AN: Sorry about the first chapter being so short, I felt I had to get the canon episode part out of the way in one chapter to set the scene. Chapters will hopefully be longer from now on.

When Gumball released the string a scream was heard and then a loud,

"I love you Darwin!" from Teri,

"What?" Darwin replied shortly followed by a shriek when he ducked another arrow flying at him. Darwin looked around and saw gumball standing in the corner with a bow. He charged at him followed by a lovestruck Teri.

"Gumball what do you think you're doing?!" Darwin screamed at him.

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Gumball asked him.

"What put that idea into your oversized head?" Darwin shouted back as he dodged one of Teri's blown kisses.

"You were singing about her picture dude" Gumball replied.

"What? No I wasn't." Darwin said, confused.

"Yeah you were, this morning when you left after I caught you I looked at that picture and it was Teri."

"That wasn't of Teri, it was of CarAAAHHH" Darin screamed, noticing Carrie, then proceeded to turn around, blow Teri away with one puff and sprint away out of the playground.

The next day, Carrie was pondering what this meant about Darwin's feelings on the bus. She knew she should be happy now as it clearly meant he liked her, but this nagging part of her brain kept saying to her.

He was scared of you, that's a bad thing.

He could of been about to say Carmen.

How could anyone love you.

"That's enough, shut up brain. I'm going to ask him to sit by me right now and prove you wrong." Carrie thought. Then she realised what she had just resolved to do, asking the boy she'd had a crush on for 4 years to sit next to her want going to be as easy as it sounded. And it didn't sound easy.

"I don't know man, you of all people should know how hard it is."

"Dude, she likes you ok? One of the ingredients for that love potion was the tear of someone who loved you and guess who cried?"

"You?"

"No Darwin, she did, okay?"

"C'mon when did you work out that penny liked you?"

"Probably at the play when she changed the script to kiss me."

"Exactly! She dropped so many hints way before, everyone knew she liked you."

"Name one hint."

"She asked you out to Tobias' party didn't she?"

"Two hints."

"She was gonna kiss you in the tree house wasn't she?"

"Three"

"Look you get my point, its not easy, I'll ask her when I'm ready."

"Okay man, but hurry up. At this point I'm pretty sure it'll kill you if someone else gets to her first."

Darwin looked out the window just as the bus arrived, signalled by a toot on the horn from Rocky. He hurried Gumball down the stairs and met Anais at the door as they all headed out and got ready for a new day of school.

AN: Later chapters may be longer but I think this is a good size as I will probably upload new chapters frequently.

Signing off for now,
