The next day Gumball woke up a bit down, due to the post-christmas blues. He started to get dressed when he remembered Darwin.

"Can you turn around when I get dressed please?" He asked Darwin

"Do you really think I care about what's under your clothes?" Darwin asked

"Not really, it's just weird with you looking."

"Ok, whatever makes you feel more comfortable." Darwin replied while turning away from Gumball. Gumball quickly got dressed and said "Ok, i'm done, you can turn back around now." Darwin did so. A few hours later Gumball was pacing around the room. "UGH! I'm so bored!" he said.

"How? You just got a bunch of new stuff yesterday." Darwin asked, confused.

"Yeah, but I'm tired of that stuff."

"It hasn't even been a day, it can't be that boring."

"Oh yeah? Well, I'll prove it to you." Gumball got out his handheld video game device and put his new video game inside.

"Ooo! What's that?" Darwin asked

"It's a videogame. Do you really not know what a videogame is?" Gumball asked

"Not really, I think I saw some kids playing with those in the pet store though."

"Yeah, you probably have." Gumball played the game, Darwin watching the entire time, until he got to level three. "See? Now I'm stuck." Gumball said in frustration.

"Try going left, then right, then left again." Darwin suggested.

"You haven't even seen a videogame before today, why should I follow you?"

"Just try it."

"Alright, but if I get even more lost it's all your fault." Gumball did what Darwin suggested and was surprised when he managed to find his way out of the maze. "How did you know to do that?" Gumball asked.

"It's just a maze puzzle, those aren't that hard."

"You think you could help me with the rest of the game?" Gumball asked

"Maybe." Darwin said. So Gumball kept playing, with Darwin chiming in every once in a while to give him pointers.

"Oh no, it's the final boss, I can't do this, he's gonna cream me." Gumball said

"No he's not, you've gotten pretty good at this, and I'll help you."

"Ok" Gumball said nervously as he started fighting the boss.

"He's got his sword out! Block him!" Darwin said and Gumball complied. "Yes! The block distracted him, attack now!" Darwin shouted and Gumball once again complied. The screen displayed the words YOU WIN! and Gumball and Darwin started cheering.

"Yes! Yes! We did it!" Gumball said triumphantly.

"No, you did it. You're the one who played the game."

"Yeah, but if it wasn't for you I would still be stuck on level three."

"Alright, I guess we did both do it." They started cheering again only to be interrupted by Nicole shouting "Gumball, it's dinner time!" Both boys looked at each other in surprise.

"I didn't realize how long we've been playing." Gumball admitted

"Me neither."

"Well, I should probably go eat dinner."

"Yeah, you probably should, and don't forget to feed me after you eat ok?"

"Ok" Gumball said as he joined his family downstairs. That night when he went to bed he thought back to the day's events. That was the most fun he'd had in a while. No one else would sit and play videogames with him for that long, especially if he technically wasn't playing himself. Does that mean he and Darwin were friends now? He looked over at Darwin, asleep in his bowl, and smiled. Yeah, they were definitely friends, he thought as he fell asleep.
