Assalamualaikum, and what's up everybody! I changed my username from FDM to Fitroz777 just because it matches my Youtube channel. Other than that, let's get goin'. Chapter 29!


Chapter 29: Snow Day Part II

Everyone went off to Joyful Burger during the snowy day. On the way, they found Carrie walking/floating towards them.

Gumball: Hey, Carrie. Why didn't you come to school today?

Carrie: I felt the breeze so I was worried I might catch a cold. I think it's one of those "ghost puberty" things ghosts get at a certain age.

Amber: You're going through it already?

Carrie: Seems so.

Gumball: By the way, we're gonna hang out at Joyful Burger. You wanna come.

Carrie: Sure, but first I need to by a scarf real quick. This breeze is really freezing.

Gumball: Mind if I follow you?

Just when everyone heard this, they felt like they needed some privacy, so..

Cato: Hey, you two, we're gonna go ahead first. Take all the time you need.

They all walked off without turning back.

Carrie: It looks like you don't have a choice. Let's go.

Gumball: Okay.


(Elmore Super Market)

Carrie and Gumball were checking out the winter department at the Elmore Super Market. They were selling scarves, winter jackets, and a lot more.

Carrie: How about this, does it look good?

Gumball: Green's not really your type.

Carrie: Then what do you suggest?

Gumball: I think black.

Carrie was touched by his words.

Carrie: It's because you think I'm an emo freak isn't it, just like Darwin? (remembering the lyrics Darwin sang to Carrie in "The Words")

Gumball: Wha- no, no, no, no. It's because... because..

Carrie: Because of what?

Gumball: It's because I think you look cute in black. It's one of the reasons I actually like you. It matches your eyes.

Carrie: I'm a ghost, of course black matches my eyes.

Gumball: Exactly, it's why I like you.

Carrie: You like me?

Gumball: No.

Gumball stood closer, holding both of her.. um, hands?

Gumball: I love you.

And they ended up in a tight hug again. They wanted to kiss but they thought best not in public.

Carrie: I knew you were gonna say that.

Gumball: What?

Carrie: Nothing.

Gumball: Hehe, okay c'mon. Let's pay for this scarf.

Carrie: Wait, since we're here. Mind if we go buy a shirt first?

Gumball: For who?

Carrie: For me dummy.

Gumball: But why?

Carrie: Girl problems.

Gumball: Gimme one good reason why we should actually buy you a shirt.

Carrie: Cuz I can wear clothes now. And I wanna hide, this before it starts growing.

Carrie told as she gestured her chest area.

Gumball: Okay, okay fine.


(10 minutes of shirt hunting later)

Larry: That'll be $12.99. (A/N: Malaysia currency and US currency are different, so I have no idea how much does a shirt and a scarf regularly cost)

Carrie: Um.. Gumball, you got like $3.00 I could borrow.

Gumball: Sure, I think I have them. Here.

Carrie: Thanks.

Larry: Thank you. Please come again.

Gumball: Lookin' good, cutie.

Carrie blushed when Gumball said that.

Carrie: Shut up!

Gumball: Why? To embarrassed?

Carrie: Well, yeah.

Gumball: Don't worry, there's no paparazzi here.

But then, they heard something broke down somewhere near them with a thud.

Gumball: What was that?

Carrie: Probably nothing good. C'mon.

They ran off and headed to Joyful Burger.


(Joyful Burger)

Gumball: Hey, Carrie. Mind if I ask you something?

Carrie: Yeah?

Gumball: Out of all the shirts we found, why do you pick a shirt that says Adidas?

Carrie: Cuz, most of my shoes are Adidas brands.

Gumball: Why do you have shoes again?

Carrie: I don't know, something tells me that I'm gonna need it.

When they made it to Joyful Burger, they found out that the others aren't there anymore. But actually, they were all coming from behind them.

Darwin: Hey, guys!

Gumball: Where did you guys go?

Dante: We decided to wait for you guys somewhere else.

Carrie: Where?

Everybody: Uh...


What actually happened was...

Lexy: Awww, they're having a sweet moment.

Dante: You actually told Carrie she's an emo freak?

Darwin: Well, on one hand, I felt bad, but on the other, it was true.

Ivan: I think I'd say the same.

Darwin: Look who's talking.

Ivan: I'm not an emo freak!

Lexy: Hey, guys! Stop fighting! Were hiding behind clothes right now.

Ivan accidentally leaned backwards and everyone fell out of the clothing railing thing (the thing that holds the clothes you see in a shirt store) and it all fell down. That was what the thud sound was.


(Back to the present)

Carrie: Oh man, I'm full.

Gumball: Good thing you don't have to borrow my body ever again to eat.

Carrie: You should be happy I did.

Gumball: Cuz that was when you started liking me, isn't it?

Carrie: How did you know?

Gumball: It was a bit obvious.

Dante: So, what should we do now? It's only 3.

Darwin: Why not we go to the lake?

Lexy: For what? Ice skating?

Darwin: Bingo!

Cato: Didn't Jake say something about Kelsey teaching him how to ice skate today?

Amber: I think he did.

Gumball: Does any of us knows how to ice skate?

Darwin: We used to ice skate, remember?

Gumball: And I said I hated it. (Remembering back to when Gumball said he hated figure skating in "The Gi")

Darwin: I can always help him out.

Lexy: While the rest of us build a snowman.

Carrie: Sure.

Gumball: Or we have a snowball fight.

Dante: I'm down.

Ivan: You're on.

Cato: I'm cool with it. (Haha, winter pun)

Amber: Alright.

Darwin: Okay, let's go then.


(Frozen Lake)

Everyone went to the lake and saw lots of people ice skating on what used to be a place for fishing. They saw Kelsey trying to teach Jake how to keep his balance while ice skating.

Gumball: Hey, guys!

Jake: Oh, hey. What are you guys doin' here?

Lexy: We decided to hang around here for awhile. Also, Darwin wanted to help you with the ice skating thing if you need it.

Kelsey: Great, the more help the better.

Jake: What does that suppose to mean?

Darwin: C'mon, let's get going.

Cato: We should start building forts and get this game started before it's sundown.


(5 minutes later)

Everyone had fun playing snowball fights and luckily no one was injured. Jake, however, is progressively getting the hang of ice skating.

Kelsey: Wow, you're a natural. You should think of joining the ice hockey team.

Jake: Yeah, if only we had one.

Darwin: C'mon, let's try skating a few laps.

The others saw Jake skating with Darwin and Kelsey and cheered him on.

Gumball: Woooh! Go Jake!

Cato: That's the way!

Ivan: Keep it going, Jake.

Not long after, Darwin already gave out and decided to take a rest at the side of the frozen lake. A few moments after, Jake and Kelsey also got winded.

Kelsey: That was a good run. We should ice skate some more some time.

Jake: Yeah.

But then, there was the sound of ice cracking. Jake noticed the ice underneath Kelsey is about to break.

Jake: Uh.. Kelsey.

Kelsey: I know.

With Kelsey looking down, afraid, Jake noticed a big branch was sitting right next to him. Then, he came up with a plan.

Jake: Hey, Kelsey. We've played your game, how's about we play my game this time?

Kelsey: Are you crazy? At a time like this?

Jake: Don't worry, you'll be fine. Let's play hopscotch. See. 1... 2... 3...

Jake counted as he stepped further from Kelsey and nearer to the branch. Jake grabbed the branch and held it near Kelsey.

Jake: Now it's your turn. 1...

Kelsey tried to move but she was too scared because every move she makes, the ice cracks even more.

Jake: 2... 3!

Jake swung the tree branch at Kelsey and literally tossed her to the side of the lake while Jake was brought to where she was.

Kelsey: Wow! It worked!

Jake: Haha! I knew it would!

They laughed for awhile, but it didn't last. As they were laughing, Jake forgot that the ice is still cracking and it gave away, causing Jake to plunge into the cold freezing water.

Kelsey: JAKE!

Everyone took notice and stopped their snowball fight. They ran to where Jake fell.


(Kelsey's room)

Everyone gathered at Kelsey's room after saving Jake. Jake was lying on the bed, still shivering. His clothes was taken by Mr. Springer (AKA Phillip Springer) to dry them up while he gave him another shirt. While everyone gathered, Kelsey's mom, Nora Springer was kind enough to make hot chocolate for everyone.

Phillip: So, what happened again?

Gumball: Jake actually sacrificed himself to save Kelsey from falling into the lake.

Phillip: Well, looks like he really cares about you, huh?

Kelsey: Dad!

Phillip: Haha! I'm just kidding. I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything.

Phillip left the room.

Amber: You were really scared of dropping into the ice earlier. At least until you went in to save Jake.

Kelsey: It's a lot better than Cato's plan.

Cato: I still think that we could've saved him if I had a fishing rod.

Gumball: He won't be grabbing it, dude.

Darwin: So, what's gonna happen?

Kelsey: Well, right now Jake's going through hypothermia, but a few moments under heat would bring him back to normal state.

Ivan: You sure know a lot about ice and stuff.

Kelsey: Hey! Don't touch my stuff, Ivan!

Ivan: Okay, sorry.

Dante: Oh, well. Guess we should go.

Gumball: Alright. Let's go.

Kelsey: Bye! See you at school tomorrow!

Everyone: Bye!

They went downstairs and thanked Mr. and Mrs. Springer for helping Jake and giving them hot chocolate. Then they were off home.


And that's the end of the chapter! Hope you bros and sis's like it. Fav and follow if you did. And I'll see you guys in the next chapter. Assalamualaikum and FIST BUMP!


Note:

- I decided to put in some GumballxCarrie in this chapter, seeing that I haven't been doing so for the past chapters.

- Notice from Nomad36: The part from where they went to the frozen lake onwards is based on Chapter 15 of The Outsider, and it is not how it went down in the real story. This is merely like my version of the part. There's a whole different way of how it went on The Outsider, so go check it out.
