On the way home from school Gumball sites in the drivers seat and concentrates on the road while his sister is busy on her cellphone. She looks up for a moment and turns her attention to Gumball. "Gumball when are you gonna fix the car radio?" She asked.

"When I get the money, and not having a job means not anytime soon" Gumball replied slightly irritated.

"Why don't you get a part time job? I'm sure Larry could use the help" Anais asked looking back down at her phone.

"Right, go work for the guy I caused so much trouble to in the past. And What if he remembers that till today we still didn't pay the late fee on that DVD.?"

Anais looked back up again, but before she could say anything she noticed a police car parked outside their house."Uh, Gumball" She said suddenly worried. "I see it." He said. Damn it! What did he do now!?" Gumball thought knowing who their most likely here for. He parked behind the police car and got out with Anais. They walked up to the front door and saw a burger police officer standing guard. "You two must be the Wattersons Kids. Go on inside" the officer said with a serious look on his face. Gumball opened the door and the first thing he noticed was his mom fighting back her rage and trying not to cry at the same time. His mom was a blue cat just like him. She wore a white shirt with a rainbow factory pin on it and a grey skirt. She stood behind the living room couch and to her right was a doughnut officer holding some papers in his left hand and looking straight at him. on the couch was his 15 year old adopted brother Darwin, an orange fish with legs that only wore a pair of green shoes.

"Hello Gumball, you must be wondering whats going on here. Well its simple your brother has been caught shop lifting again and has been placed under probation. If he is caught disobeying the law again, he will be sent to the young offenders institution." Explained the officer as he looked over his papers. Gumball was in shock, but was kind of expecting this to happen sooner or later.

Darwin was no longer the lovable little kid he used to be. After Gumball and Penny's relationship got to serious Darwin slowly started to drift away from him. Even after several attempts to either get closer to Gumball or brake up his relationship with Penny altogether, he finally came to a point where he had to move on. Unfortunately, he didn't take it that well and went into a state of depression which he masks with a rebellious attitude.

The officer then walked over to Gumball and whispered something in his ear. "His young and still has a chance. If theirs anything you need to help him, feel free to give me a call, but the less I'm involved the better. In the the interest of trust" He then walked out the door and looked back at Gumballs mom, Nicole and then down at Anais who stood next to Gumball facing the floor lost in her thoughts. "Lets go." He said to his partner and they left the house. Nicole could not take it anymore and decided to go to her room rather then lash out at her child. Anais followed and went to her room leaving Gumball and Darwin alone.

"I know what your gona say and I don't want to hear it." Darwin said staring at the turned off TV screen.

"Fine, I wont say it, but you know its true. I just wana-" Gumball was cut off by Darwin.

"Just shut the hell up man!" Darwin yelled. He then stood up and walked to the Basement door. He opened it and went down stairs slamming the door behind to what was now his room. Gumball stared at the couch in defeat, wondering what he could do to help Darwin. His father then came out of the kitchen with a sad expression. He was a fat pink rabbit with a white shirt, brown tie and brown pants. Although he looks formal he doesn't have a job and his not the brightest of the Wattersons. "Hi Gumball" His dad said still looking sad. "Hi dad. Where were you?" Gumball asked.

"Outside, I didn't want to hear it. I still have faith in him and I don't want to lose it" His dad said with a bit of confidence.

An awkward silence came in and lasted a few seconds until Gumballs dad, Richard decided to go upstairs and comfort Nicole. Gumball sat down on the couch and looked at the ceiling. "Why do people always have to change in such a bad way when they get older?" He thought to himself.
