The tree teenagers headed towards their door when they saw Nicole head out carrying Richard on her arms.

"Oh my God kids thank heaven you are here, I need to take your father to the hospital, I need you to watch over Anais!" Nicole said as she got in the car.

"What happened to Mr. Richard Ms. Nicole?" Carrie asked with a worried tone of voice.

"I… can't explain it to any of you, let's just say he confused something with food and… it happened what it had to happen" Nicole said as she fastened her seatbelt.

"Take care and Carrie please, make sure they don't make any trouble while I'm out" Nicole said as she pet Carrie's head.

"Don't worry I'll watch over Gummy… I mean I'll make sure they don't get into any trouble" Carrie said as she blushed.

"Thank you darling!" Nicole said as she started driving away.

"You almost slipped that one out Carrie!" Darwin said as he smiled.

"Do you think she noticed?" Carrie asked ashamed.

"I don't know… hey since we have home alone can I invite Teri so we can watch some movies?" Darwin asked with enthusiasm.

"Yeah, I mean sure it's ok like it's not like I'm going to oppose right Carrie?" Gumball said as he turned his view towards Carrie.

"Well, technically your mother left me in charge so I'll agree with one condition" Carrie said with a small smile drawn on her face.

"Ok which one?" Darwin asked as he scratched his chin.

"I choose the movie" Carrie said with a huge smile on her face.

"What do you think Gum… Gumball?" Darwin said as he saw his brother lost in his thoughts.

"Hey Dar… can you give us a few seconds alone?" Carrie whispered on Darwin's ear as he gave her a thumb up and walked away.

"Hey sweetie, it's everything all right?" Carrie asked with a gentle voice as she waved her hand in front of his face.

"What? Oh yeah… yeah baby I'm… I'm ok" Gumball said with a sad voice as he sat on the grass.

"Well doesn't sound like it honey… does it has anything to do with what Penny said to you today?" Carrie asked as she took a sit next to him.

"No… no I… well yes but…-"

"Did she hurt your feelings again or something?" I swear I'm going t-"

"It's not something she said it's more… about how I feel… towards her" Gumball said as he took a deep breath and stared at the grass.

"You still love her…" Carrie said as if she was hurt by Gumball's statement.

"No Carrie I do not love her, I love you, only you but I feel… I feel conflicted" Gumball said as his voice was filled with anxiety as he avoided direct eye contact with Carrie.

"Don't lie to me Gum… I would understand if you still lov-"

"No Carrie for fuck's sake I love you not her! I even think you are the very one, at least that's how I feel but… what Penny said to me, how I feel about her, I do not know if I should keep this anger toward or just…" Gumball exploded as his voice broke and tears ran down his cheeks as he avoided any kind of eye contact with Carrie as he gave her his back.

"Gumball… please forgive I didn't mean to hurt you much less make you feel as if doubted you I just… didn't knew you felt this conflicted about it… about her" Carrie said with regret as she hugged Gumball.

"I'm sorry I just… want to let this anger go but at the same time, it's difficult for me to forget what she said to me back then, I had never hold this kind of feelings towards someone but…" Gumball said as he kept crying.

"Shhh shhh, it's ok kitty, just let it go, let it out" Carrie said as she wiped Gumball's tears with her ghostly hands.

She then grabbed him by his right cheek and stared at him, she looked into his dark eyes as she wiped the tears, she started to lean towards him, their lips got closer, and closer, they could feel each other's breath, their lips were just a few millimeters away from touching and when they got close enough.

"Carrie what are you doing with my brother?" A familiar voice shouted from the upstairs room window.

"Anais! Huh… hey! I was just blowing him! I mean, blowing his eye since he had something in it and he-"

"Do you think I'm that stupid? Pretty sure you don't even have lungs" Anais said with a serious voice as she held Daisy.

"She is a pretty clever child" Gumball said wit amazement.

"And quite a prick for such a young age" Carrie said as she crossed her arms.

Both of the teenagers went inside the house and once in Gumball headed to the bathroom to take a bath meanwhile Carrie headed towards Anais's room.

"Anais? Are you there?" Carrie asked as she knocked the door.

"Yes I'm and if you want to get in you can always fly through, right?" Anais responded in a rude way.

Carrie flew through the door, the light came from the window and illuminated the whole room, It felt peaceful there but something made her feel weird, something felt wrong, then she saw Anais sitting on a table playing with Daisy.

"Why are you so angry with me?" Carrie said as she flew through the door with a gentle voice.

"Listen Carrie, you might be able to hide your relationship with Gumball from mom and dad, but I'm not that oblivious you know" Anais said with an emotionless facial expression as she placed Daisy on the tea table.

"What do you… I mean, what are you tal-"

"Carrie… I literally found you smelling Gumball's sweater on the room mom gave you until you fell asleep as you rubbed your face against it" Anais said with the same emotionless tone of voice as she served Daisy some imaginary tea.

Carrie stood there in silence as her face went from pale white to tomato red.

"Please don't tell anyone about that" Carrie rapidly said as she avoided eye contact.

"Listen Carrie, I love Gumball, I know sometimes it doesn't look like it but I do, and I'm going to be honest with you, it makes me jealous to see him being so affective and caring with you, but I do understand he likes you, also I'm not the only who feels that way, but I won't say anything about your relationship with him, but listen to me and listen well, if you treat him or do anything that will break his little heart just the way Penny did… you are going to regret it, capisci?" Anais said with a dead serious tone of voice as she kept playing and only made eye contact when she was finished.

"I… I see, don't worry, the last thing I would do is treat Gumball the way Penny did" Penny said with a relaxed voice.

"Good, now leave" Anais commanded as she stared at her.

"Ok then see you" Carrie said as she opened the door to leave.

"Oh and Carrie" Anais said before Carrie left the room.

"Oh sorry I'm flying through i-"

"Gumball is terrified of Freddy Krueger" Anais said as she took a sip from her imaginary tea.

"Oh… thank you!" Carrie said with a smile on her face as Anais gave her a thumb up.

Carrie then got out of Anais room and when she got out she saw Gumball with a towel wrapped around his waist as he got out of the bathroom.

"Oh shit Carrie don't look I… I didn't know you yo-"

"Oh no it's ok, I'm actually enjoying the view" Carrie said with a lewd look on her face.

"Carrie oh my God stop!" Gumball said a she blasted intensely.

"Oh come on as if it was the first time I see you n..." Carrie then suddenly stopped as she realized what she was going to say.

"Wait… what do you me-"

Suddenly Darwin ran upstairs and saw Carrie staring at Gumball as they both blushed.

"Hey guys I… I… am I interrupting something or… is this like a bad time?" Darwin said as he scratched the back of his head with anxiety.

"No!" Both Carrie and Gumball shouted

"This is not what it looks like Darwin!" Gumball said as he raised his hands waving them from side to side.

"It's ok I mean, if one day you want some privacy and I'm in a room you can always tell me I'll understand so yo-"

"Darwin stop you are making things more awkward than what they already are" Carrie said with a nervous and angry voice.

"You know what? You are right I'm going downstairs to prepare some snacks for the movie, see you!" Darwin said a she quickly escaped that awkward situation.

"Yeah you... you go do that and I'll got to my room to do-"

"Me?"

Gumball's face went red as a tomato when Carrie said that and quickly ran towards his room as Carrie giggled.

"Carrie can you come downstairs" Darwin yelled from the kitchen.

"Sure I'll be there in five!" Carrie said as she headed to her room.

Once inside her room she searched inside her closet for a chest, once opened it revealed Carrie's most valuable items, there was a picture of the Watterson's with her when she joined their family, some love letters Gumball made for her and in the bottom there was a movie, the name of the movie was A nightmare on Elm street.

"Another reason to keep you as my favorite movie" Carrie said under her breath as she started to make her way to the kitchen.

"Oh hey Carrie, glad that you are here, so… have you decided which movie are we going to watch?" Darwin asked as he filled a bowl with chips.

"This one" she said as she showed Darwin the movie.

"I… don't think that's a good idea Carrie" Darwin said with a worried expression on his face.

"And why is that?" Carrie said with disgust.

"Because… well… I cannot tell you" Darwin said with a sad tone of voice.

"Come on I know that Gumball it's scared by this movie but it can't be that bad… right?" Carrie said with a chill out attitude.

"No Carrie you don't understand, Gumball it's seriously terrified by it like…" Darwin looked all over the kitchen and nearby the living room to make sure Gumball wasn't near and then took a deep breath.

"Ok don't tell him that I told you this but, he even spent a whole month sleeping with mom and dad because of that movie and he didn't slept the first week after watching it, he fell asleep only until his body couldn't handle it anymore" Darwin whispered as he took out some sodas from the refrigerator.

"Oh come on I was like six years old when that happened!" Gumball said as he entered the kitchen.

"How? Where? How were you able to hear us if you were in the other room?" Carrie asked amazed by the fact Gumball heard Darwin.

"I'm a cat honey, I have a good ear"Gumball said as he tried to grab some chips from the bowl but Darwin slapped his hand.

"Well, but still honey, it's ok, we can always watch another mov-"

"Pssst forget about that honey let's watch it!" Gumball said as he took a sit on a chair and made a relaxed pose.

"Ok then bro, but you are not making me sleep with you if you get scared again" Darwin said with an angry voice as he crossed his arms.

"Psst what? That… that never happened don't be silly!" Gumball said with anxiety as he looked all over the place.

"Yeah su-"

Darwin was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.

"Oh Teri is here!" Darwin said as he ran towards the door.

"The orange fish checked his breath; he tried to fix a non-existent hair and opened the door only to see his beloved girlfriend using the same outfit of always but with an added cute little hat.

"You look beautiful" Darwin said as his eyes were filled with joy from looking at the person he loved.

"Oh stop it you…" Said Teri as she fixed her hat and blushed.

"Come in please" Darwin said as she got inside.

"Hi Gumball, hello Carrie!" Teri said as she took a sit on the sofa.

"Hello Teri" Said Carrie a she placed the movie on the dvd.

"Sup Ter" Gumball said as he took a sit on the sofa.

"So what are we going to watch?" Teri asked as she took a sit with elegance on the sofa.

"A nightmare on Elm Street" Carrie said with a spectral face.

"Oh I love Freddy Krueger movies" said Teri with excitement.

Everyone turned their eyes towards her as they made a confused look.

"Just because you think I'm a fragile and sensitive paper bear doesn't mean that I do not like violent stuff from time to time" Teri said as she waved her index finger.

"Anyways here's everything we need, chips, soda, house alone, the people we love…" Darwin said as he placed everything on the table in front of the TV.

The teenagers made themselves comfortable and started to watch the movie, everyone was focused on the movie, Darwin and Teri were truly focused on the movie but from time to time they would kiss when Gumball and Carrie wouldn't notice, meanwhile Carrie tried to make up with Gumball but Gumball was either being terrified or tried to proof his braveness by not looking away from the movie.

"Can you imagine how much of a torture that situation is? Not only when you fall asleep, but think about it, you cannot sleep, sleep deprivation it's one of the worst things that someone can experience, there are even physiological effects from it did you guys knew it?" Teri said as she ate some chips.

"Yeah erm, Teri that's all cool and all but you ar-"

"How about if you tell us about those stages?" Gumball interrupted Carrie as he made an interested facial expression trying to pay attention to Teri.

"Well first we have aching muscles, your whole body hurts and some people say the pain gets worse the longer you don't sleep, you start getting confused about everything, nothing makes sense or you…"

Teri continued with her talk through the whole movie until it finished, by the time it finished it was already dark but Darwin decided to make some dinner for everyone so he could spend just a little bit more of time with Teri, meanwhile Gumball headed upstairs to see how was Anais, when he arrived his door he just entered without knocking and saw Anais already sleeping.

"Awww, ain't that cute?" Gumball whispered as he saw Anais sleeping, he got close and covered her with a blanket, he then looked around making sure no one was near, he then kissed her forehead and whispered on her ear.

"I love you sister sleep well" Gumball then got out of the room silently.

Anais opened one eye making sure Gumball was outside of the room, she made a small smile and with a little tear in her right eye she said.

"I love you too brother"

Once downstairs Gumball saw everyone eating on the sofa some sandwiches accompanied with chocolate milk.

"Well damn simple but delicious, good job bro" Gumball said as he grabbed a sandwich.

"Thank you bro" Darwin said as he drank his chocolate milk.

"Gumball… can I, you know" Carrie said with a polite voice.

"You know you can darling" Gumball said as he looked at her eyes.

Carrie then took possession of Gumball's body and started eating some, after 3 sandwiches and one glass of milk she got out.

"Thank you honey!" Carrie said filled with pleasure.

"No worries baby" Gumball replied.

"Well guys, it's getting late I think I'm leaving before mom gets back from work" Teri said as she put her hat on.

"Oh come on honey just a little bit longer" Darwin said as he grabbed her hands.

"Hey Gumball, can you come with me I want to show you something" Carrie said as she grabbed Gumball by his arm and took him out of the kitchen.

"Wait what? Hey my sandwich!" Gumball said as he got pretty much kicked out of the kitchen by Carrie.

Darwin and Teri looked at each other; suddenly Teri smiled and took her hat off.

"Five?" Darwin asked with a smile on his face.

Carrie took her phone and put the timer on 5 minutes.

"Five" Teri said with a confident look on her face.

Then suddenly both started kissing with passion, Teri lost balance and was against the wall as Darwin kissed her with passion, Teri barely opened her eyes only to look deep into Darwin's eyes filled with lust.

"Don't stop sweetie, keep it up" Teri whispered on his ear.

Darwin started kissing her neck as Teri bit her lip and held Darwin's head against her neck, she smiled and pulled him off as she kissed him in the lips, she didn't break the kiss for quite some time; she placed her hand on his face and said:

"I love you Darwin, I don't know if I'm but… you are the one for me"

"Oh darling, I… I didn't want to say it because I was scared of you thinking I was being a creep or something but… I have been feeling the same since that day in your special place" Darwin said as he recovered his breath.

"I think you mean our special place" Teri said with a small smile.

"Yes honey… our special place" Darwin said and as soon as he finished that sentence the alarm of the phone ringed.

"See you tomorrow?" Teri asked with as she caressed his cheek.

"You bet baby" Darwin said as he held her hand against his cheek.

Darwin accompanied her to the bust stop and kissed her when the bus finally arrived, when he arrived home he took a bath and headed to his room, suddenly he noticed something weird in the room, he saw Gumball's pillow next to his fishbowl.

"Gumball I told you!" Darwin said with an angry voice.

"Come on bro I tried but when I fell asleep I could see him, he was getting near a-"

"No Gumball no! I'm sorry but you are going to sleep outside the room, sorry bro but I warned you, we could have watched something else but nooo" Darwin said as he took Gumball's blanket and pillow outside of the room.

"Well… fine then, I don't need you, I'll just stay here, outside… alone…" Gumball said as he covered half of his body and hugged his pillow.

The blue cat was there alone, trying to be brave but deep inside he was frightened, he sits there in the corner, terrified of falling asleep, he then saw the lights get turned on downstairs, he sees a shadow, it starts getting bigger, it's getting closer, he hears a groaning, he can't keep it together anymore and ran as fast as he ever did towards Carrie's room, he opened the door as fast as a lighting yet as silent as a graveyard in the night, he got inside Carrie's bed and hugged her as he covered both with her blankets.

"What the fu… Gumball?" Carrie said confused as she saw the blue cat hugging her as he cried in fear.

"Please let me sleep with you Carrie, please don't ask any questions just let me be here with you!" Gumball whispered with his eyes closed as he hid his face on her chest.

Carrie then smiled and hugged him as she hushed trying to calm him down.

"It's ok my kitty, I'll protect you just sleep" She whispered as she blushed while she hugged him with extreme cuteness.

The blue cat stopped crying in silence, his heartbeat went back to normality, he then smiled and fell asleep in her arms, as she took a few minutes to contemplate the scene and then fell asleep as she hugged him.
