KABSVALLQNA ZHIAIQBSV ALSNJAMMA...
[Void. The episode starts with the gray TV static filling up the entire screen.]
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
[Silence. Nothing seems to be happening as ambience of The Void is muttering distantly.]
[But then suddenly...]
(KSSST!!) (KSSST!!) (Ktt...) (K-K-K-K) (KRRRRRRR!!!)
[We get brief flashes of what happened before this episode, which have never been shown on TV before. The screen flashes in and out from a scene where Gumball is on the side of a cliff, almost falling off, but then gets saved by a hidden person, concealed by a black, eerie square.]
Gumball: ~~R-R-R-ROB~~
[The screen abruptly goes black.]
[But then, the screen goes bright as pictures from Episodes of Season 1 all up until Season 6 are shown at a rapid speed, before it all reverses again to zero.]
Crescendo choir: ooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAA---
Welcome to The Amazing World of Gumball!
...
...
...
[Darkness. Again. It goes silent.]
(Blip! Blip! Blip!)
[Then out of nowhere, creation. The entire city of Elmore loads in onto the black palette.]
[After several codes of buildings and Elmore citizens gets inserted, everything goes back to normal.]
(Tweet!) (Tweet!)
[The silent ambience consists of birds chirping. The classic title fades in as the camera pans across Gumball's neighborhood, spelling out "The Amazing World of Gumball."]
S01E01: The DVD
[The camera stops at the Watterson's house. The titles disappears.]
Nicole: (From inside) Gumball, don't forget to take that DVD back today, or we'll get a fine!
[Inside the house, Nicole is folding laundry by the front door, while Gumball is sitting leisurely on the couch in his underwear, swapping through TV channels.]
Gumball: Pff, can't you do it? You're the one with the car...
Nicole: I wasn't the one who watched Alligators on a Train seventy-two times!
Gumball: Ah! But technically, you rented it with your money!
Nicole: (Annoyed) The money I have to go and earn to feed you kids!
[Nicole drops Richard's underwear into the basket.]
Gumball: (Smugly) The kids you decided to have!
[Her eyes widens from Gumball's arrogance.]
Nicole: Grrrgh!--
(CRASH!!)
[Infuriated, Nicole punches a hole in the door, startling Gumball.]
...
...
[But then, Gumball's pupils contract as he realizes something.]
Gumball: (Reminisces) Wait a minute... Haven't I experienced this before??
[He then makes a prolonged gasp, as some of the events from Season 1-6 flashes before his very eyes. We see when he turned into a man, when he kissed Penny and when he was being awkward with Hot Dog Guy, for example.]
Gumball: (Stunned) I remember everything...
Nicole: (Carries laundry basket) Oh, very kind of you, honey. And don't forget to put on some pants before you leave the house. Bye-bye.
[Nicole walks upstairs with the laundry.]
Gumball: What!? No!! I wasn't talking to you, I was talking about--
Darwin: AAAAAAHHHHH!!!
[Gumball gets cut off by Darwin screaming in panic from the kitchen.]
Gumball: Darwin?
[He sprints into the kitchen, seeing Darwin running around in circles, flailing his arms. The pizza and the DVD have been dropped on the floor.]
Darwin: (Alarm) AHH!! DA– FULIA AHUHUHUHUHU...!!
Gumball: (Confused) What's wrong?
[Darwin runs up to Gumball and grabs his face.]
Darwin: (Frightened) I accidentally used the DVD as a pizza-cutter!! We're gonna get in so much trouble when Ms. Mom finds out that we ruined it!!
[Gumball releases himself from his grip.]
Gumball: No we're not? I already know we're gonna get away with it!
Darwin: How? By facing the consequences of our actions and tell her?
Gumball: No! We're actually gonna get away with it! When we go to the movie store, we're gonna escape the payment of the DVD with Mom running along with us!
Darwin: (Suspiciously) How do you know that? Have you turned into some sort of fortune teller or something??
Gumball: Don't you see, dude? We've already experienced this before! We're supposed to be in the future right now, but we've gone through some sort of glitch in the Matrix!
[Darwin ponders.]
Darwin: You wanna know what I think about that? I think you're talking complete bogus!
[He scoffs and folds his arms, turning his back away from Gumball, grumpily.]
Gumball: (Beseech) C'mon, man!! You gotta believe me on this!
[Gumball pokes Darwin in the back of the head...]
(TSCHHHHH!!!)
[In turn, it makes him emit an electric shock onto Darwin. Darwin gets electrocuted, which proceeds to make his life flash before his very eyes; We see for example when he was in love with Gumball while in a wedding dress, when he kissed Carrie for the first time, and when he got dumped into the lake in "The Roots".]
[Darwin gasps, prolonged.]
Darwin: (Looks around) Where am I!? Why am I in the kitchen?? (Alarmed) Why am I not sleeping in my fish bowl dreaming about cotton candy and puppies!?!
Gumball: (Irritated) Relax dude, you're overreacting!!
(Slap!)
[Darwin slaps Gumball in the face.]
Darwin: OVERREACTING!?! I've just found out that everything has been reset, of course I'm gonna react like this!
[Gumball shines up, despite the slap.]
Gumball: (Realizes) Of course, a reset! That must be the only explanation as to why we're experiencing everything again!
Darwin: But how is this possible!? The universe can't just suddenly repeat itself for no reason!!
Gumball: (Sarcastically) Well, it just did. But you're right, there has to be an explanation as to why the world has suddenly decided to go back in time! Let's check around!
Investigating the room
[Scene cuts to the children's room upstairs. Gumball and Darwin enters, opening the door slowly, whereas Gumball is now wearing his pants.]
Darwin: (Walks in) Well on the bright side, at least our room looks the same.
[They make it up to the computer. Gumball climbs up on the chair.]
Gumball: Alright if we're gonna get a hold of ourselves, we should check which point in time we're in.
[He starts typing on the keyboard.]
Gumball: (While typing) "Which point in time are we in?"
Darwin: Shouldn't you ask what date it is? Before you know it, we're gonna be studying the Iron Age!
Gumball: (Smirks) My naive friend, when it comes to The Balance of Time, you always have to ask the more complex questions!
(Ding!)
[A jingle is heard from the computer. On the screen, Gumball sees a homeless Elmore citizen discovering fire.]
Gumball: What the–!? (Reads screen) "The Weirdo Era"?? Huh, whaddaya know...
Darwin: Let's just search what date it is.
Gumball: (Sighs, reluctant) Fine...
[He types it in on the keyboard. Another jingle is heard.]
Gumball: Ah! Today is the third of May: The most important day of the year!
Darwin: Why is it important?
Gumball: (Shrugs) I don't know, but apparently the Universe thought it was important, sending us back here.
[Gumball jumps off from the chair.]
Darwin: Maybe someone else knows why this day is so important? Surely we aren't the only ones who gained our memories back.
Gumball: (Thinks) Hmm... Maybe you're right, but who else would it be?
[Beat. Gumball and Darwin thinks. They gasp simultaneously.]
Gumball and Darwin: (Gasps) Anais!!
Interrogating Anais
[In the backyard, Anais is sitting on the grass, reading a book quietly while humming to herself. She has a glass of water sitting next to her.]
[In the background, Gumball and Darwin peeks over the fence from Mr. Robinson's backyard.]
Gumball: (Whispers) Alright, let's sneak up on her so we don't catch her by surprise!
[They jump over the fence and plummets into their own backyard. They start crawling towards Anais like caterpillars.]
[Anais continues reading, ignorantly.]
...
...
...
Anais: (Looks up from book) I can hear you guys, y'know?
[Only a few steps from her, Gumball and Darwin quickly stands up and dusts themselves off. Anais shuts the book and rotates in their direction.]
Gumball: Oh– um... Sorry sis, we didn't mean to disturb you.
Darwin: We just have a few questions for you, that's all!
Anais: (Raises eyebrow) Didn't mom just tell you to go deliver the DVD before school? Perhaps you should save the questions for later.
Gumball: (Apathetic) Meh, we're gonna get away with it anyways! The truth is that the world has been reset and– MMF!!
[Darwin covers Gumball's mouth with his fin.]
Darwin: (Laughs nervously) Ehehe! W–what he meant to ask was if there is something important with today's date!
Anais: "Today's date"? Well if you wanna know; today is monday, meaning that you two should be in school by now! (Annoyed) Now would you leave me alone?
Gumball: That's it?? C'mon, there's gotta be something else that's important! (He reveals the truth) The Universe has been reset by a year and we're trying to get a few clues, alright!?
Darwin: (Angrily) Hey!! Didn't you get that you weren't supposed to say that when I covered your mouth just a second ago??
Gumball: Oh. I thought you did that because my morning breath was rancid...
Anais: (Confused) What're you guys talking about?? Have you two gotten to the stash of sugar again...?
Gumball: What? No! C'mon Anais, you gotta have some memories of the future!
[Anais thinks.]
Anais: Actually, maybe I do have a memory from the future!
Darwin: (Excitedly) Really!? What is it??
Anais: (Calmly) Come closer and you'll find out.
[Gumball and Darwin approaches her face.]
Anais: Closer.
[They approach closer.]
Anais: Closer.
[They approach closer...]
(SPLASH!!)
[Without hesitation, Anais grabs her glass and splashes the water in their faces, dampening them.]
Anais: (Frowns) And that is for disturbing my peace!
[Anais grabs the book and glass and walks inside, grumpy. Gumball and Darwin remains frozen in shock.]
...
...
Gumball: (Breaks silence) Alright so Anais clearly doesn't remember anything... What else can we work with?
(Honk! Honk!)
[A bus horn is heard from the other side of the house.]
[Gumball and Darwin runs to the front yard and sees that the school bus is now parked outside their house.]
Gumball and Darwin: Hmmm...
[They share eye contact with each other with cheeky faces, gaining a new idea.]
On the Bus
[Camera cuts to inside the bus. The bus doors open and Gumball and Darwin enters. They look around; the entire bus is packed with students.]
Gumball: (To Darwin) Look around! Surely there's gotta be someone in here who still has their head intact!
Darwin: You wanna do the crawling again across the bus?
Gumball: Nah, let's be more stealthy than that. Follow my lead!
[Gumball squats down. He then proceeds to somersault across the bus. Darwin follows his lead, doing the same.]
[Everyone on the bus stares at them as they roll by, frantically trying to comprehend what on Earth they are looking at.]
Gumball: (Stops somersaulting) Okay, you take the people on the right, I'll take the ones on the left!
[Gumball and Darwin stands up and sprint-walks to the back of the bus.]
[Camera cuts to Penny, sitting alone and looking out the window. She is now back in her shell form, as this is taking place before she broke out of it.]
...
...
Gumball: Hup!!
[Gumball breaks the silence by jumping up on the seat next to her.]
Gumball: (Flirts) Well hello there, gorgeous! It's a fine day with you around! Mwah!
[He kisses Penny on the cheek.]
(SLAP!!)
[However, she reacts harshly to it and slaps Gumball in the face, scowling at him.]
Gumball: (Rubs cheek) Heh, looks like someone is hard to catch! (Inpects Penny) So um... It seem like you're going with the "shell-look" again, huh?
Penny: What do you mean?
Gumball: I'm pretty much used to you being different by now, but I can work with this!
Penny: (Confused) But I've had this shell on my entire life. You've always seen me like this.
[Gumball rambles everything at once.]
Gumball: Well actually, in the future I'm gonna leave a crack in it which in turn will make you break free and show your fairy form hiding under it!
Penny: (Anxiously) WHAT!?! How do you know about the real me!?
Gumball: B-because it happens about a year from now?
Penny: (Groans, distressed) Argh!! I knew that I couldn't keep the secret away forever!!
[Penny pushes Gumball aside and stands up.]
Penny: (Covers face ashamed) Don't look at me!! I'm a MONSTEEER!!!
[Penny runs away, crying. Rocky opens the bus doors for her and she escapes further down the street.]
...
...
[Beat. Gumball is left completely frozen over what just happened.]
Gumball: (Realized) Aaaand I just remembered that me and Penny haven't started dating, yet...
[Gumball facepalms to himself, embarrassed.]
[As the bus drives again, camera cuts to Carrie on the left side of the bus. She's floating above her seat, listening to music with her headphones.]
Carrie: Hm?
[Carrie lifts up her headphones from her ears and looks to her right. She sees Darwin sitting next to her, staring at her starry-eyed.]
Carrie: (Surprised) Oh um... Hi. Wh-what are you doing?
Darwin: (Blissfully) Oh nothing, I just realized how pretty you look today, that's all...
[He continues staring at Carrie.]
Carrie: Okay I'm sorry, but do I know you?
Darwin: (Nonchalant) Pshh! Don't be silly, you know exactly who I am, sugar pumpkin!
Carrie: (Flatly) No. Sorry, I have literally no idea who you are.
Darwin: (Dismayed) Wh-what? But you and I meet up all the time! I'm your boyfriend!!
Carrie: Oh wait, I think I know who you are... You're the one who hangs out with the blue kid, right?
[Heartbroken, Darwin makes a sad grimace. The camera zooms in on his face and a suspenseful violin plays.]
...
...
[But in real life, Darwin is making an ugly grimace, yelling out "Noooo!" quietly. Carrie gazes at him, bewildered.]
Carrie: (Awkwardly) I should probably switch to another seat... Bye, whoever you might be.
(Wa-dsh!!)
[Carrie teleports away. As she disappears, Darwin falls to his knees, anguished, and lets out a cry.]
Darwin: (Loudly) NNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
[Gumball walks up to his moment of despair. Darwin quietens.]
Gumball: What's going on?
[Darwin gets up to his feet and grabs Gumball by the shirt.]
Darwin: Oh, it's horrible!! Carrie doesn't love me, and it's all the Universe's fault!! UHUHUHU...!!
[He buries his face in Gumball's shirt and cries, muffled.]
Gumball: (Annoyed) Dude, we're back in time! Of course our girlfriends doesn't love us, they haven't started dating us, yet!
[Darwin stops weeping and goes back to being cheerful. His tears are imprinted on Gumball's shirt.]
Darwin: Oh yeah! So it's all good, then?
Gumball: Yeah, you just need to wait for a while until you both kiss in the schoolyard.
Darwin: (Relieved) Phew, that's a relief! ...
[Darwin realizes something again.]
Darwin: (Dramatically) But I can't wait for that long!! I need love just as much as a family dad in a marriage!!
[Darwin falls to his knees again and cries, burying his face in his fins.]
Gumball: (Bluntly) Sorry but you just gotta live with it, because that's what you've been set up for...
[Out the window, Gumball notices that they're right outside Elmore Junior High. The bus comes to a stop.]
Gumball: Great, we're at school! (To Darwin) C'mon, let's stay on track and deal with this later!
Darwin: (Sniffles, cheers up a bit) Okay.
[They dart away like bullets off the bus. Scene ends.]
Inside the School
[Inside, Darwin is walking in the hallway, but he seems to be alone.]
Darwin: (Halts, turns around) Dude, we're at school! You don't need to act stealthy anymore.
[Gumball comes into the picture. He is crawling on all four on the floor.]
Gumball: Sorry dude, it's pretty much a routine for me now!
[Darwin continues walking. Gumball stands up and tip-toes sneakily.]
...
Gumball: OUF!!
[He doesn't notice that Darwin has stopped again and bumps right into him. Darwin notices something in front of him.]
Darwin: Look, there's Tobias! He must be dumb enough to be spared his memory!
[Tobias is seen leaning against the lockers.]
Gumball: You know what? That makes sense, since Anais is smart and doesn't remember anything. Let's go ask!
[It cuts back to Tobias. He looks to his right and sees Gumball and Darwin copying his pose, also leaning.]
Tobias: Oh! Waddup, brothers! Are you also out here scouting ladies?
Gumball: Nope! In fact, we have some questions for you!
[Tobias gestures.]
Tobias: (Excitedly) Ap ap! Hold that thought! Let's talk about when you two are coming over to play on my Z-station in a few days!
Darwin: Wait, what??
Tobias: Yeah dude! Remember a week ago when you gave me twenty bucks so I could be your third bestfriend?
Gumball: (Exclaims quietly) Dagnabbit, I forgot about this memory!
Darwin: (Awkwardly) Well that's nice and all, but we don't need a third friend anymore. Enjoy your twenty bucks...
Tobias: What!? But you've already paid me, so now I need to return the favor!
[He nudges Darwin with his elbow.]
Tobias: (Cheerful) C'mon Darwin, I know you want to play video games with me!
Gumball: (Acts pleasant) I think I have a better idea, actually!
[Gumball walks up to Tobias. He opens a locker.]
Tobias: Hey, what the–!?
[He pushes Tobias into said locker angrily and slams the door shut, trapping him inside.]
Darwin: (Indignant) Gumball!! That wasn't very nice!
Gumball: So what? He's a lost cause anyways.
Darwin: (Stammers) Ba– um... (Shrugs) Eh, you're right about that.
[They walk away, leaving Tobias behind.]
[Further down the corridor, Darwin notices something else.]
Darwin: Wait, look!
[Camera quickly shows Bobert disguised as Gumball, grabbing some books out of his locker.]
Darwin: Wasn't this also the time when Bobert stole your life because he wanted to feel what it was like to be a real boy?
Gumball: (Glances at Bobert) Define "Real boy", because right now he looks like someone's failed art project...
Darwin: But perhaps he has an idea of what is going on? He is the robot afterall!
Bobert: (Robotic) I'm right here, just so you are aware of that.
Gumball and Darwin: AAAHH!!
[Gumball and Darwin gets startled by him now standing in-between them.]
Gumball: (Pants) Oh! Sorry, we didn't expect you to sneak up on us like that!
Bobert: Why were you referring to my old name behind my back?
Darwin: We were just wondering if you've experienced something weird lately, almost as if you traveled back in time or something?
Bobert: Negative. I am unable to answer that question, as I am now... (In Gumball's voice) "Gumball Watterson". (Normal voice) I am not required to take commands any longer.
[Gumball gives him a frightened look.]
Gumball: Y-yeah, sure thing Bobert!
[Gumball leans aside to Darwin.]
Gumball: (Whispers) I just remembered how insane he was back in the day. We should probably leave him alone with his new persona...
[Bobert suddenly transforms into his mecha-form, becoming three times larger than he was before. He points his blasters at Gumball and Darwin.]
Bobert: As a real boy now, I will not allow someone to call me: "Insane". (Sinister voice) Initiating self-defense protocol...
[He aims his lasers at them, pointing at their foreheads.]
Gumball: Well on the bright side, I remember that we're gonna win this battle at the end of the d–...
(((BOOOOOOMMMM!!!)))
[Cuts to outside the school. An explosion happens inside, in turn making Gumball and Darwin get flung out of the doors onto the asphalt.]
[Despite getting several burns, they stand up and casually dusts themselves off.]
Gumball: (Gives in) Alright I give up, I seriously cannot live like this again...
Darwin: So you finally agree that we need to find something that will make us go back to the present?
[Gumball ponders.]
Gumball: How about we use time travel?? (Refers to "The Countdown") We have used it before, so maybe we can use it again!
Darwin: But how are we gonna pull it off? Neither do we have the equipment or the ability to do so.
Gumball: (Warily) A better question is: Who's gonna pull it off? ... We need to find someone who has everything, and understands everything...
[They both think in silence. A few seconds later, they gasp in realization.]
Gumball and Darwin: (Simultaneously) ...The Awesome Store!!
The Awesome Store
[Next scene starts off outside the Elmore Mall Parking Lot building. Gumball and Darwin makes it up to the roll up doors.]
Darwin: I don't get it. Why would the Awesome Store be inside a parking lot?
Gumball: (Flatly) I'm pretty sure a spine-chilling van that sells illegal goods would choose the most remote spot possible away from cops.
Darwin: Meh. I can't argue against that.
[Gumball presses down a red button on the wall and the metal door rolls up.]
[Inside, the entire first floor is completely pitch-black, as the only source of light comes from outside. Gumball hesitates.]
Gumball: (Nervously) Erm... On second thoughts, how bad would it really be if we decided to stay?
Darwin: Well since we've already experienced everything before, it would probably be twice as boring and after a while we'd probably end up making the wrong decision, messing up reality and sending us to an inevitable doom that we brought upon ourselves.
Gumball: (Apathetic) I could probably live with that. I'll see you back at home!-- HUAW–!!
[Gumball tries to leave. But Darwin, tired of him, grabs his arm and drags him along, entering the lot.]
[Cutting inside, Gumball is first in lead. They move cautiously through the darkness while on their guards.]
Gumball: H-hello? Anyone there??
[Gumball and Darwin stops.]
...
...
[Suddenly, two glowing eyes pops up in-between them.]
Gumball and Darwin: AAAAHHH!!
[They let out a scream. The eyes reveals to be the ones of the Van Shopkeeper, sitting in the driver's seat.]
Van Shopkeeper: (Sinister) Ohh! Well isn't this a surprise: Gumball and Darwin Watterson! You two aren't supposed to be here until you buy that turtle!
Gumball: (Raises eyebrow) Wait, how do you know about the Evil Turtle!?
Darwin: And how do you know our names??
[The van beams up the area as the headlights turn on.]
Van Shopkeeper: (Dramatic) I know everything that was, and everything that is yet to come... I am what you might call: The All-seeing!
Gumball: Oh nice! So that means you're a time-traveler, right?
Van Shopkeeper: W-wait, what??
Gumball: Yeah since you just said that you can see into the past and the future, then that means you've been there before!
Van Shopkeeper: (Annoyed) No, that doesn't make me a time traveler. That makes me a fortune teller...
Gumball: (Disappointed) Oh. Well, do you have something that can make us time-travel?
Van Shopkeeper: (Sinister) I think I might know what you're looking for. Step inside!
[The side door slides open. Gumball and Darwin are about to enter, when suddenly cockroaches and rats starts crawling out of the van.]
[The vermin disappears. Gumball makes a disgusted face.]
Gumball: ...On second thoughts, I think we'll pass.
Van Shopkeeper: Very well.
[The Van Shopkeeper rolls down his window and reaches out his black, cloudy arm, holding a familiar remote.]
Van Shopkeeper (Continues): THIS, will probably arouse your interest!!
Gumball: What does that do?
Van Shopkeeper: (Mystically) Behold; The Universal Remote!! Holding this in the palm of your hands, and you will have the power to alter Reality as you please! Watch and learn...
[He points the remote at a nearby parked car and presses "Record", selecting it.]
(Click!)
[He then presses the "Guide" button and the car starts floating in the air. He starts levitating the car around, as it follows the remote's directions.]
((CRASH!!))
[The Van Shopkeeper guides the car into a pillar, wrecking it completely. The car's alarm starts wailing loudly.]
Darwin: (Greatly astonished) Woah, that's Amazing!! Can it go through time as well??
Van Shopkeeper: Fortunately for you, yes it does! ...Buuut it is not for sale.
Gumball: (Resentful) What!? Why not!?
Van Shopkeeper: (Worriedly) I had a terrible vision last night of someone in the future who's gonna try to steal it from me. If that happens, the world will go absolutely haywire! I need to protect it with my life in case that happens.
[Gumball gives him a blank stare.]
...
Gumball: (Unamused) You do realize that you wield the power of the Cosmos with that thing and could just erase him out of existence, right?
Van Shopkeeper: (Stammers in protest) I'm– Ba- um... Fair point, but I'm not a murderer! (Annoyed) Get out of my store!!
[Cuts to outside. The metal door rolls up and Gumball and Darwin exits the parking lot.]
Gumball: Well, that didn't go the way I expected... Wanna go for Plan B?
Darwin: What's Plan B?
Gumball: (Shakes head) I haven't thought that far yet. (Pensive) ...But I think I have another, less gruesome idea!
Later that night...
[Night. In the parking lot, the van is still parked with the headlights now turned off. The Van Shopkeeper is asleep, snoring loudly inside.]
[Darwin is casually walking up to the side door. He stops and turns around.]
Darwin: (Annoyed; Whispers) For the last time, there's no need to be sneaky!
[Gumball comes into the picture. He is now tip-toeing again, but this time in a cartoonish way.]
Gumball: Actually, this is one of those times where being stealthy makes a difference.
[Darwin rolls his eyes and sighs. He slides open the door.]
Gumball and Darwin: Whoa...
[They take a look inside. They feast their eyes upon all the mysterious wonders that the van has in store.]
Gumball: (Whispers loudly) How are we ever gonna find the remote?? It's like the Tomb of Ali-Baba in there!
Darwin: Let's just try to not touch anything.
[They step inside. They silently search around, walking by several items on display.]
[Darwin grabs a weird laser gun on a desk.]
Darwin: Why would someone ever need so many things?
[He pulls the trigger. The gun reveals to work as a shrinking ray, as it shrinks a water bottle also sitting on the desk.]
Darwin: This guy could conquer the world with this stuff!
[Cut to Gumball, inspecting a bookshelf.]
Gumball: Well you should be glad that he hasn't, already. (Excitedly) And look, I found the remote!
Darwin: Oh, nice! Let's get out of here bef–
(CRASH!)
[As Darwin turns to Gumball, he accidentally bumps into an ominous orb next to him on a pedestal, knocking it over. It shatters into pieces and releases what's contained inside: Glowing, white spirits that scatters across the room.]
Spirit anomaly 1: (Squeaky voice) We're finally free from our eternal imprisonment!!
Spirit anomaly 2: Now we can cause destruction across the WORLD!!!
Spirits: AHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!
[All the spirits starts fluttering everywhere, wreaking complete havoc.]
[Gumball and Darwin groups up in the middle, frightened as the spirits continues floating disorderly.]
(Crash!)
[One of the spirits collides into a vase, knocking it to the floor. The crash makes the Van Shopkeeper wake up.]
Van Shopkeeper: (Wakes up, startled) Huh– wha–!? Who's there!?!
[He notices Gumball and Darwin and glares.]
Van Shopkeeper: YOU TWO!!!
[They give him a nervous look.]
Van Shopkeeper: (Angrily) Didn't you get the hint when I told you NOT to bother me!?! Now you'll PAY WITH YOUR LIVES!!
[He extends his shadowy arms behind the curtains towards Gumball and Darwin.]
Darwin: (Anxious) Push the button. PUSH THE BUTTON!!!
(Click!)
[Gumball presses the "Fast Forward" button. Right before the shopkeeper can snatch them with his hands, they teleport out of reality.]
[Scene ends.]
The First Time Travel!
[Gumball and Darwin happens to be in some sort of "Time-spiral", as the scene starts off here. Events from Season 2 up until Season 6 flashes by.]
Darwin: Are you sure we've experienced all of this in a year??
Gumball: Time feels slower when you're twelve...
[It cuts to a sidewalk during daytime. Suddenly, the barrier breaks and they plunge to the pavement.]
Gumball and Darwin: OWF–!!
[They stand up and check around.]
Darwin: Did we make it?
Gumball: I think so. All of a sudden I feel more mature and grown-up.
Darwin: (Relieved) Phew! Thank goodness we made it back unharmed...
Gumball: (Happily) Yeah, see? That wasn't as bad as we thought it would be! Everything is finally back to norm–...
???: Hahaha! ...
[They hear nearby laughter, interrupting them.]
Gumball: Where's that laughter coming from?
[Gumball and Darwin walks up to a bush in front of them. They move some branches aside...]
Gumball: WHAT THE WHAT!!??
[They find out that the laughter was coming from Penny (Now in her Fairy form) and Tobias on a romantic picnic. They're sitting down on a chequered blanket with a picnic basket nearby.]
Tobias: And then the ant said: "What happened to my face!?" And then I replied with: That's not your face, that's your HEAD!!
[They laugh again together.]
Penny: (Sighs) You're so funny, Tobias...
Tobias: (Romantic) I'm only funny when I'm with you, sugar!
Penny: This spot was perfect for a romantic date...
[Penny and Tobias shares a kiss on the lips.]
Gumball: UH–!!
[In reaction, Gumball makes a disgusted face and freezes in shock. He then falls backwards and plunges to the ground.]
Gumball: (While lying down, weakly) I don't know what's worse: The fact that Penny dumped me or the fact that she is now dating Tobias...?
Darwin: (Shrugs, apathetic) Well, something is always bound to mess up when you adjust the Universe. I'm just happy that it hasn't affected me so far!
[Gumball gets up on his feet again, showing up next to Darwin.]
Gumball: I wouldn't be so sure about that. Look!
[Gumball points down the sidewalk. Camera pans over to Carrie who has now reunited as a couple with her ex-boyfriend Azrael. Together they're walking down the street holding hands, laughing.]
Carrie: (Smitten) Oh Azrael... I never realized how much you actually meant to me all these years.
Azrael: (Smirks) Well, I do have an advantage since we're both ghosts. You might call us: Non-soulmates!
Carrie: Hahahaha–
[They laugh together again.]
Azrael: (Sighs) It's funny because we don't have any souls...
[Camera pans back to Gumball and Darwin again.]
Darwin: UH–
[Darwin has his mouth agape, lost for words.]
[Gumball gets incensed, showing his muscles.]
Gumball: (Toughens up) Alright! I might be lonely now, but I am NOT gonna let some punk steal my bro's girlfriend, too!! HIYAAAA–...
[Gumball charges in Carrie's direction.]
Carrie: (To Azrael) ...And those zombies that were in 3D?--
Gumball: ...AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!
[He makes it up to Azrael and starts punching him in the stomach...]
Gumball: (Groans) Hah! GAH!! HAAWH!!
[...But all his punches goes right through him, since he's a ghost. Gumball grows tired after a few seconds.]
Gumball: (Exhausted) Tah... twah... gah...
[He gives up and catches his breath. Carrie and Azrael stares at him blankly.]
...
...
Carrie: So anyways, like I was saying about the zombies--...
[They walk/float past Gumball, ignoring his attempt to fight Azrael. Darwin strolls up to Gumball, still panting.]
Darwin: How did this happen?? We did everything like we were supposed to, right?
Gumball: (Pants) Yeah I don't remember that we altered Reality as far as I know...
[Gumball then realizes something.]
Gumball: (Suspiciously) Unless we did actually do something wrong, and we just don't know it... Quick, tell me a location that we weren't supposed to be in!!
[Darwin ponders.]
...
Darwin: The kitchen?
Gumball: No, further.
Darwin: The bedroom?
Gumball: No, further.
Darwin: The backyard?
Gumball: No, further.
Darwin: The school bus??
Gumball: Yes, the school bus!! We were supposed to skip school that day, but instead we questioned Penny and Carrie and made fools of ourselves, making them hate us!!
Darwin: (Determined) Let's go back and fix it!
(Click!)
[Gumball presses the "Rewind" button on the remote and they teleport out of existence again.]
On the Bus (Again...)
[They appear again back to when they were on the school bus.]
Gumball: Alright good, we're here! Now let's get off the bus before we accidentally interact with Penny and Carrie again.
Darwin: (Nervously) But how are we gonna do that?? The bus is moving!
Gumball: Follow my lead!
[Camera cuts outside...]
...
((CRASHH!!!))
...
...
[Gumball and Darwin proceeds to leap through the bus window, landing face-first onto the pavement.]
[They stand up, unscathed.]
Gumball: There! Now when we're skipping school, we can't do any harm!!
(Click!)
[Gumball presses the "Fast Forward" button on the remote. They disappear again.]
The Second Time Travel!
[Back in the future, the Barrier breaks and Gumball and Darwin teleports once again, to the side of the road. This time, however, they seem to be outside Elmore Junior High, as the background consists of the outside wall.]
Gumball: (Notices the school) Oh nice, we're at Elmore Junior High! That means it's time for school now, right?
[The camera zooms out, revealing that the entire school has collapsed into piles upon piles of debris, everywhere expect the piece of wall that was shown in frame.]
Darwin: By the looks of it, it seems like we're late to school by two months or so...
[Gumball's eyes widens checking out the scenery.]
Gumball: What the– What happened here!?!
Leslie: (Distant) Gumball and Darwin?? Is that you?
[Leslie is seen being next to them, a bit further away.]
Darwin: Leslie!!
[They run up to him.]
Gumball: (To Leslie, still startled) Leslie, what on Earth happened to the SCHOOL?!?
Leslie: What do you mean?
Gumball: (Hostile) What do you mean "What do you mean"!? Just look at it!!
Leslie: (Realizes) Ohh, right! (Rambles everything at once) Well, after you two stopped coming here for a year and wasn't able to destroy anything, the school became so successful that its budget went up in millions! Being as greedy as he was, Principal Brown stole all the money and fled the country, leaving the school to decay until it got demolished into the scenery that you see in front of you...
[Gumball and Darwin goes completely thunderstruck over his fast-talk.]
Gumball: Wait... We haven't been to school for a YEAR!?!
Leslie: (Shrugs, confused) Well you basically were, but you two thought the school was in the Pacific Ocean for some reason... You also thought your home was up in the mountains and that the mall was in Utah.
[Leslie walks past them, waving at them.]
Leslie: Anyways, our new school we've been assigned to is Richwood High. (Winks) Don't be late, this time!
[He walks away.]
...
Gumball: (To Darwin) How did we manage to think that our house was up in the summits!?
Darwin: Don't you see? That's how the Flow of Time works! When we jumped off from the bus, we traveled from a spot that we weren't present on back in the day!
Gumball: (Confused) So what should we do, then?
Darwin: (Confidently) We need to go back and calculate where we were at this exact minute. Press the remote again!
(Click!)
[Gumball presses the "Rewind" button. Once again, they disappear.]
Getting the hang of things...
[They teleport back to the past again. They appear again on the sidewalk where they landed after the fall.]
Darwin: (Inspective) So this must be where everything screwed up... What time is it?
[Gumball rolls up the sleeve on his shirt and checks the time on his watch.]
Gumball: ...3:25 PM?
Darwin: Alright, let's think... Where exactly were we at this time of the day a year ago?
[Gumball puts his hand on his chin, thinking.]
Gumball: Hmm... If I remember correctly, weren't we on the run from our mom when she found out about the bills?
[Scene fades to a flashback. It shows the scene from the episode "The DVD" when Gumball and Darwin got chased by Nicole.]
[Nicole is shown riding on the dog, crashing through several fences until she hits the brick wall.]
Darwin: (Talks over flashback) Oh yeaaah... And when she rode on that dog and broke her jaw? I remember that!
[Flashbacks ends. It fades back to them again.]
Gumball: So that must mean that we were downtown!
Darwin: (Alarmed) "Downtown"!? We're never gonna get there in the same minute as this one!!
Gumball: (Deadpan) Yeah, but we wouldn't be able to do it anyways. It's like a ten-minute-walk from here...
Darwin: So how exactly are we gonna get there before the timeflow changes again?
Gumball: Follow my lead!
[The school bus drives past them. It then makes an U-turn on the road and drives back, approaching Gumball and Darwin.]
...
...
((CRASHH!!!))
...
[Right as the bus is about to drive past them, they both leap through the window once again to catch a ride with it.]
[Scene ends.]
Downtown
[Gumball and Darwin are downtown, standing in front of a brick wall.]
...
Darwin: How can you be so sure that we were standing right here?
Gumball: (Apathetic) I dunno. We know it's downtown, so we could just pick any spot to stand on.
Darwin: We can't just pick any spot?? (Points left) We could be standing over there, (Points right) over there, or even right here, and a whole new different timeline could be created!
Gumball: (Folds arms) Okay, your paranoia about this whole thing is seriously starting to get on my nerves...
Darwin: (Angrily) Oh, I'm paranoid?? Well I know darn well you're gonna thank me when we end up in China before you know it!!--
(Smash...)
(Smash...)
[Out of nowhere, they hear distant crashing of someone, or something, breaking through several fences.]
(Smash!)
(Smash!)
[The object is getting nearer Gumball and Darwin, hurling towards them.]
(SMASH!!)
Cube dog: WOOF!! WOOF!! WOOF!!
[The person breaks through the final fence. It reveals to be Nicole riding on a dog.]
Gumball: AHH!!
[They both jump out the way right before she can charge at them. Nicole and the dog ends up crashing head-first right into the brick wall, leaving her unconscious.]
[Gumball and Darwin are quickly up on their feet again. They stare at their mom silently.]
...
Darwin: (Expressionless) Yeah you're right, this was definitely the spot.
[He snatches the remote from Gumball and is ready to press it.]
Gumball: WAIT!!
[Darwin freezes his arm.]
Darwin: (Sighs, miffed) What is it now?
Gumball: I- um... I uh... I need to go use the bathroom before we head back!
Darwin: (Annoyed) Are you kidding!? You could do that when we head back to the present!
[Gumball fakes that he's holding his urine, covering his crotch.]
Gumball: (Lying) Yeah, but it's like, really urgent! My bladder is about to explode...
Darwin: (Reluctant) Alright, but hurry up.
Gumball: Thanks!
[He's about to run off, but Darwin stops him.]
Darwin: WAIT!!
Gumball: (Halts; impatient) WHAT!?!
Darwin: (Blushes, embarrassed) I uh... I just needed to tell you that I also have to go powder my nose...
Gumball: You didn't have to stop me to say that, but okay...
[They both run off in opposite directions.]
...
[Cuts to a short while later, still at the same scene. A bird has landed on Nicole's head to peck on her head.]
[Gumball and Darwin comes into frame as they race-walk back to the spot they stood on.]
Darwin: (Questionably) Wait, isn't us going to the bathroom also gonna rearrange the timeline?
Gumball: (Lowers eyebrows) You know what, I honestly don't care anymore.
(Click!)
[Gumball presses the "Fast Forward" button on the remote and they teleport away.]
The Third Time Travel!
[Present. The barrier breaks and Gumball and Darwin comes into the picture again. The environment is familiar to when they first went to the future, as they're standing next to the school, which is back to normal again.]
[They brace themselves for something extreme to happen, but then Gumball opens his eyes.]
Gumball: (Looks around) Huh. Looks like everything's back to normal.
Darwin: Yeah, the school's still intact and I don't think Carrie and Penny are seeing other people... (Happily) We did it!!
Gumball: High-five!
[They share a high-five, satisfied.]
Darwin: (To Gumball, disgusted) ...Why was your hand so sweaty?
Gumball: All this running back-and-forward has made me exhausted, dude.
???: Ehehehe...
[Suddenly they hear another distant laugher.]
Gumball: What the wh–!!
[Penny, back in her fairy form once again, now exits the school by the doors holding hands with Bobert, disguised as Gumball.]
Penny: (Attracted) Oh, Gumball... You've never shown me this side of yourself. You're so much funnier to be with all of a sudden.
Bobert: (In Gumball's voice) Well I'm not only a clown, Penny; I am the entire circus!
Penny: Ahahaha! ...
[Penny and Bobert take a right on the sidewalk and walk in the other direction, opposite from them. Gumball and Darwin has their eyes widened and their jaws dropped from what they just witnessed.]
[Darwin then glares angrily at Gumball.]
Darwin: (Scowls) What, did you do??
[Gumball rubs the back of his head.]
Gumball: (Sheepishly) Erm... Well, you remember about a year ago when I said that I was gonna go to the bathroom?
[A quick flashback starts, showing what actually happened when Gumball "went to the bathroom". He is located outside "Laser Video", talking to Gumball-disguised Bobert.]
Gumball: Look, I know that you want to be a real boy badly, but my past self really don't want to have any trouble with you right now, so can't you just wait a year or so until you decide to freak out again?
Bobert: Affirmative, (Coding) Adding "Delay" to "REAL BOY" folder...
[Flashback ends. Gumball twiddles his fingers.]
Gumball: So yeah, I basically told him to replace me a few months later...
Darwin: (Exclaims) WHAT!?! Haven't you learned ANYTHING from before!?
???: Ehahahaha!
[They hear another laugh, further down the sidewalk. Carrie is seen floating next to an exact copy of Darwin, as they're on a promenade together.]
Carrie: (Impressed) Wow, Darwin! I never realized how tough you are... I mean, five scary movies in a week? That's a new record!
Fake Darwin: (Nonchalant) Well I don't think it's me, you're just bad at picking good movies!
Carrie: (Smiles) Oh, stop it!
[She punches "Darwin" in the shoulder. They both share a giggle together.]
[Camera pans back to Gumball and Darwin, staring at them.]
Darwin: Uh...
Gumball: (Makes a smug face) Well, I guess you also have a good explanation as to why you've stirred everything up?
Darwin: (Sweats nervously) Um... well...
[Another quick flashback occurs. Darwin is in the bathroom stalls, confronting Clayton.]
Darwin: (Urgently) ...So what I need you to do, is that if I would get stuck in a timeloop when I time travel, I need you to take my place. That means you'll also have to date Carrie in the process! Got it!?
Clayton: Taking over the life of someone else while also getting a girlfriend as a bonus?? (Excitedly) Count me in, bro!
[Flashback ends. Darwin winces.]
Darwin: (Embarrassed) So yeah, I basically have been replaced by Clayton, now...
[Gumball outbursts.]
Gumball: ARE YOU KIDDING M–!? (Thinks, calms down) Actually since we both messed up, we're pretty much even, now.
[Camera cuts to Bobert and Penny.]
Bobert: (In Gumball's voice) So how about you and I go to the park on a romantic picnic?
Penny: That sounds pretty sweet!—
(Click!)
[Without warning, Penny gets struck with a ray from the remote. She ends up getting "Paused", freezing completely in place.]
[Camera cuts abruptly over to Carrie and "Darwin".]
Carrie: So I guess you're up for another scary movie at my place, then?
Fake Darwin: (Jokingly) I guess so, but only if I don't fall asleep again!
(Click!)
[Carrie also gets "paused" with a ray from the remote, freezing in place. Bobert and Clayton both gazes at their "girlfriends" in bewilderment.]
[Gumball and Darwin are facing their replacements while having their backs against each other.]
Gumball: (To Bobert) Your reign of terror has come to an end, Bobert!! Now go back home and stop copying me!
Darwin: (To Clayton) And that goes the same to you, Clayton! The deal is off!
Bobert: (Normal voice) Negative. I will not follow instructions, as I am now living a satisfying life.
Fake Darwin: (In normal voice) I agree with Bobert! I can finally live my life the way I intended!
Gumball: (Sarcastically) Yeah, but you can still do that if you just shape-shift into someone else...
(Fyooomm...)
[Bobert rockets past Gumball and Darwin with his boosters, almost knocking them over from the wind. He lands next to Clayton, who has morphed back to his normal form.]
Bobert: (Sinister) We will not be required to follow your rules any longer. We are the real Gumball and Darwin, and the clones will be eliminated.
Gumball: (Disgruntled) Just stop this nonsense, already! Give us our lives back!!
Clayton: Don't tell us what to do! Bobert, let's show them what we got!
(Tsch, tshwww, tbrrrt...)
[Bobert and Clayton starts merging themselves together, as Clayton starts wrapping his stretchy body around Bobert, who proceeds to transform into his mecha-form. Before Gumball and Darwin knows it, they've combined their powers into a "Super Cyborg", with four wielding cannons all aiming rockets at them.]
...
...
Gumball: (To Darwin) Told you that we should've just stayed in the past...
Darwin: RUUUNNN!!!
[They dash away, running disorderly as they get several rockets fired at them, blowing up the street. Gumball and Darwin gets separated from each other.]
Darwin: Gumball!! Pass me the remote!
Gumball: (Ignorantly) Why do you need the remote in a situation like this for!?!
Darwin: (Exasperated) Are you DAFT!? That remote is our ticket out of h– AAH!!
[Darwin gets interrupted by a rocket exloding near him. He and Gumball dashes behind a fire hydrant and hides.]
Gumball: Alright, we probably need some major stunt to defeat them! Any ideas?
Darwin: (Impatient) Yeah like I was trying to say, that remote is what's gonna save--
Gumball: (Interrupts) Wait, I got a better idea! We'll come back for your idea later!
Darwin: But–
[He ignores Darwin and leaps over the fire hydrant. Darwin murmurs.]
Gumball: Hngh!! Grgh!!
[Gumball starts twisting the outlet of the hydrant, struggling to do so.]
[Bobert's surveillance system notices Gumball to his left. It wails.]
Female OS Voice: ENEMY DETECTED. ENEMY DETECTED.
[He charges up his cannons at Gumball. Gumball continues twisting.]
Gumball: GRRRG!! Come... on!!
[The outlet finally loosens. A heavy stream of water jets out of the fire hydrant towards Clayton and Bobert.]
[As Bobert gets struck with water, his system goes haywire, electrocuting him. As a result, he shuts off, with his screen-eye turning black.]
Gumball: WOHOO!!!
Darwin: YEAH!!!
Gumball: IN YOUR FACE!!
[Gumball does a quick victory dance.]
Clayton: (Quietly) You haven't won THAT easily!
((TSCWWW!!))
[As Gumball and Darwin are celebrating their "victory", Clayton takes the chance to morph into a pair of jumper cables, attaching himself to Bobert. He emits an electric shock into him, making Bobert wake up to life again.]
[Cutting back to them again, Gumball and Darwin are now swaying their arms side-to-side. Gumball is facing away from Bobert.]
Gumball: (Chants) ~We did it! We did it! We did it! ...~
Darwin: (Notices something behind Gumball) Uhm... Dude?
...
Gumball: (Stops dancing) ...What?
Darwin: (Nervously) I think we celebrated too early...
...
...
[Gumball turns around. He sees that Bobert is now inches from him, staring down at him with a red, glowing eye.]
Darwin: DUCK!!
[Bobert tries to swing his arm at him, but he manages to duck right on time. He misses Gumball and instead, strikes into the fire hydrant.]
(((Tschhh!!!)))
Gumball and Darwin: AAAAHHHH!!!
[The fire hydrant explodes, creating a water-shockwave that makes Gumball and Darwin fling up in the air.]
[They impact right into the brick wall of the school. Gumball also drops the remote, which glides across, landing in the middle of the road.]
Gumball: (Injured) Uggghhh...
Darwin: Okay, is it my turn to finally say my idea??
Gumball: I've got nothing to lose. Go ahead...
Darwin: Let's use the remote to–...
Gumball: (Interrupts) Wait, why didn't I think of this!? The remote can control literally everything!! Why can't we just use that to defeat them??
...
[Beat.]
...
Darwin: (Glares) That is literally what I've been trying to explain TWO times now!!
Gumball: (Hostile) Hey!! Don't take credit for the ideas that I come up with!!
[Darwin groans once again and sighs, defeated over his brother's stupidity.]
Darwin: Wait... Where exactly is the remote?
[He notices the remote lying down on the asphalt, right in front of Bobert.]
[Bobert takes heavy steps towards them, with Clayton now morphed into two added cannons.]
Clayton: (Smiling evily) Time to face your end, doppelgangers!!
Gumball: We're doomed.
[The missiles charges up. The brothers braces for impact, hugging each other. But then...]
...
(Click!)
[As Bobert takes another step, he tramples right onto the remote, which is pointed towards Elmore Junior High. His foot accidentally presses down the "Guide" button.]
(((Rumble)))
[Suddenly, the school's entire infratructure gets lifted up in the air by the remote. In turn, it levitates at great force, hurling right into Bobert and Clayton.]
(CRASH!) (CRASH!) (CRASH!) ...
[All the walls, classrooms and corridors passes right through them, before the school eventually falls to the ground, leaving it completely destroyed at the other side of Elmore.]
[Bobert is left completely damaged with dents and a cracked glass on his eye-screen.]
(Click!)
[He falls flat on the ground. As a domino-effect, his head impacts into the remote, mashing its buttons again.]
[This time, he presses down the "Power ON" button. In the direction the remote's pointed, some cars further down the street turns on.]
((Screeech!!))
[The cars starts driving, resulting in them charging right into Bobert and Clayton at a massive rate of speed. As they pass by, Bobert is left completely dismantled, but however manages to remain powered on.]
...
[Where they are sitting, Gumball and Darwin are left in great surprise over the scenery they just witnessed.]
Darwin: (Shoulder shrugs) Well I guess the Universe decided to take care of everything itself...
[Gumball lifts himself up from the grass and dashes up to the remote. He snatches it, then faces Bobert one last time.]
Gumball: (To Bobert and Clayton) Game over, guys!! It's time to end what we started!
[He is about to press the "Reset" button, but then Bobert speaks.]
Bobert: No, please. You made me in your image, we're two of a kind. Think of the things we can do together, Gumba–...
Gumball: (Unamused) You've already tried to guilt-trip me with that before. I'm not falling for it...
(Click!)
[He presses down the "Reset" button.]
Bobert and Clayton: NNNOOOOOOOO—!!
[And so, the entire world resets, still in present time. The school levitates back to where it once stood and Bobert and Clayton disappears out of the picture. Penny and Carrie doesn't seem to be affected by the reset, as they're still "Paused" in time.]
[Everything goes back to normal. With their recent memory being deleted, Bobert and Clayton are walking on the other side of the street, whereas Bobert isn't disguised as Gumball anymore.]
Bobert and Clayton: (Greets simultaneously) Hi, Gumball!
Gumball: Hey, dudes!
Darwin: (Turns to Gumball) So what do you wanna do now?
Gumball: (Stares at remote) We should probably return this to the Van shopkeeper before he starts haunting us...
Darwin: (Realizes) Hold on, wait!! There's one last thing we need to do!
[He grabs the remote from Gumball and runs away. He runs up to Carrie, as the camera cuts to her.]
(Click!)
[Darwin unpauses Carrie.]
Carrie: (Unfrozen) ...Don't worry, this scary movie will be so extreme, you wish you had an extra pair of diapers with you!
Darwin: (Nervously) Ehehe, on second thoughts... How about we skip that for another day? I'm not in the mood right now.
Carrie: (Smirks) Ah! So you do agree that you're still a chicken, eh?
Darwin: Yeah you're right about that, I am still a wimp... See ya!
[Darwin questionably walks away from her.]
Carrie: (Left confused) Erm... bye?
(Click!)
[Cutting over to Penny, she also gets unpaused right as Gumball runs up to her.]
Penny: (Unfrozen) ...I'll go home and get the picnic basket ready!
Gumball: Well actually, I'm not a little kid anymore, so I'm gonna have to decline our picnic.
Penny: (Raises eyebrow) ...But that was your suggestion literally five seconds ago.
Gumball: Well I changed my mind. Just go home, now, and we'll talk later!
Penny: (Aggressive) Argh!! I can't believe you sometimes!!
[Bad-tempered and grumpy, Penny storms away from her disappointing boyfriend.]
Gumball: (Unconcerned) Eh, she'll get over it.
[Camera changes to Darwin, strolling down the sidewalk. Gumball runs up to him and follows.]
Gumball: (Relaxed) Ahh... Finally, everything's back to normal!
Darwin: Oh yeah! I was meaning to ask, did you ever figure out why we were sent back to the Third of May?
Gumball: Nah, but it was probably nothing! It was probably just a random date that the Universe decided to send us to!
Darwin: (Shrugs) Yeah, that seems reasonable enough.
[The screen cuts further away from them as they continue their promenade.]
Darwin: (Distant) So what do you wanna do tomorrow?
Gumball: (Distant) To celebrate our return, maybe we could host a sleepover with Penny and Carrie or something?
Darwin: (Distant) That sounds like fun!
[They walk until they're out of frame. Scene ends.]
The Big Reveal...
[...As the final scene, it fades into Gumball's and Darwin's bedroom. The camera ominously zooms in on the computer screen, which has been turned on.]
[Elmore Plus has been booted up on the screen. In the search bar, someone has typed: "When did The Amazing World of Gumball first air?"]
[The search result under it reveals everything. It reveals what the date Gumball and Darwin was sent back to was all about. The text says: "The first episode of Gumball aired on May 3rd, 2011..."]
[Episode ends...]
