Authors Note: Hey guys, sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. This semester is killing me and I haven't had time to write anything that isn't school related. I promise the epilogue for "Breaking the Fourth Wall" is coming. It just might not be for another month or so, when the semester is over. Until then here's a little drabble I wrote a while back.

Gumball and Darwin were at the Elmore Mall doing some shopping when they discovered something they hadn't seen before. "Check it out dude, they must have put in a gumball machine." Gumball said.

"Cool, you want to try it?" Darwin asked. Gumball shrugged in response. They might as well, he liked gum well enough, though probably not as much as he should, given his name. He had no idea how he got saddled with his nickname since he was so young when people started calling him that. He thought that it was his actual name for years until his parents set him straight, then later it became his actual name anyways. Gumball dug in his pocket for quarters then handed one to Darwin, who didn't have any pockets. They put their quarters into the machine and each got a gumball. "Aw man, I got a blue one, I hate those." Darwin said. Gumball immediately started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Darwin asked.

"You hate the blue gumballs?" Gumball repeated.

"Yeah, what are you…..oh" Darwin said, finally getting it. "That's kind of ironic, isn't it?"

"No, you think?" Gumball said sarcastically. "I feel so betrayed, I thought you actually liked me all these years." Gumball said with a smile so Darwin would know that he was kidding. Darwin started laughing along with Gumball.

"Yeah, didn't you know? I always hated you." Darwin joked back. They both laughed about it for a while.

"Ok seriously, if you don't like it you want to trade?" Gumball asked, holding up his own red gumball. "I love the blue gumballs."

"Of course you do." Darwin joked. "That's a little narcissistic, don't you think?"

"I don't know what that means, but I'm gonna prove it wrong."

"It means self-centered." Darwin explained. "You know, because you love blue gumballs so much."

"Of course, because blue gumballs are the best. They blow all of the other ones out of the water due to how awesome they are." Gumball said, smirking.

"Yeah, yeah, we get it, you're awesome." Darwin said, rolling his eyes and smiling at the same time.

"Aw, thanks." Gumball said as they made the trade. He popped the gumball in his mouth and they both started giggling again as they exited the store.
