Nicole and Anais were calmed down once again, but they haven't really talked to Gumball and Darwin for at least two days. Maybe because they didn't want to talk to them after getting in trouble like this. Not only that, but Gumball and Darwin decided not to really talk to the girls either in retaliation. Over the course of the days, they began pranking one another horribly like filling venomous snakes in a drawer for them to jump and bite Nicole, and have a rabid wolverine attack Anais from the city zoo.
The ladies themselves also pranked the boys, minus Richard of course, and one involved Gumball getting electrocuted by the toilet while peeing due to an electric chip implanted on the side of it, making the electricity flow through the urine, and... you know the rest.
Anais pulled a prank on Darwin by dropping a bowling ball on his head from the roof as soon as he got out of the door to get the mail. The pranks were getting meaner and worse overtime, but at last, the day came when it was time for Mr. Small's appointment. Richard was more than happy to get the family to the school so they can all settle this little conflict between the two sides. As soon as they got their, they went to Mr. Small's office, and the counselor was more than happy to escort the family to his office.
"Ah, good afternoon, Wattersons." said Mr. Small. "Do come and take a seat in my office."
"Before you start," Richard edged his face closer to Small's before whispering in his left ear: "I'm going to step out for a minute, just in case they start fighting again."
"Of course Richard. Why not go for a little stroll for a few minutes?"
"Normally, I don't like walking, but sure." as Richard stepped out of the office, Gumball and Darwin were seated on the left and Nicole and Anais were seated on the right of them, both sides on front of mister small.
As soon as everyone was settled in, the counselor cleared his throat, and began: "so... I hear that you two are at each other's throats."
"Well, we've been trying to mind our own business when these two harpies just try and hurt us after telling the police on them." Gumball bitterly looked at the two ladies, along with Darwin.
"They are trying to make our lives miserable." Darwin added.
"Well, they siced a wolverine on me." Anais pointed.
"After you fill my fish bowl with gum!" said Darwin.
"Well Gumball placed venomous snakes in one of my kitchen drawers and I got bitten five tiems." said Nicole, pointing her finger at her eldest son.
"Well she tried to set me on fire!" Gumball exclaimed.
"Only after you ruined our lives!" Nicolr defended herself.
The two sides began bantering and quirelling more and more until Mr. Small honked an air horn at them to make them be quiet. "Alright. You guys are a family, and families should not treat one another like this. Granted, you guys are... complicated, but you still love each other."
"I know," Nicole sighed. "But Gumball and Darwin ratted us out to the cops."
"For a good reason, Nicole." Mr Small said flatly.
"Okay, maybe we did go a little overboard, but you should have seen dad's face when he was hurt."
"Well, I said I was sorry for thinking of him as a moron." Gumball said. "I learnt my lesson, but I think you are a terrible influence on us now."
"What kind of parents would do that to their own children?" Darwin added. "You got what you deserved."
"Well the police took every Daisy the Donkey merchandise I ever have away from me!" Anais shouted. "I lost every one of them because of you squealing away at the police."
"Oh, and mom also nearly broke my hands and squish them like pancakes by slamming my laptop screen on my hands! It really hurt mom!"
"Alright, but did you have to badmouth us like this?"
"It's not my fault. You guys are the true losers, not us!"
Nicole tried attacking Gumball after being called that word, but Anais stopped her by pulling her back. "Alright! Alright! Do not make me honk this air horn again!" Mr. Small warned. The two sides were calm again, and he smiled at how quiet it became. "Now, any more issues?"
"Yeah, we've had it with the way you treat us, mrs. Mom!" Darwin pointed his finger again.
"And we have had it with all the yelcrime! Gumball said.
"What?"
The fish boy continued pointing the finger when he said: "You are such an embittered crone!"
"All you ever do is scream!" Gumball added.
"And order us around like we're soldiers instead of children!"
"There is just something wrong with you ladies! If this is how you wanna treat us, then we want nothing to do with you anymore."
"Alright everyone, calm down." said Mr. Small. "I know you guys are in a tight situation here, but that's why I have a perfect solution." the two sides raised their eyebrows, looking confused. "You two sides need the 'Role Reversal' technique."
"What's that?" Anais asked.
"It is when you switch roles in your life for a temporary amount of time, so that way: you can learn a thing a two about empathy. You can put yourself in one another's shoes so you can understand how they feel, and learn about mutual respect."
Gumball crossed his arms and asked in a flat, sarcastic tone of voice: "so, all I have to do is cook food, learn karate, get a job, and scream all the time?"
"And I just have to be a cute little girl and leave a happy-go-lucky life without a care in the world, fixated on all things Daisy the Donkey?" Darwin added.
"If That's all they do. Then yes." said Mr. Small.
"Wait, i- I don't even know what Gumball does." said Nicole.
"I do this!" Gumball gave her a very painful and forceful hand slap in the back of her head, making her shout "Ow!"
Darwin even farted on Anais' face. "And I do that." said the fish boy
"OH LET ME AT EM!" Nicole was furious again, and she tried killing Gumball for slapping her like that.
At last, Mr. Small blew the air horn again, and silenced them. "Wrong! So, that's why, the role reversal begins now. Nicole, Anais, you go first."
"Fine" said Nicole and Anais in a flat voice.
In a rather insulting voice, Nicole said: "duuuuuuhh! Mom, can you bring me some food? I'm so lazy! And I wanna write a smiley face on Miss Simian's butt, and Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh!"
Gumball was obviously insulted and he retaliated by saying in a mocking voice: "Blaaaaaaah! Richard! Do not spend my money on candy again! And boys, go do your homework or else I you with a horse whip! Blaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" he was flailing his face while he was going "blblblblblblblblblblb!" to mock her mother.
"Ooh, what does this do? A knife?" Anais asked, mocking Darwin. "Don't care, I am too happy to he smart. Blah blah blah."
"I am Anais and I am surrounded by idiots. I love Daisy the Donkey so much that i can marry her! Bleeeeeeeeeggggghh!"
They both began making faces and taunting sounds to one another, for this situation was going to get worse before it gets better. "See?" Mr Small said: "isn't this better?" the four glare at Mr. Smalm for asking a question like that. "What?" he shrugged. "I think this will work out great for you guys."
