My hair is picking itself up in that lightning quick way. Like..Zap! It's frozen in position. Of course, there is reason for it.

I look up towards the bathroom mirror, my eyes watery and bubbly. My lips were chapped and stuck in the middle of a smile and frown. Is that normal?

My chest is covered in my throw up. I thought if I took my sweater off I would be cleaner. That wasn't the case.

I frowned at myself in the mirror. Just desperate for a change of tail.


I wasn't always so horrid looking. Thankfully I got that. On a lower note, it didn't make up for the other stuff.

A lot was going on at the moment.

I don't mean, ah, homework, afternoon tutors, crushing.

I mean what happens when I am actually there.


"Penelope" I said, walking around slowly after arriving. I missed a few days and was a bit behind.

The floors were as dirty as usual, full of sweat that never finished pouring. Broken chains that tried to not wrap around the ankles of people passing by.

The vivid color of red still hung. It still never changed.

I continued walking on until I finally came to my stop.

I picked up the pace as I leapt onto the train tracks. I waited there, until my cunning ears heard the train.

The train zipped into me, leaving beside it's dust the center of the world. I hobbled on the tracks trying to not get my boots caught in it.

I don't mean fancy Italian boots. I mean hard working boots.

I hopped into the portal door as I past other people who failed their mission.

The ones who's destiny I would have if I was not successful.

"Penelope"


She turns around with the speed of a whippet. Her eyes dart at me.

She glides carefully over, knowing I am a tough component.

"What?" I sneered, showing her my strength. I cross my arms as I swiftly walk farther into the room.

Usual. Happy, angelic theme. The ones with halos have the sweet life of Willy Wonka .

The problem was I still was not one of them..

You see, you either go to heaven or.. you know.

But with some that's not the way it works.

Some have trust souls, but great faults. I'm one of them, and I have to prove myself worthy to enter heaven. And the passageway through H***, I think they call it Tartarus in Greece, is pushing me forward.

And Penelope is my master, aka my girlfriend as a living person. I will admit, she's a good choice as my master. It makes it difficult because I can't help but concentrate on her beauty. I hope when I go to my heaven she gets to come with me. And we can have maids and eat cookies. Man, In getting way ahead myself contest, the winner is me!

"Gumball, are you ok?"

"Oh, of course" I answer as my brown wings flutter. I can't wait till I get pearl white wings. Sigh.

"Oh, ok" Penelope, who I call Penny says. She sits and begins to hover in the air, holding the compass. It can track direction of the humans I control.

I watch as she looks at it curiously, hovering in pure whiteness.

She is so Gore-

Oh, shoot! Shut Up, Gumball!

I can't wait until we get back to our living selves, where she's my girlfriend and I can kiss her and other stuff.

Sigh. Again.

But I know once I get in Heaven like her, we will never have to go between universe and universe. We can just be free.

I smile and begin to meditate with Penelope as my wings dust off some feathers that are replaced with white fluffy ones.
