It had been five days, yet Julie could not get over the event that occurred.

Instead of being angry like Oliver, she was sorrowful, and felt bad for what had happened.

She didn't want to tell her husband this, since she knew he was still in a bit of a sour mood.

"Have a good day sweetheart." She said to Oliver, kissing him on the cheek.

Once he left, she sighed.

The house was now eerily quiet, which seemed to bother her each day.

She looked at the calander, which read that today Marcie would leave the hospital.


It was now 4:05, as Marcie and Gumball watched the TV on the wall, with a bored kind of expression on their face.

The characters on the screen kissed, which made the two groan in annoyance.

"Ugh.. I hate when they do that kissing scene.. It's like they're running out of ways to intrigue the audience or something.." Marcie complained.

The door opened, which caught their attention.

"Marcie?"

Hearing the voice, Gumball quickly went under the bed, before imedietly getting pulled back up by Marcie.

"Hold on a minute there. Just keep calm okay?"

Julie appeared in the doorway, with a look of happiness and sorrow.

"Hello Marcie." She greeted.

"Hi mom." Marcie greeted back, with a smile on her face.

She noticed her father's absence, which confused her a little.

"So where's dad?" She asked.

Julie sighed, and began to explain.

"Your father's at work, he's not really in a good mood right now."

Marcie shrugged, sort of expecting that.

"You're not upset or mad like him right now, right?"

Julie shook her head no.

"Not in the slightest."

Gumball raised his eyebrow confused.

"Wait.. But.. Your face that night.. You're not scared of me anymore?..."

"I wasn't scared at all to begin with. I was only terrified by the fact that kidnapper was there with a weapon. It also just surprised me a little, not scared me in any sort of way." She explained.

"But it's not like dad was the same way either." Marcie said, with a small scowl on her face.


Marcie was finally out of the hospital, and was walking back to her house, with Gumball by her side.

"So, any news on Jordan?" Marcie asked.

"Uh.. Not that I've heard.. All I heard was that he said 'anyone or anything she cares for can kill her. Even if she thinks they won't.' or whatever. Not really that sure." He replied.

"So that's Jordan's lame exuse for almost killing me?"

She had a bit of bitterness in her voice, since she thought that was a terrible reason to hurt her.

"I guess so.."

After a few minutes, they arrived at Marcie's home, only to stop and look in surprise.

Oliver stood in the driveway, with a scowl on his face, which they both knew was not a good sign.

"Oh uh.. Hey dad.. I'm all better now!" Marcie said, with nervousness in her voice.

Her father only huffed, and looked at the two with a glare.

"Dad please, you just misunderstood okay?"

"I didn't misunderstood anything young lady. It's pretty damn obvious that 'friend' of yours tried to kill that man!"

Marcie scowled a little, since she hated the swearing he was using.

"Dad stop. He didn't mean to! Gumball would never try and hurt somebody on purpose!"

"There was blood dripping from it's damn mouth Marcie!"

Marcie and her father continued to argue, with Marcie defending.

"That thing is a monster Marcie! I don't want you keeping it with you!"

"Gumball is NOT a monster! You're only assuming that!"

The words Oliver used were hurtful to him, as Gumball began to melt, hurt and worry on his face.

"JUST GET OFF MY DAMN PROPERTY!"

He flinched a little, not expecting Marcie to yell like that.

Oliver huffed once more, and angrily left the driveway.

"Things have consequences Marcie! You'll have to learn that sooner or later!"

Her father left, leaving only Gumball and Marcie to be in the driveway now.

Marcie looked over at him with concern, since she noticed the look on his face, even during the aruguement.

She noticed tears also beginning to form in his eyes, as he continued to melt terribly.

"Hey, don't cry.. What my dad said wasn't true.."

Marcie bent down and wiped some of the tears from his face.

"Everything's going to be okay-"

She was interrupted by a weird sound, and the two looked up in the sky to see the second void entrance/exit open up.

"What the.."

They watched, as a static figure came out, landing on the ground perfectly, a remote looking device in his hand.

Gumball gasped, realizing who this was.

"Rob..."

Another figure came out as well, but was more distorted and flat.

Marcie took Gumball by his arm, and began to drag him back, since he was still in a terribly melted state, to the point where his legs were almost just puddles, making it nearly impossible for him to walk himself.

The distorted figure began to materialize, and Gumball's eyes widened in shock.

"D...Darwin?!"

The figure, now known as Darwin, continued to distort, but could still be recognizable.

"Wait Rob what happened to me?!" Darwin began to freak out, as he noticed the distorting.

"Never mind that. There he is!"

Gumball began to panic, since he knew where this was going.

Marcie continued to drag him back, with worry and panic on her face as well.

"Come on Marcie! Faster!"

"I can't go any faster! You're too heavy!"

"How on Earth am I heavy right now?! I'm literally becoming a puddle!"

"Where your legs are yes! But not your head!"

"Yahhh!" Darwin charged, but went through the two like a ghost.

Frusterated, Rob pointed the remote and pressed a button, but it didn't work.

"You have got to be kidding me!"

He pressed the button over and over, but nothing happened.

Darwin continued to try and charge at the two, but only phased through them each time.

"Rob I can't do anything! It's like I'm a ghost!" He said, with a frown on his face.

Rob gave up, and went off to go fix the remote, completely abandoning Darwin.

"Wait Rob! Don't leave me!"

But it was too late, and Rob disappeared.

Tears formed in his eyes, now that he was all alone.

He turned around, noticing Gumball and Marcie were still there, with confusion and worry on their faces.

Darwin put his fin out, which again, phased through.

In a sigh of defeat, he went to go follow Rob.

"Wait! Darwin don't go!"

Gumball let go of Marcie, as he was finally reverting back to normal.

He came closer, which only made Darwin back up.

"Hey! Don't get any closer bad guy!" Darwin said, with a bit of panic on his face.

Gumball stopped, a look of confusion on his face.

"Bad guy?.. Dude it's me!"

"Yeah it's you, you're the bad guy!"

"Darwin will you just listen for a second?!"

He stopped, and let Gumball continue.

"Look Darwin, I don't know what Rob did to you, but I'm not the bad guy. He is."

"How can I trust you?.." Darwin asked, narrowing his eyes with suspition.

Gumball sighed, only having one option left to do.


The episode on the TV ended, yet Darwin still didn't understand.

"I don't understand.."

Knowing he would say this, Gumball got off the couch, and pointed at themselves on the screen, as the next episode played.

"This is us. And I.."

He pointed at himself on the screen.

"I'm your brother and best friend."

"But I don't know you!" Darwin said, with confusion on his face.

"That's because that weird static place must of done something to erase me from your mind."

Gumball turned off the TV, with some sorrow now on his face.

"Look okay?! We're best friends and brothers! We always went on crazy adventures together and always goofed off whenever we felt like it.."

Tears began to form in his eyes, as he continued on.

"We played videogames together, and.."

He still cried, remembering memories.

"Please dude just remember me! Please!"

Gumball began to melt again, and become his melted form, still desperately trying everything to get his brother and best friend back.

Darwin was startled a little by Gumball's new appearance, as he tried to remember who he was.

Just as all hope was lost, memories began to flood into Darwin's brain, as he began to remember.

He let out a gasp, now remembering everything.

"Gumball it is you!"

He tried to hug him, but phased through.

They then looked down at the ground surprised, as they noticed that as Darwin stepped into the blue goop, his foot began to materialize more.

Soon, everything was materializing, which still shocked the two.

Once it stopped, Darwin reached his fin out again, and smiled with joy, as he didn't phase through this time.

The two embraced in a hug, as Gumball reverted back to normal.

He got Darwin back.
