Hey guys, sorry it took so long to post this chapter, I've been caught up in my other story. Anyways, hope you like it. Oh, by the way, Carrie has a body in this story due to "Ghost puberty".

Gumball and Carrie were happily walking to the park. As they were walking, Gumball felt something lay on his shoulder. He looked over and saw it was Carrie, she was resting her head on his shoulder. Gumball smiled and had the courage to grab her hand and hold it in his. They both blushed, but they didn't notice. "Gumball, i'm glad you agreed to be my science partner. It means so much to me." Carrie said breaking the silence. "Carrie, call me wrong, but are you smiling?" Gumball said. "Yeah, and it feels good too." Carrie said floating a little bit closer. Gumball noticed this and dropped her hand, only to wrap it around her waist and pull her closer to him. They again blushed. "I'm glad we're more than friends, I have wanted this for a long time." Gumball said breaking the silence this time. Carrie was taken aback, had she heard correctly? Had he said that he had wanted this for a long time? "Me too." Carrie said, ignoring her thoughts.

They arrived at the park with twenty five minutes left in the normal school time. They walked hand in hand (A/N:Ghostly stub in paw?) over to the swings. They started off having fun, but then turned it into a competition to see who could get higher. "Hey Carrie, are you ready to give up? We both know how this will turn out." Gumball said. "Yeah, I know i'll end up winning." Carrie said. Gumball knew she was right, so he was going to go out with a bang. "Hey Carrie, watch this." Gumball said. Right after he said it, he jumped off, doing a perfect triple backflip and landed on his feet. "Wow, I guess cats do always land on their feet." Carrie said. "Yeah, yeah, yeah" Gumball said rolling his eyes.

They stayed at the park for ten minutes. They were lying underneath a tree holding hands. "Listen Carrie, I have to say something." Gumball said sitting up. "Uh-oh, super serious moment coming up." Carrie said giggling. But then she saw that Gumball was totally serious. "What is it?" Carrie asked. "Well, it's about how much i like you. Actually, like isn't a strong enough word, I love you Carrie. I realize now that I always have. Even if it didn't seem like it. I hope you know that I was just trying to make you jealous by going after Penny." Gumball said. Carrie just looked at him. Then, they both moved their faces towards each other. They were finally about to meet when Darwin came out from behind the tree. "Hello guys!" Darwin said happily. "Really dude? You had to wait till now to come out, why are you even here?" Gumball asked. "I saw you two leave class together, so I decided to follow you. By the way, nice triple backflip dude." Darwin said. "Thanks. But seriously, you could've asked what we were doing instead of following us." Gumball said a little annoyed. "Yeah, but it wouldn't have been fun." Darwin said. "You have a point." Gumball said. "Sorry Carrie, I have to go home with Darwin here. Maybe we can go out tomorrow." He added. "Sounds good." Carrie said back. Gumball was about to walk away when Carrie said, "Oh, I love you too Gumball."

Well, that's it, hope you guys liked it. Sorry if it was a little short, but it's the longest chapter so far. See ya. ^v^
