lexi was with her friends, when they one of them spoke
"hey guys?" carrie asked
"yeah?" penny said.
"i think we should go in there" carrie said pointing to the old abandoned caravel.
"and i think we shouldnt" penny said think it was very bad idea.
"well yeah, you would. what about you lexi?" carrie asked.
"i dont know" lexi said not feeling up to going inside.
"come on lexi, your gumballs twin. meaning the more you act like him, the closer you'll be" carrie explained.
"really?" lexi asked wanting to be closer to her brother.
"carrie stop it" penny scolded carrie.
"how about this? i'll give you $20 if you spend an hour in there" carrie said.
"i'm in" lexi said going in to the caravel.
"you sure lexi?" penny asked concerned.
"yes" lexi said and walked around the caravel. she stopped when she noticed a ferris wheel. lexi then got a text from carrie saying she'll give her an extra 20 if she rides the ferris wheel for a minute.
"another 20" lexi said to her then respond to the text saying yes. lexi then went on the ferris wheel and pulled the lever so it would spin.
"easiest $40 i made" lexi said to herself as she enjoyed the ride. about 40 seconds into her ride, something happened. the wheel stopped at the top.
"what the-" lexi began has her wheel stopped.
"damn, the wheel stopped" lexi said then text this to carrie. carrie responded back with an lol before saying she and penny were coming in.
"lexi, you up there?" carrie asked.
"yeah, i'm here. the wheel stopped for some reason" lexi explained and penny examined the switch. it was in its down position.
"the switch is in its down position. must be because its old and broke" carrie explained. she then tried to unjam it and as she did the ferris wheel jerked back and forth causing the carriage lexi was in to jerk, and then a screw came of the carriage and it slanted a little.
"what the hell?" lexi said sliding.
"carrie stop. look" penny said pointing to the carriage lexi was in.
"ooohhhhhh. my bad" carrie said.
"carrie, what are we suppose to do if she falls?" penny asked concerned.
"i dunno" carrie said nervous. lexis carriage the began to break of its hinges.
"aahhh" lexi said scared. she was sure she would die. the carriage the snapped and came off its hinges, and began to fall.
"LEXI" carrie and penny said in unison. they closed there eyes as to not look. about10seconds past but they didnt here a crash. they both looked and saw nicole had caught the wheel in mid-fall.
"thank god" penny said happy that she got there in time.
(at the watterson house)
lexi was in the living room on the couch looking down as her mother scolded her
"have you completely lost your mind?" nicole asked scolding her daughter.
"i'm sorry. i wasnt thinking" lexi defended.
"obviously. if i hadnt gotten there who knows what would have happened" nicole said.
"i would have gotten hurt" lexi said thinking about what almost happened.
"thats an understatement. you would have died" nicole scolded lexi.
"your lucky penny called me before you went in the caravel" nicole said still upset.
"i'm sorry" lexi said near the point of tears.
"sigh, i know you are sweetie, but that doesnt change the fact that you did something you knew could get you hurt and almost did. i'm afraid i'm going to have to punish you" nicole explained to her daughter.
"i understand. i guess i'll go to my room" lexi said thinking her mom was just going to ground her.
"i'm afriad your not getting off with just a grounding" nicole said.
"so what are you going to do with me?" lexi asked nervous.
"you heard about the time gumball went into the forest of doom?" nicole asked her daughter.
"yes" lexi said scared now. she was on a school trip at the time gumball did that, but when she came back her siblings told her all about it.
"then you know what i did to him when he did something like that?" nicole asked.
"please dont mom. i promise it wont happen again" lexi begged nicole, knowing nicole was going to spank her.
"i'm sorry lexi. i dont want to spank you, but you leave me no choice" nicole and sat on the couch next to lexi.
"now are you going to be like your brother, or are you going to accept your punishment?" nicole asked her daughter. lexi sighed and placed herself over her moms lap.
"i'm proud of you lexi" nicole said holding lexis tail out of the way. nicole then began to spank lexi.
"ow, owie, ouch" lexi said as nicole spanked her. she knew she was holding back some of her strength, but it still hurt a lot. lexi didnt even bother to hold back her tears. she was just to upset at the pain and that she did something so stupid.
"owie. mom, i'm sorry" lexi cried wanting the spanking to stop.
"i know lexi, but its almost over" nicole said as she finished the spanking with another 10 hits. she spanked her daughter exactly 30 times like she did gumball before. nicole helped lexi up off her lap and hugged her.
"i'm so sorry mom" lexi cried into her moms chest.
"its okay baby. i forgive you" nicole said rubbing lexis back slowly.
"i hated what i did, but i had to do it. do you know why?" nicole asked lexi.
"cause i did something that almost got me killed" lexi said crying less now.
"yes, but theres another reason. your my daughter lexi and i dont want you to get hurt" niole said tears forming.
"do you know how bad i would have felt it you got hurt, or how your father and siblings would feel if something happened to you?" nicole asked crying from just think about it.
"you would have all felt bad and hurt, cause if i had died, you would all be sad forever" lexi said burying her head in her moms chest felling very guilty.
"yes lexi. none of us would be able to live without you, mostly gumball" nicole told lexi. lexi knew what she was talking about, as her and gumball have been together since birth, so he would have hurt the most if she died.
"i'm so so so so sorry mommy" lexi said almost at tears again.
"its okay sweetie. just promise me you'll never do something like that again" nicole said.
"i promise" lexi and nicole hugged her tight kissing her forehead.
"i love you mom" lexi said.
"i love you to sweetie" nicole said.
