Penny was taking her time to make herself look better. Nicole was waiting impatiently outside the room. It was Friday afternoon, the Christmas dance. Gumball was quite formal; like every boy that he will see. He was wearing a white tuxedo with a red bow tie.

"Penny, hurry up! Darwin has to be early 'cause he's pianist!" Nicole called from the door.

"I'm almost finished," Penny called back.

Penny burst the door open and ran downstairs. Gumball looked at her sparkly white dress. The two walked carefully over the lawn, into the car. Nicole's emotion is kind of neutral. She's still angry at them from yesterday but happy that they had gotten over it. She drove the car to the front of the school.

"Good luck!" Nicole called from the car.

Gumball and Penny walked down the corridors, into the hall, which has tables set out. The piano was out at the left side of the hall. Darwin and Carrie was there discussing things about piano. Gumball sat down at the table nearest to the piano. Carrie was playing Jingle Bells while Darwin was studying the piano book. Penny had her elbow length mittens on her arms and a scarf around her neck. She wasn't that immune to the cold anymore. Every ten minutes a table gets filled. Tobias and Masami kept distance from each other. The two seemed to have been friends. Very close friends.

"So there must be a difference to typhoons and hurricanes," Gumball said.

Penny nodded.

"So they rotate the way the world does you see them at their hemisphere's pole," Penny said. "But Masami, she could turn to either?"

"I dunno," Gumball replied.

As if she read their minds, she flew down to them. She wasn't there to insult Penny, she was seeking help.

"Penny, I-I-I'm sorry," Masami apologised sincerely. "I wish I could undo all of the stuff that I did. I'm spoilt and-and stupid. I-I'm sorry."

"What do you want me to do?" Penny grinned. "You came here for a reason."

"Tobias thought that I liked Alan, which I used to but, there was nobody else. He was with you," Masami explained the situation. "Can you find a way to get him back to me?"

"I've got to confess that I don't like him," Penny said.

"Why?" Masami asked.

"He likes me. I'm starting to get sick of it," Penny replied. "I've got a plan."

Masami neared Penny and she whispers to her. Masami nodded, agreeing to the plan.

"Come with me," Masami directed.

Penny followed Masami to Tobias' table. Penny was there with a smile.

"Hello, Tobias," Penny greeted the colourful boy with a sexy tone.

"Hello-" Tobias got lightly slapped by Penny and Tobias closed his eyes in pain. Penny did a thumbs up and Masami floated beside Tobias.

"Penny!" Masami said, with a wink. "Come with me, Tobias, my love."

Masami quickly floated near Penny.

"Thanks!" Masami thanked Penny.

Penny nodded as Masami went with Tobias to her table. Molly walked beside the two.

"Masami, what did Penny do?" Molly asked.

"She helped me get us two back together. All the stuff I told about her are rumours. Please be friends with her," Masami pleaded. "It was all my fault - I'm the white freak after all."

"Aw, Masami," Molly said. "It's alright. I'll tell the others that they are rumours."

Masami smiled as Molly left. Number 5, from the team, goes up the stage. He held a microphone. Everybody shushed as they noticed him.

"We are so happy to see all of our sports teams at second place at the national sports ladder," Number 5 said. "The basketball team forfeited because too many players were injured. I, myself and me told the facilitator that we forfeit. Any rumour about anybody else telling to forfeit is now put down. Thank you. You may all continue."

The buzz continued. Penny went over to Gumball and smiled.

"Wow, everything is slowly going back to normal," Penny grinned.

And then all of the SRCs from every class and their partners lined up at the centre path of the hall. Penny shrugged and walked there. Gumball walked up next to Penny and shrugged. The two put on grins and walked down the aisle. They started dancing on the centre of the hall.

Rachel was SRC for Room 8, Jamie was SRC for Room 9, Dog was SRC for room 7 and Penny was SRC for room 6. All the others are really unknown for Penny. Darwin started playing Für Elise. When the crescendo happened, all of the graduates joined. Penny and Gumball danced together happily. When the music piece, they did the move that no other partners did. They did the move that made them nearly kiss. They quickly stood up and bowed. Gumball escorted Penny as the others separated and quickly got back to their tables.

Penny hoped that she'd be Fitzgerald again. She had gotten so close to the scene that she still can't piece up. Maybe she was missing something. Maybe she forgotten something. This something may have a key role. Before she finds out this something, she'll have to enjoy the time she has now. Living a luxurious life, that's something Penny does almost everyday. All she ever wanted, in her hands.

"Hi, Gumball," Penny said dreamily.

"Uh, you saw me this morning, five hours ago, 1 hour ago and a minute ago," Gumball said, confused.

"Uh, that darn incest law," Penny complained. "I wish that I was Fitzgerald again then, I could marry you legally."

"You're already thinking about that!?" Gumball said, weirded by Penny's thoughts.

"Duh," Penny said. "I'm always this close to you since I came. Why do you think I would think about you?"

"Oh yeah," Gumball remembered the science show Anais watched. "You remember stuff by seeing something related to it."

"Gumball, this may sound kind off weird but, I'm desperately in love with you," Penny admitted. "But I can't 'love' you when you are in the same family as I am. The only time I would think I would be a Watterson is when I marry you-not getting adopted."

Gumball nodded. As soon as he did, gun shots were heard. It was Sal. He was there for Penny. Gumball and Penny knew that.

"Penny, fast! Come with me!" Gumball leaded.

Penny ran to Gumball to escape Sal. His gunshots can be heard far away. Tears were coming out of her eyes. She heard screams from the hall. Sal came out of the hall and chased the two. They got chased out of the school to the Fitzgerald's residence. Penny tripped over at the backyard lawn. Gumball stopped and waited for her. Sal got there and pointed the gun at her and smiled.

"Asta lavista, Penny Fitzgerald," Sal Left Thumb said as he cocked his gun.

"Gumball!" Penny screamed, letting streams of tears run down her cheeks.

Gumball sprinted to Sal and tries pulling the gun out of his hand. As Gumball did so, Sal pulled the trigger. Gumball looked at Penny and smiled.

"Good bye, sis," Gumball said as he fell to the ground.

Sal left the crime scene, cackling while Penny kneeled beside Gumball, crying. The dark of the night that extinguished the light - the only light that will guide her. There lies her elder brother, on the ground, quiet.
