Hello! And welcome, to the sequel! If you are new, this is a sequel to my first story, The Power.

Quick synopsis of this story so newbies can catch up.

Gumball has a weird red thing inside him. He doesn't like it so he doesn't mention it. When Darwin finds out that he hates his birthday,

He tries to get Gumball to tell him why. Eventually, They all find out and a special officer and the police chase him down. Soon Gumball stops the officer and everything is back to normal. Or is it?

Well, I tried to make that spoiler-free. If you want to see it for yourself, just look in the Tawog archive for, The Power.

Anyway a few notes!

1: I do NOT own Tawog, Cartoon Network and Ben Benquelet do.

2: This does NOT take place in the canon. The 'Power' is a thing I made up. I only reference episodes.

3: This is a sequel to The Power. If you do not understand what's going on, read the first story.

Notes aside, Onto the first chapter!

The last two days were 'interesting' for the Wattersons.

The family found out about the 'power' that Gumball has, and nearly escaped death from a construction beam, planned by the 'special officer'.

These two days, will never be forgotten for the family, Especially Gumball.


It was a peaceful day in the city known as Elmore.

The Watterson children were sound asleep in their beds, only to be woken up by the alarm clock.

The three groaned, knowing today was a school day.

Darwin and Anais got out of their beds, and began to get ready for school.

Darwin looked over at Gumball, who was still asleep in bed.

"Gumball come on! The bus is coming in twenty minutes!"

The fish put on his shoes, and looked back at his brother.

Gumball didn't respond, and turned to the other side.

Darwin thought, before remembering the past events.

"Oh.. you're still thinking about yesterday.."

Anais sighed.

"Gumball get up.. It's not like you can just skip school today."

"Yeah well it's not like I can just forget about this whole thing.."

Darwin patted him on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"It's ok, I'm sure Mrs. Mom will understand."


"Gumball I'm sorry, but you can't skip school."

He sighed, knowing she would say that.

"Mom, please? Just for one day?" He asked, now begging.

"No. It's against the law to skip school."

Nicole passed everyone their breakfast, which was consisted of eggs and toast.

"But I don't want people to stare at me and stuff!" He whined.

"Honey, nobody's going to stare at you."

Gumball narrowed his eyes at her, as she sighed.

"Gumball I know what happened. But you can't just hide in your room forever."

"Yeah well..." Gumball gave up and listened to what she said.

A horn was heard from outside, immediately signaling the children to leave.

Darwin and Anais ran out the door, with Gumball miserably trudging behind.

Darwin noticed this and slowed down for him.

Anais gave a look at Gumball, before going inside the bus.

Gumball took a deep breath, and went up the stairs, with Darwin at his side.

Like he predicted, most of the people on the bus stared at him, and whispered to the classmate next to them.

Awkwardly, he sat down next Darwin in the back.

The bus began moving again, driving the kids to school.


Students continued to stare, or just tried to ignore him.

In class, a lot of the teachers were being nicer to him, even Miss Simian.

The fourth class ended, and Gumball and Darwin went on their way to the next class.

"Dude I can't take this anymore.. Everyone's being super weird.."

"Yeah.. That is kind of weird.."

"It's like everyone's assuming that I was the one who killed that guy!"

"Probably because it was you."

The two entered the classroom, immediately getting attention again.

"Please have this day end..." Gumball said to himself miserably.


It was finally after school.

Gumball grabbed his backpack and joined Darwin and Anais on the school steps.

"So what happened with you guys?" Anais asked.

"Everyone was being weird." Gumball replied.

"So? Everyone in town's a weirdo."

"No, I mean staring at me and whispering to each other weird. And my teachers were being nice to me today, Even Miss Simian of all people was nice to me.." He said, a little weirded out.

"This was going on all day." Darwin added.

"Huh. Weird."

The car arrived, and the children got in.

"So kids, how was your day?" Nicole asked.

"Great!" Darwin exclaimed.

"It was good." Anais said, nodding her head.

"Weird.."

Nicole looked at Gumball in the rearview mirror, and sighed.

"What happened.."

"Everyone was staring at me.. And my teachers weren't mean or anything.. Even Miss Simian of all people was nice to me.."

Nicole turned her attention back to the wheel.

Anais looked at him, before facing the window in thought.

Once they arrived home, Gumball and Darwin went to the bedroom and got on the computer.

They went on Stream-It and looked for videos to watch.

"Anything interesting yet?" Darwin asked.

"Nope."

After an hour, the two got bored of searching.

Darwin got up and opened the door.

"Maybe there's something going on outside." He said.

"Do we have to? People are just going to stare at me again.." Gumball said, his face full of worry.

Darwin took him by the arm and lead him outside.

They walked around, looking for something to do.

Bored out of his skull, Gumball looked around at the surroundings, which were only houses and trees.

They entered the mall, receiving a few stares from some kids from school.

Gumball stopped for a second, and raised his eyebrow confused.

"Gumball?"

Darwin looked ahead to see what he was confused about.
