Gumball and Darwin in the Land of Ooo - Chapter 3: Tour de Grasslands
As Finn and Jake began to walk ahead, Gumball had a question pop up in his mind, "Aren't you going to take any climbing equipment with you?" he asked.
"Why need climbing equipment when Jake can stretch us all the way up?" Finn said, smiling.
"What do you mean?"
"You see, guys, I'm a magic dog. I can stretch myself up to be as tall as a mountain OR I could shrink down to Finn's pocket," Jake said, demonstrating his powers as he spoke.
Gumball and Darwin looked as Jake, fascinated by his magic.
"Cool powers," Darwin whispered to himself. Gumball himself was impressed too.
"Now do you believe in magic?" Finn asked.
"Yeah…" Gumball muttered in astonishment, "Yeah I- do…"
"So do you have any magic in your world?" Finn asked, curious to know about Gumball's amazing world (Hey! The cartoon's named: The Amazing World of Gumball, after all)
"Uh… We don't 'use' magic in our world," Darwin said.
"Most of the people don't even believe in them. I wonder how you could have magic in here," Gumball said.
"Most people say that magic came back to Ooo after the Great Mushroom War," Jake explained.
"Ooo?"
"Yeah, it's this land's name."
"The name of our world is Earth."
"This planet is Earth! This land is called 'Ooo'."
"Weird name," Gumball muttered.
"Hey, I think the 'Mushroom War' was the 3rd world war!" Darwin realized.
"Yeah, probably," Gumball said slowly.
The group kept walking as Finn and Jake introduced them to different people and explained the kinds of plants found in the grasslands. It took them a while to understand that The Land of Ooo is actually a super-continent formed form fusing the 7 continents together.
"I feel like a tourist," Darwin said happily, "Maybe this future isn't boring at all."
"Me too. I like to see these new creatures," Gumball agreed.
The Sun was setting, turning the sky golden at the West and light blue on the East. Finn led the group to a nearby pond – as a part of the sightseeing. Darwin was excited to see the water. He quickly took his shoes off and ran.
"Darwin! Wait!" Gumball called as he chased Darwin.
But Darwin dived before he could hear that. And once he was in the water – he didn't come out. Gumball waited a few moments before speaking with quivering lips. "He- he isn't coming out!" He said, "I'm gonna jump and look for him!"
Before Finn could say anything, Gumball already took his sweatshirt and pants off and dived in after Darwin.
"But your brother is a fish!" Finn called after him. But Gumball has already started to look for Darwin, thinking that he might have drowned.
Meanwhile under water~
"Oooooooooohhhh," Darwin muttered in astonishment as he saw what was in front of him.
It was a tiny hill with a chest at the top. The heavy box was surrounded by golden coins, jewelries and watches. He touched the gold as his eyes widened (look at Darwin's picture in the cover).
Suddenly he felt someone touch his from his behind. He quickly turned around and saw Gumball. Darwin pointed at the riches to let him know that he was here all the time. But after a few seconds, Gumball couldn't hold his breath for long and started to drown.
Darwin was alarmed and made a split-second decision, by pulling Gumball toward him - and kissing him on the mouth to provide air.
Gumball's face turned red in embarrassment.
Darwin smiled naively and said, "What? It was an emergency." But Gumball couldn't understand him since Darwin was speaking underwater. He walked up the hill and started to adorn himself with the golden jewels (Episode: The Helmet – The scene where Darwin wears the hat and covers himself in jewelry he found nearby).
Above the water~
"Dude, I don't think they are coming up," Finn said worried.
"I'm going to stretch downwards to look for them. You stay up here," Jake said to Finn. He stretched his head down underwater while his legs and body were right next to Finn.
As he looked for the cat and the fish under water, Gumball and Darwin were already swimming their way up. They noticed Jake, but they continued to swim up, signaling him to come out of the water as well.
Once out of the water, Darwin showed the group what he found.
"Woah, how'd you find them?" Jake said.
"Easy. It was in the bottom of the pond," Darwin said smiling.
"And how are you even alive, Gumball?" Finn asked, "You guys were in there for minutes!"
Gumball frowned at Darwin. But Darwin was positive about it. "I helped him breathe," he said smiling.
Finn and Jake figured out what Darwin was talking about.
There was an awkward pause.
"Uhh… Let's keep going, shall we? Jake, take us to the wizard you were talking about," Gumball said to break the silence.
"Oh, ok," Jake stammered, then began to walk. Gumball, Darwin and Finn followed as the sky turned darker.
This chapter shows that Finn and Jake are now friends with Gumball and Darwin.
I know, this chapter didn't have much of an adventure to it, but I promise next chapter would be interesting! Also this chapter may be useful in the end of the story ;) So please continue to read...
Coming up next: Gumball and Darwin makes a shocking discovery when they reach the top of the mountain. Find out what it is on Chapter 4!
