absolute fact. And the PTA was declared over, so pack up your things!" Principal Brown said, trying to grab the papers from Mr. Figg. The clock however pulled the papers back, out of his reach.

"Hold on here, if evidence is being presented against yours it overrides the PTA declarations. ESPECIALLY if it's a matter of fraud or inaccuracy." Mr. Figg said. The Principal groaned and sat down, hoping he didn't have any real evidence for anything.

"Mr. Figg, these papers right here show the official reports for those accidents." Mr. Small said, reaching out and handing it to Figg. Principal Brown glared at him the entire time, even showing his mad frown.

"The papers you see are officially stamped, and nowhere in the papers does it give names, or even suspects!" Mr. Small said; "All it says is that these things, including my office, were damaged, and you'll also notice that half the things that were accounted for on the Principal's list weren't even in the REAL damage report."

"What are you saying?" Principal Brown demanded.

"I'm saying that you LIED!" Mr. Small shouted back.

Both Jamie and Gumball looked over at Principal Brown, who let out a slight grin. The families then looked over at Mr. Figg, not sure what to believe until he makes judgment. Mr. Figg looked over the papers before nodding and handed them back to Small.

"What you said is true, Principal Brown's are copies, possibly edited, whereas yours are official and stamped."

"AH HA!" Darwin shouted, pointing at the sweaty Principal Brown. Everyone looked at Darwin oddly, especially the rest of the Wattersons who looked at him with their goofy grins. Gumball and Anais couldn't help but cracking up laughing while Nicole covered her mouth. Jamie and her family smiled at them, almost envious in a happy way.

'That's great, Gumball will be okay!' Jamie thought.

'Thank yah! At least ONE family didn't get tricked!' Denise thought.

'That fish kid is kinda cute.' Kieara thought; 'I still don't understand how a rabbit and cat make a fish.'

'I wish it was us, but its good that they're happy.' Princess thought, smiling.

"NO! That CANT be!" Principal Brown cried, grabbing Mr. Small's papers from his hand. The cloud put his hands on his hips. "Why not? You of all people should know the records."

"See Mom, I told you I didn't do those things." Gumball said.

"Hold it there Gumball, you did in fact cooperate with some things, but we're willing to let it slide." Mr. Small said.

"I'm sorry I doubted you honey, I didn't know who to trust." Nicole said.

"It's alright Mom." Gumball said, not wanting to ruin this moment.

"Yeah, we're cool." Darwin said.

"And that's all that matters!" Anais rejoiced.

"Well Principal Brown, what happened here?" Mr. Figg asked, folding his arms. "Thanks to this, you could've nearly placed three children in the wrong schools." Principal Brown fiddled with his fingers for a second before coming up with an excuse.

"Miscommunication!" He said.

"Bullsh-…crap." Nicole said, catching herself at the last minute.

"Uh Mrs. Mom?" Darwin said, hoping she wasn't about to say what he thought she would say.

"Sorry honey." Nicole said, patting the fish on the head.

"Actually, I'm going to have to accept that." Mr. Figg said, writing 'Miscommunication' on his clipboard. The Wattersons looked at him in confusion, was he really buying this excuse. However, Jamie then realized that if she was leaving, she might as well throw her two cents anywhere.

"Excuse me, but did you see how eager he was to get rid of them?" Jamie asked.

"Unfortunately I noticed." Fig said, glancing over at the groaning Principal Brown. He could only look at the ceiling, too embarrassed really to say much. "But that doesn't change the fact that he can file this under 'miscommunication'." Mr. Fig explained. "Besides, I think he was just a bit energetic. Teachers aren't dedicated to expelling students."

"You obviously don't know Principal Brown." Jamie groaned.

"Speaking of which, I think you should check up on their family as well." Anais said, pointing towards Jamie's family. "Yeah, I wonder if there was a 'miscommunication' on there's as well." Gumball said.

Principal Brown covered his eyes, he felt so humiliated, and he couldn't tell the kids to shut up because they basically have him by the ropes.

"Glad you asked." Mr. Small said.

"Would you mind reading off the facts please?" Mr. Figg asked.

"Of course, contrary to the numbers given by Principal Brown, Jamie has been to detention only 28 times this year." Mr. Small announced. Mr. Figg angrily glared at at Principal Brown who pretended not to see him. Jamie lit up when she heard that, personally, she had lost count ages ago.

"And she has had some good credit as well. Community service, often helping in PE class, painted a mural once, helped certain students emotionally and so on." Mr. Small announced. The three sisters looked at each other, happy that some truth was told.

"But….but, what about all the bad things?" Principal Brown asked.

"You didn't mention the good, and you exaggerated the bad to such an extreme." Mr. Figg said, cleaning up the papers. Principal Brown then got up and grabbed the clock by his shoulders.

"Then what does that mean?" Brown asked.

"It means that you've gained your second strike, and they're staying at Elmore Jr. High." Figg said, brushing his hands off. Jamie's family smiled at each other.

'WHAT? MR. SMALL IS DEAD!' Principal Brown thought, glaring at the smug-like Steve Small.

"Don't even think about firing him, or you're fired as well." Mr. Figg threatened as he gathered his belongings and walked out from behind the desk. He then shook Mrs. Watterson's hand, which she was too stunned to really shake back.

"Nice try Principal Brown." Gumball whispered.

"Yeah, you dick!" Jamie whispered loudly.

"SHUT UP!" Principal Brown shouted, smacking the papers off his desk. The superintendent then turned around and pointed at Principal Brown. "And your abusive powers will be limited if this happens again." He threatened.

"It was a 'miscommunication'!" Principal Brown shot back.

"I'm only saying that because they don't want you fired, but I know full well and this isnt the first time you've done this. You did it some years ago with that one kid. You're faking these things, you cannot do that! If the kids don't like you , maybe its because you're not a good principal." Superintendent Figg said, before walking over to Mr. Small.

"What you did here, was very appreciated." He commended.

"Only doing my job sir." Mr. Small said.

"I'm glad you're treating your job on a personal level, rather than a…..financial one." He said, looking over at the wrecked Principal Brown.

"Right sir." Mr. Small said.

The clock then shook everyone's hand before walking out the room, leaving everyone in dead silence.

"You went too far Mr. Brown." Mr. Small said.

"I'm not going to forgive the fact that you tried to ship away my girls." Denise said before grabbing Kieara and Princess and walking out the room. Nicole then grabbed Anais and Darwin before shaking her head in disbelief and pulling her kids out. Excluding Gumball.

"You need to really rethink your job." Nicole said, before exiting the room.

"You're a total jerk, this is why our club doesn't like you!" Jamie shouted, forgetting Mr. Small was there.

"You're exactly what we were talking about." Gumball said; "Teachers like you."

Gumball and Jamie then started to insult him a bit before Mr. Small came up and told them to stop. Principal Brown merely laid his head on his desk, his entire plan ruined by that school consoler. All this work but it was ruined, all of it, no point because the families are still here. Here to stay.

Gumball and Jamie then walked out the class, only to be greeted by the chattering families. All of them seemed so happy, which was something new.

"You look so different from when I saw you, you look like that high school girl!" Nicole laughed.

"I feel like it too, still broke however. Just like High school." Denise laughed.

"Join the club!" Nicole said, loudly.

"So, your name is Darwin?" Kieara asked.

"Yep, Darwin Watterson!" The fish saluted.

"Don't mind me askin', but why are you a fish?" Kieara asked.

"W-Wha?"

"I mean, cats plus rabbits don't equal fishes." Kieara said; "But that's not important. You available?" The fish was about to answer her first question before being stunned by her second. Darwin observed her figure. Basically it was Jamie with a smaller hair style, a slightly different hairstyle, white t and black shorts, also some spiked gloves.

"Uh….i'll have to consult with my…friend." Darwin said, thinking of Rachel.

"So, how are you so smart?" Princess asked.

"Because…I studied?" Anais said, sort of questioned.

"Eh, doesn't really add up." Princess said, sucking her finger.

"Well what do you like to do?" Anais asked.

"Play with dolls, and you?" Princess asked.

"…..Debates about society?" Anais offered.

Gumball and Jamie then walked to their respective groups. For once in the world there was nothing to worry about. Principal Brown had lost and they had won their freedom. For now at least. Gumball and Jamie were so relieved to have each other.

"Okay Gumball, I'm sorry, you were right." Nicole said.

"Thanks Mom, although I'm not a perfect angel." Gumball said, thinking of all the nonsense he started and finished. Darwin and Anais then walked from their group to Jamie who was on her way to her family. They stopped her.

"Yes?" Jamie asked.

"We just wanted to say sorry, we were really wrong about you." Anais said.

"Yeah, we were pretty stupid about the entire thing." Darwin said, scratching his head.

"It's alright, but thanks for mentioning it. I'm glad it was only this and nothing more." Jamie smiled.

"Well….actually." Darwin said, remembering the date he set Gumball up with. Jamie looked at Darwin, expecting something. "That date that Gumball went on with Penny." Darwin started. Jamie looked around in confusion.

"Yes….i know about it."

"Well….what happened is…."

Mr. Small had walked out the office, trying to hold all the papers in his hand. He was very proud of himself, since he had finally done something a rational school consoler should have done. He smiled at the groups, but nobody actually noticed him.

"Alright, well y'all have a good night now." Mr. Small said. The mothers waved, but continued to talk whereas the kids didn't even look at him. The cloud sighed and began his walk to his own office.

'The kids probably still hate me, but it's one step in the right direction.' Mr. Small thought, walking out to his office. After a while the families finally stopped chatting. The kids broke apart and the mothers finally stopped talking.

"Well, we need to get home." Nicole announced to her kids. She handed Darwin back his portable game system. Gumball then turned to Jamie, unable to push down his smile.

"We'll talk tomorrow." Gumball told Jamie.

"Of course." Jamie said, a blush appearing on her face as she leaned in and kissed his cheek. Gumball blushed as everyone started to blush as well.

"Oh my little boy is becoming a man!" Nicole said.

"MOM!" Gumball yelled.

"It's alright kid, you're perfect for Jamie." Denise said.

"Oh…um, thanks." Gumball said, a little embarrassed.

The Wattersons then gave their goodbye and began to walk out the hallways, to their car. Jamie's family sat there for a while as Denise then realized something. "Hey, we didn't thank that Small fellow."

"Yeah, we didn't. We had talked so much sh-" Jamie quickly glanced at her disapproving mother. "I mean stuff, we had talked so much stuff about him. He really is a good guy." Jamie said.

"Where is he?" Princess asked.

"His office I think." Kieara said.

-Mr. Small's FUCKING OFFICE -Editorial Note: just happy to be near done with this-

"Well, that's one." Mr. Small said, stamping down on a paper. The cloud looked at his watch.

"Its about time to go, I better check on Principal Brown first." Mr. Small said.

As he was getting up, he heard three knocks at the door.

"Come in!" He said.

"Hi!" Denise said, walking in with her three girls. Small looked over at them and broke a smile, a little embarrassed though. 'I know what's coming, but I can't get too much into it, I need to be 'humble.' He thought.

"Mr. Small I just wanted to say we're very thankful for your assistance." Denise said.

"Oh! Uh, it was nothing, it's just my job." Mr. Small said, avoiding eye contact.

"Your job is to speak out against your boss?" Denise asked.

"Well….no. But I have to assist families." Mr. Small tried to explained.

"Yes but you seem different, like you did it from the heart." Denise said warmly, she had to admit Mr. Small was a little cute. The cloud man looked at her, she seemed almost unrecognizable. Her style seemed so different, her face pretty, and her posture was attractive.

"Did…you do something with your hair?" Mr. Small asked.

"No, I've just changed myself for the better of my kids." Denise laughed. "Like you."

"No, I haven't really changed that much." Mr. Small smiled as he grabbed and box and put it on the other side of the room. "Oh yes you have, you're different from the last time I saw you."

"Yes I agree." Jamie said, cutting into the conversation. "I really didn't like you but you actually defended us for once."

"Why didn't you like me?" Mr. Small asked.

"You know why, Gumball shouted it out to you that one day." Jamie said.

"….Ah yes, Gumball did I remember." Mr. Small said, not really wanting to think about it. Jamie made a little grin at his obvious way of not wanting attention.

"Well, if you're going to be like this for now on…..i want to apologize." Jamie said, walking up to the tall man. She threw he hand out, which Mr. Small hesitated to shake but he clasped and slowly shook her hand.

"This doesn't mean I won't send you to detention now." Mr. Small warned.

"I know." Jamie smiled.

"Well anyways!" Denise said, pulling Jamie away and clasped Mr. Small's hand. "We just wanted to say thank you." The mother blushed a bit before withdrawing her hand and turning around. Mr. Small looked at the woman carefully, she was rather beautiful when she wasn't being a drunk. Mr. Small gulped before saying this.

"Uh, Denise." Mr. Small said, requesting her attention.

She turned around with her kids, smiling.

"Yes, Mr. Small?"

"For school purposes, I would like to know if there is a husband or a boyfriend?" Mr. Small eased.

"Well, no. Not the case for a long time." Denise said.

The three kids exchanged glances, thinking that was already in the system anyways.

"Well, for personal purposes, would you like to have some coffee sometime?" Mr. Small said, a little bluntly. "To familiarize myself with your family a little better for work practices."

"Oh, yes that would be nice." Denise said, grinning. "But does it always have to be for 'work practices'?"

Jamie and Kieara looked at their mother in disbelief, as they were obviously hitting it off. The two girls looked at each other for a second, before Jamie shrugged with a goofy grin.

"Oh of course!" Mr. Small said, scratching the back of his head. "So what time works for you?"

"7 'o Clock PM." Denise said. "Tomorrow."

"Perfect." Mr. Small smiled.

"Alright, I'll see you then."

The three kids waved and walked out the door before Denise turned around and gave a seductive look at the hippie. Mr. Small blushed and waved as she walked out the door, shaking her rump a bit.

"So what about it?" Jamie asked.

"Mom with Mr. Small?" Kieara asked.

"Hell yeah, Mom needs a man I told you." Jamie said.

"HEY!" Denise shouted. "I don't NEED a man, I just thought he's a bit cute."

"Riiiiight." They both said.

-11:30 pm-

At the dark of night, Jamie was in the kitchen, putting a pan into the oven.

"Jamie!" Denise screamed.

"What?" Jamie asked.

"What the hell are you doing, making cookies for at 11 somethin'?"

"I'll be done in a second!" Jamie whined.

-Elmore Jr. High, Lunch Period, 1:15—

"GUMBALL!" Jamie shouted, carrying a box of cookies with her. The cat turned around and greeted his girlfriend.

"Hey Jamie." He said, pecking her on the lips.

"Gumball, I made you these." Jamie said, handing him the box. Some kids glanced over at them was they walked by, unaware of the night before. Gumball opened the box to reveal a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

"You bought these for me?" Gumball asked.

"No, I made them." Jamie said.

Gumball selected a cookie and bit it, chewing it's still warm chocolate and cooked dough. He let out a little moan before finishing the cookie. Jamie handed him a carton of milk in which he gulped some down.

"That's beautiful." Gumball said, eating more cookies.

"I'm glad you liked them, but we're going to Mr. Small's office." Jamie said, grabbing his hand and yanking him along.

"Aw, why?" Gumball questioned, eating another cookie. "I was going to hang out with Darwin…and these cookies!" Jamie laughed a bit before she explained. "See, he called us to fix our ruined by Principal Brown records."

"I thought they were altered copies." Gumball said.

"No, those were the current, unconfirmed ones." Jamie said. "The ones we need to change."

The two kids walked to the door before knocking on it. Mr. Small opened it to let the children in. He had two chairs set up for them as he went back to his computer, filling out the information on the computer.

"Well how y'all kids doin' today?" Mr. Small asked.

"Fine." Jamie said, watching Gumball eat his cookies.

"Me too." Gumball commented.

"Well, you know I'm just about done. I only had a couple questions for you kids." Mr. Small said, typing away on his computer. "Shoot." Jamie said. "Alright, School I.D. number, I guess Brown erased them when he assumed you were leaving."

"The freakin' jerk, anyways mines and 299007." Jamie said.

"And yours Gumball?" Mr. Small asked.

"229067, and hey Mr. Small…." Gumball said, trying to swallow the cookies.

"Yes Gumball?" He asked, preoccupied.

"I never really said thank you, I kinda feel bad after flooding your office and talking trash about you in front of everyone." Gumball said, Jamie looked at him like he was crazy. He just admitted he flooded the room.

"So you DID flood my room!" Mr. Small said, almost angry.

"Uhh…."

"It's alright, you probably didn't do it alone and its water under the bridge." Mr. Small smiled, currently deleting the file that showed Gumball as one of the suspects in the classroom flooding.

"So you're over it?" Jamie asked.

"Yeah, of course. I realized I wasn't much of a consoler because I forced my kids to follow me rather than coming up with solutions that fit your lifestyles." Mr. Small said, blushing a bit. "I'm still embarrassed about how I bragged on about my degrees."

"Some people deserve a fresh start!" Jamie explained.

"You can say that again." Mr. Small said as he cleared all charges against Jamie for this year.

"It's alright, you keep helping kids the way you helped us and I guarantee you, people will stop attacking your stuff." Gumball smiled.

"Good." Mr. Small said. "Well that's it, I just needed your I.D.'s for the system, that's all." Jamie and Gumball exchanged glances before getting up and walking over to Mr. Small's desk.

"What does our files say?" Gumball asked, looking over his left shoulder.

"Yeah, let me see." Jamie said, looking over his right.

"Oh, so now you're all up close and personal now?" Mr. Small asked, closing out the Teacher's site.

"No, don't flatter yourself." Gumball joked.

"Well I better be, if you're dating my mom." Jamie said, walking back to her seats. Mr. Small looked up at her, blushing madly. "I'm not having a 'date', it's more of a talk." Mr. Small explained. Jamie laughed at that statement. "Don't tell her that, Mr. Small."

"Alright, now leave you're bothering me!" Mr. Small laughed.

Jamie and Gumball said their goodbyes and walked out the room. Gumball couldn't help but wonder what Small and Jamie were talking about. "Your mother is dating Mr. Small?" Gumball asked. "Basically." Jamie replied.

"Hopefully he can help us about a bit." Jamie added.

"Hopefully." Gumball said again.

"Anyways, he can't possibly fuck it up. I just hope he knows how to kiss." Jamie said.

"Knows how to kiss? There is a proper way?" Gumball asked.

"Well, if you have your own style it better be a good one." Jamie said.

"Can you kiss like this?" Gumball asked as he smashed his lips against Jamie's. He slowly placed the box down as he pushed her against the wall and made out. The Raid group without Rocky had walked up the stairs looking for them, since the hallways were empty they merely followed the weird noises that echoed through-out the hallways.

"MMPH!" Jamie moaned as she felt Gumball's tongue slide into her mouth. For once he was kissing her the same way she kissed him. Gumball ran his hands through her hair as he sucked on her tongue. His other hand placing a finger on her stomach, before lowering to her crotch. Just where she liked it. Jamie didn't do anything, other than wrap on him and kiss back. Gumball's hand cupped her crotch as his other hand pushed her head in more.

"HEY! I found them!" Tobias said.

"As usual, they're doing what they're doing." Banana Joe said.

Gumball and Jamie broke apart, before scarcely looking over at them. Everyone in Raid, meaning Tobias, Banana Joe, Anton, Tina and no Hector.

"Here I Am!" Hector shouted from outside, his voice went through the windows.

Nevermind, Hector as well, had finally found Gumball and Jamie.

"Great timing." Gumball commented.

"So how did it go?" Tina asked.

"We're free, thanks to Mr. Small." Jamie smiled.

"Mr. Small?" Tobias question. "What did he do?"

"He flat out called Principal Brown out and made a fool of him." Gumball laughed.

"Great, so he's off of list then? Anton asked.

"Yep, better yet he might even be a part of us." Jamie added.

"Well glad to see my sister and her…..boyfriend?" Tina asked. Gumball and Jamie looked at each other before the girl kissed him on the nose.

"He's apologized, with that kiss." Jamie hinted.

"Okay, Boyfriend, are still here. So here's the firecrackers." Tina said. She dropped the box in front of them. Gumball and Jamie smiled as they opened the box.

"What did you plan to do with those?" Banana Joe asked.

"You'll see." Jamie smirked, kissing Gumball again.

-Principal Brown's office-

"A minor setback." Principal Brown said, drinking away at the coffee. Gumball and Jamie approached the door, they knocked.

"Come in." Principal Brown groaned. He was too lazy to even open the door for them. Gumball and Jamie smiled, walking into the smelly office. Principal Brown saw them and dropped his head on the desk. Jamie frowned at the smell, like Brown stayed the night in here.

"Ohhh, what do YOU want?" Principal Brown asked.

"Nothing, why so sad?" Gumball asked.

"Yeah, can't be because of last night." Jamie teased. "It was a miscommunication, right?"

"WHAT DO YOU WANT!" Principal Brown screamed, his face still smashed in the desk.

"We came from Mr. Small's place." Gumball explained.

"Oh THAT guy." He groaned.

"And we have some files we need you to put in the 'Record' cabinet." Jamie said, giving a little lick on Gumball's cheek. The cat giggled as he held up the box filled with firecrackers. Jamie then pulled out some matches.

"Well put it in yourself." Principal Brown groaned, refusing to lift his head and look at them.

"Okay." Gumball and Jamie said as they opened the cabinet titled 'Anti-Clubs' on the wall and lit a match. Principal Brown was too tired to even notice the noise. Gumball then lit the fuse and shoved the bottle into the cabinet and shoved it close.

"Nice talking with you Principal brown." Gumball laughed as he left.

"Whatever." Principal Brown muttered.

"You should say, 'ok', Principal Brown. Don't dismiss my boyfriend the way someone would dismiss a person like YOU!" Jamie said, a little mad but really just wanted to get that in.

"Say ONE more thing and I'll SUSPEND YOU!" Principal Brown said angrily.

Gumball and Jamie then closed the door to greet the Raid group. Gumball then turned to Jamie and kissed her on the cheek.

"Defending me like that? Crazy girl!" Gumball teased.

"It's planted?" Tina asked.

"Yep!" Jamie said.

"So when does it blow?" Banana Joe asked.

Gumball looked at his fingers.

"Probably in…..5…..4…..3….2…..1…."

*BOOM*

"GUMBALL! JAMIE!" Principal Brown screamed in anger.

"RUN!" Jamie laughed, running down the hallways.

"Oh shit we're out of here!" Tobias shouted, running with Banana Joe, Tina, and Anton.

Gumball caught up with Jamie.

"Man, I gotta love both my Old and New Family!" Gumball laughed, running with Jamie who couldn't help but laughed.

"We love you too Gumball!" Jamie screamed back.

THE END

Sorry this chapter took forever to upload. I had typed a 1/4th of this fanfic a week before Valentine's Day. But then my computer got a virus, I'm not really sure how, it was a virus that ruined my touchpad and ports. So I couldn't really upload my fanfic or at least finish it. So then school caught in and I couldn't finish it and it took forever. I ended up getting a new computer, so I ended up retyping the 1/4th and finishing the 3/4th a last week. Sorry about that. Also this was my longest at 67 pages. I hope you enjoyed it. Nothing really changed aside from a phone convo between Gumball and Jamie who got mad at each other about drugs. I didn't retype that, but anyways thanks for reading.

Plans to draw Jamie's family on Deviant Art. And maybe other people as well. Hadn't done it yet, but I'll update this when I do.

Writing, when I find the time a Lemon Fanfic for Jamie and Gumball, for those who wanted to see 'getting up and close' in the future.

Special Thanks to Damntohell29 for giving me some ideas here and there and keeping me in check.

I'm also glad to see people making accounts just to review, you really encouraged me to write this.

See yah next time!
