Gumball Walks down the sidewalk to school with a lot on his mind thinking about what to say to penny and what she'll react to what he said. "I'm going to do it" Gumball said in his head. "I'm going to tell her" Gumball said in his head again. "I can't cower out on this, I have to be brave" Gumball said in his head. Gumball takes deep breath and tries to keep his head clear and thoughts open for what he's going to tell penny. Gumball arrives at the bus stop and waits for the bus.

"But…what if she…NO! No don't think about negative gumball…you have to stay calm…just keep a positive and open mind…leave out the negative" Gumball said in his head. Gumball clinched his fist and just waits for the bus. "But there are other people…penny could already…NO! STOP! Stop thinking about the negative Gumball! Just…just…"

Gumball heart sinks at the thought of penny going out with someone else. He thinks of all the other kids in school. "Wait…who would it be…I mean there is Tobias but she hates him for what he did" Gumball said in his head. Gumballs heart rose at thought and smiles widely. "Hey Gumball!" Darwin shouted running to gumball. "Hey Darwin" Gumball said with a smile.

"How are you feeling?" Darwin asked "I'm great!" Gumball said Smiling. Darwin smiles also and finally the bus arrives. "You know man I'm really feeling confident today" Gumball said going to the back of the bus. "That's good!" Darwin said Smiling. "Yup I guess Marcus lesson are coming out good" Gumball said sitting down and laying back smiling.

They then finally arrived at school and they all leave the bus. Gumball the goes to his locker and gets the things he needs for class. But he over hears a conversation. "Hey Rachel did you hear about the school dance?" Masami asked. "doh!" Rachel said sarcastically. "Of cores I did" Rachel said getting her supplies for her class. "Well who are you going with?" Masami asked. "I don't know, no one hasn't asked me yet" Rachel said crossing her arms.

"Well go ask someone" Masami said Rachel rolled her eyes and went to class with Masami. Gumball stood there thinking. "That's it!" gumball said. "I'll ask penny to the dance, then I'll tell her my feelings there and it'll be perfect" Gumball said getting excited. Gumball got his stuff and went to class.

After class

Penny went to her locker and got put her homework in her locker and got her books for her next class. Gumball walked over to penny to ask her about the dance. "Hey penny" gumball said a little nervous. "Hi gumball" Penny said smiling. "So…did you hear about the dance?" Gumball asked. "Yeah have no one to go with" Penny said disappointed. "Uhh…d-d do you w-want to go?" Gumball asked extremely nervous. Penny looked at gumball and smiled.

"sure" Penny said smiling. "re…really?" Gumball said shocked "Of corse, pick me up at 7?" Penny asked. "Ye-Yeah!" Gumball said trying to contain his excitement. "alright gumball, see you at the dance" Penny smiles and went to her next class. Gumball jumped with excitement and went to his next class in a good mood.

After school.

Gumball went out the front entrance of Elmore with a smile on his face and humming a favorite song of his. "Hey gumball" Darwin said running to him. "Hey Darwin" Gumball said smiling "you're in a good mood, did you tell penny?" Darwin asked. "I asked her to the dance!" Gumball said smiling widely. "That's great Gumball!" Darwin said Smiling. "I told you it's not all that hard!" A voice said. Gumball and Darwin look around for where the voice comes from.

The out of nowhere Marcus lands next to gumball and Darwin. "Whoa! Dude!" Darwin said jumping back a little. "Sup guys" Marcus said smiling. "Dude don't scare us like that!" gumball said. "Sorry, anyway I heard things are going well gumball" Marcus said looking over a gumball. "Yup! I asked her out to the school dance Friday" Gumball said smiling proud. "That's great little guy, you know how to dance?" Marcus asked. Gumball thought for a second.

"Not really, I don't really have to dance right?" Gumball said looking over at Marcus. "Well you can't just sit somewhere with a girl and do nothing" Marcus said. "you got to dance and do some excitement" Marcus said. "Oh man… I can't dance" Gumball said starting to panic. "I'll make a fool out of myself! Ill embarrass penny! I'll look stupid!" Gumball said panicking. "Dude, clam down!" Darwin said. "Gumball if you need help I could teach you how to dance" Marcus said lining on the wall.

Gumball calmed down and looked at Marcus. "You know how to dance?" Gumball asked. "Well yeah" Marcus said shrugging. Gumball grabbed on to Marcus leg. "Please teach me" Gumball begged. "Will you listen?" Marcus said looking down at gumball. "Yes!" Gumball responded. "then yes, Don't worry gumball, you'll be the master of dancing when I'm done with you!"
