One evening Gumball and Darwin were playing video games. Nicole and Richard were out for the evening, so it was Bridget's first night on the job since Nicole interviewed her. She did not seem too weirded out by the fact Darwin was in love with her, but Gumball and Anais were. "I can't believe you haven't got over your crush on Bridget yet," Gumball told Darwin.
"Yo!" Darwin told Gumball. "It ain't my fault that Bridget's a hottie!" Darwin then heard footsteps. "Here she comes! Act natural!" he told his friend.
Soon Anais ran into the living room with Bridget walking behind her. "Hi, Anais!" Gumball smiled.
"Hi, Bridgie!" Darwin said, his eyes shaped like hearts.
"Oh my God!" Gumball said with a pale green face.
Bridget shook her head in disbelief, but she ignored him and said, "I brought Anais down here to say goodnight."
Anais walked up to Gumball. Gumball picked her up, and she said, "Goodnight, Gumball. I love you!" Then she kissed Gumball on the forehead. Gumball let her down.
"Aww!" Bridget smiled. She loved little kids.
Anais walked to Darwin and said, "Goodnight, Darwin." Then she patted Darwin on the knees.
"Yo!" Darwin said to his little sister. "Aren't you missing something?"
"Oh yeah!" Anais smiled. "This!" With that, Anais smacked Darwin on the knee.
"Owie!" Darwin cried. "Bridgie, Anais hit me, and I think I have a boo-boo!"
"Dear Lord, take me away!" Gumball said, looking up.
"Darwin, don't be so dramatic," the young ferret told Darwin. "If you were four years old like Anais, I'd kiss your knee to make it better, but I know you're ten, so I'm not."
"Darwin, Anais smacked you and didn't tell you she loved you because of your obsession with Bridget," Gumball told Darwin.
"That is exactly correct," Anais told Darwin.
"Forget about those two, sweetie," Bridget said, picking the young bunny up. "It's bedtime." Then she left the two kids alone.
"Gumball," Darwin said to Gumball. "I feel hurt on the inside."
"Why?" Gumball asked. "Because Anais loves me more than you?"
"Yeah," Darwin said sadly. "I feel stupid about this crush thing."
"It's okay, Darwin," Gumball told his best friend. "Remember when I had a crazy crush on Penny, and I was too scared to let it out? What I did was kiss her in the play, but broke her shell, but then I told her to break out of it, and now we're BF and GF!"
"Yeah, but Bridget's not a peanut like Penny was!" Darwin told Gumball. "She's a ferret."
"Then get over this obsession, will you!" Gumball argued.
"Can we please change the subject?" Darwin asked.
"Alright," Gumball inhaled. "I got an idea."
"I'm not shaving Bridget's fur off to get her to love me," Darwin told Gumball.
"No!" Gumball barked. "I kinda smell a competition."
"A competition?" Darwin asked.
"Yeah," Gumball said to Darwin. "The competition is called Who Does Anais Love More? Gumball or Darwin?"
"What do we have to do?" Darwin asked. He was fascinated by this competition.
"All we have to do is do great things for Anais for one week, and by the end of the week, we'll ask who her favorite is!" Gumball smiled.
"Oh, that's a great idea!" Darwin cheered. "Don't come crying to me when you lose, Gumball!"
"I think you're gonna lose, but other than that, it is on!" Gumball said, spit shaking with Darwin.
The next morning, Anais was sound asleep in bed, until Gumball shook her to wake her up. "Good morning, Anais," he said.
"Good morning," Anais said, waking up and getting out of the top bunk of the bunk bed. She then said to Gumball, "Not to sound nosey or anything, but what's the occasion?"
"Can't a 14 year old boy wake his 5 year old little sister in a nicer way than…" Gumball then began to firmly shake Anais and yelled, "WAKE UP!"
"AAH!" Anais shrieked. "Alright! You win! Stop shaking me!"
Gumball then stopped shaking his little sister and said, "Sorry. Come on! I made you breakfast!"
With that, Gumball and Anais went downstairs, and they saw a big plate with 6 chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream on them. "You made me this?" Anais asked, rushing up to the stack.
"Yes… I mean… no! I mean…" Gumball was lost for words, so he yelled, "DARWIN!"
Darwin rushed in with a plate of French toast, and said, "Yes. Can I help you?"
"What did you do with my scrambled eggs?" Gumball asked.
"I threw them away," Darwin smiled. "I made Anais a yummier breakfast!"
"God dammit, Darwin!" Gumball whined.
"You made me perfectly good scrambled eggs and let Darwin throw them away?" Anais asked.
"Yeah," Gumball sighed. "Look! It's a long story. Please note we might be like this all week."
"Well, I don't care," Anais smiled. "These pancakes are yummy!" She then noticed the plate of French toast in Darwin's fin. "You made me French toast too?" she suddenly asked. "Oh Darwin, you shouldn't have!"
"Yes," Gumball glared. "He really shouldn't have." He was giving Darwin a glassy look.
"Why are you giving me that look?" Darwin asked.
"Darwin, may I speak to you in private?" Gumball asked.
Gumball escorted Darwin out the door and they were in the dining room. "Whatever it is that you wanna talk about, I just wanna say, I'm really sorry for throwing your scrambled eggs away," Darwin said to Gumball.
"Well why did you?" Gumball asked.
"Because I wanted to win the competition!" Darwin whined. "I don't want Anais to love you more than me only because of my obsession with Bridget!"
"Look!" Gumball said. "You've gotta get over your obsession with Bridget! She's way too old for you!"
"I know," Darwin sighed. "I know. But I really wanna win!"
"Okay, then here's a recommendation," Gumball said.
"What?" Darwin asked.
"Stop obsessing over Bridget!" Gumball protested.
"Okay!" Darwin whined.
"Now let's go back into the kitchen and eat some food before Anais hogs it all," Gumball said to Darwin.
With that, the boys walked into the kitchen. Darwin said, "Did you save any food for us?"
"Yep," Anais smiled. "I saved 4 pancakes and 4 pieces of French toast. Two of everything for each of you." With that, Anais walked out the door.
Later during lunchtime, Anais was at dance class while Gumball was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for Anais for when she comes back. As soon as Gumball was done, Darwin walked into the house with Joyful Burger boxes. "Darwin," Gumball said to Darwin.
"Yeah," Darwin giggled.
"Where did you get those boxes from?" Gumball asked.
"Joyful Burger!" Darwin cheered. "It's our lunch for when Anais gets back from dance class."
"I thought I told you I was making Anais a PB and J for lunch," Gumball told Darwin.
"Oh yeah," Darwin said. "I forgot about that."
Darwin then put the sandwich inside a plastic bag, smashed it, cut the bottom right edge off with a pair of scissors, and squirted the mushed up sandwich all over Gumball. Gumball wiped the mushed up sandwich off and said, "God damn you!"
Before Darwin could say a word to Gumball, the two heard the door open. It was Bridget, bringing Anais back from dance class. Anais was hopping around excitedly, while Bridget went up to the two boys and said, "Did you make Anais lunch?"
"Darwin did," Gumball sighed.
Darwin then went to the kitchen, grabbed a bell, rang it, and said, "Anais, time for lunch! I got Joyful Burger!"
"Joyful Burger?" Anais gasped with excitement. She then went up to the boxes, grabbed the one with her name on it, opened it, and said, "Thank you, Darwin! You're the best big brother ever!"
"Aww!" Bridget smiled. Like Nicole said, Bridget was gonna adore the five year old bunny.
During night time, Gumball and Darwin were watching a movie until Bridget walked in and said, "You have all your time with me! I just tucked Anais into bed." She then sat in between Gumball and Darwin and said, "What are you watching?"
"We don't know," Gumball told the young ferret.
"Then why are you watching it?" Bridget asked.
"There's nothing else on TV," Darwin said to Bridget.
"Oh," said Bridget.
"Yeah," Gumball responded.
The next morning, Darwin did exactly what Gumball did. He lightly shook Anais to wake her up. Anais opened her eyes, saw Darwin, and said, "What?"
"Rise and shine, Anais!" Darwin smiled. "I made breakfast again today."
"Yay!" Anais cheered, getting out of bed. "I loved the pancakes and French toast you made yesterday!"
When Darwin and Anais went downstairs, Darwin saw a huge triple chocolate cake with a bunch of whipped cream on it, and he was shocked. That was not the breakfast he made for Anais. "Oh my God!" he said under his breath.
"You made this?" Anais asked, drooling all over the floor.
"No!" Darwin said. "I… GUMBALL!"
With that, Gumball came in with a bowl of 5 scooped chocolate ice cream. "Yeah?" he said.
"Did you throw my waffles away?" Darwin asked. "The ones I set up for Anais."
"Yes I did," Gumball smiled.
"Why?" Darwin asked.
"Because it was very similar to the pancakes and French toast we had yesterday," Gumball claimed. "Plus, I wanna win the competition."
"It doesn't matter if you win or not!" Darwin argued. "We all know I'm gonna win."
"Okay, from now on, we'll play this competition in a fair way," Gumball said. "Deal?"
"Deal," Darwin said, spit shaking Gumball's hand.
Gumball kneeled to his five year old sister and said, "Anais, sweetie, would you rather have the breakfast I made for you this morning, or would you rather have the breakfast Darwin made yesterday?"
"I liked them both the same, but yours is way yummier than Darwin's breakfast," Anais told Gumball.
Gumball whispered to Darwin, "I'm winning."
"Fuck you!" Darwin yelled.
Later that night, Gumball and Darwin were playing a game, until Bridget came down and said, "I just tucked Anais in." She then turned off Gumball and Darwin's video game. The two boys gave her a glare. "Guys, I'll turn it back on," Bridget told the two boys. "Right now, we need to talk."
"What about?" Gumball asked.
"How come you guys have been acting so weird lately?" Bridget asked.
"Define weird," Darwin said to Bridget.
"You guys sound like you're competing against each other," Bridget told them.
"Give us an example," Gumball told her.
"Gumball, yesterday, you made Anais a PB and J while Darwin was getting Joyful Burger," Bridget said to Gumball. "Darwin, you smashed Gumball's PB and J sandwich when you arrived with the food. And I hear that you guys have been competing on making Anais breakfast. What's going on?"
"Okay, we'll tell you," Darwin told Bridget. "But you can't tell Anais. We're competing against each other to see who Anais loves more."
"Aww," Bridget told the two boys. "Why would you wanna do that?"
"Because the other night, when you brought Anais down here to say goodnight, she told Gumball she loved him and not me only because I have an ugly crush on you," Darwin explained.
"Alright," Bridget said in disbelief. "You kids are sick!"
"I feel pretty fine," Gumball said, being his dumb self.
"I'm talking about the reason why you're competing to see who Anais's favorite is," Bridget yelled. "I know Darwin's crush on me is gross, but I don't think Anais hates him at all."
"What are you trying to say?" Darwin asked.
Bridget then kneeled down to the two boys and said, "I think Anais loves you both the same. Rather Darwin has a crush on me or not. I know she loves you both the same. And if you don't believe me, you can always ask her tomorrow."
"I think we'll ask her tomorrow just to make sure," Gumball smiled.
Bridget then hugged Gumball and Darwin, and they hugged her back. Bridget said, "Thank you kids. I'm so proud of you. You'll see that I'll be right."
With that, the three broke their hug when Nicole and Richard walked in. "Hello, Bridget," Nicole smiled. "Are you playing a game with Gumball and Darwin?"
"No," Bridget answered. "We're just talking."
"Alright kids," Richard said. "It's time to say goodbye to Bridget."
"Bye, Bridget," Gumball and Darwin smiled as Bridget was walking to the door.
Bridget smiled, waved at the two kids, and said, "Bye, kids. See you tomorrow."
The next morning, Anais just woke up, but this time, Gumball and Darwin were there to wake her up for a delicious breakfast. "Hmm," Anais said. "I must've got up early." Then she looked at the time. It was 10:00, so she said, "10:00? How is it so late?" She went downstairs, and Bridget was on Richard's chair watching TV. "Hi Bridget," she said.
"Hello, Anais," Bridget said. "Are you looking for Gumball and Darwin?"
"Yeah," Anais said. "I kinda am."
"They're outside playing some type of game they made up," Bridget said. "I don't know."
"Alright," Anais said. "I'm assuming they're playing Dodge or Dare. I'll go see."
When Anais walked out, Bridget said, "Thank you, sweetie."
When Anais was outside, she saw Gumball and Darwin, so she said, "Gumball. Darwin."
"Hi, Anais," Gumball and Darwin smiled.
"Hey Gumball," Darwin said. "Let's say that thing that Bridget told us to say."
"Great idea," Gumball said. "Let's go inside and do it. I want Bridget to hear it."
"What?" Anais asked, confused.
"Just come inside with us," Darwin told his little sister.
In the living room, Bridget was still watching TV, when the three kids walked back in. "Hi kids," Bridget smiled. "Done playing outside?"
"We're going back out here in a minute," Gumball said. "Right now, we have a question to ask Anais, and we want you to hear it."
Bridget smiled and payed attention. "Anais, who do you like more?" Darwin asked. "Me, or Gumball?"
"Is that why you guys were competing in front of me?" Anais asked.
"Yeah," Gumball and Darwin said together.
"Why does it have to be a competition?" Anais asked. "I think you guys are great older siblings. Sure, I do think Darwin's crush on Bridget is gross, but I like you both the same because you both make a great team. Isn't that what really matters?"
Bridget kneeled to Gumball and Darwin and said, "I think she makes a great point."
"I think she does," Gumball agreed.
"And Darwin, I do know you'll get over your crush on Bridget someday," Anais smiled.
"Honestly, I think this whole competition thing cured me," Darwin smiled. "I don't have a crazy crush on Bridget anymore."
Bridget then hugged Darwin and said, "Good."
THE END!
