Gumball and Darwin were at the game store searching for something.
"Found it yet?" asked Darwin. "No," said Gumball. "You have to, because we've have waited for it for a long time," said Darwin eagerly.
"Hold on a sec," said Gumball. Then he found the game and announced, "I've found it!"
"Yay!" said Darwin as the two went to buy it. After the purchase, the two went out of the video store and headed home. "Man, it's very late and mom must be so worried about us," said Darwin, "She might put us in big trouble. "Pffft, what's the worst she could do to us," said Gumball. "Remember the DVD?" asked Darwin. "Oh yeaaah," said Gumball as he thought back to that incident. "But it won't be as bad as that even if we get caught."
"What do you mean, if we get caught?" asked Darwin curiously. "We are going to sneak in," said Gumball. "Through the back door."
Darwin followed his friend, having a feeling that the plan would fail and they might get caught but still, there wasn't any other choice.
The two ran as fast as they could to their home, passing many houses until finally, Gumball said, "Time for sneaking,"
Then the duo hid under the Robinsons's fence then silently climbed over and got to the backyard.
Then they walked up to their back door and opened it. But when they opened, they found themselves staring right at their mother, Nicole Watterson.
"Gumball and Darwin Watterson! Where were you this time? We were worried sick and thought you got lost!" she said in an angry tone towards the two. "Um what time is it?" asked Gumball nervously. "It's ten thirty and partly past bedtime and you even had the nerve to miss dinner," she said towards them. "And as punishment for staying out for a long time, you are grounded for a month and if you went to get something, I will take it from you," she said.
The two had no choice but to hand over their newly bought game to their mother and sadly walked up the stairs to their bedroom.
As they were lying in bed, Darwin told Gumball, "I told you it would fail." "Blasted Mom!" ranted Gumball angrily. "What are you saying?" said Darwin. "I know it now," said Gumball. "If she weren't here, we would all be free and do whatever we wanted but we can't because she controls us all and thanks to her, we cannot play that game we wanted for months," said Gumball. "I kinda agree with that," said Darwin.
"Yes, and I want it all to happen someday," Gumball said. "But it will never happen sadly and we have to face our grounding," he said.
At the moment, the two saw a shooting star. "A shooting star! Quick! Make a wish!" said Darwin eagerly to Gumball.
Gumball closed his eyes and made a wish while Darwin closed his and made his. In his head, Gumball wished, "I wish that I was older than mom and she was younger than me so I can be in control."
Meanwhile, while the two brothers were lying in bed making wishes, Anais was silently tinkering with a machine that she was secretly working on.
Anais was a proud that she was close to finishing it, a device that can age a person older or younger and she wanted to use it to make her older so everyone could listen to what she said. She was also glad it was carefully disguised as a very cool-looking alarm clock but she usually hid it away in case.
Just as she was putting in the last piece, she heard her door open and quickly put away her tools but could do nothing about hiding her invention.
"Good night, sweetheart," said Nicole Watterson to her child. "Good night, mom," she said. Suddenly, Nicole noticed the strange clock lying besides her daughter's bed and walked towards it. "What's this?" she asked her daughter.
"Nothing," Anais said nervously. "Can I at least have a look at it," asked Nicole. "No, it's very secret," said Anais. But her mom ignored it and walked over to it and looked over it and just while looking, she accidentally pressed a button and her daughter said, "Noooooo," just as there was a flash.
After it cleared, Anais looked down and saw that where her mother once stood, was a pile of clothes. "Oh no," she said looking at it but then she saw something wiggle around inside and she lifted it up to see that it was a cute blue baby cat.
"Wait, what did it set her age too," thought Anais and she went over to her invention to see that it was set on infant. "No," she thought. "Mom, must have accidently set it herself," she thought. "But what to do with her," she continued to think but just as she turned, the baby crawled out of her room down the hallway and headed to Gumball and Darwin's room.
