This chapters gonna be a doozy mah friends

"I made an Elmore Plus account for the sole purpose of bullying you" Penny says, quoting one of Mindy's insults from the conversation. "Surely she knows how stupid that makes her sound! That's way more degrading to her than it is to him. Please tell me Darwin isn't actually getting hurt by any of this."

Gumball shook his head. "He've always been really sensitive, especially since this whole bullying thing. He'd believe anything she tell him."

Penny sighed sympathetically. "Of course, I remember one of the sticky notes I found in her room saying, and I quote, a sensitive emotional bitch who believes everything I tell them."

"Wow, insulting Darwin before even knowing who he is."

"I feel pretty bad for him."

"Yeah? Well imagine how I feel. My little brother and my best friend that I've known and loved my entire life suddenly taken away from me. I have to comfort him and remind him every single day that it's going to get better, but it's getting worse. I think it's about time I make it better."

"About time we make it better. I want in. I want to show that girl that she can no longer just push people around and get away with it."

"Really? That's great! But how can we? I mean, she has no insecurities, weaknesses, she doesn't care about anything..."

"Wait, yes she does! Gumball, she cares about her reputation! Last time she had a bad rep she had to leave town."

"But how are we supposed to use that against her? She has the best reputation in school."

"What if everyone were to find out she was a bully?"

Gumball caught her drift and smiled maliciously.

"Next time I catch her bullying Darwin I'll record it on my phone and show it to everyone, if that's ok with him of course."

"I'll check in with him, I'll text you if he agrees."

"Ok."

The couple hugged and walked back to their homes. Penny stood by her phone waiting for a text from Gumball. Gumball came home to find his brother hugging the blanket he gave him and crying. Gumball comforted Darwin and told him about their plan. Darwin was nervous at first, but Gumball promised that if it didn't work they could move schools. Darwin reluctantly agreed and Gumball texted Penny. Their plan was in motion.

The next day, as usual, Mindy began to lash out on Darwin for hardly anything, making it look like the biggest betrayal ever to everyone else. This time it was in the middle of the hallway. Mindy screamed so loudly that she attracted a crowd, Penny just so happening to be in that crowd. Eventually, Darwin couldn't handle it anymore, tears started to form into his eyes, his vision was getting blurry. He was crying. Oh shit.

Mindy had her mouth cupped with both of her hands. Her face was red. It was clear she was trying to seem sympathetic to the crowd while also hiding her laughter.

After a few seconds, Darwin booked it to the bathroom, still sobbing. He could've sworn he heard giggling from the crowd. Mindy soon followed him. To the crowd, it seemed like she was going to comfort him, but Penny knew she was really going to make fun of him. She followed them both ready to record whatever goes down.

"Nice performance out there, crybaby. You just couldn't help yourself, could you?"

"G-go away! Please..."

"Nah, I think I'll stick around. The only thing redder than you're face is...is... actually, that's the reddest thing I've ever seen. You should be proud of yourself, I think you broke a record."

"Shut up." Darwin mumbles while looking away from her, hiding his face.

Mindy laughs. "And the best part is, our audience found it funny. They like it when you cry." Mindy walks up to him and puts her hand on his head.

"Face it, crybaby, nobody cares about you. And that includes your blue cat friend."

Darwin flinches and his eyes expand. She. Did. Not.

Penny covered her mouth in shock. Penny had know Mindy her entire life but not even she would've guessed that she'd go there. Darwin was still letting the insult sink in, he was completely frozen. Tears formed in his eyes she began to walk away when he snapped.

"You're lying!" He pointed at her. "Gumball cares about me! He loves me! I know he does!" Darwin says yelling and sobbing.

"You know it? How? Never once has he even tried to stop me from bullying you." She says in her typical cocky tone.

"Yes he has! He told me he- he yelled at you behind the school when you lied to everyone about not having any money to make me look bad!"

"He told you that? Because I don't remember it at all."

Darwin backed down and fell to his knees. He was completely taken aback. "N-no..." he sobbed harder, yet silently.

"Oh, Darwin, when will you stop being so naive?" She cutely giggles as she leaves the bathroom with Darwin sobbing furiously into the floor.

"It's not like you belong in his family anyways" Mindy comments quietly before exiting the room. Penny crossed her fingers that Darwin didn't hear it. He did. Penny ends the recording and pretends like she didn't see a thing.

"What are you looking at?" Her cousin asks.

"N-nothing." She says.

"Good." Mindy struts down the hallway.

She ran into the bathroom and kneeled down to him. "Don't listen to her, I'm sure he loves you." Darwin only stares at her wide eyed for a while before running full speed out of the bathroom.

Feeling horrible for him, Penny starts to message Gumball on Elmore Plus.

Penny✨✨✨: Gumball...I got a video.

Gumball 💙: That's great! Well, not great...pretty bad actually, but great in the long term!

Gumball💙: Send it to me

Penny✨✨✨: You're not gonna like this one...

Penny✨✨✨ has sent a video

...

Gumball💙 has watched the video

He was furious to say the least. I mean, he knew she was horrible, but never in a million years would he have guessed that she would go that far. He also couldn't believe that she convinced him. Was he really that insecure? Whatever it was, this was her fault. Words couldn't describe how much Gumball wanted to slap the shit out of her... no, Darwin's more important right now. Darwin needs his brother.

Penny✨✨✨: Gumball? Are you ok?

Gumball💙: Where is he?

Penny✨✨✨: Oh, I saw him leave early today.

Gumball💙: Thank you so much, I gotta find him, bye.

Penny✨✨✨: Bye, Gumball./p

Without a pass, Gumball ran out of the school. The second he left, he saw Mindy reading a book on the stairs. He wanted to grab her attention and yell at her, go on a rant screaming and swearing, he wanted to make her feel like shit for what she said to Darwin. Oh, all the things he wanted to say... no, Darwin's more important right now.

He tried to walk past her but couldn't even lift a foot before she spoke.

"Oh hey Gumball!" She got up and innocently waved at him.

"What do you want, Mindy?" Gumball asked, desperate to move along.

"You wanna know what my favorite thing about myself is?"

"No I-"

"It's that I'm perfectly capable of hurting people, physically I mean, but it doesn't matter because I don't even need to, I can hurt people with only words, I always know exactly what to say to break their stupid little hearts, like for example, today I told your brother that you don't care about him, I even told him that our conversation behind the school never happened, and the best part it I already have so much power over him that he believed me!"

She innocently laughs, but Gumball was beyond offended. The only reason that he wanted to walk past her in the first place (other than needing to reassure Darwin) was that he didn't want to bring that up, but she was so proud of it that she did it herself.

"Listen here you slimy bitch, because of you I haven't seen my own brother smile in 2 weeks. He's been my best friend since we were kids and now he's always cooped up in his room crying, but you don't care about that, you don't care about anything, you pick on him because he's there and then you go and brag about it. You're obsessed!"

Mindy, shocked by his sudden assertiveness, begins to back away.

"You think you're so perfect but everything about you is completely terrible shit. Fuck you. Fuck everything you care about! YOU'RE THE WORST HUMAN BEING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! YOU DESERVE NOTHING! YOU THINK EVERYTHING'S SO EASY, YOU JUST WANT TO TAKE AWAY EVERYTHING HE CARES ABOUT, DON'T YOU! YOU DUMB BITCH THANKS TO YOU I WAS ALL HE HAD!"

She backed into the stairs and began to trip

"AAAAAA! GUMBALL HELP ME!"

Out of instinct, Gumball grabbed her hands. Mindy tried to pull herself up put it was no use. Mindy rarely exercised, (she stayed fit through shape shifting) She thought she didn't need to with all the mind games she knew how to play.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU IDIOT PULL ME UP!"

"What's wrong? You're perfectly capable of hurting people, shouldn't you be able to pull yourself up?"

"Ugh!" She rolled her eyes

"I was lying ok? Just pull me up!"

"And why should I?"

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU'RE ACTUALLY CONSIDERING- GUMBALL I AM A LIVING BREATHING HUMAN!"

"A living breathing human who's been nothing but a jerk to me and my brother!"

"UGH, JUST PULL ME UP, I'LL LITERALLY GIVE YOU ANYTHING! YOU WANT ME TO STOP BULLYING YOUR LITTLE BROTHER, RIGHT? FINE I'LL STOP! I'LL NEVER YELL AT HIM AGAIN, I'LL NEVER SPEAK TO HIM AGAIN, HECK, I'LL EVEN MOVE SCHOOL'S SO HE CAN NEVER SEE ME AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA HAVE TO SEE HIM IN PAIN BECAUSE OF ME AGAIN!"

Gumball thought about this. He thought of all the times he had to see his little brother cry because of this girl. He teared up right there just thinking about it. That girl's life now depended on him. She promised she'd leave him alone if he saved him. Gumball couldn't imagine himself ending another human beings life, even if he hated her.

"LIAR!" He shouted now with tears streaming down his face as he not only let go of her, but shoved her down the stairs. He immediately covered her eyes because he couldn't watch. He heard a deafening shriek followed by silence. He slowly uncovered his eyes and nearly threw up. He saw Mindy in her generic form looking completely terrified in a pool of blood. What was he going to do? Tell the police and make it seem like an accident? Nah, they'll find out it was him. Turn himself in? Nah, that was out of the question. Hide the body? It wasn't something we could do with a clean conscience and people would eventually start to wonder where she is, but it was his only option for now. Besides, he did make the right choice in a way, because she was lying.

I might as well tell you what Mindy's generic form looks like now. Keep in mind, throughout the entire story she's taking the form of whatever pretty girl you imagine, she's only in her generic form when she's deadbr /Ok, she looks like the girl we see in "The Pest" before finding out that Jodie was a duck except taller, skinnier, and sparklier. I know, I know, "Gumball should've thrown a shoe at her."
