Hey guys, its me again. Sorry I took so long of making this, but it took me almost the entire day to make this chapter. This chapter will lead up to the main problem of the story. Enjoy.

Chapter 4: Something Unexpected.

The Watterson family had arrive at the resort in Elmore Palm Springs, once they entered the resort, they find Penny and her family had also arrive. After getting their room and clearing their things out of their luggage, Richard zoom out of the room to go to the buffet table, then the rest of the family went in after him. They went to the lobby and looked for any sign of their fat and lazy bunny. They looked to the left then the right, but nothing.

Nicole asked the kids "See your father anywhere, kids?"

Gumball remarked "None of them fit the description of 'fat' and 'lazy,' and lot to mention 'bunny.'"

"This isn't funny, Gumball!" Anais scoffed. "We have to find dad before we all get kick out!"

Darwin asked "Well, how are we going to find a fat middle age rabbit in a five story resort?"

Then a scream had alerted the rest of the family. They turn their heads to where the scream was heard. Most of the people were running for their lives and passing the family, attracting attention to everyone in the lobby.

"Help! Lunatic bunny had gone mad!"

The family realized what they were running from. Nicole grab the first person in the stampede and asked "Sir, what's all the commotion?"

The man replied "There's some fat middle age rabbit in the buffet table and he's making a havoc!" After that being say, he resume running away.

The Waterson family looked at where the people were running and Anais spotted the location and exclaimed "Look!"

The family turned their heads onto the dinner lounge, where it was the site of people were running.

Gumball guessed "Something tells me that dad had hit the buffet table."

The Watterson family run to the dinner lounge and discover that Richard was there at the buffet table, eating large amount of food like a combination of a vampire and a werewolf. There was chicken, pizza, sausage, rice, mashed potatoes, and everything. He was on top of the table, scaring people with his meaning look. He was like a mad dog and barking at people not to get near the table. Most of the people who were their seats left the moment Richard set his eyes on the buffet table, the rest of them stay there and watch the whole thing with great shock.

Nicole was bursting with rage and lay out the most powerful outburst no man or woman had ever done.

"RICHARD JAMES WATTERSON!"

The entire room stopped and froze by her outburst. It shock the lounge, quite possibly the entire building. Maybe the universe. Gumball and his siblings felt startled and ran to a table. Richard stopped barking and stopped in shock to see his wife. He got a good look at her eyes; there were on fire, like literally on fire. He felt so scare that his jaw dropped, releasing all the food that he stuff on the ground. The entire room felt gross out by the food wasted by the large and lazy bunny's mouth. The chew up food was a combination of pizza, chicken, rice, and some of the things they don't what it is. Was it mashed potatoes or oatmeal? They couldn't know.

Nicole ordered in her demonic voice "GET...DOWN...HERE...NOW."

Richard got down on the table and crawled like a dog to his wife. He then got up to face her scowling look. Richard felt nervous at the sight of that. Before he can answer, a voice had stopped him.

"What is going on here?!"

Both Nicole and Richard, plus everyone in the room turn their heads and see three people, all of them looking very angry. The person who was in the middle was a living red pepper, wearing an employer suit, except his suit was dark grey and had a golden name tag that say "Manager.". He was about in his late forties, a small moustache on his face and his eyes were green. He had both of his hands on his hips. The two people right behind him were two living guinea pigs, wearing a security guard uniform.

The living red pepper said more than a couple of words "I just received word that a fat middle age rabbit was causing a havoc on the buffet table."

Richard felt guilty and put his hand up, admitting "You're looking at him, sir."

The Watterson kids went to their parents and the living red pepper and the two guinea pigs walked to the family.

Nicole said "I'm so sorry, sir. We were-"

"Sir?" The living red repeated. "Madam, I'm will not be call a "sir" to everyone here. My name is Rupert Norbert. I'm the manager of the resort. So what is going on here."

"I'm sorry, sir. We were trying to get our dad to control himself. You know our dad, he goes loco when he's goes to a buffet table in the resort." Gumball said, the manager wasn't happy about this. Not one bit. "We never been to a resort before. This is our first time here."

Mr. Norbert asked "And who are you? In fact, who are you all?" He was referring to the rest of the Watterson family.

Darwin smiled "We're the Wattersons!"

"Watterson?" Mr. Norbert repeated the goldfish's words as he grab his clipboard from inside of his shirt and see the names the people that were staying here. Then he found the family's name. "Ahh, yes. You're here till the end of the week and you're already been here for fifteen minutes and your husband is already scaring the guests."

"We're sorry, Mr. Norbert. We'll have him out of here." Nicole apologized again.

Mr. Norbert said with his eyes twitch "You better. The only thing I don't tolerate is guest who run amok on the lounge and barking like a mad dog. That, and…" He took one look at the Wattersons kids, hissing at the end. "kids."

"Don't worry, sir. My kids will be on their best behavior, right?"

The Watterson kids answered politely in unison "Yep!"

"Right Richard?" Nicole turn to her husband, who was too busy eating a bit of chicken that he didn't answer her question.

"I said, right Richard?!"

Richard quickly answered, startled "Yes, sir! I mean Ma'am!"

Nicole smiled nervously to the manager, who didn't let out an ounce of smile. Mr. Norbert looked at the family one by one and concluded "I hope for your sake, Mrs. Watterson. I'll let you off with a warning, but next time I see your husband eating on other people food, you and your family will be throw out and never set one foot in this hotel ever again. Understood?"

Nicole nodded "Yes, Mr. Norbert."

"Good." Stated Mr. Norbert, who turned away from the family and left the lounge, so did the guards. After they left, the rest of the guest went back eating their food and minding their own business and Nicole face her guilty husband, who replied, crossing her arms with authority "Well, Richard, what did you have to say for yourself?"

Richard had the chicken on his mouth; he then took it out from his mouth and held it onto Nicole. "Want some?"

Nicole sighed "This is exactly what I was afraid of. Maybe taking this trip was a bad idea; we should just leave."

The rest of the family spoke out of terms by saying "No, no, no!"

"Mom, please, don't cancel the trip!"

"We promise we'll be good!"

"Yeah!"

"I'll try to give up food if I have to! Wait, would I?"

Nicole asked "So you'll promise to behave?"

The four of them answered in unison "Yes!"

"You'll be on your best behavior?"

"Yes!"

"You won't cause any problems while we're here?"

"Yes!"

"Okay then." Smiled Nicole. "We're staying here." The rest of the family cheered loudly, cause a few attention to the guest. She shakes her head before grabbing Richard's hand. "Come on, Richard. Let's get you clean up. In the meantime, you kids should stay here and try not to upset the guest or Mr. Norbert."

Gumball smiled with his siblings behind his back "No problem, mom. You can count on us!"

Nicole said in a worried tone "I hope so."

With Nicole gone to take Richard for a shower, the Watterson kids were left alone in the lobby.

Gumball faces his siblings and asked "So what do you guys want to do?"

"I think we should go back to the hotel room where its same." Anais suggested.

"Or we should do whatever the heck we want! What do you say guys?"

"Are you kidding me, Gumball? Did it you heard what mom said just now?

Gumball answered "Yeah, she said not to get anymore trouble."

"And you choose to get even more trouble after what happened with dad just now? The little pink bunny asked.

Darwin added "Yeah, and besides if Mr. Norbert finds out, he'll kick out all of us out of the resort for good."

"Don't worry, bro." Gumball shrugged. "I have a plan to make this trip better."

"Your plans always failed and kick us out everywhere we go. Not to mention your plan of making this the "best spring break ever." Anais remarked as she finger quoted on the last sentence.

Gumball asked "How did you know that?"

"I notice that you were looking at the window and was making the face."

"What face?"

"The face of whenever you have a plan that involves making a day better, or in your case, 'the best spring break ever.' Also, I found a list from your luggage that said "How to make this the Best Spring Break Ever." Anais was showing her two brothers a paper that Gumball made last night before they went on the trip. It was a list of things of how is he going to make this spring break the best and finally get his first kiss with Penny.

"You were digging to my stuff?" Gumball asked in surprise.

Anais answered "No, I just found it on the ground when we were unpacking our things."

"And let me guess, you're here to criticize me of my plan?"

"Yes and no. The idea of making this spring break the best spring break ever is about 1,000,257 to 1."

"Well, you can used all of your mathematics on my plan, but just you wait, sis. I'm going to make this the best spring break ever." Gumball declared. "That is my vow, and I always take my vow very seriously. And speaking of vows…" He caught something from his eye from about five feet from him. There was Penny. The young blue cat passes his siblings and went into her. He greeted "Hey, Penny."

Penny greeted back at him. "Hey, Gumball. I heard about what happened at the lounge."

"How did you know that?"

"My family and I were part of the audience."

"Where are your family now, Penny?"

"My dad is throwing up in the bathroom when he caught your dad eating like a wild animal." She answered. "No offensive."

"None taken."

Penny added "Also we overheard of Mr. Norbert threatening to kick you guys out of the resort."

"Not to worry, Penny. All we have to do is not get in trouble for the entire week." Gumball shrugged.

"Sure you won't get into trouble? Cause it will be suck if you will have to leave early."

"And why is that, Penny?"

Penny started to blush and tried to find the right words to say. Gumball notice the blush on her face and was amazed that she could be blushing. He thought he was the only one who started to blush, but now he was seeing his crush blushing right in front of his eyes. This was a beautiful moment for the two of them.

Gumball thought Maybe the best spring break ever has come early. This was my chance.

Right before he could say anything, a voice stopped the two love birds.

"Well, if it this a nice surprise! Gumball and Penny!"

Both of them knew who it was; they just didn't want to turn their heads to see who it is.

No. Not here. Not now.

Tobias was standing a few feet from them starting at both Gumball and Penny with a smug look on his face. He said "Yo, are you two deaf or stupid? Watterson? Yes. But what about Penny? I don't think so.

Gumball and Penny turn their heads around and face the no skilled jock. Gumball sighed "Hello, Tobias."

Penny asked in the same tone as her crush "What are you doing here, Tobias?"

Tobias answered "I'm here for Spring Break. What think you guys think why we're here?"

Both Gumball and Penny pause before replying in unison "We?"

Behind Tobias, Gumball and Penny saw familiar people entering the resort with their luggage. It was the students from Elmore Junior High. Everyone's luggages were bigger or smaller. They were either running around the resort or hitting over to the buffet while their parents check out a room. About seventy five percent of the students were hitting the buffet table, scaring the people once again. Gumball was surprise to see everyone here at the resort.

"Wow, everyone we know from school is here. I just hope Miss Simian or Principal Brown aren't here."

"Too late."

Gumball saw the two most horrible people on the face of the Earth, and one of them was the most horrible people on the edge of the universe. Miss Simian and Principal Brown were checking in the resort together and kissing each other. Gumball felt grossed out by that. Darwin and Anais were both seeing every students plus most of the faculty entering the resort. Then Darwin saw Rachel standing beside Tobias. Darwin went to her, so did Anais.

Darwin greeted first as he stopped beside Gumball and Penny "Hey, Rachel."

Rachel smiled "Hey, Darwin."

Anais said while looking all the scatter students "Man, is there a school convention here or something?"

"We can leave school from Elmore, but we can't leave Elmore from school." Gumball remarked.

"Yeah, everyone's families saved enough money for this day, not to mention the students, except for us rich kids like my family." Tobias bragged. "I'm surprised that you come here, Penny. I have never see you here before in the resort."

Penny answered "That's because this is the first time me and my family come here."

"Really?" The rich kid before looking at Gumball and his siblings before becoming surprise to see them here for spring break, even thought Tobias hate Gumball for liking Penny. "And what about you, Gumball? Why are you here? I thought your family couldn't afford anything nice."

The Watterson siblings felt anger within their veins. Tobias was the most obnoxious and spoiled rich kid in Elmore, right next to Masami. He hates his family and mock them for having less then his.

Gumball replied, holding in his anger "For your information, Tobias, my mom got a huge payment from her boss at working too much."

Tobias replied sarcastically "Ooo, that's nice. It'll be the only thing your family can afford on this trip since you and your family always go to the most ridiculous trips every spring break and summer."

"Hey! Our mom work very hard just as much as your family does, Tobias!" Anais spatted.

"Yeah, and your lame family always cost trouble in Elmore. It's no wonder your mom always gets angry at you and your lame dad for spending so much money like an idiot.

Gumball and his siblings all gasp at the horrible obnoxious bully in Elmore. The young blue cat warned as he push him slightly "You watch your mouth you say about our parents!"

Tobias glared as he push him back "Don't you push me, Gumball."

They keep pushing each other, increasing more force, until Gumball was on the ground with Tobias, wrestling at each other. Everyone at the resort stop and looked at the two kids battling on the ground. The students stopped what they were doing and went to them while chatting "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The two kids were now put away from each other by two guinea pigs security guards. Both Tobias and Gumball were struggling to get themselves off so they can resume killing each other. The manager arrive moments after the short fight had ended.

"All right! All right!" Mr. Norbert screamed as he passes to the crowd and glared at the two. "What is going on here?! Where are your parents?!" His answer arrive at the nick of time; Gumball's parents and Tobias' parents arrive to see what was happening. Mr. Norbert turn to both of the parents. "Are these your kids?"

Both of the parents nodded their heads; Mr. Norbert recognizes the Watterson family back at the lounge where Richard went on an eating havoc. He sees that more guests have arrive; all of them came with their with kids. The red pepper manager groaned "Great. Just what I need more kids."

The red pepper went on top of a desk and shouted "All right, listen up everyone who has a kid! New rule! If any one of your kids cause more trouble here at the resort, I'll have everyone who came in just now out of the resort and can never come back forever!"

"WHAT?!" Yelled everyone in the resort.

Gumball said in a shock "What?"

"That is all." Mr. Norbert finished. "No exception. Thank you and resume your day."

Everyone from the crowd resume their lives and walked away. The two guinea pigs return both Gumball and Tobias to their parents.

Mr. Norbert ordered to the parents with authority "Both of you control your kids or I'll have you throw out the minute you enter your rooms."

"Understood, sir. Come along, Rachel." Harold Wilson replied. The Wilson family left the scene, while Rachel follow her family right before she give a small wave to Darwin, who wave her back.

With the Wilson family left, Mr. Norbert turn his attention to the Watterson family before scowling "This is your second strike, Watterson. Either you control your kid or I'll have everyone throw out of the resort for good. Understood?"

The Wattersons nodded their head in response. With a scoff, Mr. Norbert left, follow by his two security guards.

Back at the hotel room where the Watterson were staying, Nicole scoffed at Gumball for lying to her of not getting into trouble.

Gumball spoke in his defense. "But if wasn't my fault, mom! Tobias was the one who started it!"

"Gumball, you should have think twice before doing something stupid as getting into a fight with Tobias. You got to be more careful, Gumball." Nicole continued.

"But what if-"

"No. You just have to. You just walk away from any trouble for an entire week. You understand?"

Gumball nodded "Yes, mom."

"Good." Nicole smiled as she left the room, where it was just Gumball, Darwin and Anais here.

Anais muttered "She's right, Gumball."

"What do you mean?" Gumball asked confusingly.

"You could have just walk away from Tobias if you have to."

"If I remember correctly, Tobias insulted our family." Gumball argued. "I had to do something."

"Look, just try to yourself under control for the entire week." Darwin advised. "I can't go back of going to another one boring attraction and staying at a crummy motel room. I need this vacation."

"I need this vacation too, Darwin, but-"

"Then just try calming yourself down, Gumball." Anais said again to get elder sibling. "Can you do that?"

Gumball sighed, nodding "All right."

"Good, me and Darwin are going to get some ice-cream at the buffet table. Lucky, dad didn't ate the dessert. You just sit here and think about what I say." Both Anais and Darwin went out of the room, leaving Gumball alone in the room. This wasn't turning out as part of his plan to make this the best spring break ever. He was here thirty minutes ago and now he had cause trouble in the hotel. Well, the first strike was dad's fault. Now his whole family has a second strike, one more and everything that Gumball plan will be destroyed for good and his chances with Penny will be ruined. All he had to do is just keep out of trouble for the entire week. He can do that, can he? I mean, Gumball never lasted even a day of keeping out of trouble and look what happen just now. He just have to make it till the week had ended.

The sun dims down for another day and out pops the moon underneath the beach. Gumball stood alone in the room, while his family was at the dinner lounge for dinner. He was surprise that they can let his dad in after what happened a while back. Gumball sat in his queen size bed. He didn't bother turning on the t.v since there was nothing on. He didn't bother practicing his ukulele since Penny wasn't coming not after seeing what happened between Gumball and Tobias. He wasn't sure her father wouldn't let her go with him. He got up from his bed and went to the window where he saw the moon and the beach together. Seeing this beautiful sight reminded Gumball of his conversation with Penny in the lobby. He also recalled of why Penny would be sad if he and his family were kick out of the resort and then she blush. She blush! Gumball couldn't believe it! His girl is worried that he'll leave the resort for good! He laughed for a while, until he caught his eye on something. He get one look at the stranger before frowning of who it was.

It was Tobias.

Only he wasn't alone. There was Banana Joe, Tina Rex, Jamie and Anton. There were running through the sand. Gumball knew that they must be plotting something.

If they asked me to keep out of trouble? Yeah, right! Gumball went out of the room and out of the hotel room, while muttering "This is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy."

Gumball followed the footprints of the sand led by Tobias and his friends. He then stopped to see that they lead into the place where they keep all the ice-cream sandwiches. The good kind. They don't allow anyone in there, not even the employers, only if they can be trusted. He resume running to the place, where he saw the metal door open wide, releasing a brief amount of frozen wind from it. Taking a peek inside, the blue cat saw Tobias and his friends stuffing ice-cream sandwiches inside three separate brown bags. They keep packing it all of them. Gumball step inside and clear his throat, turning their attention at the blue cat.

"Well, well, well." Tobias grinned, not fearing that he has been caught. "If it ain't Gumball Watterson. What you doing here, cat?"

Gumball glared "I saw you guys running from my window and I thought you guys were doing something illegal. I guess I got that one right. This place is off limits."

"Yeah? Says who, Detective Watterson?" Tobias said, making his friends laughed. Without a witness of seeing this, other than Gumball, they would sure be throw out of the resort along with everyone that came here the moment him and Tobias fight. He wanted to stop them, but remember the words that his family and Mr. Norbert had said of not getting into more trouble.

"Listen you guys, let's just put all the ice-cream sandwiches away and walked from this." Gumball begged. "Please I'm begging of you."

Banana Joe chuckled "Are you serious, dude? This is where they store the best ice-cream sandwiches in the world! You can't even get these in stores! That's the whole reason why we come here!"

"And that's also the reason of why you all are going to kick us all! Now put them all back!"

Tobias grab one ice-cream sandwich from the bag and walked to the blue cat as he was opening one. He then a huge bite from it and said with his mouth full. "Make...me."

Gumball felt his anger boiling up as Tobias was still taunting him by eating another bite of the snack. He wanted him to punch him. That's what he wants. Punch him and everything changes. But Gumball wasn't going to let that happen, even if this means making everyone he love and admire getting kick out of the resort . He wanted to walk away, but something in him happened. One minute he was standing there, the next thing he knew Tobias have lean onto the coil that connect the freezer to the giant frozen cylinder before breaking it, releasing an amount of breeze all over the room. Gumball rushed in to stop the coil, while Tobias and his gang left in a hurry, dropping the bag filled with frozen treats. Gumball was struggling to get it, but it was swarming like a snake. Eventually, he got it and place it back to its place. Gumball sighed in relieved, knowing that the situation was over. What he didn't know what that he accidentally leans on a lever down on the cylinder. The freezer began to shake violently and the room. Gumball didn't know what he was going to do; all he did was ran away from it, then…

*BOOM!*

The whole room exploded into an icy blast, sending it sky high and crashing it into the ocean. Gumball now stood the remains of what was left of the ice-cream storage. Not wanting to be caught, he ran away, but his arm was grab by an angry Mr. Norbert.

"How can a room filled with ice-cream sandwiches can blow up?!"

After catching Gumball on the site of the explosion, Mr. Norbert took him to the resort and into his office. It was like Principal Brown's office, but this one was more classy and filled with richness. Thank goodness he hasn't call Gumball's family or this would had turn out terrible for not just for him, but for everyone.

Mr. Norbert keep on screaming as his whole body was heating up like a real red pepper. The madder he gets, the more hotter he turns. Gumball reminded him of his mom's temper, but this one didn't compare to her.

"I'll asked you again, son. Why were you in the ice-cream storage where it is strictly off-limits for anyone to go in?! Because of this destruction, you have cause 1,000 dollars for the damages! What did you have to say for yourself!"

Gumball winced and shake his head "I don't know."

"You don't know? YOU DON'T KNOW?!" Mr. Norbert shouted as the top of his lungs, changing the color of his entire body into hot red. "Some of the witnesses saw you going into the storage at night!"

Gumball muttered under his voice "It was Tobias."

"What was that?!"

"Nothing, sir."

Mr. Norbert's whole body cool down to a mild flavor before saying "I'm afraid that you had cross the line this time. I'll have to call your parents."

Gumball paused as his eyes widen "Wait, what? No! You can't!"

Mr. Norbert reach in the phone that was next to him in his table and pounded a few numbers, but Gumball clicked on the receiver, while begging "No! Please, Mr. Norbert! Don't call my parents! I'll do anything! Anything! Just name it!"

The manager think about it for a minute and hanged up the phone. He began talking to the pleading blue cat "Alright, here's the deal. I won't call your family or kick everyone out if you do something from me."

"Anything."

Mr. Norbert revealed "To pay off the damages for the ice-cream storage, you will meet here tomorrow morning, where you will be getting a job to pay off the damages for the entire week. If you accept it, then I won't call your family."

Gumball think about it; he waited his whole life for this break after not working hard and getting into trouble. He just wanted to rest like everyone, but now he had to sacrifice his spring break to pay off the damages that Tobias and his friends had done. He promise his family that he won't get into anymore trouble. With a heavy heart, he sighed "All right, it's a deal."

"Good." Mr. Norbert said. "You will me meet at your new job at 9:00 A.M. in the morning and be there." He write down something on a paper and tear it off before giving it to Gumball. "Meet me at this place. If you're late for one second, then the deal is off."

"I'll try, sir."

"Then leave, Mr. Watterson."

Gumball then left the office and walked to his hotel room very slow. He couldn't believe this was happening. He have to sacrifice his entire vacation to work for the damages and give everyone he admire the best spring break ever. But now this wasn't the beginning of the best spring break ever; this was the beginning of the worst spring break ever.

So what did you guys think of it? Pretty sucks that Gumball have to work to pay off the damages, huh? Anyway, now you guys know the main problem of the story. I'll post the next chapter tomorrow. See you later. NiteOwl18 out.
