"Sis!" He yells. Anais and Cierra freeze immediately. 'Gumball?!' They thought.

"Gumball! People are coming! We need to go!" Anais pleads, but Gumball stands his ground. Cierra tries blasting Gumball, but Anais stops her. "We don't need violence," she states. Cierra stops the charge and outs down her arms. The squeaking sound of feet echo throughout the halls.

Cierra charges her arms. "It's our only choice!" She yells. Cierra hurls the ghost ball at Gumball, which throws him back a good ten feet. He gets up, glaring at the two.

"Why don't you want us to stop this?" Anais shouts. She and Cierra run towards Gumball. Cierra launches another few energy balls at Gumball. Gumball dodge all except for one, where he's thrown back. Cierra advances with Anais, who spots the orange kid and his gang coming.

"They're coming!" Cierra exclaims. Gumball makes a wild dive to tackle Cierra, but she's a ghost, and Gumball lands on his face on the other side. The orange kid approaches with amazing speed. Anais and Cierra pick up the pace, avoiding all the people. Finally, they're trapped at the end of a hallway.

Cierra holds up her finger at Anais and teleports away. "What?! Are you flaking out on me?!" Anais screams at the air. The gang closes their distance and slowly walks towards her.

"Finally! Time to get all of this anger out of my system!" He bellows.

"HELP!" Anais shrieks. Cierra comes back with a crystal. "WHERE WERE YOU?!" Anais scolds.

"Don't worry! I know exactly what to do!" Cierra holds the crystal and chants some spells. A howling portal opens up near them.

"What is this?!" Anais shouts over the loud gusts. Cierrs jumps in, ignoring Anais' question. The gang and Gumball follow her. "No time I guess," she says to herself, and throws herself into the opening. A white flash appears, even with her eyes closed.


She gets up, dizzy and drowsy from the sudden energy intake the portal took. Cierra picks her up. "Anais! Let's go!" Cierra says. Anais opens her eyes. 'Where am I?' she thinks. She sees Cierra, urging Anais to run. Anais turns around to see the portal close just as Gumball and the orange kid's gang get up, dizzy like her. "You'll get used to it. Let's go!" they both rush on the sidewalk. Anais takes time to check her surroundings.

It was Elmore, but everything, along with everyone, looked a little different. "Where are we?" Anais manages to say between breaths. Cierra looks back and smiles. "We went back a long ways time-wise. We're at the time when bobert decided to lash out on Gumball after Bobert begins stealing his identity," she explains.

"But how did you know?" Anais wonders.

"My sister told me. She seems to know a lot of everything around here," she answers. Anais could already see the lasers from Bobert shooting out from a small area: her backyard. The two reach the Watterson household and hear the commotion. "Here they come!" they both see Gumball and the gang furiously approaching them.

"But why are we here in the first place?" Anais questions. Cierra floats through the fence and waits for Anais to finish.

"So we can kill past Gumball. That way, this Gumball would have never existed and neither would the approaching gaNG THAT'S COMING THIS WAY!" they run behind the shed as the orange cat bursts down the fence.

"So how will we kill Gumball?" Anais whispers, shuddering at the sound of the sentence.

"Easy. We just have to change something small so that the whole event changes and a new alternate future comes. Let's just uhh..." Cierra looks around and spots Bobert walking towards Gumball with his arms outstretched. Past Darwin was passed out on the ground in the Robinson's backyard with a shovel, and Gumball was in front of the shed door, surrendering to Bobert.

Gumball trips and puts down his past self. "Huh?" he says, getting up.

"Gumball?" the two versions say simultaneously. "When did you get here? Stop copying me! Why do you look different?" they poke each other while Bobert nears past Gumball.

"Good! They're distracted! Now kill Gumball!" Bobert reaches Gumball and pounds him with his arms. His body lies motionless, the cranial shock leaving him brain dead immediately. They stand in silence until their bodies felt weightless.

"Umm, is this supposed to happen?" Anais wonders as she began to feel dizzy and lightheaded as well. Cierra could feel it too.

"Time paradox! When we killed Past Gumball, it kills the Present Gumball! We wouldn't be here if Present Gumball didn't exist and start the mess back in the present, and so we would never be here!" Cierra explains. It took a while for Anais to understand what she just heard.

Another bright flash blinds Anais, and she wakes up back in the hallway.


She sees Cierra next to her. Anais gets up by herself, but dizzy like last time. "Well, on second thought, that actually helped," Cierra remarks. Anais focuses her eyes on her, leaning against a locker door to steady herself. Gumball was getting up as well, disoriented like Anais.

"What do you mean?" Anais panics, whirling around to see if the orange kid and his gang were still around.

"Well, they're gone. By the way, his name is Flash, except he wasn't wearing his usual attire today," Cierra explains. "He's gone because he stayed behind. Apparently he and his gang didn't come with us." Gumball got up and stumbled off to the side, ignoring and forgetting about Anais and the ghost floating near her.

Anais and Cierra watch as Gumball shyly walks up to Carrie, who was getting something from her locker. They were conversing, each blushing like the deep red their lockers were painted with. Cierra stuck out her tongue disgust. "Bleaugh," she looks at Anais. "I hate it when they do that. Come on, let's get ourselves out of here."


Phew! Finally! Another chapter of The Fiction out! Now if you didn't see my Author's Note in my other story The Crossover, you probably don't know I've been on a hiatus lately. This is because I've been hit with a severe wave of writer's block, and I'm not really sure what to write about. I should be able to pick things up now for my stories. Gotta work on The Band, though.

Thanks anyways!
